Lower backache at 31weeks

Any mommies experience lower backache during this period of pregnancy? An achy feelings that goes away after some rest. Another week till my next gynae appt. #pregnancy #31weeks #lastTrimester

Hey mama, Lower back pain is normal especially in the third trimester. Try using a hot compress on your lower back and making sure you don’t sit in bucket seats - if you have to, put a pillow so your pelvis isn’t sunken into the seat. Posture is everything so imagine you have a string pulling you from the top of your head and have the rest of your body aligned. Look at your self on the mirror and try practicing not thrusting your hips forward and not arching your back when you walk. Cat and cow stretches are also good.

Routine Gynae check up stop at 36 week?

Hi moms, Would like to know how often you guys go for Gynae check up for 3rd trimester? Was having check up once every 4 weeks at KKH. Week 36 was my last check up and was being told that everything is fine. Then my Gynae asked me if nothing don’t need to come back anymore. Until my scheduled cesarean date (week 39) Is this normal? I thought after week 36 will be more crucial and need to visit more often? How do I know if the amniotic fluid (the water inside) will suddenly decrease? Or umbilical cord will be twisted / round neck ?? #37weekNow #3rdtrimester #lastTrimester #checkupfrequency #kkh

Hi dear, Did you probe and ask further? Sometimes it’s good for us to ask the questions we need to ask so that the doctor knows what we’re thinking and feeling about what’s been told to us. Without the questions, they might think we’re okay with everything when really what they’ve done is added a level of anxiety that’s not good for baby.

Nipple Cream Brands

Any good nipple cream brands to recommend? Saw the earthmama one being highly raved, any reviews? Also what’s worth getting from Mama Choice? Got a $30 voucher to use! #advicepls #firsttimemom #lastTrimester

You can also use Cocoa Butter for Nipple Cream. My personal favourite. Yet to try Mama's Choice but love to get my hands on their product.
