2023-02-06My baby used to poo frequently while he was a newborn being fed breastmilk and formula milk. After about 1month plus, I switched completely to formula milk. He is now going 3months old, I notice his poo comes once every 2-5 days and it is ALWAYS watery. It is always so difficult to clean up! Is this normal? I've used up so many wet wipes, tissue paper, cotton etc. #firsttimemom
2023-02-06Hi, I started having left sided backpain on my hips or buttock area and when I walk I can feel the sharp pain all the way down my left leg. Been having this for almost a week. Every step I walk makes me cringe in pain 😭
2023-02-06Hi, I'm at week 9-10. And I know I'm supposed to be eating healthily. I try but sometimes I end up with McDonald's, burger, pastas or eating fried food. Not everyday but pretty often. Like twice to thrice a week? It's crazy that my appetite is so monstrous. When i catch myself eating unhealthily, I try to make up by eating some fruits and drinking alot of water. I'm just worried this will affect my baby's health. I know this diet is not the best and not advisable. But Is this okay? Will my baby be OK?

2023-02-06Hello mummies! I’m currently at 6W2D, and realised this morning that I have some brownish discharge with small reddish clots - wondering if this is normal? A little worried/ paranoid as this is my first pregnancy, and also particularly concerned as I’m considered obese and I’m not sure if it will cause additional risks :( Am scheduled to go for my first appointment at KKH in 2 days. Would it be safe to wait till then to inform the gynae, or should I see a doctor now? Appreciate any advice. Thank you everyone!

2023-02-07My 3.5months suddenly rejecting milk bottle after turning 100 days old. I've tried changing bottle, teats, different feeding positions, basically all the home remedies but still unable to fix the situation. She will cry murder whenever we offer her a bottle. It will take a long time to coax her until she's comfortable to drink it. However, no issues when she latch on to me. I'm a low supply mom so will definitely need to supplement her with formula. Anyone experiencing the same thing?

2023-02-07Went for my KKH appt yesterday. Based on LMP I’m coming 8 weeks but KKH say I’m at 5 weeks. Able to see heartbeat during the ultrasound too. Spotted another baby(?) below the one with heartbeat but doc say there’s no heartbeat yet and can only confirm if it’s twin pregnancy or a shadow/light reflection. Feeling really puzzled…..#advicepls

2023-02-08Hi all, I had my first child via normal delivery with forceps more than 10 years ago, but until today, I am still afraid of the pain/process.

2023-02-09My 6 month baby is having fever since last Friday and to add on she’s having cough and flu few days later as well. Went to KKH on Tues as it’s been 5 days to check further and there’s no infection or whatsoever. Dr said that it’s just a viral fever and will go away after a week plus. So I’ve been monitoring and giving her meds on time. Is this normal? It’s day 7 now, she’s still having fever up and down. #firsttimemom

2023-02-09Ever since I found out that I’m pregnant, the thought of leaving my job to be a full-time mom keeps popping up. My job is very demanding and stressful in nature and I cannot imagine juggling both the baby and my career at this moment. The current plan is to hire a helper to take care of the baby but the idea of being a full time mummy is very appealing at this point but also would make me feel guilty of not being able to contribute financially to the family. It has been challenging for me to even make myself to bring this topic up seriously with my husband as I’m afraid it would add to his stress…

2023-02-09This is gonna be SUPER GROSS, sorry in advance. I’ve been pooping every 3-5 days recently (usually it’s every 2nd day) and the poops are huge 😭😭😭 it’s been such a struggle for me. Ive never had to spend more than 5 min pooping before but recently, I easily spend at least 20min. I’ve tried eating more fibre and drinking more, eating more fruits. I don’t think it has helped so far. I’ve been advised to take Moringa and/or magnesium supplements. Has anyone experienced this before and what helped?

2023-02-09Monster in law or not - RANT!!! When my husband and I 32(F) were first house hunting before living together, my MIL self-entitled on an opinion in our financial matters, telling us on what budget we should stick to for our house, and even commenting that our house was hefty-priced and advised aginst buying it. Whenever me and husband had any conflicts on the financing of the home over video calls (e.g. purchase of household items), MIL would input her opinions to husband that I was a reckless spender and even shared these opinions with her boyfriend (part time handy-man)privately. I later found out about this one day when husband called the boyfriend to come over our home to fix our television. Husband and I had a huge quarrel over this because he kept quiet about it and continued to defend MIL and even told me that he felt the same way. Mind you, I was the sole breadwinner and all the purchases were made with money I earned. Throughout, husband had no savings and and was even very poor with managing his finances. He did not even have the means to support me financially during my pregnancy later and MIL was fully aware of it. MIL, whom herself was financially unstable due to debts incurred did not seem to have any self awareness or even any humility to speak of. When I was 3 months pregnant, MIL volunteered to help out with the confinement, stating her reasons for it - cost saving on our behalf, not needing to entrust our baby to a stranger. At first, I had reservations on this arrangement, thinking back on all the unpleasant exchanges previously, that would mean living with her together in my home. However, I finally accepted on my brother's advice, which he reasoned that i should respect MIL intentions to help take care of her very first grandchild, which of old traditions was an important event. Months down the road during the pregnancy, I felt that it would be good to hire a helper, as it wasn't a long term solution for MIL to have to take care of my baby since she was working full time, so did both husband and me as well. On the other hand, the helper could also aid MIL during the confinement period. Apparently, MIL was not too pleased with this from various interactions with her. More about that later. I was then heavily pregnant and it was getting more difficult to move around. The closest I could get was joining hubs for running of errands and meals. When we finally paid a short visit to my in-laws home before giving birth, MIL lamented on why it took so long for us to finally pay them a visit. I was puzzled with her question, did you not go through pregnancy before? Do you not know the difficulties of being pregnant, especially so when you are at the later stage? Unfazed by her remark, I politely told her that my helper was coming in soon, and asked if she could come to live in my home a month early from my EDD, so she could also help out with training of my helper on the household chores. She agreed and told us that it was not an issue at all, since she has informed her employer beforehand of this plan. 2 weeks before my EDD, hubs gave MIL a call and asked if she needed help with the necessary (groceries shopping, packing of her necessities for the live-in). MIL told us that she felt it was pointless to come in this early, since there was nothing much to do and the baby was not out. Then husband told her that I was already heavily pregnant and it could be likely for the baby to be out anytime soon and it could be earlier than the EDD. Moreover, we were nearing the Chinese Ghost Festival, which it was traditional belief to not do any moving of belongings etc. She told my husband that she was Christian and these Chinese beliefs are not of her religion. Funny thing was, she believed in Chinese Fengshui which was widely practiced by most who are non Christians. When my baby was finally born, she even told me that she went to the temple to pray for the infant to be safe and sound. Contradicting much? Subsequently, after a long deliberation, she agreed to come by a week before the EDD. After a 17 hour long labour on the EDD, it was to our great surprise that MIL went out to meet her boyfriend without informing anyone. The helper was left alone at home, despite us conveying to MIL, that it was only the helper's first month with us and the trust was not built yet for the helper to be even left alone, unsupervised. Husband only found out about this when he went home to collect some of my belongings for the hospital stay, and even had to call MIL up to find out about her whereabouts. Throughout the entire confinement which lasted about 1&1/2 months, MIL often refused to entrust our baby to the helper or even to train the helper with the baby duties despite me and hubs telling her that we needed the helper with the baby sitting duties once we return to work. She even sat us down to tell us that a stranger can never be trusted. Obviously, both hubs and I knew that. We even told her that we would have the helper and our baby placed at my mum's place (mum is a housewife) on days which both of us had to work, and night time baby sitting was supervised with a baby camera. But MIL was very stubborn and all seemed to fall on deaf ears. Overall, the confinement period did not strengthen the relationship between myself and MIL and I really wished that I didn't agree at the very start when she initiated to do the confinement. It nearly cost the relationship between me and hubs, who constantly defended his mum when I voiced out my unhappiness on how things were done at times. Even though the entire arrangement was made in the name of saving cost for hiring a confinement lady, we didn't save much because both of us decided to remunerate MIL with what would have been paid to a CL, given her financial circumstances.

2023-02-10Mother told me due to tradition better dont go.
2023-02-101. How often do u all do 7 pricks a day? Understand that the requirement is 2x a week, but is 2x a week result sufficient to access how good or bad your GD is? 2. To achieve a so called " ideal" result for Gynae and dietician to see, do you all actually do any trial and error for the outside food and actually record it down if the reading is real bad? Some background: I don't cook at home, my lunch and weekend food are outside food. Only weekday dinner my mum cooks for me, hence reading is better than other meals since its homecook. But, whenever I eat outside my reading fluctuates, I recorded those bad reading down and feel so demoralised. Honestly, sometimes it's so hard to know which outside food is OK and what is not OK, but I did a trial and error but whenever reading is bad , I recorded it down and feel unmotivated. Can't actually have the ideal result for Gynae to check. 3. On those day that you are not testing, do you have cheat meals?
2023-02-10Mummies who have been thru this or currently going through this…. I’ve been feeling nauseous whole day and vomited gastric juice even tho I’ve eaten. I’m still eating well.

2023-02-10I'm ftm turning 42 this year. I did nipt and scan at week 13. The nipt scan results was fine with low risk in down syndrome. However the nt scan is very bad at 7.6mm and doctor said this could indicate risk of other chromosomal or genetic abnormalities or even heart defect. She doesn't do amniocentesis and recommended me to go to another doctor for amniocentesis. Anyone has similar experience to share?

2023-02-11My baby is only 2 months old and i am not able to produce enough milk for my baby. I can’t even pump out 3ml :( It all started when i was ill when baby turned 1 month. Super ill had to take medication. simultaneously taking fenugreek to help with breastmilk. But later found out that fenugreek is not helping me to increase, instead reducing milk flow. That’s when i googled and realized fenugreek does not work for all and i am one of them. I tried power pumping for 3 days and still the same, I could only get few drops the entire day. Any tips? Can i still continue breastfeeding? Please help a desperate mom 😭😭😭

2023-02-11How do I make my 1 month plus baby to sleep right after his feeding through the night, instead of having him awake for long hours within 2-7am (depends) although I’ve tried helping him back to sleep after each feeding and not being interactive as much. What am I doing wrong in the day that he is super duper awake at night (not fussy though). Should I set a sleep routine or something for the baby? More playtime in the day? HALP 🥲
