Guess I can skip all my CNY home decoration and goodies cos most likely is confinement at home! Only need to prepare my elder boy new clothes to go visiting with his daddy! Haha!

When do you plan to go on leave? My EDD on 12th, have told my boss I am taking leave from 4th onward (Abt 1 wk before). My elder one I took 2weeks before, and just nice he was born that week too, so didn't waste my early maternity leave! :)

Usually Dragon a good year but tis yr water dragon a lot comment not so good, so I'm not sure too. I dunno dtls. N next year if not mistaken another water yr-water snake, so dunno good a not.

I can't read Chinese so can't surf much on tis. English web not much dtls on tis stuff. Old ppl will say 'big' animal is better.

N still considering is it good to do confinement during cny? My edd feb 26 but if I decided C section it will b during cny week. If natural not sure will b early or late? It's my #1 princess. I heard ppl say girl usually will b late? Wonder how true? Any exp mummies to share?

I can only b induce cos gynae not keen in performing c-sec

went for my check up and 1st antenatal class ytd...baby now weighs about 1.1kg...

the antenatal class...actually i think it's more impactful for daddy...some information mummy may have checked out online but daddy either don't know or don't believe...so, i guess my hubby had quite an insightful lesson ytd... and the class teach daddy how to take care of mummy too.. :001_302:

Hi Starling, when is yr edd? Is true tat food prices will up during cny. But I'm more concern which date is better - dragon or snake. D CL which I engage will charge peak season price if on duty on the 1st 15 days of cny, no way to avoid unless I'm confirm my princess only come out then.

If I go for maternity checkup, I can request Gynae to give MC. Mostly I applied leave, so didn't use the MC. But you can do so too if its just 1-2 days.

I didn't book confinement nanny cos it cost $1k more. Tried calling agency, some fully booked,some can only come after 15th (who knows if my boy decides to come out earlier??) so in the end ask my mum to help me.

But for 1st mummy, I will still recommend confinement nanny.

r u mommies gonna get sterilizer or use hot water for the bottles? is it necessary for a sterilizer?
I think I will stick to d hot water thing. I feel it's ok since it done d job. But of course sterilizer will b easier. I just dun like a lot if things lying around n dunno where to keep when it's no longer needed.
 
I prefer sterilizer cos now many come in multi functions, so can wrk as bottle warmer to warrm up frozen breast milk, can wrk as steamer for veggies and sterilizing bottle. plus using the traditional way will use lots of water.
