Confinement nanny - yes or no?

How tough is it to go without one? I’m not comfortable with an additional stranger in the house and worried her ideology will clash with mine. I don’t subscribe to too many old wives tales and hope that my baby wouldn’t be subjected to superstitious practices. I’ll be on maternity anyway, will I be so worn out if my hubby is fully committed to help?

i engaged CN for my 1st pregnancy, ended her service 1week earlier To add on, I engage day only instead of full day and paid extra for her accommodation, cause I don't like to have stranger stay over I didn't engaged CN for the 2nd pregnancy due to 1st CN experience I ordered Confinement Tingkat it's manageable without CN or any help from parents/in-law, at the end of the Confinement, we will still need to manage everything my ourself

Should NIPT replace NT ultrasound?

NIPT screens for genetic disorder but we still need a NT ultrasound to check for congenital defects such as hole in the heart? I’m with a private gyn and I’m not sure if he might be omitting some tests based on best practice. What’s the set of tests you go through? #firsttimemom #nipt

Beauty: Ok to do when pregnant?

- facial - pedi/mani cures - Brazilian waxing - body massage/ foot massage I realized for things like facial, pedi/mani and massage, some salon have prenatal versions. Is it necessary or I can still go on with my regular salon? As for Brazilian waxing, most websites says it’s safe but have anyone done it during pregnancy?

My pregnant wife does not get body or foot massages especially reflexology right now. However, she has done manicures and pedicures.

NIPT, what’s next?

Just wondering, after doing these genetic screenings, what if the results show that there’s a genetic defect. What’s the next step and options? #testing

If there’s a genetic alteration, usually the next step is to be very sure using an invasive test such as amniocentesis or CVS. Then after that, the options are to decide whether to keep the child, and bring up a child with a genetic alteration, or to terminate the pregnancy. The doctor will be able to walk you through each of these options.

Wake up feeling less nauseated, should I be worried?

At week 9, I woke up today feeling less nauseous, should I be worried? The last time I had a miscarriage, i didn’t even know until a scan at the doc. #nausea

It’s around W6 for me but my boobs had gotten bigger and it’s starting to itch! I applied bio oil but sometimes it’s still super itchy. Any suggestions? #skincare

It is your body hormones during pregnancy and you will have dry skin that cause itchiness. Can be at ur leg, hand, butt, body etc. You can try Palmer's Cocoa Butter for dry skin or try Nivea cream and apply every day.
