BBKay, my hubby wanted to help me massage leg when the nurses asked him to but i told him to get away from me!!! i super hate massages! but managed to still do it without epi
BBKay3105: my husband was opp leh! He wanted and was the one who suggest we shld join such class. We signed up for Mrs. Wong's class for #1 and we both feel that we benefit from it. Especially during labour, my husband helps control my breathing and knows when to give and remove the "laughing gas".
Ming - Thks on ur take abt banyan vs angsana . Is langkawi worth d flight to take , vs bintan ? Hubby is worried abt d air pressure from d flight ..
On prenatal classes - Hubby n I discussed and agreed we will benefit from it since we are first time parents . I feel it's gd to hv a honest conversation abt how both of us can prepare n overcome our anxiety. Hubby is attentive in class so far

Hi mummies,
Re: Babymoon. I just came back from Genting Malaysia wif hubby and my 3 boys tonight. Now feeling so hot after enjoying the cool weather for the past few days. I think it's good to go for a short trip b4 delivery cos can oso bring us and hubby closer together, rather than always focus on work and pregnancy only. Oso good to spend some time "playing" wif our older kids, b4 the little baby arrives, to let them know they're impt to us too.
When I was preggy wif #3, we flew to HK and Taipei for a Babymoon with our 2 older boys too. But this time round, we only went to Genting to save money

SnU>> I think it's not tat he's nt serious, but coz he feel got his aunt to give us pointers on handling baby as she has 2 grandchildren, and also he been asking his frenz who are dads. =) Info from internet, more like I find and he read only. Haha...
BBKay>> Wah, yr birth experience seems so fast! Way to go!
skinneybeenie, Baby>> Pei fu those mums who gave birth without epidural! I dun even dare think so far yet.. =p
serenelm>> Welcome back! And thanx for yr help. =) I miss the weather in Genting... Will be so shiok to be there now.

Btil: I don't know how you fare on ships but I found that the Bintan ferry made me feel sick (waters were pretty rough when I went last year and I wasn't even pregnant then!) So I definitely prefer to fly. The flight to Langkawi is pretty short as well (1.5 hours) so should be alright. Silkair allows pregnant women to fly till 35 weeks with doctors' certification.
SNU: I have dropped you an email. Sorry for the delay. Agree with your views about how daddies need to be involved as well. My hubby read the "What to expect when you are expecting" book when we had no. 1. Daddies can also sign up for the baby centre weekly newsletters for more useful information.
Confinement food: I have heard good things about Natal Essentials but no personal experience with them.

Btil> some mummies in my #1 thread shared with me that Banyan Tree Bintan is quite old, and should consider Banyan Tree Bali instead. Initially I was considering Bintan Club Med/Banyan Tree then finally decided to go Bali.
Thanks Baby Jo. Most ppl recommend Natal Essentials as I also polled the audience from Mar - Jun threads, esp those who have popped recently.
I ordered ConfinementFood.com last yr for my #1. The portion can feed a family of 4 i think. lol... they sometimes come at 10am for lunch and 5pm for dinner. Not consistent with delivery times.
Also thinking if I should get day-care CL just to cook.

hi Ming,
thanks, i got your email,
really appreciate.
(more invoices = less reason for wife to spend to reach $350 to become member)
Hi may,
no hard feelings....
i shouldn't be making judegement about the seriousness. I am sure your hubby has the best interest for every1.
(although i heard my fair share of non-performing hubby from my close friends)
so looking forward to the Wong BB class.
on 17th, which i believe JIA also sign up for the same session.
my greatest fear is to carry my precious soft-like-jelly-being.

Serene: ask u ar. when u preg with #2, did your #1 behaviour changed? My girl suddenly seems to be so clingy to me. She is so so cranky since last week. I was so scare that i tot i may due soon maybe her sudden behaviour change? They always said that children have such 'feeling' when ure closer to labour? Sigh.. luckily my cervix still closed when i went for scan last night.
<font color="0000ff">SnU:</font> <font color="aa00aa">I knw my hubby he has the best interest for every1. Just tt I just hope tt he will be more auto to do stuffs somex.. And need not make me always ask n ask before he move his butt.. I asked when he wana take the course for many x too.. Choosing of names too.. Just feel sianz lo.. </font>
Thanks mummies, for ur welcome back
Amy: You're welcome
Sharon: Yes, I find that my #3 has been more clingy too, keep asking to be carried. Luckily he's now more amenable to his daddy carrying him. Previously he only preferred me to carry him. The same oso happened during my previous pregnancies. Guess they can tell something's abt to change and they're insecure. So we just hv to be more patient wif them
May: Some daddies are more proactive while others are more "reactive" (I.e. one command, one action type). But anyway, better to "train" our hubbies to help out when babies arrive (no matter how clumsy or inexperienced they may be). I've seen some of my friends handling every single little thing concerning their baby simply cos the hubby kept saying he got no confidence to handle fragile infant. End up the baby wasn't as close to the daddy and the daddy oso became more hands-off as time went by. It's oso very tiring for the mummy to do everything by herself, esp if she's a FTWM. But of course, we do it subtly, as in requesting him nicely to help and praising him when he does things for us, so that he doesn't feel as if he's being ordered abt, heehee
Thanks for the info abt the Baby Expo too, I'll probably pop by if I've time

May, dun worry.. guys tend not to be auto during preg. but not auto during preg doesnt mean not auto after baby arrives. i cant find much fault with my hubby's involvement with #1, except when they play too much, sometimes he can forget to give him water or feed him (since my #1 is not a glutton). but chg diapers and wake up to check on him when he was sick, he was very auto.
he also is in charge of cooking for us and cleaning up #1 in weekend when i am almost 100% hands off (but i tend to be the one to feed him when we're home. when we're out, hubby will feed him). basically can do everything i do with/for #1 except breastfeeding him and keeping to the clock for routine haha... even if he become sahd, i am sure #1 is in very good hands.

my confinement kinda settled! hubby can get leave for 2 weeks, then on off will be on more flexi work arrangement for a while. hope it doesnt chg. i think its gd he handles #1 tog w me when i am on confinement as they are quite close too. then #1 wun feel rejected.
my #1 din really become more clingy during preg tho. still the same, indept self since startign sch this yr. seldom wants to be carried unless he is totally exhausted.

May, Don't worry. Both my hb and I never carry newborn before and we don't like (infact never once) to carry others' babies cause we are fearful of 'injuring' them when they are soft. But when it come to our own, its like natural instinct, we want to carry them. And at the hospital, the nurse will wrap our babies nicely before passing over to us. I remember that time during my #1, my hb also just carried my girl instantly like that.
<font color="aa00aa">Thanks everyone.. Think my hubby will hv hands on la.. Think at nite abit difficult.. Cos thunder storm my hubby oso wnt wake up.. Dun need say bb cry.. lol.. I rem got once in my 1st trim.. I can't slp.. I poke him to wake him up as the next day not a work day.. He wake up hold my hand put aside n con't to slp lo.. Next morning I ask him abt it he can't rem at all.. Haha</font>
Stretchmarks Cream/Lotion
****
What are your using to prevent stretchmarks?
For #1, I am using Mothercare but no used leh! Still have.
For #2, tried Palmer's, bad rash and itch. Happened for #1 too. So now I switch to Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil, still can see the marks.
Anyone has better recommendation?
Anyone using Bio Oil or Clarins Stretch Mark Control?

May: Just sign your hubby up for the class with you - the class will be full of husbands attending with their wives so he definitely will not feel like the odd one out or something like that.
