2022-04-11Hi mommies! I’ve been feeling so restless and my tailbone is hurting. I thought of trying my luck again to ask for HL on my next appt visit at KKH. Previously they only gave me 1 day & it’s not enough saying it’s part of pregnancy journey. I’m a HCW and it’s hard to get light duty. Is it really that hard to get HL at KKH under sub route? My colleague under KKH pte route can get it easily. & I also heard from my colleagues seeing NUH and they can easily get HL sub/pte. Any experience to share? I’m only 16 weeks btw.
2022-04-11Hi any advice for plus-size mom who is pregnant. #pleasehelp #advicepls
2022-04-11I have a 21 months old boy, who would tap his fingers when he hears loud 'scary' noises like when people are grass-cutting or something similar. He cries for abit, and when i hug him to tell him its okay, he would tap his fingers, softly, not the aggressive kind. Other occasions, when he is concentrating on his cartoon shows, he would do the same. Is there any cause for this, or should i be alarmed? Please advise. TIA. #advicepls #worryingmom #pleasehelp
2022-04-11I had already use a few brands of milk powder for my newborn baby but it keeps vomitting after feeding or some times never heard any burp at all. Need some advices for this!

2022-04-11Hi parents! Does any of you have gone for the Down syndrome test before during your first trimester? I went for my test just a few weeks ago. I am currently at my 14 weeks now. I was shocked that the bill accumulated to almost $600+. When I went for my firstborn, it wasn't this expensive. Most probably, this happened 6 years ago. And I also just gave birth not long ago to my second, early last year, and I don't remember doing a Down syndrome test this early. It was already at my second trimester when i was told to go for the test or so? I don't remember. But what i do remember is that I don't pay that much for it? Is this the normal rate for Down syndrome, now?

2022-04-11Hi I'm at about my week 6 of pregnancy and I do experience slight cramps now and then. I don't know if I can call them cramps or just some uncomfortable feeling in my tummy. Is that normal? They're not painful or anything.
2022-04-11Now at 17 weeks, reduced my dicletin to 1 tablet per day. Initially I took 3 per day and will still vomit v badly. After the medicen finish I decided not to take. Just 2 days and the vomiting came back just like first trimester. Feeling terrible. Any mummies experience this?
2022-04-11I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant, in my 3rd pregnancy. Lost 2 other pregnancies at 17 weeks so this time I’m seeing a high risk doctor at NUH who did a cerclage at 18 weeks and advised me to go on bed rest for the remaining weeks of pregnancy. I seem to have a short cervix with some funnelling due to a dynamic cervix. So I was advised not to walk at all and use a wheelchair when I travel to the clinic. (no other travelling outside of the house allowed) The problem is I notice that I feel so heavy whenever I stand up even for a second as if my baby is about to drop out. The doctors have no answer for that except that I do not stand up much. I’m not sure if this is because my muscles have weakened from the lack of movement/ exercise or just that I’m about to pop this baby out anytime. I take progesterone everyday and have a weekly prog injection as well. Does anyone have the same problem or advise for me? Is this a normal pain you get at 22 weeks?
2022-04-11Reaching out to mummies out there who are encountering the same… please reach out to me… I am so lost right now…

Do advise me. I am so worried.

2022-04-12Hi Mummies any tips on how to keep yourself hydrated? I drank mineral water and it triggers me to vomit.
2022-04-12Currently my lo is 5mths old, he have a habit of sucking his hands in order for him to sleep. If we take out his hand he will keep crying non stop, even at home we carry him or shake in cradle don’t works anymore. During daytime we put him in infant care the teacher told us he can’t sleep well during his nap time. Like avg sleep 15-30mins or maybe longest is 1hr. (But he can sleep 8-10hrs at night) so the teacher suggest us to give him pacifier. Because she told us in future sucking hands is harder to cut off than sucking pacifier. For the past 5mths we have been persist not to give pacifier and this time it seem like we have no other choice but to give pacifier. Anyone encounter similar problem? Or how do you deal with it? Thanks in advance. #1stimemom #firstbaby
2022-04-12Is it safe to have sex during the 1st trimester? Does an orgasm (intense one) increase the risk during 1st trimester?
2022-04-12Currently my lo is 5mths old, he has a habit of sucking his hands in order to make himself fall asleep. Sometime even put the whole hands inside him mouth causing him to vomit out his milk. If we take his hands out he will start crying non stop. Even at home we carry him, shake him in cradle or pat him to sleep don’t works anymore. And now during daytime we will put him in infant care, the teacher told is he can’t sleep well during each of his nap, avg 15-30mins or maybe longest is 1hr (but night time he can sleep 8-10hrs). So the teacher suggest to us is to give him pacifier. And she said in future if he want to quit sucking hands is more difficult than quit sucking pacifier. For the past 5mths we have persist not to give pacifier and it seem like this time round we have no choice but to give pacifier. Anyone encounter similar situation? Or how do u deal with it? Thanks in advance. #1stimemom #firstbaby #pleasehelp

2022-04-12Hi all, my baby boy is currently 3 months and two weeks old. When he was in his first two months or so, his feeding (bottle) was pretty consistent and he was able to drink up to 130ml in one go every 3 hours or so. We attributed it to a growth spurt. However, for the past two weeks, his feeding became more erratic. He now never drinks more than 50ml per sitting and would also cry, so we have to feed him more often. Is there a particular reason as to why he is acting this way? We have upsized his teat as well.

2022-04-12Any other fellow healthcare workers on this forum working on rotating shift basis ? I've been considering to request for a change of department during this period . I believe my reasons are strong enough to justify that ; 1) before I was expecting I was having hand issue ( tendonitis , synovitis at my wrist area , did an MRI last year it shows I have a tear - however I have not proceed for surgery ) 2) Now I am still in my first trimester - I do feel that my body clock is kind of upside down 🤷🏻‍♀️ not tolerable in doing night shifts not just this being in an inpatient setting; lotsa physical demands 😔😣 till my hand , back hurts . When at work it can be super frustrating demanding patients u name it Even the most trivial req from them really kind of piss me off . I wonder how other preggy healthcare workers cope 😔 #No_bully #justranting #justasking

2022-04-12Hi mummies My LO is 2m11days old. Since yesterday, she hasn’t been drinking to her normal capacity (100ml), she stops at 60-80ml. She’ll crave for milk more frequently also. She’s currently using Pigeon SoftTouch 1mth + teat and I also note that she is fussier when drinking. Could it be due to the teat that’s causing her to drink lesser? Should I try to transit to 3mth + teat already..? Let me know, thank you. :)

I shall chill. 15 Apr - more spotting. went o&g. see nothing which i expected. coz only 4w2d. no meds given as cant see sac yet. tested hcg. Hcg above 1500. 16 Apr - needa do a detailed scan as doc say above 1500 should be able to see sac. Now week 4 day 3. Got the report. Gestational sac (3mm) found with yolk sac (2mm). No fetal pole yet. Sac is in the right place. Gestational age 5weeks. Got duphaston prescribed. Next scan in early May. Still experiencing dark brown discharge. 17 Apr - more dark brown discharge when i went toilet.. a little watery kind but coffee ground colour. Seems fairly common when read the forum abt this.

2022-04-13Hi I failed my GD test, anyone retook theirs and passed?
2022-04-13Hi all, I was scheduled to do an IUI in march however I got pregnant naturally. I am currently pregnant 7 weeks. Yesterday I had spotting and immediately went to the O & G Centre as I had 2 recurrent miscarriages before this. The doc tried to scan me at the tummy but he couldnt not locate the baby. My heart sank as the 2nd miscarriage was like this as well. Anyways he did a transvaginal scan and finally after having a hard time, he found the baby hidding somewhere. There was no fetal pole. My HCG results came back very low for a 7 weeks pregnancy and will have to come back again this friday for another blood test. Right now, I have no hopes and am ready to acceot that this pregnancy is not meant for me, for the 3rd time... Questions is, is IUI actually a great option for me if lets say this pregnancy doesnt stick? I heard IUI doesnt prevent recurrent miscarriage. I've wasted so much time and I dont wish to waste anymore :( Will doctors allow me to go straight to IVF? #pleasehelp #advicepls #pregnancy

2022-04-13Hi all, I have been having brown spotting before I knew I was pregnant (before missed my period). So I thought it could be implantation bleeding when I tested positive on pregnancy kit. But 2 days later, my brown spotting filled panty liner and next day bleed bright red that’s enough to cover almost 70% of medium pad. I went to KKH O&G and was given duphaston and cause I’m only at week 5, can only see the gestational sac. Today will be my 2nd day on duphaston, there is no bleeding or spotting in the morning but night time have brown spotting that filled 60% of panty liner. Is this normal? How long will the spotting be gone. Had a blighted ovum on Jan.. this will be my rainbow baby, so lost and scared as prev I have no bleeding or spotting :(

2022-04-13Hi! Just tested positive this morning (according to Flo app I’m 5 weeks+) I want to get confirmation from a doctor, am thinking of shortlisting 3 choices (2 females, 1 male doctor) to deliver at Mount Alvernia Hospital. However, I’m not sure how I should approach this as this isn’t anything like shopping for IDs for house reno. Any moms who shortlisted doctors and saw all of them before deciding, any tips on how I should arrange these appointments? I think they will all do the same thing right? Take blood test and ultrasound scan…. Would that mean I have to do them 3 times within this month? Any advise welcomed, thank you! #firstpreganancy
2022-04-13Can I ask mommies around, do you experience heart beating so fast at 24 weeks? Been 3 days my heart beating so fast and breathless. I never experience my first and second pregnancy. This is the 3rd one and first time experiencing this symptoms...
2022-04-13I'm day 4 postpartum and have just started pumping for baby (she doesn't want to latch) but the more I pump the more engorged I become and the amount of milk I'm getting decreases with each pump. Tried massaging but doesn't seem to help. Any tips on what I can do other than latching as baby really doesn't latch. Will it go away on it's own? Should I still try to pump even when nothing is coming out anymore?

So now I have to sleep on my painful left arm rather than risk lying on my back 😩

2022-04-15Found out my husband was texting his colleague intimatedly 2.5 years ago, when we have our 1st born. After 1st confrontation, he admits that he likes her. I told myself, ok it might be an infactuation as he mentioned that i wasnt giving him enough attention. I told him to try to keep a distance . However, he did not . 1.5years ltr. Which is last year may, i realized that it wasnt just liking anymore, confronted him and he said thst he loves her. And at the same mth, i got pregnant with our 2nd child.. i was devasted , wanted to abort but i didnt. Did not go for divorce as well as i have no place to go if were to end the marriage... stayed on hoping that he will stop and change. With the first, i have been alrdy doing all thr chores myself, even for the child expenses with my own minimal salary.for the 2nd child,still thr same. Go for the checkup myself, chores im doing it myself..etc His lifestyle and whats he wants in life seemed to be different from me.. he used to be thrifty but now. He spend thousand of dollar on branded stuff despite knowinf that our house reno need the money and he wanted a nice reno*was quoted 40k for 3rm bto which we barely can affort. I just wanted a simple home, a shelter over my head . I dw to take up bank loan since we just have a new born. I felt like i cant live up to his standard or quality of life.. We went for marriage counselling but i dont dare to share my thoughts.. On march 2022, i given birth to my 2nd child. And during the confinement .i felt like its my wake up call to leave. During the confinement, i bought my own meals, bath the kids, send the older one to sch, brg my newborn to the clinic. He just stay home or goes to work. And with this, i dont know what am i suppose to do. im slowly distancing from him, felt less affected abt him . Sometimes, i just refused to talk to him.

2022-04-15Hi mommies, I’m having my 1st baby so I do not hav any prior experiences before. I’m now only 10 weeks in so it’s just my first trimester. Am I the only one whom’s overly worried with whether my baby is still alive because I had friends whom’s baby no longer have a heartbeat by the time they attend their next gynaecologist visit. I do get some cramps here and there sometimes but it’s not severe and I also still have the morning sickness symptoms. But my gynaecologist visit is only scheduled for once a month, it’s will be costly and quite ridiculous if I go to the gynaecologist for an ultrasound every week so any suggestions on what I should/can do?? 🥺 #advicepls

2022-04-15Dear Mummies, i’m only 8 weeks in pregnancy. But last night, I experienced the worst symptoms which was shortness of breath. I’ve been having trouble breathing a little (knowing it’s one of the symptoms) but last night, I couldn’t sleep & it feels like someone is sitting on my chest. Yes it was that bad. I had to hug myself and forcefully close my eyes to sleep. Please help. Is this normal? 😢
2022-04-15Just like to find out more opinion about sharing the positive results only after 1st trimester. Do most of your already tell your close families or friends or waiting for 1st trimester to be over?
2022-04-15Hi second time mums, just curious when did your first and second baby came out? My first one came out at 36w5d. I’m 36w now and some of my mucus plug came out. Really hope that my baby can stay inside longer than her brother. If I go down to a&e will they give me HL cos I’m under subsidised route. Is there anyway I can consult the gynae there but without making a trip down?
2022-04-15Hi all mummies. I have been using nipple tapes since pregnancy, as I refuse to buy any bra as I am afraid my size changes. However I notice more and more milk coming out whenever I remove my nipple tape after the day usage. However recently they start to shoot milk when I remove the tape. Is this normal ? No milk comes out when I don’t use the tape though.

2022-04-16Just wondering, do you take maternity milk and supplement or just either will do? Wonder whether I should get the milk or supplement. What's the main difference? If we take both there may be overdose of some vitamins and minerals isn't it?

2022-04-16I’m currently 36w1d and have been experiencing bloody show for 2 days alr. Contractions is on and off. Sld I still proceed to work as I’m still left with 8 days of work or just stay at home? Quite a hassle for me to walk actually. If I take cab to and fro work at least will cost me $160.
2022-04-16My baby is only 10 days old, but I’m covid positive. Any idea if I can still give my baby breastfeeding milk (pump, not latch)? I’m afraid he will get covid too if I do gave him BF milk.
2022-04-16Hi lovely mummies, May I ask does any mummies out there experience bleeding gums during pregnancy as this is my first pregnancy not sure if its the symptoms or normal.. I'm going in to 17 weeks soon. If you guys did experience what did you guys do ? Thanks ❤️
2022-04-16Any recommendation?
2022-04-16So previously my baby sleeps quite well, waking up every two to three hours to feed. After feeding he will almost immediately go back to sleep. However as he approaches his four month old mark, when we feed him at night his eyes will be wide open, sometimes smiling at us as if expecting us to play with him. Is this regression? I am the kind that latches him back to sleep as I don't wish to pace up and down and sing song because he is almost 8kg heavy. Also I have another toddler sleeping in the same room with space so there's this problem of space constraint too. Anybody experiencing the same thing and how long does this last? Also, I do all the usual, lights out, no talking no playing but still baby is very awake. Latching to sleep sounds like a very bad thing to do and also he wakes up almost every 30min at night even after he falls asleep.
2022-04-16Hi, is there any place that we can go just to have an ultrasound done, without seeing gynae or A&E? I'm waiting for my next appointment with my gynae and it feels so long it's a torture. I'm anxious and I just need some form of assurance that everything is ok. #advicepls #worryingmom #pregnancy #pleasehelp
2022-04-16Hi wonderful mummies! I’ve just found out that I’m covid + today & experiencing fever, dry throat & body aches. I can’t help but to feel helpless & immenselyguilty for not getting boosted earlier. 😞 I was going to seek advise with my Gynae on this for our upcoming appointment on Apr 19th but unfortunately, I got covid instead & had to reschedule instead 😞 Can I check if I’m able to take paracetamol prescribe by the clinic? I’m trying to let my body heal naturally but if my fever persists & goes beyond 38 degrees. I’ll have to take the paracetamol. Any mummies here who are in the same boat as me? Or have gone through the same experiences? Any advises to share? Greatly appreciate your input to make me feel better. 💕

2022-04-16My 9 week old girl (bottle feed ebm) gets cranky and wails murder when she wants to be burped/is gassy. This can happen while feeding or her waking from nap. Could happen a few times in a feed. We would have to stop feeding and either stand up while patting/burping her or quickly flip her to a sitting position to burp. Has anyone encountered this as well? Thank you very much.
2022-04-16I have hard time controlling myself for sugary foods this pregnancy. Previous pregnancy was okay. Didn't have much craving for sweets or coke. Had craving for bubble tea more. This pregnancy has no craving for bubble tea. But have craving for sweets, coke and ice cream more. I feel like I'm harming the baby inside me. But it's just so difficult to control. I don't drink coke often. Just a few mouthful once per month. It's so difficult to push myself away from coke. What's worse is, I don't like coke before being pregnant. 🤦🏻‍♀️

2022-04-16Hi mummies! I’m 39 weeks 5 days today, and this is my second baby. I have no signs of labour yet. Just felt cramping past few days but no regular contractions. I had a membrane sweep done at 39 weeks 1 day and lost my mucus plug the very next day. I was induced at 38 weeks 4 days for my firstborn due to medical reasons. This time with my second, doctor decided to let my labour happen naturally instead. I’m worried of the risks if my baby were to be born after my due date. Any mummies gave birth past your due date for your second baby?
