Think insomnia is common in pregnancy esp 3rd tri.. I requested for HL from my gynae so I need not attend my year end meetings etc.. she gave me 2 weeks which covers me till all my meetings are over. So can say I'm on leave till whenever baby decides to pop..hopefully she waits till Jan...

Your HL 2 weeks how to cover you till you pop in January???

Well, I figured it's good to standby that for peace of mind, especially the Cordlife kit cos I was told KK don't have that many spare kits. Besides I'm very sure my hubby has no clue where all the necessary items like marriage cert, my pads/underwear etc are. So I think I better pack nicely for him first. Besides, if I don't start packing, I wouldn't know what I'm short of.

Wah...I oso think I alot of things not done yet. Those confinement herbs, bb toiletries haven't buy. Hospital haven't pack, bb clothes haven't wash...etc.
I am oso on leave this week but is to study for my exam on this sat! With my pregnant brain and someone keep kicking mi in my tummy is a BIG distraction! Dun know can pass anot.
So the rest of the bb stuff have to wait until after this weekend then I will start again...

I went thru the same process a few weeks ago. First u gotta decide if u want Filipino or Indon. Then you can call up some agencies n ask them to email u a few bio data. Alternatively, you can drop by Far East Shopping Centre (next to Wheelock) on a Sunday. They have a lot of agencies there, n most of the maids available for transfer r also there in early afternoon. Then u can interview them n shortlist from there. Of coz, each agency charge different agency fees, replacement policies etc so u gotta go w one whom u feel is more reasonable.
 
So exciting! We are going to meet our lil babies soon!

I'm clearing all my work and preparing my handover instructions. Currently, typing all the instructions and will slowly teach my colleague my jobscope for her to take over.

Come december, everybody holiday mood. No mood to learn how to take over.

my sis asked me to use netmaid to browse for bio data of maid available... found a few potential candidate but their agency is on the west side while i stay ne side haiz. and their experience of being able to speak chinese and look after infant is going to drive their salary higher than $600 per month .so will continue to look for one

for me if i do get a maid ..everyday will ferry her and bb to my mom side lolz i will not let bb and her alone at home :p then night time ferry them back lolz
but then again my mom has a maid too .. engaged to take care of my dad but according to my mom ..she seem like nothing to do ...hmm wonder can i top her money to part time look after baby when bb is at my mom place but it is the housechore at my place that worry me haiz ...
my hubby dun like to do housechore and my son everything also find me .. i cannot imagine when #2 pop out and all required things or persons required my attention ..think that can drive me nuts ..so even though i dun like strangers in my house but i have no choice haiz
 
mishtiew said:
wow that's fast! i got another week to decide before letting my gynae know..
Click to expand...
since i already know where i want to give birth so might as well just book when gynae told me to get ready to decide ..
lolz she more happy that i chose TMC lolz cos she can just pop by and do her job when her clinic is just a floor above the operating threatre or delivery suite lolz
 
ciakes said:

Some questions I asked:
  • Why you want to transfer? (to ascertain if she's a job hopper)
  • Why you want to work as a domestic helper in SG? (to ascertain how motivated she is to work)
  • Describe a typical day in your previous employer's house.
  • Do u have experience w newborns? Are u ok to wake up at night to take care of them if necessary?
  • What can you cook?
  • Do you have boyfriend, when do you plan to get married?
  • What do u usually do on your off days?
  • When do you think is an appropriate time for you to use your handphone? When do you think it is inappropriate for you to use it?
  • What is your strength as a good domestic helper?
  • Do you practice any religion? (In case she needs to abstain from certain foods)
  • Do you have any medical conditions? Do you take any medications?
  • What would you do if you are not happy with us?

Other that looking at the scan, how you know the baby is engaged? Do you feel any difference? or feel any pressure?

I'm teaching so Dec is technically holidays..2 weeks will cover me till mid nov which is when the hols start.
Click to expand...

So good. I intend to take HL in January for 2 weeks... December will take it slow, since Dec festive period, things usually move slower, other ppl on leave etc. I don't like to take leave during this period, cuz this period "no government" and everyone more chilled, so come to work will be more relaxing... :p

Good morning mummies, start of new work week, sian!

Saw my pte gynae on Sat, he checked n double checked the weight, bb is 1.748kg at 29+3, n he says its perfectly normal. Apparently, the mixed parentage theory is true, cos he says all the percentiles here are computed using average weight of Singaporean babies, plus we r both not short, so it's to be expected mine is abit on the higher end of the spectrum. Chay, stupid KK scare me for nothing! In fact he told me to continue what I have eating, since beanie is growing well, so now I have to jio my colleagues back to the buffet I had 2 wks ago, to make up for all the carbo n dessert I foregone back then. :p

Have a good week mummies!
Click to expand...

Hahah now you can rest your mind Liao ...

My Gynae been asking me to sit less .. I told him I eat less even my weight is still manageable . 35 weeks less than 9kg gained .. No supper some more ... After dinner will head to bed or one glass of milk .

bbcripps said:
Eeks I'm equally unprepared!

-Haven't washed anything. Still thinking if I need to disinfect my washing machine before I start on bb washes
-Bb shower/full month cakes hasn't even crossed my mind
-I have a confinement lady booked but she can only start mid Jan so I have to prepare the ingredients myself for the first few weeks
-I haven't even bought the breast pump! :eek:

JIA LAT!!

Think my first step this weekend is to start packing the hospital bag.

Ya need to clear kitchen stuff and take out all the sterilizer , hot water flask etc ..

Confinement ingredient also never buy leh ... My house nothing much too...

My Hb asked me if I need to pack my bag since very high chance I will give birth this month. I asked him the last hospital bag did I use anything ? He looked at me and laughed .. Nothing used at all ... Except the pj . Almost all provided by hospital . Skincare dun say la .

Then pad all these also used the hospital one . Finished just ask him to go and help me buy . Even thinking to ask him help me go Japan buy since he's going Japan lol .. Also some more baby stuff .. Whahahah

Marriage cert he's in charge . Admissions form already put in car .

Only the baby cot and confinement thingy not really settled which is the most important part lol

Depends which hospital you going . For tmc , they will provide tmc towel , bb clothes , mitten and booties when discharge . Unless you prefer to let bb change to your clothes you bought/passed down .. Pads they provide la loop type .. Anyway hospital also have small shop to buy pad .. Of cos better to bring own one ..

Some mummies bought their pump along .. Based on my own experience , my flow only comes after 2-3 days . In hospital they will bring bb to you and ask you to latch bb on and teach you how to latch too ..

Seriously I can't think of anything to bring .. Maybe camera if you think phone camera resolution not good enough ??

but your BB weight is very good ... at 29wks almost 1.8kg ..
i just saw gynae on sat at almost 31wks then reach 1.8kg leh lolz
