Hi all mummies, i have recently hired a maid to take care of my baby and wanted to enrol her in a infant care course but the next earliest date is August. As i do not want to wait anymore, i have contacted the trainer to come down to my place to teach my maid. We are still negotiating the fees but i was hoping to get like 4 other maids to come here to learn together so as to lower the costs. It is a 6 hr course, 3 hr theory and 3 hr practical. I spoke to the trainer and she says it covers topics like basic bathing, feeding,sleeping, as well as how to take care til 1 year old. I have absolutely no profit in this. Just hope to have some other maids to bring down the individual fees. I'm loooking at $50 each maid, not sure if the trainer would want. It would be on a sunday asap, at my place in punggol. Interested mummies may PM me. Will just gather 5 maids and close the course so that we can confirm and start the course asap. By the way the course is for indonesian maids only as i have arranged for the course to be conducted in malay for my helper to understand.

Amanda, LOL on the Suresh2388 info!
Actually if the conversations are suspicious, just check out their profile- usually newbies with very few posts, and whatever posts all over the forum is on the company they are promoting.
Bbreeze, I'm on fb already. PM u. haha.
Blessedm, My weight gain is 11kg and baby only 1.6kg at 32 weeks but gynae said its ok although on the small side, and I can eat as per normal...

My EDD is on 9 Aug. Usually 1st born is late or early from the EDD? I wish on time or later, but my gynae and my nanny said usually will be early.
Can add me in FB for more discussion

First, re PEM agency - I have heard of them and thought that they are doing pretty well. Until some strange "self-claim-customers" showed up in this (and some other threads) promoting their service. It is as if they have registered as a forum member just "to share and commend PEM"... SO SUPER GOOD until the mommies would do that? Suddenly the reputation seem to be down the drain (as far as I am concerned! and warning bells everywhere!!)
As for weight gain etc... I gained nothing in my 10 days of MC. To which the doctor commented that I must eat well - weight gain is essential during third trimester. If no weight gain or have weight loss... he might need to induce (HORROR!!). Which was what happened to my #2 but that was at 37/38 weeks and he arrived 38w sharp. Anyway.... I had durian, slept a lot, rest a lot, and at the following review (another 10 days later!) put on 2kg! Never knew I could gain so much weight so quickly! At that point I was 2kg heavier than when my #2 was born, and same weight as my #1 when I had her at 36+w. So, this little one will surely be a record breaker!
My sleeping time seem to be from midnight to 4am now. Before and after that would be our routine aerobics workout...

Jubilee, my mum was telling me sugar makes babies big very quickly n she reminded me white rice has loads of sugar too. So thought of sharing with you.
Frog, wat happened to u? A 10d mc sounds so divine though..

Hi my edd is on 30 aug and I am expecting a girl. Can someone add me on fb? Thks! [email protected]
can add me in fb?[email protected]
My edd is 28aug. And a boy.
My mum said first born will be late but many of my friends gave birth earlier.
I guess our sessions with gynae will be more often and they shd shed light if yr preg might be early or late. R u all prepared? Am starting on my washing of babies laundry n bedsheets soon.

Yeah i know.. My friend's gynae also estimated her baby's weight higher but then turned out fine.
Why dun u try drinking low fat fresh milk when u feel hungry? I do that to delay my grumbling stomach to match lunch time or when my hubby has to OT for short while. It works for me, i hope it does for you too!

I weighed myself yesterday - I am 100g heavier than 8 days ago (but feels a lot larger!). I have been throwing up more (quantity wise) in the mornings... Anyway... thought I'd treat myself a nice ramen for lunch. Ended up I was a bit too late for lunch (only about 12pm!)... I have IBS - so ended up having the runs this afternoon! I told my friends, baby thinks I am way too huge. Trying to control me... morning make me vomit. Else make me IBS. aiyoyor...
Gynae said baby is about 2kg now. If I manage to keep her in until week 38+, she might just be about 2.8kg at the max. And so far my record hasn't exceeded week 38 so .... just happy if we can do week 38+ ... which is another 3 weeks away!
And to share.. I try to lower my carbo (rice/noodles) intake. But secretly... carbo makes me so happy and contented after eating... I just wanna eat more and more carbo!
Small babies easier to delivery... big babies easier to take care!

Blessedm, my whole family eats organic brown rice. I read that white rice is the most unnutritious among rice types so we swtiched to brown rice le. But I have super big craving for sugary stuff, maybe bcoz this is a girl? So I've been eating lots of sweet things. Haha. Dunno y she's on the small side. My first child (boy) was born 2.9kg at 38weeks so hopefully she can reach that target too. Recently I've been eating a lot so hope she gains weight a lot more by my next scan which is next week.
Agree with what shufen said. Guess as parents, our genes may kinda define how big they grow inside us. But instead, focus on being happy!
Lyra, i used to hate sweet stuff. Now, i occassionally dream of myself slurping up a cup of chocolate milkshake in 30secs flat. Haha! Shiok ah!!

Lws, my mummy asked me to drink cocnut everyday 2 weeks before birth. Cocnut has high sugar?? Oh no...
Juniorbee, i bought the new philip avent natural bottles too. Not sure if they are good or not so only bought a pair n KIV.. Every child is different, so will their 'bite'. What's good for one may bot be good for another so i guess gotta wait and see but i hear many good reviews on medela calma and dr brown.
