Hi mommies! I'm in week 24 and 4 days. Since last evening, I started having this pain like cramp around my pelvis area whenever I stand and walk. And even turning in bed. Never experienced it before w my 2 other pregnancies. I've checked, there was no bleeding or spotting. Wondering what it is and must I consult doctor for it? Worries me as I'm a Type 2 diabetes mommy. Had it since my 2nd pregnancy, tho, no complications throughout. Thank you.

it should be a normal cramp as baby is growing and might be pressing on nerves. nonetheless, better to consult your gynae.

Yeast Infection (Candida) Vagina pain (Labia Minoria)

Does any preggy experience yeast infection, too? Although I have recovered but still experience vagina (labia minoria) itchy/pain from time to time, is this normal?

This happened due to hormonal changes in our body, I do experience itchy vaginal during first pregnancy. But, none of the both above mentioned happened. I just wear loose undies, silk type. Because of our body going through pregnancy, hence whatever that body releases through vaginal discharges tends to be imbalance of pH causing some mummies to have yeast infections, itchy, redness, etc.

I just did my OGTT today and when i got the results my heart shattered. I am positive for GDM :((( I’m feeling super demoralized.. any mummies facing the same issue? May I know what are the procedures after this? #firsttimemom

Hi, your hospital will contact u soon to have a plan for blood sugar monitoring. If you have not contacted you by Monday. Please give them a call. You have to stick to the tight blood sugar monitoring plan and they will check the growth of your baby closely.

Private to government hospital

Hi mummies, are there any mummies who visit private gynae at private hospitals and give birth at government hospitals? How do you claim the maternity medisave package? And do government hospitals consider you as private or subsidize patients when admissions?

If you want to be a subsidised patient, you need to get a referral letter from the polyclinic.

What brand jamu is more recommended? Can share what do you use?

Malay confinement

My jamu was done by my makcik urut, her own recipe. Alternatively, you can try Mutiara from Tya Ariffin or JRM from Bonda. You can search and choose the best brand and quality.

Upper back pain

18 weeks now and I have been experiencing very bad upper back ache around the shoulder blade areas and tight shoulders at night when sleeping. It gets so bad I keep waking up every 2 hours, have to stretch or wake my husband up to massage my upper back. Happens both when sleeping on my back and worse when on my side. Anyone experienced this? Anyway to resolve..?

mine went away I just did some stretching and make sure I have plenty space to lie down on the bed.

Hello friends, I’m week23 now but I’ve gained 8-9kg already. The guidance on this app shows that you are likely gained 4.5-6.8kg… 🤔🤔🤔 Am I gained too much??? How to maintain now???

hi but if u are normally small in size pre pregnancy then I think 8-9 kg is no issue.

Recommendations on doctor

Currently 24 weeks and I’m looking to switch from KKH to private gynae, any reviews on Dr Paul Tseng? What’s his delivery fees (normal/emergency/c-sect). Open to doctor recommendations as well, prefer doctor that can provide HL before EDD #firsttimemom
