Birthclub: January 2025

FTM 8 weeks. I feel like my chest is growing wider and my bra feels alot tighter. Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe even though i have changed into a wider bra band and clasping the last buckle. I'm generally bigger chested (E cup) which makes it difficult to buy bras. I sized up for my bra band not long ago but its starting to feel restrictive again, so idk if its because of the wired bra or if I need to size up the band again. Is it recommended to change to non wired bra or sports bra to help cope it? (But im worried about the support) Sorry for the long post. Any recommendations for comfy bras? Appreciate the feedback, if any! Thank you in advance! #firsttimemom #adviceappreciated

Im 6 weeks in. I experienced sharp stomach pain multiple times in a night. First when i was carry a bag (not too heavy) and later when i reached for something overhead. In between there were mild episodes of jabbing pain too though it comes in pangs and eventually subsided. No spotting. My earliest gynea appointment is 2 weeks later. Is this normal?

Nervous to try as Dr prescribed me with 400mg x Twice a day. Is it too much?

Am having spotting, and I heeded one of the members' advice just that I went to Chas accredited GP instead of polyclinic and managed to get the KKH subsidised rate when I went to the Urgent O&G unit. Dr. gave Duphaston yst day. However, I am still having spotting even after duphaston. Is this normal?

It was spotting yesterday but today it got heavier into a 1 stream of brown discharge :( slightly worried and its our 1st, not sure what to do..

I'm a #firsttimemom at 7weeks and looking to get #insuranceforprenancy. Which is a better package: HSBC Happy Mummy or AIA Mum2Baby Protect? Or any other maternity insurance recommended? Hospital will be KKH. #advice

First Time visit to obgyn should the hubs come along? And what questions should I ask my obgyn?#firsttimemom

I recently had a miscarriage, which was my first pregnancy. I never thought I would be able to conceive, as my husband and I had been together for four years…. Long story short, it happened on Sunday, May 26th. In the evening, I started bleeding and went to A&E. Scans showed that my gestational sac was 5 weeks and 1 day old, but they couldn't see anything else. I was told to wait for my next check-up on May 28th. On the check-up day, the doctor told me that the embryo had not grown compared to the last check-up 10 days ago. It seemed to have shifted downward, and my gestational sac looked lower than before. Both the OB at A&E and the Women’s Clinic tried to tell me that I would miscarry, but I couldn't believe it. The doctor asked me to wait another week. The next day at 1 am, I had severe cramps that felt like I needed to poop, followed by lower back pain that made it impossible to lie down. I rushed to A&E at around 5-6 am, where they found tissue stuck at the neck of my womb and had to remove it. I was then given an abortion pill to flush out any remaining clots and waited for a while before going home. I took a 2-3 day rest but did not do confinement, as staying home made me feel too sad. As my body recovers and my hormones re-balance, I am now experiencing increased libido, which makes me feel guilty for moving on so quickly. I am still sad, but I am trying to think positively. Since I never heard a heartbeat, perhaps it means the embryo was not alive yet? Note: i am still bleeding mildly- i hope it can quickly end the bleeding 😩

Anyone is have on off early pregnancy symptoms ? I had symptoms last week but this week like nothing suddenly.

Currently on my 6th weeks and checked the price for both places for antenatal packages and delivery/ room dates are about the same. Any advice?
