meebaby,
Can drink liang tea but maybe restrict to at most twice a week and dont drink those that are extremely liang like ling yang. My colleague was sharing with me that she had avoided all liang stuff until she got overheated and kena the "100 days" cough in 3rd trimester. Quite terrible as pregnancy medicine are quite mild so more difficult to recover.
Me now having a cough.. just started today. waiting to go see doc in 10 mins.

recently spoken to my cousin (guy) who had female subordinates. he commented that his employee came up wif proposal that she cleared 12 weeks in a row, and remaining 4 weeks shall break up as 1 day off a week, meaning she works only Monday to Thursday, but my cousin declined.
he prefers her to clear 1 week in a row in a month rather than 1 day a week in 12 months. i m the first preggie in my Company, so far no fixed rules or policies to how i can clear the ML, so got to tink how to make the best out of it. Any suggestion anyone?

Finally finished watching little nyonya...ending abit disappointing cos alot of questions still left unanswered...haha...
wintertime - i'm a bit confused too...but like wat elina said, tink we are entitled to 16 calender weeks (thus including sat/sun/ph) in between...I have to counter check on the details with my colleague before applying. If conditions need be, i may consider starting my ML before my date of delivery...tho i very much want to work till the day i deliver...

wintertime,
The statutory requirements is that we got to clear at least 8 calendar weeks (including sat and sun) in a row, which means we would lugi any PH inbetween. After that, if employee agree for us to take flexible leave, we can split it up and have 8 * 5 days (if based on 5 working days week) = 40 days to take any time. This one would be count PH/Sat/Sun. However, if we choose to take all 16 calendar days in a row, we would have to forgo the PH/Sat/Sun inbetween.
Actually, looking at our EDD, we would kena 3 PH during the 16 weeks. Think we take a lot of leave liao also dont want to ji jiao with them. I would think dont bother abt the PH and take the leave according to what's best arrangement for u that ur employer would allow.
For me, i going to US with bb, so not only taking 16 weeks ML but also going to take the unpaid infant care leave as well as annual leave to top up for another 7 weeks leave after ML. Quite a good year it is to me i feel... 2009... new family member plus dont really need to work.. hee..

Maternity Leave
for me, i will be taking the full 16 weeks one short. i think like this will be good for both my office and myself. if i take partial, say 12 weeks first, i dun think it will be easy to take the remaining 4 weeks subsequently due to the heavy workload. on top of that, for this year, i still have more that 50 days of leave, and i can only carry forward 28 days to next year 2010. so if i cannot clear my annual leave, plus still have 6 days of childcare leave, i might as well once and for all clear the 16 weeks. i think my boss will also prefer this so that he just get someone to cover me for the full period of 16 weeks.
this is just my case.
if i am the boss, i dun think i will approve my staff to apply one day off every week also. it's too disruptive. just my 2 cents worth.

pinksorbet,
ya the ending like not very fantastic hor..seems like they rushing to end the show like that..heehee
re: ML
personally, i prefer to clear all 16 weeks at one shot due to nature of my work.
re: breastpump
I saw Isetan having 15% on medela pumps. Those interested can go take a look.
re: wet wipes
have any mummies bought them yet? Isetan has this super value pack for pigeon 82*6 @ $19.50. The normal value pack is 82*3 @ $10.50. There are so many brands and types. which one to buy?

jtho,
wa...how come u got so many days of leave? u in civil sector ah?
asura,
i also think the prob of me not working after seems quite high as my work requires me to travel overseas for long period of time. Doubt it will be good for me to continue with my current job. So may have to quit..maybe lobo till 2010 then start finding work again.

you're lucky since your boss is ok with it... i dun think my boss will like it. example today i'm on leave, i already received 2 sms from him to do work early in the morning. then i still have to sms him back to tell him i am on leave and already got appt. i have a very forgetful boss. whenever i'm on leave, he forgets. then i got to get my staff to help me do the work that he wants done...

missycandy, the class we attended last week was a bit boring actually...
after you left, the trainer actually told us what to do when in labour pain, end of the session she showed a video on the natural delivery. Before you left, you told me you saw the video on delivery at the start of the session as well? dunno if it was the same thing... then there was a hospital tour, but i did not join in as we went before already.

jtho,
no leh.... 16 weeks + 7 weeks is only 5.75 months... so sad.. cos 1 calendar month is actually = 4.5 calendar weeks.. but better than nothing.. half of 2009 gone and i get paid for the whole time other than the 6 days no pay infant care... hee... and when i am back.. i shall take my 6 days childcare leave in nov/dec... sounds good hor? hee hee

yeah, today lunchtime, hubby and me went to a japanese restaurant at valley point. it is more like a fusion between western and japanese. the service is fantastic and the food is good too! for six course meal, it is only about $40++ per person. total we paid $93+ and we are talking about fine dining.... restaurant is called DOZO restaurant. can try if you have any celebration with hubby.

i dun even get the chance to clear 1 or 2 days a month. boss is very demanding. but one thing is that sometimes when i need to run some errand, he will let me go without having to take leave cos i always work late for him, till about 7 or 8pm. then sometimes even work on weekends when there's an event. so give and take lor... but after bb comes, i dun think i can work late anymore...
asura
aiyo, 5.75mths is almost half year, right? not too bad lar, huh? and 6 days in nov/dec, sure sounds good!

Well, for wat i think i scare the wipes will get dirty or rust or dry up without the box.(this is wat i think) Want to use then open the cover if not using just close the cover more well kept.
My friends they also brought the box so i follow.

candace, is it on bfeeding??? OMG, must make sure my hubby gets enough sleep before gng for the lesson... he has a male colleague who always ran home during lunch to help the wife to squeeze her milk.. mm.. so to me, bfeeding sounds like a very tough job man, worse is, recently i heard that they bought 6-7 types of pumps, **faint**.
consulted one of my friends who just went back to work after maternity leave. she told me no need to buy the pump until after confinement. reason is during the 1 month confinement, your bb always wif you and you can feed as and when she needs it. But to be on the safe side, we need to set aside FM just in case bb doesnt drink enough from bfeed.
so let's jia you!!! i wish i can bf my bb for at least 1 year!!
