- 2023-08-14Hi fellow mummies! I’m currently at 13 weeks but my gynae has not given me any prenatal vitamins to take yet. I’ve only seen my gynae at KKH once - the other appts were to do tests.
So far, I’m taking folic acid and trying to eat foods that are good for the baby.
Did anyone experience the same with KKH’s gynae? Is it normal not to be prescribed prenatal vitamins? Am thinking to ask for them during my next gynae appt.
- 2023-08-14I had 1 session of lactation massage and it helped to unclog some lumps, had an increase supply afterwards but it only maintained the same amount of BM. For Spectra S9, used massage mode for 3 mins and expression for 20mins. Pumped every 3 hours. Hope to get some help! 🥲
- 2023-08-14I have gotten a referral from polyclinic to KKH. Now after reading reviews online and hearing from my sister's experience at SGH, I feel like I should have chosen SGH. Does anyone know if I can change my appt to SGH later? #advicepls #firstpregnancy

- 2023-08-14I’ve been making partial payments every time I get my pay on every month 20th, and I just paid about $100 plus few weeks back, I’ve paid over $700 since March and I have about $400 plus outstanding, which I’m paying monthly bit by bit, we have blady Medisave which stupidly only can be claimed after the baby is delivered! Today I just came for my fetal scan which was arrange by the doctor due to my weight gain which was important, I was told that they will reschedule my appointment after my bill is paid and was told to leave. As I’m walking out, they called me back for the scan, I said you just asked me to leave! Seriously being pregnant is Singapore is f’ed up. What’s the point of having a blady Medisave and it can’t be used for prenatal cares during prenatal visits. Being pregnant is already tough, and people make pregnant women life even tougher. If so why should we even come for appointments, ask them not to give appointments then! Let them be held responsible for whatever that might happen to our baby. ALSO they’re SUPER RESPONSIVE TO THE EMAILS WE SEND! I’ve sent a few emails and have never gotten ANY REPLIES!
- 2023-08-14Dear Mommies,
Brief Background, actually opt for natural birth. However when the time of delivery due date, at the last minute you are required to do Csect instead due to breach position of the baby.
Moreover, the hospital charge both natural birth (1st opt) & Csect together. 😣
BTW, Mount E charging~~.. has anyone encountered that situation?

- 2023-08-15Hi, FTM here. My little one is now 5 days old, and I've been breastfeeding him for about 20-25mins per breast every feeding. He seems satisfied each time but there are occasions when I can't get him to feed on the other breast after 20min because he's really sleepy, so my confinement nanny would top up an additional 60ml of expressed breastmilk and he actually finishes the bottle. We've not done this previously at the hospital and I noticed he started to throw up milk today. Is this a sign of overfeeding?
He also gets hungry quicker, and my nanny has been handing him to me for feeding every hour or so. It made me so tired that I've told her to feed him formula after 12mn but I'm feeling so guilty...

- 2023-08-16Hi mummies
Can anyone share on tip how to heal the c sect faster & how to cope with baby n house chores?
I had my emergency c sect last week, apparently the wound is still sting on and off. I do take my painkillers
I have no confinement nanny hence i have to do everything myself. Is that why i still feel pain on my wound?
If anyone had done c sect and take care baby and house chores on your own, please let me know any tips?
Another stress to add is not very sure if i should pump every 3 hours. My breast sometimes will feel very full but once bb latch then it goes back to normal, but i cant measure how much LO drink hence i prefer to pump.
Get on and off bed still difficult for me as well, but once bb cry i have no choice but to rush it😮💨
Please let me know how you guys cope!! Thanks in advance

I read in some articles saying eating chocolate during breastfeeding is a no-no. But the urge is so bad. Sometimes i cant go to sleep cos i keep thinking about it. I feel like I’m having my pregnancy craving all over again. Anyone experience this before? Or am i the weird one here?

- 2023-08-17Hello mummies , how do u guys teach ur LO to walk? As i heard walkers are not recommended 🥲
- 2023-08-17used few brands, clearblue have to comfortable handle to hold and the test is accurate and fast. Slight expensive than others but worth for the money.
- 2023-08-17Currently 35 weeks gg to 36, and past week ive been feeling pressure on my pubic bone/vagina & also butthole if that makes sense. It doesnt hurt, just feel like a pressure like can feel baby is heavy. And last check, baby is head down & at 2.7kg.

- 2023-08-17Hi everyone!
I went to NUH today for an appointment at 1045M and had to wait for 2 hours for the scan. Can anyone share the waiting time for kkh under subsidised route?
- 2023-08-17I am a foreigner and would be delivering in KKH . I want to
save money as we are bearing all costs without any subsidy. So was looking for some helpful input as I should go for B2 or C ward. Till now pregnancy is completely normal but don't know what happens ahead. I am fine with sharing a room and any doctor for delivery.What all items I need to carry for B2 or C ward .

- 2023-08-18Hi moms,
Is it normal for my 14 month old son to want to go out to play at the playground everyday? He even wants to stay outside all day if he could as he would always cry and be cranky when we go home or when we're at home (I would always bring him out for 2 hours on average every morning). I'm a stay at home mom and I take care of him fully and it's driving me insane that I hv to go out every single day. He doesn't want to play with his toys and gets bored easily. I also don't give him screen time as he will occasionally get it when we are with family. Any suggestions?
- 2023-08-18My girl is 1 month old. She is 5kg and drinks FM 110ml currently. Every 2 to 3 hours. Confinement nanny says we must feed her on schedule(every 3 hours) so we don't over feed her.
But the thing is she cries and fusses every 1 and a half to 2 hours demanding to be fed.
Should I increase the volume of FM or just follow nanny advice and let my baby wait for 3 hours to be fed?
Baby is growing , pooping every 2 to 3 days.
Please help me. I am at my wit's end as I am a FTM and find it hard to soothe baby. 😔

- 2023-08-18What drinking bottle can recommend for 10 months ? I recently bought a Lucky Baby bottle for my son, he seem having difficulties sucking the water, I tried it myself, is like you need a bigger suck to get the water
- 2023-08-18Ever since im pregnant and now at 9 months with a VISIBLY HUGE ASS bump, still working, i always have to stand in the bus, not a single person care to give me seat. They will just act like theyre dying or they will just give me that look.
Ya understand everybody is tired and wants to seat, but it wont kill you if youre healthy, be it young or old, to give a seat to a VERY pregnant lady. It always frustrates me so much. Esp when bus drivers like to jam break or keep braking and you always need to stand in the bus. And you baby’s life is like depending on your strength to hold the pole firmly.
Some likes to seat at the outer side of the seat with no one at window seat, and still dont bother to make way or give the seat.

- 2023-08-18hi mummies, are there any breast pumps that can be converted into handsfree breastpumps? prefer to use regular one at home and have something easier to bring out that can fit into bra... or must I buy it separate ? #breastpump
- 2023-08-18My baby had a vaccination, then a fall and was discharged from KKH recently after the fever and vomiting subsided. So all was good.
But once at home her appetite dropped and there was mucus in her pooo. The colour changed from the usual breastfeeding mustard yellow to watery yellow and light green! Now she's sleeping more than usual and occasionally throws up.
Is this a stomach flu? Or remnants of a vaccination?
Do i go back to the hospital or just peads clinic? Help...
- 2023-08-18Because you or your parents can take care of baby ? If don't send baby to Infantcare, will the baby lose out in terms of socialising and learning new skills?

- 2023-08-18Hellooo! First time mom here. Just wondering, when is the best time to buy an electric pump? Before or after giving birth?
I am planning to breastfeed and alrdy bought the Haaka. Is that enough?
- 2023-08-181st time mom. Need an advice as search forum some are responded in tagalog. Unable to understand. Im 39 weeks 2 days and having little brown and reddish discharge on pantyliner with no pains. Is that mucus plug? Do i wait or head to hospital?
- 2023-08-18i’m not sure how to stop my baby from swaddle :( she’s already 5 months and still swaddle when asleep
- 2023-08-18I have a 2.5 month old. He was taking the bottle from week 1 as he was not latching well, so I was giving him EBM in a bottle. When he was 1.5 months old he fell sick and so I latched him directly as I heard the antibodies will help him. However after this, he has refused the bottle completely and will cry and gag when we give him a bottle. He will only want direct latching.
I have tried other bottle brands, I’ve tried having someone else feed him while I’m in another room, I’ve tried nipple shields. But no progress.
I am starting work soon and will need to send him to IFC. I don’t know what to do as the IFC informed they only bottle feed and wont feed the baby through syringe/cup feeding.
Please help!!
- 2023-08-18Im currently in 3rd trim, almost gg to 9 months.
Do your baby ever give you a scare. Sometimes they’re already very active in the morning moving non stop and sometimes theyre just awfully quiet for few hours that it scared the heck out of it that you already plan to go to hospital to get it checked but then the next minute suddenly baby is doing acrobatic moves and kicking non stop (‘:
Some say by now we would already know our baby’s active hours, but uptil now i still dont know. Unless at night when going to sleep, thats when baby is always moving. But during the day there are days when baby is always active from morning bt there are days when baby take some time to be active , like 11am onwards.
And yes sometimes i would purposely poke my tummy for baby to move when it gets too quiet then he’ll be angry and kick non stop😂

- 2023-08-18Hi, my LO is 3mo and recently she has been shaking her head. Usually at night/morning, it’s not the hungry type of shaking but it’s like looking left and looking right but very quickly, wanted to ask if any other LO does the same too? We notice such behaviour starting around 2mo, is it infection? She is eating and sleeping well, pee is okay and poop every 3-4 days. #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #firstbaby #FTM

But i’m so worried as I didnt do the NIPT and went google to realise that femur length may relate to down syndrome or chromosome abnormalities. #advicepls #firstbaby #pleasehelp
