Hey Pan pan,Hi memories! i'm in the same situation as you (26wks and staying with in laws!).. and my house is not ready till 4 yrs later too!! I think part time maid is betta as you will not have a place for the maid to sleep in. (and this is wat i was planning too)
As for the items, you can search for a list of items to buy (do think through it as not everything stated in the list is necessary depending if you were to breastfeed or bottlefeed.)
Hope this helps!
yes you are right. I took the glucose test 4 weeks ago to test for gestational diabetes. That is a "terrible test" for me... gotto do fasting the night before the test. Then when you are at the hospital, they will draw blood from you. After that, they made you drink one cup of super sweet glucose and gotto wait for about two hours (still gotto carry on with fasting and can only slip little bit of water). When the two hours' up, they will draw blood from you again. That will complete the test and you can go and eat.if i'm not wrong, glucose test is to test for gestational diabetes.

hey Memories03, dun stress dun stress... I am also first time mummy who have no experience at allI believe there are quite a lot of first time mummies here also. If you are worried, maybe can enroll in those classes offered by the hospitals? I am attending the lesson at KK hospital, some lessons quite interesting, some quite boring cos they just read from powerpoint haha... I have seen good reviews from Thomson classes by Mrs Wong Boi Boi. But I only saw the reviews after I signed up with KK, so just stick with it lah

I signed up at their Patient Education Centre. It is just beside MacDonald's. I am already in my 7th lesson tonight. There are a total of 10 lessons at $120 per couple. So it is relatively cheaper compared to the Mrs Wong's one. Maybe you can call them to check if they are offering any upcoming lessons?This Mrs Wong quite famous, some ppl recommend her oso... How do I sign up the course fr KK... I seeing Dr Khoo fr KK .. How much is the session ?
Hi hotmilktea, nt all need to take the test. It's gestational diabetes need do the test.hi mummy Jan, which week are u in currently? Why is there glucose and blood test?
I knw I be having 1 in 3 weeks time to test for hepatitis but no glucose test.
hi didy, yes cos my 1st pregancy is natural birth without anything and i hope this 2rd time will be the same. pray hard 2rd one wont be as pain as 1st one.
Hi hotmilktea, nt all need to take the test. It's gestational diabetes need do the test.
I'm 30wks tis wk, think we are ard the same edd. R u feeling excited, 10 more wks we can see our babies........
i have mixed feelings actually, excited to see how he looks like and all the joy for the new addition to the family, but at the same time so much things to worry about too. like whether or not i can endure the pain and go without epidural (high chance i cannot endure), whether i have breast milk to feed him, whether or not he be a healthy boy, whether how long i need to lose of the fats...ha ha . i think too much !!!
hi hotmilk yes the pain is really terrible but once the baby head is out the pain is gone. if you cannot stand the pain you better take epidural cos after certain cm opening doc wont allow u to take epidural. the pain is terrible when your cervic is open start from 3cm onwards. Beginning the pain is still ok. But natural birth is good and next day i can get down my bed and walk.
