huiqin83 there was once i sneeze and my tummy hurt badly (piercing pain) then now whenever i sneeze i bend forward a bit, not painful.
Ya i fart and sneeze a lot nowadays can even hear the wind moving inside my tummy. Maybe cause my bb likes to eat indian curry and hot or spicy stuff.

Ya june83 u are really lucky, i went to scan at 13weeks still cannot see :( im going to ask doctor on my 15 weeks to see if able to see.

Im visiting 2weeks once now, since I signed for prenatal package, the doctor is saying up to me now, I'm thinking 3 weeks once.
Too long apart I will get worried.
Wanted to buy a doppler to hear BB HB to make sure hes ok, but doc say I will get addicted, which is true.

huiqin 83 Hmmm i wanted to but some say will harm the BB, i asked my doctor he say wont, maybe i will just change my visit more often since its free now.
Yes my prenatal package start at 12 weeks too, so save a lot :)
Maybe if you think that one month is too long can request to visit like 3 weeks once, 2weeks is already too long for me now haha.

oo so good. mine is dr decide when i go back. i can only choose TMC n Mt A, but most likely tmc as his clinic is downstairs only. he will come n visit more often in btwn his appt and if anything happen. my hub can just run down find him. If clinic elsewhere, i will choose mt A, seems cheaper.

My Gynae is at Thomson Plaza, he deliver at TMC, Gleneagle, Mt E and Mt A. I like Mt A, but since Ligation cant operate in Mt A, then no choice have to change to TMC. For all private hospital Mt A is the most cheapest, nurse is nice also. Hopefully TMC service is good too.

oo good that u have more choices. i feel sometimes is abit of luck thing. There are always good and bad stories of each hospital. Some ppl unlucky to get a unfriendly or bad mood nurse that day, some get nice and real sweet one.

hi ladies.. need yr advice.. better still if there is anyone here of a managerial role, or from the HR dept..

i'm currently unemployed and looking for a job, i need income cus i'm the sole breadwinner of my family (including parents)

should i be upfront about my pregnancy..? i mean.. if i am upfront during interview, they're definitely not going to hire me right..

but i keep quiet about it and after like another 2 months then i tell them, like in june or something.. that is 4 months away from delivery, they can't terminate me anymore..?

another thing is, recently, the jobs are all like 1 year contracts.. then i would be.. work 5mths and maternity 4mths and go back work 3 months?!

my goodness. i am damn confused and in a horrible dilemna and its causing me alot of stress.. making me have insomnia and feeling very depressed.....

Hi keyi..u shall upfront wth the employer or else u cant get paid during maternity period. One of condition to entitle maternity leave is u must wth employer at least 3 mths.. n most of the employer r not prefer to have an unhonest employee..u may lose a job after that..U can look for a temp job like 3mths contract job which is more suitable to u I think..hope this help u:')

Hi keyi, I also agree on been honest with your employer. Maybe u try gov jobs as I guess they are more acceptance compared to private?

I'm having a little boy!! =D

Can start bb shopping soon buwhahaaa
