Working in office, undtable first trimester

Hi mummies #advicepls , I’ve been getting on off spotting of brown to pinkish discharge and mild bleeding (once was light red). Been on one week bed rest and 6 duphaston daily. I’m expected to start working next week, which requires me to do site visits and move around for event coordination. Would you request to work from home during this period, how do you share with your boss? Am worried because I’ve already been on HL for 1 week, hope my colleagues will be understanding to cover me while I WFH ): #firsttimemummy

Hi mama, Congratulations and hang in there…must be stressful and full of anxiety during this time. I know that especially since COVID hit, a lot of us have been concerned over job stability from time to time so, while I do not know of your current situation, I’d say to talk to your boss and explain why you had to take hospital leave. Explain the outcome and that you’ll have to take it easy for the time being. Offer alternatives like perhaps covering a role that doesn’t involve too much movement and stress till baby is stronger? I think communication is always good. Also, we tend to always imagine the worst in situations like these - but no harm trying yes? Also, speak with hubby and let him know what you’re intending to do. Talk it out with him and see if you guys can come up with possible options in case speaking with your boss doesn’t turn out well. I believe couples can always work things out together when they’re a team. Hope this helps!

I felt my baby’s teeth coming!

Hi mommies! A few days back I noticed white white (tooth like) thingy in my baby’s gum (incisors) . Today while cleaning his gum I felt that area are protruding. I think he is teething 😍 any mommy knows roughly how long will it takes for the teeth to cut through the gum and how can I help to soothe the pain (if he experiences any?)🙏🏻❤️😁 #firsttimemummy

Hey mama! This is the start of new experiences for both you and baby!!! I find that they tend to be a lot more experimental with food once the teeth kick in! Different baby’s take different durations for their teeth to cut through. I find that to help soothe baby’s gums, there’re a few great ways: 1) freeze wet towels in the freezer and rub them on the gums or let baby chew on them 2) alternatively get water filled tethers and freeze them and let baby chew on them 3) Dentinox worked for all my children! Just place a little on the finger and massage baby’s gums. It’s sweet so most of them don’t reject it 4) teething toys are a lifesaver! Oh, and you might find baby wanting to grab your hand or finger to chew on every now and then - it’s normal.
