Merry (belated) Christmas Ladies!!!
I've been busy last 2 days. Had the first Christmas party in my house on the eve, so had to collect my food, set up the place etc and partied till 2am till i fell sick. And yesterday, had another party at my mum's place then spent the evening with my younger siblings(11 and 17 only) playing board games till midnite, and I was sneezing all the way I had to switch off the aircon when I slept. Btw, all my guests LOVED the cheese(from the nachos BP). It is soooo yummy!
linda, that day at the gathering we were talking about malay massage ladies who can turn the baby head down for you. forgot who was it who mentioned... was it dor or artemis?
jeannie, i add them under a folder named "bought" in my favourites. then every few days i'm online, i'll click to check the status of my orders.
cheryl/dor, i don't think it's contractions leh. cos i also have it. it's more like baby is popping his head/arm/leg out and not moving it away. then i haf to rub and soothe it down.
qoosan, u mean it's reaching 1st march or 3rd jan? hehe. i can collect from u at seng kang unless unforseen circumstances then gotta trouble u to mail to me liao. thanks.
isetan card - mine expired liao, and i also nv reali use it. so not worth it. hehe.
maternity clothes - thot i could survive with baggy/stretchable clothes until my 3rd tri then i started to buy. haiz.

INSURANCE
Tongtong, I nv heard of the Aviva offer before. Is it only free for the first year or how many years? My manager says their plans are quite expensive and not comprehensive, so maybe it's free only in the beginning but it the long run may not be worth it already.
IMO,
Need To Have - Hospital plan. Get a shield plan that can add on with a cash rider to cover 100% of your bills. Anyway it's cheap for kids, about $200-$300 a year all the way till 30 where they can pay on their own already. Some companies offer you a "cash rider" which actually pays out cash upon hospitalization which they tell u can cover the "balance" but that's not very good cos co-insurance is a percentage figure of 10% and cannot be predicted. Whereas the 100% cover kind of riders will ensure 100% coverage irregardless of how much the 10% is.
"Yi Fen Qian Yi Fen Huo" Don't just go for the cheapest plan. Usually cheaper also means less coverage. Look at the type of wards covered, Private/Restructured Hospital, Annual limits, Lifetime limits etc. The price I quoted above can already get you the best plans in the market.
Life Plans - The purpose of life/disability/critical illness plans are for "INCOME REPLACEMENT". Meaning that should the person be struck with any of the three, the money should be able to cover the "income" the person is expected to contribute to himself/the family in the number of years he is expected to do so.
Theoretically speaking, children do not need life plans because they have no income. But, some people buy for the assurance of insurability. Meaning that if they buy now, even if the kid becomes unhealthy in future, he is already insured. Also, it is much cheaper for the kid to buy now then when he is older. The extra coverage could also be unforseen expenses should any of the above strike.
So, if you have the budget, you can start a very basic life plan for your child. Personally I would go for investment-linked plans and not traditional plans. 1)they are adjustable - your child can increase the coverage/premium when he grows up. rather than buying a new one. 2)the money is liquid - u can withdraw part of the funds during emergencies, whereas withdrawal in traditional plans are considered as "policy loans". 3)with the liquidity, it can also act as a form of savings - if u have limited budget and can't afford more plans, the funds can help to cover educational fund/retirement fund.
Saving Plans - Some will get this for university educational funding. As with current rules, if you are studying in a local uni, 90% can be loaned. If you want your child to be independent and responsible for his own education, then you don't really have to plan for this. However, if you are thinking of an overseas education, or if you want to ensure your child can comfortably study without worrying about the fees, then you can probably start saving for him. The cost of a four year LOCAL university education in 20 years time, excluding living expenses is about $60,000. And if you start a savings plan, it should cost you about $200+ per month now. If you want an overseas education then definitely you have to increase the savings, or diversify into other instruments that can give you better returns. IMO, this is just "Good to Have".
Sorry for being so loh-soh, I know it's a bit lengthy. Hope it's been helpful. Anyway if you all want to buy can look for me any time hor. hehe.

Hi ladies,
Hope all of you had a Merry Christmas.
Hi piglettail,
You must take more Vitamin C to ward off the flu buggies. Pregnancy can do strange things to one's immune system.
RE: Keeping Emotionally Well During And After Pregnancy
I have signed up for this talk. Anyone else is going?
RE: Isetan sale
I am tempted to go also. I am a card member but... I scared of the crowd leh I quite bad at shielding myself from people pushing.
RE: massage lady pushing baby's head down
The one who mentioned it was not me. But I think some gynaes are also experienced enough to do it for you. Plus, I would rather trust someone with medical background to do it.
<sigh> On MC today cause I woke up with a horrible headache. I have a history of migraine and since pregnancy have been having regular headaches. Can't take strong pain killers too. Anyone have this experience and can share how to reduce the frequency?

Hi Cheryl,
Ya, sometimes just hope time will pass slightly faster, but also at the same time worried the day coming. Furthermore, my hubby going for his reservist for 2 weeks in Jan. I am so scared cos seems like so many ppl are popping early. He tried defering but it was rejected. So guess I may just move back to my parents place just in case.

RE: migraine
Chocolates can cause migraines? I had quite a lot during the Christmas period.
RE: Isetan sale
I will confirm with you gals tomorrow in the forum. Have to see my state cause my headaches normally last a few days especially now I can only take Panadol.
RE: deferment of NS for HB close to EDD
I think can just ask the gynae to write a memo confirming your EDD is that date, then write a deferment letter. That's what we did for my HB cause he had those recall thingys during my EDD period. In fact, Dr Adrian wrote "please defer him from all recall mannings and NS duties" and stated my EDD as 28 Feb 2008. So that covers it.
RE: disposable panties
I only bought 2 packs of 5 cotton type from NTUC at S$3.50 each pack. Do we really that many packs? The NTUC auntie was telling me to buy more so that during confinement no need to wash underwear but I thought wearing my own would be more comfortable.

Hi piglettail,
Actually, payayas and avocados are also a good source of vitamin C without the cooling effect of oranges. Maybe you can try? I take payaya personally cause don't really like the taste of avocados. Payayas also cheaper.

hi happymum2b,
oh yes now you dor and u mentioned...
on xmas eve the CL lady i booked asked to meet me (finally!). she told me a list of stuff to prepare which included confinement bath herbs.
she said it's called Da Fong something (cos she is auntie so can't remember the full name), her description is "sells in packs of 10s and the herbal water is black black wan." she asked me to buy 1 big pack of 10s first.
i super dunno what she is talking about leh...is there more than 1 brand/type available? what do i tell the medicinal hall ppl when i go and buy?
she asked me to prepare stuffs like red dates, black dates,ginger...as for wine (DOM or Yomeishu), she said no need to buy cos sure will receive as gifts. it appears that she is quite chin chye and in her opinion either DOM or Yomeishu is ok, she will use what i have/receive.

she said it's called Da Fong something (cos she is auntie so can't remember the full name), her description is "sells in packs of 10s and the herbal water is black black wan." she asked me to buy 1 big pack of 10s first.
i super dunno what she is talking about leh...is there more than 1 brand/type available? what do i tell the medicinal hall ppl when i go and buy?
she asked me to prepare stuffs like red dates, black dates,ginger...as for wine (DOM or Yomeishu), she said no need to buy cos sure will receive as gifts. it appears that she is quite chin chye and in her opinion either DOM or Yomeishu is ok, she will use what i have/receive.
