2024-01-22Husband cheated 8 years ago. Till this day there will be days where whatever he does or say will remind me of the past and i will start getting flashbacks.

Any mummies has this experience with their babies? Any other good methods u can advise to get my baby to drink water?
2024-01-22Any mummy feeling low stamina? Contractions frequent too. Walking so slowly already. My bb last check was 2.4kg. Any mummy had their EDD earlier than expected when they are this tired? 😅 Still struggling to bus and train to work. With carpal tunnel problem as well. Ive seen friends who are less tired as me at my week. Not sure why I so weak… 🥹
2024-01-22I took a clear blue digital test and it stated 2-3 weeks pregnant. I calculated from my last menses day 1, it’s week 5. When should I go to see a gynae? I’m afraid if I go too early, I can’t see anything.
2024-01-22Is there a telegram group chat for mommies delivering in June 2024? #firsttimemom
2024-01-22Week 9 and im starting to gag on my prenatal supplements which are in capsule form. Haven't been able to swallow them for 2 days. Anyone feeling the same? I've heard of chewable prenatal supplements. Does anyone have any advice? Worried that baby will not get enough nutrients :(
2024-01-22Is there any first time mummies who tried so hard to get pregnant and when you finally do, you feel so depressed, so scared that baby is going to be born unhealthy as I am obese. I am also facing rather bad morning sickness and just got diagnosed with high blood pressure at only week 8 of pregnancy, mood swings are really bad. I feel guilty for feeling like this and I don’t know how to continue on with the pregnancy #advicemommies #firsttimemom
2024-01-22Anyone feeling generally unwell during early pregnancy? Feeling cold, headaches, extremely fatigue? My 1st pregnancy was far from this. Is this normal? My gynae appointment is still a few weeks away. TIA
2024-01-22I’m a little sad that my supply has been constantly @ 30ml on average for each side despite trying out legendary supplements. On very very rare days, 1 side could yield 60ml, on very bad days, it may only come up to 10ml or less. I’ve been hydrating myself, but I’m not too sure what else I could do. For those who previously had low supply and saw an immense increase in your yield, Please help. I’m trying to keep up with baby’s demand.
2024-01-22Did anyone experience lower back pain on only one side of your back? I’m 30 weeks pregnant and I’m feeling it so much. My thirst is back, I have heartburn and I get chills…
2024-01-22My LO of 2months old just started his first day at IFC. Send him at 9.30am and pick up at 5.30pm. He came back and have been sleeping all the time even tho his feeding usually is 2 hourly. He did nap in school and teacher said he was doing well. Should this tiredness be a concern? #firsttimemom #advicepls
2024-01-22firsttimemom #advicemommies Is ultrasound taken for you at every appointment or only specific weeks? If you could share, who is your gynae? Thanks!
2024-01-22I am in my last trimester and till date I have been admitted to hospital on three occasions ( 1 influenza viral , 1 stomach flu and lastly bleeding). I have so much guilt as I have never stayed in hospital before and but however this pregnancy made me stay in hospital thrice and I wonder if it will impact my innocent child 🥺 Any mommy was pregnant and as sick as I fell and still gave birth to healthy baby? I need some positive motivation as I carry this guilt everytime.. I know things are not beyond my control but I still can’t help but to worry and overthink .. #firsttimemom #advicemommies #advicepls
2024-01-22Hello! FTM here. Is it normal for LO to keep flexing arms during sleep? LO is currently 2.5 months. We tried to swaddle her but she dislike it so much that she would scream or cry out loud until we remove the swaddle. She is a freestyle sleeper lol .. However if we didnt swaddle her, she would flex her arms around when she is gonna sleep (which she couldn't sleep of course with her arms flexing around) and often needs help (e.g. People to pat her or people to carry her first n then put down onto the bed when in deep sleep) to get to sleep. And again, in the middle of her sleep, her arms would then flex around and she wakes herself up and cry. The only way to make her sleep longer is to put her on our chest. She loves to sleep on our chest but we do not want to make this a habit for her..

2024-01-23Hey fellow mummies-to-be! I’m currently 6w pregnant and having a hard time trying to find pregnancy safe shampoos & conditioners that won’t leave my hair frizzy. Any recommendations? I’m currently using Tsubaki - understand that the ingredients are not exactly pregnancy safe. I’m intending to continue using this shampoo & conditioner until I manage to find a pregnancy safe one - not sure if there may be any issue with this? Thanks in advance!
2024-01-23Just received a call from doctor that my fts t21 is high risk , 1 in 285. I also did nipt. Has anyone had high risk in their fts and then nipt low risk. If yes , did yall proceed with Amnio? Update : DID MY NIPT AND ITS LOW RISK
2024-01-23My baby fell sick since last week ++ and until now still coughing with lots of phlegm. And not sure if its due to that, that now his milk intake dropped. He used to take 150ml/3hrs but now dropped to 100ml only at most. Daily intake around 600ml or so. He’s only 4 months old, on fm. But he’s starting to get a little active back altho still sick. We also went to polyclinic few days back they say its most probably virus that got from IFC. Cause his ifc also always got kids coughing and all. Should i be worried on his decreased intake ? Or its still ok and monitor ? How long usually will they be back to their normal intake ?
2024-01-23Hi My baby is 10 months old and I want to increase her immunity. Is there any products available to increase the immunity? Anyone using BioGaia or Sambucol for baby? Any recommendations?please#advicepls#firsttimemom #vitamins
2024-01-23Just wanted to rant, as a first time working mum and still adapting to the changes. Ever since my baby was born, till now 4m, i feel like my rs with husband is mostly on the salty bad side. It’s always us being triggered, arguments, quarrelling and fighting. I always feel like im not being appreciated or loved at all. Like i had a very bad traumatic long labour which ended up in csect, even after all the sacrifices i put myself and my body through, i still dont feel appreciated. My husband rarely hugs me, cuddle or even hold hand. I feel distant. We’re both working office hrs (there are times when he need to ot till night), and when back from work, need to fetch baby from infant care and by the time we’re back home we’re already so tired and out of energy. Even on weekends its very tiring. Due to always being tired and lack of sleep, we’re always triggered over the smallest things. Even when we’re out with just both of us without baby, we would end up fighting. So pls dont recommend date nights itll never work esp with baby and us wanting to stay home due to tiredness I always feel very lonely and sad. I want to be loved and appreciated. And no point bringing it up to my husband cs will end up huge fight. Any mummies also going thru this and does it get better?
2024-01-23I don’t use pacifier to make baby sleep but sometimes when she cries and just wouldn’t stop even with rocking etc then is it bad to give pacifier? Will she be reliant if it’s just like once a day or so?#advicepls

2024-01-23I heard and see many people saying about requesting for hospital leave to stay home and rest. I've been having sleepless night and it's really bad for me the next day when i go for work... and now I'm at week 34. So was thinking to ask for hospital leave to stay home to rest. But any advice on how to request it from the doctor?

2024-01-23How are you mummies coping with the pumping schedule for newborns?

2024-01-23Anyone doing cord blood banking? Undecided atm.
2024-01-23I bought this caterpillar bread it's cream with chocolate flakes for my 4yo breakfast. The bread is long hence too much for him. Husband came home and want to eat the bread I bought for my boy and says he can't finish anyway. I got so triggered I say u want u tear the bread into halve(and not bite until half left). In fact I don't even want him to tear the bread into halve. Tomorrow it will not look nice as a whole bread for my toddler (who cares if he can't finish tomorrow, I can just eat the remaining). I bought husband sausage bread and told him he can eat that instead but he insisted to eat the caterpillar (he usually don't eat chocolate too). Don't know what's wrong with him. So pissed I don't feel like talking to him.
2024-01-23Anything I can do to bring placenta up as I dont want to undergo C-section. This baby is huge for my body and pelvic size. 1st preg was also low-lying placenta but baby came out safe but small through Normal delivery.
2024-01-23Hi mummies , just curious how do i gain more milk supply ? What food will boost my supply ?
2024-01-23Hi mummies , i heard that if u are pregnant and have cat , it is best to stay away from their litter box as far as u can as it may affect baby . Is that true ? I have cats at home and i try to stay away by always being in the room 24/7 . Also , with my constantly stuffed nose , i cant usually smell anything but still i avoid their litter box. Anyone have heard of this or avoided this during their pregnancy ? #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #advicemommies #advicepls
2024-01-23I see most posts mentioning that for some reason Drs are promoting c-sect for the smallest common pregnancy symptom(s). In the past, Women gave birth without such options. We, as mothers should always ask qns and be aware by educating ourselves. Time to call out on this money making strategy. Hosp trips, appts, scans, medications etc aint CHEAP in Singapore.
2024-01-23Does anyone here having bad allergies or blocked nose every single night at 15 weeks pregnant onwards? I'm 16 weeks now...

2024-01-23Is it okay to drink a small cup of teh in third trimester? Maybe one week twice or one week once? Does drinking tea make your baby black?
2024-01-24Mummies who gave birth to their baby full term and their baby now still at the lower percentile, did your baby turned out fine when they grow up? My 4 months old is only 6.3kg and 60cm and its small for his age and im very worried. He used to be 6.6kg but got sick and lost weight. He looks small physically. Sometimes i cant help but to compare him with other babies esp those in his ifc and same age. Altho i know we should not compare our baby. Can i just know how much your baby weight and their height at 4 months?

2024-01-24This week, during our music lesson, children learned the song " I put my scarf on my head" and engage in using props ( scarves ) to enhance their sensory experiences and creativity. Through this activity, children moved their bodies to the rhythm of the song and imitate actions related to putting scarf on different body parts. They had lots of fun and enjoyed themselves dancing to the song. If you have any scarves at home, you can also play this song and let your child dance and sing along at home! ☺️

2024-01-25Hi mummies that went through abortion at early stage. How do i go about getting an abortion, do i go to KKH A&e or go polyclinic for referral or go private clinic/hospital for faster appointment ? How long is the appointment and how long is the procedure from first appointment to the abortion day itself ? were you given pill, and how many days were you warded? And how painful is abortion? Please dont ask me reason for abortion. Just asking in advanced in the event i needed it for my own health reason.
2024-01-25Hello Mama's, My little one is currently 2 months. I'm looking after her by myself in the day and I need a little advice on how to let the baby sleep on her own for daytime naps. Each time I set her down she will cry out. She only wants to sleep when she's carried. I understand that she feels safer sleeping on me but she's getting a little heavy for me. Swaddling, the traditional baby swing and the rocking crib doesn't work. Does anyone have any advice please?
2024-01-25At which week of your pregnancy do you mommies start washing baby clothes? :)
2024-01-25I'm 8th week by the time of appointment. Does KKH does ultrasound scan for 8th week. Please do share your comments #advicemommies #firsttimemom .
2024-01-25I just need to get this off my chest because i feel like no one understands except for new mums like me. I’m a stay-at-home mum, taking care of my 6mo son currently living with my in-laws. My son’s development has been going well, at times he can be a little too advanced for his age. He has begun crawling but not so well, he can roam around basically. Recently, fencing my bed with adult pillows (heavy & thick ones) doesn’t seem to work anymore. Of course, he has to be constantly keep an eye on. At times i will lay his playmat in the living room & leave him there while i do my things. But when it comes to bathing, i feel like i can’t leave him there for too long bc the house is not children-friendly (vases everywhere, old wooden furnitures with sharp corners) or he could go underneath furnitures where it’s very dusty. My grandma-in-law couldn’t help much but only watch as she’s weak & a little handicapped. Whereas for my MIL, she’s always pre-occupied with things. Handling my grandma-in-law who sometimes can be unreasonable, manning the house, taking care of her first grandchild, at times need to help with matters outside. I feel lonely and helpless all the time, i thought i could get some help living my in-laws but it’s as good as being alone. Perhaps i could’ve done things better if i were to have my own house. I can leave him outside the toilet while i shower with the door open. But i can’t do that, can I? I can leave the playmat and leave him there at my own convenience instead of having to keep it all the time as respect that im staying at someone else’s house so I can’t do as I please. One time my son was sleeping so i left him on my bed while i eat. Usually he would cry when he wakes up and sees no one. Then my MIL tell to not leave him there anymore because he was already at the edge peeping at door despite I already fence the bed with pillows. Then what am i supposed to do? She wasn’t at home earlier on, i can’t put him to sleep in the living room because my GIL is always watching tv. My baby is a FOMO baby so he will tend to fight sleep when he hears things going on. I can’t send him to my mother because she’s also taking care of her first grandchild who is just 5 weeks older than my baby. My son and his cousins are basically at the age where they can’t leave from our sight. And it sucks because the main reason why I’m not working bc there’s no one to take care of my son. I wanted to send him to infant care but there’s no available slots for months! While the parents of my nephews didn’t want to send their child to infant care. One of them actually got a slot but his parents didn’t want to send him because he kept crying. I understand that as parents I don’t want to put my child under so much stress either. But what’s the point then? Sucks being the second grandchild to both sides of the family because the first already “chope” their grandparents to take care of them. Until when do i have to hold back and not work? I need to work to get subsidies sending him to infant care, I need to work so i can get my cpf going again to get a house but but who’s going to take care of with for that few months? And it’s so hard to find time to do some self-care, let alone self-maintenance. My baby oftens wake up crying when i shower and my MIL would help take him. I would rush myself, not being able to put deodorant or lotion on. I only managed to put on moisturiser, unable to put something else to treat my troubled skin because i felt bad that 99% of the time my MIL had to drop whatever she had to do to carry my baby until I’m done. Even when my husband gets home from work it’s tough because he always makes time to have his soccer session and I barely have the time to do some self-maintenance like waxing etc. Yes I did sometimes say to him “ya la you alone can have the time. Not me” and he will just be playful with me. But so far he didn’t initiate a “come i take care of him, you do your things”. I had to ask. Yes I do I get some time off from my baby but what’s the point if i have to ask all the time? Sometimes i would cry alone because i feel so alone and stuck. What would you guys do if you were in my shoes? What should the changes be made so my baby is safe while I took a shower/eat? #advicepls #firsttimemom #Curious #RantNgFTM

2024-01-25Currently my LO is 3.5 months. These few days his feeding can drag to 4 hours compared to last time feeding 2-3 hours. Is it a concern?
2024-01-25Hi Mummies, Just hopping on here to share my experience with you all. Would also love to hear your similar experiences 😊 I'm currently 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I had very wet discharge and saw some brown discharge mixed with yellow discharge ( so technically pale brown) on my panty liner. After wiping many times and stuffing tissue slightly into vagina there was no abnormal discharge. I was worried it might be spotting so I went to KKH O&G center. The doctor checked my cervical mucus and found no blood (that's good news) she did an ultrasound and could only see the gestational sac. No yolk sac or fetal pole seen. Which had me wondering because I should see yolk sac by now but what surprised me was that the doctor said that my period might not be as accurate as I thought and that I may have ovulated later, meaning that I am actually way earlier in my pregnancy than I think I am 🤣 hence not being able to see the fetal pole or yolk sac. So... The doctor just prescribed me some progesterone pills that I have to insert in my vagina. I guess this helps with hormonal support and helps "prevent" (not 100%) miscarriage. Next appointment is 13 feb, I'll be 9 weeks then. I hope to see my baby then!!
2024-01-25hi help pls my 3 months is always crying. when put down, before sleep, after feed, always crying. we tried all ways, changing diaper, feed, give colic medicine but he is still crying even when we carry. anyone has experience? pls help.
2024-01-25First time mommy here. What’s your views and opinion about epidurals? Thank you in advance ❤️
2024-01-25Mummies , do you only sleep on your left during the last trimester? I have been trying to sleep on my left but I had trouble going to sleep.. I end up tossing and turning because I try to avoid sleeping on the right.. when i doze off on my right, i feel so guilty for my baby 🥺 #advicemommies #firsttimemom #advicepls
2024-01-26Is anyone the same? But when I put down the phone and baby father place his hand on my stomach , he stop moving … it’s already the last trimester and he only moved once or twice for him before 😅 but when it’s just baby and I, he sometime move do much then I feel aches 😂
2024-01-26My 4mo has been waking up in the middle of the night to lick her hand, or even her sleeves, if her hands are covered by her sleeves. She does that with her eyes closed and only stops if we swaddle her tighter and keep her hands out of her reach. However she is getting stronger and also starting to flip, so it seems like the swaddle won’t be a solution in the long run. Any advice on how to get her to sleep better? #advicepls #firsttimemom

2024-01-26My baby has been having watery poop since he turned 2 months until now 4 months. He’s on full FM, did not change his FM since birth. Atleast once a day or max 3 times a day, only poops after feeding or an hour after or so. Sometimes his poop is creamy but most of the times are watery. Yellow or dark yellow. Is it considered diarrhoea?
2024-01-26Anyone has poor appetite even in second trimester? I'm 23 weeks pregnant with twins and can barely finish my food every meal...
2024-01-26Any mummies under KKH subsidized managed to get doctor’s memo to WFH? Planning to do so when nearing 3rd trimester.
2024-01-26Hi mommies, I feel lost of appetite when I eat. I could get cravings but once the food is here, I am unable to finish it. Is anyone experiencing the same?
2024-01-26Gosh, the involvement of my mother-in-law in raising my child is CRAZY. While I appreciate her love and concern for her grandchild, I find myself feeling overwhelmed and, dare I say it, a bit suffocated by her constant interference. Don't get me wrong – I understand the importance of family support. However, it seems like every parenting decision I make is scrutinized, and my mother-in-law believes she knows what's best for my child. I cherish the time spent with my little one, and I want to build a strong and nurturing bond with her. But it feels like I'm constantly walking on eggshells, afraid to make a move without the judgment of my mother-in-law. I long for the freedom to explore my own parenting journey, make mistakes, and learn from them, without the constant interference. I've tried having open and honest conversations with my mother-in-law about boundaries, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. I want to foster a harmonious relationship, but I'm not sure how to balance respecting her role as a grandmother while still maintaining my autonomy as a mother.
2024-01-26Hi everyone, tested very early and was wondering if this is a faint line or evaporation line! Thank you. Update: definitely darker today!
2024-01-26Just curious after reading things online
2024-01-26May I know does this mean infant can be enrolled when they are 5weeks old or only 8 weeks old?
2024-01-26Ive run out of things to do during my 4 month old’s wake period. He used to hate tummy time but now that he has learnt to flip, he be flipping most of the time and always on tummy time. Other than that, we put him on a play gym with hanging toys, rocker with hanging toys, talk to him, sing to him. Aside from reading books, what else should i do to fill up his wake period ? His routine is usually milk - playtime - nap
2024-01-26My baby is 6 months old. Baby usually take a nap in the day, sometimes 30 mins to 1 hour. (Usually the same timing , 4 pm to 5pm ish) However, sometimes she can sleep at night , sometimes she can't. Is it due to her daytime naps? I noticed that even when the duration of the nap is short, she still don't feel sleepy at night.#advicemommies #advicepls #firsttimemom
2024-01-26Hello, is it normal for a baby to poop about 6 times a day? :( After her rotavirus vaccination, she had diarrhoea so went to the pd and changed to isomil. She was pooping 10 times a day during and after feed (few days after vaccination) It was okay for awhile so switched back to her Nan formula. Then she went back to pooping after her milk (not straight after but maybe 1-2hours after that kind) which is about 5-6 times in a day. Is this normal? Am currently putting her back on isomil for the time being again Ps. I wouldn’t say her poo is watery. Looks pretty normal actually. Just that she’s pooing a lot . #advicepls #firsttimemom
2024-01-26Is it ok to let 4 months old sleep sideways or tummy down ? Yes he already know how to flip his body from back to tummy. Or will it hinder his breathing or bad for them? Mostly for naps
2024-01-26Mummy can help me share your baby solid schedule and food they eat? Example Breakfast : cereal Lunch : porridge with vege and meat Tea time : fruits puree Dinner : porridge My baby is in ifc so bfast until tea time it has been taken care of. But for dinner im still confused on what should i feed her? Isit porridge with meat and vege or cereal will do? Can you guys share instant porridge that your LO likes? As both of us working we try our best to cook for her but if really no time we have no choice but to resort to instant food for her dinner. #pleasehelp #firsttimemom #firsttimemom

2024-01-26Hi all, currently week 10. As I have severe morning sickness (HG) puking multiple times, unable to stomach even water. Gynae advised to stop all supplements as sight of supplements triggered my nausea as well. But I'm a little worried that if i stops folic and fish oil, will it affect baby's development?

2024-01-26Hi mummies, I’m close to 38 weeks and did Brazilian waxing 3 days ago. It’s my first waxing experience and I developed inflammation and white bumps after. Checked with both my waxer and gynae and it seems normal as it’s my first time and bumps should go away after some time and best to leave it alone. I’m getting a lot of discomfort from the inflammation though :( Wondering if anyone had similar experience?
2024-01-27I’m curious and dying to know whether this is true or not. I am told that Paternity leave is now extended to 4 weeks. My husband is a shift worker, meaning in a month he has about roughly 14 working days and the rest of the days includes his off days & rest days. He told me that the paternity leave (4 weeks) is only eligible for office hours workers. Can someone advice if this is true? Because technically if 4 weeks he should be at home for roughly 2 months since his working days are about 14 a month? I’m confused.
2024-01-27Are you guys staying home most time or going out to shop and walk? I realise i hardly see fellow mummies at mall. I’m exhausted after walking 30 mins myself.

2024-01-27Hll FTM here. I have few questions regarding purees. 1) how long can I keep the purees in freezer if it's blended with water? 2) how much food should I start my baby with? Eg: 1 tablespoon a day for one meal etc... 3) do I have to feed milk first before giving food? If yes then do I have to wait in between eg: 30mins ? 4) when do u increase the number of meals from one to two to three? What will be the portion like?
2024-01-27Hi mummies, my babies not drinking milk on time which more than 3 hrs we try to feed but keep crying did not want it and keep wakeup crying. Need Hug only and sometime hug did not calm him down. #pleasehelp #advicemommies
2024-01-27Quick background - currently staying with husband’s grandma and helper (note: helper is under grandma’s and mainly taking care of her and doing housework and cook) while waiting for our BTO. My husband and I paid her additional since we moved in for washing our clothes, baby clothes and tidying our room, and cook (she cook dinner everyday for grandma so it’s just add in 2 more person’s meal) as we felt bad (since we are not her employer and she is doing extra chores for us). The helper is really nice and have initiatives, but sometimes I felt annoyed especially when it comes to my 3 month old LO. FTM here btw… I am the kind of hands on mom and prefer doing everything myself when it comes to LO. As I’m on ML, I’m the main caregiver. I didn’t let the helper help with feeding / changing diaper / shower (again we are not her employer). Will at times leave my LO in the rocker at living room so Grandma gets to watch over LO and bond with her great grand daughter. When LO stirred in her sleep in the rocker or make some minor noise, she would come rushing over and carry her. I would be in the toilet / pumping milk and not in time to stop her lol. LO is still sleeping and may be in light sleep so it’s normal for her to make noise. I always tell her to observe first and don’t immediately carry. She doesn’t seem to listen. It is really frustrating. Sometimes I let grandma carry LO to sayang and bond and helper would come and take over. Also, once I told her not to carry as LO is playing on her own and help me to just watch over in the room while I go for a quick shower. When I’m out of the shower, my LO is not in the room anymore. Apparently she carried out to living room and even fed her milk. I was very pissed as she didn’t inform. Another thing is once she was eating oranges and I needed help with LO, so I asked her if she could help to carry LO for a short while. She is definitely glad to do it but she wipe her hands on her pants and want to carry LO over. Immediately I told her to wash her hands first.. zzz It’s not first time already.. there was once she was cooking half way and I caught her using her hands to grab and touch my LO hands.. now my LO is at the age of sucking her thumb and fingers. How unhygienic! Again I reminded her to wash hands and refrain from touching LO hands as much as possible.. What to do to helper who doesn’t listen, lol..
2024-01-27Hi mommies. Would like to share my experience of threatened miscarriage that happened yesterday. I was bleeding after I engaged in intercourse with my partner last morning. We engaged in soft sex. I was well lubricated and was not in pain at all. We decided to visit a woman specialist clinic to check and they did vaginal ultrasound and thank god, detected the heartbeat of the foetus. They prescribed me with a pill which is meant to strengthen the foetus, calcium pill, milk powder and DHA fish oil. Dr also advised to avoid engaging in intercourse in the first trimester as the foetus is still weak and unstable. Hoping for a smooth remaining 33 weeks! #firsttimemom

2024-01-27This week, during our music lesson, children learned the song " I put my scarf on my head" and engage in using props ( scarves ) to enhance their sensory experiences and creativity. Through this activity, children moved their bodies to the rhythm of the song and imitate actions related to putting scarf on different body parts. They had lots of fun and enjoyed themselves dancing to the song. If you have any scarves at home, you can also play this song and let your child dance and sing along at home! ☺️

2024-01-27How common is vaginal/pelvic muscle pain? I am 32 weeks pregnant. When I lie down and try to flip the pain is very bad 7/10 I would say. If I try to get up and take walk or sit again it pains alot. Baby movements are good but this pain is even making walking difficult.
