Hi! I just wanna know is it necessary to have confinement nanny for the first month?

I'm actually having issues with having someone to take care of the baby. Family members are busy working. So the only choice I have right now is to hire maid.

But I'm afraid that the maid, might not know how to take care of the child. And I'm also not too sure if I have the energy to take care of the baby during the first month after giving birth. Any suggestions..?

Other than taking care baby? Do you have anyone to prepare the herbal bath, red date tea, confinement meals & do housework for you?
Having a CL, she will guide you & teach your maid on how to take care of infant too.
I had both maid & CL during confinement in previous pregnancy, and I have zero worries during confinement mth cos CL will ensure all is well-taken care. This time it will be same arrangement too.
Nowadays maid doesn't arrived so fast unless transfer maid so you may need to start looking for one now...

Hope the above inputs helps

Hi mummies, currently in my 31 weeks. Feel very uncomfortable since yst night while lying down. I don't know how to explain the discomfort and very mild pain exactly. But it's around my upper tummy. Any mummies experience the same?

In my 33 weeks now. Having pressure pain at pubic area. Even when lying down the moment I want to Turn Left or right slowly turning my leg, I can feel the pressure pain at pubic area. Is it normal? :(
 
Thanks! Cause I tried asking when i was in first tri as i was feeling terrible and my mc were all used up. My gynae told me he cant issue unless hospitalised. So i was thinking if i can get it from hospital instead before delivery.
I just checked with my gynae during my last visit, he said he can issued HL normally 38 weeks onwards...
 
I'm at kkh and they don't offer hospitalization leave . :( So unfair as my colleagues all take 3 weeks before Edd! Do u all know of any private gynae at kkh offers?

Hang in there babe...

I'm 30 weeks now, not getting any contractions. But then again, this is my 1st pregnancy, so I'm not too sure what's normal and what's not.

Feel better soon ok? Any health concerns I think it's best to check with your doctor. They should be able to give you a better advice.

Take care!
 
Very uncomfortable... down with flu bug and the doc said my tummy keep contracts and advise more bed rest. Is contractions normal at 33 weeks?
I was down with the flu bug 2weeks ago and the feeling was terrible.. was on 4days mc.

Rest more and drink more water.

Take care!

Is ur gynae concern on ur contractions? What he/she said?

Jiayou we are in the last lap stage le..

My gynae was not around and I went to normal gp.
Was quite reluctant to take the med, afraid might harm baby. :(

Yea. Last lap already! I thought my pregnancy was a breeze till the last tri. :(

how did your gynae check that it will be so much earlier? So far my doc hasnt mentioned this. my EDD is 11 Dec.
 
Hmm. I'm also around 33 weeks and next scan is 21 Nov. Seems quite long. Seems like the frequency varies from doc to doc?
 


i am around week 32. so far visiting every 3 weeks. have your doc advise if natural or c-sect? mine told me has to c-sect.
