Faith, nowadays Malay families r earning alot too. I think it's more on wat lifestyles the parents want to lead n wat the parents want to give to yr kids. My neighbour has 3 kids n surviving on her hubby's single income as driver. She dun gv them branded milk powder like friso, similac when they r young - she gv them nespray. Her kids dun go kindergarden too. For me, infant formula milk is necessary n so is kindergarden education. I can do away with shopping n other personal expenses but not deprived of giving wat my child needs.

You're right, Charmaine, about the things we want to give to our kids. I think there are more affluent chinese families, and hence they are also more concerned with giving the child the best they could.

To sum up my afternoon trip, the divination lot very accurate and it's a good lot [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] and I managed to eat my waffle but not steamboat. That was because I was so tired that I fell asleep on my friend while eating the waffle. Then the giddy spell kicks in.

Ω Judy : For a moment, I thought you are working as a punter for the gamblers. I just can’t imagine how you can work until that ungodly hour. I think if I am you, I think I would have drop dead on the table. And are you still in the office now?
Ω pootz : Haha .. Queen, I can’t say much on that. We’re just some common folks and not like those HK celebrities or tycoons where they need heirs for descendants. Those women are the queen. Did you see Cecilia Cheung’s confinement meal list? I see until I salivate.
Ω evian : I stay in Simei thus I need to apply for the PV. I wasn’t a alumni in St. Hilda’s. Anyway, the primary schools that my hubby and I both attended are closed down alr.. Haha.. Most probably, I will get the school bus for my girl then. There aren’t much good schools around Simei area. And being 2xKS parents, we want our girl to start in a school with good influence and foundation.
The age gap was 4. But 2 years ago, I was pregnant but miscarried. So 2 years later, out popped another. I do agree with you with additional child, it’s going to bring a lot of joy to the family and lesser “attention” from my husband because he likes to nag at me. So with a baby, he will focus more on the 2nd child.. hehe..
Ω charmaine : No wonder, he’s very stressed now. I remembered last time when my hubby quarreled with me, he mentioned that he didn’t like to come home to see my crying or having black face. And I ended up crying even louder.. Don’t worry, your husband’s temper will gradually change when he gets older. Anyway, every hsehold has their problems. I see you good, you see me good.
Ω audrey : I think you better don’t try to intake food when you are in the car. I tried that a few times and ended up vomiting out all contents upon reaching the office.
Ω baywater : Disney princess sounds familiar. I think you can get it at Swensen.. You may try bengawan solo. I think more varieties. Below is the link.
http://www.bengawansolo.com.sg/creamcakes_kids_disney.aspx
Ω fiona : I understand what you mean. I wanted to get a maid too but my mil doesn’t like it. Sigh.. my husband’s side all disagreed and even to the extent, when my parents see me suffering from the anxiety of rushing home to do hsework, they even offered to pay for the maid and all her expenses. And because of this, situation got very ugly. Many years back, he mentioned if we are having the 2nd child, he will engage a maid. But until now, not a single word from him. I'm still waiting..
Btw, this HR girl you are referring to is your HR manager or executive? Have you disclosed you pregnancy yet?
When I see that a lot of you guys gain weight during pregnancy, how envious I am. Because of my gestational diabetics, my diet was strictly controlled. I only gained 10 kg and lost it within 2 weeks after delivery. Breastfeeding helps as it helps the womb to contract back faster to the normal size and you guys won’t believe how my stomach looked back then. Stomach usually is flat but mine totally caved in and it looked very anorexic. I think partly I was very stressed back then, because of the problems between my MIL and CL. Now, I am thinner than my pregnancy days. So I tell myself, this time round, die die must gorge myself until I gain at least 15 kg.

Dear ladies, thanks for ur concern [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I'm back to work today after resting for 3 days. Still a bit of discharge but it's much lesser than before.
I really envy sahm whom can take care of your children during their first few years. It sure is an enjoyable n fulfilling experience to see then from crying babies to first few steps n then to talking toddler. I certainly have miss too much of my first son development but I'm glad he tells me he love me everyday. Now that tge second baby is on the way, n my maid will b taking care of this baby, I'm sure he or she gonna b sticky to her. Sigh. Really don't like this feeling but I have way too much commitment to give up my job.

sweetie,
I shed all my weight from breast feeding and not eating well during my ML. I was 51kg before preggy, end of pregnancy around 68kg. But who knows, i suffered from very serious water retension as my baby was pressing onto my bladder. And u know what, I was shocked to see at least >10 pkts of Normal Saline went into my body without any urine. When I went into full GA, my whole body puff up due to the Normal Saline and I really look like a PIG.. All my body is so swollen even my eye-lid. My dh couldn't recognise me just 1.5 hours of post-operation. I had to wear my dh slipper during discharge. I was 76kg after delivery. Can you imagine how sad I was. Everyday cried during CF, but I almost lost all during my 1st month due to no appetite, and not enough of rest.
If u asked me, I find malay massage not very useful. Bcse I went through it, and I didn't shed any kg during the 7 sessions. I started shedding again after I stopped my massage and only when my mom personally sponge me with very very hot onion, ginger water for 1 month until all her finger nails cracked.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] (Now I feel like crying thinking of how wei da she is)
Now I'm abit tramatise by what I've been through that I worried everyday whether will it be the same for this delivery.. Boo Boo.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

Vivian, glad to hear tht you r getting better with enough rest. My girl is taken care by my sil n initially I thot she will stick with my sil but you dun worry. End of the day, your child will be closest to you.
U just make sure when u come home, spend quality time with ur son n hv ur maid to do hse chores. At night, does ur son sleep with u?
I want to get a part time cleaner also tough as my mil dun like it, let alone mention a maid. So I always rush my hsework and so tht I can spend more time with my girl

Fiona, hv u try to let the HR manager knw abt ur pregnancy? Anyway, u can try to ask the manager to keep the pregnancy a secret until ur pregnancy a bit stable before disclosing. But they hv to inform the management. Sorry, I didn't refer back to ur earlier post and if I m not wrong, are you the lady who just started work only a few months ago?

Morning all, TGIF!
My friend also said BF is the best way to slim down. Well, for a start, I didn't think she put on a lot of weight during her pregnancy lah, but after she gave birth, she said she could eat all and whatever she wants without gaining weight.

Fiona: Your child is in childcare now?
Neongoby: I think infant care is still cheaper than hiring a caretaker. My fren is passing her baby to a neighbour to care for her after her maternity.. And it costs $700 per month. I think infant care after subsidy is around $600 per month.. Not sure..
Just did a research on childcare, gonna cost me $400 per month after subsidy lorz.. Getting the centre at Sembawang shopping centre area.. Need to pay for school bus somemore.
Felpoo: St Hildas is a good school. It would be good if you could enrol your girl there. Taking school bus is not an issue. I used to stay in Simei too and was ferried to school via school bus. When your gal is older.. You can entrust her to take the public bus by then..
4 years gap should be ok too la.. My bro and I are 3 years apart. Hopefully you get a boy this time. Great combination!
Mummies, do keep us posted when you learnt of your babies gender ya.. I heard from my frens some gynaes can tell gender (esp boys) as early as 11 weeks.
Dual income: Agreed that dual income is essential in today's society.. My current income and hb's income alone is just nice to cover for our monthly expenses and some savings.. Especially with a car in tow and childcare on the way.. We need to rely on bonuses for extra stuff like holidays and stuff.. Cant imagine the additional expenses with no 2 on the way..
Cant afford to quit my job at any point in time now.. Even though I cant see my daughter several times a week. Or we need to keep ferrying her from 1 house to another.. but its still better than me giving up my job.. Cant afford it at the moment..

Fiona - your HR is not professional at all, how can they go and tell the whole company you are pregnant?
Valerie, actually it is good that you have appetite to eat, but don't eat so much maggie mee hor. Maybe you can try drinking milk just b4 you go to sleep, then you won't wake up in the middle of the night to look for food?

@Amazing Miracle: After eating I can only sleep back at 2 plus, then 6 plus have to wake up. I'm so tired~~~ =( Oh, the day before my hubby cooked tom yam maggi mee cos I really crave for the tom yam. Haha.. Then last night when I was awake he happened to be cooking pasta. Haha! Right timing hor? =p
Oh my sister-in-law had this Chinese lady to massage her tummy for her. 10 sessions. And she said can already see the effect on the 1st session. Cos after massaging she'll wrap something around your tummy. So I guess the heat & sweating will cause the fats to burn off. Hehe.. I'm going to get that lady to massage for me too after I give birth. Heh.

Valerie, I ate curry maggi mee yday. I tell you the taste and smell was divine! But eneded up with indigestion. It makes thing worse today when I woke up. Feel like puking.
Faith, I wouldn't want to go and worry sick myself. Does your friend knw you are pregnant? If so, she will understand as she herself was pregnant with child before thus she will know the risks.
Fiona, nowadays HR Dept ppl very terrible. Not very pro. anymore. You tell them something, they can help u to spread like wildfire. My HR here lagi worse. They can tell other colleagues who are very close to them, what is the salary their dept. ppl is taking.
BPC, same here. I stop wearing all the dress pants and dresses as I cannot stomach the tightness. Dun knw whether is pyschological or what. Wear too tight feel like vomitting.

eviangal - i told my hubby last nite that i want to stay at home to look after my bb for the first year, he is not tat agreeable cos we are really comfortable with our current dual income lifestyle, he is concerned about savings for our retirement, our child's education, insurances. If i cannot get back my current pay after i rejoin the workforce and get a much lower pay, can i accept? sigh... a bit sad after hearing but i guess that's reality lor.
anyway, on a positive side, i downloaded the My Baby Lite last night, it says i will be getting a ger ger.....let's see [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

@Neongoby: Ya, but I can't rest well by keep waking up to eat. =/ But actually also good lah. Train me. Next time baby wake up in the middle of night I also can wake up easily. Haha! =p Milk helps?? But I don't like milk, maybe I can try chocolate milk instead. Hehe.. Btw, my friend send both her baby and child to the same school. The school has both infant care and childcare. She said after government subsidy it's around 680 for the baby and around 550 for the child for whole day service..

Valerie - i think milk at least keeps u full, gives u some calcium too [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
May I know which school did your friend send her baby to? I am trying to do some search, those that i found, whole-day infant care is about $1500 per month, luckily got govt subsidy...

Fiona, think ur HR person's EQ not very high ;p even though she is not married/hvn't been pregnant before, it's not very nice to make public announcement mah.. basic courtesy leh.. such things usu comes from the pregnant women's own mouth mah....
Neon, Amazing, felpoo, the host is actually my bro-in-law.. they don't know abt my pregnancy yet. HB and I decided I won't be gg, but hb will go lah.. to show face hahah! Afterall, his family lah, not so nice for both of us not to go...

Ladies,
i am also in dilemma of whether quit from my current job or not.
There is nobody to help me looking after my child after delivery. Plus my current condition (MS), i really wish to become SAHM yet i have so many commitment now.
My husband is going to further his study this year (commence in Aug) and the course period is about 4 - 5 years time. He is very stressed from his current job yet he daren't to make any move (resign) cos he thinks now the most important thing is to maintain the stability of his income monthly. Really quite heartpain for him.
Whenever i told him that i want to resign, he is very supportive. I really don't know what to do now. Part of me really wish to stay at home everyday, another part tells me to keep going on for the sake of family.
Argh.... headache, headache
