2021-09-27Hi there, I have yet to give birth to my child and I’m worried that I may not be producing milk as I have seen from my friends who have given birth. I think I should prepare formula milk for my NB just in case but not sure which type of milk to buy? Any recommendations for newborn’s milk? #pleasehelp #advicepls #bantusharing #pregnancy

2021-09-27Hi guys , i wanna share and ask about yours opinions. So the thing is yesterday my husband invite his friends over to play mahjong together with my MIL. We have a 1.5 years old little cute son , my son is curious about the mahjong so keep going and bothered them playing so my husband insult me to take care of this amazing son alone. At the same time my MIL ask me to cook for her while she was playing mahjong. Another thing is that , our housework also need to be done by me at the same day. Im so tired and exhausted cuz u know baby wont just sit down, he will hang around everywhere and i need to done my housework as well . They finished playing mahjong at night 10pm (since morning 11am) . And when i wanna go to bed, there is still a bunch of clothes that need to be put back to the rack, i asked my husband to help me with a tired face , and he ended up scolding me about my tired face , said that i no need put such face. Said “what r u complaining at? U just take care of our child, nothing to be tired about etc.” We quarrel abit and i beg him to not shout as our baby is sleeping next to us but he dont care , he just wanna make a fuss until my MIL come. Then my husband was trying to tell my MIL that i was very tired to do housework etc which is making me cry. Cause it’s quite embarrassing. And what i upset the most is that i cant do anything .. please advice 😔😔😔 #1stimemom #firstbaby #MotherInLaw #husbandandwife #husbandandwifeforlife #wifeproblem

2021-09-27I’m going to be induce as my baby is big according to my ob-gyn. I’m taking private right now. However, I’m planning to go for B2 class instead during delivery. Since my ob-gyn is the one that suggested this. I’m just wandering if it’s still ‘safe’ to go with other doctors on induction since I’m taking B2 and I can’t get my own ob-gyn unless I take A or B1. So ya.
2021-09-27Hi mummies #1stimemom does kkh do 3d scan? And for 2d scan are they able to detect if baby have lip cleft? Will they inform us? Or we will nned to do 3d scan to detect this?#advicepls #firstbaby

2021-09-27Hi, I’m a Hepatitis B virus carrier and recently my dr informed that I have a high viral load. Since I’m pregnant, she advised for me to start on medications in my 3rd trimester, mainly to reduce transmission risk to the baby during delivery. Just wondering if any mummies have been in the same position before and how was your baby after delivery? #HEPATITIS #hepb #pregnancy
2021-09-27Hi Mummies, I just went for my first checkup at kkh today. According to the scan, i am at 7 weeks but according to the Dr my first day of last period was about 8 weeks ago so it’s not that accurate. Hence she is asking me to come back in about 3 more weeks to do another scan. I just want to know if this is normal? Is there anything that i need to take note of? I’m a first time mum and quite worried. Another thing is, is there a way that i could claim my chekcup bills etc via Medisave? When i’m at the hospital earlier on, nobody went through the payment options with me. But i have seen people were being attended at the “Payment Via Medisave” counter. And i ended up paying cash just now.. Anyone can advice any further?

2021-09-27How do i increase more supply for breastmilk? It's been 2 weeks and I haven't been getting enough milk or no milk at all! 😭 Since my 3rd week pp, one of the day I didn't eat much, milk totally decrease from that day onwards. I ate rice, soup and vegetable alot and hot water during confinment but my milk is still not increasing. I don't really latch my lo as she dosent know how to drink properly and quite impatient and with the current situation of my milk supply won't be able to latch her as she don't get any milk. I did express my milk but its sad that I don't really have much milk compare to a few weeks ago. It's been only a month since I give birth, and I don't want to stop producing milk Any advice? I tried lactation drink before, it does help but I only for awhile and I managed to pump till 30ml only and hasn't been increasing 😭 Expressing my breast, dosent even reach a spoonful and it gets depressing. #firstbaby #1stimemom #advicepls #pleasehelp #pregnancy

2021-09-27My 3+mo baby, around 6kg, is still waking 3-4 times a night to latch. I can tell sometimes it's just for comfort because she only latches for 5 mins before falling back asleep and doesn't suck very hard. Is it safe to start weaning her off the feeds at the age or do I need to wait till she's older? I cannot force her to drink more in the day, she will gag if I insist. She also doesn't take pacifier, we tried various brands and shapes but she rejected all.

2021-09-28Hi, FTM here - my 12 week old is exclusively formula fed and is suddenly not taking much milk the past few days. She’s not finishing her usual feed amount and doesn’t seem hungry, yet appears alert and responsive when awake. She seems to fuss if we try to continue to feed her. Diaper frequency appears the same except she occasionally poops once in 2 days. should I take her to the doc to check it out? Am super stressed :(

2021-09-28Hi mamas, I’m at Week 32 and baby is 1.6kg. Gynae has advised for me to help baby gain just a little weight (150-200g or so)! Any healthy methods to do so? Am already eating to my best efforts (full-fat milk daily + 4 meals a day). My metabolism is quite high so it’s been hard to gain weight. I personally would prefer not eating sugary things like durian and ice cream and bubble tea!

2021-09-28i have 2 issues here. 1) my 2.5 mths old girl has been on bottle feed (breast milk) till 2 weeks ago we decided to latch her when she woke up in the middle of the night for milk. gradually she rejected bottle and only want to be latched. my wife is returning to work soon and this wont work out. this has been for more than 1 week. 2) most worrying. she dont seems to be hungry. even when sometimes she accept bottle, it would be like 60-80ml, rejecting the remaining. and it can be like 4 hrs interval. wont she feels hungry or likely her stomach is full of gas which makes her feel full? yes she still pee and poo regularly and sleep well. any suggestion/advise?
2021-09-28Hi Mummies, Can recommend which breast pump works for you? I’m looking at Imani, Be Mine or Spectra. Appreciate any inputs! Thank you! 🥰
2021-09-28I chose to get shot on my left arm and after a few hours... my left breast started to feel very swollen as if I need to pump kind of feeling. It started leaking before the 2nd dose though (1 week before) I've never experienced this with my previous pregnancies. Is it normal to have full milk before giving birth? I can literally pump now and give my toddlers lol. So much milk. It is so painful and swollen... should I start pumping but would it be enough for my newborn later on if I start pumping now? I still have about 6 weeks for at least 37 weeks (safe zone)

2021-09-29Hi Mummies! I'm wondering if for those of you who had taken both dose of Covid Vaccine (Fully Vaccinated), did you guys experience high blood pressure after the 2nd dose during your pregnancy? as in does your BP reading goes higher then the normal reading which 120/80 mm Hg? I'm worried due to my BP suddenly go slightly higher which is 136/77 mm HG is the cause of the post covid vaccine which i took on last wed, 22/09/21. Before i took both my covid vaccine, my BP was all normal during each appointment. And so i'm questioning myself now, is it due to my food intake or covid vaccine is the cause of my BP goes high? My gynae was worried too and she asked to monitor my BP at home while waiting to meet her for our next appointment in 4 weeks time as i'm now at 33 weeks. 😣 She mentioned if my BP reading were to hit more then 140/90 mm HG in this 2 weeks of monitoring, i need to rush down to the hospital immediately before my next appointment with her as it may cause danger to for both me and my unborn baby.. 😢 #1stimemom #firstbaby #pregnancy #advicepls

2021-09-29Hi mummies, I am in week 35 and doctor is asking me to decide between natural birth and C-sec. She mentioned all is good except my baby's head is a little big, but still can try to go for natural birth. But she kind of emphasis that, many patients choose C-sec because they don't wish to change to emergency C-sec if there's anything during the process. And when we asked about her opinion on natural birth, she just mentioned can try, it's up up us. May I know other mummies who came through this before? How do you make a decision and decide? #firstbaby #pleasehelp #advicepls

2021-09-29Just did growth scan at wk 30. Doctor said head and tummy size are good but femur length is short. Had done Harmony test and FTS and results for both are low risk for Down Syndrome. Doctor mentioned short femur length is probably constitutional and can cause baby to have fractures easily in future and also risk of dwarfism. Freaking me out. Scheduled for another growth scan in a month time. Appreciate anyone who has similar experience on this for advice.#pleasehelp #advicepls #1stimemom

2021-09-29I have been put on hospitalisation leave as I was diagnosed with ICP. I have been preparing the necessary things for labour as I will be induced 1 weeek later and also juggling with my anxiety and stress about my ICP. However, my colleagues and bosses seem to think my leave is to relax in bed and do nothing, hence expected me to join for business meetings and answering their questions. I'm just super annoyed. 🤛🏻
2021-09-29Hi,I’m feeding Gerber rice and oats cereal for my baby.I’m just adding directly breast milk for mixing the cereal,is that mandatory to heat the breast milk?

2021-09-29Hello mummies. Just wondering when do you stop wearing socks for your LO? My LO has been wearing sock everyday since birth and she hardly removed it because she has sweaty feet. If I don’t wear socks for her, her feet will be wet and cold. My husband said her toes are like curling up and it might be due to sock wearing which I’m not sure. She’s turning 7mo now. I stopped wearing mittens for her when she’s 2mo because I know she needs to explore and move her fingers, so how about toes? Needed some advice as I’m FTM Thanks a lot.

2021-09-29Hi I’m a FTM but unplanned pregnancy so feeling very stressed. Whole pregnancy has been very tough for me emotionally as I’m very fearful of pain and have been dreading to give birth. Have actually scheduled my c sect date thinking that it might be better for me mentally but I just found out from my gynae that husband isnt allowed to enter operating theatre due to the new covid restrictions. I’m feeling very ugh because I’m really very scared and I don’t know what to do. Gynae did advice me to go for natural as she shared that my baby doesn’t look too big and I’m tall as well, and that c sect recovery will be quite painful and unbearable whenever I cough or laugh but I’m so scared of the labour, contractions and the process of waiting as well. Not sure what I should do.. am feeling very upset with my husband because of this too. Do share some experience and advice with me to help me out. Thank you

2021-09-29My 18mo is starting preschool next week in oct, in light of the current situation would u still send or delay if u had the choice? Honestly I feel that she is bored out of her mind at home, constantly wants to go out or just starts playing with things she's not supposed to. Don't get me wrong, she has toys, books, we entertain n engage with her as well but it seems to just not be sufficient anymore 😓 Was really looking forward to her starting school so that she can have more activities to do n make some friends n learn to talk as she still doesn't want to speak except when she sees my friends' kids talk then she'll try to copy etc but with the cases now, I feel so stuck in a dilemma 😕
2021-09-29Im 9 weeks going to 10. Experiencing the worse motion sickness. I cant seems to eat or even drink anything. Anything i consumed with be out again less than 5mins. Only biscuits and bread seem bearable. I cnt even touch rice or porridge. At the moment, im also experiencing excessive saliva production and heartburn 24/7. Went to ane recently because i was vomitted almost 10 time at night. I was given antibiotics for 7 days but the nausea and vomiting got worse after every dose. I am also on other medication such as hormone pills, calcium, folic acid, nausea meds, vitamins. Just had a small size apple for breakfast it all came out within mins. Nothing seems to help. Sometimes, I feel like giving up. 💔 #firstbaby #1stimemom

2021-09-30When did u lost your mucus plug prior to delivery?
2021-09-30I’m staying with my parents, brother and coming to 1yr old baby. Hubby is not with me as we are in a LDR. It has been a living hell staying with my brother. Prior to this, it was just the both of us as my parents were overseas due to Covid. When baby was born, I had to cope caring for baby and household chores on my own. No complains coz these are tasks that needs to be done. Problem arise when I did this chores (wash clothes, bottles, hang clothes, etc) past midnight. I don’t have a choice because i’m managing baby on my own with no help. I can only do chores when baby is asleep. Fast forward when baby is 6mths old, parents came down to help. Brother still creating problems. There is no compromise as I had to be the one giving in all the time. Worst still, parents did nothing to help with the situation. They hope that we don’t argue and pretend as though nothing happen. Recently, he cursed my 9mth old to die. Adults are fighting but yet my poor baby got cursed to death. Parents did nothing. Few days back, in other to aggrevate me, he intentionally blast his hp game at 12am. This didn’t bother me. When i brought this up to my parents, i’m being told to tolerate or move out. Wtf? I don’t know how long more i can cope with this situation. All my dad said was to ignore him. It was in spite of anger that wrong words were being used. 🤯🤯🤯 Am i thinking too much? I need help but yet i’m not sure what i need to do. I can’t possibly move out now on my own because of logistics. I need to work, find infant care (assuming i no longer get my parents to help), pack belongings, find new plc to stay, etc. This is just too much for me to manage. I have already exhaust almost all my leave. I feel like i have no where to go. 🥺
2021-09-30Hi! I have a 2month old whos bedtime routine starts at 9pm and she will fall asleep around 1030pm but will wake up after sleeping for 30mins. Then i will make her sleep again and she will wake up AGAIN after sleeping for 30mins :( she Will only sleep the long stretch of 5hours much later like around 1am onwards. Her naps in the afternoon ranges from 30mins to 2hrs which is pretty standard for newborns and im thankful that she can sleep for 5hours stretch at night. But i dont understand why isit taking so long for her to sleep that long stretch. #firsttimemama #First_Baby
2021-09-30I hate my husband for making me pregnant. It was an unplanned one. We already discussed that we didn’t want to have kids before we got married. But everyday he just kept asking me if he could ejaculate in me and we got the date wrong unfortunately and this made me pregnant. What should I do? I hate him so much and I can’t seem to forgive and forget about it. I just want to blame him and I hate it that he doesn’t need to go through any labour or pain.

2021-09-30As a first time mum, I was not sure on how to prepare solid food for my baby who just started on solids – I was glad that this included English instructions and was relatively easy to follow and prepare. I will recommend this to mummies who will like to expose their babies to variety of food that is also nutritious!

2021-09-30Hi I'm a FTM, getting to 18w now. I read some descriptions that say to expect some baby kicks now, which feel like "small bubbles inside your tummy". Which sounds really cute. I've been getting some instantaneous sharp stabbing pains nowadays different parts of my tummy though. I thought it may be usual expansion pains but, could that actually be kicks? Do kicks actually hurt? #firstbaby #1stimemom

2021-09-30Do i consider my baby to be sleeping if she closed her eyes while drinking milk? I can see she got drowsy while feeding then her eyes closed but she still continue to suck. Do i count that as her “sleep”? Or only after i put her down on her bed? #BreastfebBabies #breastfeeding

2021-09-30Hi expecting mummies, any of you practising hypnobirthing? What is the best way to start and when ?
2021-09-30My lo is 2 years old and today I found out I was pregnant. The thing is. We don’t even have a house yet. We’ve been living separately because my husband work place is in the west and my workplace and my child school is in the tamp. So he lives in his parents and I live with my parents. We are wanting to get our own place next year when I’m get CPF and our HLE would be higher. Currently imm working a job without cpf but will only get CPF in December( change in contract ) …. However due to covid and uncertainty, my boss did warn me that the company may fold. What should I do? I don’t know if I want to keep the baby… I don’t know how deal when my spouse is living apart. I don’t know if I will even have a job after December.
2021-09-30Dear mummies, I’m in week 37 and soon i will give birth. I am very annoyed with my husband because he was too engrossed with playing game on his mobile phone. There was once i asked him to touch my tummy because our baby move but yes he did touched but his attention was on his phone. At times i really want this “call of duty” on mobile phone to be deleted forever !! I am afraid tht once the baby is born, i have to look after 24/7 while my husband sit at the side playing game. And we are staying with his family so definitely he is at the winning spot i mean if i were to be angry at him. Soo mummies, is there any good advise on how to make him stop playing ??

2021-09-30I left the entertainment industry right at the beginning of the pandemic. I was a professional singer since i was 17 and worked my way up to be an entertainment manager for 3 established night spots in Singapore. I quit the night industry 6 yrs ago (which paid extremely well) to spend more time with my son who was 8 then ( I have another boy now who is 4). I than became a General Manager (4yrs ) for a company that grooms aspiring entertainers. The pandemic hit us hard but i was a little lucky because i was already laying the foundation of my home-base business. The time was not right but push goes to shove, i had to give it a shot. 2 yrs in, running my own small business and being able to spend time with my kids and having quality time with my family anytime i want is absolutely a dream and a blessing. Though my earnings for now is just a fraction of what i use to make, I am still able to help contribute with the household expenses. With the support and understanding from my husband and children, i know anything is possible. Anyone going through a career change or is planning to? #learningfromexperience #sharingexperiences #familyandcareer #mommachosefamily

2021-10-01How do you wean off your infant from milk at night? My 7 mth old going 8 mth (born premature, corrected age 6 mths +), still wakes up twice at night for milk. He eats solid twice a day and normally will drink milk before he goes to sleep at 7pm+. Then wakes up at 11pm-12am for milk and another one at around 3am before waking up in 3-4 hrs time and never go back to sleep until he baths. He's also on a pacifier. I'm a SAHM and very tired during the day as he is also very clingy and I would love to have an uninterrupted sleep at night. My husband also helps with the night feeds. His screams for milk wakes us up rudely. I cannot 🥴
2021-10-01Hi mummies. Do u go for Brazilian waxing before labour? Can recommend a cheap and good one? I have never done one before. Is 1 session enough?
2021-10-01Really wanna get smth off my chest that has been bothering me since covid reached our shores. My spouse’s family regularly gathers at their parents’ house for meals. At max it’s a freaking 16 pax in total including the siblings’ family. The thing is my fam can’t really avoid them cuz the in-laws take care of my child. And i’ve been reminding them about the consequences, be it contracting covid/ getting heavily fined but it’s just falling on deaf ears. So now with covid cases getting higher & higher, i feel more and more paranoid because some of them are in front line services and they have kids attending schools. Everyday i fear that one of them might bring the virus back (and also they seem to like going out to eat) and we won’t be able to escape the covid cuz my in-law is in close freq contact with my child. I feel they are compromising not just their own fam, but the safety of others yet i don’t know what else I can do. I can’t call up authorities myself to “harm” them & obviously I’ll also be implicated for smth I didn’t want to be a part of. Don’t think i can live guilt-free even if they didn’t found out it was me. Yet i kept fearing every single day what if we contract covid through them it’s driving me mad…
2021-10-01Hi mummies/daddies, can I ask if it’s safe for 1 month old baby to be near smoke from joss sticks? Or how to be safer from it besides limiting exposure (faster walk away after prayers)? In laws insist on having chinese prayers…. #advicepls

2021-10-01Hi, I’m deciding between GA or epidural for my elective c sect next week. I didn’t mind epidural at the start because I thought my husband can be there when they administer epidural but turns out KK hospital doesn’t allow husband to be there. I’m pretty fearful of pain even epidural especially when I have to face it alone. Anyone has experience doing GA for c sect? GA should be quite safe given that most people have GA during other kind of surgeries, the only thing that affects is only baby being drowsy. Please share some experience so it can help me to decide my choice. Thank you! (Covid restrictions dont make sense that husband can only be there with wife during natural labour!)

2021-10-01Do you get thirsty often during second trimester? Will drinking a lot cause water retention?#1stimemom #firstbaby
2021-10-01Currently at 29th week and experiencing more regular pain at upper abdomen (left top and above belly button). Pain persists from a few hours to half a day for these 2 days. No bleeding and cramps. As I am too worried, we went to see our gynae this evening and luckily everything is okay, baby is healthy and active. Probably uterus is expanding and stretch my muscle. Anyone experience this before? I had a miscarriage previously at about 6th week. Has been extra cautious for this pregnancy and finally I am in 3rd trimester. Baby please be healthy and let us be strong together with smooth delivery in Dec 😊

2021-10-01My baby, now 9 months , is exclusively breastfed and started solids at 6 months. She is now at 3 meals per day plus evening snack along with breastmilk. I now want to slowly stop breastfeeding and move her to infant formula but she is rejecting all the brands i have tried so far- nan, similac, hipp… I even tried mixing with her solid food so that she gets used to the taste but she becomes nauseous and shows vomiting symptoms. Please advise how to move her to formula .. tips and tricks are welcome🙏🏽🙏🏽

2021-10-01Hello Mummies I need help. Is there any home food remedies to help increase baby's weight? Had a recent check up and was told baby's est weight is only at 1.1kg at 29weeks and that her stomach is small, although everything else is fine. I also know that maybe it takes time for the weight to increase but just to be sure because my first 2 pregnancies i dont have this problem. Also my baby is at a breech transverse position, but placenta is high already. Im hoping she will turn soon too. Would love to hear others advice and feedbacks 💕
2021-10-01Before we had second child we discussed with my mum. She is supportive . She don’t stay with us but she will come daily to take my older daughter 2.5 years old to childcare nearby. In June 2021, I was around 12 weeks pregnant. I started looking for a maid. Mum says she prefer the maid who took care of my uncle(her brother before he passed away) . So we waited for her preferred maid as her contract was ending with previous employer. 2 months pass, no reply from that maid. So I started looking for a maid again. Then came my mum saying ohh. Our family is United, we can help to take care of the second child, just have a part time maid. She can come over to stay with us etc etc . We stay within 2 km from each other. 3 bus stop. We purposely got a resale flat near her. She said maids are not reliable, she dislike them, dislike unfamiliar faces etc . Then I tot ok, maybe don’t have a maid, I hire a nanny(locals, so culturally more similar to us and that will make my mum more comfortable) . And nannies are actually more expensive than a maid, plus I can have a part time maid. Then now, in oct. when I am due soon. (Thankfully I have a confinement nanny) I can sense my mum don’t want to move here to stay with us. I asked her a few times last few days, she avoided my topic. Until today I was gonna lose my temper, I ask her with all seriousness, is she going to move over. She start to say we should hire a maid, she don’t want to stay over. Freakkkks . I am so pissed off. I already told her lead time for a maid is 4-6 months. I started quarreling with her, then she avoided me and quickly left my home. I am being flew areoplane by my own mum again.... so I am going interview for a maid tmr morning. Everything done in a haste. And I am very sure after I have a maid, my mum will come my house to complain how untrustworthy maids are and how much I need her to watch over the maid. My relationship with my mum is never good since young. But I try to close one eye these days as we are still a family. She did this for my first born, fly areoplane and change mind last min causing me stress . I talked to her , my relatives talked to her, I tot she will get better this time round. But she is still doing the same thing. I am stressed , can’t sleep at 3am...

2021-10-01I didn't know I was 4weeks pregnant when I had my 1st covid19 jab.I got a slight fever 2 days after that. Luckily baby was okay. I'm thinking whether to have the 2nd dose at 14 weeks.

2021-10-02FTM here and was upset when hubby prioritise work over bb due date where it clashes with the month of his project contract start date at work. As a result he might not be available for me and during the period/month that bb is born. Worried to be alone in the hospital and also taking care of bb myself with CL. I think worse is he prioritise work over bb as I tried to ask him to delay the start of the project with his boss but he kept standing at his boss viewpoint. Maybe its preg hormones but just feel sad that it seems he feels work > bb. 😥 how does similar mum cope with this.

2021-10-02I am the main caregiver for my daughter, feed her, teach her, plays with her. So when she gets some scratches here and there it will always be my fault that I din do a good job. Or when her shoes are too tight my husband says then just don't wear the shoes, I am like she is walking now how can she dun wear shoes? He say since cases are high don't go out. My girl already rarely goes out and now don't even bring her to park? I don't know what I have done wrong, everything I do is wrong.

2021-10-02Hi hi, I’m a FTM, at Week 4 Day 6 now. I realise I’m starting to lose my appetite nowadays. I hardly feel hungry too. Is that normal in a pregnancy though? Somehow, it’s worrying me; of course I want my baby’s development to be well and healthy but I can’t seem to force myself to consume at some point. I work long retail hours and require a lot of walking. Nonetheless, I do ensure that I keep myself hydrated and have my bottle of mineral water with me all the time.

2021-10-02Anyone received PEM quote recently? Enquired on their website yest on their package and this morning a salesgirl called and bombarded me with lotsa ques and told me all their expectations n requirements on their CN and said to arrange a concall tmr (SUNDAY) with their consultant even before i received their quote or full info on their package. I find her quite pushy tbh. Anw their quoted me 4k++ for my EDD in may 2022, excluding gov levy, 2 compulsory angbaos, and what not which im not sure. Can anyone advise me 1. does their package includes hockhua herbs or is this an add on? Their package stated $400+ for hockhua herbs. If i didnt opt for that, what will the CN cooks for me? 2. Und i will hv to provide 3 meals daily to CN, no issue on this. Just want to b sure, will she cooks herself or do we need to tabao for her? 3. Touched wood, if in any case i paid the depo n ultimately didnt get to use their CN, will they refund my depo? Appreciate any comments and advise on this esp on any additional costs needed if i were to engage PEM. Thanks in advance.

2021-10-02My 3mo baby is used to being carried and rocked to sleep. However recently, despite having ample naps and keeping to her usual routine and observing her awake period, she cries very fiercely when carried like she is in pain and refuses to sleep. Yet she stops crying and can even smile when we put her down (she doesn't fall asleep though and will still start crying if we leave her alone). We tried carrying in various positions but nothing works. Her tummy doesn't seem to be gassy and we have already made sure she's fed and diaper changed. Any idea what can be causing the crying? I only heard of babies crying when put down, not when carried, we are v perplexed..

2021-10-02Hi hi, may I know any mommies out there are following up in KKH? I'm planning to convert into private but would like to seek recommendations on a good gynae in KKH.
2021-10-02Hello mummies, i went for my last growth scan and doc told me that my baby weight is 3.1 at 36 weeks. Next week, at week 37 i would need to tell my doc whether i want to opt for normal birth or csec. Doc also explained that if i want normal birth, i would be induced in week 38 as afraid that my baby will grow even more thats why they recommend to induce in week 38. But they also don’t recommend me to go for normal birth as they afraid that due to my big size baby, it could affect the baby shoulder and oxygen level during giving birth. But i do really wanna opt for normal birth. So mummies, i really do need your opinion on this. What do you think ?
