hi gals,

newbbi,
regarding yao lan, we just bot one cos when i go back work, my aunt will be letting inez sleep in the yao lan, but she warn us not to yao her, just sway her can leow.
as for engaging CL, i think it will be better. cos CL not only helps you to take care of your bb, cook and do the general housework for you. you can have a good rest at night, which is very impt during confinement period, your hb will not be too tired doing all the housework and waking up to feed the baby.
both my hb and myself did not regard engaging a CL, cos we really can have a good rest at night, my hb dun have to do the housework and dun have to wake up to help feed baby.

for the insurance, i bot the pregnancy insurance during my pregnancy. when inez is born, we bot for her the medical insurance now still deciding which plan to buy for her for education, saving and life. all from prudential.

 

[lingling2]

all busy?

 

[lingling2]

Linda,
Tks for the information...

Will speak to my hb again lor =)...

Do u rem wats the premium for the pregancy insurance?Wat does it cover?

 

[qq77]

daphne,
inez sigh too when she is sleeping.

newbbi,
heartburn is very common in pregnancy. its very uncomfortable feeling in the chest area. i got that too when preg.

 

[qq77]

newbbi,
no prob.
my policy is linked up with my existing policy. paid abt another $10 or lesser each mth.
it covers things like, in case of preg, there is a miscarriage or in case where a termination of preg got to be carried out or during delivery got complication or after you deliver if your baby need to be hopitalised, all or most of the expenses will be paid for and in case of miscarriage or termination of preg, they will compensate you a certain amt of money.
i think that's abt it bah. check with your agent.

 

[lingling2]

Linda,

[lingling2]

[qq77]

newbbi,
tummy pain? if the pain persist, better see a doc. preg dun any how eat medication leh.

ar.... 12 weeks = 60 days??
i took 12 weeks (3 mths) maternity leave.

 

[ting0502]

newbbi- i usin this stretch cream, realise i got sm rashes after few days leh. wil monitor for another few days n c hw. sm one in the may MTBs thread also experiencin the same thing n said sm of her frens also kana...

 

[qq77]

nebi,
initially i used this brand, but only used twice, i got rashes in every part of my body. when to se GP, gave me some medication whcih is save for preg to apply. then when i went for my check up, told my gynae that, he told me that i am alledgy to coco butter that's y got rashes and gave me some medication to relieve the itch.
in the end i went to buy the brand Galenic from Watson

 

[qq77]

ting,
think you and me same, alledgy to coco butter. better stop using and check with your gynae whether are you alledgy a not?
according to my gynae, quite a number of ppl who are alledgy to coco butter will develop rashes.

 

[dolphin48]

for stretchmark cream, can try mustela. i was using that but i didn't use very often.... till now, i think still got half left..... actually i think stretch marks are genetic. my mum didn't have it and heng i also no have. my colleague apply almost 2 tubes but still kena stretch marks. i ask my gynae and she told me don't waste $$ on those cos it's genetic... either you have it or you don't.

 

[qq77]

daphne,
agree, my gynae told me that also.
in fact, my gynae told me dun need to waste money to buy.

 

[ting0502]

reali huh.. lidat thn no pt buyin liao. stretch creams r not cheap leh. i also lazy to apply every nite. nwadays so tired, hit the bed, jus wan to sleep!

 

[jendome]

Ting,
huh, u allegy to coco butter huh, so sorry lei, shldn pass u the cream..cos tt time i lazy to apply.. use only 1 or 2 times and i put aside lao.

 

[qq77]

ting,
maybe just use normal baby lotion. just to prevent the itch when your stomatch start to expand.

 

[lingling2]

Ting,
Ya lor, got 1 of my fren also hv rashes leh..then she stopped using liao lor..

Linda,
12wks = 3mths lor...

I only have 60days leh..

Daphne,
so actually hor, also no need stretch mark cream de hor?

 

[dolphin48]

newbbi, actually for ML, it's by 12wks and 1wk is 5days so 12wks = 60 days..... sat and sun no count in ML.

 

[ting0502]

jenn- no lah, i also din noe i wil get rashes. actuali duno isit reali rashes. thn i also lazy to apply =D

newbbi- i got 84 days ML but it's inclusive of wkends n PHs lor..

 

[dolphin48]

newbbi, cos if genetically you got stretchmarks one, no matter how much cream u apply still have one..... for me i got the marks on my thighs.... tummy don't have.... but as linda say, apply some cream / lotion is to relief the itch lor.. cos mine itch a lot....

 

[dolphin48]

ting, so correct lor if include sat and sun = 12wks x 2 = 24. 24 + 60 = 84.

 

[qq77]

newbbi,
how come leh? check with your HR?
60 days are paid by company and the 3rd mth is paid by the govt that your company can claim leh.
go to the MOM website and check and cfm it with your boss.

 

[dolphin48]

linda, 60 days is correct cos ML doesn't include sat and sun. so technically 40 days paid by company and 20 days paid by govt.

 

[dolphin48]

which is why most company would prefer us to take ML by wks and not by month cos some mths got 31 days.... so 3mths ML is actually 12 wks.

 

[dolphin48]

MOM website also indicate 12wks instead of 3mths if not wrong.

 

[qq77]

daphne/ting,
mine really only 12 weeks leh, including PH and weekends. i start my ML on 23 Jul and my ML ends 15 Jul leh.

daphne,
me also got sm on my inner thighs, but tummy and other parts dun have.

 

[qq77]

daphne,
oic... thanks.

 

[dolphin48]

linda, as long as you got 12wks (by the block of the wk even if include sat and sun), it's correct already. so just count by the Monday of the wk you start your ML and count 12 Mondays, that should be the last wk of ML.

 

[dolphin48]

linda, no worries... keke cos i used to study HR and a lot of pp got the wrong conception that 60 days = 2 mths which is wrong. cos sat and sun is never counted in such cases...

 

[dolphin48]

which is also why when it comes to pro-ratio of pay, a lot of pp don't understand cos even in salary, sat and sun is never taken into account unless you work on sat.

 

[janf]
