Hi to all the mummies here
I am new to this group. I am currently in my week 16 of pregnancy and will be going for my week 16 scan this Friday. I am expecting my 3rd baby this round and EDD is around Christmas, though I believe baby would come out earlier by about 2 weeks.
I have 2 girls aged 4 and 2 respectively. They adore the unborn and would give daily hugs and kisses when they wake or at bedtime. I also encourage them to talk to the baby.
Unlike my previous pregnancies, I decided to have a gender-reveal baby shower at the end of August. So, during my week 20 detailed scan, I will ask the doctor to tell the gender of the baby to my Sister-in-law, who is tasked to help me plan the shower. She will reveal the gender of the baby to the invited guests and to my husband and I.
This is one of the ways I am making this pregnancy more enjoyable, since it may well be the last baby I'm going to have. Other plans include maternity PS and maybe a babymoon, which I do not have during my previous 2 pregnancies.
I am also a strong advocate for breastfeeding. I nursed both my older girls until past 12 months. I weaned my 4-year old at about 13.5 months and my 2-year old at about 25 months. I have saved quite a bit on milk formula and medical fees for the kids.
I am not working now cos I happened to have quit my job 2 weeks before I found out I was pregnant. The same happened to me when I was expecting my 2nd girl. As for my first pregnancy, I left my job mid-way through the pregnancy cos of things happening in the office that made it impossible for me to stay on. So I do not have maternity packages for all my 3 babies, which I do not mind. It just meant that I do not need to rush back to work after 4 months.
I have shared quite a bit. Looking forward to have from all of you!
