I'm not planning to get CL either, planning to look after baby myself. But my mum will be helping out with the cooking, plus will get a part-time maid to help out once a week with house cleaning etc.
Saw that a lot of your gynaes advise not to put on too much weight. My gynae nvr mention abt my weight gain when I went for detailed scan at 20 wks. However he did mention that it would be normal to put on about 2kg a month. So far, I'm in 23rd week now and gained total of 7kg.

No idea if I can make it for meet-up (due to office location too far from town and I knock off only at meet-up time)
CL will be my mother, although my experience MIL was just telling me she'll get the food and ask my hubby to do delivery, oh no.. I don wana be eating 2 comfinement meals!
I am more worried about my hubby, he works on shift and is a super light sleeper that once awake will not be able to get back to sleep. =(

Adeline: Yeap! I am going to BF of course. Heard can slim down faster that way. Most importantly more healthy for the baby as well.
Melody: I went for TMC to have my detail scan. Baby quite coorperative one, as usual. Mine only lasted less than 20 mins i guess. Quite fast. Anyway, I'm sure during your next scan doctor will be able to see the sex of bb already. =)

cladi, my mil lives near to me. she also havent really confirm she would do confinement for me. my hubby and i think shldnt be a prob, but we will ask her formally and discuss with her. old ppl will like some form of respect from the younger generation.
pinniet, u hv caring brothers. =) must make sure yr hubby also get some good quality sleep leh, otherwise he cant help out much also. last thing we want is a fussing bb and a grouchy hubby. haha.

HELP HELP.....
Last min, my boss boss boss is coming to Singapore for a meeting tomorrow. Will have a one to one session with some of us, so I desperately need a presentable jacket. Anybody know where to get one???
My problem is my old ones and usual non-maternity ones are slightly over waist level. I think one that is slightly longer to cover the elastic band (and wrinkles) of the pants would be better.
Going to Suntec/town after work, any suggestions?

Cladi,
If your MIL were to help you during confinement and look after your baby after that, it also means that she will have to quit her job right? Is her income important for the family? If she quits her job, will you & your hubby give her more pocket money since she will not have income of her own?
I am not living with my MIL. My MIL is also working, but her income is not substantial for maintaining the household (coz my FIL also working) but she said she will quit her job to look after our child. My hubby and I are prepared to give her more money (on top of what he already gives her every month) because she will be looking after our baby.
Just wondering, do you and your hubby contribute to household groceries since you are living with your MIL? Or does she do all the grocery shopping? Maybe if you buy some meat & veggies which you like and put in the fridge (say that you buy for her & hubby) she will cook them (instead of canned food)?

Melody: Actually Doctor will scan from leg position there and like what they say, once doctor see those 3 white lines, he will tell you that it's a girl. Actually i think girl will be easier to see than a boy. =)
You hoping for a girl or boy?
For my case, when I around 15 weeks preggy, my doctor already told me that it's 99% girl. Cuz i think he saw those 3 white lines as they've said.
Erm... U wait ah. I post a picture to show u.

katechow,
haizz i feel so sad for the blogger. hope she'll find happiness behind the misery. i can't believe that a 7 years marriage can fall apart after a 3 week fling! It doesn't make sense at all! perhaps he's going to be one super lousy father if he stays on, so better for them to be apart. i see that she got lots of support so that's not that bad.
babypink,cladi,
i will be scared to have to choose to live with mil or not. my mil is a great person and i don't mind having her around at all. it's just that she's taking care of many other grandchildren on FULL TIME basis, so if i take her in, i have to feed not just her but her other grandchildren as well! that i'm not willing to do. so now my parents live with me b'cos they're willing to take care of my children full time.

Cladi,
Guess you can only 'tahan' then... but try to speak to your MIL. Hopefully she will start to be more open to you. Maybe you can offer to help her to cook too? So that you get to eat some of the food that you like? (Slow cookers are good options if you just want to put everything in a pot)

yeah, u echo my tots !
i hav been wondering y the other woman wants to do this kind of thing, esp to a man whose wife is pregnant
it is sinful and totally irrational..can 2 people fall in love so madly that they can simply ignore the rest of the world
when you ladies first fall in love with your hubbies, was it that mad..not for me & hb case leh
as in we wun leave each other's family for each other lor
