On this subject... I heard that breastfeeding will actually lower your sex drive? - I can't imagine with all the pain + recovery + sleepless nights... Where do you even get the energy to have sex even.

OK. After hearing what you ladies are saying... Makes me feel more at ease. Now I have a visual of baby swimming round and round in the tummy :D Gynae just said that from WK36 onwards, baby should be mature enough, esp with the developments of their lungs... She is not going to induce me, so...

Exactly, the nurses briefed me on the charges earlier as well. Unless you're sure you want to do a csect, it will be cheaper (just in case, you require an emergency csect). Gynae advised me to go natural, with assistance (bursting of water bag, etc, to hasten the labour process, so I have no...

Went to the Gynae today at 28wks 5days, baby is weighing in at 1245g (which is average), but I've gained 10kg now. Baby's head is also down, Gynae is not concerned, but my mum is wondering why it has turned so soon.... (Anyone has any experience with this?) Doctor is looking at Baby to be...

Just ended the hospital tour with all the costing + spoken to Gynae's nurse about coatings involved. Whether for natural or csect; also not exceeding $10K! I think what u can do is opt for csect? So it's not that expensive?

It really is pretty useful. Especially what AXA has. Really regretted not getting it earlier on in my pregnancy (from week 14); b/c baby has a tiny heart issue... And now they won't cover. Taking it in my stride, since it's a small heart issue, I'm not letting it affect me as well. But if u are...

Yeah, that's what I thought as well. I signed up for the FBI card... And I know I'd be given 3 books. I'm assuming it's those books they're referring to...

OK. That's good to know. IDK if I can handle recovery down below + pain from stitches + the start of a month-long period (is it true that we will be bleeding for a month?!) + any sort of infection from the poop/pee/not cleaning properly. Headache.........

Thanks a lot!

I heard that the first time you poop and pee AFTER delivery is the hardest or most painful. TBH, that's the part which I'm most afraid of.

Hahah exactly. On D Day, idk if your hubs will still be able to stand there and film the proceeds calmly thou!!!! You need him to hold you I'm sure! / also the important question is, will you be able to stand watching the video of your birthing process thereafter???

Thank goodness I scheduled for professional cleaning services in a couple of weeks' time... Definitely money well spent. Will look into those 3M filters for the AC as well - God knows how much it will be used especially during confinement.

Anyway, thanks to @PixiePosh for her recommendation. I've booked my newborn shoot with Bambini Photography. Hubby & I have looked at their portfolio and it's just too cute to resist! Can't wait to meet my little boy soon and cosy him up in those adorable poses in the studio :D www.bambiniphoto.sg

I have an air purifier in my bedroom now as I'm sensitive to the A/C or dust in my sleeping area.... However, I do have a rather big carpet in my bedroom as well. As an adult, I'm fine. But do you reckon that sleeping with carpets is OK for babies, even with an air purifier?

Exactly... It sounds as though your doctor is very pro-natural though. Same as mine... So I'm definitely weighing my options. I think I still have got another 4/5wks before I commit to anything fully though.... So trying to weigh the pros and cons, especially with recovery....

The more I take the train... The more I fear bringing baby out with a pram. Sometimes, it's just too squeezy, or there's too many people for you to be pushing any sort of things around... Not to mention the stink eye you get from all commuters. The mall situation in SG is also no better.... But...

Cannot see, but will be able to feel 100% right?! Was at antenatal class, and Mrs Wong BB was telling us that our husband/birth partners should be right beside us, instead of in front of us, so hold us and give us support, rather than see the full gory process.

Omg, that really doesn't help at all. Hahah! Considering that we'd be breast-feeding for an extended period of time!

It's good to remain in control; but yes, I agree that the thought of the longer recovery period and prolonged pain, is putting me off... However, at this point in time, it's still up to the gynae to advise us if the baby is too big/placenta is in ok position or not, etc. So I'm just going to...

Thanks for the info. Need to find out more... How to get all $6K fully claimed. I'm due on 29 May (:
