2022-11-21Hi mummies, I have an issue from young where I can’t swallow pills. Even Panadol, I’ll have to crush or dissolve. And now most prenatal vitamins are soft gel huge capsules. Especially DHA, fish oil and a few other. I’ve tried swallowing but always end up gagging. People tell me that you can’t break or squeeze through soft gel pills as it will not be effective enough. Does anyone face this issue as well? Could you advice me what you did or what alternative to these prenatal pills did you consume instead? #advicepls #firstbaby
2022-11-21Dear mummies and daddies who drives your LO to IFC, Did your LO cry murder while on the way to school? My LO's IFC is about 15-20min drive away (due to heavy morning traffic), and he cries from home till school. Did your LO outgrow the crying? My LO is turning 4 months old soon.
2022-11-21Hi mummies! I’m currently 15weeks into pregnancy now, may I know by which weeks can we feel the baby movements? 😊 And isit normal that the pregnancy symptoms on & off?
2022-11-21Any mummies here are subsidised patients in kkh and have little to no ultrasound at all except those important ones like detailed scan and all? I realised I have lesser appointments and scanning done as compared to last time in 2020(also subsidised) . I also noticed that the doctors attending to my consultationa in clinic C tends to rush things. 🤣 I had an appointment last month at clinic B and was shocked by the major difference on how the doctors treated you. As what I knew , clinic B is for private / C for sub. And the treatment there is so much better 🤣 doctor took time to check for heartbeat , showed me baby , and also asked questions which were relevant. Clinic C doctors mostly rushed things and I'm out of the room in less than 5 min. 😮‍💨 I'll probably go private the next time I decide to have another one 🤣🤣
2022-11-21Tested positive last week and breasts started to ache on and off. Now it's been 3 days where they no longer ache as severely but the positive line is still bright on the home test kit. Anyone have any insights? I'm so anxious.

2022-11-21Hi mommies..i just need to let it out here. I'm a first time mom, my baby is 1 month 1 week. Things have been really difficult for me. Some days i forced myself to stay strong, some days i lost it. Today is one of the days where i'm forcing myself to be strong but i'm losing it. I almost hang myself just now a few minutes ago because i can't take it anymore. I'm exhausted, and still bleeding which makes me more tired cause losing so much blood. I don't know how long more i can take..they said it'll get better but i don't see any changes. I'm so depressed
2022-11-21Any mummies willing to share your ultrasound scans here? Went for my first scan and gestational sac dated 5.5weeks but no yolk and fetal pole. Doctor seems concerned about missed miscarriage, awaiting scan in 2 weeks. Curious how a week 5 to 6 scan should look like..

2022-11-21Hello! I’m giving birth at KKH (private) and I was told that we would need to make a deposit before delivery.

2022-11-21Hello mummies. Any good pd in the area of hougang and sengkang? #advicepls #firstbaby #firsttimemom
2022-11-21Hello mummies! I am currently using milk storage bags to store my expressed breastmilk and I’m thinking of switching to milk storage bottles instead as the bags are one-time use (quite wasteful) and expensive (I pump 8 times a day so 1 month’s worth of bags cost me over $30). But I noticed that most milk storage bottles like Autumnz are only PP material, and not PPSU or glass, which means I cannot use my UV steriliser to sterilise the milk storage bottles. How should I go about sterilising PP milk storage bottles then? TIA!

2022-11-21Hi mummies, would like to seek your views. Is it common habit for confinement nannies not to wash their hands after changing baby's diapers and feed them milk immediately? I find it very unhygienic but they are professionals and feel bad asking her to at least sanitize her hands first. #first#firsttimemom

2022-11-22So angry with my husband. He says that he earns much more money than me. I earn about 50k a year and he earns around 250k. As such proportionately he should only do at best 20% of parenting duties and I should do the remainder. I work just as long hours as him. But my job doesn’t pay as well. What should I do! #assholehubby #ranting
2022-11-22Dear mums , This is my first pregnancy. 12 week pregnant. When is my second trimester is starting? 12 weeks means am I already in my second trimester? Because my First trimester was horrible and I had a very terrible experience with morning sickness from the first few weeks, even I couldn't eat properly.

Please share your experiences~ My concerns are… do you use the hotel kettle for baby food and drink, and also to sterilise the bottles ? (I heard it’s usually dirty?)

2022-11-22Hello, anyone just gave birth recently and have the latest pricing for TMC private delivery and KKH private delivery charges? I’m comparing because I’m thinking to change to KKH private but some people say the fees between them is thereabout similar. Also, does anyone knows if we can use Medisave to offset some delivery costs if it’s at Thomson? I know we can claim up to $900 for antenatal care but what about delivery charges at private hospital? Thanks for the help and advices!

2022-11-22My baby is 11mo and has always had a good appetite; she would eat anything and try everything. But recently for the past 1 week she has been refusing to eat so literally anything. Now she would only eat 1-2 spoonfuls of food or a few bites of bread, etc or food that she normally enjoys eating. She'd use her tongue to thrust the food out and we're worried she's not getting enough nutrients although she's still drinking milk as per normal. At the same time, she just had her first tooth eruption. Wondering if that happens to babies when they get their first tooth? Or is she just going through a phase? #pleasehelp #firsttimemom #advicepls #firstbaby #FTM #babynoteating

2022-11-23Hi' i've been exclusively breastfeeding for 5months now. baby rejects almost all types of bottle, only one i've not tried is pigeon. i think i want to stop breastfeeding soon cause its really tiring and affecting me because only I can takecare of her. i have another child 7 years old, and next month i need to settle a lot of things for his school. any advice on how to wean her off? any bottles recommended? any type of formula? because currently i have lactogen and i am not sure if its not as tasty.as breastmilk or what. but i tried pumping and giving her the milk also she dont want. she will look for breast. #pleasehelp i dont know how long i can do this. and isit really possible to switch to eg, sippy cup for her daily milk at 6months?
2022-11-23So my dear mil refuses to eat left over food. Every meal needs to be fresh cooked meal. She also doesn’t allow my husband or her grandchildren to eat leftover. It’s sibei fustrating for me. Cause what am I supposed to do with all these damn leftovers? She says leftover food is unhealthy and refrigerating /microwave will result in bacteria and this will result in long term illness. Hubby just listens to her when she’s home. Otherwise he himself loves leftovers. But he doesn’t think it’s worth fighting with his Ma about this.
2022-11-23Hi currently my new born 2months old baby have been coughing with no signs of fever no flu everytime he wakeup or sleep he will cough im really worried if it’s serious what should i do isit normal?

2022-11-23Hi moms-to-be, I just found a gynae today that gives me the assurance I need, such a huge rock is lifted of my chest! I’ve been feeling a little uncomfortable with my previous gynae because I’ve been asking questions about birthing methods, but the answer I always get from her is always “still too early, don’t need to worry about it now”. And the sessions always feel rushed.. I always walk out doubting myself, am I asking for too much? Just want to give you the confidence that there are better gynaes out there, go look for them! Don’t take mediocre services for something that’s so important to you. Be brave and make the decision to switch if you are not comfortable..
2022-11-23My son seems to have some sort of rash? It started from his face. And now it has spread to his body and some on his arms and thighs. I doubt its an allergy thing because he woke up with rashes on his face this afternoon. He was fine and just recovered from a fever yesterday. Any mummies have any clue?? Should I just bring him to the polyclinic, or straight to A&E?? I'm hoping its not serious and it will go away soon. #pleasehelp #advicepls
2022-11-23My 6 year old refuses to deviate from a plan or schedule once it’s been agreed. For example if I tell her this Saturday we will go to eat donuts and then go to the zoo. And if we instead go to eat ice cream and then go to the zoo. Or if we go to the zoo first and then eat donut (flipped order of event), she will go into a ballistic melt down. She gets upset and explains that it’s just not what we planned. I think this type of obsessive compulsive need to follow a schedule behaviour is worrying and unhealthy. Besides that she doesn’t show any other behavioural issues. What could be up?
2022-11-24Week 37 and feeling painful cramps, some nights can’t sleep through. Is labour nearing?
2022-11-24It is my first pregnancy. Before I learn anything about baby caring, I need to learn about hand washing and sterilising things. After my baby was newly born, daddy was tested Covid Positive, although it was proven as false positive afterward , the week of quarantine with baby has brought the germaphobic habits and thoughts of mine eg wiping clean and sterilising the house. Soon, the fear of Covid develops into the fear of germs, I am scared of carrying baby after cooking, as I am worry that the fluid from meat, fish and raw vegetable might contaminate my clothes and baby will take in the germs as she is still breastfeeding. After I clean the toilet, I feel not clean to handle baby if I don’t bathe and clean myself thoroughly. I am feeling guilty if I don’t wash my hands before handing baby & her surroundings(eg toys, bed, clothes). In reality, baby needs mommy. I am the only one taking care of baby. If I wake up early to cook and clean, baby might wake up anytime. They cannot wait till I finish cooking/cleaning toilet, then shower myself before putting on the new clothes. Even if I don’t shower and just change my clothes, baby will cry and fall down from bed. 😭😭😭 Sometimes I am even scared to touch any surfaces myself as I am worry that baby will be exposed to Covid or any germs that harm her. When I fly back home, I am worry when my family carry baby without washing their hands. The fear of this invisible things has caused me a lots of worry. Is there any similar experiences from mommy? How do you get rid of the habits and fears when the news about COVID is always lingering although it is already declared as endemic? I need to get rid of my own germaphobe before my baby is grown up enough to understand and develop germiphobic habits like me. If you have seek for professional advice, your referral of the doctor or psychologist is very appreciated. #advicepls #firstmom
2022-11-24Hi mummies, I am 39 weeks and 2 days pregnant and seems like she is too comfortable inside. My gyane told me that if there is still no signs of labour by week 40 day 1, I will be induced.

2022-11-24I experienced bleeding (saw blood dripping while peeing) and immediately went to see my Gynae. Found that there is bleeding in the uterus. Was given a jab and had to increase my Duphaston intake. ultrasound scan that my baby is fine, heartbeat is still there and sounds strong. It has been a day and I still experience bleeding (fresh red), quite an amount came out when I sneezed. Just wondering when will the bleeding stop, or what should I expect in the next couple of days. I checked with my gynae and he asked me to visit him again if the bleeding continues tomorrow (day 3). #advicepls #firstbaby

2022-11-24Hey dear father's it's immense pleasure to know that you are responsible now for someone's smile and future
2022-11-24Okay dumb question for a 2nd timer like me 🥲 I'm 33 weeks preggo and been having abdominal cramps plus lower back pain. I can't rmb if I had Braxton Hicks before but this kind of feels similar to what I felt when I was in labor. So far no mucus plug discharge just this uncomfortable feeling. Pain goes away when I change position but it's just making me cautious 😅 I've heard that those pregnant with baby number 2 normally have fast labour compared to the firstborn. When did you gave birth to number 2 ? (Before edd , on the exact edd or after?) Hope to hear from mummies here! #advicepls

2022-11-25Hi mummies, is it common to take the whooping cough job ? #advicepls #firsttimemom TIA!
2022-11-25SIL likes to dictate our lives and it’s getting too overwhelming. She comes to our place and tells us what we need to buy or own. She also forced us to use her old baby mattresses (last used was 5 yrs ago) when I told her I’m not comfortable with it. She got upset with me when I didn’t wanna accept all her kids’ old clothes as some had holes and some were moldy. I did keep those that looked wearable. And the baby chair looked unstable and had the moldy plastic smell. When I had baby blues (mainly because of her overbearing behaviour and my MIL’s constant visiting and not allowing me and baby to have proper rest), she told my husband she didn’t have it so she feels I shouldn’t have it either. I finally broke down one day and cried loudly, which my MIL accidentally overheard, and now she and my MIL feels offended by me. It’s like I don’t even have the right to be upset. While my husband have told them to back off from me, they’re still telling and dictating what my husband needs to do. Now they want our new maid to go clean my parent in law’s house also, which I feel is not right. And insist we go stay over at my parent in laws’ place regularly (we are living with my parents temporarily until our new place comes), which I find unnecessary and logistically too much. They have been trying to convince my husband to continue this living arrangement and rent out our new house instead. These are just a few examples of the things they do, and I honestly cannot take it anymore. No matter what my husband tell them, they just won’t back off from him. Even though they don’t directly approach me now, they still approach my husband to enforce their ideas on him, which then affects our new family as a whole, and I am really very very of their nonsense. My husband is also at his wits end because they would threaten him that he would break down the relationship at home and they would stop showing concern or giving us anything else if we keep rejecting their ideas and ‘help’. Even basic thing like naming of our son, my sis in law also threatened my husband and said if he insist on naming our own son, it will break apart the family. In the end we had to give in and let my FIL name him. Please help give me suggestions on how my husband and I can deal with my SIL. #firsttimemom #advicepls

But I am spotting quite abit (have to wear pad). Dr has prescribed progesterone 200mg and bed rest for 1 week plus plus. Just wanted to check if this is common at this stage of pregnancy?

2022-11-25So I'm 33 weeks preg and have a 29 month old toddler. Just past few days , I've been having mild contractions like feeling and it made me feel restless. Googled to find out more (in case it was just Braxton Hicks) but all I got were articles to preterm labor. Mum suddenly ws me after dinner and asked if I was feeling any pain and she said she had a feeling that I was gonna give birth earlier than my edd. I contacted my masseuse and told her my symptoms, turns out it she suspected could be threatened labor. 😭 She came to gave me a massage and said baby was in distressed inside. Turns out the reason for that to happen was because I was carrying my toddler till it strained me. There was a bulge on my spine and she showed me that it bruised. Cut the story short , massage went well and I felt so much relieved from all the pain I was having. But I kind of feel bad and sad that I cant carry my toddler as much now. He seems to have understood Im in pain and has been rather clingy demanding hugs and carry but I could only say no to carrying. Today he cried so bad that I had no choice but to carry him awhile. It breaks my heart to see my firstborn crying like that but at the same time I have to take care of myself too. How do I stop feeling this way? 😭😭 Hubby works from 8-5pm and I don't want to trouble him with trivial stuffs like this.
2022-11-25Hi mummies, my lo just turned 3 and still on milk bottles. What's the best product to substitute and allows her to lie down to drink? Thanks in advance!

2022-11-25Hello! :) Any recommendations for training cup for a 7 month old baby? I’m not sure if I should buy one with a straw or a spout.
2022-11-25I am feeling so down for the past few days. I haven't been spending much time with my husband due to his work commitment/schedule. I stay home almost everyday ever since I entered the third trimester. I am now 38+1 and i started to feel lonely. I do feel like having sex on days where my husband is at home. Normally i will spray some body spray or light perfume every time after shower or even to sleep, its a habit for me to always smell good even when i'm not going anywhere. This time round, i put the extra effort to spray some sexy perfume instead to attract my husband's attention and some nice and cute sleepwear but he seems to be not interested? I have done this 3 days in a row but he ended up sleeping right away the moment we go to bed. (Yes he did spend time with me during the day but only the sex part is lacking now). I even tried hinting at him about this, he reassured me once but nothing has changed. I started to feel insecure with myself. Maybe i don't look good anymore... #justranting #insecure
2022-11-25now that my belly is heavier i keep waking up in the middle of the night uncomfortable/adjusting/needing to pee. anddd o damn stress cos recently i notice my husband snores almost always(or maybe only notice cos i’m up? haha) AND i just cannot sleep with the background noise la. any tips? it’s been an hour now since i’m up listening to his snore and i need to sleep helppp

2022-11-26I need urgent advice from all mommies!! My baby girl is only 15 days old today but she is drinking a lot of milk which is starting to scare me!! From day 7 - day 14 she has been drinking 90ml formula milk each time, feeding is about once every 2 hours. Sometimes about 1 hour ++ she starts feeling hungry again, she rarely sleeps for 3 hours. From day 11 onwards she seems to still be hungry after 90ml so sometimes I do make extra milk and do till 100ml or 110ml max. Yesterday night onwards she seem to need 120ml otherwise she will just stay wide awake and keep turning her head searching for milk / put her hands in her mouth. She’s not even 4kg so 120ml seems to be too much for her (according to the advice on the milk tin 120ml is for 2 weeks - 3 months baby 4.5kg above and feeds 6 times a day but my baby girl drinks about 12 times a day). I did asked her PD which is Doctor Ang from TMC but the doctor advised to just keep feeding until she is full and had enough. She say the baby won’t continue drinking when she’s full. But that doesn’t sound very normal to me?? I’m also not sure if she’s drinking this much milk because I did not start her on the pacifier. If possible I do not wish to start her on pacifier at all. Pls give me golden tips on what to do!!! #advicepls #firsttimemom #firstbaby #First_Baby #firstTime_mom #firstmom

2022-11-26From what age should you be preparing your child for Singapore DSA? My child is in primary 1 and I want to make sure that I give him the best shot to get in through the DSA route to a very good secondary school in singapore #dsa #secondary #psle
2022-11-26Psle results were recently released in singapore. I was looking at the subject marks required for the different levels and it seems that those who score between 45-64 (a 20 mark range) score the same points at 6. I am not sure why we would keep such a big mark range as clearly someone who score 47 vs someone who score 64 would have put different efforts and have different level of knowledge of a subject, Also to get to the best schools in singapore, you pretty much have to score above 90 for everything. It is not often that a person who is a savant in math and science would be equally great at languages or vice versa. #psle #singapore
