Hi, can anyone advise what things we need to buy to prepare for nursery at catholic kindergarten? We are currently residing overseas and just enrolled my daughter into N2 next year. We won't be able to attend the orientation. So from what I read we have to buy white shoes? Should I be getting...

Sapphire, I just got bad news from the hospital just now, so I will be terminating this pregnancy. Please remove my name from the list, thanks. All the best to the rest of the mummies here!

I just went for a CVS last week due to our genetic history. Procedure went well, now is just the anxious waiting for the genetic results. So far only got know that the initial chromosomal results are normal and that I'm expecting a boy.. Another thing is that I'm putting on weight too fast...

My chart is different from Berries's one, I found this link in the August 2013 mummies thread: http://www.chinesegenderchart.info/gender-calculator-selection.php

I looked up the lunar calendar and it says that mine will be a boy! I don't really mind either as long as healthy, my #1 is a girl and is such a daddy's girl. plohcm43, take care.

I saw a news report that said she is due in early July.

Yeng Lin, I'm Stephanie.

Hey Yeng Lin, I'm from the same July 2011 fb group as you, but my #2 is due in July 2013 instead. I'm co-sleeping with #1 also, thinking either one of them will have to be in a different room.. probably have to train #1 to sleep alone..

Sapphire, I'm not sure coz I don't know how I will manage with a young toddler and a newborn with no other family members here, so a bit torn. Coz if I go back to SG to give birth then my hubby can't be with me coz he is still studying here but will be done by end of next year.

Hi ladies, I'm expecting my #2. My #1 is a 16-month girl. But I'm not in Singapore at the moment, residing in Brisbane. Still deciding whether to go home to Singapore to give birth or to give birth in Brisbane. EDD: 22-Jul-13 Gynae: Nil Baby #: 2 hospital: TBA Gender: TBA

dancebaby, I think as long as your doc says you are okay to travel in your 3rd trimester, and you are having a single pregnancy with no complications, it should be fine.

Hi dancebaby, I am also going to be travelling in my 3rd trimester (~30 weeks). Will be taking an 8-hr direct flight to Singapore from Brisbane and back again. You will need to get a letter from your gynae to state that you are fit for travel. Different airlines will have their own policies so...

Jan-ice: No worries, I think it depends on the field of study, he's in science so a lot of people will go on to do a PhD. Quite stressful though, I don't know whether to return to part-time or full-time work after my maternity leave. How about you? Will you find a job a few months after giving...

suying: Thanks. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Jan-ice: Yup he is Singaporean also, I was lucky that my boss knows his supervisor so was recommended for a job. Otherwise I think it wouldn't be so easy being a foreigner.

Jan-ice: I came here to look for work, was just accompanying my hubby when he accepted a scholarship to do his PhD in Australia. Luckily managed to find a full-time job here if not I don't know how we would cope. It must be tough being apart from hubby, it's good that he is planning to return to...

Jan-ice, suying: I'm in Australia for work while my hubby is studying. Unfortunately we are not Australian PRs so no childcare/family benefits for us here. Finances-wise will be quite challenging for us. Will be here for another 2-3 years I think, but really miss Singapore sometimes..

Thanks all for your support! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] suying: I'm already 21 weeks' pregnant. I'm in australia now and only found out about the thalassemia when my blood tests showed it, coz this pregnancy was an unplanned one. Then the hospital...

Just to share that my amniocentesis results came back today and my baby is okay, just a alpha thalassemia minor like my hubby and I. So happy and relieved. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

ST, thank you for sharing that, it touched my heart as well, felt teary when I read it.

Speaking of thalassemia, I'm still waiting for my amniocentesis results for that, coz DH and I both have thal minor. There's a 25% chance of hydrops fetalis which the doc said will not be able to survive after 33 weeks. Just praying every day that bb is normal..
