Pregnancy Push Gift

And a big thank you and hug to hubby for a very sweet push gift:)

I wonder how many women(who actually went through pregnancy and childbirth) would say that it is an easy task. Now that I am going through pregnancy the very first time, and passing through all the different stages of discomfort from morning sickness, merlioning (puking), backaches, migraine, leg swelling, you name it...

I would say every pregnant woman or mom deserves a gift especially from their husbands or partners!

It is not bribery.

The gift does not need to be extravagant. It is the thought behind that counts. It is letting the female know that "hey I appreciate you bringing this life to earth and going through all the hardwork!"

It is all about appreciation and the benefit of receiving a physical gift is that you get to keep it as a sentimental token. You know like showing your children and grandchildren in the future...beaming as you tell them, " Grandpapa gave this to me when I gave birth to your mom"

And apparently showering wives with push presents is not a new trend, as featured on New York Times in 2007: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/06/fashion/06push.html and more recently Jay-Z's bump gift to Beyonce: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2098195/Beyonce-blue-ring-A-push-present-Jay-Z.html

So husbands/partners out there, show your beautiful mother-to-be how much you appreciate her!

Facial Treatment at Miracle Aesthetic Clinic (Kemang, Jakarta)

I am sure those who frequent Kemang will not fail to see the big white building with a huge signage- Miracle Aesthetic Clinic. For those who follow my blog, you will know that I am always on a lookout for a nice spa or beauty/facial places. Just as I was about to check out the clinic, Miracle Aesthetic Clinic dropped me a note to try out their treatments; great timing isn't it? :) Many of us will probably be very skeptical about trying aesthetic treatments in Jakarta or anywhere in Indonesia, after all Jakarta is not famous like Bangkok for beauty treatments. So on the Saturday before I left Jakarta for our holiday, I dragged Hubby G with me to check out Miracle Aesthetic Clinic. They offered a consultation before trying any treatments including facial. I met one of the aesthetic doctors and she took me through the list of available treatments the clinic offers- Botox, Fillers, IPL, Facial, etc. As usual, the cynical me checked with the doctor if the products are legitimate and...

Part 3: Deciding to give birth in Jakarta or Singapore

A tough dilemma isn't it? Giving birth in Jakarta or Singapore has its pros and cons. We know of many expats and affluent Indonesians moms would fly down to Singapore to have their delivery there. After all Singapore's healthcare is unarguably one of the best of the region and the entire country runs efficiently. The price difference between delivering in Singapore's hospitals and the prestigious hospitals here in Jakarta is not that huge either; and of course Singapore's hospitals are definitely way better maintained so it does seem like a very attractive idea to deliver in Singapore. There's couple of considerations when hubby G and I were debating to give birth in Jakarta or Singapore. 1. Medical Care. How comfortable and confident we feel about the local hospital facilities? 2. Logistics. If I were to give birth in Singapore, it means I have to be there a month before I am due and only be able to fly back a month after I deliver. Plus minus..I ...

Birthstory: Giving Birth In Jakarta via natural delivery

Many friends and acquaintances I know are actually pretty skeptical about giving birth in Jakarta due to the lack of medical know-hows and emergency infrastructure locally. Hubby G and I decided to deliver in Jakarta after much consideration. (You may want to read about it here: Deciding To Give Birth in Singapore or Jakarta ) Couple of blog readers have been asking me about my childbirth experience in Jakarta and hubby G is also constantly pestering me to record the birth experience so that we won't forget in the future.(Birth amnesia is real~~ I am starting to forget details of my delivery with my first child) And also, for the sake of anyone like myself who's frantically trying to research about delivering in Jakarta; for those who has tried googling for e.g 'delivering in Jakarta', 'giving birth in Jakarta', 'experience childbirth Jakarta', 'natural birth jakarta', 'expat giving birth Jakarta', etc and yet got not much information i...
