Could be the food I take. I eliminated all my sour preserved fruits n ginger. The pain go away. Does anyone has similar encounter like this?

2022-03-21How excited are your husbands about your pregnancy and the growing baby in your bellies? Mine doesn’t feel like he’s very excited about it. He doesn’t asks how is the baby doing today, is it kicking, how do you feel today etc.. Are your husbands like that too? Am I over thinking things? Just feel like I’m the only excited one here.

2022-03-21I am currently at 8 weeks, and my morning sickness has been quite bad. I feel lightheaded, and it seems like I am floating in the air at times. I work in healthcare and you know how the situation now. Will I be granted hospitalisation leave for those reasons I stated? I am only worried that I would faint at work.#pleasehelp #1stimemom #firstbaby
2022-03-21Hi mummies, I’m in a dilemma here. My son will be going to playgroup in a few months’ time and he’s still on full BM now. I’m a SAHM so this will be his first time going to school. I understand that the school only accepts packet milk or formula. I prefer to give my son UHT fresh but each packet is at least 200ml, and my son can only drink 100-120ml each time. Is there any UHT 100% fresh milk that comes in small size (less than 200ml)? Or is it possible that he drinks half a packet for breakfast and the other half before nap? Seems like UHT milk needs to be refrigerated once opened, and I don’t want to trouble the centre to heat up the milk just for him. Appreciate any advice. Thank you! #pleasehelp #advicepls #worryingmom #firstbaby
2022-03-21Hi all, I’m 2 weeks into my confinement and objectively, my confinement nanny has been great. She handles my baby well, cooks well and cleans up the house well too. But I’ve been having this feeling of the nanny having double standards that I get a bit frustrated/annoyed and I’m wondering if it’s just my insecurity as a new mum. For example, she tells us (husband and I) to try not to carry baby to sleep too often lest the baby gets used to it. But then when baby gets fussy she carries baby to sleep. Basically, this kind of similar instances (advice us not to do something but does it) Is this normal (e.g. other fellow mums with confinement nanny has felt this way) or is it me being overly sensitive? ☹️ #pleasehelp #advicepls #worryingmom

2022-03-22I am in my 6th month of pregnancy and I have been wfh since the start of pregnancy and work has been normal (and rather more productive). I have been in the office only a couple of times, and each encounter was a brush closer to covid (colleagues I met that day were announced to have covid the next day). No idea of what covid can do to my foetus but I am super worried about going back to the office now especially after the latest NUH incident mom getting covid and the unexplained profused bleeding. But my company is now really forcing ppl to come back (never said gonna fire but it might come to monetary punishment). Will a gynae be willing to give a letter not to go back to the office for this reason? Can the company behavior be reported to somewhere too? TIA! #1stimemom #advicepls #bantusharing #pregnancy #workingmom #WFH

2022-03-22My 16months baby been having monthly fever episode since 8 months old and each time, lasts for at least 5 days with high fever (highest at 40.2 / lowest at 37.7). Thing is, everytime before his fever - he would drool badly (like his entire front shirt would be soaked wet!) and chewing his hands for 2 to 3 days. Though doc always say its viral and teething does not caused high fever. Anyone has such experience to share? I'm worried with the frequent fever.. but his blood test result came out nothing unusual. 😓#pleasehelp #advicepls

2022-03-23Hi mummies! My baby is turning 3 months in 3 days. These last 2 wks I noticed his hunger has reduced hence feeding frequence also changed from every 2 hrs, suddenly 4 or more hours. I’m just worried because he is suppose to eat more when growing instead of decreasing right? By the way, he is on formula. He seems to be happy and not fussy. It’s just that it’s a sudden decline of milk intake. When he was 2 month old he is drinking 3-3.5 oz every 2 hrs. Now he will drink the same but after every 4-5 hrs. If I give him early he will get fussy. #worryingmom #formula #advicepls

2022-03-23Hi all, I'm a first time mum and 11 weeks pregnant. Enough to worry about as is, but now got to worry about Covid too. I got my 3rd vac shot earlier this year, wondering what mums-to-be are doing to protect yourself and your little one as you go about your daily lives and go to work etc? Can't help but worry sometimes. Have seen mummies double masking in public places..
2022-03-23Hi mummies, let me know if you heard of this theory and whether it is true. Usually when I breastfeed my baby on one side, I would place the Haakaa on the other side to catch the milk. Does the amount of milk caught in the Haakaa equates to the amount of milk baby drinks from drinking breast? This is how my confinement nanny determines the amount my baby drinks when it comes to feeding at night with expressed milk.. feeding breast + milk caught in Haakaa = total amount per feed. confusing…😅#1stimemom#firstbaby #BreastfebBabies

He has been drinking less as compared to when he was 1-2 months old but still clocks 500-600ml or more each day. He would however fuss/cry during feeds/refuse the bottle at times. He has always been quite bloated. He is otherwise a happy baby and gaining weight. Are these normal?
2022-03-23LO is on mix bottle feed 90ml. We've also been giving her pacifier in the day to sleep when needed. No issues with feeding the past month. She has been sleeping in the day w/o swaddle. Recently, she doesn't want to be fed in the day at the 3hr mark (after waking up from nap, crying). After the 4th hour, she still doesnt want to eat. When the bottle touches her mouth, she'll cry uncontrollably. Then I'll console her & rock her to sleep or play w/ her. Only when she's half awake or asleep in the day, then she'll accept the bottle and drink until almost finish. In the past, whenever she cries waking up & her mouth chomps left right, she'll easily take the bottle. Recently, it seems like she doesn't chomps left right even at the 3hr mark. So far, no issues with night feeds. She sleeps with a swaddle and fusses for feed twice at night (~3am & 6am). I'm tired of figuring out what to do :( She has been a good happy baby for the past month.. so why now? :(

2022-03-23Hi all, I am 5 weeks preg and this is my 4th. 2 days ago I experience mild bleeding like in pic, only appears when I wipe with tissue. Lasted only for a day. Never had this issue for the first 3 pregnancy. Had ultrasound done yesterday and baby was moving, but unable to hear heartbeat yet as doctor says it’s too early to use that feature for the machine. Doctor diagnose it as threatened miscarriage and issued progestogen pills. Anyone experience same issue and went on to give birth successfully?
2022-03-23Hello! I am currently in my week 34 pregnancy and would like to find out usually when can I request for hospitalisation leave from Gynae? My job is rather stressful and I have been feeling so tired recently (currently working from home). If my Gynae can’t give my Hospitalisation leave, when is the best time for me to apply for annual leave before delivery? I’m planning for a natural delivery so not sure when is it too early to take annual leave. Thanks #advicepls

2022-03-23Hi glowing mommies, I went to KKH at 6 weeks for first check-up. They did US but gestational sac was empty. They said it might be too early to see anything and asked us to come after 2 weeks. So went back again at 8 weeks and they did US again but this time they could see the fetal pole and heart beat also detected. Now the doctor is asking us to come back again in 2 weeks time to do another scan. When we received the next appointment SMS it is not even 2 weeks it is only 8 days and cannot change appointment also. How often are you being asked to come for the scan during your first trimester at KKH subsidized? 1 st visit at 6 weeks - ~$120 2 nd visit at 8 weeks - ~$120 Thanks in advance for sharing. :) Update: Thanks mommies for all the replies. I called KKH and booked my appointment 2 weeks later instead of 1 week.
2022-03-23Hi Mummies! Is this a Faint line? Im late for my period for at least 3days. #pleasehelp
2022-03-24Hi mummy, recently I have an argument with my hubby, coz mil got covid+ and still prepare dinner for the whole family, instead of isolate herself in the room until she is recovered. Hence, I refuse to eat the dinner due to worried I might get the virus from the food and lead to pregnancy complications or force micarriage to save my life. I have taken 2 doses of vaccine so far, pregnant W28. But I couldn't find any reports or sharing that pregnant mummy with 2 doses of vaccine get recovered from Covid-19 just like a normal person. This is bothering me so much. Whereby, my husband want me to believe, if I got covid-19 I will be fine just like a normal person without showing me any proven evidence or cases that will ease my mind. Any pregnant mummy got experience recovered from covid-19 just like a normal person? Sorry, I just need some advice. I don't know what to do. #1stimemom #firstbaby #worriedmama
2022-03-24Hi mummies, not sure if anyone had experienced this before.. I've had mild bleeding (fresh blood with few teeny weeny clots) at Week 5 and after a scan at KKH O&g, ultrasound showed presence of gestational sac and even yolk sac. A 2nd opinion was sought at private gynae the next day, however ultrasound showed an empty uterus.. Has anyone encountered this before? What is likely to have happened? I'm really saddened and anxious. Private gynae had advised to go back to Kkh for a confirmation scan. Really frightened to see or hear the hard truth. #1stimemom

2022-03-24Just did a first trimester down syndrome check in KKH, found that there is an absence of nose bridge and low level of PAPP-A. High risk of down syndrome 1 in 2 chance. Need to do an invasive check during week 16 (with 100% accuracy). Just checking anyone with similar results but ended up to be having a normal baby?

2022-03-24Hi mummies! This is my second pregnancy but it’s different from the first. My morning sickness is horrible and lately I have been having gastric. It makes eating or drinking worst since I can’t stomach it for more than an hour. My lips are getting dry, which probably indicates I’m getting dehydrated. Can I get your advise on what is the best food or drink for me to take so I won’t throw up.

2022-03-24Hello everyone, I’m currently at my 2nd trim… with PM Lee’s announcement on relaxation of covid measures this morning… my friends are eager to meet up with me for a gathering with their kids. Although I miss the feeling of meeting friends and having play dates for my child, I am afraid to risk it because of my unborn baby… Should I go ahead with the gathering or reject? Happy to hear opinions from this community :)
2022-03-24I am week 12 pregnant and first time pregnant. The thing is my partner and i are not married yet so after finding out I am pregnant we decide to get married. Our families and friends also didn't know I am pregnant as we decide to wait for the NIPT test to be out before announcing. But I feel that although marriage is in plan but throughout these few weeks, I didn't get any support from my partner. We decided to keep the baby as after our discussion we decide to start a family and move on to the next phase of life. We are in our forties. But as weeks passed since knowing I am pregnant I feel I am not getting any support from my partner, we lived separately still. He is just not proactive and alot of things like marriage stuff, I am the one finding and I just feel jaded and no motivation anymore to do anything about it. I feel abit regretful in keeping the baby as I have no family, friends to discuss my situation and my partner is just non-chalant about alot things. His talks are louder than his actions I feel. He is still living his single life. I have no confident in him being a husband and father now. I express my concerns to him before but after awhile back to square one. I feel so loss now as I don't know what to do now with a baby in me. Anyone has similar situation as me?
2022-03-24Didn’t like the depth of this as it was quite troublesome to sterilize breastmilk pump parts with this. Doesn’t have a dryer function too and I could only dry my bottles and pump parts by taking them out of the sterilizer.

2022-03-24Hi mummies,went for my 37wks scan jn noon.Was told that my bby was in a breech position and gynae recommended to go for ECV procedure. Is it safe? Should I go for it or just wait for the bby to come dwn naturally?#pleasehelp
2022-03-24With the increase to 10 pax, any 1st trim mummies being pressured to meet up with friends? Are you fearful of meeting large groups of people? My friends are not aware that I am pregnant and I don’t want to risk accidentally sharing food with 9 other people at one social gathering. But my friends are pressing me. It’s so annoying. I’ll still reject to be safe for my baby. Just wondering how you girls managed such situations?
2022-03-24Hi Mommies, i have an issue and hope you can guide me through this. My little one is 1 year old and he refuses to chew food he would only chew tiny puffs but other food he refuses to touch or chew on he will jus throw everything down.. he use to love eating bread and chew on it but now refuses. How do start making him self feed ? Touch fruits and eat by himself.

2022-03-24Hi I'm a ftm at 20y & a single mum . Can any mum give me answers !! 🥲 My baby is 4month + now she's refusing to sleep past midnight she chose to stay awake till 4am even after her 2am feeding time .. for the past few days 😐 Is it because she's hungry that's why refuse to sleep ?? but she's not being fussy or cranky when she's awake (only when she don't have enough time to sleep) She have also been refusing to drink up 180 ml of formula milk . I was told if baby didn't finish her milk in 1hr then i must throw away the balance of milk . Should I change formula milk instead or that's just normal ? #worryingmom S26 Gold is not cheap afraid it will go to waste plus she's still at stage1🥲🥲 Anyways I'm not breastfeeding ( cause milk didn't produce that much ) and also baby has jaundice when she was born and I have thalassemia so I didn't give baby any since day 1 . #pleasehelp #advicepls #worryingmom

2022-03-25Hello Mommies, I really needs to rant out and I don’t know who I can speak to. I really dislike my mother-in-law and my husband knows the reason was because his mother is way too self-centred and selfish. I never had any argument with my in-law before but I really feel sad on how they treated me. Just a bit of history.. Not only she commented about the house I wanted to get before married 3 years ago.. And when I was 4 months pregnant when we had our Chinese custom wedding last year after Chinese New Year. Things doesn’t turned to be like fairy tale ever since my mother-in-law knows I’m having a baby girl, she doesn’t show any concern whenever we visited her despite knowing baby and I was having complications. She can continue to have her lunch, treating as if heard nothing when I shared baby and I wasn’t doing well, she was sitting at the same table. The most she did was calling my husband to ask how are we newly wed doing.. Since baby born, she didn’t wants to visit us even though she called maybe alternate days. We invited her again and she did came for a while during baby’s full month and she gave me that deep impression of her didn’t want to come at all by putting on her mask throughout to avoid conversation with my parents who also here celebrating. She an able-bodied person, retiree, well educated so traveling by public transport or us getting her a cab down not a issue to her and she used to go for holidays few times a year before Covid. This year CNY supposed to be our first year celebrating together with our baby girl however she didn’t invite us for any reunion which this time she really pissed my family on how she had been treated me. My family felt that she doesn’t seems to welcome me and baby girl. What i can do to calm my family is by telling them maybe my mother-in-law doesn’t know how to cook so she didn’t invite. To be honest, I felt she is good in acting. She always acted my baby girl is her darling when in front of her family, but the truth is she behaved differently when they not around, bossy attitude to me. Definitely my husband believes that his mom is the best caring mommy and granny. The recent episode she and my husband really drives me nuts. I made the initial by asking husband to bring her and her sister out for lunch to catch up, lunch venue was so near to her place yet my husband just so sayang his mom and went to pick them up, left me and baby at the restaurant. (They had no issue to go overseas so a less than 10 mins bus ride is a issue to them now?!) After lunch, they wants to go elsewhere to get a sales item despite knowing we are going to my friend’s place do home visit my husband told me let’s send them. Fine, no use even I reminded him in front of them the timing we need to reach. Out of courtesy, my husband told his mum anything call him. She called 15 minutes after we dropped them and requested my husband to go back fetch them home from where we dropped them! Guess what? We was standing at my friend’s door not even stepped in! I trying to be nice, so I told my husband that’s fine you just go fetch them because I was thinking the maximum he would take will be 30 minutes to come back. But this selfish mother-in-law asked my husband to send them go elsewhere buy groceries and ended up nearly two hours my husband finally came back to me and baby. Why I am angry? We were supposed to catch up with my friend and family (my husband know them), yet I was left alone with my baby while my husband go to do chauffeur cum deliveryman service. What era is this that you think it is so hard to take public transport in Singapore? (I thought she told us they will fetch a taxi home?) I felt that I do not have the most basis respect from my husband and especially his mom! Maybe she just forgotten that his son has already married and got kid now? Why is she bossy him here and there and leaving me and my baby aside? I know my husband is filial piety, but I don’t understand why my mother-in-law can’t respect that we have our own lives now, even if she didn’t know we are going for home visit, even if we are going shopping you shouldn’t even call my husband back to pick you! Might as well ask us to wait for you to done with all your shopping then go do our own thing! Like how she treated me when I was pregnant feeling unwell! As usual, we quarrelled again BECAUSE OF HIS MOM. Again, he sided his mom thinking there’s no wrong for him to go fetch her, left me and baby behind. Many of you will advise me to have a conversation with him but I have tried talked to him many times, and reminded him your mom is always the cause of our arguments since the day I married to you! This time he told me that he don’t care if you think I am a Mommy Boy, as we have different all perception and the way I treated my family is different from you. (He will always drag my family out and making remarks saying the way I treat my family not so good whenever if we are talking about his mom - I was taught to be individual since young, hence my family won’t be like his mom behaving like a typical evil lazy never grownup mom always expecting the kids to serve her) I had given him the last option to separate if he still continues treating his mom as the priority even more important than baby and me. Because this wasn’t the first time all these happened. I’m tired of always being the one giving in, and making myself feeling so depressed, like not living like the true self as if a clown. Thank you Mommies for willing to read my long post..

2022-03-25hi mummies is 3rd trimester depression a thing? i feel like towards the third trimester i get really affected by everything. ive been arguing alot w my family and crying alot to my husband. i can cry just random times of the day sometimes even while taking care of my toddler i can just burst out crying over something that idk seems petty to others but sensitive to me. and i get angry too easily as well. my emotions are all over the place. i dont find joy in watching movies or netflix my attention span is like not there. sometimes im scrolling through my phone but my mind is either blank or elsewhere. i cant even sleep well at night. i ended up deactivating my social media and staying away from everyone because im just that emotionally unstable. i tried to do things that makes me happy but i dont find joy in it. first pregnancy was like this too but it wasnt as hard dealing w it as it is this time round. is this normal? i used to be able to nap it off but now i have an active 18 months old to care for daily.
2022-03-25Does anyone else experience recurring vaginal infection? I had it once during my 1st trimester and again on my 21weeks of pregnancy. Despite completing the 10 days (insert of pill, prescribed by KKH), it still doesnt go away .. i don't feel any burning, itching or foul odour but the fact it is green and was confirmed an infection twice is worrying me. Anyone precribed a different medicine apart from the pill after recurring VI?#advicepls

2022-03-25Hi mummies, is it safe to use febreze for newborn baby bedsheet, blanket and pillow etc? Does it harm baby?
2022-03-25UPDATE: I'm grateful to the fellow mom who encouraged me not to give up and to go for an immediate check with my gynae - baby is found safe, and we can hear his/her heartbeat now! (Previously was just the gestational sac) So after confirming that the pregnancy has progressed, my gynae prescribed me more medication to support the pregnancy: Duphaston (for morning & afternoon), and Utrogestan (for evening). Now my heart is at ease... Urging all fellow mums with a similar situation as mine to do the same! It can save a tiny life!❤ ‐----------------------------------------------------------------- Hi mummies in the community, I had brown spotting/discharge a week ago and was on Duphaston since. But today, light bleeding (without clots) started, and it was on-off. Sometimes I only see it when I wipe, sometimes it stained my pad. I read about other mums with similar experiences at about the same gestation age, and am torn between: 1. Continuing the fight with Duphaston, or 2. Stop Duphaston and let my body clear the tissue naturally with menses Honestly, although it's only been a week, it's been a grueling and stressful fight. I'm feeling mentally exhausted as I had miscarried just last month as well at 5 weeks. Should I give up the fight and just let my body clear naturally? If I were to press on, and in the end need D&C surgery (like if Duphaston is artificially preventing my menses from starting), will it be worse? #worryingmom #pleasehelp #advicepls #pregnancy
2022-03-25Why do my 2month plus baby cry whenever feed her and she rejected the milk even already in the mouth but yet still crying? Sometime drink also will left a lot..what should I do?
2022-03-25I have a filipino helper who had been with us for a year. When we engaged her, she had 10 years of working experience in Singapore, mainly working for expats caring for their children (2years and above). She had never cared for infant. She is able to converse very well in english. During our interviews with her we already told her her main job scope is to help look after our newborn (was pregnant with 2nd child at that time). She said she is ok to try caring for infant though she had not done that before. Generally she is still ok in her work, though nt very detailed. She is ok with the children. But the problem I have with her is she gives us attitude very easily, and alot of times makes me feel that I have to see her face instead of her seeing mine. A little bit of correction in a kind way result in her giving black face. End up it is really difficult to correct her or tell her my preference without dealing with her black face for the whole day. Giving her adhoc task such as looking after my 2 children while I go out (so far I only only did it twice and I stop because I am really scared of her black face now) also result in black face. Her daily chores is just general household chores and taking care of my youngest, nw 8mths old, while we are at work during weekdays. Her work starts at 6.30am, end off between 7.30-8pm. She breaks between 9-10am, 12-3pm, 5-5.30pm, although sometimes this may be compromised if my baby do not want to sleep. We gave her a room of her own, she do not need to do night duty, gave her wifi, no phone curfew, no cctv, include her in our decision making as we want to respect her opinions, treat her like our own family members. She gets off day every Sunday, and she basically goes out from 7am-9pm and allowed her to do so. We try to treat her with as much welfare and respect as possible, but due to the frequent black face, I really feel she does not appreciate our kindness at all. This upsets me alot and do not think we deserve that every little black face. I get that it is very tiring to tc of baby, but we alrdy try to lesson or balance her workload as much as possible in my opinion. Also, after all these are also her duties, duties of most helpers with young families, and the very reason we engaged her. We also took over all child caring duties the moment we reach home at 7pm. She does not need to tc of my eldest (4yo) at all as well. We go out every sat afternoon without her (she herself does not want to follow us) from 3-8pm and she basically did nothing at home and when we are back, she just need to wash 2 milk bottles and she can go back to her room and call it a day. So in actual fact, she only work half from 6.30am-12pm on saturday (12-3pm is her lunch time break), even though her pay includes Saturday as her work day. I did not even say anything. By treating her as well as I could, I do not expect her to go the extra mile, but at least dont give me black face as and when she likes even when I talk to her nicely? I thought engaging a helper would allow me to relieve alot of chores and to have me time even at home, but she makes me feel like I am not allowed to do so. I really dont get if general household chores and taking care of baby, cooking dinner is really very heavy load? If you can elightened me, pls do.
2022-03-25Hi When should I start buying baby's clothes? 😌
2022-03-25Hey guys, need your advise. My 3mth baby recently increased from 60ml to 100-120ml. However some of the milk I have expressed previously is up to 85ml. Can I warm up 2 bags to make up to 120ml and put the remaining milk back into the fridge? For instance I have 1 bag of 60ml and the other is 85ml. I need to mix them and instead of dumping the remaining 25ml, I chill it back. Those milk bags are frozen by the way hence I will need to thaw them first.

2022-03-26Hi mummies, let me know your thoughts… My nanny always claims that baby is hungry again after pooping and will need to feed about 60ml (a full feed will be 90ml), because baby exhibits hunger cue (but we don’t see the cue, baby is just awake that’s all). Despite feeding baby an hour ago, once poop means need to feed baby again. True? I’m doubtful because my hubs and I managed to put baby to sleep instead of feeding again. Sometimes I just feel that baby is tired and wants to sleep..not because she’s hungry. My baby is 7 weeks and is on breast milk.

2022-03-26My hubby and I are members of a local swimming club and we would love to bring our 4mo girl to experience splashing in the water. However, I read that exposure to chlorine is not good for babies' delicate skin? Any mummies here brought their LO to swim in chlorinated pools and have no issues? Otherwise, are there any non-chlorinated pools in Singapore that we can go to WITHOUT the need to take up classes?

2022-03-26Hi everyone! I will be delivering in KKH soon and I was wondering if its true that if you take epidural, you will experience backache, high blood pressure and other health complications when you are older or in your 40s/50s? I am so scared of feeling pain and i am considering to opt for epidural for my delivery but my mother is against it as she said that i will suffer backpain etc when i reach my 40s. Any mummies in their 40s-50s who took epidural have any take about this?

2022-03-26Hi mommies! How long before you lose all the post partum tummy after c sect? Doctor says I can exercise already but my wound is still pain when I run. #advicepls #1stimemom #postpartumbelly #postpartum
2022-03-26I wish someone could tell the husband To not be rough with her when consoling To love & be kind with her through her tantrums To be patient with her I'm tired of having to remind him to be gentler, afterwards he'll get upset & says that he's trying to help me with the baby too. Then passes LO to me & walk off. Having a kid supposed to bring joy to the family but all im feeling is just sadness. When i look at LO, I'll feel the joy & happiness. But when LO cries, i feel the anxiety... scared if hubs gets upset with her crying. Handling a cranky baby is tiring enough. Why do i need to tiptoe around the hubs too, sigh... LO is only 2 months, we still have a long way to go. I cant imagine having to go through teething or other developmental tantrums/leaps with him
2022-03-26I have been having spotting for 2 weeks. Am 3 months PP. Not sure if this is my period coming back... And if so, how long will this last before it becomes real menstrual?
