My company has a policy that is take more than 10 days continous, the weekend counted also. So no taking advantage here XD
J-A : my hr says the standard child care will get all days. But it's the enhanced one - the 3 days after pro-rate from the time u r a mummy. So i get only 1 day (cos not allowed half day under hr policy). My co says to take this way - must clear 8 weeks first, then annual leave, then child care, finally then the 8 more weeks of child care as that one can hold within another 1 yr. (means can drag into 2013). Also becoz unde my co policy, all my annual leave and chilcare all must clear within the year 2012.
I hope my co allow 8x5 days consecutively too. Afraid they say counted as a week leh..If ask Hr like v obvious .
My co accept HL leh, why will they not?

tanny,
8 x 5 = 40 working days. if inc wkend shd be 8 weeks = 56 calender days
think some co only accept HL if admit and discharge to rest at home. if just HL to rest at hm maybe dont accept, also heard that some co consider HL as ML if take HL til deliver date, have to check with HR again heheeee...
Ayukie,
go see gynae and take mc to rest !!

Happy: for ur CL, maybe u can tell her what food u don't eat. How u prefer for ur bb to be cared for (eg don carry her the moment he/she cries as in don spolit him/her). If u'll be breastfeeding etc, basically ur expectations ba.. As for holiday, a short getaway to asia countries is okie, like malaysia, bali, phuket where ur main aim is to relax. I just came back frm bali not long and it's fun

ej, I think there suppose to have. But maybe due to response not well therefore organizer decide not to hold it.
I was a bit disappointed as if the organizer decided to stop holding should have info earlier instead of keeping quite.

The recommended period for traveling is during the 2nd tri. U can be at ease to fly and all that. Go nearby places like Malaysia for a getaway.. It's not too bad though. Don't feel deprived ya? Haha me just went short trips like drive up to Melaka during Easter and flew to KL within the same week! And went desaru resort for some R&R just last weekend and going for some hotel stay today. Go have fun!

Hi mummies,
Like to check if during the last tri last month will we be too tired?
As my contract, suppose to end at end June which left me abt 1 month to rest and relax before delivery. However, my boss just request me to extend my contract for another month till end July which my EDD is 1 Aug. Since it is my 1st child just wonder will bb be out earlier? Cos I still considering whether to extend or not. Hope can get some advices from u all. Thank you.

Hazel,
Really up to you. During my last pregnancy, I was definitely getting more tired towards the end, but still manageble. My term ended middle of my last month, so I was looking forward to the two weeks break to rest and to prepare for the delivery. Who knows, my boy decided to come early. Ended up, I with only the weekend of rest (last day of work Friday, my water broke early Monday morning. I didn't even get to sleep in! lol)

my gynae has said that it is ok to travel in tri 2 and 3. just that towards the last month you will need to stop. i got her permission to travel to KL for a wedding exactly a month before my due and she said if its short trip it is ok.
i travel alternate week for work now (week 24) and plan to do so till my last month - so i presume for holiday all the more you guys should go! just make sure you are up for it eg you dont tire out easily or feel your body cannot handle the walking etc. we tend to catch bacteria easier now too so need to be more cautious.

LittleCoco: My gyane told me I'm OK to travel even by plane up to week 36. Maybe for mine is a normal preganancy ba?
Hazel: It really depends on your bb if want to arrive early. If you do extend for another month and bb decide to arrive early, would there be any complications to your contract or work?
I guess when travelling overseas, one of the most important thing to be careful is the food and water. Others just take it easy

Just to add on, if choosing budget airlines for short flights, go for the seats right at the front, they have more leg space. U have to pay more but it's worth it

hello all expecting my first child! EDD 1 Aug! =)
bali no need planning. just hire a driver for about $50-60 per day & he can bring you along.
Just remember kuta - cheaper shopping, seminyak - highend dining & ubud - nature, culture & unique souvenirs. Remember to go Ultimo restaurant at Seminyak, italian fine dining at a fraction of singapore prices, it's even better than osteria mozza the food i mean.

I don't quite understand wad u meant by normal pregnancy. I mean, who's is not? But I'm sure anyone in the right mind won't travel at 36 weeks knowing they'll go into labour anytime. Haha no offense.

littleCoco: Like jljz said, there are some mummies here who have low placenta or other complications that puts them at risk of preterm labour. So for these mummies, the doctor would advise them travelling in the 3rd trimester
BBL: My girl around the same weight as yours, but my doc say her weight is still under the normal percentile.
Rykiel: I used to do taobao spree for my friends but stop already due to my own workload and it's not easy handling big orders as the spree I do are for custom made stuff so need quite a lot of coordination work.
