rue, that time i drank water after delivery and used tap water wash face hor, suddenly got very bad water retention. fingers swell up legs became trotters.

so this time, i am going to ask my husband to bring along red date tea for me and also bring a water filter sachet to put into basin to wash face instead.
very scared of the swelling.
also going to bring along the float for my ass, the other time bought from tmc cost me $15!

jocelyn, got to bring pj to hospital cos i dun think they have anything for you to change into.
i not bringing the button down ones, i bringing those with strap then when i breastfeed just pull down the strap. easier. keke.
but will be wearing cardigan over. scared cold.
i bought my pj from CK, cheap ar. less than 8 bucks each.

Jocelyn,
i'm not bringing my own pyjamas... using the hosp instead...

dun hav menstrual like cramp.. but, always got pulling kind of pain on my lower abdomen.. think tummy too heavy... lots of braxton hicks too....

Jane,

[shirlin_h]

sporty: Pls help me find the list ok? I need to knwo wad to pack for hospital bag lehz.. I'll be delivering at TMC lor...

Heard someone talking abt the baby bonus.. The $4000 is given in 4 equal instalments of $1000 into your nominated bank account, over 18 months from your child’s birth..as for the $6k co matching..you all have 6 yrs to contribute so for those who dun have 1 shot to put in the $6k, can slowly take your time lor.. You can consider taking up th CDA Extra from OCBC..this CDA Extra lets u contribute a fixed amount from your account every mth and u can stop as n when u want..Also, the interest is slightly higher.. 1.2%p.a... Anotehr thing to take note is the tha govt contribution do not come in immediately de..it'll only come in the 3rd week of the following mth that u deposited the money... Hope this helps!

 

[OctBB]

Sporty,
Ya....ya.... Tempting then u should really come!!! Haha...U too ar, saintbaby... Dun juz stir ppl!

saintbaby, lemme think think la...mc must "cultivate" mood one...kekekke

 

[saintbaby]

shirlin
ask u ah.. for the matching dollar right, let's say i put in 3k initially then the gov match dollar to dollar.. den i can only put in a remaining 3k right? doesn't matter when i put in as long as before my child turns 6? in total can onli put in 6k right?

hope doesnt sound confusing..

 

[piggym]

Shirlin,
What documents is needed to open the CDA account?
Child birth cert?

 

[shirlin_h]

Another thing to take note.. Ask all your hubbies to not go to the bank to open the CDA account 1st.. We'll be given a Pink(BB2) n Green form tgt with OCBC n Stan Chart CDA Application form after our delivery.. All we need to do is to fill up the Green form..bring the Pink form to the bank that u want to deposit the Cash Gift into to verify den fill in the CDA application form (depends on which bank u want) den just mail everything back to MCYS in the self addressed envelope... The CDA account will be opened for u by the bank and once done, a Welcome Letter will be sent to you...
