Despite what people may tell you about the Do and Don;ts of motherhood, you must really decide for yourself.

For my first pregnancy, I was mortified, usually from very traditional ladies in china, on what to do and what not to do.

Trust me, when you gain up to 20kgs, yes, it;s horrifying and ever destroying for anyone;s self esteem, especially mine, YOU must decide what is right for you.

The morning sickness can be hell. My advice of anyone who is sorry enough to experience this roller coaster symptom is hold on for one more day. It will clear by the fourth month. Have regular meals and do whatever is needed to feel at ease. I did not cook for 4 mths with lya, the mere smell of cooking made me nausea.

The second half of the trimester, you will feel better and have more energy to do your usual chores and stuff. Of coz, the energy HIGH and LOW means, you can feel on top of the world one morning and like crap, the next. Your partner needs to understand your hormonal changes and mood swings. No, You are not lazy or feeling sorry or making a BIG thing about being pregnant, You are just going through a very bad day.

Having in laws with you can escalate the thing. I would usually have more patience with these old chinese people but with my raging hormones and very thin patience endurance, I took 2 hours break when desperately needed.

I usually allow my little girl to nap, so as not to have people say I abandon my child to my milly. AND, pedicure is the best thing I can think of. Warm water soak, warm hands massaging, your tiny toes get the pampering. You get to read a gossip Mag in peace and takeaway a hot mocha to sip.

IT"S my survival kit.

I am tempted to do my brow and lash, but that would take a really 90 mins to 120 mins and trust me, NO mother have that kinda luxury time!!

Note to all beautician, having a 60 mins pampering session and low cut price can be BIG business OK?

I have a plan , to enlist my friend;s help to help me take photos of my last term so I can showcase my last month of pregnancy and how to stay in trend.

Well, when u look like a whale, hiding in potato sack clothing would not do you any favor and may sink you further into the hole.

I can;t get my baby shower done as plan due to his mother;s presence. But I can sure plan other things on hand.

Oh well, One must prevail and milly is staying till oc/nov, NO matter how hard I wanna wish her away!

My mother is coming on aug 8, ThaNK GOODNESS!! I LOVE YOU MOTHER DEAREST!!!

Nothing like getting married to make you appreciate your own precious mother!

I dun even mind My mother;s nagging words! Serious!

Ladies...stay tuned!
