2021-02-22For delivery at KKH, will nurses and doctors pressure you to push or are they experienced in guiding the push at the right time? I read that naturally the second stage of labour may take some time and that the body will slowly adjust for the opening to expand such that there is no special need to push too much. However, due to the pressure to push by the team, mummies may end up with a tear. How has your experience been at KKH? And usually for a non complicated case, how many people will be around and is the husband allowed to accompany?

2021-02-22Hi mamas! Recently I’ve been experiencing very ticklish sensation just right below my belly button. Is this baby movement?

2021-02-22Hi mummies. I’m 6 weeks, and since week 4, I’ve gained 1kg each week. I’m not sure if it’s a healthy weight gain but I know for your first trimester, weight gain avg between 2-4kg is fine. But I’m alrdy up 2kg in 2 weeks. I’m afraid by week 12, I’m alrdy up 12kg. Any advise on how to keep the weight gain slow? I don’t snack but now tend to have a bigger appetite. Used to skip breakfast pre-pregnancy and now having oats/cereals in the morning. I exercise everyday too at least 45mins. My boobies are fuller and heavier, serious tummy bloating too.
2021-02-22Mummies, i am currently pregnant with twins and this is my first pregnancy. Anyone of u have normal delivery for ur twins? What are ur experiences? For me, my gynea recommend c-sect.

Im afraid after my first baby is out, i will have no more energy to push for my 2nd.... 😂😂😂#1stimemom #pregnancy

2021-02-22Hi mummies! I went for my 1st gynae appointment and also did my 1st untrasound scan today. I found out i was pregnant on 7/2/21 when i missed my period (regular period) and did 4 urine tests and even went to the GP to confirm my pregnancy. Did some EDD calculations myself and if everything's according to plan, my baby would have been 7 weeks and 5 days old today. However when i did my scan today, the doctor only found a water bag sac with almost nothing in it. I'm so shocked and sadden by this news and almost burst out crying.. But doctor reassured that this is normal as my period cycle is between 35-41 days average so might take some time for my baby to be visible and grow. Worst case scenario, there will be a 15%-20% chance of miscarriage if by the next scan there is still nothing. I'm so scared and worried.. Is there anyone out there who faces the same/similar situation as me? Please advice. Thank you! #advicepls

2021-02-24Hi, what to do when your baby vomiting? Let her sit upright immediately or lay her on her side? Thank you!
2021-02-24Just wondering if anyone faced/is facing the same situation: You are pregnant, this will be the first grandchild for parents and in-laws, you're already halfway through the pregnancy, but neither set of parents has offered you anything (e.g. tonics, nutritious stuff) like all your friends' folks do, did not even ask how you and baby are doing, and are not offering any help during or after pregnancy. Am a little sad by the complete lack of concern and support from family, but thankfully husband is great and we are managing alright by ourselves. (No, we don't have a bad relationship with either set of parents.) Ours is a totally unique case amongst our peers, so just very curious to know if there's actually anyone else like us! If so, were your folks also as detached after baby is born? 😆
2021-02-24Hi everyone. Any recommend malay aunty much better cause my mum in laws can't speak english. House cleaner urgent needed for simple house chores. Mop&sweep house Wash&hang clothes do laundry Wipe balcony glass door. No need iron clothes or do cooking.

2021-02-24My child is going to be a year old in few days. On Feb 9 my son had fever off and on for that day only. Next few days he had flu (mostly recovered now).

2021-02-24My 1.5 month old baby cant fall into good naps during daytime. Even with dark quiet room, swaddled, she at most nap once a good 2 hour nap, other than that it is so hard to put her down for any other day nap as she always wake up after 2-3 minutes put down in cot. She can sleep good 11-12 hours night time (including dreamfeed 2-3 times at night). I worry she gets over tired and lack of sleep for development due to this n indeed she gets quite fussy these days. Any mom has experience can share how to get baby to nap better? SOS.
2021-02-24Due to CNY, we brought 1 month old baby out using Konny carrier (should have used stroller) . Another few days after she got colic n cry so much during evening n we had to carry to hush. And that's where she starts to get used to be carried and hugged Now everyday she cries to be carried so bad, i cant even do anything else. Any mom has experience how to train back? Is letting her cry till no more the only way? I worry she cry too much now still small, is it ok? SOS!

2021-02-25Hi! Any mommies can recommend a pro VBAC gynae from SGH?
2021-02-25How do I say no to MIL who is trying to find ways to come over to my house more than twice a week, staying over half the entire day, trying to help in taking care of my baby when clearly i dont need any help at all? For the past 2 years, my Mil has never come over to my house or care if we have homecooked food on wkdays after work. Ever since my delivery to a baby girl, mil has been overly concerned over my well being, hoping to bring food over as an excuse to come over so that she can take care of my baby. Noted of her good intention but her presence has caused some distress and inconvenience to me. Her consistent hugging of baby and peeping into my bedroom to check if my baby is awake resulted me unable to latch my baby on demand. Ended up we have to bottle feed baby as she wanted to take over the task. She even suggested both my hubby n i to exercise together instead of taking turn to workout on weekends. Reason; so that she can also come over to take care of baby when both of us is not around. I know it is a happy problem but I am tired of her always suggesting something to make us be away from our baby so that she has the chance to offer her help to take care of baby. And even suggested us to put baby in ifc for half day instead of full day. How do i tell her we dont need her help unless we really need? I feel like I am being force to accept her help and so tired always have to come out of an excuses to reject her.
2021-02-26Hi! I am currently 13 weeks (1st pregnancy) and been feeling some fluttering movement ( especially at night) inside my womb.

2021-02-26Scanned at 6 weeks 5 days. Still couldn't see heartbeat in the sac. And doctor captured bleeding right beside my pregnancy sac on ultrasound though I do not see bleeding from below. Gave me progesterone and to see him in 10 days. But its a painful 10 days to wait and hear that everything is fine. Anyone experience this before? I hope it's not a sign of an early miscarriage...

2021-02-26Hi mommies, Im recommending my good, experienced confinement lady to any mommies. She is Chinese Lady but well spoken in malay , chinese and english languages.

Very friendly and loving lady, often shares her care tips to care for the newborn and help with first time moms with breast feeding technique. For 1 month she was with me, I only have to focus on recovery and breastfeed, others she will help. I truly recommend her. UPDATE: She is looking for March and April as she said she is fully book on other months. For mommies who are interested, please leave ur comment below and I will message u , her number. Thank u

2021-02-26Hi mummies i have a daughter age 12 years old last month and this month my girl menses was not fully flow but ended till 17 days and more. Her menses blood only flow the 1st and 2nd day normal colour blood. But next few days will be brownish but a lil bit only. I have already bring her to see pd at poly. But they only give her a hormon pills to stop her period as her menses has not stop. They ask me to go kkh coz they don't hv a specialist at the poly. Im a little bit worried about her menses. And I'm afraid if i bring her to kkh they will do something not good at her vagina as she is still virgin 😔 just because to check what's happening. #advicepls

2021-02-26Hi experienced mummies! May I ask what is good for wearing at home during confinement month? I thought I read somewhere that we must not be exposed to wind, and therefore should always be in long sleeves and long pants. But was that really what you wore the whole month in our hot and humid weather? What would you recommend? I'm also afraid of wearing pants in case of c-sec. Like the waistband may touch the wound. 😔 Pls let me know so I can start getting ready my confinement homewear. My current homewear consist mainly of sleeveless tops, shorts, a few short-sleeved tops. No long sleeved top and bottoms. Thanks in advance! #1stimemom

2021-02-27Dear mummies, I have been hospitalized since week 30. When I was admitted, I was given magnesium sulphate and dexa to tone down the contractions. The contractions stopped but my cervix dilated to 5 cm and doctor advised not to discharge as I may deliver at home. I have been hospitalized since then for 7 weeks. I am 37 weeks today. OB advised that I can induce anytime now and deliver the baby if I want to be discharged. However, I am undecided as articles online from the US mentioned it's best to wait until 39 weeks. But it would also mean I need to stay in hospital for 2 more weeks. I want the best for my baby and torn apart on what to do. Can fellow mummies share your experience? Thank you.
