2023-08-21Im currently 36 weeks and i believe altho my edd is in 4 weeks time, i can still give birth anytime from now. However i cant help but to feel scared of giving birth. I know the pain will be beyond words. And im scared of the life after having a baby as i heard its very traumatising especially the first few months. 😭😭 My husband cant wait for the baby to arrive but i believe husbands wont really know what we will be going through. I do want the baby to come fast but i feel like also not ready for the heavy responsibility and commitment. If you get what i mean. How do i think positive and look at the brighter side 🫠 #FTM

2023-08-21My baby is turning 6 months old in 2 days time. She have not been drinking her milk very well since last few weeks. Will only drink it after every 4 hour or when she is very hungry. Have already changed the teat, adjust the temperature, try to adjust the environment. But still the same. Currently, she taking the Similac Total Comfort. Her bowel movement is ok. I'm thinking maybe she do not like the taste of the milk. And I'm considering to change her formula milk to another brand. What brand is the best alternative for the current formula milk she drinking. Any suggestion mummies? #firstmom #firstbaby #pleasehelp #milkpowder

2023-08-21Hi mummies, im currently 36 weeks. Is it normal that at this stage theres lesser strong kicks, more to softer kicks & most of the time its just baby moving around and kind of sticking butt out or something.

2023-08-21Other than frequent braxton hicks that doesnt hurt, Is it normal to experience light period cramping at uterus at 9th month ? Only come like once a day ? And also always having stomachache and pooping loose stool multiple times a day. #firstbaby
2023-08-21My 5 month++ old son always seems hungry. I wonder if it’s normal thing for baby boy? I normally feed him every 3 hours, 150 ml. But recently, it went to every 2 hours or sometimes even after one hour of his feeds he will be very fussy. Tried so many things like put him to sleep or etc but doesn’t works. After feeding him milk again, he’s ok. I’m afraid of overfeeding him but so far he doesn’t throw out milk. #firsttimemom
2023-08-21At which week did you start going for walks & going up & down stairs to ease labor ? Wanted to start at 36 weeks but scared ill get early contraction or something #FTM
2023-08-21My husband ask me if he is needed whenever I say I have a gynae visit which is kind of irritating me very big time. I feel he does not want to be involve and rather be at work than to go through these pregnancy with me. I have always been independent. I never needed him for such things but after I started talking to my friends and realise , everyone’s partner accompany them for almost every gynae check which make me start to feel irritated when he ask me why I have so many checkup just because 2 is arranged by kkH and 1 is by private gynae and all happen in 1 month to go through the FTS and etc… I don’t know if it’s my hormones or is he really making my pregnancy lonely..
2023-08-21My gynae encouraged me to climb up flights of stairs to self induce. Any mummies tried and succeeded? How many storeys did u climb per day and how long after did u manage to go into labour?

2023-08-21After washing and sterilise, where do you store your pumps parts (including those milk cup collector & hakaa) and avoid it from getting dusty? I dont wish to use the fridge hack as i read that its not safe. I dont think i would want to leave it in uv steriliser as steriliser is in the kitchen and would be hard for me to take whenever i want to pump esp at night. Can i just store it in a lid container and put in my room/side trolley ? Or put in silicone/reusable ziplock bag. #FTM

2023-08-22What is your baby’s weight at 35 weeks? Went for my regular appt today and turns out baby is 3.1kg at 35 weeks and estimated to be 3.8-4kg at birth. Gynae was saying that this baby is large. I asked about whether I should take note of my diet etc but was told that there’s nothing much that I can do about it because it’s mostly genes. Just wondering is there really nth that I can do? I want to avoid c-sect as much as possible. I’m a FTM!

2023-08-22Hello, im 20 weeks & 3 days today & was just wondering if any mummies experienced pain on the lower ribs. Been experiencing the pain (like a bruising pain and not sharp) & was wondering if that's the effect of the stomach growing or is it because I've been sleeping on my sides hence the pressure causing it to 'bruise' inside.
2023-08-22My 2 months old baby sleeping too much and not drinking milk. Anyone can help me with this?
2023-08-22My post partum period stopped 10 days after giving birth.

2023-08-22Hello mamas, any idea what kind and where I can get maternity or comfy bra that can last through the pregnancy ?

2023-08-23Hi all, I just went for my first gynae check up yesterday at 9 weeks! There was an ovarian cyst that's 20cm huge.

2023-08-23Anyone experience dry, itchy and flaky scalp during pregnancy? I actually had this since Jun, been to doctors twice tried Dermasone & Ketanozole 2%(only tried once till I found out I am 5 weeks pregnant and don’t dare to continue) , bought other shampoos as well like Selsun blue(contains ammonia) & just started on Sebamed everyday shampoo but it doesn’t seem to get better. The 2nd pic was the amount of flakes on my pillow. I wash my hair everyday because it’s very itchy. I don’t know what I can use to relieve me, anyone had the same problem & resolved the issue? When I try to put fish oil the other day, my flakes became huge & yellowish I stopped.😖😩😭#advicepls #FTM
2023-08-23i feel like i'm sinking into depression after giving birth... pregnancy was tough, high risk, hosp visits every 2 weeks, i was working ft and had a pt job, my husband didnt contribute much towards my appointments/ preparing for baby... he didnt even give me money for expenses. he MIA 2 weeks after i gave birth, came back home with tattoo, caught him cheating on me thrice as of now. want to divorce but he owes me $10k but fat hope of getting my money back lol. now he will call me "fucking dog" he likes to play victim. tells me he doesnt care about me. i wanted to kiss baby and he pulled and twisted my wrist that is already hurting from carrying baby a lot. punched my arms too. i hate him to the core. finding strength to walk away from this relationship.

2023-08-24Hi, can check if any of your newborn make a dolphin high pitched sound during feeding and sleep? Did you get it checked at the PD?
2023-08-24I heard that newborn babies shouldn’t be sat up right. However I’ve the doona stroller+car seat. Car seat is fine as baby will be lying down. But as for the stroller, baby seems to be sat upright which isn’t good for the posture according to the older generations. Can someone advise on this?🙁
2023-08-24Had bleeding last night. It was like period n I bleed heavily for whole night. Panicking, went A&E in the morning. They did a scan and found some dark shadow beside the pregnancy sac. Suspected blood clots that is causing the bleeding. As I had my weekly jab yesterday and already on high dose of medicine, gynae ask me to monitor at hm. If heavy bleeding again, hv to go back A&E. Fingers crossed. Wish us luck.

2023-08-24Anyone gave birth to their firstborn naturally before their due date without doing anything special or exercising ? 😅 Im currently gg to 37w and scared if i dont walk enough or go up down stairs it will make my pregnancy overdue and my labour longer As i just started HL(no medical reason, gynae just gave to rest from work) mostly will be resting at home, so i wont be walking much. So am a little worried. #FTM
2023-08-24If i am petite and small, with quite a big tummy(baby still within normal weight) Will that means i will have a harder and longer time pushing baby out and higher chance getting bigger tear/episiotomy ? Or it doest have anything to do with small body. #FTM

2023-08-25Hi mummies, yesterday I noticed that my freshly pumped breastmilk smells a little metallic. Has anyone experienced this before?
2023-08-25Mums from the pic i tested same day right after i dip the strip n right away the clear blue. My test line is not darker yet i got smiley face? Hmmm i confuse digital say “ur 2 most fertile days” to no avail. Got 10 pieces every month try also same or isit not not accurate cos the strip test line also not darker… just feel i forgot how to make baby. Yes the first baby is so easy. I give up on checking every time. The recent what i did is i feel something wet discharged flow out i took the test strip then i see the test line slightly darker. We did it but still no good news. Sad 😔. I read some articles or comments saying “ u are most fertile right after giving birth and not breastfeeding. I am 11 months postpartum.. and is lucky i did also on birth control . U know after u give birth the nurses advice to take birth control etc..
2023-08-25Hello mummies, what do you all give your 13mo each meal? My LO have been eating porridge all along. Tried cooking tomato sauce star pasta for him but he reject. So far the best is half bowl only. What else can I give him? I just doesn't want him keep eating porridge#firsttimemom
2023-08-25First time mom here! I am intending to place my child at the infant care when the maternity leaves end. With the WFH arrangement, I would like to know the followings : 1) any minimum attendance required? 2) any standard time to send in the child? 3) do you bath the baby before sending to the infant care? Any pros and cons to share?
2023-08-25Thanks in advance!
2023-08-25Hi Mummies! I am first time mom my baby is 7 months old. Yesterday, I had a big fight with my husband. This is my first time I feel I should not marry him and have baby. His baby his top priority, his baby is treasure. Cant let anything happen to the baby. And for me I want to balance is out baby and him. For him, i never taking care the baby with heart and point out all the mistakes I did. He said you are the mother but no connection at all and still show the comparison when the baby look at him and me. When I realised I am bad mother and worst. My baby doesn’t like me. After that I realised i lost my partner, lover and husband. He is just a father for my baby. My heart has died. I don’t deserve to be a mother. I don’t think this is happened to any of u 😅 #advicepls

2023-08-25Hi :) Am a first time mum with scoliosis who is going to give birth really soon. I was advised by anaesthetist that there are higher risks for epidural not being effective for me or resulting in worsened back pain after birth hence she recommended for an alternative pain relief options such as laughing gas or PCA Fentanyl through IV. I’m feeling scared and worried of labour pains without epidural 😢 Any mums with scoliosis who had to choose alternative pain relief? How were your experiences like?

2023-08-26Due to the risk of salmonella infections, children under age 5 should not eat undercooked eggs. Runny yolks (meaning the yolk is not solid) may not be safe enough. This is because toddlers and babies are at greater risk for salmonella-caused illness.24 Feb 2022

2023-08-26Confinement practices say that mummies should shower with water boiled with herbs. That would be possible after I reach home and my confinement nanny will help me with it. However what is the normal practice in the hospital? After the labour, how do you mummies bathe? Use soap? Or bring herbal water to bathe? Or never bathe?
2023-08-26Torn between choices.. not sure which hospital to choose for delivery, any have recommendations / share past experience?
2023-08-26Hi Mummies, i am currently 4 month postpartum and my milk is decreasing. Any recommendation to boost my milk supply? I only manage to do powerpumping every day only at night , as in the day i have to do housechores and send my toddler to school. My 4 month old have gotten sick back to back so i didnt let her latch much as i'm afraid she will get dehydrated. But ever since then, my milk keep dropping cause i didnt let her latch or she just too tired to even latch as much. She got sick often as her brother started playground. So for now about 3 month they get sick every or two week. The stress of taking care of newborn toddler all alone as husband works. And the thought of housechore keep compiling. And i really want to breastfeed my child but my supply is very low. #pleasehelp #advicepls #tiredness
