Pregnancy Stress

Have been having bad dreams lately, I guess it's the worry that we won't be able make it financially, and won't be able to cope with a newborn. And all the rumours heard about the staff's attitude in Auckland Hospital and many untrained student working there.

That stress eases a bit after attending the prenatal class. Jotted down some points to remind myself:

- We naturally know how to take care of our baby, just follow our gut feeling & connect with the baby
- Delegate and don't be afraid to ask for help, kindly accept help from others
- Learn to say no if work is overload, hey pregnant women got all the right to have a relaxed life!
- Go shopping for some new clothes, buy something for yourself, you're worth it!
- Muscle ache (stress in the body) will cause stress, go for a massage or ask my partner to do a massage with relaxing oil or even just baby oil.

Talking about shoppping, just been to Egg Maternity, they're doing a sale at the moment and their outfit is nice and comfortable, the pants have a support system for the tummy which I like. Should also start to shop for some baby clothes, car seat and brest pad....etc for the hospital.
