<font color="0000ff">Purebliss,
My DH gave me a list of scenarios, he said if I really insist on natural then by all means he will support the decision. But then he said the final decision still lies with my gynae to give the green light and advice. He said after all he's a professional and he will be able to give the best advice to me hahahaha..so see how my bb decides for his mommy ^_^
Trace,
I oso cannot save him muhahahah *evil me*
Diane,

hi mommies, thanks for the support. i also think it's hormonal and i've been having the weirdest dreams lately. finally slept at 4 this morning, going back to class soon, cannot wait for maternity leave to start. 5 week countdown.
pinkimum, i'ld be going for the 4d scan at TMC this thursday. I'ld let you know the charges? According to my gynae, it depends on luck. If bb is covering herself then cannot see face, they'ld charge you a 2d/3d scan rate. If everything goes smoothly, you get the dvd to bring home.
will confirm with you again on Thursday night..

Hi Mummies,
I wish to ask those who are not getting a CL and don't have a maid. How are you planning to cope? I am not getting a CL and only have a PT-maid.
My MIL says she will help, but she is already in her 70s. Dunno what I can expect her to help with except cooking.
My friends who just gave birth are telling me that having a CL is so much relief and they dunno how they would have coped without one. They keep advising me to get one, but my in laws are saying no need cos they will help.
I am not sure how I can expect them to help me with the night feeds, all the dirty laundry, the boiling of water/herbs for washing up, cleaning baby etc.. I am not very close to my in laws so I do not know how to voice up nor to ask for help if I need to.
Please advise.
Thanks!

hi lili,
we r thinking of asking my reverend to help with the chinese name (he is pastor in charge of chinese and cantonese service). We will let him know our baby's Christian name (biblical name) and the passage which gives us inspiration to have the name.

Hi Trace,
Yah.. that's what I think too. I've tried to hint to them. And also told my hubby to tell them. But she has insisted that it is not necessary. And say that there's no room for CL to sleep. Although I think hubby can sleep outside, she obviously doesn't think so. Am also afraid to offend her since they've offered their assistance. My SIL says she'll help too. But how to wake them up at 4am and say help me feed? Stupid right?
I think they think since I have 2 months off, I am very free and since I don't have to work? Also, hubby's sister coped without a CL. But that was 14 yrs ago!! They were so much younger! haii...
I don't think they're being picky or stingy cos they're generous and helpful people and genuinely wish to help. But I just dunno if they remember or know how much hard work it is going to be.

Trace, my breasts also suddenly start to itch vy badly a few weeks ago till now, I keep applying the clarin oil. It's better but will still itch after awhile
Think my problem is bcoz of my ill-fitting old bras, have since change to wearing my maternity tube bras & it's better.

Don't worry, some babies turn later. Heard that for non-1st time mommies, their babies might even turn just during the last week. For 1st time mommies, it's usually earlier
No worries!!! Baby will turn!

Hi All,
Its been ages since I joined in your discussions. Trying hard to catch up on the numerous posts now. Glad to know that everyone is doing well.
Need to check with Mommies out there who have done the glucose test. Do we get to eat during the 2 hour interval after drinking the liquid? Nervous about taking the test cos my morning sickness is back. Afraid of the discomfort of feeling sick.

Hi Dumbo, during my 1st pregnancy, I dun have a maid or CL to help me. All I have is my hubby who is on leave on and off for the first mth to help me. During day time, not so bad still manageable. When bb sleeping, I will sleep also. Only night time is very shack... when we have capture the bb drinking pattern, we will wake up at 5 mins before time to warm up the milk and feed. Only the first 2 or 3 weeks is very tedious... cos every 2hr to 2.5hr got to feed. Best is still have helper, maybe u get a daytime CL to help u. Until now I regretted never get a day time CL to help.

Ur baby very good weight too!
Mummies, where can i get those giant playpen???
