BBgoh,
Oh no...looks like we have to resign ourselves to the fact we will probably have to do C-sections if nothing changes in two weeks.
Sigh....

bbgoh,
To play safe I think we mummies with low placenta better not walk too much...will be in Wk 31 this week so meaning I still got 1wk+ chance for placenta to move up...really rally hope it does as I really want to go thru natural delivery...
candle,
I also think it's better for u to seek 2nd opinion as blood is important for us right now as we'll be losing even more during delivery...to bleed for so long is just not gd for u...
I've been 'half-squating' when using public toilets...will that actually further lower my placenta?

Hello mummies,
My EDD is end Oct..this is my second bb! Nice to meet all of you here.
Looks like the discussion today is on the rally. Ya, I saw the paper "TODAY"...it says that the maternity leave and most of the benefits are with effect from Jan 2009. I am so sad by it. I thought it will be like 2004, where it will equally benefits the working mum asap! I thought we need that too?!!!

huh? why so confirmed.. so sad!!
I was still hoping ... the todayonline when they refer "come next yr".. it's actually referring to the 6 days FCL and 1 week unpaid infant car leave. becos logical they cannto start immeidate as it's based on calendar year one.
baby bonus and ML should start be starting immediately le for all who are pregnant ma.

forest,
i think i monitor a few more days and see how. reaching my 31st week this coming thurs. and my next check up will only be on sept 4th. but apparantly my gynae said it will be normal and that it will be even more normal if i have to be admitted and discharge out of the hospital.

Purebliss - wow...congrats on the twins!! You delivered them earlier than expected...but reading alittle from this page, I am glad all is fine with the two little ones! Boys or girls or double happiness? How old is the elder one?
Diane - I dun think they are penalising us. I just feel that they need to have a cut-off date, somewhere. But just cant understand why Jan 2009 and the news is realeased now?
I am also hoping to have the extra 4 weeks, desperately! Being a second time mum, I have another part to take care, the emotional part of introducing a sibling to the young toddler. And yes, if you ask me, as a first time mum...you need that desperately too, esp if you are more prone to BF!

Welcome all the new mothers who juz joined our thread!!
Feeling very tired these days. Always wake up in the middle of the nite to pee and then cant sleep. Very xinku. Panda eyes @_@ is getting worst.
RE: Maternity Benefits
Initially got high hopes on it that govt will take care of us but.. then now haiz.. a bit sianz. I tink the leave doesnt really help a lot coz many Bosses might not be happy and in turn end up employ guys rather than female workers.
My fren ( a lady) went for an interview (tink its juz before when MM Lee mentioned abt enhancing maternity benefits). Her interview went smoothly and already got high chance of getting the job, the HR dept called her and told her actually she fared very well for the position and in fact she passed the interview but HR mentioned," too bad, u are not a guy. If u happen to have male frens who wants to look for such job, do let us know." ( and the call came after the newspaper report that Govt is gg to enhance maternity benefits)
Hey come on, everything is not finalise by the govt and companies are already turning away female workers. That's unfair. My fren is single and not yet married.
