Having Tea at TWG

I always love having tea and coffee with my husband. TWG have so many types of teas to choose from. Today I picked Chocolate Tea. It’s black tea blended with dark chocolate and cocoa bean. It has a strong chocolaty taste.

Since we are a first-time parents, I felt that we need to attend the classes in order to prepare ourselves for our baby’s arrival. Each lesson, there will be some light refreshments like sandwiches, bao & mee hoon. It’s really worth signing up! Highly recommended for first time mummy ^^ There are also many samples given during the classes too (start becoming auntie haha..)  Continue reading “Childbirth Education Course”

We have signed up for the Alvernia Ladies Card from Mount Alvernia Hospital. The membership cost $68 for 2 years. We signed up because there is a $100 rebate for single room which we plan to register during my stay and 10% off for childbirth education course. There are also some other benefits.

My First Baby Blog

I decided to start writing when I know I’m pregnant. This is my first blog and it’s about my whole pregnancy process. In the beginning, I felt my body is undergoing changes which I never experience before. My breasts were getting really tender for quite awhile. Usually before menstruation they will get firm too but it will only last around a week. This time round, it was longer. Somehow, I got a feeling that I am pregnant, so I decided to get a test kit. I was afraid of a negative result. Nowadays, it’s so difficult to get pregnant due to the stress environment around us.

The next morning, I tested and it was positive. I am so happy to see the two red lines on the pregnancy test kit. My husband was so excited and decided to bring me to a clinic for confirmation. We went to a women’s clinic for an ultrasound and confirmed that I am 7 weeks pregnant. The doctor suggested to visit her monthly and she will recommend a gynecologist from my 6 months pregnancy onward. As it was my first pregnancy, I thought this was the usual practice. However, we did some reading and found out that people start visiting a gynae from the start. Hence, I started to look for a good gynae recommendation.
