Berrydelight, I've pm-ed you on fb.
I get cramps at the calves. Happened twice so far in the middle of the night.
May I check wat's amino test?
Sazaethh - we are visiting the same gynae!
Going for Oscar n blood test on Tues n super excited cos i see that many of you have seen bb moving yet i'm worried at the same time if the results would be ok.
As for spotting, I had it on n off even at week 10. Now it's mostly discharge so I guess wait for it to die down. It'd go away.

blurbabe,
i knew my #1 gender at wk13 leh.. as long as ur gynae is skillful enough in checking out the gender, even week12 also can see.
Celtbaby,
i think its not EXTRA leh... its shared with maternity! its another short term solution. but i think i would rather take the full 4mth for full breastfeeding..

i have been having nightmares!!! =(
sazaethh, yes to prenatel massage, but after 5th months. i went before, not really shiok as usual massage cos the theraphist wouldnt press you too hard.
blurbabe, i got mine when i was about 7th month preg? but purposely ask delivery after 2 months, so wouldnt cramp up my house. hehhe!! bought during taka baby fair.
bb gender, congrats I love babies! your gynae machine must be really powerful, and your baby very co-operative. i know chinese physcian able to detect gender by feeling our pulse. they can feel when the mother is 2mths preg.

Celt,
ya, i more keen in long term benefits like childcare etc.. seems like there is a package they are working on..lets wait till january ba..
actually, i always believe there is breastmilk for all mummies..its whether one is hardworking and determined or not..even low supply, also can keep going.. sure have one, just need to keep going..

Sunflower,
I think the package are mainly monetary bonus for the bb.
Celt,
like what Mrs Lee said, if you have space in your hse, can buy liao if you find a suitable one. For me, i will buy my cot later coz the one i am eyeing will not have much price difference and don't think can find at bb fair. As for stroller and car seat, may buy at the upcoming parent fair if it is available.

Hi Mummies,
Re: ND Rally speech
I think LHL meant 4 mths for mothers is fixed and wun increase but for paternity leave, it's either extra given to fathers or extra shared by the father and mother
Breast feeding-i'm worried abt milk supply also... but as for now, my breast has alrdy swollen and grown heavier... my experienced cousin say shld not be a problem for me......

MORNING MUMMIES
aiyo.. a bit sad on the rally. haha.. he was saying one lady told him, scared boss might forget her. what is this? company pay u $$ where got forget u one. haha.. cos normally they pay first than claimed back from goverment.
not much saying on the motherhood stuff thing. no changes

oh for child care - they said they will be setting up what group for preschool.
preschool is actually more expensive wor... last time my boy went to this center 480/MTH After deduction. i calculate during his stay for 4 years - total amount will be SGD 23,040. almost same like uni is it?

i guess, the question is for policymakers is, what is hindering people from having more babies? they won't have a policy that will put women at a disadvantage in work so much that companies prefer men, or women would rather be a full time house wife as opposed to working in the work force (well, else what to do if suddnely half of the workforce stays at home right, no good for sg gdp).
i think having closer family bonds would help. right now, after i heard that both my parents and in laws won't want to take care even with a maid, i just feel so hesitant about having another kid. unless after i put in infant care, i am so comfortable with the idea that i am ok with not having family support for my kid. So for me, i would like to see more work from home, part time opportunities, more family support, more infant cares and preschools with flexibility to allow parents and grandparents to chip in.

Celtbaby, on breasfeeding, really depends, altho i do agree w sunflower. but sometimes really don have or nipple is too unique to produce milk. for my #1, i was too afraid of no milk, so i didnt invested on machines, i loan from my SIL. borrowed manual and auto pump. n with the stimulation of keep pumping and make my boobs work really work, i manage to bf my girl for 5.5mths till i return to workforce. maybe you can try to loan one first if you don mind.

that will also have to depend on companies mindset... MNCs or Ang Mo companies tend to have better benefits for mothers... but if u talk abt SMEs, 1stly they cannot afford to have a staff not working full time...
My parents and in-laws will not be taking care of my bb too.. as they are still all working, but at least my mum gave some suggestions to get my cousin to take care since she is a SAHM... guess it's better than putting my bb in infant care or with a nanny that i dun really know.....
Ultimately, i dun wan to miss out on the growing up of my kids.. in fact my immediate boss understands tt and will be making alternative arrangements for me when i come back from maternity leave...

what kind of alternative arrangement will your boss be making? i am also considering speaking to my boss on alternative arrangements just not sure what there are,
sigh, i am also reluctant to put my kids in the hands of strangers. but grandparents dun want to take care, even if they are not working, i dun see what alternatives there are.

for me~ i'll be taking full 3 mths maternity, and after that, she's suggesting that i go on half days alternate days and adjusting my work load so that i can go home on the dot n not much ot....
Sunflower: I'm also hoping for better childcare subsidies, medisave account for kids is also mentioned... yes, gotta wait till Jan when the pkg is finalised.
I'm worried abt bm supply but hearing what u said, at least got some assurance haha... shall work harder n perservere when the time comes.

U must really have very supportive family to assist on caring for the small.
You know, my mum is already telling me she is unable to take care of 2nd one. So for once and for all, my big one I will be sending him to full day at OCT which I really thought its alright after much disagreement with my mother.
I already book infant care just now to put my 2nd one to try. The teachers I met is very nice there.
My in laws are willing to help me but they are getting too old. So at the moment, they said they will help pick up my 1st and 2nd after 5pm.
So when my 2nd one is at 3mths, I will be there to monitor the progress for a mth before I goes to work or maybe I will take unpaid leave for another 2 mths to make it 6mths. I really need to ensure that my 2nd one is doing fine at infant care.
Furthermore, infant care is unpaid 6days leave. What the heck…
