What food stuff to prepare for your confinement?
I was at a blur what to buy for my confinement nanny to cook. Thank God I can ask my confinement centre, and this is what Alice faxed to me. Being non Chinese speaking, it is quite hard to ask people what to buy and then go to the chinese herb store to buy them, as I won’t know whether what the chinese physician recommend would be the things the confinement nanny want.

26 weeks

I also got my Tetanus injection on my left arm. I need to get 2 injections for first time mothers.
