Alexa808 · 07/05/2008 01:37

Good morning,

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and am looking for a massage lady that can come to our house (Great World City, River Valley Rd. area) for massages.

Do any of you know anyone they'd like to recommend and what the arrangements and prices are like?

Oh, more by the by: if anyone knows a really good threading place fr eyebrow shaping, etc, please let me know too.

Many thanks!

I can do that for you - do youpay travelling expenses? I live on the south west coast of the UK?

Sorry couldn't resist!

Hi Alexa

Are you looking for someone to come and give you a massage now while you're pregnant or are you looking for one of those Malay ladies who massage your tummy back into shape post-baby. I have friends who have done the latter and swear by it.

I have the number of a lady who comes and removes all hair "top to bottom" for $50 (not sure if it's just waxing though) and don't know if she does River Valley, I know she definitely does the east coast.

Hehe, pindy you're a naughty monkey

You've just made me laugh, have been grumpy all day... Thank you!

Hello Rojak,

am looking for a massage lady for now. Have back ache, swollen legs, water retention, the lot...

Interesting to hear about the malay ladies that do the post natal massage. Am at 17 weeks but have heard about it and am really interested. So your friends are happy doing it?

You could ask the auntie you have for waxing if shed come to river valley rd, great world city area. Or I could call her and ask.

Many thanks.

I've never used her but got her number from a friend who does use for another friend who was looking. Her name is kanchan 94389767 - you could ring and see if she does threading too.

I'll ask for the postnatal massage lady's number - think they use a combination of herbs and oils and come for a set number of days for the massage. Very traditional and popular among the Malay community.

Alexa808 · 08/05/2008 02:47

Thank you Rojak! I'll ring her.

Hi Alexa,

Welcome to Singapore. Just back from visiting the UK and feeling a little jet-lagged...

A colleague of mine has a great lady who does the post natal massage - I'll get you the number. A lot of others have used her as well (I will be come August). Apparently you need to book well in advance though...

Let me know if you are interested in meeting up at any point as I am nearby.

Alexa808 · 08/05/2008 08:23

Oh yes, please expectant!

I'm due in October so still have a bit of time. Would love to meet up. My email is 'auric' @ 'gmx' dot 'net'

Hi,

Tried to send an e-mail but not sure if it arrived safely. The massage lady is Sue and you can call her on 9272 4441.

Expectant · 14/05/2008 06:21

Sorry forgot to mention she does pre-natal massage as well. About $50 for 2 hours.

Alexa808 · 15/05/2008 12:29

Hello expectant, thanks for the message. I haven't been able to view my gmx account because I have forgotten my password...[mumbles something like 'pregnancy brain' and shuffles her feet]

Many thanks! I'll ring her.

My friend used a great post pregnancy massage lady, let me know if you want the details?

The Brow House is great for eyebrow threading, its a part of Strip (which good for brazilians or less painful procedures). They have places in the Paragon, Holland Village etc.

I teach baby massage in Singapore if your interested in classes when baby's born, just let me know (she whispers)

Expectant · 19/05/2008 02:39

Hi Quokka,

Hi-jacking this one a bit but I am expecting due in August and would be interested in the baby massage once it's born.

quokka · 19/05/2008 05:53

Fantastic you can email me on lauren akers @ yahoo dot com

I'm not sure I'm allowed to use mn as a platform so I will leave it at

We should all have a meetup soon there are a few of us in Singapore?

Expectant · 19/05/2008 09:11

Thanks and will e-mail. Would be good to meet up but am feeling far too hot, tired and lazy to organise something. I'm also working today on a public holiday because Hong Kong and Singapore can't seem to agree on when Buddha was born

Expectant · 19/05/2008 09:13

P.S. I suppose I'm not working too hard as have been checking MN most of the day

quokka · 19/05/2008 11:56

My husband has been working ALL weekend

I had both of my children in the UK so have no idea what its like to be pregnant here - I struggle with the heat as it is!

Alexa808 · 22/05/2008 01:19

Hello quokka, thanks a lot.

I'm going to Strip for my waxing but haven't been to brow house. Will have a look and ring them today.

Pre-/Post-Pregnancy massage ladies, please donate your numbers (I'm amassing ab black book of little helpers).

I hope you don't mind me taking down your email address, too so I can email you for details on baby massage. Sounds good!
