Home renovation

I am currently 30 weeks preggy and is currently doing up my new house to move before the baby arrives. My FIL keeps telling my husband to not let me be at the new house at all especially when the contractors are installing things. Is this some pantang thing? May I know why? Realistically I am aware that there may be dusts/particles from drilling or chemicals from cleaning. But I diligently keep my mask on at all times and stay far away from the chemicals. We are not doing any major works or any hacking anyways. Also, I am a very DIY person so am I able to do up some stuffs on my own? Or cannot do at all? Thanks in advance!

Superstition but best to listen to the elders. my mum told me not to nail a loose painting to the wall as the sound will affect the baby. however, my neighbours who just moved on next door drill and drill whole day. 😐so I asked my hubby to nail the painting while I am out to appease my in laws. sometimes, its best to create harmonious relationships with in laws for small matters like that, no matter how independent you are.

Hi parents! How do you determine which brand of diapers to purchase for your LO? I have requested for samples and received 1-2 pieces of brands like Merries, Huggies Naturemade and Drypers Skinature. Can using only 1 piece of diaper show you how well baby reacts to it? Shall I purchase 1 pack of the cheapest (by piece) and continue using unless there are rashes? What other diaper “problems” should I look out for other than diaper rashes? Thank you all in advance! #FTM #diapers

I tried other brands & find that Merries & Mamypoko airfit is the best so far. It's soft & don't give rashes to my LO. Moony is good too.

For mummies under KKH subsidised route, I would like to know if you have requested for hospital leave to rest before you give birth? Are the gynaes/doctors under subsidised route willing to give? Or does it depend on the gynae/doctor themselves? During my 20 week appointment I tried asking whether it’s possible to take HL before I give birth, but the doctor at that time told me to use my maternity leave instead. If possible I would like to save my maternity leave for AFTER the birth instead as I feel that every day and minute is very precious after my boy comes out. Appreciate any advices in advance!

try asking again closer to 30 weeks

Any mummy’s belly just suddenly ballooned overnight? I’m only in my 11th week and my belly is significantly larger than the day before. I already 💩 twice today so it’s definitely not 💩 inside. 🤣 Is this normal!!!!#firsttimemom

it really depends! I can start the day with abs but look bloated and baby bumpy by night. so I guess mine balloons over day?
