Adeline Loo,
I guess I'm forced by circumstances... leaving me with no choice, I just have to do it myself. That's what dh likes about me, very independant ;-)
I've put on 5kg till now, coming wk 28. In fact, I think my tummy is still not too obvious as when I brght dd for her ballet last week, her ballet teacher asked me if I'm expecting #3 =)
Melody,
Yes, in my previous coy, preg women has no privilege, or at least, not from my boss(es). I think it's probably because he has no kids, so he doesn't understand. You know, when I was expecting ds#2 in 2005, I had early contraction and gynae adviced me to miminise walking/standing for long hours. However, my job requires me to travel alot (within Singapore) and I told my immediate boss (this is another boss) about it. He told me he understands but the very next day, he schedules 3 meetings with our dealers and most of our meetings are in their showroom ie no proper meeting room, so needs to stand and discuss. So much for being understanding!
On a separate note, I think being more independant, my bosses expect me to perform better than my peers. Also, besides my boss, the rest in the team are all ladies (and more gu-niah than me). If I don't do it myself, who will do it?
PS: Sorry, just ranting...
