- 2023-10-30Iām a FTM at week 10. Iām experiencing occasional cramps in one side of my butt cheeks (none for abdominal, no abnormal discharge etc). Feels somewhat like having a pulled nerve.

- 2023-10-30Hi fellow mummies,
I just wanted to get some tips from you guys on sleep management and food consumption.
Right now I am 33 weeks and I keep having indigestion. The food doesnāt digest as fast as it used to and I keep having food coming up in my throat. Is there any way to help cope with this?
Also, sleeping is hard. I prefer sleeping on the right side as my baby will protest if I sleep on the left side. Is it normal? Everywhere on google recommends left side and Iāve been trying to rest on the left but itās getting harder each day.

Like randomly cry throughout the day. My emotions are at the peak.

- 2023-10-31Hi, I would like to get some advice here. My husband have been traveling and he has an upcoming trip (close to 2 weeks) to be away. We have been quarreling on this point and itās affecting our relationship as I feel unsupported in my pregnancy. Itās tough balancing being a supportive wife as itās a legit biz trip vs meeting my own needs as I am a more anxious first time mum. Currently in trimester 2z
Any advice would be appreciated!

- 2023-11-01Hi moms, my baby is 12 months 15 days. He's been sleeping in his own cot since he was 1 month but for the past 3 days, he would wake up at night and cry to sleep in our bed. And he sleeps so deep and long in our bed, didn't even wake up when his pacifier drop.
Is this regression? Will he go back to his own routine? Or is it time to get for him a new bed?
Please advise. Im a new mother
- 2023-11-01Im living with my in-laws, waiting for our house to be ready next year. Recently the aircon units broke down more frequently, its causing all of us (including me and hb) a lot of inconveniences and in laws are thinking of replacing all the old aircon which may involve repiping and more extensive works to the house. Also better for me and the baby in the future. But I was warned by others that it is a bane to do any major works to the place I stay throughout my pregnancy. I must avoid it at all cost (not just keep away from the Reno site during Reno period but if Reno, I should totally move out of the house for the rest of my pregnancy??). How serious is this?? What should I do to deal with both side of things
I feel bad for causing inconvenience to the household but I canāt ignore what I heard about the pantang for the sake of the babyā¦

- 2023-11-01Is it true that they say baby boy drinks more milk more often ?
My 6 weeks old baby boy born @ 3kg and now is 4.9kg, fully formula fed and drinking 80ml/feed. First few weeks he used to drink every 3hr then it changed to mostly every 2hrs and recently past few days its only 1.5hr bt heās already crying for milk and nothing can console him. I try to drag time by consoling him or taling to him, rock him, walk walk but nothing works, he keep crying and showing hungry cue. Like searching for nipple etc.
Should i still give him if he demand even if its only 1.5hr? Mostly during daytime. Nightime after 11/12pm he would usually cry 3-4hrs.
Im scared im overfeeding him and itll lead to health issue.
But if according to calculation weight x150ml, heās still within the range. Just that im scared of keep feeding him less than 2hrs. Since they say babies always feed 2-3hrs.
Anyone facing same thing too?
- 2023-11-01If my baby farts alot does that mean heās gassy? Does ridwind or gripe water works for gassy baby?
- 2023-11-01Hi mummies, need some help here! Looking for a suitable pregnancy insurance and baby insurance to cover the baby for life, critical illness, hospitalisation and accident. Any recommendations? What do you all buy?
- 2023-11-01Does any of mummies here their child also love to stick with the father more than mummy? My baby has been crying and fussing alot these days. I cant seem to pacify him, only my husband. When baby can even recognise my husband's voice and he can go quiet instantly. My baby also loves to be carried by my husband too. Im quite sad about this, does that mean my baby wont look for me anymore? #firstbaby #advicepls #firsttimemom
- 2023-11-01I'm currently with my private gynae. We have been with him pre-pregnancy and he has been really great and professional all this time. But recently during the 16weeks scan, his clinic shared the antenatal and doctors fees, but due to financial constraints, we've decided not to continue on with the clinic, which is quite unfortunate. For those mummies who have had to switch gynae halfway, is this a common thing where you don't follow through with the same gynae till the end? Did you also get anything for your previous gynae before the change? FTM mom here and unsure of so many things! š
- 2023-11-01Can I just wipe dry my pump after washing when Iām in the office? Or do we have to sterilize?
- 2023-11-01My LO is 8m. Suddenly, he doesnāt want to eat. Been offering him different types of food, but he rejects. Previous months when first start solids, he was okay with accepting food. Suddenly he only prefers his baby biscuits and milk.
What can I do to make him want to eat? Should I be worried at all if he doesnāt want to it? #advicepls #firsttimemom

Has any mummies done ECV at KKH? What are the cost or procedures for sub patient? Do share your experience please ā¹ļø
Was told that if during the next scan at Wk 36, if baby is still not heads down, Iāll need to do an ECV or choose C-Sect.
- 2023-11-01How many weeks after csect did you go back to your normal routine of doing house chores like mopping, vacumming etc as sometimes need to squat or bend down

- 2023-11-01Is it normal for babies to sleep while weāre holding them, but once we put them down theyll cry non stop even after patting and shuushing etc. Did put buttocks down first and put my hand on his chest once heās laid down.
Any tips to make baby still sleep when putting them down? My baby is 6 weeks old. My baby hates carrier, be it those konny type or ergobaby so we would always need to hold him by hand
- 2023-11-01Hi mummies, iāve been having white creamy discharge but not so much. Is it normal? Do you all encounter it too?
- 2023-11-01I was not fastened with seatbelt at the backseat as it was just a short distance (like a 10mins drive to reach destination). I didnāt expect to experience the shock of my life where the driver step onto e-brake and I almost hit against the front seat!
Luckily my tummy didnāt slam against anything. But I got the bad shock and my tummy has this very cramp feeling.
May I know if I should ignore it (Iām currently 14w) and monitor.. or should I go see doc just to be assured? Not sure if Iām thinking too much.

- 2023-11-02Hi mommies, does anyone experience vaginal itching especially at the vaginal lips? Currently I'm 26 weeks and I noticed an increase in vaginal discharge hence I usually wear a pantyliner and change during the day and at night I will wear a pad and sleep. But I'm also experiencing severe itching throughout the day. I'm trying my best not to scratch but sometimes it's so hard not to. I don't think I have any infection and I have recently changed to a feminine wash so the itching had reduced significantly but it's still there. How do I get rid of it?#firstbaby #firsttimemom #pleasehelp

- 2023-11-02Hi... just wanted to ask what are your thoughts of going to a concert (Eric Chou) at 24 weeks pregnant. I did ask my Gynae and her nurse told me to avoid as she's afraid of people pushing. However my seat is seated and she said the main concern is physical. Bought the very ex tickets earlier and thinking if I could just go earlier and leave earlier to avoid the crowd. Anyone has any thoughts? Much appreciated... thanks :)

- 2023-11-02Hi mummies, Iād like to get your opinions on the pros and cons of vaginal birth and c-sect for mummies who have experienced either or both. Iām currently 34 weeks and my baby is still breeched. Iāve always imagined having a vaginal birth but now my gynae seems to be mentally preparing me for a c-sect (heās not keen on ECV). Iād like to experience a vaginal delivery but now may not be possible :(

- 2023-11-02How do you deal with husbands who need constant reminding to do anything at all?
For example, you ask them to do something and you've been asking for months but it never gets done. When you remind, he constantly tries to close the topic and says he will do it, but STILL it never gets done!
Of course I'm able to do it myself but that is hardly the solution.
Is the only solution me doing everything instead of asking him? Is there any other solution? This has been the theme of our arguments and I've been telling him nicely to please not let me beg multiple times for everything. He says he will try his best but still it happens. And the worst part, when I finally reach my limit (after reminding for a gazillion times), he tries to shut me off and cannot comprehend why I am upset. Instead he starts getting angry cos I'm upset and this goes into full blown argument. It's a vicious cycle and I'm so tired of this.
I'm at my wits end. I've tried everything. Speaking nicely, reminding nicely, putting notes.. even doing the things I ask him myself, thinking that he will feel the guilt and won't repeat his behaviour. But still nothing changes! Sometimes (only sometimes) things get done after I get really really upset at him. But I don't want that to be the solution. I don't want arguments to be the solution of him finally doing things. Sigh.
If you've experienced this, what have you done that made changes in your partner's behaviour.
P/s: I'm due in a month and I'm stressed out cos there's so many things pending and he has not been helping me out, taking the stress away from me. I feel like I'm in charge of everything and my head is going to explode, otherwise nothing gets done. I genuinely want to sit back and just focus on my upcoming birth.

- 2023-11-03Hi mummies, does your baby gets very sweaty fast? Esp around back of head and neck. Even in aircon or right below ceiling fan.
Sometimes we also try not to swaddle him but in order for him to sleep peacefully he needs to be swaddled
- 2023-11-03I sought help from Rejoice Pregnancy for my breastfeeding difficulties recently. As a first time mom, naturally I requested a lactation consultation with them first before deciding to sign on any package.
However, not only did I not receive the proper support I needed (painful latching, sore nipples and milk supply), I came out of the session in tears, feeling extremely disrespected and insulted.
During the one hour of consult, the consultant made hurtful and unfriendly remarks about my readiness to be a mom, my weight/belly, and unnecessary comments about the support system I have at home. Never once did she try to observe my baby at all and how our latching experience is.
These were unhelpful and painful to hear. She also made me make an absolute decision if I wanted to breastfeed directly or do exclusive pumping - this is not true or right as plenty of moms do a combination of both.
I feel responsible to share my experience so that other moms can be aware and make an informed choice before engaging help for lactation. No other moms should be subjected to such treatment (even as a one-time customer and not a package buyer). It is dangerous and damaging to our mental well-being during such a stressful period.
I earnestly encourage all mummies to seek PROFESSIONAL and PROPERLY CERTIFIED help (eg. IBCLC) to assist you in your lactation challenges. I did engage a private IBCLC for a one-time consult and that has drastically improved my situation.
P.S. I have written a feedback directly to the company. Their response was disappointing and did not indicate specific actions they will take to rectify this.

- 2023-11-03Hi I'm due in a month.
For context, I'm separating with my husband. It has been a toxic and abusive marriage and its only gotten worse since I got pregnant. I do not want him in labour room.
I only have my in laws here. My family is overseas.
Of course having in law in the labour room is out of the question given that we are separating.
I was intending to have natural delivery (with no epidural) and initially thought my husband would be the emotional support during labour.
Now it looks like I'll be doing it alone.
Is this possible? I know kkh nurses only check dilation every 4 hours. Does that mean within that 4 hours, I'll be alone?
Another option was doula but its pricey (1.5k ++)
To mummies who delivered alone (with or without epidural), how was your experience? I just need to know whether I can do it.
P/s: my pain tolerance is terrible but I'm more afraid of epidurals side effect. I need to have natural delivery to take care of my child since I won't have any help during confinement too.

Just wanted to find out more on whatās normal and whatās a red flag that Iāve to consult my gynae- after sex thereās vaginal pain and kinda burns when peeing. Not sure if itās due to the changes in hormones or cuz thereās an infection(?) but also been feeling quite swollen below during this period but no peeing issue till after sex.
Thanks for answering in advance!

- 2023-11-04Has anyone ever got pregnant with condom on?
- 2023-11-04Did not have any breastmilk for first 4 days and baby was at risk of jaudice coz no intake. So we started giving formula milk. Now that BM has kicked in, we wanted feed baby BM together with FM (coz BM amount still very low) but baby is rejecting the BM (cries when we feed BM), so we mixed BM and FM. After an hour of feeding, baby kept crying... how to get baby to go back to BM and away from FM? Would like to exclusively feed BM after amount is huge enough to support full BF.
