Indo Maid...

 
Bb rabit : I brought Josh back to Jkt when he was 1 month old. I got the clearance from his pd n since it's shirt distance, only 1.5 hour flight so it's okay. Btw I think if u see gp he can't help u much with the medication, gp always ask pregnant mum to refer to gynae for some medicine. Unless it's a common flu etc



2ks : oh ya under 2 still under the infant rate



Yvonne tan : I still don't have the heart to send my son to ic yet, that's why I choose maid



Rach : mine is Indonesian, cheaper then Filipino.

 
Rach, so far the fees are ok.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] so long u feel the face is pleasant can liao.. haha dun find one u see le always wanna scold one.. i was quite lucky i gt my maid before their salary increase lor..

Gd morning~



Starfruit12, ya i bought it during the high, heh..but when you need to buy you need to buy la, high low also no choice.

I also like Donnie, but I like Jet Lee more. Hoho..

 
Cynthia, my gynae n hairdresser cum fren both asked me not to do it cos rebond use alot of chemicals, more than perm n dye. So guess i can only cut and stick with my permed n messy hair.



Lin

 
Morning mummies!



was on mc yest and came back so many posts! haha..



for pee that is very dark yellowish and er xin, it's because lack of water and too long never discharge the acidic urine out.. if you pee during nite time, think the situation will be better..



for me whenever i take the iron supplement, my poo will be very black!



btw, anyone experience alot of gas in your stomach? have been experiencing them recently until the whole stomach v bloated and uncomfortable. also, think the nose bleed has stuck me this morning again.. haiz.. heaty or normal?



regards

 
L3x,

So confusing right. SOme say ok as long the chemical don't touch the scalp. I ask my gynae he say ok as long over 1st tri. But some hair stylist may not want to do for you. Even have to ask them before doing. Basically I am those doesnt like to tie my hair. That why M thinking even have to chop it, i must rebond. If not the big wavy pong pong hair will give mi nuts haha



I wonder... those artists pregnant how they keep their cool pretty hair n looks. Preg they also go do coloring etc. So Peifu

 
Hi Rach,



I also stay near chong pang[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Just wish to give you some info. I realised that most maid agencies in yishun required us to pay maid's salary for 8 months for a start. Thats too much for me. End up I got my indo maid from an agency in people park centre which is recommended by my DH coll. My maid salary is $350 (ex-malaysia with 8yrs experience)She is really really good and is recommended by the agent's manager. No limit of maid changing nor fine of cancellation anytime in this agency according to the manager.



i only need to pay:

Agent fees: $230

Maid's insurance, work permit and medical checkup for a start.

Levy: $176

Monthly salary: $10 for 8.5months



I don't have to pay her full salary as she used her salary to pay the agent for 8.5 months. And no off day for her too.

 
Cynthia, ha ha i think i more bo chap, last pregnancy i also went for rebonding then this pregnancy i went for coloring. My Gynae said so long after 1st tri will be ok. And I also tell the hair dresser nt to touch my scalp. Anyway I did some research on the internet, all commented the chemical used nowadays is not as strong as last time n is not enough to harm the bb. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] but i think still up to individual la cos i v vain one, cannot stand myself with messy hair during my pregnancy. I wan to be mei mei pregnant woman ha ha

 
blurjen,

I cannot stand messy hair... now i hardly want to look at mirror [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] just brush wash up and comb hair tie it up & out of bathroom. Felt so haggard so ugly. Even Hubby cannot stand me. Say last 2 pregnancy also do why not scare. Maybe hear too much not advise so will half hearted.



Fish,

GO where cut? My usual hairstylist not sure today she will be at which branch. Either beach rd or orchard there... perhaps call n ask her again..

 
Morning & Happy Kiddo Day!



will try to catch up here. didn't log in for almost 2 day...



Epi: I did have mine done early and didn't really feel it. Just dun look at the needle... :p My first boy was induced + epi

We booked way in advance so I never felt any pain thru out. thank god, it was a very smooth delivery.



Maid - always a headache, since my first kid, I've changed a few maids and tried 4-5 agencies. I believe luck is involved too. My current is a filipino. Have tried both indon and filipino.

My 2 cents worth is, price is one thing. Make sure you interview & question as much as you want. You must be comfortable with the maid and make sure they are clear on the terms and conditions (work scope, pay and off days). The bios the agent has is more impt and how truthful it is. some agency service good but if there are no good bios also not their fault. must be patient and keep looking. dun force it.



babymoon - i dun consider my trip a babymoon cuz my son going with us... i will look forward to a baby moon after this one haha. this upcoming one is a family trip :p

 
morning ladies..



baby23: welcome...could you PM me yr info for update in our table instead?

cos i am on leave today and the table is in my office comp...i can only update on monday..

thanks...



cynthia: ya lor...but i check la, among all the schools in sbw, they are still the cheapest lor...

baby23,

Hihi!!! Stay near so good.. Can meet for coffee.. Lolz...

Which part u stay?? I stay 14x...



So which agency u go to at Peoples Park??

U said no need to pay 8mos salary and only give her $10...

Then where she get her full salary frm to pay agent..???

 
Fish, wow gg to have new hair style soon!!



cynthia, i also cannot stand messy hair, I dun wan to look unhappy n affect my mood during my pregnancy. I wan my bb to be a happy bb ha ha! jus go n do dun think so much wahaha i v bad hor :p

 


Happy children day to all mommies, only realised today is children this morning and abit regretted not taking leave to play with my girl[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]



blurjen - how to be a mei mei mummies? I tried to cut my hair real short but was affected by my hubby's comment, that 'dun cut too short la, not pretty' - now with my hair shourlder length and curly, with my fringes short, and my pimple-affected face (due to hormon changes) I really dun know how to be pretty any more. Before pregnancy, I usually put on make up but also due to hormone change, my face is so oily that I can have pimples on my nose, T-zone area every 2 days - HOW...



Now the only thing I can do is try to wear bright colour clothes to make me look bright...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
