crystal,
Then wat about ur confinement food? Do you plan to order catering?
My MIL even offer to cook confinement food for me, but i insist i called up catering which i tried before for 1 week during my #1 confinement. My MIL is not very good at cooking confinement food (she did tat for 2 weeks during my #1) and i dont want to ended up with the same problem, so rather spend more money. Moreover, cooking confinemnt food with the sesame oil tends to make the house very oily and smelly. Thou my MIL will mop the floor aft each cooking but the smell is stil there and i dont like my NB's cloth to be 'stain' with all this smell. My MIL was heartpain when she knows the confinement food package price but my hubby told her this shld be the best way.
DIY confinement is really not easy especially u r c-sec. If u plan to bath bb urself, get a table ready so u dont had to kneel down when bathing ur bb.

i lost abt 2-3kg during 1st tri... so i guess dats why my weight gain is still not alot? but i think eating as per normal helps. i dun eat big portion, i eat like wat i do pre-preg. in fact, i cut down my dinners alot. i eat less than half a bowl of rice. anyway, i will suffer if i eat alot at night too, cos i will hv heartburn. and i try not to snack in betw meals. if i do, it will be a couple of biscuits or a few pieces of choc...
cactus...
i see... i believe sleeping in aircon will tend to make u wanna go loo more often too... cos its cold...

Fennie,
I was 62kg pre-pregnancy.
mrswrx,
I am quite crazy over TVB drama series, hehe. But SCV show v late one, like a year later. You know the "Fei Tian Xi Shi" (with Myolie Wu), my hubby watched in HK end of 2006 and SCV only showed it sometime end of last year. So i will rent dvds to watch.

soyabean,
At least u said u only few kilos left over from 1st pregnancy, i had 10kgs leftover leh. After 1st pregnancy i had lot of health problem, then i dare not go on diet, as i had plan for #2.
fennie,
I'm in wk26 + 4days. Initially oredy gain about 4 kgs but last week i was sick for 3 days, no appetite so i think i lost weight again. So, back to total 2 kgs only and bb oso quite small at 746gm only. So in the next coming mths, i had to eat more to increase my as well as my bb weight.

Hi gals, thanks for all the advices. ive tok to my hb and he agree that we change before is too late. My agency is the one who always place advertisement and an actress endorse it lah.
I can change within 6 mths, but my hb say he will prefer to waste the thousand over dollar and go to another agency recommend by her cousin at Bukit Timah. Bcos the boss is a filippino also and she will scold the maid with their language.
So now on the discussion on whether to switch agency or stand put with the current one. bcos i find it a bit lugi to waste the thousand over dollar. But to my hb, he was telling me what if change liao still bad???? Then waste even more

BabyJo, I personally feel if the agency's service is good, you can still stay with them. But I know a colleauge who gave up the agency fees cos lost faith in the agency. actually some agencies share maid biodata so it's really luck. also, in most cases, maid start giving probs about 3 to 6 months after they join us.. cos they make friends, learn bad things, or just become homesick.... so it's really our luck...
maid issues are so sian to deal with hor? for me, my hb and i oso hvnt sorted out care-taking arrangements. my mum is currently taking care of my #1. but she sure wldnt be able to cope wif 2, cos my elder now goes to school and she is alone at home.
we didnt wanna consider maid cos of the various maid stories we hv heard. for some, its like having to deal wif one more baby. and oso we face housing probs like where to let the maid sleep etc. then we turn to my MIL and ask if she wan to help and take care, but she dun wan... cos she has a PT job which she loves and oso taking care of a baby FT means her freedom and time is very restricted.
so now we're back to square one. it reali looks like we hv no choice but to get a maid.

Crystal, it sounds like your MIL is quite good! Is there any reason you don't like your MIL to look after your bb? Are you afriad she can't cope? Your MIL sounds really good.... my SIL told my MIL to make sure her son wakes up at 7am...all my MIL does is to wake the boy up at 7am, then ask the maid to entertain him, and she'll go back to sleep. On some mornings, the maid and boy will watch tv in living room, on other mornings, the maid will watch tv and the boy will sleep on the living room sofa!

soyabean,
ya, i just eat to keep myself from feeling hungry, eat normally, no craving,i put on 20kgs for my #1, so trying not to put on so much
felicia,
my baby weigh about 850gm at week 25 i think,but baby weigh is just estimation based on the measurements your gynae can get by measuring the baby's stomach n head circumference, so it is just a rough guide

felicia,
hb told my MIL we be catering confinement food couple of mths back n he kenna told off by her liao, saying we too much $, etc. she doesnt know how to cook proper confinement food but insist on doing it anyway (saying she can always ask her SILs for help). tis is wat i call downright stubbornness.

Fennie,
Disposable underpad is to prevent ur menses from staining ur bed sheet. It comes in various sizes. Normally after delivery, we'll had some blood flow (cant remember wat is the name for it) for few days, some ppl might had heavy flow. So to prevent blood stain, we can use the underpad. Hospital use it too.

If ur MIL really cannot cook proper confinement food, better source oth alternative.
For my case, my MIL at least she told me she dont really know how to cooked confinement food as her MIL last time only cooked same food for her everyday. But as my MIL was been called to help at last mins, due to my mom on ops, then i'l left with no choice. But i swear, i suffer from it. Due to the food, i lost my appetite and my BM was suddenly reduce tremendously and stop within the 1st 2 weeks. So i think to had successful BF, diet is very important oso. So, prepare urself with catering ctc nbr just in case.

hehe... though my 1st pregnancy is 2yrs plus but i cant remember exactly how many days the flow oso. But if i remember correctly, i din finish my one pack of Madame maternity pad, so its about 2-3days only. But i think it depend on individual as well. Anyhow, you can just use ur normal night use pad. I din buy any maternity pad for this round oso.
