the maternity leave of 16wks are equal to 112days block...
so we mummies lugi in a sense that no makeup for the public holidays/sat/sundays that is in the 112days frame...
girly,

when i took the driving test yrs ago...
heard ppl were talking that if u took afternoon test ...
likely u will not passed cos the tester got quota for the day...
dunno how true...

hi all, with regards to the driving test. I managed to pass it on a sat morning, where the traffic is less heavy. heehee
Quota i dun think it exist. i think it depends on the tester mood. maybe morning mood is better. haahaa

Busy lor , still got to deal with overseas offices. Very stress.
Cloubme
How do you count the 16weeks maternity leave. Because when i go to the website it says eg 8weeks x 5 working days = 40days leave
So i thought is 16 x 5 = 80days leave exclude sat & sun . Includes public holidays that falls on weekdays.
Do let me know cause i thought is 80days only. I don't wan to lugi cause now my company no proper HR liao. So i must know my benefits.

hui chern,
ur cal is based on flex mat leave...
Example: Number of Days that can be taken flexibly
If Mrs Tan is on a 5-day work week, the number of days of maternity leave that could be
taken flexibly is computed as follows:
Number of working days per week x 8 weeks
5 x 8 = 40 days
Thus, she could, after 8 weeks of maternity leave,
i. return to work on a half-day scheme; or
ii. be on a shortened work-week e.g. 2 or 3 days
until the flexible leave of 40 days is exhausted. Whichever form it takes, both the employer
and employee must agree to the arrangement.
<font color="0000ff">if taken full 4 mths at a go = 16wks block...
7*16 = 112days...include sat and sun and all PH
for my #1 only 3mths mat leave
so i took the whole block 12wks at a go so is only 7*12=84 days</font>

Oh.. where'd u get them from? How many pcs do I need for this? Then also need pants right? I'm quite confused with all the types of clothes avail.
1) Got short-sleeved, long-sleeved, sleeveless.
2) Got the button & the tie string type.
3) Got the normal tops vs the buttons at the butt type
4) Got whole pc rather than separate tops & bottoms.
5) Got those that come with feet & w/o.

BB Clothes
No need to prepare clothes for bb in hospital la. They will dress the bb and wrap them up neatly. All diapers, wipes, clothing will be provided. Only need to prepare things for ourselves.
I plan to buy half dozen of smallest size and another half dozen next size bigger. Button in front is easier to change, strings will tend to twirl and entangle after a few wash. Also baby will outgrow the clothes v fast, so no need to buy too many sets. Just that they easily puke their milk, will need a few change.
There is a wholesale shop that sell bb clothes in half dozens quite cheaply. The place is near Guan Yin temple, below one of the HDB blocks.

Re: BB clothes
Yup, agree with Wifey. Baby will be dressed in a top and swaddled in the hospital so no need to bring clothes for bb at all. They will even give special "go-home clothes" for bb to wear when discharged from hosp.
Wifey
Actually half a dozen probably not enough. Babies spit up milk quite often, so you change them at least twice a day. Also there are pee/poop accidents, then BM overflow and leak onto baby, etc etc.
Unless you also let them wear the larger size also, or wash clothes everyday, I don't think its enough leh.
But yah, the string kind is damn troublesome. They move a bit then come off already. Buttons better. Altho I intend to let #2 wear rompers all the way like #1. Protect the tummy lah, cos I get a bit icky about touching the dried up belly cord. Always very scared i'll accidentally make it come off.

oic, din know abt that.
For me is TMC, i dont need to bring anything for bb. Upon discharge, they gave a nice towel-wrap (dunno wat is called). But i vain, brought a pink colour one for my gal when discharged.
The embarrassing thing is after i sign my bb out from nursery rm, bb started to cry, then I realised she poo-ed. Being a first time mother, I din know how to clean and change diaper. Nurses were busy at nursery also. I simply wrap her up and bring her home. When i reached home, first thing I told confinement lady bb need a change and I just looked...ha ha

i see some bb clothes sizes with "newborn" and "0-3mths". Which should we be getting?
jeslyn,
i suggest dun buy too many NB size clothes cause bb outgrown very fast and u won't know what size they should be wearing even they just arrive to the world.
I had 2 friends...their bb not very heavy weighing abt 3kg but they had to wear S size already..then before their full month they switched to M size already...
take my gal for instance...when she's first born, she was only 2.6kg so small..wearing new norn clothes but on her full month she got to wear s size le... just one month...
we dun know how fast or how slow they will grow.. horizontally or vertically...hahaha

Hi mummies,
these days so busy with work, don't have time to post much.
Just wanted to inform first time mummies to prepare booties and mittens to bring to hospital. Most hospitals don't provide.
I also prefer buttons to strings for baby's clothes. Easier to dress up.
If you are getting confinement lady, they will wash baby's clothes everyday so small size clothes don't need many pieces.
Also, I bought 3 pairs of pants from Coosfashion. Now waiting for delivery. Hope they are nice.

yes that's what I thought. Glen E doesn't provide baby's clothes right? Actually I can't remember. I remember I brought booties and mittens. I thought they provide baby's clothes during the stay but you need to bring a set to change him/her into for bringing home plus you also need to bring your own receiving blanket. They only give a Glen E T-shirt as a gift in case you didn't bring.
I heard one of the hosp (TMC or Alvernia) even give a free bathtub.

Yeah! The TMC hooded towel my boy still using now. He like to put the hood on his head then can walk out of the shower without towel dropping onto floor.
Re: BB clothes
Actually what I always feel is, bigger is better than smaller. Big still can wear, just a bit more roomy lor. But too small... jialat liao.
Most of the rompers I bought for my #1 were 3-6 mths. 0-3 mths I think less than 5 pcs.
