purelyz> for me, once my kid 18mths i will send him/her to the childcare which is in my hubby's office building. got special rate. the IFC i saw is about $1.3k for full day and there is subsidy from MCYS which is $600, so still need to pay $700.
dreamz,
if u wan to send ur kid to childcare must be ready for ur kid to fall ill. My boy join childcare in Nov 09, till now he have fall sick for 3x, one time even go A&E due to high fever. He got a few mosquito bites here and there. Some even got swollen. Luckily my hubby co got cover his GP visits. If u plan to send ur 2 mths bb to childcare, a lot of things to consider. Why not go for a nanny near ur blk, at least it 1:1 or at most 1:2 ratio.

Just to contribute:
Vitamin A
While you're pregnant, make sure your diet doesn't include too much vitamin A. You do need some but if too much vitamin A builds up in your body, it can harm your unborn baby. Eating a normal, well-balanced diet should give you all the vitamin A your body needs.
Liver contains high levels of vitamin A, so don't eat:
* liver, and
* liver products such as pâté.
Check with your GP or midwife before you take any high-dose multivitamins or cod liver oil supplements as these may contain vitamin A.

Should a pregnant woman eat liver?
There is some concern about consuming liver during pregnancy. Liver is a good source of protein and is rich in certain vitamins and minerals. These include:
* The B vitamin folic acid, which helps prevent certain birth defects
* Iron, which helps prevent anemia
* Vitamin A, which is needed for normal fetal growth and development
However, in the case of vitamin A, liver may contain too much of a good thing.
Some studies suggest that high doses of vitamin A may cause birth defects. According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of vitamin A for pregnant women is 2,565 IUs (international units) per day (7). In a 1995 study, women who took more than 10,000 IUs of vitamin A daily (nearly 4 times the amount recommended by the IOM) in the first two months of pregnancy had more than double the risk of having a baby with birth defects (8). Other studies have suggested that doses under 30,000 IUs daily probably do not cause birth defects, but the lowest dose that may cause birth defects is unknown (9).
The body makes its own vitamin A, when needed, from substances such as beta carotene, which is found in yellow and green vegetables. This raw material for the vitamin is completely safe and healthy during pregnancy. However, much of the vitamin A consumed is the preformed vitamin (retinol) which, in excessive amounts, may cause birth defects. Preformed vitamin A is found in many vitamin supplements and some foods, including meats, eggs, dairy products and fortified breakfast cereals.
Liver is the only food that provides very high amounts of vitamin A. For example (7):
* A 3-ounce serving of beef liver may contain 27,000 IUs.
* A 3-ounce serving of chicken liver may contain 12,000 IUs.
A pregnant woman who eats liver regularly may consume enough vitamin A to pose a risk to her baby.
Though it is not proven that eating liver causes birth defects, the safest approach is for pregnant women to minimize their consumption of liver. A pregnant woman also should be sure that her multivitamin or prenatal supplement contains no more than 5,000 IUs of preformed vitamin A. Some prenatal vitamins contain no preformed vitamin A, substituting beta carotene or omitting vitamin A entirely. She should not take any vitamin A supplements beyond that amount (10).

chicky,
thx for sharing with us! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] i'm sure mtbs who currently consumed liver will find this article of interest.
so, i went to see my gynae last evening. dr. woody did a scan for me & for the first time, we managed to see bb moves about. bb looks like he/she is performing water acrobatics in the belly. lol. CRL is 4.7cm and the scan puts me at 12wks1day?! it even shifts my edd fwd to 29jul!! but i think sth is not quite right with the scan. just 10 days ago, i'm at 9wks6days and even if my estimated wks and edd is based on the current size of bb, i read fr julymtb thread that those at 11wks+, the bb's CRL is ard 4.8cm and those ard 12wks+, CRL is 5-6cm+. in this case, my bb seems way too small at 12wks leh. really beats me!
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4652184&l=d20c71735d&id=601802288
also dr. woody asked whether i want to take blood and i asked for what. he said its for Hep A/B & i said din the oscar test alr incl blood test for Hep A/B alr?? he said its different. hmmm... so in the end, he took blood fr me, took a while for him to find the right vein, ended up with hugh bruises on my hand after the deed. >_<
furthermore, as this blood test is considered non-routine hence not included in his antenatal package, were asked to pay $38.
and i think dr. woody got so sick of seeing me & my hb every now & then, he cancelled my scheduled appt on 26jan and asked me see him on 12feb instead. @#$%&

alibaba> i was thinking of not taking the full 4 months at 1 go as my company has alot of things gg on during Oct to Dec period. i dun feel comfortable getting a maid to look after, after reading all those cases that happened before. cos a new maid you nv know how they are like. if my house is ready by then then at least can get my mil to stay with us awhile until the baby is older then send to childcare.
