Transverse baby at 37 Weeks

Hi mummies! First time mom here. My baby is transverse all along my pregnancy and was head down at Week 34/35. However, during my Week 37 appointment, my baby decided to be transverse again 🙃 Yes, I could feel her head at my left side 😂 I am doing all sorts of breech exercises currently before my appointment on 19 June. I have a scheduled c-section on 20 June. Just need an opinion on this. Should I: 1) Wait for labour to kick in and pray that my baby is head down then? To note: If still transverse, it is probably gonna be an emergency c-section. Another thing, my gynae warned me that once my water bag broke, do not waste time and rush to the hospital as there are risk of the cord harming the baby. 2) Scheduled a c-section on the next week (as honestly we are not prepared for the 20 June one), but my regular gynae will be on leave :/ I am aware that c-section’s recovery period is harder compared to normal vaginal birth. And an elective c-section is better than an emergency one cause your body is not going though contractions. I really, really need other mummies’ opinion on this as I have been a nervous wreck for the past few days 😭 #advice #firstmom #seriouslyasking

Overwhelming 3rd trimester, just want to rant

I'm currently in my 3rd trimester, and today has been a really tough day for me. The scorching hot weather has been draining all my energy, and I feel like I'm stuck in a never-ending cycle of sadness. Despite feeling utterly exhausted, I pushed myself to pick up my 2yo daughter after work. But the weight of my empty bank account and the pile of unpaid bills hanging over my head is suffocating me. Even though I have a helper and my husband's support, I can't shake off this heavy cloud of sadness that looms over me. I don't know if it's my raging hormones or the constant financial struggles that are pulling me down. To make matters worse, payday feels like a distant dream, only coming around on the 20th of each month. And to add insult to injury, my part-time salary keeps getting delayed every single month. This is the first time in a long while that I'm unable to cover my insurance, and there's a real fear it might lapse this month. On top of all this, my husband seems to have been taken advantage of by a scammer bcos his rental car. The reason we have a helper and my husband has a car is because my husband, who has mild autism, finds it hard to understand certain things, and it's exhausting for me to keep explaining. All these struggles have drained me of the motivation to eat healthily, and I can't help but feel guilty for not taking better care of my little one growing inside me. I'm finding it hard to muster the enthusiasm to do anything else; all I crave is the solace of the air-conditioned office, away from the overwhelming demands of being a mother and a wife. But even there, a recent complaint has left me feeling utterly defeated. I'm desperately seeking guidance on how to turn things around and what foods can lift my spirits. Despite my overwhelming fatigue, the inability to fall asleep is driving me to the brink, making me feel like I'm losing my grip on reality.

I hope you feeling better now.

Clear Watery Discharge

Currently 35wks. Been having this type of clear watery discharge for more than 2wks. Consistency like water & no foul smell or whatsoever but i can feel it when the discharge comes. The amount of discharge will actlly seep through my panties if im not wearing any panty liners. Is this normal?#firsttimemom #seriouslyasking

Yes, it is completely normal to experience increased vaginal discharge during pregnancy, especially in the later stages. The clear watery discharge you are experiencing is called leukorrhea, and it is your body's way of keeping the birth canal clean and preventing infection. The discharge may be more noticeable when you are active or standing up, and it can definitely seep through your panties if you're not wearing panty liners. To manage this, you can wear panty liners to keep yourself comfortable and dry. It's important to keep an eye out for any changes in color, consistency, or odor, as these could be signs of infection. If you notice anything unusual, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider. Remember to stay hydrated and maintain good hygiene practices. If you have any concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor or midwife for further reassurance. Take care and all the best with the rest of your pregnancy! #youarenotalone https://invl.io/cll6she

Stomach tightness

Hi mummies, I’ve been feeling tightness throughout the time I wake up from my sleep at 7plus or so until now. I’m 35 weeks now going to 36. Not sure if I should go KKH and check it out and my pregnancies are all smooth just that I am currently 2cm dilated and no mucus plug or anything.

Should you feel concern, you should call labour to have you under observation and monitor your baby's heart beat, signs of contractions through CTG.

When can I start drinking coconut water?

Currently 32 weeks FTM! Curious to know when can I start drinking coconut water? I’ve been having only water, occasional decaf coffee and soy milk zero sugar ever since I’ve been diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

My gynae told me not to drink coconut water as it have high calorie. Maybe you can consult your gynae first, especially you have GDM.

NUH- C-section Total Fee (Private)

Hi any mummies here went thru caesarean delivery at NUH under Class B1 (Private) ? May I know what’s the total payment you made at the end of “staycation” ?

Hi there! Congratulations on your upcoming delivery at NUH. I haven't personally delivered via C-section at NUH under Class B1, but I have friends who have. The total payment at the end of their staycation varied depending on the length of stay, additional procedures, and any complications that may have arisen. It's best to check directly with the hospital or your healthcare provider for a more accurate estimate of the total fee. They can provide a breakdown of the costs involved, including the surgery, hospital stay, medication, and any other services you may require. I hope everything goes smoothly for you and your little one. Wishing you a safe and healthy delivery! And if you have any other questions or need support, feel free to ask. Best wishes!

Insomnia in third trimester

Hi FTM here at week 31. I had sleep problems starting 2nd trimester but during that period i can at least fall asleep (only issue that period was waking up 1-2 times middle of night and can’t get back to sleep after) . Am in 3rd trim now and I could barely sleep despite going to bed at 10.30pm. It’s so tiring as I still have work the next day. Often awake till 1-3am. Tried relaxing music and it didn’t work. Sometimes it’s due to baby being active that keep me awake. It got so bad that i rely on drowsy antihistamine to knock myself out twice every week to get proper sleep. Any tips?

Hello! I’m also a FTM in my third trimester now and also facing this situation but I guess it’s normal. I just endure it and try to pass my day 🥲 sometimes I will just take a quick nap during lunch time or in public transport/car if I have a seat on MRT/bus. It’s indeed tiring but please hang on! I played relaxing music before sleep but it only work sometimes, which is better than nothing for me. Otherwise, I will take a day off from work to sleep in longer or afternoon nap to recover my sleep 🥲 I also will tell baby to let mommy sleep because mommy is really tired and have to work the next day. Glad that he listened and stop kicking.
