winnie / rostrum - i have lower backache too when sitting for too long. My doc taught me to do one exercise. Stand straight and put both hands behind your back and very slowly arch your back to the front gently and repeat few times a day.
I find it quite useful although it will not completely eliminate the pains.
Anyone has any idea where to go for prenatal yoga and massage ?

Disliked the idea of having stranger at home, no freedom but no choice leh. even prepared to take longer than 4months if necessary to settle ourselves down b4 going back to work. Shall c hw it goes...
Am hiring at $420 + $20 no off day for 1st 6mths. Will nego with her when she reaches sg that no off permanently, thru agent's help. C what she says.
Yes indon maids $450 ler...
I think the set quite standard, as per confirmed by Liz too
One of the spree organiser did refer us to below link for the whole package
http://www.medelabreastfeedingus.com/products/breast-pumps"
Me too, worried abt the investment and not having enough determination and patience to pump.
Gan, will learn from you - pump to make $$ worth!
Liz, so no need to buy adaptor plug if we have multi plug la?

hmmmm...i hv to tell the maid not to touch the bbs first...but i dunno if tht will affect how she feels coz last night when i was busy..she already touching n playing w bb. my eldest boy last night had fever after the 6in1 jab..i so worried..carried him in bed the whole night... exhausted now.. cant slp coz hv to go guide the maid in what to do.

Pandawife i think u need to talk to your parents n in laws in private that coz in the long run u r managing the maid, so the instruction on the chores to do shld be from u not them else next time the helper is confused who to listen to. Do u have a timetable on chores to be carried out? Maybe have a timetable then she will follow n ur mum n il won't have new instructions.
I went kk 24 hrs last night coz there was blood in my urine n my lower side was very painful. Suspect is uti but there no discomfort when I pee though there is blood . Wld be doing an urine culture n go for an u/s on 9 mar. Haiz now on anti biotic. Sianz. Pumping bm now before I take the next dosage

gan, i wanted to do a timetable, but no time.. plus smtimes i will be busy w bbs or pumping.. so i thot can let my mum/mil tell her what help they need w the housework or in the kitchen.
if possible, i dont really wanna follow schedule..but seems like no choice.
oh dear.. u drinking enuff water? if not enuff, will b prone to uti.... now i m pumping 6hrly.. not so tiring n i can spend more time w the bbs..
hope u feel better n recover soon!
my eldest boy having fever after the 6in1 jab..last night giv 1 dose of panadol..then fever subside.. but this morning came again.. just gav him another dose. he doesnt wanna sleep on his own... i carried him whole morning.. my mum just took over so i can take a break.

Gan, oh dear! Hope it is nothing serious.
PandaWife, who used to do the housework before your maid came? Suggest that you ask whoever who used to do the housework last time to assign duties to your maid. Otherwise, it will be very messy, especially when you have 3 women in the house. BTW, I also dont think it is a big problem to ask yr maid to prepare breakfast for your hubby first. It is only a 5 - 10mins thingy and she can also manage the laundry at the same time.

Baby,
Great that you guys can catch up for movies. To me, it is a luxury if hubby and I can spend time together..hehe. Even if it is just to sit down to have meals together.
BTW, my helper will be leaving end of next month. Releasing her for good as her granny is seriously ill in philippines. She wants to go back to take care of her granny and son. She's in Singapore for 4 years plus and spent 2 years with me. Really sayang... and I have to start new relationship with a stranger all over again.
If anyone knows of any good transfer maid who is available after 1st April or even later, please PM me. Will consider indonesian or burmese. No urgency but need referrals.

Panda,
it's always difficult with a maid and so many women in the hse. but i agree with gan that instuctions shd only come from one. and since u're the employer, it shd be u.
but this is only the initial teething period lah. once routine sets in and yr maid knows wat needs to be done, there won't be so many instructions flying abt already

Pandawife / just faith ya maybe didn't drink enuff but it came very sudden the pain...didn't feel anything till last night 3 am as I was pumping the pain was sharp. Was telling hubby like I'm going thru labour ... Anyway now better.
Pandawife since cny I have no schedule for pumping..=p sometimes can be 6 hrsly apart. Luckily still manage to meet my gal's demand with 1 feed at night using fm. But she is not a big drinker. No increase in vol... Hmmmm
Just faith I felt nervous at the idea of having a maid but no choice. Need to start going agencies le.... Me been abit slack in looking for a helper

Gan, I didn't go through agencies for my helpers. I usually hire transfer maid and apply online. Basically no costs involved. For me, hubby and I dont need a helper at home. We can manage both housework and babysitting at the same time. BUT.... there are times when hubby and i need to run errands together (both self-employed) and i have to leave my gal at my mum's house. that is where the problem comes, my mum need an additional pair of hands, especially, when my brother also tong-bang her two gals with my mum. sigh... i cant seemed to find the perfect plan once my helper leaves.
Just faith the helper I m hiring is also to help my mum in housework etc when my mum helps me to look after my gal when I m back to work.
I really dun need one n my place only 2 bedrooms, super small no privacy lor. 3 of us will share a room while the heller has the other room.

Rexxie,
Iam attending the prenatal yoga from comshambala same place where grumpus went. Samantha teacher is very good. I guess I joined in 17th or 18th week , currently going twice a week. I find it very useful. Thursday is not very crowded.. sometime Saturday its bit crowded… but now so many due to pop around 35 , 36 weeks.. so numbers will reduce .. he he … first I registered for 5 classes wherein I get a extra complimentary class for new joinee. Now renewed for 10 clasees.Though I had not done yoga before, now atleast it helps keeps flexible and releifs from leg cramps pain and sciatic nerve pain. Iam so much for drug free natural delivery.. iam not sure how much this yoga will help, it will depend on the babys position etc.. so many factors.. but still iam planning to continue till last few weeks of pregnancy.
Prenatal massage not tried yet – need this badly but little scared.
Prenatal classes – I feel I will be over stressed attending the yoga then prenatal classes etc, there r lots o books and in the internet we can read and understand. Hence no going for any classes. Might go for mums fairy
BF – one day seminar in April .

rexxie - really? Dr never said anything about protein milkshake though... however, when i checked with Angela from CARE, she advised Similac Mum 2x a day..because I lost weight during the last check (despite eating like a pig)... Dr Paul said its water loss... no concerns...
I guess I will just eat as per normal?
fancy: Im good... crossing to week 38 soon... and like what you say, really enjoying this peace and quiet... I meet up with friends for tea and meals...u know, coz soon it will be a luxury haha...

On Tue we chat more okies? Hang on there!
Just Faith: Hope u find a gd maid soon... im quite surprised you go for transfer maid...coz dunno y i hv the impression transfer maids are "problematic" and hence rejected? No right?
I might hunt for one in times to come too... coz after the CL leaves, its me and my own... stimes really wonder how to cope with hsehold chores (i hate mess!!), meals and taking care of the baby's needs 24/7... time to start some preliminary hunting i think...

pink d,
not all transfer maids are problematic. my mum's current maid is a transfer maid and has been with us for 4yrs already going on 5 and 6.
i guess must see the reason for transfer?
her reason was cos previous employer hired her to take care of twin girls and she found she cannot cope so ask for transfer and request to do housework only.
my mum's house all kids grown up, only housework and cooking so suited her much better. turns out she's a very good cook!

just faith.. i used to hv part time helper coming in weekly to do the heavy duty chores. my parents n mil will share the other light duties with me..whoever is free will do. but most of the time not free ..haha.. thts y need maid.
my mil cant teach the maid coz she cant communicate w her. my mum can speak malay..but wht my mum wants her to do is not the same as wht i want smtimes..i.e. the breakfast episode. the maid got stuck in the bathroom doing laundry during the time my hb needs to take his breakfast..anyway..i told everybody tht laundry can wait.. let the maid settle breakfast every morning before asking her to do other chores.
pink D, i agree not all transfer maids are problematic.. mine also transfer..n the reason is her last two assignments both looking after elderly.. she prefers to work with babies or toddlers. can see she has alot of ai xin for my babies.. everytime they cry...she will wanna run over n see wht's wrong..
gan...its gd tht u can still meet the demand leh. i m trying to stick to 6hrly..will try my best...coz 6hrly pump, just nice will hv enuff output to feed the 3 babies 2 rounds of bm a day..if i miss a pump, one of them will not hv bm to drink....
grumpus, i m trying to eat more so tht i can gain some "spares" to hv sufficient output...also worried tht my supply will be affected....

Hey Panda, I think it's a good sign that yr maid loves yr bbs. She can be a big help to u. My maids also sayang my kids. I dun mind coz more ppl saying them ma.
Baby,
U r lucky yr hb is willing to handle yr maid. My hb bochap. Everything abt maid push to me coz I am the housekeeper managing 2 maids! I just took 1 transfer maid.
I terminated my ex maid coz she always climb up my head and I really buay tahan such attitude like "I know coz I m experienced" kind.
Today I found out from my other maid that my ex maid is actually 40 years old. She declared 3 years younger and she thought I am in my 20s coz my kids r so young. She told her I can be her daughter. No wonder she climb my head!

Panda,
Hope yr boy's fever subside now. I definitely agree, having too many women in the hse creates problems. When it was me, my mom and CL also got so many difference in opinions already.
Yr maid is Indon? How is the process of hiring? Agency will shortlist for u and then u do interview?
Justfaith,
How to select transfer maid online? I'm thinking of getting a maid to helpp my mom out after I go back to work. My current maid no experience w kids, can only do housework.
Grumpus,
Any contact for those hourly childcare services? I really wanna have some dating time w hubby once in a while but only my mom jaga two babies cannot leh. Plus my boy need 100% attention now cuz must always carry. Put down only cry. I keep wondering if that's normal behaviour. And when he cries, he can get hysterical and scream. My neighbours also know my son keep crying. Haiz...

Singapoh,
Both yr maids Indon? Do u give them time off on Sun? My current maid is Indon and she doesn't take sun off. She is our long time maid and like part of the fsmily. Now I'm thinking of getting an additional maid but need to handle properly... Cuz I'm afraid the new maid see us so close to current maid and then if new maid insist time off, current maid will feel double standard. Trying to figure this part out now.

Working wife,
Yes both are Indon with same pay. U can always ask yr current maid to guide her.
If I m not mistaken, not every family is eligible to hire 2 maids. I can because I got 3 kids. Not sure if elderly in the family are counted. If u want I can check with my agent

working wife,
Here is the link to MOM website.
http://www.mom.gov.sg/services-forms/Pages/wp-online-fdw.aspx
Select login to WP online. Need to log in with singpass. For purchase of security bond (SB) for your maid, i use Vintage Insurance Agency. You are required to fill up a proposal form and decide which insurance coverage you want for your maid. Range from $100+ to $300+ for 2 yrs coverage (also include $5k runaway coverage). Their office is located at Tanjong Pagar Complex. Same building as MOM - work pass department where the agency/employers go down to collect the work permits for their foreign workers.
Let me know if you need more info. It is really easy. For hiring of transfer maid and renewal, I DIY myself. Didn't go through maid agency. And the best part is, I have no contract with the maid. Can terminate her anytime.
