LL, I'm taking the July class on weekdays. Starting 1st wk of jul...
May, Yeah! I hope you are right. Think I will check it out during my next visit. We went for the Mt A pre-natal classes previously. The 1st lesson on diet/nutrition is quite boring. Hee.. not sure if the program is still the same. But I think its a good time for the couple to bond during the lesson. And for hb to 'bond' with bb or prepare himself for bb arrival.
Esther, Your hb is sooo sweet. You should go for it. Couple time is so precious. Now that we got #1 and we haven't travel since her birth cause it really drags me to think of the stuff that we need to bring along if we bring her.
Mini22, Are you referring to dang gui? Its a big no-no during pregnancy. And for confinement, some mummies will avoid it too as it will affect milk supply.

Esther, your hub so nice! When i said i wana go for babymoon, he said cannot fly, scared pressure no good for baby. I can only go Roadtrip or Cruise. If go Cruise i scared sea-sick easily...
I'm doing prenatal class with wong boi boi in July. Anywone attending her class?
My clinic asked me to book room liao, but i have yet to visit the room. You ladies went for the room tour already? (TMC)

Esther: Definitely go for the babymoon! Good to spend more time together before baby arrives. It is truly life-changing (but in a good way I feel).
Booking of rooms at TMC: They have daily hospital tours so I think the most convenient way is to book a slot just before you visit the gynae and then you can join the tour after the clinic visit.

We actually planned for 2 baby moons, one at start of T2 to taipei (which we went Liao n enjoyed v much, I climbed the rocky hills at Chiu fen n insisted to do star jump for pic at CKS memorial much to his frustration) n another one at end of T2 using my miles to redeem 2 return tkts to hk, then after starting prep on baby essentials, don't really feel like gg 2nd baby moon cos wana save the money for e big tkt items like cot, stroller etc, n there's wrk. But now i feel regret after hearing what u guys are saying abt precious time n I feel sorry rejecting hb, last week he suggested if i don't wana spend so much, we can go KL nearer n cheaper but I still said no.

The rates that I mentioned is per night. Hardly we can understand how they charge the rates in the TMC website la. Just get admit, give birth, and pay accordingly. Wahahahaha....
Wow... Babymooning. I don't dare to go for trips liao. I remember the last time I went for babymooning before I almost pop.... the swelling on the feet. Aiyooo....

Btil, i think there are more likely to be medical personnel traveling on plane in case u need help than by boat? dunno...is that why the cruise limit is lower than airlines?
when i was in langkawi, actually took one quite rough boatride during island hopping.. so scared it was gonna capsize! and on the islands, hubby and #1 almost kenna attacked by monkey (they were behind me) cuz they wanted to steal #1's water bottle. what an adventure!

Re cruise: because it takes a long time to travel by sea to nearest port but if compared to airplane, it might just take a
Matter of hours to reach an airport. Some babies can survive at 24 weeks with the help of a nicu unit. Anyway to go on cruise prior to 24 weeks need letter from doc to certify that preg is safe to go for cruise

Pre-natal course: I think the most useful aspects of the course was the ability to practice the breastfeeding positions and to practice carrying the "baby". Good for a clueless first time mum that I was.
Langkawi: Skinnybeanie, we are headed there for a couple of days in July without no. 1
Looking forward to spending some couple time together. Which resort did you book? We are staying at the Datai 'cos we stayed in and liked their sister property in Vietnam.
Btil: Not much difference between Angsana and Banyan Tree except that Banyan Tree has better restaurants. Plus I think Banyan Tree only has villas so the cost is higher. Our last trip we stayed at Angsana and ate at the Banyan tree (they have buggies to take you there so it will not be a problem).

Esther> Yes do go for babymoon! My last real holiday was for Honeymoon then after that pregnant no more holidays liao. As when you have a baby and want to bring baby along for holiday can be quite challenging and alot of things to bring. Thus, I mange to convince my hubby for a babymoon for #2 this time yeah! Else, think I cant travel within 2 years again..

Hi summer,
My course still not yet confirm (hoping to get the weekend class as hubby cannot off work early on weekday). If really no more slot for weekend, will be weekday then can see u at the class.
U claim the free cooler bag for the ladies card? Can the cooler bag be used to keep breastmilk?

Wow... so many talking about Babymoon. I would also love to go for one, but base on last experience really scared. Maybe Staycation.
But most probably, will go for a short trip with hubby to Genting as the temple there sells a very good Ginger wine. The ginger wine can be used to cook confinement food or just take it directly. And it's cheap! Maybe you ladies might wanna consider it.

My hubby is for the class.. maybe cause i'm preggy and he felt he should give in to me.. but on the other hand, i think he just wanted to be as prepared for our first kid.. i think if we ever going to have a 2nd one.. he will not go for it again haha..
bbkay, Same here. I also don't remember those breathing technique. And Im worse, I cant recall how to do it once I step out of the class.
Elizabeth, These classes are usually for 1st time mummies. For 2nd one, I think you also don't want to go, cause already learn from experience during #1.
