2023-01-02My gynae don't allow me to consume food or water from midnight to the morning of the test but due to my constant vomitting I usually need to at least drink plain water in the morning.

2023-01-02Are we able to know their gender at 16 weeks thru the ultrasound scan? #firstbaby #pleasehelp #firsttimemom
2023-01-02My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. Didn’t made it past 6 weeks, couldn’t see the sac during appointment, multiple bleeding eps. Finally got pregnant again after a year, the dr recommended me to take progesterone. It’s been 4 days now, I’m feeling extra tired lately and idky but I keep on having this anxiety, waking up thinking I’m no longer pregnant. I’ve heard the heartbeat, see the sac in the ultrasound. progesterone wouldn’t cause any miscarriage will it?

My family is not supportive and are telling me to abort. I can't raise this child on my own eventho I love my baby dearly. But reality check, keep or abort? I am so stuck and miserable rn...

2023-01-03Hi all! I'm 38w4d now and have another checkup with kkh this coming thurs. They told me last week that it would be a cervix check for dilation. 👀 Although I've been through those checks before, it was during the time I was in labour & contractions. 😅 And that was already super uncomfortable. Is it going to be the same feeling? I've no signs of labour yet and am feeling anxious for the upcoming appointment. 😅 Any tips for me or how I should prepare myself? I hope I get a gentle doctor and not someone rough 😅 (subsidised patient)
2023-01-03For moms who had a gender reveal party, did you know your baby’s sex beforehand or were you also surprised during the reveal?

2023-01-03Hi, I am now 9 weeks into pregnancy and I have been experiencing really really bad nausea and vomiting. I could be just walking normally with an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, and will start vomiting every now and then. All around waist area will be aching, and I am unsure if sometimes it’s due to the clothes I’m wearing or it’s just normally bloated as I have read on some articles on the internet. Due to this, it’s hard for me to take in any food or drinks at all without actually puking it out again. Any suggestions or advice to improve on this? This is my first pregnancy..

2023-01-04Been feeling so much pressure down there lately but still no big signs of labour yet 🥲🥲 walking is a pain in the vagina 🤣 turning and tossing around while sleeping is another problem. Had BH past few days but that was it. Nothing else. Having an appointment tmr to check for dilation and here I am just wanting this pregnancy to be over. 🤣 Anyone going through the same? What are your plans to induce labour naturally? I'm having a natural birth again without any pain reliever and would love to hear some advises on a medical free natural labour.

2023-01-04I tried to feed my baby Rid wind baby drop. But whenever I drop into my son's mouth, he cried and he dont like the taste. I'm not sure if I feed it wrongly. How shld I go about it. #colic #4week
2023-01-04So like every other day, I bring my 2½ year old toddler to the playground after school. My toddler normally plays alone and I accompany him with whatever he wants to do (playing slide , climbing etc) until some other kids come and then will my toddler make friends by playing tgt. So apparently today , there were 3 diff kids , 3 diff helpers who were at the playground. My toddler tried to play with the big kids but they ignored him so my toddler just continued playing on his own. Now the helpers were busy chit-chatting when one of the boy pushed my toddler away causing him to fall & cry badly. Me being a typical parent, I scolded the boy and he ran off showing a smirk. His helper just watched and didn't do anything . Hubby came back from work and met us at the pg , spent some time with toddler as I'm heavily preg and can't play catching. That was when it happened again in front of hubby. The same boy pushed my son hard and laughed. I mean I get it you don't wanna play with my son and my son has no issues playing on his own. So again I shouted at the boy to tell him to stop and confronted his helper. Helper just continued talking to the other 2 helpers with no care. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ At this point my blood is already boiling. Just nice , son wanted to go home and we walked off. I overheard helper hurling some words like how I acted just because a kid pushed my kid but I chose to walk off. Now , my son has bruises on his knees. 🤦🏻‍♀️ And I can't help but feel annoyed and angry that the helper didn't step in to prevent the kid from repeating it again. Don't tell me "oh they're just kids that's how they play etc" . It's about discipline. If you're not gonna step in to discipline your kid , then don't lash out at me if I step in as I hate kids who are unruly.
2023-01-04Im in my first tri, I have been feeling nausea the whole day, whenever i see food i feel like vomitting even if im hungry. Anyone got ways to feel better? I feel so horrible the whole day...
2023-01-04Hello! Any mommies bought earplugs or earmuffs for babies below 1 years old to be use in their flight? Do u consult pedia or EENT before flying? Thank you! #advicepls #firstbaby #firsttimemom #firstflightwith baby

2023-01-04My husband doesn’t want to have sex with me because he’s afraid it’ll affect/hurt baby. i told him that it wouldn’t even reach baby but still….either my drive is high OR i’m just afraid sex won’t be the same after birth…?#advicepls #firstmom #firstbaby
2023-01-04Hi, i’ve been having spotting for 6 days already. My menses supposed to come on the 14 jan. Curious why im having spotting. On and off spotting. Only can be seen when wipe with tissue.
2023-01-04Hello mummies , I bought sambuccol for babies after seeing a very big improvement with my first born “immunity” when we started giving it to him when he was about 20 months old. So I bought the “for baby” version for my 2nd born. Seen mix reviews of it online, so I wanted to check with mummies here if there’s anyone who has given their LO sambuccol for babies aged 7 months and under, and if possible if you could share some reviews on it. Thank you in advanced!
2023-01-05I have been having quite bad gastric pain and nausea/ vomiting since week 7, was given dicletin and omeprazole since week 9 but it was only for 2 weeks. Now im week 11 nearing 12 and the nausea and gastric pain still bothers me, even have trouble sleeping.

2023-01-05hi! i need some recommendations if any, im considering to find a confinement nanny. i only need her to take care baby for 28 days, wash baby's and my clothes. no need to do cooking/doing house chores. please let me know the pricing too, thank you!
2023-01-05Hi! Previously my son was using Offspring.. All good, no issues just that its quite pricey.. So i changed to Merries (recommended by many & pocket friendly too). But i dont think its compatible as it leaks 1.5hr after i changed him. Tried Huggies Nature Made samples, he had diaper rash. Anyone faced the same issue? Should i give it a try again?.. Or any other brands to recommend? Also, when he's on Merries, he smells of urine unlike Offspring. Is it normal? TIA! :)
2023-01-05Hi mummies who had c sec, is the wound supposed to heal by 10 days? If not is it surgeon skill issue or? Should there be a visible scar?

2023-01-05Any mummy feels that the society is getting less kind hearted? I remember during my first pregnancy, people will give up seats immediately when they see a pregnant lady walk into the mrt or bus. But nowadays I seldom see people give up seats for needy, some are sleeping or playing with their phones, and got several times, I witness that people saw but they pretend never see it. Thought if I really need the seat, I will request directly, but I really worry about the society nowadays. I am wondering if I am thinking too much or just unlucky?
2023-01-05Dear mommies My 6 months old poops after every feeding. The texture is normal not loose or hard & it's yellow. Is this normal? Usually he poops once every 2 days. Now his butt is reddish and he cries when I wash it.😪
2023-01-05Hi mummies. Do you guys knw if i can send my tula woven carrier and wrap to any laundry shop fr them to wash? Or i can just send to those shop like pramwash?
2023-01-0518 weeks into pregnancy and started developing this pain in the right upper abdomen area ,below the breast bone that is always there. Pain when palpated, pain intensified after a meal (especially so when I get bloated very badly) and sharp when I lie down on my right to rest at night. Antacids prescribed but not helping the most, I have a hunch it’s gallstones… but what can be done during this period of time being pregnant?#pleasehelp #firstmom #firstbaby
2023-01-05Hi I am 26 weeks pregnant and so far my pregnancy was alright just that I was annoyed by my boss for not being understanding, and instead of working together, she just requested me to do the work. I understand that I need to listen to her request, but still, there are times when she can help instead of just questioning why. My company Hr approved my 2 days wfh in a week, but I am not sure why I felt that my boss always gave me extra loads or find trouble when I am wfh. She will keep demand on things and chase me for updates. I felt really tired working under her as she would have mood swings even told me she was tipsy and not concentrating well. #justsharingmyexperience #encouragementplease
2023-01-05Hi mummies! I have a bit of a personal question. Ever since Week 5 of pregnancy til now, I have a weird discharge which is milky-white in colour and has a very weird odour to it. The odour is really strong and similar to acidic kind of smell. Is it normal? Do i have to see a doctor for this or will it go away eventually? I have been feeling really really insecure. Please give me some suggestions 😭#firstbaby #pleasehelp #firsttimemom
2023-01-05I have heard that pineapple, coconut, oranges, grapes are not good during first tri. Are you guys also the same? What kind of food you avoid during early pregnancy?
2023-01-05In my first meeting my gynae just asked me eat more vege and fruits. How early you are given folic acid? I thought it shd be consumed during early pregnancy as the baby will develop heart and brain for first 3 mths?

2023-01-06First time mummy here! My LO is 13 months old, and she still doesn't know how to stand up unsupported. She is able to bring herself up to stand whenever she gripped the sofa. I've seen a lot of babies around her age can start to walk. What do i need to do?
2023-01-06I've trained my LO to eat purees and such at around 6 months age. Now that he's 1 year old, I started to introduce to him like other food such as porridge. However, he doesn't like homemade porrigde. Even when i cooked macoroni soup for babies kind, he doesn't like it too. I tried instant meals for babies, and he rejected it also. Does this mean that he is a picky eater? Or is it because he's teething, his appetite seems to be lesser? Whenever I have a meal or my wife eats, he wants to eat what we are having, but when we prepare a meal for him, he refuses to eat. Can any daddies or mummies advice on this? His weight has dropped a little. Hence, I'm worried if myself or my wife has been doing something wrong these while.

2023-01-06My 3 month old going 4 months old is always crying. Sometimes she will cry when bathe or when we wear clothes that need to go through her head. She cry almost everyday night before sleeping. Quite intensely. Is this normal? Not sure why is she crying. And she can only sleep drink. So at night especially when we need to rock her to sleep and drink she will cry like mad. She sleeps about 18 hrs plus per day. Including night sleep and naps. Not sure if it's normal also?
