Dear Catherine,
Thanks for the info on what to bring and what not!!! I kiasu, sure will pack some stuff, hubby carry, lol. But based on your advice, can bring less liao! Thanks!
Dear BBjourney,
You also saw Dr Loh on Fri? First time ever he is rather free hor? He took longer with me on Friday, lol.
Dear mc,
My CL already fully booked this year the whole year, sorry can't help! You have access to the motherhood doc i created? There is a list in there with some CLs' contacts. If u want, do PM me and I grant you access
If u engage nanny plus maid, very expensive le! Moreover maid cannot work at 2 houses unless work related to baby only. My maid is from Homekeeper at Hougang branch, my agent is called Vivian. I visited 6 agencies, the maids i shortlisted are all from Homekeeper so I went with them. As for CL, if you not going through agent and they are popular, you probably need to pay a deposit before even having the chance to interview them.
Dear miracle,
I also hope I can buy everything during motherhood fair!!! Gonna compile my shopping list this week.
Dear JT,
Has your spotting stopped? Did you bed rest? Take care ya? As for package, they won't encourage you to sign one. If you wanna sign up too early, they say not stable yet. If you sign up too late, they say not worth it. Mine is rather high risk and need to visit every 2 weeks, thus the receptionist relented when Dr loh said ok. He even joked that for me, can finish 2 packages as i so gan jiong, lol.
Dear blur_xuan,
I also have the tail bone pain. Try to lie sideways more (left is better for baby). Support your back with pillow, don't sit or stand for too long!
Dear Hazel,
Thanks for your advice on FM, i'd get Enfalac to standby!!! As for Philips sale, I nearly missed it cos went to meet my CL today to get a list of herbs for me to buy 1 week before delivery. Then rushed down and reached at 545pm, luckily still open and the crowd has more or less dispersed. Bought the steamer + blender set at $179!
Dear Joanne,
My maid still full marks so far, can't find a single fault with her. She seems to not be able to tolerate dirty or messy, lol. Planned for ironing to be done on Sat but on Friday she requested to iron cos the clothes that are not ironed yet are hanging in the living room and she cannot tahan. lol. I asked her to sit down on a chair when ironing or she can also watch tv but she doesn't want.
Today went marketing with my mum and cooked, automatically recorded down everything. I asked her to help cut apples for me, she cut super nicely and arrange nicely on plate and bring to me on a tray. I like to drink Milo and she will prepare a small jug of it for me in the fridge so my brother and I can drink anytime, always replenished. All the water bottles, boiler, flasks are always full of boiled water, no empty ones. She can always find things to do. Some things I intended to ask her do but I realise she do liao. Even some small dusty areas of my toilet doors are cleaned.
Most importantly, she establishes a good relationship with my mum and my Sasha. She takes good care of Sasha. I'm very pleased and feel happier with her help
So far 4 days, hoping this will last!!! I never install CCTV, will try to always have someone with her, though there were hours she was alone at home (bedroom doors locked). Mine is Filipino by the way, previously 6 years at Saudi Arabia.
Dear Joanne & gals,
My appt with Dr Loh went well. Baby head no longer down (was down the whole 2nd trimester), head shifted to my left so baby is horizontal now. About 1.6plus kg at 29 weeks, which is bigger than average, EDD from 15th aug, it says 4th aug. Dr Loh says probably c-sect and I asked about when and he said 38 weeks if baby can stay till then. So I guess I'd deliver end July. He told me not to go back to work, he really wants me to deliver this baby successfully and told me to see him if baby's movements are less.
Re: TMC Hospital Tour
I missed it last Friday and wanted to make another appt but the lady at the counter was so nice to show us around, VIP tour just for me and hubby cos most room types available for viewing and she was free then! I think my first choice will be the basic single bedder $480 per night, 2nd choice premium single bedder at $580 per night, 3rd choice double bedder at $250 per night. Cos the next level up for single bedder is $988 after the $580 one wor! You gals went/ going for which room huh?
Re: Dr Loh
I recall reading one gal saying Dr Loh is no longer taking new patients. I clarified with the receptionists and they said NOT TRUE and asked me to clarify here. So pls don't be mistaken ya? He is STILL taking new patients
