Mummy instinct quite accurate one, you will agar agar know when you will be delivering.. So far, mine very accurate.
I have the nesting instinct for both deliveries. But for Jolene's time, I never realised cos it was too early. I never knew I would deliver so early then. So that time was ka rang ka bo for me, no preparation at home. So when Jaslyn's time, I agar agar "knew" the time coming soon, plus gynae's assurance that I will delivered within certain day during my 2nd last checkup. Then my last checkup, he confirmed I will delivered the next day, and wanna me to admit that nite. Things were moving very fast.
My mum stopped me from bringing Jolene home after my 2nd last checkup. She scared I might delivered midnite and no one to take over Jolene. So that time, I actually visited Jolene after work or rushed thr my work and took half day leave to company Jolene, cos my mum already told me to leave Jolene with her for the entire mth when I was doing confinement. But in the end, on and off, my hb would fetch Jolene back home for few days then.
So, you gotta work out a plan, who will/can take over Damien when you go into labour. So Damien won't get a shock when he can't see you for a day, especially you are with him most of the time.
babe,
sorry forgot to reply you ynite on one of yr qns. Yes, woodlands civil centre is only opp causeway point. You can drop by to check.
pups, Gemini,
Hmm... I haven't have the tots to send Jaslyn for any playgroup to get used to "classroom settings". I think she will have "culture shock" when she starts her pre nursery next year. I feel, this is the disadvantage of a almost year end bb. When Jolene attends her pre nursery class, she's 2 years 11 mths old, almost 3 years old. But when it comes to Jaslyn's turn, Jaslyn will only be 2 years 3 mths old. Though is only 8 mths differences, but it is a big difference for kid's development.
Gemini,
Jaslyn also very zhuo bor at home, mess up here mess up there, screaming, crying, eat and sleep, watch tv show, oh she very bo liao one, she watches those taiwanese hokkien show with my dad. My bro doesn't allow my gals to watch DVD cartoons or whatever at home. Reason he argues with me is, the gals watch long hrs of TV together with my dad. Plus my bro super green, minimise electric usage at home one. Bo pian lah, he's the one paying... So if my mum on the TV for the gals, my bro will goes and off it.
Vivian,
Internal bleeding sounds scary leh. Have you seek 2nd opinion? Or are you too stress up?</font>
