Never heard before people using medicated oil to relieve pain during labour. I don't medicated oil is able to relieve labour pains too but you can try though.

Hi, seems like many people have problems on cutting baby's nails. I used to have 2 nannies who took care of my boy and they liked to cut his nail really short, very close into the flesh and make me so heart pain when I see it. Now his nails become very ugly. The right way to cut baby's nail...

Hi, on the 1st day of conception you are considered 2 weeks pregnant. Means if you are 30 weeks pregnant, you should minus 2 weeks = 28 weeks and count 28 weeks back to determine the date of conception. Hope this will give you a rough guide.

Hi, the forum post is dated June 2011. It's Nov2011 now so I think everything should be resolved by now. Thinking back, I think I was taking the Guardian Folic acid during that time. I think there's nothing to worry about, just some RDI problems from what I read from the article.

Hi, may I know what is the market rate for a confinement lady (not from agency) now?

Hi, I don't mind giving the baby up for adoption but do I need to get approval from my husband? What kind procedures should I go through?

Dear all, I'm going through a very tough time right now. I'm trying to be strong and kept telling myself that abortion is the best solution for me in order to get my divorce started. However, I feel sorry for the little one growing inside me, thinking that I had to end its life just like that...

Hi, it really hurts me to terminate this pregnancy at such a late stage but I really have no other alternative if I were to leave this marriage. I can't possibly get a job if I'm pregnant and I desperately need a job once I move out to support myself and my boy so I'm really sorry to say that I...

Yes, I intend to approach mcys if I couldn't find a foster family, but the problem is mcys has long processing time and I need it quite urgently. I hope to get things done asap as I really can't stand living with him for even 1 more day. I will approach mcys on monday but in the meantime, would...

Hi, my family is out of the question as I do not have a supportive family. They will never agree to help me even if I asked. Childcare is also out of the question as I do not have a job and will not be eligible for the subsidized rate. I do not have any savings or finances to engage a nanny now...

Hi, I'm currently pregnant and planning to divorce my husband. I have a 2 yr old son and I am a stay home mum, not working, no income. Husband's job is on and off, he only gives me $$$ occasionally when he has jobs but will soon "borrow" it back from me without returning. Most of the time, we...

Actually I think it all depends on individual. In my opinion, the market rate is 700 to 900 for overnight care. Last time I gave my nanny 700. Infant care charge higher rate because the nannies there are professionally trained and are considered certified baby caregiver plus there will be...
