Its so funny, where did they come out with the date of 17 aug? ITs a sun???
I think those who gave birth to their babies in aug will feel cheated. To be fair, they should be given to those that are currently enjoying their ML prob backdated to June.
Personally, the money is additional but th 4th month ML will be a good one cos it gives us more time to bond with our child.

btw, came across this website which finds it rather good. http://www.newborn.com
Hope mummies can find some of their questions answered from the website cos I did.

kel, yah! i was so shocked to hear the news as i did not read phyl's post to listen to the news. really happy!
val, edd may be considered as well. perhaps those of you whose edd on 17 aug but delivered earlier can try writing in together to mcys with gynae letters as support. however, that may hv to depend on whether ur company wants to give or not. if u r in civil service, they will likely support.
17 aug was the date of the ND rally, when PM Lee made this announcement. though the english rally was only telecast on 18 aug, but officially the news was announced on 17 aug.

My EDD on 14 Aug. But I delivered on 3 Aug. Why didn't the govt backdate to 1 Aug?
very disappointed.
read this
It urged employers to let staff claim the extra maternity, infant-care and childcare leave, and to give enhanced protection to pregnant employers from Aug 17. 'If they do so, the Government will pay for its share of the additional leave to be taken,' the statement said.
http://www.straitstimes.com.sg/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_270724.html
does that mean still subject to ur employer's approval?
hehe, btw singapore motherhood was being mentioned

Hi Jgal,
Sorry to intrude on this thread. I give birth in end of May (1st pregnancy and is a twins) and currently still enjoying my maternity leave. I totally agree that we should help our 1st child fight for the CDA. My twins now only 2mth+ old and I think the elder one deserve the CDA as well together with her younger sister and those babies born after 17th Aug. Let me know if the petition goes through.

f the child’s estimated date of delivery (EDD) is on or after 1 Jan 2009(revised to 17/08 now), but is born prematurely before 1 Jan 2009(revised to 17/08 now), parents may write to MCYS to check his/her eligibility for the Baby Bonus. They should include the doctor's certification on the EDD and copies of the following documents:
a) Birth certificates of all children;
b) Citizenship certificate of all children (if applicable);
c) Marriage certificate; and
d) NRICs or passports of both parents

avocado, that is good news! those of you whose EDD is on 17 Aug and after should write in to check for eligibility. but be prepared to have another war to fight with your company HR as they may not recognise it.

hi all mummies & MTBs
Was discharged yest & so far i think the latching on looks positive & no sore nipples yet *cross fingers & toes*
Am very thankful for my hb for standing by me during the labour.. It was really long & it didn't help tt my ger was not engaged when the labour started. Set me into anxiety when gynae mentioned tt i might have to go thru c-section..
So here's my 'brief' labour story...
18 Aug (Mon)
12MN - Crampy feelings came in & was at regular intervals
2am - Crampy feelings persisted & so we decided to do some last min packing for admission
2.30am - Left for Mt A
Ard 3am - Reached Mt A's delivery suite & did the BP reading, CTG strap...
4+ am - Started to use the laughing gas
5 - 6am- Contractions became unbearable & nurse recommended me to start on epi since I am oredi intending to use it
6+ am - Anesthetist came & gave epi, but it DIDN't work on me.. Nurse upped the dosage
8+ am - Epi started to work, FINALLY
2+pm - Epi didn't work anymore, could feel the contractions & couldn't up the dosage *bleah*
So i decided to tahan & also give the laughing gas a miss, otherwise too drowsy to push
4pm - Nurse checked that I was abt 9cm dilated *phew* But head still not low enough
414pm - Puked from Epi
430pm - Gynae came & checked and asked me to try pushing so that head can go lower
Pushed & pushed, but didn't use the right stomach muscles
5+pm - Gynae used forceps to assist in delivery.. They look horrifying
525pm - By God's grace, Bb Ashley was finally delivered
To all mummies who have yet to pop, hang in there k? U wld be surprised when bb just decides to make his/her way into this worl
jvenus
Take a break fr work & get rest & prep for bb's arrival.. U deserve it! *jiayou*

Luckily your baby decided to come out naturally without hving to go thru C-sect.
avocado,
Do you knw if the 4th mth ML is paid by govt or the employer and if applies to self-employed? Cos I'm self-employed, so if paid by govt maybe I still can write in to appeal.
Megan / M2B,
For the Enfalac bulk purchase, I wana get a few tins. How/who should I contact or go about it? Or just PM Megan?
M2B,
Your gal really v guai... can sleep thru the night. My gal yday slightly better, she woke up 2.30AM to feed then slept at 4AM til 8AM. At least only awake for 1.5hrs, better than previous night when she was awake for 3 hrs.
I think your bb got milk rash, think shd go off by itself, just wipe the face with water. My bb's milk rash also kinda cleared after a day or so.
Mummies,
BTW thought I'll share this article and link which is really useful:
http://www.kellymom.com/
http://www.breastfeeding-basics.com/html/waking_a_sleepy_baby.shtml
I shd've read up earlier on this. Now atleast I see my milk supply coming in, pumped out more this morning. Gives me hope.
For other mummies who are bfeeding. Jiayou!
Hope this helps those mummies who have just given birth!
congrats!!

Praise God you and baby are doing ok despite the long labour.
Jia you on breastfeeding ..
Mommies , anyone total breastfeed your baby?
I TBF day and nite and my girl can drink like 120ml per feeding (I know bcoz CL gave her my expressed BM sometimes).
And she's only 2 weeks old. Wonder if its too much, but she seems contented tho after her 120ML.
and wanna check also: How much is the angpao u usually give to CL ?
And to mommies who has elder child: Recently I become impatient with my son because he wants my attention (more than before his sister came).. I feel guilty, becoz I know he behaves that way becoz he misses the undivided attention that he used to get.
How to handle this matter? some more he had fits (due to high fever)few days ago followed by flu so dr said he cant stay near baby nor sleep in the same room with her.
So when I want to BF my girl, my son wants to follow me.. I have to ask him to leave the room
.
I pity my son but dont know what to do
