i didn't want to get CL also but i scare my hubby fly me aeroplane leh.
at first he say he do night shift and i do day shift but i think it will be too taxing on him. I don't want him to be so tired and cannot concentrate on the road and work. Later he will find the baby experience not good.

JC - at first I also dun want to get CL cos not used to having stranger at home, but later decided that we need help especially as first time parents + recovery time from childbirth.
So the confinement herbs about $300 in medical halls ar? Some people told me about 1k+... if 300 still manageable.

Re: CL
I actually have a sofa bed in the baby room nw...but coz when it opens up, its almost the size of a queen sized bed (but smaller) so i am not keen to let CL use the sofa bed as it takes up space. is it v.bad to get a single sized mattress for the CL to sleep on instead?

Thanks! Good luck to you too
I also didn't have my own place for my #1. Just stayed with my mom.

It's like menstrual cramps....that comes and goes... it gets more intense later on. No pain no gain....hehehe..without the contractions pain you can't give birth. So I just try to view as the pain as helping us to get closer to delivering the baby.

coz my first birth was like a mess, supposed to natural then last minute c-sec. i did experience the very sharp and aching pain, simply cant describe kind of pain rite? not sure whether that is contraction? 2nd one will the contraction come much much earlier? i m confirmed going for c-sec liao. edd is 18 may, so gynae say likely schedule 1-2 weeks b4 due date. so was worried wat if contractions come earlier than the date?

pinktulip, did you stay Parkway East hospital for your #1? Did you choose single bedder or double bedder?
Xuan, you're looking for a PD ah? If you're delivering at Mount A, you can ask Dr Poon to book Dr Simon Ng for your child's PD. My PD for #1 was Simon Ng. He's quite good. And his clinic at Mount A. Whenever i go to see him, the queue is reasonable and he is professional also. I know of famous PDs like Terence Tan, long queue like anything.

Babymaine: hope you feeling better now.. do have more rest ok!!
hmm, after week 30, anything can happen right? like early contractions and false alarms? my fil is asking my hubbie acc him for holiday end of this month.. i will be at 33 weeks.. i told him my concerns and i need him around.. but he's like saying: 33 weeks only, nothing will happen wan lah.. -_-"""
agree with most of us here.. 3rd tri is bad man.. my heart is racing so fast after i go up a small flight of stairs.. nausea is back.. and sometimes some pain on tummy.. not sure if its contractions or something.. just don't feel comfortable..
hmm, if we deliver naturally, is it 100% will have sewing down there? i really cannot imagine so pain already still must endure an injection and stitches. i might faint at that point man.. haha..

tsm:
attended Wong Boi Boi class last sat.. Dont worry about the birth video... Was kinda grossed out by it... Hubbs and my face cringed when they showed that part in detail...
SCGS class: Wong Boi Boi said that there will be 700 participants there today and they will be giving out some package or something (comprising towel, etc). If you are driving and heading down, it is advised that you reach there early (at about 7pm?) to secure a parking lot. She mentioned that she will start on the dot and will not wait for anyone.

fool4love - my fren told me PD Chan Kit Yee at Mt A not v.good lehs... her #1 pd was Dr Chan and apparently a jab wasnt done properly causing her lil gal to have lymph node and need to go for op. my fren recommended Dr Terence Tan or Dr Lee in Kinder Clinic. i think i will leave it to my gynae to recommend a PD. haha
Rach - i think if your hb can, just stay back in SG with you better...just in case. you will also feel more assured i think.

rach: so far all my friends their gynae will sew for them. but don't need to worry. if you on epi, you won't feel the pain. if you are not, the gynae will also inject some anesthetic before doing the stitching.
tsm: for your own bed, you can get those disposable mattress protector from places like guardian, watson, unity, kiddy palace. it's a blue colour sheet. in hospital they also use the same.
just went maid agency to select the maid. will be coming in about 6 weeks. hopefully we get a good one. pray pray!

Sleepyskies:
Thanks for the heads-up.
My gynae was suggesting Dr Simon. They say Terence Tan is good but long waiting list / not cheap...
Probably will revert back to Dr Simon Ng. I can claim under Dr Chan. That's why i'm asking...
TSM: Ya. going tonight... seems like a lot of mummues are going! think it'll be packed...

Irene: i think i saw the disposable mattress protector b4 at unity but tat time nt sure is for wat purpose, shld go to check check again.
JC: haha good idea! but i dun hv used cloth, and oso thinking if wan use used cloth then the cloth must b big enough to cover the mattress...
fool4love: I better go the class tonite, nowadays lazy to go out with big tummy so must 速战速决le.
Btw, i still confusing which bus stop to alight, coz if i alight opposite SCGS then I dunno is there a bridge to cross over the road?

Xuan: the seller just replied me! she said she went into delivery thats why so late then reply me. haha. I will be transfering the $ to her then she will update the thread. Hopefully she can place order soon!
i went to EYS and Fu Hua yesterday to ask about the confinement package. EYS like not very helpful. They have this package which start from 200+, 300+ and 1000+. Than the lady tell me, 200+ is per day serving.
i was like 'huh'. I ask like this i must buy 30 sets ah..which is $6K leh! She say 'of course, how can the 'yang shen tang or yang hua tang' drink only once. Of course must everyday drink lah. i saw the breakdown is like 1 pkt of soup, 18 packet of something, etc etc..is for 1 month supply loh..kaoz
Fu Hua have those ready to pack for soup which is around $10 per box. So i think add up also around $400-500 including the dates, longan and etc. He tell me depending on my budget lah...got cheap do, got expensive do.
any place in the west i can get affordable one?
