Baby size smaller than usual

I just went for my scan. Im currently at 24 weeks gg 25. But the scan shows the size of a 21 weeks old baby. Should i be worried ? 😟

Did you check with your doc on the weight of the baby? If doc say is within the range, dont have to think so much. The edd on the scan is not accurate.

Hi mummies! I'm a first time mum here. I'm planning to send my LO to infant care once my maternity leave ends. I'm worried as most PCF/MFS infant care around have limited slots. Any mummies can share any tips on how to get a slot as soon as possible? Thanks in advance! #firsttimemom

Hello! You can try for private IFC! Edd march but managed to secure a slot.

Just had my blood and urine test taken. Doc is worried as my blood pressure is high during checkup. Result came back and it shows that my albumin is lower than the norm range, as per screenshot. What does it means?

Albumin, serum

TapFluencer

Low albumin indicates liver or kidney diesease

Confinement nanny

Hi parents who engaged a confinement nanny, will just like to ask: 1. Did the baby sleep with you or the nanny? 2. Does the nanny wake up to do night feeds, or you pumped beforehand? Just thinking if there are any cons to exposing the baby to bottles so quickly if I want to continue to breastfeed. 3. Feel free to share any challenges you faced! Thanks for the inputs!

1) Mostly with nanny to do night feeds, however if you intend to latch, easier to let baby sleep with you. 2) Also depending on whether you want to latch or bottle feed. For breastmilk, you will have to pump beforehand for nanny to warm up afterwards. The cons of introducing bottle while you intend to latch is that baby may prefer bottle over breast as there is lesser sucking to do. As the bottle teats have a faster flow compared to the breast, hence lesser effort. If you intend to give bottle, give the smallest teat. If you’re giving Avent bottles, do note that the standard size teat is size 1 (originally with the bottles), you will have to purchase size 0 seperately. I only knew about this after a month @.@ hence baby prefers bottle over breast.

OGTT in KKH (Subsidised) Process

Hi, Will like to check how will the procedures / process be for an OGTT test in KKH as a subsidised. Will then be any chance can see ultrasound of baby that day? Thanks.

It will just be OGTT with seeing doctor for consultation otherwise just OGTT. They will let you know for any upcoming appt if needed for ultrasound. Usually, 1st tri x 1 appt, 2nd tri x 1 appt, 3rd tri x 1 appt. OGTT will require you to fast. After 8pm no food/no drink except plain water. You will get your morning slot as early as the Clinic C open up. Afterwhich, 1hr apart of blood taking. Then, after last blood taking then you can consume food. If you vomit or eat during this OGTT, you will be required to come back.

Cold/ Flu during Week 22

Hi mommies, I have gotten the flu / cold bug last week and am recovering. Have seen the GP for prescribed medicines (which I only took once on the day I had seen the GP) for flu and and throat. May I know if any one experience this before as getting sick is probably quite common. My next visit to KKH is in about 2.5 weeks away. Will all be fine since I am recovering? #worriedfirsttimemom

It should be all fine if you have been taking medicine as prescribe. Hydrate more. I took the flu vaccine on first tri and another vaccine at third tri. This is to prevent from falling sick often despite all the flu bug, cough, whatever virus going around. Most importantly mummy and baby is fine and need not visit hospital/clinic often.
