    No it's good exercise for her. Keeps her fit. Need to be in good physical condition for the delivery. In the olden days, the women in China work in the fields while they are pregnant. Our race and gender is adapted to that. Don't flame me. I am a female, mother of 3 kids (non-C section) and worked until the day I delivered all of them.

    but i also want swimming pool for exercise purpose..

    if condo, swimming pool + gym is just down stair - you pay monthly fee la..
    if landed, you must drive/travel to the nearest swimming complex.. sianz..


    plus i want freehold .. lol
    I'm not following. Like I said, all the condos around botanic garden / goodwood hill / etc have all these. And most (all?) are FH.

    google "Goodwood Residences" and "Volari".

    I would pick a home in the Central over one in the outskirts any time. Time is of the essence here, and being able to reach home before the sun sets and wake up only after sun rise is a definite plus for me.

    You spend most of your work week travelling to and fro the office, so staying close means you have more family time as well as longer sleep hours on 5/7 days a week.

    On weekends, you can look into the Singapore map (which is shaped like a fan) and choose to head west, north, north-east or east, or even south to Sentosa. And no destination is too far from home!

    Work at home or laze at home?
    If so then a 24 hour supermarket and eateries within walking distance would be my number one priority.
