JJ, if you're constantly having challenges with bowel movement or hard stools (same goes for the ladies here..) maybe you can try something. Go to the organic food section in supermarket. There's this item called psyllium husk. It's machiam like wheat or oats - beige color. Buy then just stir in 1 tablespoon into 1 glass of water. If you find the taste not nice, stir into fruit juice or any drink.
Basically psyllium husk is excellent source of fibre and provide plenty of roughage for bowel movement. Because it is a natural food, it is very safe for us preggies' consumption also. Most importantly, VERY CHEAP!! YOU MUST TAKE WITH PLENTY PLENTY OF WATER THOUGH.....Like rice, it'll grow those weevils unless u put in the fridge or inside airtight container.

rene, ok np. Wow.. that psyllium husk sounds gd. I also got constipation yest.. sianz.
sandy, dun be say lah. After delivery we'll all be slim slim again.
lynn, dun worry. Bb inside our womb cant hear all the noise one. Last time when i had #1.. the office fire alarm ring so super loudly just beside me.. i was worried all damage bb's hearing.. haha. Silly me. Our bbs are well-protected inside us!

elmo, if u wanna take the psyllium husk, remember that as soon as liquid (water or fruit juice is advisable) is poured into the cup, stir and drink immediately cos if you let it stand, the psyllium husk reacts with the liquid and it'll turn slimy - quite gross to drink then.
Psyllium husk is a safe natural food so very safe for us to take. Don't have long term reliance on this though, it's still essential to drink plenty of water and fibre rich foods. Maybe try downing 1 bottle of yakult per day.

piggy, u mean there's no indication in your letter of appointment regarding termination of service by either party?
What silly HR practice is that!?!?
Ok, if they state in your confirmation letter which has been issued to you, then yes, you've to abide by it. By accepting the letter and thus the confirmation, both parties are bound by all terms and conditions as stated.

40 working days!? That doesn't sound very fair, unless you're some senior executive or management - critical position. And to calculate as 40 WORKING DAYS is damn disgusting.. Cos if you look at it, 40 working days will mean 8 wks which is abt 2 mths! Wah lau... disgusting!
But yeah, by accepting the letter of confirmation, it means you're accepting all terms and conditions as stated. They'll also argue that the termination clause ties both parties in so they'll also need to give you 40 working days' notice as well which makes it fair.
At the same time, if this practice of 40 working days is consistent in the company for all staff of similar level to yourself, then it's just too bad. Sibeh suay!
Do note that as mentioned before, you aren't allowed to use any part of maternity leave as part of the notice period. Earned annual leave may be used to off-set subject to agreement by both parties.
You can tender your resignation when you're back from maternity leave though.

piggy, if it's indeed stated as such in your confirmation letter, you'll have to abide. Length of notice is subject to mutual agreement between employer and employee. But by accepting the confirmation, you've agreed to all terms and conditions.
You won't be able to 'fight' on reduction of the 40 working days officially cos there's no case since there's acceptance on your part.
Upon resignation, you can request for waiver of notice on certain grounds (medical, etc) but it's still subject to approval by your employer failing which to shorten the notice, you'll have to make payment in-lieu-of notice.
Of cos there're some people who 'force' the employer to shorten the notice by 'playing punk' or incurring high no. of MCs during the notice period. No employer's allowed to take up any case with you if your absence is covered by a valid MC.

piggy, your employer is bound by law to encash balance earned annual leave. This one they can't run away, otherwise it's off to MOM to 'la kopi'.
As for off-setting with AL, yes, they've every right not to agree and there's nothing you can do. Anyway still long time to go, when you tender, if you want, I can help you calculate the no. of pro-rated AL you're entitled to and based on your salary, how much should they pay you. Some employers, again relying on ignorance of most staff, short-pay.

Hi ladies,
Back from lunch..
Sookie,
I do get blocked nose often nowadays too... Ya apparently it is also related to pregnancy.. Sigh.. If it is really bothering you, you can buy piriton from pharmacy and don't need prescription.. It is an anti-histamine that will help you to unblock and dry your nose.. The only drawback is that it might make you drowsy...
Ya #2 seems to be giving me hell loads of problem.. Gain weight faster, pubic pain, bad reflux... Arghzz..

gerry: Thanks for the tip! its strange isn't it? i'm attributing it to age. as in we are older.
I am excited to approach the 3rd tri cause it means baby will come out soon but the thought of all the having to go through all the heartburn, backache, swollen legs etc.. i shudder.
Today at lunch was so strange. I was looking at some shops and I thought i heard someone say "xiao jie" but i was not sure so i walked. then i realised this older lady following me. I was so scared so i purposely walk to NTUC in hope of losing her but she still found me. turns out she asked if i needed a confinement lady. for the first time I got so scared wondering why is she following me.. then stupid thoughts like. oh no she wants my baby.. hahaha how silly can I get?
then after that i was in the lift to my office, suddenly this guy asked me "so how much does it cost to give birth now of these days".
Wah lau, i was thinking... how come suddenly i become a magnet for people to come talk to me about being pregnant!
