Esk, I agree with Singapoh that you may want to leave the training to your mum lar. My frens were advising me to bring in earlier coz they think I sure won't have time to train after delivery esp I'm a 1st time mum...everything should be quite chaotic (but a happy problem..8P). Furthermore, my MIL is doing the confinement for me, meaning during that mth, she will be super busy taking care of me and the baby, so won't have time for the house....the maid will come in handy to help with the housework and taking care of my dog for that period.....
