24hr-mum, don’t be bothered if yr maid don’t reply. This is the reality of life. To them this is just a job and you should think of it that way and you won’t be bothered.

Hi pqy,


I am in the similar boat. The medical report was supposed to be received by MOM by the 15th of Nov. I only brought my helper to the clinic just last Friday ...... :nailbite:

But I have been late before .....

Update on my maid.


Went to see the GP today; and he believes that she has POC (retained product of conception) which explains why she is still bleeding after all this time.
They've given her Norethisterone which is a synthetic progesterone; hopefully to stop the bleeding. If it doesn't, she'd have to go for a D&C.

Apparently this costs S$1000 which in the doctor's words, \"you are not obliged to pay.\"

At the docs, new issues revealed:
- She mentioned that she has had a positive pg test back in August in PH (why didn't the agent tell me?) but she refuted becoz she's still had her menses.
- apparently, there was another positive test in October but by then she had miscarried in late Sep, so the agent had her sent to the OB&G.

And when I went home to pick her up earlier on, she was limping becoz her heel was swelling. Oh what medical liabilities these are!

Oh dear...and she's been with you only for 2 weeks. When the agent sent her to the OB&G, was any procedure done? If this was all done but not declared, can't you return her to the agent? What does the agent say?

Beanstalk, she didn't have money to pay the OB&G so they basically left her as that. I spoke to the agent who was simply no help! :pokeeye: he told me to \"return her with a health declaration\" claiming that he didn't know the issues beforehand from his PH side. Yeah, :censored: get real!

beanstalk:

She's not likely to be able to work, which is no help to you. Perhaps give her some compassion money and send her home for treatment? Medical fees in Singapore can bleed anyone dry. It's a difficult situation, especially since it involves someone who is basically a random stranger

I am watching her for now, beanstalk...I know what you mean. With the medication, the bleeding has stopped or so she says (can only trust her right? How to check?

We went for a birthday party yesterday and she claimed to be very tired and so she rested early. :scratchhead: I need to go away on business for 10 days so I'm bidding my time for now. When I'm back, the 10-day period for the medication to take effect would already be over....so we'd know for sure if she's okay.

Sigh, that's the bane of a working mother's life eh? Need a maid, but have to live with what is dished out to you :slapshead:
