Choroid Plexus Cyst discovered during week 20 scan

Hi mummies, I recently went for my week 20 detailed scan and my bb is found to have a choroid plexus cyst. My gynae mentioned that it used to be seen as a marker for Down syndrome but now they don’t believe so. Has anyone’s bb had this during their scan and is now normal and healthy??

Hi, hows your baby condition now?

Real thoughts on out of wedlock baby

Im just curious on what people think of others who had a baby out of wedlock? Isit still looked down upon? but isnt it better that the parents took responsibility instead of going for abortion or abandoning the child?

Unfortunately our Asian society is still rather conservative esp the older generation. If ure able to go past tt or ignore tt then good. Personally I think it's definitely still better to go ahead and take care of the baby tgt, at least when the time comes when ur kid is big enough to know what happened he/she knows u took responsibility.

My POV, it’s their own problem I won’t comment so much and if I am the person, I don’t need any comments either. At the very least I am not committing a crime and I am taking the responsibility instead of choosing the easy way out. However, you cannot avoid unneccesary comments from the older generations so the best is ignore. Eventually when the kid grows up, who will go and remember that they are a wedlock baby 😂. As long as both parties takes up the responsibility, I don’t see why they need to be looked down. You give birth old, give birth too young, don’t give birth people also got thing to say. 🤓

Baby is is 9 days old. Umbilical cord still intact but seeing some brownish spots on diaper. Is this sign of infection? What should i do? During discharge, hospital informed to not apply anything. No need to sanitise/clean. Just keep it dry and let it fall off in it's own. Confinement nanny suggested to buy alcohol wipe. Can we use that?

alcohol wipe can use it’s just another method to clean. it’s probably just old blood

Hi Mummies, I’m doing my maternity now with nanny, eating all the “heaty” food. Bathing once a day, rather then that, I’ll wipe my body 3-4x a day (kept perspiring after meal), but still my underarm smells (wasn’t like this before giving birth). What can I do?

it’s hormonal and temporary, don’t worry. it will fade one

OB Don’t check my cervix if dilated, turning 40 weeks now

Hi I’m turning 40 weeks this week. However, I’m wondering my OB doesn’t check my cervix if how many cm already? He only do ctc testing. Is it normal?

depends on the OB and your condition too. I asked the Ob to check mine from week 37 onwards, just want to have some reassurance on my part too.

Baby keeps spitting up

Baby dislike burping but will spit up from the nose and mouth #pleasehelp #FTM

Try reducing the amount if bottle feeding. Wait for awhile before you burp baby. I usually wait 5-10 mins before I move or burp baby after feeding. I stopped burping after 2.5/3mo (baby is fine with no gas, colic or reflux issues)

Helper overly enthu

Hi, I recently had a helper just for my new born. She seems “overly enthusiastic” with my child, whenever my new born started crying, she is in the room carrying him, and didn’t wanna pass my new born to me since I’m there (even thou after her). Shld I b worried? She also seems to be on her phone frequently too, saw that she is on the line with ear bud on all the time.. and keep using the xiaomi vacuum almost 3-4x a day without physically mopping

Weight after C-Sect

Hi Mummies out there, something I’m puzzled about. My new born baby weighs 3.2kg, but when I weigh myself 2 days after giving birth (thru C-sect), I only lost 2kgs. Wonder whyyyy didn’t I lose the baby’s weight + water bag etc

you probably gained through water retention post-delivery. it’s not uncommon
