6weeks- due in June 2016

[summerssunshine]

Yeah - bad timing. We've been trying to go skiing in Japan for the last two years but it hasn't worked out each time - although this is so far the best reason for not being able to go

Am going down the public hospital route, so wont' have an ob i don't think, and will be going to Queen Mary as that's my closest. You?

It's absolutely the best reason! =)

I'm planning to take the 4 bedder in Matilda once we get blood-work done next week and seeing OB Edwin Tam. I considered Queen Mary but my husband was strongly against it for our first.

The one thing i have been doing is investing in any and every stretch mark prevention cream and oil!

Lucyveronica, you made me chuckle. I was drinking a lot of elderflower cordial disguised as white wine at parties so far! The things we do!

I'm not sure about flights - best to check with your ob =)

Oooh what's the go with stretch cream solutions?!! I am keen go throw any money at this problem!!!

I've purchased Elemis Japanese camellia oil - have heard nothing but great things about it! I've also got clarins tonic treatment oil. No sign of a bump yet but id rather be overprepared!

Does anyone work out? I'm in a prenatal Pilates class at flex central tomorrow.

I'm seeing Edwin Tam too! He's fantastic! I'm tossing up between Matilda and sanatorium as it's closer to me.
I've just picked up the mustela double action stretch mark cream after reading some good reviews. let's hope t works. they say I should start using it now to prevent stretch marks later.

I can't go near the office kitchen at all at the moment due to smells... Ugh! Trying to navigate the Halloween / thanksgiving / Christmas season is going to be a nightmare!

I feel you with the smells lilfish. I feel like my new sense of smell is worthy of xmen mutant status.

So many of us are seeing Dr Tam! Very cool! He shared with me that sanitorium has a lot of hidden costs. No one I know personally has delivered there yet but I've heard positive things about Adventist too! I picked Matilda because I visited the wards and was impressed overall.

Btw has anyone attended or considered attending the annerly midwife classes?

I've signed up for the free class above but wondering If The course of classes 'baby and beyond' are worth it?

ah - I have yet to ask him about it. A friend delivered there recently and she loved it. we hadn't discussed pricing though.... I haven't done a tour of either yet - waiting to get past my 7 week appointment with Dr Tam. My husband loves him solely because he wears RM Williams boots - no joke!

seriously though - I went to the gym today and my spot is now by the door and only in sessions where nobody has used the room prior (so no sweat smells)... it's borderline insane - particularly as I'm trying to keep up my HIIT classes which as a rule mean LOTS of sweat and not much aircon!

I keep an aromatherapy roll-on with me wherever I go. Especially for MTR rides! I work out at h-Kore so thankfully the smells are not an issue at all.

very excited to hear how your 7 week appointment will go! Ask loads of questions. I wrote a whole list of both medical and non-medical questions (can I have foot massages?). My next appointment is for the bloodwork and downs tests in a week's time.
