YOUNG MUMS?


wow, u ladies are really young mummies. I 'start' motherhood late and can only envy young mummies who hv energy to chase after their toddlers and later u all and ur kids look more like brothers and sisters than mother and child.

jia you!

Hello! Sorry I'm not active on forums. My eldest is turning 5 this year, second boy turning 2 in Aug.. And baby due in Aug too!
I guess being a young mom has pros and cons. We have to energy to take care of our children ourselves. I do not have helper at all and thankfully hubby is supportive, that's why we decided to have more than 1.
Disadvantages would be financially not that stable compared to those who have worked for a number of years. Also, when u are young and taking care of a child, negative thoughts will come. Like, u may look at ur fellow peers and wonder if u have made the wrong decision. It's normal to think this way but don't let it overwhelm you. The grass only seems greener on the other side. Older mums will have their envy over young moms too.
Just imagine you will be a young and hip grandma in future? I'll only be 50 when my oldest is 27!

Thanks! I'm quite lucky I have family members living close by who help out with the kids.. We have three families living in two blocks side by side.. Even when the kids are sick, we can separate them in different units to minimise contact.. Sometimes I'm not so sure which flat my kids are when I come home from work.. And I have a super Indonesian helper which really helps a lot... Thank God I have her.. Hope we can cope with the fourth!

Thanks! I have two other friends who have four or going to have four too! And kinda know a few other families who have like 4-6 kids.. My hb and I always talked about having 4 kids.. .never knew it would come true! When we had two it was already perfect one boy one girl.. then wanted a third one to see who he will look like... my #3 is a boy and its amazing how he resembles his elder brother.. then decided to try for another one hopefully a girl as companion for our elder girl.. and thank God again we are expecting a baby girl... so two boys and two girls.. gotta close factory le...

You are blessed with two girls.. My parents have three girls and girls are really sweet and loving.. Maybe someday you two might wanna try for another?

Agree! we may not have much savings but we are young and can still strive to work hard to provide for our family. We had a wedding banquet without any savings or help and used whatever we had to put deposit for a flat.. Looking back we were really daring! Now moving on my eldest is turning 6 coz I had him when I was 24 and girl is turning 5 in dec.. third is dragon boy 2 in July and expecting girl pony in 12days!!

Baby's cord around her neck. So gynae advised csect. Plus she's on the smaller side. The cord has a loop so she wont be able to get out of it. Csect safer.

Wow! Really blessed!:) could you share on the challanges you faced before as a young mum? Must be tough huh
 
I'm not a young mum now, coming to 35 in 10 days' time but I have my first baby when I'm 21. Just delivered #5 last month and did tubal ligation when I delivered him. Have 4 boys and 1 girl, wanted another girl but no luck so gave up on trying, anyway too old to try again. :p

Super! Now your eldest is a teen already wow..
 
Im still undecided to go for ligation prefer all things natural but #5 sounds overwhelming.. Then again im sure can manage somehow... And each baby is such a joy! My gf told me she would have 10 if she was younger
 
@jaschar83 :

Yes, #1 is teen now and #2 going to be one too, she's 11 this year. :) #3 is 5 this year while #4 is 22 months now.

It was #5 pregnancy made us decided to go for ligation, it was a complicated pregnancy and we don't want to risk to have the same incident happen to #6 if we were to have one plus I had a emergency c-sect this time round so next pregnancy cannot happen too early as well.

My #3 turning 5 in May! I think we have them on the same year, hehe. :D

I realised that the kids happen to have their birthdays from Feb until June, one on each month. They are not planned though, #5 came early and got himself in March to fill in the gap. ;)

hehe cupcakes are a great invention.. Hb and wife should celebrate! even a simple one..
For my hb's family, even if you don't have a party, the relatives will just go over to the house when it's someone's bday.. whether u invite or not.. the close ones.. so confirm gotta prepare food.. all in all maybe we have at least 20 bday parties and like 5 wedding anniversaries to attend in a year..
