Envisioning Parenthood Workshop

Last Sunday, Cheep and i attend our very first antenatal class organized by PitterPatter. Found out about the event from a blogger Anita. The admission fee was only RM10 per pax! We almost had to skip the workshop because Cheep had lots of work that weekend, but i was lucky he managed to squeeze the time for me :) The event started at 1.30pm at KLGCC but we arrived around 2pm, parked the car and took a shuttle service available. Phew!

KLGCC is a very nice place! I think the first time i went to KLGCC was to attend Lisa's wedding kot? But time tuh malam so tak nampak surroundings sangat.

After registration we got ourselves a doorgift *yay!* Inside the banquet hall, the speaker Dr Helena already started and gave interesting talk about surviving few weeks after delivery. And then a talk about nutritions by Sharon from Wyeth. Wasn't really concentrating on this one because it's getting hot at the back of the hall. Sib baik lepas tuh few staff tolak masuk 2 big cooler.

And then there was Pregnancy Yoga which i found very useful but unfortunately due to limited time, the trainer had to ajar macam katun and i can't remember all the steps :( But there's a video here captured by PitterPatter.

Right after that we had Hi-Tea buffet. We can eat these....

And all these! Totally worth it oh! Makan puas. At the same time there was a fashion show modeled by participants jugak. I remember received a call from PP offered me to to join the fashion show because dapat makeover and pro photoshoot but segan lah besides if participate sure kene bagi commitments like pegi fitting, practice and what not.

For me, the most interesting talk was by Jasmeen Tay about effective breastfeeding. Banyak tips dia bagi, senang nak ingat and she's very funny.

Next was a practical sessions where participants can stop at each booth to see demo and products which i think was a good idea instead of just sit and absorb everything which can be pretty boring. Didn't catch the cooking demo by Chef Ismail though, but he prepared Ayam Masala and Banana+S26 milk frap.

Oh ya before the demo, he made us dance which then Cheep realized that we never dance together before! Slalu dia menari annoyingly in front of me adalah...but me menari in front of him tak penah kot?! Apertah lagik dancing together. Hahaha so that has to count as our first dance...in public plak tuh. Sib baik the video tak nampak sangat kitowang yang kat blakang2 tuh.

Other interesting practical sessions were changing nappies by Pureen.

How to bathe baby by Lactacyd, nursing wear by Autumz, stroller by Combi, stem cell by Cellsafe, maternity outfit by Maternity Wearhouz, etc.



Among the freebies yang dapat: diaper bag, sample susu, sabun, catalogues, and pen.

Around 6pm the event was over. While waiting for the shuttle to take us back to the car park, amik gambar dolu ;)

Again it was a very place lahhh! Very calm and serene. Glad we made it to the event and hopefuli can apply whatever advise, knowledge and tips we gained throughout the session.
