Dolphin> Yeah....am not ruling out possibility in getting Megan's maid to train, man!
Like Yuki says, sometimes I think agency does have a part of play.... coz it depends on the sources where the agency get their maids from actually, whether they do the ground work of interviewing them for the 1st round, etc....

Dolphin, I am planning to get a helper and was quoted agency fee $488. Wondering if this is the market rate or kana chop.
After looking thru the sharings, I better set the house rule and expectation when the helper comes in. Need to practice close 2 eyes n deep breathing! Haha

haha luvbabe...wow you all see too highly on my maid liao lah...
The agent i got my maid is actually a filipino herself. She will find maids fm her hometown, usually those maid she knows more a less know their background. My agent knows my maid's family, so anything she will also feed back to my maid's mom on her well being. Last time we were in the same church, anything not too happy, i voice out to my agent then she will so call talk to her. but now a bit diff cos my agent move to another church and my maid get to know more frens and has been teaching her more things (bad influence). So on and off I need to do small talk to my maid. Cos she should know how good her life is wt me compare to others...

jessietan - Dr. Lee is the favourite amongst nurses or patients? LOL. She's really very sweet, so is her nurse. Yeah, I think SH Mamas organizes this bumps & babes gathering where you can get to know other MTBs. Once a month I think. It'll be a good start for you to gain some insights.
Wow liew Yuki, Lucky Plaza ah..high end shops..u go Bt Timah plaza there, there got tonnes of maid agency, u walk past & all maids will bow to you...when i first go there, i felt so uncomfortable, because all stands up to greet u and staring at you..

Hi Dolphin,
May I ask if ur son was born at 32 weeks and birth weight abt 1.5 kg?
Reason i ask becos i'm in my week 24 now. During my detailed scan ard week 22, the dr found out that my cervix is shortening. Last week, at week 23, i went for a procedure called cerclage to stitch the cervix to prevent premature labour. Although now the cervix has been stitch up, I'm still very worried that i'll go into premature labour. Not sure what is the bill size if bb born at 32wks @ 1.5kg n need neonatal care.
If your son is borned at 32 weeks, can u share with me youe experience? TIA!

TYL, good luck on the new job. Hope you are adjusting well. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Joy, glad your boy has recovered. My gal is getting more and more clingy to me. Will cry with real tears everytime I go to toilet at MIL house even though she has Ye Ye, Nai Nai, Daddy and maid to keep her company. Faint! Is your boy like that too?

Joy, I see, my gal is not so clingy once we come home eg. I can take a 20mins shower in the MBR and she can play with Daddy in the living room. No problem. Sometimes, I wonder if she's acting extra 'manja' in front of others. Or maybe she just doesn't like me to lock the toilet door which I must do if at ILs house mah.

wah, haha, like sponge like that huh!
Melody
Ouh, I got mine on my fingers for #1! My gynae gave a little cream to ease the water retention but I hated it as it was sticky. So I just let it be. Miraculously, water retention disappeared almost immediately after birth!

TYL, that's good. I wonder how it'll be like if I go back to workforce after a few years of being SAHM. Sure very kancheong, haha.
Restless Leg Syndrome
Smalldreams, I had restless leg syndrome for this pregnancy too. It's different from leg cramps where it is painful. RLS is the feeling that you must keep moving your legs if not will have the tiggling, restless, 'sng sng' feeling. It happened to me when I'm trying to sleep at night during 2nd trimester but last week it came back again. Very irritating cos can't fall asleep.
I surfed online and there were a few remedies:
1) Avoid caffeine cos it makes it worse
2) Avoid reading or using laptop on bed. RLS may be due to poor circulation in the legs so go to bed only to sleep.
3) Cold medicine makes RLS worse (I had cold last week so RLS came back)
4) You may be iron deficient, take more iron supplements or pig liver.
So far, I've
