Shoe recommendations for pregnant women

Any recommendations for work shoes for expecting mothers? With this rainy season, I'm looking for a well supported shoe with good soles to prevent any slips. Thank you in advance! #firsttiimemom

Yes, go for Skechers. I wore that brand when I was working back then and it's really comfortable for pregnant women.

Infant big appetite

Hi I am a FTM here and have a 3 weeks old infant. I feed my bb on demand and realized her appetite have increased from 90ml to 100ml. (If I stick to 90ml, she still demand for more so i increased to 100ml and she can finish it and fall aslp again) I am kinda shocked for a 3 weeks old bb to drink so much. Please advise if this is the normal intake for 3 weeks old bb? What is the avg guideline? #advicepls #firsttiimemom

60-80ml (: the avg for my baby when she was 1-2mths old, now her appetite has grown to 100-120ml, she's 10mths old on solids

Prepping for labour

Hi mommies. At which month do you start prepping the hospital bag? What are the things needed to be packed?#pregnancy #bantusharing #advicepls #firsttiimemom

34 or 35 weeks can start to pack cos labour is unexpected you may never know when. You don't need to bring unnecessary things and a heavy bag. You need : A set of clothes for you & baby (mittens, booties, cap if needed and a swaddle) to go home with. Toiletries. Breast pad if you have started to leak. Hp charger. Admission letter & I/C. Cardigan or jacket cos it may get cold at night. No need to bring breast pump unless you hire a lactation consultant. Most times, you'll be asked to latch directly. Baby diaper, wet wipes are all provided and don't forget to bring them home too. Baby car seat if you're going home with your own car.

Maternity starts

Hi mummies. My due date is on 15th April. Just wanna check when did you all applied for maternity at work? I would like to start mine on the start of March. Is it too early? Can i check with the gynae if its okay? We will need the letter from the gynae before it’s approved right? #1stimemom #bantusharing #advicepls #firsttiimemom

Super Mum

maternity leave can be taken up to 4 weeks before delivery. i dont think you need a gynae letter for this, as long as there's mutual agreement with your employer. you can use the maternity leave calculator on the MOM website as a guide. if not mistaken, once you and your boss are agreeable on the arrangements, you can submit the maternity leave form to your HR from the beginning of your maternity leave.
