cherryale actually the 1st maid was ok... we were quite worried when we didn't get any news from her after she went back. If she had contacted us earlier i think my mom would have hired her again. It's just that by the time she contacted us again, we were already coping well w/out maids for so long that it's not worth spending the money.
babystarlet is there such a thing as painless natural delivery? Sounds quite impossible to me. I've heard of hypnotherapy classes where they teach u to focus on labouring and supposedly to help u feel less pain. Haven't found enuff info on it so dunno if i'll take up the class.
mercs hear u all talk abt ur dogs make me want one too! Had a few dogs before, last one was the longest w us - 13 yrs but he died 3 yrs ago. B4 preggy, my HB din want to get a dog cuz he's scared that i will love the dog so much that i wouldn't want kids!! So now i've been bugging him that i've "fulfilled" my responsibility already so time to get dog. It's just that we are not sure how long we will stay in SG, dun want to have to face the possibility of having to give it away or to put it in 1-2 months quarantine in another country.
ni yeah agree kids and dogs can live tog but also depends on the dog's character.. i myself grew up with my grandma's dog from 2 or 3 months old. He used to wait beside my crib when i napped in the afternoons and if i wake up, he'll go to the kitchen to get my grandma by pulling on her pants.. but later on he died and they got a new dog who was very naughty and territorial.. fight w me for my grandma's attention, can u imagine??!!
samval if ur gals like dogs but hubby dun want to keep, maybe u could bring them to the animal shelters (SPCA or ASD) to play with the dogs there. Most of them are very tame and love to be sayang... that way u can get the best of both worlds, kids get to interact with dogs, n u dun have the burden of maintaining a dog. Having a dog is nice but also can be costly, have to pay for food, shampoo, toys, vet, grooming, etc..

de_luxe: ya lor...dogs accompany me and give me happiness at times so i wont give them away. i believe my 2 dogs are quite ok. the other so old liao ma, not so active, the younger one very timid, shout at him only he will hide...so i believe they can get used to a baby. just need to train lor. i will do that, double effort.
ange: me me!! i rub my tummy at times, talking to the baby at times.
cjteng: to me got smell la...that is why i seldom take papaya. but take already sure 100% will put put

I had GA for both as both were emergency c-section. #1 because gynae says my pelvic bone did not expand for baby to pass through. I had developed fever and baby's heartbeat became irregular. So did not want to prolong labour any longer and wheeled in for emergency c-section. #2 because baby arrived 8 days before the scheduled op.. which was already supposed to be 2 weeks before ETD! I wanted badly to have a Epidural c-section... but with 2 GA, I'm not sure if I dare try for epidural... cos heard from a colleague quite a nerve-wrecking experience. But main reason would be because hubby get to witness the birth.

Hi MTBs,
been busy at work today. don't think can come in during office hours these days.
I made kiwi blend + 1 cup of yogurt. Went toilet 3 times today but wife had no feeling to go toilet. gosh. I think i'll have to try blended strawberries tomorrow.
just fyi, it's great to be able to chat on msn but do be wary of spam bots on the internet that's sniffing around for email addresses.
Have a good evening!

I highly, highly recommend getting your babies to grow up with animals if possible. My son grew up with my dog since birth and right now he has absolutly NO fear whatsoever of dogs and hamsters.
It doesn't matter what size the dog is, if the dog towers over him, is barking, etc, he will be quite happy to run to the dog and pat/kiss it on the head. Most of the time, it is the owners of the dogs who cringe at the sight of my crazy son running towards their pets, lol. Downside is that I don't know whether the dog will bite him, but so far so good. I sometimes wish he would not be so friendly to other people's dogs because I don't know if they have been vaccinated or not.
But overall, I think it's a good experience for children to grow up with animals!

2boys_mum,
Are you intending to bf long term or short term?
If long term, I would say get Medela's PIS if you can afford it. It's the only I would recommend for sustaining your supply in the long term. I used the PIS Advanced with my son and breastfed for 13 months and the motor is still as good as new. Now that you mentioned it, I think I need to bring out from storage to prepare it for No. 2 already.
If you plan to do it only for a short while, then any old pump will do, manual also can. But do note that a lousy pump will affect your supply somewhat.

Morning All,
Visited my gynae yesterday, baby was 4 months! During scanning, managed to see that little "thing" sticking out between baby's legs, so most probably, I'll be having a baby boy
But doc say to wait till 5th month detailed scan to re-confirm gender.
But I had a scare on tuesday night,felt sharp sharp pain in my tummy and I was bleeding a little. I was so so worried, I was crying. Visited doc yesterday morning and thankfully, baby is fine. *phew* Guess baby wanted to see us earlier and announce he's gender..haha..was suppose to visit my gynae only this saturday. Now I am on hormones pills, 3 times a day for a month. Doc say may cause MS..so MS days are not yet over for me yet..sobz..
Hi Racheal, please help me update my details.
FTWM, boy.
Samval, yes, I do feel itchy and skin very very tight, especially after a meal. My tailbone also very pain if I sit too long, experiencing back-ache too...hand gets numb so easily too..sobz..
These are the "Joy of pregancy"..haha
Anyone know Mt Alvernia Hospital tour timings? Do they have tours on weekends? Wana compare MAH and TMC. Cus yesterday I went to TMC hospital tour yesterday, didnt quite like the observation room and delivery room. But the wards are ok.
