I can answer a couple of those, am not working so cant help with childcare but Climate in Sg doesnt really vary that much, there are 2 rainy seasons Dec-Mar & Jun-Sept, but in all honesty having come from the uk all it means is i sweat slightly less when I go outside!! Check out here for the full cl...

Bedok from experience I can say that retrieval is not necessarily the solution, we had male factor and sadly no amount of SSR helped.

Having been through it im sure you know these decisions don't come lightly.

I can't answer the OP as we had our treatment in the uk / Europe before getting here.

I've emailed you Sandy

Sounds like a plan

Bugis isn't too muchof a p ain for me either (i live a few mins from Buona Vista mrt so the Orange /green lines are ok)

Cost wise our delivery was $5,500 ish which was for a single room for 4 days and a c-section, so not quite as bad as we'd expected! As for meeting up I can do any days in march, ideally I'd rather not haul the baby all the way across the island so how about holland village? (I think someone else men...

Hi Sandy Congratulations :-) No we haven't met up yet but we can definitely arrange something for the end of March when you are here. I gave birth at NUH (National University Hospita) we had tto pay for it all ourselves as I was pregnantwwhen we moved out here and the insurance through hubby's compa...

Hi Anca You've got some good advice from the regulars :) I definitely second living near an MRT station, we live on the Circle / East - West line, its not the fastest but it hasnt caused me any issues yet - my baby is also 3 months old, there have been a couple of occasions where he's become hungry ...

I'm in the Dover / Buona Vista area, and am almost always up for coffee!

Milly when are you in Singapore and we can try and organise coffee around you perhaps?

Hi ladies

Ooh I had not discovered / thought about the international shipping options. That's a good plan thank you The modern maternity place was good too :) Have managed to find all the baby stuff we've needed without a problem, my new issue is nursing bras as again sizes are a bit of an issue - m&s only go...

Hi all Wondering if someone can clarify for me, before we moved out here we had a 3 year old Japanese Akita, who we've had to leave with the mother in law as they are a banned breed to import in to Singapore. My question is how come when I google Akitas in Singapore I can find classifieds for people...

Thanks for those tips shall check them out, I found a couple of places round marina bay and also have discovered spring maternity so am a bit more kitted out :) Mothercare seemed ok, quite pricey vs uk and maybe slightly less choice but to be honest I didn't spend much time in Mothercare in the uk s...

I'm really hoping that's a typo from someone, is it likely to jump 100 in an hour?

* or any arbitrary country

Haha that worked really well when we were on the way out of the UK, and generated extra smugness on my part as I was actually telling the truth

Ooh cool thanks, hadn't thought of M&S, shall have a peek.

Shall look into 2nd hand stuff too

Thanks both
