2022-02-28Hi mummies, any TCM or home remedy to recommend for pregnant women? Currently 32 weeks and coughing very badly for about one month already. consulted 3 doctors (2GP & 1polyclinic), drank 3 different types of cough syrup and was on antibiotic + pro-antibiotic. Even got inhaler + lozenges from polyclinic but still not getting better.

2022-02-28hello everyone. i notice most of the mummies here have been prescribed obimin or other vitamins by gynae for 12 weeks onwards. however for 12 weeks i’ve only been prescribed prenavit(since week 4) and fish oil (just started). is it sufficient ? or do i need to self purchase other vitamin supplements separately?

2022-02-28Anybody feels bloated and just overall not good upon eating prenatal/multivitamin? I've been consuming this for about 2wks & I don't know if my body just can't adapt to the dosage or what else. I always take this with/after food. Dr said was ok to consume this when I consulted her. Or do you guys switch to taking prenatal at night instead? #firstbaby #pregnancy

2022-02-28Sharing my recent ectopic pregnancy experience. I went back to my private gynae a week later for a followup. Sac still cannot be seen at week 6 via ultrasound with some masses found in right tube area. I had no bleeding, no sharp pain, just slight aches in lower back. I was referred immediately to A&E at kkh, sgh, mt E. Chose Kkh, went to the A&E, checked and found right tube seems swollen. Got referred to radiologist for further detailed check. Finally to find the sac to be in my right fallopian tube. Yolk sac found, no fetal pole, 2.4cm. Things suddenly escalated with no explanation, nurse with wheel chair came, pushed to nurses office, then nurses with a bed came to fetch me back to A&E waiting room while waiting for my beta and radiologist report which can take an hour or 2. I guess the news can only be shared via the doctor's mouth. Nurse did an ART test for me suddenly. Within 30 mins Doctor called for me and shared the news, ectopic confirmed on the right, my Hcg lvl was over 10 000, too high to be considered for medicine treatment. I need to go for the surgery right away on the same day. Laparoscopic salpingectomy, i was shocked when the doctor told me my tube will be removed with the ectopic pregnancy to avoid complications and future recurrence. Everything felt like a dream, from a blighted ovum few months ago and now ectopic. Surgeon said my uterus and left fallopian tube looks fine from the inside. Theres no specifc reason or link between the ectopic and blighted ovum. The fact that i can get pregnant twice it means the sperm and the egg are fine. I dont smoke and im below 35 with no history in the family with such issue. I just wonder what can i do or eat to prevent or reduce such risk further next time. Probably nt meant to have a Tiger year baby 🤔 #advicepls #ectopicPregnancy

2022-03-01Hi mummies, looking for double stroller recommendation. My kids are both 5 years old(14kg) and 4 months old(7kg). I’m a sahm mom, looking for compact ones like Merricart and kinderwagon but realise it’s not convenient( can’t fully recline and too small for my eldest) as nap time is crucial for both of them and they nap well in their individual strollers Baby num#2 usually soak in sweats when I babywear her hence looking for double stroller. Looking for non bulky, dual facing stroller if possible. Eyeing on joie and contour. Appreciate your recommendation.
2022-03-01I am 27 weeks today. I have no issues only concern is walking, sitting or standing may cause butt cramps that hurt down to my feet. May take days to become normal again and will start hurting again if I do mild walking or sitting or standing. Is it normal?
2022-03-01Hello mummies. is there any place in sg where i can bring my toddler to feed/play with ducks? thanks in advance.

2022-03-01Hi I'm at 7 weeks currently. Just wondering, has any mummies ever felt "disconnected" from their baby during these early weeks? I felt the stretch, tingle, pull, cramps at 4 & 5 weeks, and when my 1st born son tap on my tummy, I could feel the hard bump. But from 6 weeks up till today, I feel like my tummy is "empty"? I am VERY worried as we don't plan to see any gynaes until at least 10 weeks. Also, at night I do still feel a bit of that pulling sensation in my tummy, and totally NO BLEEDING up till today with 2 lines still on any test kits used. Should I be very worried or is this extremely normal?
2022-03-01Baby stopped crying murder when 3rd month. Now 7th month,h3 started to get frustrated easily such as changing his clothes,waiting for milk.. He will cry murder... Any of u experience this? Isit growth spurt ,teething or?

2022-03-01Hello..just wondering does anyone have headaches at 11 weeks pregnancy. I am suddenly having headaches every now and then
2022-03-01I need help. Emotional support help. I'm pregnant for 4-5 weeks(according to my period calculator tracker). This is my first baby. I was diagnosis with hyperthyroidism(grave disease) since 2015. Been following up well with my endocrinology at NUH, so far everything when good before I got pregnant. Now, I starting to feel depressed about this pregnancy. I got nausea all day. I cried many times during working hours and even at night to the point my anixety rises up. I begin to start blaming my husband for putting me in this position. I'm scared what if my baby will not born like a normal healthy baby. I know, I shouldn't be overthinking but mummies, I can't help it feeling this way. It's gotten so bad that I can't eat and even if I do, it will taste nothing. I can't sleep due to the pain of backpains and cramps. Mummies, tell me what should I do to ease a bit of pain on this journey? #pleasehelp #firstbaby #1stimemom #pregnancy

2022-03-01My 23mo has been throwing tantrums over every little thing, every minor inconvenience will send her into a meltdown, saying no sends her, not being able to close a box sends her, not allowing her to touch certain stuffs sends her. Any advice?
2022-03-01There’s this ‘Rukinem’ who have been replying to 1.3K worth of questions from 6y ago with ‘thanks’ and it’s starting to get annoying. Like due to his/her spam, those actual recent post gets pushed behind. Like I’m totally fine if they replied normally with a proper answer but no… it’s full of ‘thanks’. Zzz #advicepls

2022-03-01I'm in my 1st Tri now & in need of some feedbacks. 1. Anyone else have hyper sensitive sense of smell that literally the sniff of anything makes you feel like vomitting? What & how do you control it? 😭 2. My lower leg/calf aches everyday. I thought this will happen in later stage like end of 2nd Tri or 3rd Tri. Why do I feel the aches so soon? 😭 3. Do you ever feel like eating something but when the food or meal is in front of you, you lost your appetite? This is just so sad! 😭 4. When the plain water that I drink daily before being pregnant, now tastes one kind of weird & now I can't even take a single gulp. I have tried lemon infused water, juices but end up drinking only a little as everything will taste too sweet/too sour/too bitter. I'm really disheartened as I know my body needs fluids. What do you mummies drink? Will appreciate all feedbacks/comments/advises in advance! ❤️

2022-03-02I'm 36wks pregnant. But a few days ago I realised my baby hasn't been moving much (or at all). Im not talking about kicking because i understand my baby is getting to big. But sometimes there's no movements at all for several hours. Even after I eat, walks around the house and eating sweets. Tried to poke around my belly which usually my baby will respond. But not anymore. I am kinda worried but people around me been telling maybe the baby are getting to big to move or she's just sleeping. Should be worried or it's normal? FYI, I don't do the kick counting at all.

2022-03-02Am 36 weeks now. Been having contractions like 20-30 mins intervals. Having period like cramping and lower backache during the contractions. Is this a sign of labor? Am confused about it.
2022-03-02My LO is 9 weeks, used to drink 90ML every 2 hourly.. Now after 90ML, I have to top up 20ML by 20ML and she can take 130ml & still be asking for more in the day time. (But if I give her 100ml in one serving, she cannot finish.. only if I start with 90 & keep topping up immediately after her first 90 ML 😓) Bottle fed full EBM. But I’m not sure like after 10pm she can only drink 90ML max (she will lock her lips,turn her head, push the bottle with her hands, smile or keep talking) and that can last her 5-6hrs 🤔 One more question: Do I need to wake her up to drink? #advicepls #firstbaby #1stimemom TIA!

2022-03-03Hello mommies, Iam new in Singapore and I have feeling bit lonely and depressed these days..I don't have friends here and my personal life is not going well so I don't have anyone to pour my heart out. Iam looking for a friend with who I can speak anonymously . I don't want to reveal my info and someone who would hear me out so I can feel less sad and lonely like online anonymous friend where we both don't know anything about eachother and just for sharing our feelings and day to day life to talk. Is there any app or website like that?

2022-03-03Hi mummies. I returned to work this Tuesday after my 4 months maternity leave. I was really down and sad not able to be there for my baby. I’m sure all mummies will feel the same. I thought it will get better after a few days but these feelings still remain. I felt emotional whenever I received my baby’s photos from my mum and when I think about my fear of missing out. Work was busy and it’s difficult to catch a time to pump milk. Always with sudden meetings and duties. I can never leave my work place on time due to the workload and only to reach home at 6+ to 7pm which only left me with 2-3hrs of time with baby. The covid situation in my workplace is getting worst. I know it’s a new normal now. There’s at least one person get contacted with covid each day. I’m worried I might get it and pass it to baby and the thought of not able to see and touch baby for 7 days is painful. Babies are young and they are unable to express their pain if contacted by covid and we aren’t sure about the long term effects. I’m planning to resign soon but notice is 3 months long. I cried almost everyday since I start work. How do you manage post maternity leave blues? #advicepls #1stimemom #pregnancy #worryingmom

2022-03-05I am a first time mother who just gave birth few days ago… I feel so stressed up with my MIL who would force me to breastfeed my baby and she would literally comment on everything i do. I have a hard time latching and i could only pump milk which is so tiring mentally and physically and the comments from my MIL stress me up even more. Is it so wrong to give baby formula milk? What should i do :( #advicepls

2022-03-05My 7month old baby doesn’t finish her milk at one go. She needs to be coaxed to take her milk with frequent breaks and sometimes can leave like half a bottle. Dread her milk or meal time cos really need alot of patience. When it comes to having her solids, she will just open her mouth for that few times. And she opens her mouth so narrowly that the food gets pushed out while sending it into her mouth. Then after, dun wan to open the mouth when she sees the spoon. More effective feeding her by hand. But i dun wan her to reject the spoon in future… most of the time feed until super frustrated. Gain weight very slowly falls in the 10-25th percentile i think she is dropping lower. Any mummy experience similar situation too?

2022-03-05Hi! In my first and second trimester, my hair growth was insane! My leg hair, underarm hair and hair on my head grew like crazy!! Always had to shave/wax. However as I entered my third trimester, I find everything slowing down! My leg hair is growing much slower as well as my underarms(easier to notice than hair on my head). Do any of you experience this too??? 👀

2022-03-05My baby is 2-3months old and she can sleep all the way from 11pm to 6 or 7am without waking up or crying for milk. Would like to ask if any mum encounter the same thing? If yes, do you (1) wake ur baby up to latch or (2) pump ur milk and store in fridge first? I have tried (1) but she is very difficult to be waken up and even if she barely wakes up to latch, she will fall asleep halfway and even if keep waking her up, she will just suckle on 1 or 2 times for show and falls asleep and this will take too long that you will rather pump and save time...
2022-03-05Previous birth was by C-sect and opting for vbac for the coming one but the previous doctor I saw scheduled a C-sect a day after my EDD. Was wondering if I could cancel the scheduled c-sect and wait for baby to come out by himself? Is it safe to wait or how long can I wait till it becomes dangerous to keep baby in longer? Thanks in advance
2022-03-05Currently living with my in law while i'm pregnant with my second child. After giving birth i will be in confinement at their house while my husband prepares for our new rental flat for us to move in after confinement ended. The thing is i'm having some conflicts with my mother in law,here's some example of whats been happening just this week: 1)my husband aunt came all the way from australia to visit my in laws.My first son is out of wedlock so i don't really know if they knew my son exist,just that we got married but funny thing is my mother in law posted pictures of my son on her facebook plus my husband posted pictures of my son on his instagram and her daughter follows him so automatically she may be made aware of the "situation" but the thing is,my mother in law asked me to go to my parents house or our house to avoid his aunt from seeing my son. My husband works shift,i can't be alone in my house while i'm pregnant and handling my toddler all by myself.Mind you,i'm in my 39 weeks already so being alone is not ideal for me. 2)my siblings wanted to see our new house and growing up with them,i know what to expect from them,meaning i have to be at my parents house within 5 minutes asap!so me being pregnant,i have to rush to shower,get ready and be out and arrive by 5 mins. My husband gave me a call before asking me to take our house key from my mother in law and right after that my sister gave me a call demanding to know where is my location etc,so while on the phone,irritated and literally arguing with my sister. I showed my mother in law signs that i want my husband house key which she gave and she hears me being annoyed with my sister,i took the keys and immediately went out of the house cause like i said i have to be there in 5 mins and my parents and in law house is a 5 mins walking distance. That same time she called my husband saying that she felt disheartened that i never talk to her and she doesn't wanna go to our house anymore because of me. So the thing is,what do i want to say to her while i'm leaving the house?i got nothing to say,no time for small talks. She felt disheartened?i do too cause she indirectly chase us out of the house cause of my son. She never apologise for making me feel that way,why should i apologise to her?seriously can't wait to leave this house and stay on our own. Too much negativity and its affecting my pregnancy not to mention my in law argue everyday without fail,cursing each other out and i don't want my son to grow up in that environment thinking that its okay to curse at your own parents or seeing them argue and shouting at each other.
