mog,
i hvnt decide leh..still thinking wanna go 2 or 430pm...

mog n tera,
$10/hr sounds reasonable lah..so housework does the part-time maid help to do?? can ask her to come any no of hrs is it??
 
aprilmum,
how do i apply for the citibank debit card, or family card, didnt see any application form for that card in their website
 
bizz, I confirm going for the 7pm one, don't think can make it for the 4:30pm class. She clean and mop the floor, toilet, kitchen, iron clothes. Minimum is 3 hrs.
 
bizz,
In my case, the part-time maid will do the following:
1. Vaccum and mop whole house
2. Wipe the cabinets
3. Wash my floor mats
4. Iron my clothes (very impt cos I hate ironing :p)
5. Wash the toilets

She will also help to arrange/sort some of my stuff into boxes if she finds them too messy.

I think avg is usu 3 to 4 hours.

Mog,
How many hours does your PT maid spend at ur house?
 
bizz, this china lady I find her okay la, although do things a bit slow, sometimes she can stretch till 4hrs++ just to clean/mop the floor, wash the toilet and kitchen + iron clothes (abt 10 pcs), so end up we pay like $45.
 
Tera, ranging from 3 to 4 hours also, depends whether I got a lot of clothings to iron a not, I also hate ironing. She doesn't wipe my cabinets, only do it once or twice a month coz I don't cook so not as dirty.
 
hello... u girls toking abt disposable panties? I bgt mine last week at watsons. they are now selling at $1.95 per pack of 5 or 7 panties.
 
does anyone know how her bb is lying now? My bb is headdown, but his back is against my back..I'm a bit worried cos I'm told this will lead to a more difficult labour. Do the most of you have bb's lying facing back or facing front (for those whose bbs are already headdown)?
 
cactus...
i cant tell whether bb is facing back or front... or maybe even by her side... but i can always feel her elbow/hand on my belly button area... then the feet on my right side a few inches below my breast.
 
cactus,
i only koe.. my bb is headed dwnwards.. and gynae able to take his face.. meaning he facing out towards the tummy? sometimes i am confused.. if he face inwards my back.. i tink we cant get to see his face one rite?
 
cactus,
i think my bb's back is against my tummy cos the doctor used a baby doll to show the position and she mentioned that bb's face is facing inside which we will not be able to see much during the scan cos of the position.
 
Hi all,

Jus to share i juz bought my nursing bras at Pretty Int'l. they having offer now. Buy 2pc less $10! so total 2pc is only $15.90+$5.90, very worth lo..

Btw, i oso bought the maternity pads but oni got a small SOFY pack with 4pads in 40cm wan..may i ask for those of u who have packed ur delivery bag, how many pads u bring?
 
Cupid, Tera just answered your question...

Tera, you're soo lucky!!!! Gosh!!! I wish my bb will turn like yours leh... really wish hard hard. sigh... continue wishing loh.. what to do?!
 
cactus...
i oso guess one... haha... cos if she is already head down, the jabbing i feel below my ribcage shld be her legs and anything below shld be her hands... :p
 
cactus,
Your bb is head-down now ya? That's already an achievement!
happy.gif
But you are sure his back is against your back? Haven't scanned yet right?
 
fennie,

i contact this person, Marcus, Tel: 63282541 for the family card, and Victor Lee, Tel 93636816 for the debit card. Mayb they can help you too. I met the Victor Lee at the cityhall citibank branch. As for Marcus, he's the family card's incharge person. Try to contact them, if you're interested.
 
cactus,
oh issit.. den i better tell my bb to face inwards.. cos last time he used to facec inwards but i cant see his face.. so i ask him to face out n let me see his face.. so past 2 scans oso outwards.. hahahaha.. i mus start telling him to face in liao..
 
Cupid, yeah.. no joke. hopefully our bbs turn in time before engage... actually even after engage, can still turn outwards but we will feel more painful BH and if still dun turn by start of labour, contractions will be very painful, and will have a lingering lower back pain which would eat into our downtime (ie. the rest intervals in between contractions).
 
aprilmum,
so family card and debit card are 2 different cards?which 1 i need to get the 10% discount, since this will be my 2nd delivery in the same hospital?

thanks
 
fennie,

in order to get the family card, you need to have the debit card first.. then only can apply for the family card. So, we need to apply 2 of the cards. To get 10% discount, we need family card, then pay by debit card in MAH for the payment. The MAH staff told me before when i called them.
 
aprilmum,
debit card means like a atm card, you need to deposit the required amount of money into citibank in order to use the debit card right?

do you know if the discount given is based on the total amount of hospital fees, before or after the medisave deduction?
 
cactus,
U are really very well-read. Thanks for the info. I was just happy that bb was heads-down and din bother abt his back position.
happy.gif


Based on cupid's post, it is still possible for your bb turn to be in the right position and then vice versa, mine might also turn around..hope not!!

Felicia,
Hehe, tonite u can ask gynae for bb's specific position so as to be clearer.

my nex check would be on 25 apr.. jus now felt a few sharp pain.. dunno wat happen.. after seeing the mummy of july 08.. abit scare.. hope my bb can hold till full term.. or at least 37 38 wks..
 
Cupid, if you felt a sharp pain to the side of your leg, it could be a ligament pull. it's common when our tummies get bigger and our ligaments can't adjust in time to the additional weight. If not, sharp pain could also be bb hitting on your bladder esp if it is not empty. don't worry too much k. I'm hoping my bb can come out at 37 weeks.. haha. no later, no earlier. damn demanding mommy.. this one. :p
 
cactus,
wahaha.. the sharp pain is below my abdomen.. my rite bottom.. sharp pain on n off.. for a period of 10mins.. but now no more le..
 
fennie,

actually i never use debit credit before le.. from what the Marcus told me, it's like Citibank will "lend" us certain amount, when we wanna withdraw from the account, we can just write a cheque or from ATM.. then we need to pay back, if not will charge interests. So, he said when i'm going to pay the payment in MAH, remember to bring the cheque book with me, is easier, he said.

hmm.. is after medisave deduction if i'm not wrong. I am trying to contact him too cos i haven't receive my family card yet. Mayb you can check with him for more details.

when is your EDD?
 
cactus,

i dun dare to hope for without epidural le.. hehee.. my "ren" pain level very very low.. a bit only i'll shout liao. hahaha..
 
fennie, normally debit card needs to be linked to a bank account.. so you can only charge to that card up to the amount that you have in the bank at that point in time. But I"m not familiar with the type of card you and april mum are discussing...
 
Tera,

Sure will ask lot of question tonite coz from Riz, i know my next check up will still be 4 weeks later, so must ask many qn so i can see bb longer. hehe.....
But oso provided not many patienta tonite else my gynae will be rush oso.
 
cactus,
Yes, you rem correctly, I am hoping for natural without epi. Hope for all of us (u, me and cupid) to make it!
happy.gif
Ok, we must all talk to our bbies to co-operate.
 
cactus,
i oso quite paisay to say go without epidural. cos i scare if i cant make it in the end.. bery malu.. kekeke.. but i really hope i can make it lor!
 
fennie and cactus,

then you can scroll down and check with the "instant discount" .. under instant discount, you'll see "family privileges" card, click on it.. you'll see the family card. 3 yrs membership, need to pay $40dollars. Then scroll down again, you'll see a picture with wording "health, beauty and wellness", click on it, will see the MAH promotion there.
 
Felicia,
You are in your 30th week? I guess each gynae's practice is different. Mine has shifted to every 2 weeks. So after the 1 mth, yours will become every 2 weeks?

cactus/babycupid
yup above wk 37, u can feel the contraction and its time for delivery...dats is wat i have experience from my last 2 deliveries......not sure also y my both deliveries at wk 37....but bb is normal and healthy....

when i felt the contraction and back pain at wk 37....i called my gynea and told him wat happening. After i told him all the due date and wat i felt b4 calling him....he told me straight to hospital.........
 
Danryan, actually bb is considered full term at 37 to 40 weeks. no problems delivering between 37 to 40 weeks. not considered premature. I'm hoping my bb comes at 37 weeks like yours!
 

i'll be going my next check up on 30apr....so it will be wk34 already....

cactus
my 2nd preggy...my son weight 3.01 kg....and normal delivery w/o epi.....
