Hello! Might have to do elective c section as baby still breech at 37 weeks. Mummies who have gone through c section, what are your best tips? Anything from postpartum essentials to recovery to long-term recovery (scarring, overhang etc) 🥺 #firsttimemom

Bring a straw to the hospital for drinking water, so you don’t have to sit up right to do it. Get the nurse to measure your waist and buy a belly support wrap at the hospital. It helps to support and secure your stomach. Apply scar gel religiously. Take painkillers, it helps. Generally, my recovery was a smooth one. Nothing much to worry about. All the best to you!

KKH Induce Cost

hello mummies! would love to know what is the estimated cost if we need to induce in KKH - cash or medisave? thanks in advance!

Hi it depends on whether you are going the private route or subsidised route. Normally private route can use a combination of Medisave and cash, for subsidised most of it is from Medisave. You can check with the billing department if you are in the delivery ward about the costs.

Preparing for delivery

Hello mommies, it’s our turn to deliver soon and I’m feeling nervous 🥲 I am a first time mom and I don’t know what to expect or what will happen when the day comes. I’m afraid it will be painful and I will start to cry. How do you prepare yourself for delivery mentally and physically? 😞 what are the active labour signs you have experienced when baby is coming? #firsttimemom

It varies for individuals, usually contractions hit or when your water bag burst, you still have time to eat and shower before heading to hospital. For my case, I didn’t have any contractions or prelabour symptoms, my waterbag didn’t break till before birth and I was induced (overdue and low fluid). It’s okay to cry, I cried too cause I didn’t know what is gonna happen but the nurses were assuring and nice to me. My entire labour was considered fast and painless (I took whatever pain relievers that were available), the pain only hits me 12 hours later but I managed to sleep thru it. Prepare your hospital bag, IC and all the necessary forms so you can just grab and go. Time your contractions and don’t wait till last minute to go hospital so you can still give yourself some time to absorb whatever is going on. The obvious signs of labour are intermittent contractions and water bag breaking. Also, you might lose your mucus plug a few weeks to days, increased diarrhoea before labour. In the meantime, like I always advise my friends is, don’t go and read up on people’s birth stories or process. You’re just gonna scare yourself out. Wishing you a smooth delivery! ☺️

Baby's pee orange color

My baby boy is 2 days old and today one time I noticed his pee is orange color. Is it normal for a new born baby or is it a sign of any emergency?

Baby's pee orange color

It is not uncommon for a newborn baby's urine to appear orange in color, especially within the first few days after birth. This is usually due to the concentration of the urine and is not necessarily a cause for concern. However, if your baby's urine continues to be orange in color or if you notice any other unusual symptoms, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any potential issues. Staying well-hydrated is important for both you and your baby during this time. https://invl.io/cll6she

Dear mummies, I’m in my PP day 8 and my BM is still not flow in fully. My baby refused to latch due she can’t get milk . I tried to pump but the volume just too little. I’m kinda lost and feel like giving up on breastfeeding. Any mummy struggling the same as me?

My supply only increased at 1.5m PP after switching to handsfree pump. Also, don’t forget to drink lots of water and most importantly don’t stress. At any point of time if you feel that breastfeeding is take a toll, it’s totally fine to formula feed, don’t stress yourself too much.

39 Weeks and no sign of labour

Hi mummy, on and off will feel baby head pressing on my bladder after awhile it will be gone especially during the night and midnight. (Feeling like baby sliding out) Is it a sign or labour coming? I'm anxious as I don't want to get induced. As next week is my EDD..

Hihi! All the best! Pls walk around ALOT, eat dates and all. Not trying to scare you, I just had my induction. It was TERRIBLE. Im traumatised.
