hi there, any recommendations for good red and yellow rice wine? my edd is end aug. pls pm me if you do. many thanks!

I find myself getting more irritated in the office. Must be the hormones lol. But I tell myself that its just a job. No point getting upset and feeling down about things. Just focus on doing what you can and be happy at the end of the day. hoping the next few months will be easy but unlikely as...

I announced to friends at 11wks and family and close friends much earlier on. is a personal decision but no right or wrong way to do it. Depends on your comfort level. I preferred to do it after 2 stable scans but before the downs test.

We think probably a maid is a good option for us too. Will start looking around and get one just few weeks before I'm due so that we can train her before the baby comes. anyone has recommendations on good maid agencies? Any idea on agency fees etc? Also any experience with burmese maids? wonder...

how far along are you? When can the ultrasound give doc an idea of the gender? I'm only 11 weeks in and can't wait to find out but don't think I wanna spend on the harmony test unless necessary.

True good help is hard to come by nowadays. Live ins may have problems too. Any comments on how to pick a good live in maid? I guess sometimes it's blind luck...hard to tell from profile or biodata.

Hi all, anyone planning to engage a live in maid once the baby comes? I'm a full time working mum and my parents and in laws are overseas so will have little to no support once I return to work. Baby will likely go into infant care after my ML. I'm just wondering if a maid will help make things...

hi all I'm 11 weeks in and starting to feel my tummy expanding. Cant fit into tighter clothing and trying to camouflage pregnancy at work is getting hard..:) any advice for maternity clothes shopping I.e. When and where to buy good value clothing?

hi all, just wanted to share an anti MS home remedy that works for me. it doesn't involve taking any medication but likely only works on mild to moderate MS cases. can give it a try if you are out of options! :) 1) Ginger drink - slice a medium sized piece (adjust depending on how spicy you like...

Hi there, hang in there. Depending on the culture of your work place and how open you are with your boss, it maybe good to talk to your boss about your situation. It will at least explain the mood swings and work absenses (touch wood!) and he/she maybe more sympathetic. They may also start...

thanks for the support. they did a transv scan on me and blood test too. its weird to have gone in thinking things are alright and then later to be told that there are some issues you never anticipated. i guess that's part of pregnancy and will try to stay positive. fingers crossed and hoping...

hi all, i went for my first doc's visit and they did an ultrasound. at 5w5d they can only see the gestational sac and no yolk sac with some internal bleeding. i was put on bed rest for a week til my next appointment. feeling scared…baby maybe too small to see at this point and dates could be a...

hello all, I tested positive a few weeks ago and I'm 6 weeks today. Seeing gynae this week for first checkup! First time mummy - both excited and nervous :eek: Anyone experiencing morning sickness at 6weeks? I am!
