Hi Angeline and Vailey and all mummies here!
I only gained about 2kg. I don't really yearn for anything. So different this time!
Mount Elizabeth for my first, my second will also follow suit. After deduction and all, I think my husband paid $2k to $3k. I must say the service is good. My mid wives are very experienced aunties who helped to calm me down (this is especially important for a first-timer giving birth). The anaesthetic is also very professional and quick in his job.
now that im expecting my 2nd, I got all my breast feeding barang ready already!!wow!!! You're living such a luxurious life! Tai tai life! For me, I've to work...SAHM here~ Usually out with kid and shopping with friends. Hahahha. Don't have the habit to check this thead every now and then because its so quiet!!
Breastfed my son for 1 week before I got admitted to TTSH due severe allergic reaction to the post partum medication.. so I only have 1 week of experience
Was it the one by (shit I forgotten her name!)? Oh never mind! Anyway, I went to sign up when I was pregnant back then, but when my baby was born, I forgot everything. I should say bathing a new born baby is instilled in us mothers. But you might enjoy the class. I must admit I did learnt many things from the teacher from that class even though I have forgotten most of it. LOL!
Actually I forgotten to add in my gynae and anesthetic fees (memory failing on me). So all in all, it should be $5k-$6k cash (excluding all the consultation fees, scans and blood tests).
Don't keep thinking of giving up and you will not! I have a bunch of great mummy friends (also known here) when I went through that process. Everyone was very supportive and we shared our experiences (none of us are selfish). Up to date, some of us even became close friends! Cos we always have outings. It was fulfilling!
