Hi Desert Wind


Lucky you to be going back to work. May sound ridiculous but I am looking forward to going back to work too. Made a wrong decision to have extended mat leave thinking that it would be a nice break from work. But didn’t realize that I would be so bored at home. Have a maid and baby sleeps most of the morning so there’s nothing much to do except to wait for DD1 to return home from school and supervise her work. Probably be better when baby is a bit older and more responsive. Originally planned to return to work in Jan but now thinking of going back earlier…

Hi Trina,
I took a full 3 months of my maternity leave already but still left with about 2 weeks more to go. Right now I will take on flexible basis ie. half-days and one day as and when so that I can be around when both kids are at home at the same time! This week I went back to work \"gently\" by working only half-day in the afternoon. Morning get up late, have time to settle baby and then see DS1 to school. After lunch, just nice to go to work! I wish this is a permanent part-time but no, it is not. But my office is flexible so I will use up the remaining leave in this way!

Think a full 2 months of maternity leave is the minimum one should take to rest. After that, the rest you can always decide to take over one year. Or why not work half-day like me for as much as you can?

Hi Everybody,


I’m counting down to Baby No 4!! Can’t wait for baby to come out. Having piles problems and juggling with exam prep for DS1 (in P5) & DD2 (in P4). Thankfully DS3 is in K2 so no exam.

4 kids in 11 years!! Just wondering how I got myself here. haha. Anyway all the kids are very excited about having another kid in the family. It’s really noisy in the house.

I’m blessed that I run my own training business so I can take the next 3 months off before starting work again in Jan.

It’s almost 6 years since DS3 was born so feeling a bit rusty about the whole baby thing. I guess I’ll just take each day as it comes. Hope to be able to have better success breastfeeding No 4 this time.

Will keep you all posted when I deliver!!

Hi ladies,


Where did you go to buy your baby stuff? Furniture, strollers, car seats, clothes etc. My baby just uses his brothers’ hand me downs (which were bought 7 years ago!) so I haven’t had to buy that many baby stuff (only stuff like diapers etc.). But my friend is expecting and has asked me for advice on this. Not familiar with the market anymore. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Thanks!
