Not just any ordinary rash, this one seemed to spread its itchiness the more it's scratched!
Only a little bit around the ankle and behind the knees for now.

Pregnancy related rash?
Minor itch + scratching, and more scratching = red rash

Let's fly away to a quiet island beach
Of all the things we're considering at this stage...
No longer overwhelmed by the sleepyness and tiredness of the first trimester, and with appetite and enthusiasm back, there's something we've got to do before we take a looooong break from it.... go off on a quiet holiday for two!
We found return Firefly flights to our favourite island for RM14 per person each way, and she found a great hotel deal on AA's website. With some checking, it seems the airline allows expectant mothers to fly without need for any medical letters up to 28 weeks, and thereafter with a letter from the doc. Good thing the special rates was right on the 27th week.
So it's the sound of the sea for the free passanger, and floating with the waves inside mummy! Now we just have to hope all's well between now and the trip.

Confinement lady, or no confinement lady?
Among all the things we've been working ahead of schedule for, something like this somehow got left behind. Options were kept open for a while, and just lingered.
After birth, do we spend the 1st month of rest in...
A. my mum's house where there will always be someone at home almost all the time, to attend to meals and baby?
B. her mum's house where there will also be someone at home almost all the time, to attend to meals and baby?
C. our place and get the traditional "confinement lady" in for one month of tending?
First, there was the more pressing need to decide if we'll deliver in PJ, or in Muar where her parents are.
Before we know it, we're at 5 months already, and realise we may be running out of options faster than we realise. Apparently getting a confinement lady is usually done within the first month of discovering a pregnancy as most reputable ones are usually all booked up fast.
Enough of contemplating - we'll go with the confinement lady option as both options A and B will likely put excessive strain on either our parents who may not be at their best to handle round-the-clock attention by then.
We were already late when we tried the two we were first recommended, but finally managed to get one who had to switch with another due to a slight mismatch of delivery timing of her previously booked client. Definitely a relief for now.
