Why considering having Baby...because that's what complete a "family"...
It's another step of life.

準備? to get pregnant? or during pregnancy?
I know many people take Chinese herbal medicine to 調理身體...I didn't. I only took multi-vitamin (i.e. Materna) during pregnancy. Many people take extra folic acid etc...
During pregnancy, get all the baby stuff ready before baby arrive. e.g. crib, crib mattress, stroller, carseat, a few baby clothes, bath tub, diaper, change table, bottle, pump, bottle steamer.
Also, attend class, and for me, not to eat: sashimi (basically anything not cooked including salad), mouuse cake (becaue contains raw egg), ice cream, cold water, coffee, deli meat, honey, banana and papaya (my mom said it's "cold" food in nature), cheese except processed cheese, less tea. (some people don't drink tea I found drinking a bit is ok). And try to have more balance diet. Eat beef, spinach, fish, drink 2 cups of milk a day, and drink more water...etc.

    我有問過family doctor，佢又無話有咩special嘅婦科檢查for pregnancy喎，總之有做開平時嘅婦科檢查就得。
我自己好唔鍾意食suppliment，我覺得自己均衡飲食就得。

講真，喺香港間樓都係幾百尺（實用面積仲無咁多添），咪又係一家四口，有咩話要大屋先生得仔喎。呢邊一般apartment都有七百靚尺啦。住多一個細路又點會話唔得。

講到開支，bb嘅formula（ready to feed比起奶粉已經係貴嗰隻）大約＄4／day，平過自己食用好多啦。diaper＄0.2一條，一日換12條都係＄3唔洗。＄210一個月基本開支，政府有＄100牛奶金，都唔係好貴啦。當然買衫褲鞋襪唔好計。
反而day care貴。至於學校，讀public就唔洗＄。但係課外班就係＄囉。一個班＄400，兩個八百。當然你可以乜都唔去。說到底養兒育女都係豐儉由人。

    不過我覺得呢度政府對有特殊需要嘅小朋友有好多照顧（比起香港）。亦有好多subsidize，父母會無咁辛苦。


而且教育子女，又唔可以一部通書睇到老，個個小朋友嘅性格都唔同，真係要慢慢探索。總之就大學問啦。

    $ is only one issue....
WORKLOAD is another issue...

it just takes too much work to take care of BABY....
Basically...no more personal time.

I guess it's better in hK....can hire "bun bun" to help out with housework...
yes the mat leave is a year but imagine doing all housework + take care of baby ALONE (most part of the day)....it's not easy.

    even with baby, many of my friends are very fit..
and during mat leave I won't stay at home all the time la...will go to park and both of us get some fresh air...
when the weather is nice...even take skytrain/bus to granville island!

淨係諗冇得去睇戲，驚同BB去稍爲高級嘅餐廳同搭飛機影響到人，都已經令我冇晒人生樂趣。

    當然，犧牲就一定有。不過當你聽到你個小朋友叫你媽媽爸爸，氹你開心嘅時候，又係另一種非筆墨形容嘅樂趣。

講到高級餐廳，我問過幾間，都無話唔歡迎bb喎，有啲surprise。

我都試過搭一次短程飛機，ok。所以下次會挑戰長途機返香港。

    我睇過一個類似星期二檔案嘅節目，有個天水圍家庭個屋企好似好細，但係有四，五個仔女，提到課外活動，個媽媽就會帶啲仔女去社區中心啲免費嘅興趣班，又會帶佢哋去公園。啲仔女都好開心。都係嗰句啦，平有平養，貴有貴養啦。

    I believed some high class restaurant in HK actually states that no kids under 3.
But at least here there are no such "rules".

    我唔係好知，如果可以叻到去外國參賽，會唔會有獎學金支助？

    咁如果我個b成日喊嘅就梗係唔帶佢去啲靜嘅餐廳啦。不過講到返香港，要去都無辦法啦。
