[jokris]

so sad... my EDD is 25th Dec! One week away to 1K cash! to give birth earlier we are able to control, but to delay the due date.. it is impossible!

 

[juzyounme]

mumslove - try tahan another day.

Jessie - i see. did u buy recently? coz bugis one now should call BHG. wondering if bishan BHG has, so that i don't need to go bugis.

 

[jowinbaby]

Hell, money dun have, maternity leaves all dun have..

Juzyoume, how to tahan for 1 week? haiz

 

[girl80]

Can we appeal or write to REACH or PM Lee? This is really not fair to us as those EDD on 1 Jan 09 is also preg now. We are also contributing to the population growth right?

Today is my birthday yet this is the kind of present given by govt, i feel so damn sad now.

 

[jessiechow]

SOBS!!! luthadel where did u see the news that it only starts on jan 09? my EDD is dec 20 so 10 days away...

 

[juzyounme]

kRiStiNe/jowinbaby - my colleagues said since it's 1st pregnancy, usually won't come out earlier than EDD. some babies even come out 1 week or 2 weeks later. so they tell me to endure. haiz, i don't think i can tahan so long, 1 day also v sian. i don't have the patience.

Jessie - ok, i go check out.

 

[fabbie]

[winnie171175]

[summer1979]

Hi mummies,

Yep its so unfair!!! How cum tis time round it start off date so far as compare to the 1st implement of bb bonus scheme.
should at least start say 1st dec 2008 mah.. alamak push until 1st Jan'09. Really sickening lor.Esp now ecomony doing so bad,everything so ex.. we missed out the 1k cash benefit+6k dollar matching+additional maternity leave..all these really mean so much to all mummies.

do hope the govt can do something.
