2023-09-04Hi Mummies! Just wondering if it's too early for a csect to be done at 38 weeks? I'm just curious bcos my first pregnancy, I had to go thru emergency csect at 40 weeks as I wasn't dilating. Then for current pregnancy, I opted for csect straight - to eliminate the unnecessary like previous round. My gynae suggested at 38 weeks but I insisted on 39 weeks. However, I feel so heavy now, experiencing sharp pains at lower tummy and even mild contractions (my gynae is aware). Now on HL and idk if I can stay till 39 weeks like I chose before this. A part of me feels I'm not ready - seems too early. I'm currently at 35 weeks. Please share your thoughts. Thanks!
2023-09-04Hi mums! Would like to seek advice and recommendations for breast pumps. Currently I’m looking at Spectra vs a China brand breast pump (for cost saving). I’m a first time mum so haven’t used breast pump before. Would it be too big a risk to take if I went straight for the China breast pump? Specs are pretty good, anti-backflow, BPA-free components etc. If you’ve other recommendations please let me know too! Thank you :) #advicepls
2023-09-04What should I do? Continue feeding her or discard the milk?#advicepls #firsttimemom
2023-09-04Hi mummies, does baby or baby bump always drop nearing to your labour or edd ? Or some dont and just stay the same. Im currently 38w and carrying boy, means since start of pregnancy, been carrying low. Kind of paranoid that im only left with 2 weeks before edd and seems like my baby havent dropped yet.

2023-09-04Im a ftm, 38+1w, already started eating 5 dates/day , doing squats, going up down stairs & going for 30-40 mins walk everyday, will it help baby drop to pelvic, avoid getting overdue & shorten labor? 😅 Am paranoid that i have yet to see any signs of labor and very anxious. Scared that after doing all these baby still overdue & labor will still be long (‘: #FTM

2023-09-04Hello! Need some advice from experienced mum here on various types of breast pump. I have inherited Medela freestyle, Spectra S1, Youha and Real bubee Breast pump from friends. I only have the machine/pump and will need to get new parts. But I am unsure which one is better as there seems to be good reviews for both medela freestyle and spectra s1. I am stucked btw these two. Then for youha it’s a wearable pump Which I tot will be good once I resume work back at office. Lastly for real bubee i havent see much reviews. Abit overwhelmed too, and not sure for a start which breast pump I shld start using? I also dun wan to overbuy the new parts as they are not cheap so I tot I shld start off with buying for only one brand first.
2023-09-04Hi mummies! My LO is currently going to be 7 months old in a few days time. All this while, i’ve been her caretaker and she’s grown so attached to me. We spent 24/7 together. Work’s starting soon and today was her 1st day at school and she seems okay but i know that’s because i was there the whole day with her… i’m so nervous as i won’t be able to be there with her in ifc after this. I’m not sure how she’s gonna adapt because she does not want anyone else but either me or her dad. She’ll cry murder if she don’t see us. Anyone experience this with your LO and any tips?

2023-09-04Hi mummies i plan to stop pumping and bf, i still have frozen bm in the freezer. I’d like to stop at 1.5 months as it has affected me mentally and physically , i believe if my well being is healthy then i can take care of baby better. I have no one to help me to take care bb hence i have to do it myself most of the time. Husb wfo everyday. She is currently on mixed feeding FM and BM Question is 1. What is the best way to switch her from mixed feeding to fully FM? 2. Will she have constipation if she is full FM? 3. As i still have some milk in the freezer, isit better to give her BM once a day then give formula for rest of feeding? Am not sure if still have the benefit to give her BM once a day or better to finish the BM first before switch to FM? 4. How do it stop my own breast milk? I tried to drag the pumping session but ended up with engrossed instead😭
2023-09-05I warn my helper 2x.. and told her to put the phone on the dining table , only uses it only during her break time. But I know my 2month old LO, needs to be carried constantly, once u put him down in this bassinet, he cries. So I allow the helper to use the phone to watch movie when my baby is sleeping on her (soundly then to put baby back in his bassinet). Den recently she kept using n using taking it for granted. EG, I’m taking care of baby in the room, and she is using her phone at the living room. I dun wanna b too stern to her, as eventually after ML I’ll b back in workforce, I dun wan her to ill treat my baby. What Shld I do?

2023-09-07Hi mummies, i havent dilated @ 38week+ appointment and my gynae suggested for me to get induced 39 weeks onwards. However i told her i wanted to get induced on my edd day itself, in hoping baby will want to come out naturally. This will be my first born btw and so far baby’s condition is good and growing well with ideal normal weight. However i am beyond terrified as everyone who went thru induced have a bad experience and some ended up in csec. Which i wanted to avoid the most, Can mummies share with me your induce story and experience, so i can somehow know what to expect. Is it normal to not dilate @ 38 weeks+ and any possibility i can naturally dilate before edd ? Were you dilated before the induce, and how long was your labor? Were you able to deliver naturally or was it a failed induced. And hows the recovery if csec. Does induce higher chance for csec #FTM #advicepls
2023-09-07Is it normal that we did not get membrane sweep at 38/39 weeks ? Or not everyone will get ? Im under kkh private gynae and this will be my last appt before delivery/edd and only cervix check was done and no membrane sweep #FTM
2023-09-07Ive been doing long walks, some stairs, eating dates and doing some squats since 38 weeks but during my 38 + 4 appointment im still not dilated. Which i was disappointed i thought i couldve atleast dilated 1cm. And gynae even told me theres no scientific proof that all these will help labor. Should i just stop or continue ? #FTM
2023-09-07My GBS swab test came out positive however gynae mention it’s a light one and nothing to be done for now. Just that they will drip me antibiotic during labor itself. Anybody GBS + but delivered a healthy baby ? Altho gynae told me nothing concerning im still concerned for baby. #FTM
2023-09-07My LO is going 4 weeks in a few days. We are BF him in the day and FM at night. He’s currently drinking 90ML (LO weighs 4KG) for both types of milk. He often vomits out milk after maybe 30 mins to an hour of drinking the milk despite already burping him. Are we feeding him too much milk?

2023-09-07I’ve used the CDA card at the polyclinic’s pharmacy to get diaper creams and stuff. Was wondering if the pharmacy sells diapers/milk powder, can we also use the card since it’s within the pharmacy? The counter staff told me if baby related, can be used but I’m not sure for milk powder and diapers 😅

2023-09-07Im a ftm, my edd is approx next week. I cant help but to feel very emotional these few days. As much as I can’t wait to meet the little human that has been kicking my ribs, I definitely am going to miss myself, my me time, my personal time with husband, us doing whatever we want without worrying about anything and just going out of the house whenever i want. I feel like after birth im going to lose myself or even fall into depression due to being very overwhelmed etc. Any mummies feeling the same ☹️ #FTM
2023-09-07i think i lose some mucus plug when i was pooping. Been using quite a bit of force when pooping yest and today as im constipated. And today i saw yellow gooey discharge coming out after pooping. Its different from the usual discharge. I know mucus plug will regenerate, but do i need to see my gynae asap? No contraction or leaking fluid at the moment, but im worried. Anyone experienced early loss of mucus plug and continue to have healthy baby? I hope its not preterm labour 😞

2023-09-07Hello mummy, my 9 months old girl started to screaming and shouting whenever she want something, or she can’t get what she want. Isit normal? And she’s not very clingy to me, she doesn’t look like she needed me, isit normal too?
2023-09-08Currently in 3rd tri and baby can come out anytime as said by Doct. But dang, I'm so tired, yet I can't sleep at night. Waking up several times due to back, butt, tummy pain; sometimes even due to my husband's snores. So stressed up now too. Any ideas or tips on how to sleep better? I tried drinking tea etc but it doesn't help.
2023-09-08I am currently 38 weeks 5 days and my gynae gave me until edd before i will be induced as im not dilated nor do i have any signs. Is there any possibility during these 9 days that i might be able to actually labor naturally ? Or even dilate abit? Or high chance no. This will be my first born. Is it commong first born will be overdue ? And does being induced mostly end up in csection? #firsttimemom #firstbaby #advicepls

2023-09-08Hi fellow mummies! This is my second pregnancy and I’ve been drinking cold drinks (green tea/ cola/ sprite) every meal since T1. I even have to drink cold plain water, cus cold drinks help with my nausea. I’m worried will it affect my bb, now at 13w. Didn’t drank as much cold drinks during my first pregnancy, only occasionally. Now is everyday… how how how :(
2023-09-08Due 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

2023-09-08Hi mummies, im gg to be 39w but yet to feel any kind of contraction. what does contraction feels like. Heard that it’s like period pain but do you only feel it at your lower tummy like normal period or the whole belly? And does your tummy feel hard during contraction like during braxton hicks? Does your vagina also feel sore like during period or it only affects the tummy ? #FTM
2023-09-08Ill be delivering my newborn in a week time and organizing my side trolley for confinement. Is it better to have a big water bottle or can just use the normal ice mountain mineral bottle ?

2023-09-08Hello, I'm a working mum. Hence, my baby is left alone with my helper. I am not comfortable letting her bring my 5 months old out because of safety issues. So my baby is always at home. Also, I noticed she's not able to flip over yet, which worries me as I thought by 4 months she should be able. Does anyone encounter this, too? #pleasehelp #advicepls #firstbaby #firsttimemom
2023-09-09As a FTM, I wonder if I should let baby poop on her own or 'force' her to poop everyday? Must I take stock how many times she poop per day? How many times should baby poop per day? Feeling kinda stressed because I don't know if baby refuse to poop or there is no poop? Do you all 'force' baby to poop?#pleasehelp #advicepls #FTM
2023-09-09Ill be induced next week. Gynae briefed me that ill be given induce pill thru vagina at induction ward (4 bedded) with other mummies who will be induced. And for 2 hours i wont be allowed to eat but afterwards i can while waiting for dilation etc. afterwhich they will wheel us to our ward until if dilated to 3/4cm then push to labor room. Assuming i have yet to dilate yet, In between will hospital actually give me food or i need to bring my own food? And in my ward while waiting for dilation can i move around ? Or die die need to be on my bed. #FTM
2023-09-09Hi all, what time does ur helper wakes up, and go to bed? Lunch time an hour? How about their off days, what time do u all allow? My maid is taking care of my 2 months old LO. At night she feeds, but recently, I ask her to stop using her phone (3rd warning already).. she pisses off and I have to feed. She is on her phone when feeding, when bathing, when cooking, during her breaks, when doing hse chores… 😣 so dangerous for my LO. She hates cooking, so she always carry my LO, claiming he doesn’t wanna be put down in the cot, end up I have to order. Recently I insist she cooks no matter how late.. but then, seems like RS not so good already. mirror already cracks

2023-09-09Hi mummies! FTM here. I am currently going through the private route. However my gynae hasn't offered to take my blood test yet and I'm having my third appt on my 12th week (currently 9w now). I was only told that I will be taking the Nipt on my next appt. Is it important to take a blood test? Can I book a separate appt at a polyclinic for my blood test? Do advise. Thanks!

2023-09-09Mummies, I’m 2.5 months pp. first confinement nanny discourage me to pump/latch, which wasted my first golden week. Now I’m only pumping 15-20ml per breast. Can’t seems to increase, and kept decreasing (from 20-30ml per breast). Shld i give up? I’ve tried everything ( food, fluids, fish, soup, pumping every 3 hours etc..) I’m tired n super disappointed already. And my helper asked me “mam, why ur milk so little, I used to be overflowing” which makes me more depress 🥺🥺🥺
2023-09-09Hi mummies! Just wanted to check if it’s normal for one breast to grow a lot more than the other one in the first trimester? Right side feels a lot more firmer and bigger than the other side. Tia!
2023-09-09hi mummies, just wondering if its safe to have the aircon on at night w/ LO when sleeping— i realised whenever we have the fan on in the room, my LO ends up being sweaty throughout the night and it worries me. but im also super skeptical about having the aircon on as its been known that babies cant really regulate their temp at this age

2023-09-09I begin to have ache on lower back especially the hip area and constantly feel bloating and have very very hard poop (usually watery poop) and feel bloating and pain especially at night when I am resting. And start to feel breathless when I speak longer. I wonder if it’s normal ? Because I have this impression that 2!; trimester is a bliss but I feel this cramping and backache are worse than my first trimester.. the only good thing is , I can finish a full meal as compared to first trimester when I have no appetite. Wonder any mummies experiencing same symptoms or can you share symptoms that you are experiencing during entering 2nd trimester so I can refer to as a guide in case I start to feel them and don’t have to paranoid 😅 #advicepls #FTM #firstbaby #firstmom
