- 2021-04-06I'm about 7 weeks pregnant. This is my first baby. My morning sickness is really bad. I'm feeling nauseous and giddy. I've been vomiting alot. 🤮 Body feels really weak.

- 2021-04-06I'm having my week 20 scan next week at KKH (subsidies pt) , i was wondering if husband are allowed to be in? With the current covid situation and hearing other mummies stories, the answers are half. Allowed and have to stay outside (?)
I even got a msg for the appointment that they say accompanying person is discourage from entering. But I'm hoping my husband would be able to enter as its his 2nd time seeing the baby.
Please tell me that your partner is allowed to go in 😭😭😭
Other then that,
What can i expect for the week 20 scan?
Should i fast on that day (since its the fasting month) but i heard that doc do ask you to drink some water / sweet drinks so that the baby will be active and cooperate.
Please share your experience so i won't be a lost duck during that day 😂

- 2021-04-06My period is regular and as of today, it’s 3 days late. I had just completed night shift and took clear blue digital pregnancy test but result was negative. Last period was from 6-12 March. Last unprotected was on 18 March which was supposedly 2 days before ovulation.
Last week I had sore breasts and slight mood swings (the usual pms symptoms I would get before menses) however, they disappeared a few days back.
I was pretty busy and stressed out for the past 2 weeks due to work commitments as well.
Am trying to conceive. Would appreciate help please 🙏🏻🙏🏻 should I still repeat the test/ go to a clinic to check it out or I’m definitely not pregnant? 3 days late, could it be that hcg isn’t high enough?#pleasehelp

- 2021-04-06Hi. My 3 years old girl has been attending preschool for 3 months and yet she still ver picky and fussy on her food. She only wants to eat white rice and eggs and corn
- 2021-04-06Just got myself put on drip for a while yesterday because of the hyperemesis again. Generally not too keen on the taste of water (husband is puzzled why there's a taste to water) so I can hardly bring myself to drink plain water. So far what works is hot Milo and I'm not adding milk or sugar to it. We have a can of Milo Gao Kosong and I just mix a few spoons of this with hot water and keep it in my thermal bottle and have it every few minutes or so at night. Not the healthiest or best choice but I'll take whatever I can keep in my stomach and not get turned off. And bread. These two are what my stomach doesn't reject and I'm glad I can still eat something somehow.
Hope the rest of you who's going through the same are staying strong and keeping well. :)

- 2021-04-07Hi mummies! I'm both latching and pumping my milk. Earlier on, I was eating but I didn't know the dish was going to turn bad until a few mouthful. Will it affect my breastmilk? Should I pump & throw it away? #advicepls #breastfeeding
- 2021-04-07Hi mummies/daddies. I have a 6 y/o boy weighing less than 18kg. He is very very active. He seem to not know the meaning of ‘tired’. It’s very difficult to make him sleep at night because too active. He will stay up til 11pm sometimes later. But when i want to wake him up for school in the morning. Oh god, bless my patience with this boy. Putting him sleep at night is difficult, waking him up in the morning is 10x difficult. My boy doesn’t like to eat vege, all types of vege, you name it. He likes to eat candies, chocolates, rice(similar to a teenager/adult portion). He eats well but doesn’t seem to grow. He’s been drinking Dugro since toddler. Average of 2-3 times a day. Before school, after school(sometimes) and before bed. Do you have any best supplements or any suggestions on how to make my boy grow? I’m so worried. Thank you in advance❤️🥺 #pleasehelp #advicepls #Vitamin #kids #health #toddler #milk #growth #metabolism
- 2021-04-07Hi all, my 2 month old baby recently has an increase of vomiting. For the past 2 weeks, some of the times he did not finish his milk, his usual intake is 90ml FM, but recently some of the time he drank 50ml or less. I am worried is he has pyloric stenosis.#advicepls #pleasehelp
- 2021-04-07Hi all, I was prescribed Utrogestan on top of duphaston which I have been taking since I found out I was pregnant. Was told to take utrogestan at night and continue with duphaston in the day till it finishes. I was prescribed both because I previously had a MC.
However, taking utrogestan makes me quite uncomfortable. Feel bloated and a little harder to breathe when I take it.
Anyone experiences such side effects? Thanks. #1stimemom #advicepls

I feel that the worst part of natural delivery is the episiotomy. Contractions comes and goes and stops once baby is out, but the agony of the episiotomy is OHEMGEE!! 😫
From the stitching to the first few hours of immediate recovery period, and the "forget cannot sit cross legged" moments after. 😭
Anybody else feels the same? 😅🙋🏽♀️
- 2021-04-08Hi mummies! Just asking if anyone had a similar experience
My LO is almost 10 weeks old now.
I have breastfed him for 3 days and had difficulty latching after that because he was being fussy and kept crying.
So I have been exclusively pumping since. Used to try to direct latch but gave up long ago.
But today, I randomly tried to latch him as he suddenly turned his head towards me and tried to suck my shirt.
AND HE IS LATCHING FOR HIS 2 FEEDINGS STRAIGHT. 🥰#1stimemom

- 2021-04-09Hello mummies,
Due to financial issues I was encouraged to not have the baby with me.
However, I am still finding ways where I can change the minds of my family/boyfriend who tells me I am not able to do it and I will be struggling financially.
I have tried going to SSO and also KKH's MSW and both rejected my application because I am earning 'too much'
Is there other ways for financial assistance I could reach out for should I be a single mother or if I would to get married with my boyfriend but he would end up being the sole breadwinner?
Please advice #1stimemom #advicepls #pleasehelp

- 2021-04-09I started noticing puppps rashes from week 38 onwards. The itch was killing me and nights were horrible even with aircon.
Would like to share some of the things that worked for me. But would also like to find out if there are other tried and tested remedies?
1) hot showers - i know many articles advised against hot showers as it will aggrevate the itch. But the whole point was that you get the gratification of itching the itch w/o actually scratching it!!! Feels super super good after the shower. And the itch surprisingly doesn’t return until a few hours later.
2) suu balm rapid itch relief moisturiser - applying this miracle balm that contains menthol and is safe for pregnancy after my hot shower is so so so soothing. I also use it at any time I feel itch as it helps to soothe the itch and also moisturise my skin.
3) tea tree oil - I used it when there are new eruptions to prevent me from scratching them further
4) neoderm cream - prescribed by my gynae for my itch but I seldom use it unless I’m crying at night from the horrible itch and nothing above could save it.
5) I find that eating clean helps too and I stayed away from prawns ever since my eruption (suspected allergen for me)

Next week i am going back, i am not sure if he is going to drill me again. I cant report him to MOM cause i have hit the salary threshold. Not sure what to do... #firstbaby

- 2021-04-10Hi my 1yr 3 month baby is still not sleeping through the night.
He usually sleeps around 8plus, wakes up once between 10pm -12am (this one usually very quickly he will
Sleep again) and usually wake up once more between 2-4am which usually will take about an hour to put him back to sleep. Then he will be fully awake around 6-7am plus. During the day usually he naps twice around half to an hour plus each time.
Should I be concern he’s not sleeping throughout at night cos I notice his light eye bags and worries about his sleep affecting his growth.
Anyone has similar experience?
