    Advice on hiring maids

    How to slim down?

    Im presuming you are talking about post-pregnancy weight loss.. only proper exercise routine and diet will help to reduce weight.

    My EDD is 6 June and very excited to be FTM! Is anyone here getting a confinement nanny? I was recommended one but she cancelled afterwards (better early than late I suppose). Seems like confinement agencies are charging about $2,700 this year, anyone getting through them?
