For normal people.. If there's white matter in the family i think you need to wait 100days before attending other people's wedding.. As for preggie to attend wedding.. I think it's up to your believe whether red matter and red matter will clash or not.. and also inform the couple for their decision whether to let a preggie attend or not.. But during my wedding.. there are people who attended without letting me or my husband know she have white matter in her family that have not pass the 100days thing and also another friend is preggie.. :nah: luckily nothing went wrong during the event.. :err:

don;t worry about it, if really shop for 1 mth b4 due date, I'll be too exhausted to do so and too tired to clean up all the new stuff, also she popped out 2 weeks b4 her due date...imagine if i had done my shopping much later on.

My in laws bought baby clothes during mid of my 2nd trimester. The rocker chair etc during late 2nd trimester. And baby's stroller n bed 2 days before she popped! I was waiting for hubby to come back to SG before shopping together in the end i was admitted into hospital to be induced then hubby rushed to go buy.

must avoid cats coz i heard there is one disease associated with cats that may cause miscarriage one.. better siam when you see one .
Think got something to do with the cat's faeces??? dunno if correct spelling or not??? I read somewhere from the pregnancy book abt avoid handling cats during pregnancy as the cat's faeces got some bacteria or virus that can cause miscarriages indirectly or directly.

As long as u (mtbs) avoid touching these cats be it stray or home pet with your hands, it shd be fine to walk ard any stray cats or watever. :Dancing_wub:

I avoided hospital partly becoz pantang.. mainly becoz of the germs in the environment..

Pantang me didn't visit my newborn cousin at the hospital.. saw the newborn for the first time only at his 1st month party..

IMHO... best to tell someone close in office cos touch wood if anything happen they know and can react accordingly. i told my closest colleague when i am in 5th wk
 
But if I tell my closest colleagues, I will hav to tell my parent n parent in law first ( dun wan to bypass them), does this constitute to breaking pantang rule #1: cannot tell other ppl I m preg while I m still in 1st tri. Sigh.....So far, only my Hubby knows

for me... my parents and closest colleague know about it when i am 5th week :p to me telling pple close to me are not = breaking the pantang rule :p
