sun_tan/bloom, thanks for the info. So when should we start contacting SCBB? Now still early right? I better save the details some where first.
sn0wing, coz I use CDA to pay. CDA works like you save $1, government will match $1 to your $1 (up to max $6k of matching, meaning you can deposit a total of $6k to have $12k inside) So the total cost of 21 yr plan is $5778 but I only need to prepare n deposit cash of $2889 ($5778/2) into the CDA then Cord Life can deduct $5778 from the CDA after government matched the $2889 to make it a total of $5778 loh. Understand ma?

Hey, anyone has this question in their head too?
Since we are entitled to 6 days of childcare leave per year, can our hubbies take it once baby is born? Our EDDs are in December so not sure if its still in time to process and take it for year of 2012?
Any HR experts here?

Oh Yar huh.. then we mothers lugi.. cos the childcare leave conincides with our maternity leave.. unless we can break the maternity leave up and use!
I think if so, have to faster register the birth cert then our hubs can submit to HR and apply leave?
I am very sleepy... 1.15 hours to go....

Re: Childcare leave

but for #2 mummies and more, no diff coz we still only have 6 days in total..
Re: discharge

Bloom: hmm sometimes I got craving for subway! But I read online we should not eat deli meat so often and it's raw and cold so better to be toasted. Plus the veggie all is raw dunno whether there is growth of bacteria. So I tried to avoid to eat subway now! =( Its recommended to choose meatball sub or tuna instead of ham or cold cut
Deli meat
Known to potentially be contaminated with listeria, a compound that can contribute to miscarriages by crossing the placenta wall and infecting the baby, deli meats are one food you should not have on your pregnancy menu.
This category also includes things like hot dogs, meat spreads, and raw pre-stuffed poultry foods.
If you can’t live without your deli meats, ensure that you reheat them until they are steaming

sasayeo, my Japanese client told me their pregnant ladies still eat sashimi coz it's so common for them, unavoidable. So they think is safe so long as they are fresh. My colleague who had #2 also ate many sashimi and okay. That's why now I also not strict on my diet le. Maybe #2 le. haha... I ate few times of sashimi le, half boiled eggs, crabs, ham, cuttle fish, and a lot of cold drinks.
Hehe.. my MIL keep telling me no cold drinks.. but when we go out and eat.. she will say take a few sips la.. then through out the day here few there few... lol! No diff liao lor!
Cham.. i have bad indigestion from lunch again.... >.< have to skip dinner liao..
knock off! bye ladies!

oh ya, gynae plays an important part to your diet also. My gynae is more relax kind, during my #1 I asked him alot of things whether I can eat or not. He just all food can eat, just eat in moderation and make sure they are fresh if they are supposed to be. He also told me no problem to have a bit of sashimi. Haha... My hb previously also don't allow me to eat this n that. Now also relax liao. haha...

All the food food here makes me hungry!!!! I would love to have egg mayo croissants!!! But no delifrance At TBP! Maybe subway's egg mayo!! ^^
Kong kong,
IMHO definitely stay on for the 4 months paid leave.
The morning sickness will pass in a few weeks and you'll feel better and be glad you stayed.
Talking about food. I have loads of craving despite my nausea. And only craving the food I cannot get hold of. What would I give for a BK mushroom Swiss or a McSpicy or Crystal Jade congee. *sigh*
