2023-08-07anyone feels like that they have less motivation or even days that you don’t feel like doing anything during pregnancy am finding it hard to find the motivation to get up and work 😪 not sure if i’m becoming lazy or it’s just crazy hormones making me feel down that i can’t work as effective during pre pregnancy
2023-08-07Anyone just give birth at tmc? What is the discharge gift?
2023-08-07I just gave birth and I feel stressed about taking care of a newborn alone when my hubby went back to work. I really don't know what to do if the baby cries, or feels sick or other things that might happen. I have attended a talk on how to do basic care for a baby but I still feel not so confident. My friends who have kids told me I will learn along the way and get used to the routine of taking care of a newborn and maternal instincts will kick in. But I am not so sure and feeling worried that I can't give the best care to my newborn baby. Please help 😭#FTM #advicepls #firstbaby #pleasehelp
2023-08-07I'm 17 weeks pregnant and the nausea is still bad. I've tried diclectin and zofran but it does not help. Gynae said it can be like that for some women. The supplements tend to make it more worse sometimes. #advicepls
2023-08-07My discharge increased during 2nd trim, but i didnt expect for it to increase more in 3rd trim🥵 i dont have itchiness or infection or whatsoever and the discharge is milky white or sometimes clear. I dont wear underwear or pantyliner at home and sometimes to the point it drips on my leg to the point that i thought its water bag leakage but apparently its my discharge. Sometimes after just going to toilet, itll come out again. Its not like alot alot but more to the frequency of it coming out. Is this normal? Currently 34weeks. #FTM
2023-08-07Can spouse stay overnight? Any pros and cons? How much is the hospital bill for normal delivery and stayed 2 bedded? #advicepls #firsttimemom #pleasehelp
2023-08-07I have 6 more weeks to go before EDD and hoping for vaginal birth with epidural. Any mummies can share any tips to minimise tearing down there during delivery ? How to push and any tips and methods to push? As i heard the nurse wont teach us how to push. Heard that controlling our breathing, not lifting the butt and put chin down when pushing helps. #FTM
2023-08-07I have decided to get epidural when im giving birth in weeks to come. How does epidural feels like? Is it painful when they insert it ? I read quite a few say it feels like current going down the legs. And any side effect afterwards? Like shivering etc? If we’re shivering, will it affect us when trying to push ? #FTM
2023-08-07Hi mommies May I ask if you all use the milk collector or manual pump by Haakaa? If so, anyone does UV sterilising? The website says must use boiling water but I have a UV steriliser at home though. Appreciate your kind inputs 🙏🏻#firstbaby #firsttimemom #pleasehelp

2023-08-07Would you want your husband to join your family to celebrate your sibling's(elder or younger birthday dinner, what about normal family dinner? Hub did mention before that he will join in for my parents' birthday celebrate but not sibling.
2023-08-07My daughter have a habit to hit her head and pull her hair when she’s laying drinking her milk or when she feel she did something bad. Is this of a concern?
2023-08-07When did your stretch mark starts to appear ? And how little/bad is it ? Ive been applying bio oil and palmer’s since 1st trim in hoping i wont get. And it was all clear until now, 34++ weeks suddenly i see some dark stretchmark on my left lower belly 🥲🥲🥲 i believe what caused it was also from the itchy hands scratching tummy. Cause i dont believe scratching tummy eill cause stretch mark. And now its there. Will it gets worst as pregnancy progress? Heard that it’s genetic but will it fade after birth if i continue using the oil and cream ? #FTM

2023-08-07From 1cm dilate to 10cm how long ur labour last? Mine doesnt seem to progress after 2 days…. Feel worried already #pleasehelp #firstbaby #firsttimemom #firstmom
2023-08-07I’m going for natural delivery with epidural. Will be due in about 2 weeks or so. But reading about the immediate side effects is making me think twice. Not so scared of the needle going into the spine part but more afraid of the immediate side effects like shivering and vomiting as mentioned by many mommies. Any mommies went through epidural without any shivering or vomiting at all? #FTM #pleasehelp
2023-08-07I'm experiencing heartburn these past few days (I'm currently in my 22 weeks). Anyone experiencing the same, and what can I do ease it?
2023-08-07To mummies who gave birth at KKH and/or NUH, could you share your experience on what birth positions they allow? Does the hospital allow you to bring yoga ball or move around the room before the actual pushing? If they do allow, at what cm dilation do they insist you to be on bed? And once on bed, is it a must to be on your back? I'm first time mum and watch a lot of vids where women get to move around. I wish I can do that too to fasten the labour. But I do know they strap the baby heart rate monitor on you (not sure at what cm dilation), so that may restrict movement? Appreciate all advice and insights. Im currently on subsidy route and will be moving to my preferred gynae in a month's time. Thank you! #advicepls #FTM #firsttimemom #firstbaby

2023-08-08Dear Mommies, I know its abit odd but does any mommies out there ever encountered that you are tested positive for pregnancy while you are on your period? I didnt expect to come period on 31st July. Because my actual menses supposed to happen on the 22 July. I thought I am pregnant since I'm late for about a week. So I try to test for pregnancy but it turns out negative. Despite having all the pregnancy symptoms. Then again I try test again a week later after my menses since my symptoms getting stronger. And yea, I tested positive using home urine pregnancy kit. It was so clear 2 lines. However I am on and off bleeding. So I'm abit confused 😕

2023-08-10Hello everyone! 👋 I am Dr Peter Wang, MBBS, Anchor Doctor at Speedoc. 👨🏻‍⚕️ As a healthcare professional and a parent, I understand that the health and well-being of your little one is of utmost importance. Hence, I am hosting this session to discuss key topics such as the vital role in monitoring your baby’s health and care tips that aim to support your physical and mental well-being as you embrace parenthood. 🌺💖 Kindly leave your questions in the comments section below. I will do my best to respond to every question! 💡🗣️ Topic: Why is it Important to Count Kicks During Pregnancy? 🤰 Date: Wednesday, 16 August 2023 Time: 8.00 pm to 9.00 pm
2023-08-10Hi mummies, any of you experienced terrible lower back ache during your pregnancy? I’m now about 16 weeks and while my stomach is not very obvious yet, the baby is blocking my insides so I can’t even bend over forward to stretch my back if I need to. The back ache is a lot worse when I stand for too long (eg cooking) or after sleeping. It’s painful enough to wake me up to toss and turn at night. Anyone with any solutions or advice please? I don’t dare to apply topical painkiller gel as I am not sure if those are safe for pregnancy #advicepls Supposed to travel for a short trip a few days later, but the pain is so bad I’m thinking of cancelling the trip.
2023-08-10I am worried that newborn will stick to nanny instead of me because my baby co sleep with her and was fed by nanny. Od nanny leaves, then my newborn will keep crying and not used to me caring.#advicepls #pleasehelp #firsttimemom

2023-08-10Abit explicit but how often to have sex few weeks leading to edd ? Currently gg to 35weeks. As i heard it can soften the cervix or something. #FTM

2023-08-10As a FTM, is it necessary to invest in an expensive breastpump like medela and spectra with tubings? Can we just buy the affordable ones and wearable cups ones ? #FTM

2023-08-10Hi mummies! Do we start counting the confinement days from day of birth or when we are back home from the hospital? The minimum 28 days or 30 days?
2023-08-10Dear Mummies, I am confused whether to go to NUH or KKH. Currently going or checkups under subsidy in KKH. Liked KKH consultation, timing and facilities. Do anyone have experience with the doctors Dr. Kazila Bhutia or Dr. Ada Ng from KKH? I had mild rectocele and GDM for the first pregnancy. Any other suggestions for doctors in NUH or KKH for my case. I prefer to choose an experienced consultant to a busy senior consultant. Please help :)

2023-08-10My gynae doesn't allow me to take HL until 37 weeks. I'm currently 32 weeks .I'm suffering from pelvic pain on my left side causing me to have difficulty walking normally or sleeping.

2023-08-10Ftm and My Baby has turn 1 Month and 10days. I need help/advise. Is it normal for BB to cry and don't sleep usually this happened at night 9pm onwards, at times will be after feeding and burping 3am onwards. BB will cry and seems to be very fussy, tried to calm her but just don't go.. tried many positions to get her to sleep but still the same, this will happen in the morning too.. Is this normal ? What can i do..i am exhausted..and plus i don't think i have a good recovery and rest due to this...at one point i just broke down while my bb kept crying non stop, i just feel like putting her down and just lock my self...can this also lead to PP Depression? I have my spouse who support me but was just not enough, coz once he's out to work i am back to square one alone w the BB. I have another 2 month before i head back to work, and i do really need the time to pause and rest before i strt with my stressful work load. So many to let it out but this will do, TYIA for reading my long winded post. #pleasehelp #FTM #tiredmommy #exausted
2023-08-10I’m about 5 weeks pregnant now and just noticed mucusy brown discharge when I went to the toilet. Is this normal or should I see a doctor? I’ve also been having slight cramping the past few days. FYI, this is my second pregnancy. First pregnancy was almost 3yrs ago and resulted in an emergency c-sect so would that have anything to do with my symptoms now? #anxiousmommy #pleasehelp

2023-08-10May I check how frequently do you mummies go for checkup and ultrasound at week 32 and after?
2023-08-10I am stayhome new mom of 3 months of baby boy. I recently hired a indo maid (34) to help specifically with housework. I can manage house and baby well but my husband insisted to hire maid. She is short, fat and talkative. I'm a very private person and like to be alone with my baby. On 1st day, she tried to rub my arm and try to sweet talk to me. I feel disgusted as I hate people pleaser. On 3rd day, she asked "mdm can I follow you when you oversea?". I'm a very independent person and I hate someone following me when I go outside ( aside from friends and families). I feel obligated to force to talk to her or buy her something when I allow her to follow me. So when I go out alone with baby, she asked " where you go? Where you do? Who you meet?" When my online parcels arrive, she asked " what's inside?? For who??" I gave her wifi password, allow her to go out when she's free, she can take naps during day and everyday, she can eat everything inside the fridge and I give her allowance to go pasar malam. She sleeps at 8pm every night and start work at 7am. She said she scare to go out alone, no friends in sg and want to follow me everywhere. I feel like I have another burden. She pretend to be soo nice to my son in front of me. She keeps saying " oh mdm you have very nice things, baby has all nice things hor" She drinks coffee 2 times a day with sugar, bread ( requested me to get bigger bread for her), finish all chocolate within 2 weeks, eat 2 cups of rice each meal. I ask her go ntuc, she said tired so she buy potato chips, another trip said tired so buy drinks ( ntuc only 5 mins away). I started to feel so suffocated around her. I don't allow her in my room as she tried to wear my shoes. I feel like I have to keep cctv in my room just in case. Btw she can't even mix baby formula with water. How? She forced to carry my baby and I don't trust her as she try to give solid food ( she said she did the same with her babies). Updates: she finished whole huge bag of rice within 3 weeks. I am shocked as my family eat that bag for a year. So I expected it to last at least 2 months. She wakes up at 7 am .. Later than emplor family and every night sleeps at 8pm. Lol she is having too much good time here.
2023-08-10Hi mummies, does your husband stay in the hospital with you throughout the entire day + sleepover after birth or only some times? As my husband mentioned that he will try to be in the hospital most of the time and will visit after he ends work. Is this normal or am i overreacting and feel that he doesnt prioritise me and the baby since i will be very vulnerable

2023-08-11I need to let this out my chest. Been crying till I couldn’t breathe. I have suffered so many during the course of my 5 yr marriage. Being lied to, cheated on, hurt physically emotionally and mentally. But i still took him in, still forgives him and give my all as wife everyday. Just recently i told him as i aged (i am in mid 30s) i noticed an increasingly amount of jealousy. I have never not once been a jealous person but on 2 separate occasions i TOLD him i felt a certain way when he was acting strangely. Told him nicely at first but he is lousy dont know how to calm my overthinking mind. i went through so much in the past of course i still have that trauma. And just this second time i showed my jealousy, when he was videocalling me and his friend came and he muted the call, i asked him and his reason was nonsense- coz of some vulgarity as though im a kid. And just this 2nd time i sulk, he said this to me “please stop before i stop having feelings for u” just this 2 times. After many yrs together. But i. Went through. Years of pain. I had to live through the pain of living with someone who caused me a painful past. Flashbacks after flashbacks. I may be stupid for forgiving him but i have children so it is not as easy as walking out and goodbye. I am just so upset that i am not able to put in words. Am I overreacting? Its just twice. On separate occasions. I didnt sleep with anybody unlike him. But this 2 times, i gave in and apologised. In fact, 99% of our arguments i would be the first to say sorry and move on. Why is my life so miserable. I am just really sad for myself.

2023-08-11I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have been craving for ice cream. I'm so worried about taking cold things. So worried that if I took it it would make the womb cold and make my joints aching worse and + I'm taking tcm med too. Does anyone have a similar situation like me but still eat cold food? #advicepls #firsttimemom #firstbaby #firstpregnancy

2023-08-11Hi mamas, I am on my first trimester and I am craving so badly for light sugared drinks due to my morning sickness. I'd been trying less sugar 菊花 or wheatgrass but I am concern about the sugar level. Non sugar Milo seems too thick and chalky and it makes my morning sickness worst. Any recommendation for non sugar flavoured drinks ?
2023-08-11Hi All, anyone faces baby that has high direct bilirubin level? 😥

2023-08-11To protect the community, I think it will be ideal if we can all share the names and issues/details of all the horrid experiences with helpers that other mummies and parents can take note of. We can ofcourse complain it to MOM as a feedback, however we will only be prompted when applying for helper's WP and if its a transfer helper, all these will be sorted by agency so new employers may not even be aware. Perhaps we can list it in this format so everyone can share their nightmares and easier for us to search as well? 1) Name of helper (FULL) 2) Passport no. (Censored first few digits) 3) The issues/details why she's a nightmare We need to protect the sanity and also ourselves as we're all spending so much money for so much uncertainty already...
2023-08-11Hi all, we went out today. My little one wore a pants that is over-the-knee length, the length reaches about the middle of her calf. When we came back we saw that she have these red spots, even at her upper thighs above the knee (which was supposed to be covered by her pants). We are mostly indoors today don’t think I see any mosquitoes, so I’m perplexed how she could have so many red spots that seem like mosquito/insect bites… may I know what could have caused these? Or is she sensitive to certain materials? There is one red patch at her right foot too. Not sure if this is caused by the materials on her baby stroller? Thank you in advance. #rash #redness #mosquitoes #insectbites
2023-08-11Hi :) I’m a first time mum and was given the Cimilre P1 breast pump as a hand me down. I went to read up on this pump and it is a small portable pump, and there seem to be little reviews on it. Does anyone have any review on this breast pump? And I was wondering if there is a need for me to still get a hospital grade Spectra pump? Thank you :) #firsttimemom #advicepls #pleasehelp

2023-08-11Easy to use but I don’t enjoy using it with the magnifier. Somehow, it disturbs and distorts my view. Lol! 😂 So I end up using this without the magnifier.
2023-08-11Tried & Tested, proven it works. Easy to bring around.

2023-08-12Any mummies did not use herbal bath during confinement, and just bath as per usual and turns out fine ?

2023-08-12Hi mummies, in the event we go to hospital, KKH, when we start feeling contraction or lost of mucus plug, will they straight away ask us to change to gown and push us to labour room? Or we’ll be sent to our ward first ? When do they strap the ctg thing & check dilation ? Can walk me through the procedure/steps? So i know what to expect. As for ward stay charges, they will only charge the days post delivery stay right ? Not before the stay in the event we have to stay at ward before being pushed to labour room. #FTM
2023-08-12Ill be delivering in KKH, and my edd is in 5 weeks time. Hopefully ill be able to go natural. Specifically for ladies that wear hijab, do we need to cover up once we change to hospital gown, and in labour room and during delivery? Like wearing hijab, handsock and long pants? Or the handsock and pants are more to when we are in the ward when visitors come in ? Do you also pack extra hijab in your hospital bag? #FTM
