2023-12-04Hi ladies, had anyone had covid while they were pregnant before? I can't stop worrying about my baby 😭
2023-12-04Hi mummies, i recently just sent my 2 month old to infant care at sparkletots. May i know usually, or atleast for your baby, what kind of activities do they usually do at the centre for smaller babies around his age when theyre awake? #firstmom
2023-12-04Hi anyone having the experience of intense hunger pangs in between meals/ middle of the night? And also tasteless sensation in the mouth? Hope it’s not something to be concerned about at this stage. Thanks!
2023-12-04This is my 2nd day sending my 9 weeks old baby to infant care and i did not know the mom guilt feeling would be soo strong. I can’t help but to cry whenever i send him off and would feel lonely at home. Altho i feel extremely tired, I can’t really rest or even nap as my mind is always thinking about my baby if he’s doing fine there is he crying alot is he attended to. My biggest fear is he’s being neglected. Especially now my baby loves to “talk” or someone talking to him, im scared the teachers will be too busy to entertain his “talkings”. Is this a normal feeling. Ive yet to start work and im scared i wont be able to function at work fully due to worrying for baby. Altho the teachers there looks very friendly.
2023-12-04Hi mummies, my baby just started IFC and im a ftm. He’s in sparkletots and they have the app whereby there’ll be updates of baby’s activities like nap, milk, shower etc. as they only state diaper change, how do i actually know when he poops and how many times a day. I would assume they also dont really “track”. Cause since birth, at home, me and husband would use an app to key in and track every pee and poop etc.
2023-12-04Hi mummies, and also malay mummies, my baby went for full shave head at 3 weeks old at at 9 weeks his top and some parts at the back already grew quite a lot of hair however some parts are still “bald” or very very little hair. Old people say is because of them always sleeping at their back, or “cukur bantal”. At around which month will it grow back and starts to even out?
2023-12-04Those using the inflatable baby chair for their baby, at which month did you let your baby sit on it ?

2023-12-04Hi hi. I'm looking for a female gynae in east area. Do you guys have any recommendations? Would like to know about your experience as well. Thank you! ##firsttimemom #pleasehelp #firstmom
2023-12-04Ever since birth, I have been trying hard to coax baby to open mouth wide to feed, but to no avail. No matter how I stroke his bottom lip or chin, he opens his mouth just a little, in an "o" shape, never as wide as when he yawns. Even when he is very hungry and cries, he knows my nipple is there and tries to latch, but he never knows to open his mouth wide to take it, so he takes very very long to try to put my nipple into his mouth but keep failing. I can't aim it in as well since he doesn't open his mouth wide. Most of the time he gets too frustrated with trying so I have to push my nipple in with my finger instead. Outside of breastfeeding, whenever I try to clean his mouth or give him his bottle or pacifier, I also try to make his mouth open, but he never does, and end up I have to push the bottle or pacifier teat in also. Any idea how to make my baby to learn to open his mouth wide? #advicepls
2023-12-04Unlike conventional nipple pads, these silicone nipple pads are non-absorbent in order to preserve as much breast milk as possible. https://shope.ee/AKA6MTwtxY
2023-12-04Hello mommies! May I know how do you all keep your ultrasound photos to make it last longer? #firstmom #FTM
2023-12-04Is it normal to breakdown suddenly during pregnancy? Or am I having depression? I'm having my 1st baby and I'm week 22 now. 1st trim more of worrying the wellbeing and health of baby. Now I'm just easily triggered and breakdown to tears.#firsttimemom #Emotional
2023-12-04Hi, may i know when is your child have fever after the mmr jab and how long it last?
2023-12-04Is it normal for babies to be left alone to play by themselves at infant care ? Ive always thought the teachers will play or talk to them but i picked up my 2 months old and he was placed at a corner on a mat, with toys at the side(which he dont look interested in) and my heart sank to the very most bottom. He must’ve felt lonely. I know sometimes baby needs to play independently what if he’s always playing alone the whole day 😣 and he’s the youngest in the centre
2023-12-04Any mummies colour/dye their hair near to their edd? So far so good? 😅 I’m have premature white hair and has been trying to abstain hair colouring for past 7 months 😂…
2023-12-04How do I track my second pregnancy in this app without removing the info of my first pregnancy?
2023-12-04When do we know if baby is ready for solids? My son just turned 6 months but yet to crawl or sit
2023-12-04Hello mommies! Any recommendations for comfortable flats or pumps that are suitable for office?
2023-12-04My baby is at that phase whereby he sometimes can finish his milk, sometimes will drink halfway and reject. He rejects playfully like smilling, spitting out milk, playing with his tongue, and mostly wants to “talk”. He’s 10 weeks, drinking 90-120ml 2-3 hrs. We have tried burping him etc then let him drink the remaining bt still reject playfully. And yes before we gave him milk he will cry and show hunger cue, like really hungry. Because of drinking only halfway, he tend to get hungry by the next hour or hour and a half. For this case, do i make a new milk, remaining ml, like 60ml, or do i feel the normal intake (90-120ml)? #firsttimemom
2023-12-04My toddler has food stains from her uniform and since it is white top, the stain doesnt go away easily.

2023-12-04Top was taken at 36 weeks and bottom was taken at 39 weeks. So it's a 3 weeks difference baby bump shot. I feel like it grew too much. Last scan baby weighing 2990g at 36 weeks. I'll be due in 5 days and I have no idea how much baby weigh now. With this much difference in size, does it mean baby grew bigger too?
2023-12-04My 5 month baby usually only have 1 feeding in midnight, but yesterday suddenly she woke us up the 2nd time and we tried to coax her to sleep but to no avail. Thus, we have to feed her (we were advised by PD not to feed her due to her overweightness). She slept after her 2nd feed. May I know if this is a phase ? Possible considerations: (1) In the morning, her IFC teacher fed her 2 hrs apart instead of 3 he because she cried non stop and they thought she was hungry. (2) Back home, I decreased her night feed to 120ml instead of 130ml. Can anyone advise me on why my LO suddenly wakes up for 2nd feeding? 😅 #advicepls #pleasehelp #firsttimemom
2023-12-05Do any mummies only use diaper cream when baby has diaper rash or redness, else they dont use it ? My baby’s teacher told me they only use when baby has redness or rash. If not, they wont use as they dont want to use too much things on baby’s delicate skin.
2023-12-05So my baby, will pooped on everything he drink or ate, so basically pooped more then 4times a day. Is there anything to worry? He dont before i introduced the new foods. Pooped is creamy and baby is normal and active.
2023-12-05Hello! FTM here. Currently staying with my husband's great grandma and she always have the TV on and can watch the whole day. She loves to carry our newborn (currently around 1 month plus) and also watch TV at the same time but she will always lower down the volume or watch it without volume so as not to disturb baby. However I m still worried about the glaring screen from TV. Is it okay? I do not want screen time at all for the baby actually but as we are staying with her and place is small, it's unavoidable or not possible to not let her watch TV. Also, my husband sometimes will put baby on chest (she loves it when there is pressure on tummy) - but he will tend to clear work emails or use phone while having baby on chest. Is it okay too?
2023-12-05My baby woke up this morning to this. His cheek suddenly appeared red rough patches. Is that rashes or eczema? #firsttimemom #firstmom #FTM #babyexpress
2023-12-05Baby is on pure formula now, about 2 mths old, and had to put in effort to push, poop was hard and had a bit of diluted blood stain kind, but afterwards it was the usual pastey kind. Is this normal? Is this dehydration or formula constipation.. what should i do?
2023-12-05hi mummies can i check if this is normal? sorry for the gross photo, FTM here

2023-12-05Is Dasani drinking water in Singapore safe for pregnant?
2023-12-05Does kkh allow video recording of the ultrasound and heartbeat ?
2023-12-05I'm a newly pregnant mother and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the multitude of choices available for prenatal care in Singapore, especially since I haven't settled on a gynecologist yet. Cost is certainly a significant consideration for me, but I also strongly prefer a natural birth over a C-section. Additionally, I'm hoping for a bit more support from the hospital staff in terms of guidance for taking care of my child and the necessary check-ups. I've noticed some discussions around the claim process and paperwork involved in public hospitals. Can anyone shed light on how extensive this paperwork might be? Presently, I find myself torn between SGH or KK for public hospital options and Mount E or Thomson Medical for private care. Has anyone had positive or negative experiences they'd be willing to share about these hospitals? Moreover, I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations for gynecologists who align with preferences for natural births and offer supportive care. #HospitalReview #naturalbirth #gynaerecommendation
2023-12-05Having baby girl For pantang reason, some say for baby boy must be actual day..? So wondering! #firsttimemom
2023-12-05I really need advice badly. Last night I just gave birth to my boy when he is only 24 weeks 6days. The most important thing is tat I gave birth in a very backdate county - Uzbekistan... an unfamiliar county when I went on holiday (gave birth because of some condition unexpectedly). Down here I can't get whatever I need, but can please advise me on wat food I can eat to boost breast milk for my baby? Today it dont seem to have milk coming out and I'm very worried. In hospital here they don't serve much. Hubby planning to get me out to a better place to prepare myself for our boy. And I'm already emotionally and mentally breakdown. Environment like in 90s and oso have communication problems. I really need help. #pleasehelp #advicepls #firstmom #firsttimemom
2023-12-05Hi, I’m 5 weeks post partum and today just felt a bit crampy at my uterus area and have some bleeding again. The past few days was just light brown. Is it my period or still post partum bleeding?
2023-12-05Hi everyone, I am 7 weeks along and just last week I started noticing my discharge turning darker. I panicked and went in to see my gynea multiple times to check, as the discharge continued to turn darker. After 3 days of monitoring, my gynea administered me 100mg of progesterone injection and duphaston to be taken orally twice a day. 2 days after the injection I started noticing the bleeding worsen much more and accompanied by bad cramps and worsening pregnancy symptoms (gas, bloating, breast pain, fatigue). Went in to check this morning, our little one is still doing fine but the cramp and bleeding still continue. I am very worried and wanted to check if anyone had similar experience that eventually turned out positive. Not sure when the bleeding and pain would stop but hoping for a prayers and support right now ❤️

2023-12-05• Baby fetus at 28w2d We were told today that our baby fetus size is small. As of today after our Antenatal check-up, our baby is approximate 930g. According to the doctor (not OBGYN Specialist), the size of our baby fetus should be approximate 1.1kg ideally. We were advised that this growth could be because: - Baby naturally small (Genes/Parents) - Baby might be diagnose with down sydrome - Mother dietary After hearing from the doctor, I did a self research and find out that the ideal size for our baby fetus is not 1.1kg but 1kg. I know it's differences is only by 100g but 1kg is alot closer to 930g than 1.1kg. Can anyone here enlighten me? We are both trying to not be totally affected by the doctor's advice. The doctor could be right, but the the doctor could also be wrong. The tolerance of an accurate ultrasound proven to be in a window of 2-4weeks. #advicepls
2023-12-05Hello. I just gave birth 5 days ago and am producing colostrum now. I read online that newborn only needs about 1 teaspoon of colostrum? My son refuses to latch now so I am pumping out for him. Do we feed him as per normal like 50ml of colostrum per feed? Just like if I latch him he will feed until he’s full.

2023-12-06Hi, im a ftm, my baby is in Infant care centre. We have applied for subsidy and it was successful. Aside from the $600 working mum subsidy, I also got an “Enhanced subsidy” of $300+ As im not sure how the calculation usually works, correct me if im wrong. Means upcoming months i would need to pay the full program fee - $600 subsidy - enhanced subsidy? I know I can ask the centre bt would also want to know from mummies.

2023-12-06Hi mommies. Any mommy giving birth from TMC? Do you all still remember TMC lactation cookies size? How many gram was it? Thanks.
2023-12-06Has anyone has similar experience? My baby is close to 2 mths old and currently refused to sleep in her cot. She needs to be carried/rock to sleep. When we tried to put her back to cot, she will wake up around 5-10 mins later,the max half an hr. We had no choice but to let her sleep in those infant lounger). She has been fighting sleep so strongly despite being so tired. We also tried to keep her awake during feeding but she will end up falling asleep in our arms. When we removed the bottle after she finished her feed, she will start to scream. We’re thinking that she still wants to suck? Maybe coz comfort sucking? Nowadays notice that she likes to keep sticking her tongue out like it’s nv enough. Is this a normal phase at this stage? Really don’t want to go thru the CIO method because couldn’t bear to see her scream till that extent!! Is this a stage that eventually will pass?
2023-12-06Im 37, having my 2nd baby after trying for a year due to my menses did not recover regularly after 1st baby. Do i need to go through all those tests required when u r having your first baby after 35?

2023-12-06Hi mummies, my daughter having high fever and it fluctuates for a span of 2 days. And sway enough when I want to bring her to the clinic they are closed especially those nearby. She is having 38-39 degrees fever. Is there any remedies or suggestion to bring her fever down? What should I do? Please help me!
2023-12-06The day before, we were told that our baby is too small; 930g at 28w2d. The doctor said that there could be many reasons. - Baby naturally small - Baby showing down syndrome symptoms - Mother dietary Today, we had an appointment with our gynae specialist. But before that, my wife took her BP and urine test. Her blood pressure is normal. We were called by our gynae specialist and was informed that there is an excessive protein in my wife's urine test. The specialist advised us to do a urine lab test to further investigate the matter. She also mention that this could be a life threatening issue for the mother. So we agreed to proceed for the urine lab test. So now, my wife is extremely worried of the test result next week and she is in no condition mentally to stay strong. My heart hurts so badly to see my wife all weak and constantly crying. She kept thinking what if she dies. I don't know what to do other than comforting her over and over and submit everything to Allah. I see in Asianparent app that there are also plenty of mothers here having this same issue with their urine. Is it a common thing to have excessive protein in the urine and what can we do? #urine #protein #test
2023-12-06Hi mummies… I just got a call from KKH saying that my FTS result are not low and not high. Idk what’s that means?

Need some advices to clear doubts 🙏🏻#pleasehelp #advicepls
2023-12-06FTM here ~ just wondering anyone staying with family members (be it from husband side or your side) and their comments / questions irks you? LO currently 1 month old plus. I’m currently staying with husband grandmother (LO great grandma). Most of the days in laws will come n help out too. Very very grateful n feel fortunate to have some help. But I just dun know why - when LO makes any noise, husband grandma will shake LO and tell her not to be angry, or that when LO fidgets a little, she will immediately carry her. I repeatedly told her to leave LO be unless she cries, as it’s their form of communication/they may be in light sleep mode and it’s normal but grandma keeps forgetting (due to old age also). I feel bad also if I keep complaining about how the older generation handle. I can’t wait for our BTO to arrive which is 2 more years, but I dun feel like staying at home due to such situation.. I will always find reason to bring LO out for a while to be away from home..
2023-12-06I just tested positive for covid and i had been carrying and sleeping with my 2 month old baby every day. Will my baby get Covid from me? Im very worried because he is not covid vaccinated. And i do not have a spare room for me to isolate myself so my husband suggested to continue to slp in same room w baby but i sleep a distance away from baby and him. And maybe with windows open. Will get reduce the risk of contracted covid? #pleasehelp #firstmom #babyexpress Im a ftm, i am very worried 😔 i need advice from mommy that has went thru the same situation as me. TIA

2023-12-06Just FYI, I am his mom. I breast feed him at night and bottle feed him in the day time. I change his diapers, play with him, do development with him and put him to sleep. But I want to be like other moms and rock my baby to sleep, carry my baby and talk to him etc. But everytime I carry him, or try to, he screams murder and struggle like mad. I have no choice but to put him down and he will stop screaming but continue crying. Someone has to take over to calm him down. I try every possible way of carrying him to no avail. The only way possible for me to calm him is to put him to my breast - breastfeed him. Everyone else has no issues carrying him - his grandma, grandpa, dad, even a stranger - only me. This makes me very sad. He doesn't even smile much or talk with me. Everytime I try to talk to him he stares at me blankly. His dad walks past and he saw him and he starts smiling and babbling. His grandma and grandpa too. Only me. I feel like my baby hates me.
2023-12-06Hello mummies, giving birth at KKH. Do they provide pads or do we bring our own? Also what are the necessities to bring/put in hosp bag? Also is a disposable breast pad necessary or will they provide? Saw some articles but feel like its too much of a list to bring. Ftm seeking for assistance. thank you!
2023-12-06Hi, I missed my menses. I wasn't feeling well, had a very backache, migrane & tend to get hungry every other hours which I don't usually for the past weeks. I took a panadol due to the migrane yesterday. Today , I decide to go for a pregnancy check up & just when I was abt to do my urine test, realise that I'm bleeding. So I guess, my menses came. When home & ate another panadol & menses cramp pill and realised there is a blood clot that look like a tissue layer about finger size which is unusual for me. I wonder if it's a miscarriage or just a blood clot. Anyone experience this before?
2023-12-06Is it normal that I don't feel or crave any intimacy during pregnancy at week 22. I am totally okay without intimacy however I feel bad towards my spouse.
2023-12-06Hey, mummies. Can any of you who have experienced the membrane sweep share how it went? I’m going for mine at 39 weeks in a few days time and am very nervous & anxious about it 😔
2023-12-06Hi mommies , I’m concern about my weight gain . I have gain 18kg throughout my pregnancy. However, thankfully I have no Diabetes . I’m at 37weeks now , is it normal to gain this much ? Will I be able to lose it after giving birth.
2023-12-06Hi hi I’m always having bloated feeling after every meal, any counter measures that be of good help will be appreciated 🙏
2023-12-06Hi mummies, other than feeding milk to baby every day ,may I know how often /how many times per day should I feed baby solid food like purée etc? And feed how much ? Thanks #advicepls
2023-12-07Hi mummies, how many months in advanced do we need to apply interest for playgroup thru ecda ? Preferably MyFirstSkool, Sparkletots, etc the non private ones
2023-12-07Hi mummies, im a first time mum. My baby is currently in sparkletot IFC. Will my baby be auto continuing the playgroup at his centre or i need to apply ecda again for playgroup centres?
2023-12-07I’m pissed and annoyed at OBGYN comments today. Immediately she brought up induction and over exaggerated (IMO) baby to be 4kg by full term? I’ve already done induction for first child because I didn’t know much and it was a failure at KKH because they didn’t let me move or stretch to help with the mild contractions. My contractions went away and I lied down for almost 8 hours???? Obviously no progress lah even after breaking my water bag manually. That’s KKH for you. Tie you down like prisoner. Want to go toilet also don’t allow. So now I’m trying NUH for VBAC and I hear the word induction again. Wah, I’m fuming and disappointed! My husband and I are both tall. My first baby is 3.6kg at 39 weeks.
2023-12-07My #1 born out 1 month early. Now I'm pregnant for the 2nd. I'm not sure if it will affect the baby. Since my weight dropped to 32kg. I'm worried about it and also unsure about keeping pregnancy or abortion. As my partner is violence and our #1 is not with us since birth. I'm thinking of going a separate way. I don't have family to support me or anything. It's really hard to keep this pregnancy.
2023-12-07My son is turning 15 months on 14/12/23 but he still has no teeth & i am worried. Any mommies experienced the same thing ? Any advises ? :/

2023-12-07Hi mummies, when you’re out with your baby till night, assuming they usually shower around 6-7pm, do you still shower them when you’re back? Even it it’s around 9/10pm. I’m scared itll be too cold for him, even if it’s a warm bath. I always have a dilemma whether to shower my baby (9 weeks old) or not when we’re back home late and by the time he’s already sound asleep. And once he’s asleep at night, he would usually sleep quite a long stretch of at least 4/5 hours or even 8hrs. Do i wake him up for a shower/wipe down when we’re back home? Or leave him to sleep. We do shower him every morning or afternoon. No hate comments about hygiene pls, as im a ftm im still figuring out how all these works.
2023-12-07Hi working mummies that send their baby to infant care, if you’re sending or fetching them alone and taking public transport and not using strollers, what kind of bag do you use for you work? As you need to carry baby in carrier or by hand, carry his diaper bag and also your own work bag. My maternity leave is ending soon and im still figuring out how to go about this. I wont be using stroller as it’s a hassle especially when im alone and need to rush.
2023-12-07Can I ask which month does baby start to grow teeth?Is there any recommendations on which oral gel to relieve the discomfort. Thank you:)
2023-12-07Hi mummies! Those who had all day sickness during first trimester how do yall managed drinking and eating? I feel nauseous when I’m hungry but I’m also nauseous when I’m eating.. drinking water is very hard for me as I feel nauseous drinking it! Any advice? 😖
2023-12-07My baby is 10-11 weeks old. She has always been drinking well on bottle since birth. She’s currently drinking 120mls every 3 hourly, is peeing and pooping well. However, since last week, only in the afternoon, she has been crying a lot during feeding. She will cry and refuse to drink. At first we thought she is unwell but so far she doesn’t have any ill symptoms. Then we thought maybe the SS teat flow is too slow so we changed her teat to S. Then we thought maybe she has gas pains and we tried burping her whenever she cries before continuing. But she still fuss during feeding and needs to be coaxed multiple times in between feeds. Anyone knows what’s the issue? Is it a growth spurt? Or is she having some discomfort that needs to be checked? #firsttimemom
2023-12-07what is your fetus weight @ 37-38 weeks? mine remained the same from ~36 weeks. isit normal?
2023-12-07My baby is 5 months old. I noticed that she drinks less milk now. The last time she used to drink 2-3 hrs 100-120 mls but now she can go stretch to 4 hrs with just 50 mls milk. I noticed she is losing weight too. No more buns shape on the hands or legs :( But besides that she is well. She is active, growing with the right milestones and she is even sleep more now. Any other mothers face the same thing? Or should i bring her to see the doctor? Btw she is on mixed feeding. Recently i even changed her milk powder brand. #firsttimemom #firstmom #worriedmom

2023-12-07Hi mummies, wanted to find out what are the chances of my next child having eczema as my first child has it.

2023-12-07Hey I’m 32 weeks and just got tested for Covid. I have mild symptoms like sore throat and flu. No fever yet. Is it dangerous? Are there risks 🥹 Has anyone got Covid while pregnant?? #ftm
2023-12-07Would like to hear from anyone who has helpers… how do you navigate having a stranger at home? I recently hired a Myanmar helper and with communication difficulties, it’s hard to explain to her about personal space and privacy. She seems to not understand the concept. I’m really bothered to share my space with a stranger. For example, when I’m in the living room and she finishes her work in the afternoon, she would sit next to me on the sofa or on our armchair and stare in space or stare at me and baby. I find it super uncomfortable and also bothered that she chose to sit on our armchair. Yet there is a dilemma that I’m mistreating her if I tell her she can only sit on the floor or in the kitchen. I tried telling her I enjoy my personal space but she doesn’t seem to understand. If I can, I wouldn’t want a helper but circumstances called for it. I’m struggling to adjust and would like to hear from other young mums who hire a helper for the first time. How do you adjust to having a stranger at home and how do set such boundaries with your helper?

2023-12-08Hi mummies! Have you travelled overseas at 7 months pregnant? I want to go on a baby moon in late January, but my gynae can only give me an answer during my next appt in early January.

Thanks for your answers mummies!

2023-12-08Is it normal for 2 months old to constantly shake head from side to side when sleepy or wants to sleep? And eventually falls asleep. Are they self soothing
2023-12-08Hi mommies, I’m currently pregnant with my first, going 14 weeks soon. I already started feeling heavy like carrying weight infront and starting to get leg pains after a short walk. I’m an average built woman and sometimes find myself walking like a penguin liao when my legs starts hurting. Is this normal? I also have an obvious bump now, when does a baby bump supposedly become obvious? I’m thinking it’s too early to have an obvious bump and feeling heavy now. My husband is foreign, could it be my baby is bigger than Asian baby size or? Do share when your baby bump start showing and when you start feeling heavy? I hope my baby is not too big for me to handle.

2023-12-09My wife's doctor in Malaysia made their calculations of my wife's first (LMP) and with the first baby scan, they come out with our baby's EDD to be on the 25th Febuary 2024. In week 21, we made our first detailed scan at a private clinic (Sonobee Kota Malacca). There isn't a Antenatal scan provided for a government subsidy in Malaysia. Totally fine with it. So turns out that after doing measurements of our baby, the calculations on the ultrasound by the private clinic (Sonobee Kota Malacca) sets that the baby's EDD is on the 2nd March 2024. ------------------------------------------------------------------- - The baby is very well, no early signs of down syndrome symptoms, the growth of our baby is on a smaller scale just a shy below average according to the doctor which is totally fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------- So back to it, week 27, we then handed over our details to Singapore KKH from Malaysia because we want our baby to be born in Singapore. We made this decision earlier during the pregnancy. We only took the medical advantage in Malaysia as it is free because my wife is a Malaysian. So the first Antenatal scan(Growth scan) in Singapore KKH was at week 28. After the scan, the doctor/counsellor told us that our baby appeared smaller than average. They told us that our baby weights at 930g when it supposed to be 1.1kg by now. So much negative feedbacks from the doctor and we were totally down about it. I was very unhappy with the way the doctor in Singapore who did the scan. She seems very rushed and the scan she did was half heartedly. So we decided to opt out for another scan. We did it in a private clinic(Sonobee Bukit Indah) in Malaysia. At first, we start questioning ourselves that maybe because we got many negative feedbacks from the doctor that we act up and get all frustrated by everything. We start to doubting our doctor's advice like we know everything. We then did research and play doctors ourselves and get all worked up about everything. It was very stressful. After the scan in the private clinic(Sonobee Bukit Indah) the doctors said that there is nothing to worry. The baby is in great shape. Matters in fact, the ultrasound calculated our baby weights at 1.12kg whereas just 3 days ago, the Antenatal scan done in Singapore KKH weights our baby to be 930g. WHAT A BIG GAP! So we starts explaining to the doctor at the private clinic that we doubting our scan in Singapore KKH and this and that and turns out the doctor said that there are doctors who is a doctor but majored in other part of science. In the private clinic(Sonobee Bukit Indah), the doctor specialist in Sonogram. She told us that many doctors in government sectors always neglect to measure the phantom bone. Turns out that our baby EDD here also set at 2nd March 2024. Now which is accurate? The private clinic doctor(Sonobee Bukit Indah) said that the most accurate scan is the detailed scan made in week 21. Our Specialist in KKH said that scans done privately is invalid. #EDD ##firsttimemom ##advicepls - I personally recommend all Singaporeans to do an Anternatal Detailed scan with any Sonobee outlet in Malaysia. The one in Bukit Indah had a doctor that specialist in Sonogram. She is small and petite looking but her understanding in sonogram and the way she explains is top notch very detailed. Did not get her name tho.
