hello mummies,
wow the thread moves really fast!
piggy, good thing u managed to convince, then u can rest over the long weekend. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] also i agree with the other mummies, dun travel to JB for your confinement. this is the period to really take care of your body and to get it back to healthy status, so it's not good to go here go there during that time. mental health also very impt so if u already think u cannot take it, then better don't go.
stefie & lena, actually i pre-empt my MIL before she even thot of my confinement plans. i told her oh, my mum will do for me. and i gave valid reasons like because MIL is working, can't expect her to take leave or quit job, and how a CL won't work 'cos no space in our house for her to stay and our dogs won't accept also.
i think if we can give valid reasons for our plans, PIL also cannot say too much. eventually WE are the ones going thru the confinement so the comfort should be for us, not them. Lena, since your mum is not working, u can use that as a reason. also can say your mum already researched and knows what food to cook etc. sometimes have to tell a bit of white lie so as to get our way - it won't harm anyone and it's to you and baby's benefit also.
i've been feeling really tired this week, i dunno why. it's the start of the "honeymoon" 2nd trimester but i'm feeling more tired than the first!
