Hello mummies!

I just signed up for childbirth education classes with tmc under mrs wong boh boi at the tmc baby fair. About $30 cheaper than sign online.

Also just started yoga with my neighbour, we engaged a yoga trainer to come our area to give us lessons. Heard yoga helps with natural delivery.

Hahahaha,
My tummy is obviously showing, and I can feel some movement on my tummy too, its very obvious and I cant wait to see my gynae to ask/tell her about it. LOL...
Backache I do have sometimes but not too much, but if I bent down quite a while, I will get up with a slight pain at the back. So i try to refrain from bending down.
Now, I am actually quite worried about the weight gain though... coz its like only 19 weeks and I have gain like 10kilos. Omgawddd... Good luck to me later when trying to lose weight after giving birth.. LOL!!

When is the right time for me to join prenatal course?

Babydf, see this web for more Info. The rates are at the link below under online registration http://www.thomsonmedical.com/childbirth-education-course-2/ I booked the one from Mrs Wong boh boi, very famous and good lactation consultant my friend encourage me to attend nearer to edd (3rd Tri) as won't forget much

If u bend down, try keep Ur back straight. Try asking hubby to massage for u?

For my yoga so happen my neighbour also interested and we just started. If u stay Punggol , feel free to join us? Hehehe

My tummy still small, weight gain still 1kg only but I do feel my butt n tights getting bigger.

Hi winwon,
my first lesson started last say at kkh. It was conducted by a physiotherapist. We did pelvic and back exercises.
All of us receive a goodie bag, participants can also borrow books for free. Did u go to he thomson baby fair at suntec? The workshop was good. I think classes conducted by wong boh boi at thomson is popular. I hope to sign up for her workshops

Taurusmom: weight gain 1-2kg... hmmm normal I guess

Strollers are Big headache lol. So many brands. So far I got 2pack of a&a swaddles from robinsons sale, some milk bottles from baby fair which my friend help me trade in her old bottles. I am looking at Medela or spectra breast pump, weighing the pros and cons, havent discuss with hubby.. Maybe i will buy breast pump in oct.or after give birth .. and also looking around for preloved manduca carrier.

hi babydf,
i think joining prenatal execise classes at mid second trimester is good. if u start now, maybe can make u more flexible…and not until third trimester when we are the biggest. I find squatting now texting for my knees…

Hi Taurusmom,
Thanks for sharing the 12-July talk. I think I will be interested and has paid for it already!

Btw do you have the link to KKH's prenatal exercise you are attending? I managed to find only the general page.
How much are you paying for it and who's the physiotherapist?
