- 2021-05-10one side of my nipple won’t be squirting out milk and will only squirt out after pumping for more then 15mins.. what’s going on? what am i supposed to do
- 2021-05-10Hi! I just want to share my story about my baby. I am 24 weeks pregnant. Last April the doctor said that my baby has Pulmonary Artesia (CHD). It means, the valve that is for lungs is no flow and the valve for the body has an open hole.
My question is: is this can change? I mean he is still developing inside my womb, can the whole close and the valve for lungs can be open? Honestly, I haven't asked the cardiologist any questions because I was really so emotional and unbelievable that time.
Thank you for reading and answering my question.

- 2021-05-10Guys! I’m about to start work after so long a proper job after giving birth & my babygirl is 8 month old. I am working shift as that is my only background. From 9-9pm , shift work might be 9-6pm or 2-9pm sometimes only it requires for 12 hr shift as the procedure might take longer so i have no choice but to OT. I am going to proceed to buy a house end of this year or maybe before next year April.
Is it okay for me a mama to work long hours? Or is it bad to leave your baby. As she will be in sch , my sister in law will be fetching her and go to my inlaws place. As both my inlaws have no problem and always been supportive to help me out with my baby as they know we want to work as well to live comfortably for our kids and babies future.
But am i or should i feel bad for working those hours? Should i not work? Sorry guys. I have been feeling guilty the pass few days. But this job is the best as it pays me very well. I feel so sad because i am scared my baby don’t recognise me as her mama nor want to be with me. Or worst feel like i am not taking care of her enough. 🥺

- 2021-05-10Mango red date kombucha
Red Dates (Other Name: Jujubes, 红枣)
1) Lots of Vitamin C - If you think your daily intake of grapes and apples are good sources of Vitamin C, think again. Chinese red dates have 70x to 80x higher levels of Vitamin C!
2) Wide array of nutrients - Red dates also contain loads of Vitamin A, B1, B2, protein, calcium, phosphorous, iron and magnesium.
3) Enriching and replenishing blood - drinking red dates tea regularly for a few months can help to re-balance the body’s Qi and blood deficiency. This allows for period regularity and higher chance for pregnancy!
4) Anti Aging - There is a saying in Chinese " 3 Red Dates a day will help to maintain your youth, 一天三枣,永远不会老!"
5) 8 different types of antioxidant - Scientists have identified eight flavonoids in jujube fruit, including spinosin and swertish, which have sedative properties – undoubtedly the reason jujube seeds are used to treat anxiety and insomnia in traditional Chinese medicine.

- 2021-05-11Hello fellow mummies. I’m week 17 today and I have very tiny baby bump, which looks more like a bloated tummy than a baby bump. Also i haven’t gained any weight yet. Is this normal ? I know that smaller baby bump or no bump at this stage is normal but not gaining weight is normal too in 2nd trimester?
My week 16 doc visit, all was good with baby. Now next appointment is at week 21, for anatomy ultrasound.
I have always been a slim person. I am 153cm tall, and weighed 45kgs 4 years ago when i got married. Now i’m 48kgs for almost 2 years.
I didn’t have that bad nausea in 1st trimester. It was bearable. And now I am also eating constantly in my 2nd trimester, so it’s not that I’m starving myself.
Please advise or share your experience.

- 2021-05-11I’ve been diagnosed with a 10cm ovary cyst at 29 weeks of pregnancy! Like now you detect the cyst? After all the scans done monthly!? I’m just very worried how is that possible and they even give me a later date for the trans abdominal scan to check on the cyst! When I asked them you want me to wait so long? All she could tell me is it’s fully booked... should I consider checking with SGH? Or can I even do that? I feel kkh is really not taking it seriously..

Just found out that my baby has intermediate risk of DS, but as I have the vanishing twin syndrome (2nd twin no longer viable), my gynae says that any further tests like panorama or Oscar will all be rendered inaccurate due to the vanishing twin’s presence. Just want to hear from others if there may be any cases whereby you had an intermediate DS risk indicator but baby turned out fine in the end?

- 2021-05-11A bit of a long story..sharing my own personal journey in battling PCOS.
I've been plagued by PCOS ever since I was able to menstruate. Once, during Secondary School, I was menstruating for more than a month and that had freaked me out. I told my mom about it then and she sent me to a specialist right away. That's how I was first diagnosed with PCOS - in that consultation chair at Thomson Medical.
Ever since then, I was given birth control pills (Diane35) to help me kickstart my menstruations otherwise I could go on for many months without a period. It had never bothered me then, since no period = more convenient. The only thing that bothered me most was the weight I seem to gain like nobody's business and the seeming impossibility of shedding it.
Some effects of PCOS include weight gain, hirsutism (excessive hair growth..another bane of mine), acne, less chances of getting pregnant, greater risk of diabetes and cancer etc.
Fast forward to 2019, my husband and I finally decided to actively try and conceive. We tried for about 6 months naturally to no avail, so we went to KKH for consultations (only reason for KKH is coz it's cheaper). We were ordered to do a whole hosts of tests (test to confirm PCOS, check if I have diabetes, check the health of my uterus and fallopian tubes...). Finally, we were put on Letrozole to help me ovulate.
It didn't work. And my last appointment at KKH in Feb 2021, the doctor concluded that Letrozole wasn't working and started to recommend me IUI and IVF as alternatives. However, these methods went against my own personal beliefs, and I decided to no longer seek medical help for the time being as I felt I wasn't getting the support I needed.
In mid 2020, I googled about possibilities of getting pregnant with PCOS and I stumbled upon a few websites that claim it was possible to find healing via natural ways. These include significant lifestyle changes, diet changes and supplements.
Personally, I chose to follow the Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pcos30daychallenge/?ref=share as the owner Kym Campbell seemed like she has done a lot of research about the subject and she has also broken it down to simple achievable goals for others. What's more, she also has PCOS, and was able to conceive naturally. Reading through many of the posts in the Facebook group where women shared their struggles and success stories, I was immediately sold on it and felt right at home with these other ladies who are on the same journey.
The 30 day challenge is free, and it opens every few months (follow the group to find out more). I didn't really follow the timeline strictly and just did it at my own timing. The key thing is to just keep at it - even if you slip and have cheat days every now and then, it's important to pick yourself up and continue.
Because PCOS is linked with insulin resistance, it is then important to eat more conscientiously so as not to exarcebate the condition. There's a ton of science behind which I'm not going to attempt to explain, so check out the group to find out more.
Here are the changes I made, bit by bit over a few months (pace yourself as well, because it can be too discouraging to change at one go):
1. Cut unhealthy carbs, only the occasional bread, pastry and pasta about maybe once a fortnight or a month.
2. Cut dairy (I thought this would be tough, but I immediately felt so much better without the diarrhea). Yes no milk or cheese. Choose almond, coconut or oat milk instead. Some people ask "then what about calcium?" You can still get calcium from leafy greens, brocolli, nuts and supplements as well.
3. Cut soy products (due to some hormone thing). This was painful for me because I love tofu. But fermented soy products like miso is fine.
4. Cut gluten. This, like dairy, is mostly due to sensitivity. I am sensitive to dairy, but I wasn't sure if I was sensitive to gluten. Besides, in Singapore, it's really hard to cut gluten since almost everything has gluten.. but just try to reduce as much as you can.
5. Cut alcohol.
6. Cut sugar. Very important.
7. Eat more fruits (but not the starchy ones like bananas). Blueberries are good for the antioxidants.
8. Eat more eggs. I am comforted by this because I love eggs. Feel free to experiment on different cooking styles. I love making chawanmushi :)
9. Eat more protein! Pack on the meat! Steak for breakfast!
10. Exercise more. Seriously. You don't have to go crazy and exercise everyday, but do exercise more (they recommend 5x30min sessions a week). I go running maybe 1-2 times a week, cycling 1-2 times a week and some statics at home 1-2 times a week. I know, I could have done more haha.
11. Take regular supplements. Do check with your physician first though. For me, I take folic acid, inositol, zinc, omega fish oil, apple cider vinegar and chromium. Do your research and seek medical advice.
One of the benefits is that you will lose weight. Having PCOS usually means it's difficult to lose weight, and I've struggled with it for so long I never thought it was possible for me to lose more than 1-2 kg. I rarely weigh myself nowadays but I believe I have shed at least 5kg. The weight loss around the waistline is also visible as well.
Another good thing is that it should also help with natural ovulation. And just yesterday, we did a pregnancy test and we found out that we are pregnant!!! ❤️
I believe it's God's faithfulness and also the biological effects of keeping to the lifestyle changes. Go cysters! The diagnosis is not a death sentence to your hopes of starting a family. It can be beaten!

- 2021-05-14I saw that it is better for nursing mums to stop nursing for 5-7 days after vaccination. I let my baby latch on all the time so I do not have pump or milk bottles. Therefore it's impossible for me to pump and keep for post vaccine use. And my baby have been latching on and may not accept a bottle so quickly. Just want to know what will you do if you have the same situation as me. Will you continue to take the vaccine? Even if it's safe to continue breastfeeding after taking vaccine, will you take the risk?

He did a blood test today which will also determine i will face a miscarriage and schedule a scan next week which deep down i knew it will just be a empty sac. I does not have spotting nor bleeding. I had bloating and indigestion and extreme cramps which require injection and dhapston tablets. He also said that my body sense it is a unhealthy sac and is trying to expel out but couldnt.

Neck skin thickness is alright, but the nasal bone is not obvious and dr used the term "hypoplastic nose" and gotta wait for a week for the results and i am so anxious! Does anyone has any clue abt this eg if the blood result risk is good, do i take another scan a week after to scan for the nose again? Or do i take nipt + another scan for the nose too? Just exploring the possibilities in advance. I do read that the nose does grow slower in some asian babies and i hope that's for my case. Pls share with me if you have been thru sth similiar, would certainly appreciate it.
Thank you!

- 2021-05-15I'm week 7 but feel like I've already been pregnant for a long time. I feel ungrateful for being unhappy because we had a miscarriage before and getting pregnant again was not easy. But it's difficult to feel grateful when you feel sick all day but can't eat, or when you're bloated like a balloon. What's worse is you are discouraged from sharing your pregnancy with others so early so you need to isolate yourself cos you're sick all the time but nobody should be able to find out. Sigh sorry for the rant but googling "Is pregnancy worth it" wasn't helping so I hoped someone out there might understand. I can't see the joys or benefits of pregnancy at this moment and it's really bringing me down

- 2021-05-15Hello! Any breastfeeding or pumping Moms here planning to get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Official MOH recommendation from early this year appears to be to stop breastfeeding for 5 to 7 days after getting the vaccine. I’m still undecided.

I stopped taking the DHA supplements my ObGyn recommended (at about 20 weeks) after belatedly realising they contained fish oil. I happen to be a vegetarian.
Has anyone tried algae based DHA pills? Any recommendations?
