[quote=\"MizzNAH\"]I was just hit by a huge bomb yesterday. My Indonesian maid of 11 months was tested positive for pregnancy during a routine medical check up. Thanks to the mandatory off day, she was paid $150 for a sex service.


I just started with a new job. Getting a new maid will need new training regime and more salary.

Anyone with such experience with maid pregnant, please advise.

Send her back to the agent asap.

I think there have been cases where employers have requested to MOM for the maid to stay for a few weeks while they find a replacement or at least to cover some of that time. It will be reported to MOM so it may be better just to contact them first, explain your situation and see how long they will allow her to stay.

I was lucky when it happened to me as we figured it out before her medical so we had about a month before we had to send her back.[/quote]Just curious....what do you mean by \"I was lucky when it happened to me as we figured it out before her medical so we had about a month before we had to send her back.\"?

She probably meant that they found out about the maid's pregnancy about one month before her routine medical check-up. So they had about one month to do the nec eg look for replacement.

Hi Mrs Ang,


Your Phil maid can go to a remittance branch.
Ameertech Remittance & Exchange Services Pte Ltd (http://www.moneytransfer.com.sg)
Pay2home http://www.pay2home.com/
or Western Union
http://www.westernunion.sg/en/

If your php helper has day off she can go lucky plaza to queue at the banks (PNB etc). There are many php banks there. But the queues are very long if its a weekend day off.

However, my helper told me she'd rather use Ameertech branch near my estate to transfer money to her family thru BDO a/c.

The exchange rates and remittance charges differ across the remittance companies. So you helper may want to check first. Usually they will require the workpermit and you fill in a piece of paper when you remit. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot! :love:

Exactly - her medical was due a few weeks later but if you are cancelling the work permit you do not need to do it. So we used that time to find a replacement then sent her back. We didn't even need to report to MOM.

Hi members,

Need some advice. My Indon maid is pregnant and we intend to send her back next Friday. I already bought the air ticket and get the agent to cancel her work permit on Monday.

The problem is she is not aware of our arrangement. I have a few questions.

1. She will depart at 9 am on Fri. How to break the news.
2. Will AirAsia allow her knowing she is pregnant. I have a doctor memo saying that she is pregnant but never mention the stage. According to her she is in 1.5 months.
3. Do I need to inform MOM first before Friday.

And any other advise, please.

How did your neighbour find out that her maid is pregnant?
