Hi chrisbaby
Yes, i agree with u but am more worry since Doc Loh say want me to be gd gal n rest more on apr n may as he worries preterm labour since having twins.. He say can relax more fr June onwards but i think by then i am too heavy to move le.. Hence, if i want attend, got to do it early else no choice but to learn fr my CL..
last time when hv my boy, i oso didnt attend such class, all learn fr CL.. As u gals sound like the class is so interesting so i want to pickup n refresh my memory too...no choice then..
Btw, hows ur first day take care of bb urself? Am sure u can do it since all mummies also hv first time n they all manage to do it..
Anyone going to baby care festival on coming weekend? Wonder is it worth to go?? I prefer motherhood but only hv it on end May..

Hi tanny_angelbaby,
Swimming is recommended during pregnancy to ease joint pains and is low-impact exercise. Exercises recommended for preggy are strolling, prenatal yoga, swimming and aqua aerobics. To engage in exercises, got to gain clearance from gynae that is there is no spotting, bleeding etc.
I signed up with KK for my aqua aerobics when i was in my 4th mth and prenatal yoga with hotdog at big splash during my 5mth-7mth.

Hi Joanne,
My wound recovered during the 7th day, gynae checked on me and said wound fully healed. For lunch, my in-law might cook and tabao over cos they are coming over to my sil's place just a street opp mine to see their granddaughter (3mths old) too. If not, then i might either cook simple meals or order tingkat. At night, hb will just buy back dinner. I try not to use 摇篮 until she's at least 1-2mths old as not good for her spine or unless really necessary hahahaaa. I'll let bb sleep on my bed so tat i can catch a nap and look after her which is easier rather for me to run over to her bb's room. My bedroom dun have space for her bb cot so me and hb now trying to plan how to take care of her nite feeding. We might get a smaller crib or use the portable lucky baby high chair which can be converted to a "day bed" and let her sleep with us in the room for the time being. Or hb suggested tat he'll sleep with bb in bb's room cos we had a bed there.

Chris, u can just apply now. So easy now with online application & apples app for taking photo.
I carried bbs since i was 12 yrs old when my younger sister was born. Then, there r still my niece n nephew. So, practice makes perfect. U will be able to carry belle in one arm n does things on the other arm v soon. I m using hands free breast pump. So, that makes it possible to carry her on one arm by the side with the milk bottles fixed infront of me too when I m pumping.
After CL leaves, I will push the bb cot into our room. I will drag the feeding to 6x a day at 4 hourly interval. Each feed has to give her more milk of course. At night, if she sleeps thru, I will let it be also.. First mth, CL has to wake her up though.
I m quite strict with her feeding timing.. Now is 3 hourly. But if on breast milk, feed by bottle, the earliest I give her milk is 45 mins earlier. Coz I know how much she drinks. She may cry for milk as early at 1 hrs plus after feed. I will soothe her with pacifier n carry her. it requires more efforts. But cannot keep giving bb milk, if not v easily to get indigestion from over feeding.

Chris, u still plan to pump after one mth right? If yes, pls limit your food taken from outside. If your hub is buying dinner every night, that's not v gd. No forget, wat u eat goes into the BM.. So u still need to continue with good & nuritious food, ESP fish. If not, your supply will be affected also.

Chris, u can always take steam fish. The night before, ask hub to season for u, with salt & ginger. Put in the chiller. Some fish like salmon, can be baked also.
Lunch, u can cook simple meals like fish, chicken/pork with mee hoon or noodles soup. Or steam, fish, chicken, prawns together, use boiling water to cook your noodle. Then stir the noodles & steamed ingredients together with XO sauce or veg oyster sauce. That makes your dry noodle with ingredents! Same, the ingredient all season the night before.
Cook some rice in morning. Hubby comes home, ask him to fry rice with ingredients, v fast one.
Give yourself a few days. U will be able to see a pattern on clariss. Some hours of the day, she will sleep longer. Use that time to do wat u need to do. I believe you can manage after CL leaves. Jia You!

Catherine, u just need to take HL/mc & go. Ignore all the calls. No one is indispensable. Trust me, the company will still function. Dun stress yourself out on this, is not worth it.
My department head n svp called me 2 days ago jointly (on speaker) & told me my bonus & increment Amt since I m on ml n cannot take the letter personally. My department head is a v nice guy n he bothers to call me n tell me instead of letting me see the money reflected in the bank account at mth end. My immediate reporting boss has no privy to the Amt I get. Only my HOD & svp know.

You are too responsible. Everyone in your co can see it. Just go for your maternity leave, focus on bb, dont think about work anymore. Your immediate boss dont care, hence why should you?
He will be responsible when you are not around. Pple will appreciate you more. When you are back, you may be sitting at his level, replacing him

Replace my boss? How to? He is a kaki of my big big boss. Now my boss v smart Siam a meeting when he has to take over when I m not around . He went to entertain overseas guest then I shout u dun attend the meeting then who do? My 2 junior staff heard it stare at me I juz say I dun care anymore. Then I tell my most junior staff I m up to the limit and big bos is aware
Catherine, mind if I ask if yr company a big MNC or ? Apparently, all these while, u quite stress up at work n looking at hw u piang for yr boss, do u consider worthwhile?
Like wat all other sisters haf adviced u prev, asking u dun chap, go ahead n take HL n put bb as yr priority, y u still so xin ku to go sweep yr boss's shit?
I mean no hard feeling cause I juz feel argh...abt yr boss. Sitting at high position, drawing high pay but expect u to go clear n shoulder whatever shit. Dun tink is worth. N since u said yr big big boss is aware of yr situation den y dun he step in n manage e situation?
Cath, really la. Hack care for e time being n conc on yr dearie. Yr boss n coy is nt worth to haf such responsive staff like u.

Hi catherine,
Just take HL/MC and go for your maternity leave. Its really not worth it, dun stress your health too much. Too much stress is not good for you and bb. BB can feel it too. Take a break now to rest cos when you on maternity at home, you might not have the time to really rest.

Bbliss, if u ask me now i would say not worth it. But if u ask me last yr I would say worth it cos my boss was v nice to me. Now she is promoted... Sigh.. My big boss can't step in. If she does, she will work 24 hrs. There r too many things on her plate. Oh ya till now I still have discharge. Will have to tell my gynae on sat.
Hazel, that's fast! U bringing her to collect her passport?
Chris, I agree with hazel on the food preparation. I always bake my salmon, cod fish with v little bit salt, pepper and lots of Ginger. I like veg a lot so 1 packet of veg at ntuc is sufficient for me too. I thought of ordering tingkat for dinner. I will c how. C if hb has time to buy food on weekend for me or I buy food myself. How's yr 'crash' course?

Oh u better not go on weekends to collect. Juz curious.. How did u take belle's photo? U carried her? Haha now yr hub worried Liao..... Dun worry la u can handle her.
I feel as a hub they need to b v supportive and help out even though they had a tiring day at work. I can't stand a hub who will sleep in and expect me to do all the work myself. I m not a mAid. The bb should have both fatherly N mother cAre....

Catherine, is all by appointments. We collected the other time our new passport on a Saturday too. V fast one with appointments. Within 15 mins can get.
The photo must be against a white background with no shadows. Belle always lie on a folded cloth diaper at her head as a pillow not v safe. so, I took when she was awake with eyes open & head was looking forward. This is a challenge as she always turn her head and when still, her head is always lying on the sides! Just hv to keep shifting her head & when position is right, quickly take. Took me quite a while coz I did alone.
Yes, hub shld help out. But remember we can still catch some sleep during the day when bb sleeps but hub cannot.. So, we hv to be understanding too.. Belle has a v bad habit. If she is not totally full she wun sleep!! Yeaterday 5-10 mins after feeding she puked a fair bit out. Tried to coax her to sleep she dun wan.. Until CL fed her some more milk then she is contented. Bb cries n fusses usually for a reason. Afterall, we will know her patterns.

Chrisl, not wind. If u can see her mouth u will know.. After feeding her more milk, she sleeps!
If bb got wind, hit stomach gently, can hear hollow sound... Ya, need to masssge to get rid of wind,, if Colic, tummy is hard..
Belle fart alot. N if she dun burp, she will puke milk out.. So must burp her no matter how long it may take..

Chris, golden ingot is better than those watery type clean until siao right? How's the full mth celebration yesterday?
Hazel I agree with u, there r so many worries and concerns.
I was v brave yesterday. I totally ignore my boss and he has to call me via phone to tell me he will made amendments to the procedure he mess up. I know he send to other ppl and talk to my big boss I juz ignore him. There was a big case yesterday in office I also dun tell him until someone tip him off then he ask me. I was on top of the case who bothers with him. He also can't write the report to tell mgt what happen .... Anyway, today is gynae visit! Dun hope to c my gal being obese but hope to c her telling us, "dr chua, daddy, mummy, I m ready to c the world" ... Should I bring my barang with me?? Still thinking.....After this week of stress at work and me being so emo and moody, I need gd news!!

Eve line, go in with an open heart. Dun b scare or worried. Talk to yr bb b4 hand. My gal showed is her cute little legs. I heard of ppl saying to drink apple juice b4 doing the scan. I din do it. I ate a gd breakfast made my gal happy and she was v v v cooperative. They will scan bb weight, all the organs etc.. Then tell u the gender if u dun know. U can request not to b told... Gd luck.
