Kea,
I am surprised that your supervisor is not very flexible, pte gynae and pte hospital are recognised generally for surgery, visit, and maternity. It is not like u r going for plastic surgery etc. Think after your ML, u can source for a new job.
Since u r on a 5 day fixed work week schedule, ur salary shd only be based on the no. of working holidays including PH of the month. Diff months have different no. of working days. The following is the salary calculation and the no. of working days in the year 2008 by MOM. This would help u to do your own calculation of your salary.

Salary for an Incomplete Month of Work
For the purpose of calculating salary, a ‘month' or ‘complete month' refers to any one of the months in the calendar year.
An incomplete month of work is one where an employee:
-Starts work after the first day of the month;
-Leaves employment before the last day of the month;
-Takes no-pay leave of one day or more during the month; or
Is on reservist training during the month.
Salary payable to a monthly-rated employee for an incomplete month of work is calculated using the formula below:
Salary payable for incomplete month of work =
Monthly gross rate of pay1
--------------------------------------------------- X
Total number of working days in that month2
Total number of days the employee actually worked in that month3
1 Refers to the total amount of money including allowances payable to an employee for working for one month, excluding:
a) Additional payments by way of:
- Overtime payments;
- Bonus payments; or
- Annual Wage Supplements;
b) Any sum paid to the employee for reimbursement of special expenses incurred by him/her in the course of employment;
c) Productivity incentive payments; and
d) Travelling, food or housing allowances.
2 Excludes rest days, non-working days but includes public holidays. For employees with a fixed rest day on Sunday and/or non-working day on Saturday, the total number of working days per month, for year 2008, is tabulated in this table.
3 Includes public holidays, paid hospitalisation leave or annual leave if entitled.
If the number of working hours in any working day is five hours or less, it shall be regarded as a half-day. If it is more than five hours, it shall be regarded as one working day.
I wonder if u can go to kkh and get a govt HL for your HL rest since your employer is so myopic.

Thanks calamari, I was hunting high and low for white cot for my #1. Also, its quite difficult to get 28"x52" cot.
Finally i got one from Taime, white, 28"x52 AND can convert to toddler's bed. Actually wanted to get another one for my #2, but they don't bring in tat model anymore :-(.
Can your's be converted top toddelr's bed?

chewy,
What is the benefit of taking Hashima? Do you take the bottled ones? Very troublesome to cook this leh.. Why cannot take bird's nest in the last trim? We bought the SG mint coins ourselves lah.. pils didn't buy anything for our bb. Yours gave you $ to buy tonics, is very good already! Btw, I saw the Avent cream at KKH pharmacy, costs $17+. Will be going to paragon this weekend too!
Btw, where is the talk at SCGS? Function hall?
I saw the Brest friend pillow, costs around $100 during the Taka fair iirc! Very ex!
Geryl,
Which type of Desitin cream did you use for prevention? Cos Mrs Wong actually said it is too harsh for daily use. I bought the creamy version but it seems like it's for curing, not prevention. Me counting down too... work is very stressful.
Gervynne,
You can buy the cream from pharmacy but it's ex. Or else check out forum threads for overseas spree. Your gynae will be able to tell you whether bb's engaged.
I bought 1 box of medela milkbags just in case. I think many mummies buy playtex and lanisoh. Like calamari said, only thing about playtex is u need a separate clip to seal the bag.
Kea,
I'll choose health over $. You can't buy health with $. I might be forfeiting my bonus if I extend my leave after ML, but bb's more impt. Btw, they should deduct 7 days from your 46 days quota, and not deduct fr your pay since you still have 39 days of HL to use for the year. Strange that your company is SO calculative. *sigh* Better change job.
cheesycake,
My wt gain is 10kg not 5kg.

cath: have you shortlisted any names yet? maybe we can help you see which names are nice haha
tsukushi: i also dunno where in SCGS is the talk leh. I guess there should be signs lah... what colour u wearing today? Maybe can spot Xiang and you later. I am in all black
My friend gave me her breastfeeding pillow. Cost only $40 from Metro leh, but no brand one lah. Guess should be good enough. Anyway, I thought Brest Friend pillow costs only about $80, how come its $100 at Taka? So ex~

I also bought the desitin cream (2 packs).
For the Avent barrier cream, the tube doesn't look the same as the one that Mrs Wong used in the class. It's actually much slimmer.
<font color="0000ff">Re: SCGS Talk @ 7.00pm @ Auditorium</font>
The talk will be conducted in the auditorium. Call up SCGS to check, the auditorium is facing the main road, quite near the main road. Can ask the security guard if you are unsure.

calamari, i'm v interested in GD stuffs. I'm thinking of whether to go or not, still. With the regular contractions and pain, i'm not sure if i can tahan until that day also. I called GD and they said that if i were to purchasing their kits, they'll give you one-to-one lesson on how exactly to use it. Plus, the kits can be paid with UOB 6 mth-interest free instalment. I'm still waiting for my hubby's NOD. The lady mentioned that the lesson they give u, would be betta than e talk or books or even e dvds which they sell.
I'm half way reading HOW SMART IS YOUR BABY?

oops... Sorry Sherin & Tsukushi..it shld be:
Double boiled Hashima with red dates helps nourish Yin, replenish blood & moistens dryness. Best drunk with empty stomach or first thg in morning. However,Mrs Wong says hashima is high in cholesterol. Oh, better to drink the raw ones.
My book says BIRD'S NEST not suitable for people who has heartburns & constipation. It's recommended to be consumed in 1-2 tri. Guess it's bit more heaty.. So now I stopped drinking it.
