Hi Jamie
Welcome to the group. If financially, you can afford (then again, it depends on how you define this term), it would be great to stay at home but of course the downside is financially n whether can we fit into society should we decide to rejoin the workforce.

But to me, baby is priority n i will never regret the decision i make. You must really consider carefully because should u feel stress when looking after baby, you might regret quitting your job. Should you decide to be a SAHM, think carefully n jus accept whatever circumstances that comes your way. Your husband too need to support your decision because it is never advisable to quarrel over $$$$$
Hi tinklebell
Sorry that i got you worried! my baby weight cannot be compared because he is generally BIG. Most important baby n mummy healthy!
Based on experience, it is definitely more advisable to seek as much help as possible during confinement. Trust me, the money will be well spent ... as it is , our bodies are going thro changes (esp mood swings n emotions) after giving birth, it will not be easy trying to look after yourself n baby. Dont forget, this is a "marathon" race ... When your well being is taken care of, you will be happier n thus, your baby will also be happy - it is a cycle
If possible, do not skip any meal ... if not hungry, still must eat a little - e.g. bread with milo ... do not forget, baby is taking nutrients from you
