Hi Lia! I googled for my obgyn and got lucky as we like him very much. You can also go to the Singapore Motherhood Forum. They have many reviews on all the obgyns in Singapore. However it is a very messy website. If you want someone who is pro natural birth and is willing to discuss your birth plan,...

Thanks ksl! I got some of that from googling 'concubinage' as well. However, in France, concubinage does not mean that the man is of higher social standing or is married to someone else. It's is a different level of commitment than PACS. I was just wondering what the exact differences are as I can't...

Concubinage vs PACS (at French Embassy)

Hi, can anyone help me define the difference between the 2? All documents I've found regarding this are in French which I am not that fluent in yet.

Would appreciate any help in this area. Thanks!

Saw the Christmas edition in Madison. It's purple, comes with travel hair dryer and hair clips. AUD 325. With the current exchange rate, am so tempted!

Great to find this thread. We got a Maxi Cosi Cabrio and were wondering how to use it. Does it face rearwards when you buckle it in a cab?
I know most people don't use carseats in cabs here but we're not taking the risk!

Snowqueen, I'm at TMC too and doing the ante natal class at TMC. All the 5 classes will be held at Ang Mo Kio. Doctors talk will be held at SCGS which is located at the junction of Bukit Timah Rd and Stevens Rd. The only thing I find about the TMC classes is that they are too many people in each cla...

For nappies, I've heard good reviews about Bumwear. Am going to have a closer look at their store soon. Thinking using nappies during the day at home, and then disposables when going out and for night time. If you're worried about having loads of washing to do when it comes to nappies, you can try t...

Ooh, and someone else may have the Border's preferred card too but I'll bring mine in any case because we get 10% off the food bill with it.
