hi busybee - need to ask u on the PJs since u did C section.... is it more convenient to have a dress type of PJs or the normal tops and bottoms are ok? I will be doing a C section and worry that the bottom will touch the Csection scar.

thanks

My ML starting from 4 Oct so will last till 23 Jan 09

Juz Us
Yup gotta take the risk lor, at most forfeit last year's leave... what to do?

Anyway I still got loads of leave from this year to use next year.

Letter for government agencies:
I'm working in one but they dun need the letter from gynae... just follow up with the MC from gynae upon delivery to support the form can le

Form is for 12 weeks:
Yes use this form first. I suppose it will only be revised when legislation change in Oct. Anyway we'll still be on leave then so just extend lor. Dunno about other companies, but mine is quite reasonable so no problem lar

 

[lili_fc]

whitepaper,
calculation is correct? 7days x 4wks x 4wks = 112 days?

 

[dimpletot]

<font color="ff6000">My ML starts 2 Oct - after hari raya so we at least dun lugi one public holiday ahahaha. Can't wait! We can chat all day long so we are not bored.</font>

 

[whitepaper]

I'm also bored at work... handed over most of my work and tied up the loose ends to my projects le... so nothing much now since Boss can't give me any new tasks coz I'm popping anytime le...

 

[xxinyingxx]

I just count by weeks lor, 16 weeks. So if I start on a Saturday, I just count to the Friday 16 weeks later. So I start 4 Oct, end 23 Jan 09.

 

[whitepaper]

lili

If you count by days, 112 days is correct (16weeks X 7days).

 

[everafter]

anyone using normal moisturiser to apply on tummy?? my clarins tonic oil finishing soon, but i cant tahan not applying any cos tummy will feel itchy!!

 

[cupidangels]

Juz Us,

Yeah i agree with u, they should just let us clear our leave in peace. But lucky is i can keep my annual leave until next year so am fine even if baby will to pop out earlier, just lugi the public holiday i guess.

Dimpletot,

Hehe i chose to start my ML on 2 Oct too cos i don't wanna waste the public holiday so hope bibi will pop out after that. If not, will lugi the PH.


Okay mommies, am going to take a nap now. Been up since 2am cos baby was having a party in my tummy, can't sleep..... sighs nowadays my dark eye circles are so bad that i look like a Mama Panda if i don't put my makeup on. So tired!!!! Yawwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnzzzzz!!!!!!

Hi Mummies,

Finally can use the PC for a while since my DH rush back to office for an urgent meeting.

First, thank you for all ur encouragement and wishes. Me also hope to drag for 2 more weeks at least.

My gynae was telling me this morning that she will not be surprise if I readmit in next week again for the ventolin drip. Honestly, I hate that medication, very very hard to adapt, cos ur heart beat to race, breathless, flush... last nite almost fainted in the ward and finally reduce the dose. If next rd, the ventolin cannot control the contraction anymore, she will have to take the girls out already. The twins are ready to come out... in fact they are rushing out. Now she asked us to pray 2 things, cervix dun dilate and water bag dun burst.

Meanwhile, lots of bedrest for me. Cannot walk, cannot go shopping, cannot sit in too long. Lied flat on the bed.

Hmm... mmm actually hopsital bag nothing much to packed. Those going csection, no nid bring so many pads... ahahah!!!

 

[bbgoh]

lili
if count by days then must depend ur company working days lor, if u r 5days work de then 16weeks x 5days = 80days
if we take continously whole 16weeks then count by week lor, unless lata u goin to utilies per day then must count base on days left bah eg; u left 4weeks then 4wks x 5days = 20days
i got this idea from MOM website ler, any mummy can corrected me if i m wrong

[bbgoh]

[forest]

Littlebluey,

haha.. no worries lah.. next week when u're back in office.. can ask ur HR lor..

everafter,
ur co. very good.. mine include all the PH.. so i will lugi quite alot of days...

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">re:calculation of ML
Besides Sat &amp; Sun, PHs are also included hor! For government sector, if you are taking your ML at one shot (i remember correctly), is very straight forward, just take 16weeks x 7 = 112days.

Unless you are taking your ML separately, then it could be another way of caculation le.

re:Letter for government agencies
Used to work in one. No letter required. Supporting document for ML => MC issued by gynae</font>.

 

[lili_fc]

HL in relation to pregnancy, will be start of maternity leave liao, that's what my HR said.

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">everafter
Currently, I'm also using the normal moisturiser for my tummy. My stretch mark cream finished le and kept forgetting to buy so decided to use the normal one instead. In fact, Dr Adrian would tell you just to use normal moisturiser and dont need stretch mark cream.

Forest
Finally you appear liao! Was thinking of you just now and wondering where are you cos din "see" you this morning!

Purebliss
Better listen to your gynae and have complete bed rest before your hubby banned you from using Internet. Hahaha! </font>

 

[bbgoh]

mummies
ML need document from gynae or Hospital de huh?

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">lili
Again, this depends on individual company. For some companies, 2 weeks before you start your ML, any illness related to your pregnancy will be considered part of your ML. This is what I heard from some of my frens.</font>

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">bbgoh
Mine was issued by Gynae under "Thomson Women's Clinic". He only gave me my mc on my follow-up check-up after I was discharged from the hospital.</font>
