Hi mummies,
Thank you for your well wishes. But hor, isn't 12-13months gap a little too soon?
I guess my 'problem/worry' will be solved if hubby agree to stay near to sengkang.
btw mummies, i was reading our posts a year ago from the archive. Aiyo, we all been through so much for the past months and also from the day we realised we were preg. The anxiety, the happiness.. and also the support we gained from one another. Looking back, days will be harder to pass if without the forum to share our thoughts.

Hi Cindy,
Mine was natural. That why gynae said no issue. But i very scared. Cos mine was assisted with forceps. painful. and there was tear also.
Ya, i cant stand being at home one. friends all saY i am crazy. say my house so cosy, they would rather stay at home and do some work and rest. but hor, i cannot one lei. tat time after CL left, i was stucked at home with maid and kiros. i think i felt so lousy and low. Depression almost hit me. Fortunately i moved to my mum's place fast enough. This time if really preg, i think will be jiat lat. how to stay at my mum's place? my bedroom will be too small to accomodate 4 persons liao.
But if stay at bukit batok whole day i think i will die. hubby said he would rather buy me a car than to move house. Again lor, erason being the sensitive issue of shifting near to wife's family. CRAZY.

S@L, K@ye,
Thanks for your advise. I have tried to iron things out with my mum. S@L, you're right, I'm not very good at staying home all the time with my boy. Even though I want to, I get bored easily and I'm used to having a career. We had already told my mum I'll be paying her about $800/mth to look after Joseph. Even though it's only half of what she earns, she wont have to pay for her own food and utilities etc since she'll be staying with us. But the issue with her is she is worried that when we decide to send Joseph to daycare, she'll be redundant and have to look for job again. I told her that's a likely scenario, or it could even be that we leave the country. I found out her main worry is trying to look for a job when that time comes, and knowing she'll be 62 or 63 by then and harder to find a job. For my mum, money is everything. So I told her to decide if she wants to look after Joseph even though it may be temporary. See what she says lah.....in the mean time, I'll look for infantcare, just in case.

Plim,
Yeah, you're right, giving money to parents is an Asian culture and I've explained that to my husband before. My husband just finds it very weird because his mum is looking after his brothers child for no money. Of course, like you said,have to think about the value of having my mum look after my baby etc. The thing is, my mum doesnt really know how to handle babies or look after Joseph and the maid is better with him in fact. When the baby cries, my mother doesnt know what to do, and my maid will ahve to come running and carry the baby. I just taught my mum that day how to change diapers and feed him and the baby refuses to finish the bottle when she feeds him. So end up, me or my maid will take over. Hence, the point of having my mum around is mainful just to "supervise" the maid and stay home to keep an eye and help my maid when she needs to cook and can't look after baby. Hence, it's even harder to convince my hubby why we should give my mum $800 a month.

Pig,
Congrats!! Omygawd!! That must be really exciting! Agree with you it's good to "get it done with" and have two quickly then maybe close factory if you want. Haha. I also want! hehee... But remember to take lots of calcium hor. Because your body is still replenishing some of its nutrient stores so make sure you eat very very well ok?

yes, I agree that giving $$ is Spore culture.. living here, nothing is free. I had this problem of who will be looking aft my bb once i need to get back to work. My bro & SIL last min told me that they cant help to look aft for me coz my SIL needs to send her 2 kids to sch everyday, the maid needs to take care of my Grandma. Lucky my hubby's relative willingly to help. But it would be more tiring for us coz need to wake up at 530am to send to relative's plc to prevent caught in early jam.. and fetch my bb cailyn back after work. Cant hire maid coz no one at home supervising the maid.. worry the maid will abuse my bb when no one is around. Too many child abuses by maids, very worry.. =(

HI Twiggy,
Thanks..
Regarding giving money.. ever since i started working i have been contributing to my family. And even when i stopped working,i cont'd to do so as i have a younger bro still in university. My hubby couldnt understand this point either. He was saying, why must contribute when you are already not working? I think till tis day he still doesnt see my point. So far he only raise his doubts, he didnt stop me from doing so.
I guess its very hard for guys to understand the point? Maybe. That why most people prefer to have gals in family. whereby we will continue to care for family when married.

Re: Giving Money to parents
The moment i started working, I contribute almost 50% of my pay to my family coz back then, my siblings still schooling and only my dad & i are working.
Now, i still contribute a fair bit to my family and that idiotic hubby of mine told me that I dun have to give so much to my family coz he din have to give as much to his parents. My PILs are running their own business, they dun even need the $$ from their children. They could even help out financially towards their children (my younger siblings in laws' family)
My Mum also paiseh that i gave her so much. I told my Mum since now i can give her the $$, she keep it coz i never know when i hv to stop giving her the $$$.
To me, contributing $$ to the family is a form of responsibility towards the family. I basically buey song with my hubby on the amt to give coz the money is mine and its none of his concern as i dun interfere on the amt of $$ he gave his parents to!
Now, i m even more evil. I m thinking of drafting a will to stipulate that if touch wood, i die.... The money from my insurance policies and etc, can't be touched by my hubby at all.

Hi K@ye,
yes yes.. i am just like you. i still giving money now even though i am not working. but i have make it point not to let my hubby know so much about me giving money to my family side. Since young, my mum has been telling me, keep your own finances. Dont have to be so honest to your hubby especially where money is concern.
My hubby also feel that i shouldnt be giving money to my parents since i am not working. i dont care. He can say that cos his parents are not waiting for his money. in fact it his mum whom will worry that he has not enough money to spend. With such different family values, i see no point to explain so much to him my stand of giving money to my family.
From the day i rom-ed, i do up my cpf nomination, my insurance nominations. Cos i heard that moment when married, all previous nominations will be invalid. I appointed my mum as beneficiary should anything untoward happen to me. I ever heard from the trustee dept of my ex coy that they have clients going to them. The female clients are worried that they money will go to their husband when they die. The female clients want to do up a will/trust that the money will go the kids. Reason being, the female client worried that should she pass away before her hubby, the hubby will remarry, and if he is the beneficiary, he may use her money on the children that the 2nd wife is going to bear him and. And in the end is her own children going to suffer. Somehow, i think think, it does make lots of sense.

pig07: congrats!! wah, so lucky ah... i was just thinking how much i miss being pregnant...
everyone: i think my hubby would faint (not from joy) if i got preggie again. he's really tired out with just one... coz he now has to work super long hours just so that i can stay home and take care of bb. then at night he still helps out. in fact, he's quite traumatised by the whole process... sigh. coz we didn't hire any help, just take care of bb ourselves all the way. he's now so scared of the prospect of having another and going through all of it again, that he doesn't even dare share the same bed as me leh... sob sob. but the strange thing is, he loves our bb so much, yet he's so traumatised at the same time. i also dunno how that is possible?!

pig,
CONGRATS!!! that's amazing...! You must be thrilled! By the way, I read in this mag, kids having a year apart have lesser siblings rivalry and they grow up v v v close (sweetness). so be thankful! Besides, it'll be more economical too. They can sleep together, do a lot of things together.

Pig, yalor. That's what my cousin did too. She is also afraid that if she die and her hubby remarried, her sons cham liao. So, she made a will that her younger sis will be in charge of the money received from insurance policy etcc and when her sons reached 18 years old. The money will be given to her sons. Think i better do this fast!
Pig, same here. My MIL constantly worried that her children has not enough $$ to spend and spoilt the kids rotten. U know hor, everytime go out dinner session with my ILs. The children (including my hubby) never paid a single cent! Take for granted that parents must pay!
Nevermind, they all spoilt their children like nobody's biz. Like my SIL will ask her daughter (4yrs old), what she wants to eat. The daughter will say alot of things, then they will order lor. Most of the time, it ended the food being wasted. I told myself that i must not spoil Claire in such a way.
Anyway, i think i will raise Claire like the way my Mum raise me. Must take away all the negative aspects of my Mum's methods though!

Hi mummies,
my hubby was telling to treat it like having a pair of twins lor. Then i will feel better and not worry about unable to take care of kiros and the 2nd one at the same time. In fact, his brother has a pair of twin boys. My sister has a pair of twin boys too.
Then i throw the qns back at him, what if its really twins for us this time?? he was dumbfounded.
I prefer to have another boy while hubby prefer to have a gal. So i guess either way is fine.
Kaye,
same same. we never pay a single cent when we go dinner with in laws. even during father's day, mother's day, birthdays, the dinners are still paid for by my in laws.
Yr sil really take her daughter's word for it and order what she mentioned? abit too much bah?! we dont have to be hard on ourselves and our children when comes to eating and buying stuff.. but we also dont have to over do it mah. What she is doing is very bad influence on the child lei.
my hubby was telling to treat it like having a pair of twins lor. Then i will feel better and not worry about unable to take care of kiros and the 2nd one at the same time. In fact, his brother has a pair of twin boys. My sister has a pair of twin boys too.
Then i throw the qns back at him, what if its really twins for us this time?? he was dumbfounded.
I prefer to have another boy while hubby prefer to have a gal. So i guess either way is fine.
Kaye,

Hi K@ye,
Like that ah, your niece will surely grow up to be spoilt one. Like when things dont go her way or give her what she wants she will surely throw tantrums.
Preference for boy cos i thought since kiros is boy then give him a 'buddy', 'partner' to play with. If gal, the things the girl playing with might be too girlish for kiros. Vice versa.
Some are saying since already used to the momentum of looking after, then might as well give birth and carry on the 'job' and finished it up. some said if wait too long for second one then might be too tired to go thru the whole process of waking up in the nite, taking care, running after etc and in the end most likely to not give birth to second one. Heard so many people say best to have 2 kids within 3 years, or 3 kids within 5 years.
Sigh.. i also dont know lei. Guess if the pregnancy is REAL, then jus gotta accept it.

pig07,
CONGRATS!!!!!!
So your prediction came true!! I can just image the shock you must be in when u realise that you are indeed pregnant. Now, you will have double happiness. Its good that you and your husband are soo positive. I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry if it was me!! It is a wake up call for the rest of us who haven't thought about contraception. (me!)
Take care, try to rest and keep us updated on your progress.

hi mummies..
long time no post here, not sure u all still remember or not... still sneak a peek here once in awhile tho'...
<font color="ff6000">pig</font>
CONGRATS!!! hehehe... hope u dont mind me being kaypoh, but u r going thru e exact same situation as I did last year... my boy & girl are 12.5months apart... when i tested positive last year, i was in self denial for a very long time.. dont worry, its perfectly normal to feel worried now... but trust me, "chuan dao qiao tou, zhi ran zhi" (chinese)...
like u, i was very concerned abt shortchanging my #1 as he was juz 4mths old then n im going to be preggy again. i didnt have confinement at all 1st time round so body was quite weak, so 2nd time round i was tired alot more easily, plus having to take care of #1. but i've never regretted it... altho gorgor usually has a "bo-chup" attitude towards his meimei most of e time, sometimes when he does play with her, its reli heartwarming... n meimei has a soft-spot for gorgor, cos when he plays with her, she'll laugh louder than if any1 else plays with her...
but juz to share with u e "realistic" part of tis scenario, i have my mum taking care of #1 until 2 months before #2 was due then i hired a maid... at tis stage, we definitely need 2 persons to take care of 2 of them, cos gorgor is walking n running around now n needs supervision 24/7.. not reli possible for 1 person to handle both... but if $$ is not a concern for u, n u do intend to hire e confinement lady for 1yr tis time round, then i think tats a great option.. it'll almost be like a 24/7 live-in professional nanny... while u'd then be able to concentrate on #1...
<font color="0000ff">bf as a contraceptive</font>
sorry girls, but I have to refute all e notions u all may have tat bf-ing and no menses = contraceptive. cos i hit jackpot when i was still bf-ing my #1, NO MENSES... and only did e "deed" ONCE!!! my gynae never warned me abt tis possibility tat time... tats y so naive...

so exciting pig07! congrats!!
Eliza usually doesn't wake up for milk but got 2 nights she did, and now she doesn't know how to latch on liao...cos i've been bottle feeding her in the day and since she dun drink milk at night (which is the only time i'll latch her on then), when i tried that 2 times, she couldn't seem to know how to latch on...wah..so i have to go warm up the milk, by then she so hungry she crycry..in the end i only half warm up the milk and give her drink. but also cos i've been trying to stretch her milk to 4hrs...but she didn't always finish all so i guess she woke up hungry.
any babies starting to teeth? Eliza's teething, and so many patterns lately, so we bought teething gel and she was so happy when we rubbed her gums with it. funny gal. but also must be quite a relief for her.

Wah, congrats Pig07...must be really excited again...this time you have all the experiences, so should be less gan jiong. Anyway do take care.
Skye skye, think my boy also teething...see,s to be drooling alot lately, and keep putting his hands/fingers into mouth, also quite cranky the past couple of weeks, suddenly cry inconsolably. Furthermore, his feeding pattern also changed, like drinks much less these days. Just bought a teething ring, will try it out tomorrow. What does the teething gel do? Provide relief? Is it safe to use?

Hi Mummies,
Huh.. i wasnt so positive about it lei. I really hope i can be 'infected' by little bit of the positiveness that you mummies having out there about having a 2nd one so soon..
Hi Cactusnah,
i havnt move to nov08 thread.. and i think i wont bah. I have more in common with the Nov07 thread mummies lei.
Hi Starz,
Really.. you were in exactly the same predicament? Just how did you survive? You are not kaypoh. i was hoping to hear from someone in the situation similar to mine. And i thot no one will be silly like me lor. all the while i was searching thru forum, i can only find and read posts by mummies with 2 kids age gap like 15 months or more difference. Never read about 12 months gap at all. Cannot find someone to relate to also.
Hi Plumsource,
I think i was more of in a shock than happiness. I was praying when waiting for the result in the toilet. i closed my eyes and pray so hard. Alamak, 2 lines. To be frank, i even cried when i saw its positive. Its really the last thing i wish can happen. Then the next few days when i was trying to tok to my hubby about it, he can see my worried look etc. But he couldnt do much either. I mean we both jus had to accept it and try to look at the brighter side since it has happened.
When i went to see my gynae last week, i told my hubby to wait outside. he was buffled why i didnt want him to enter with me. Still he respected my wish and waited outside. The moment i entered, i was smiling, then the gynae saw me and my file, and i broke down. i told him i might be preg again. and this pregnancy is unintended. he got a shock when he saw me breaking down. He tried to comfort me but i guess he has little words
I mean we love to have more than i kid, but it might be a little early. I am like angry with myself for letting happen.
The doc then told me not to worry too much. too see him 2 weeks later then decide what to do. He said he couldnt see anything yet via ultrasound and told me to let things happen naturally. And he looked at my age and said, well, jus let it happen and give birth and close shop and finish it up.
Elaine, you were asking who my gynae. I am seeing a/prof John Tee at KKH TPS.
i feel so bad and unfair toward tis second one (if there is), that i am so moody about it. I was so thrilled when i first learnt that i was pregnant with kiros. everyone said kiros is so smiley as he takes after me. But tis round i wasnt so happy. maybe cos there are jus too many uncertainties ahead.

Hi Elaine,
mense late might be normal. But if in doubt, go do a test. i thought i shld be 6 weeks preg, but doc said shld be 4weeks plus nia as he couldnt see anything via ultrasound. so i guess he minus off the extra days as mense will be irregular for a start after delivery.
Now i recall, when i did the test on day 39, it was a faint faint positive. when i did it on day 41, omg, the positive line was very obvious.
So perhaps gynae was right anyway that i am only 4 weeks plus and not 6 weeks.

Thanks Tinkabel. Ya, i was trying to be positive. A minute i will be ok as i thot aiya, just let it happen and see how it goes la. A minute i will not be as the uncertainties dawn on me more.
Aiyo, sekali i stil have post natal hormones from kiros, and now i kenna pre natal for the 2nd one.. double dose.. hahaha...
But anyway, i tink tink, maybe i will appreciate it more when they grow up to be like 2 and 3 year old. By then hopefully can shake leg a little.
