Do you suffer from post-nasal drip or pregnancy rhinitis during pregnancy?

Is it serious and harmful to baby? Symptoms are stuffy and blocked nose, runny nose and coughing. #pleasehelp #advicepls

I’ve had it. I just monitor. My gynae previously prescribed pregnancy safe meds for blocked/ runny nose as it was one of my 1st trimester symptoms. So I just take those to control the symptoms. But I take temperature regularly. If no fever should be okay. Fever is a sign of infection and can be dangerous. But do see a GP if you’re concerned. :)

Do you need to bring your own Formula Milk to the hospital when you deliver your baby?

Does the hospital provide the milk and what brand they use?

Depends which hospital you are at. They do provide formula milk if breastmilk is not enough. KKH changes every 3 months. Brand used are Similac, Lactogen, Dulac.

Ward after delivery

Contemplating between choosing Ward A1 or sticking to the usual Ward C… 5 out of 5 times that I’ve been hospitalised are all under C class. This time after delivery, thinking if I should “reward” myself with a bit of luxury and private rest. Heard that in C class, you’ll be constantly disturbed by other mummies’ visitors or other babies’ cry. To what extent is this true? Any mummies keen to share your experience? I will be giving birth at KKH in August

If you want your husband to stay overnight, you can only choose ward A. Some mummies prefer ward sharing as time will pass faster since there’s someone to share and talk to. And yes, sharing of ward, there is a risk that when you’re asleep (light sleeper) during visiting hours, the chitchatting of other visitors might disrupt your sleep. Babies wise, it depends on your luck….. I personally stayed in single ward but 2-3 doors away, there is a baby which won’t stop crying and the only time he/she stops crying is when the nurses bring him back to nursery for vaccinations. However, it also depends on your baby. Although the constant cries from the next few doors, my baby’s sleep wasn’t distrupted.

Hi! Anybody knows if kkh ward A1 provide sterilizer for your pump parts/bottles? Or how do we go about washing/sterilizing them during our stay there? TIA❣️

nope definitely they don’t provide. use boiling water with the kettle. kkh team don’t really recommend pumping, they’ll insist for you to latch. your milk production likely won’t happen till after your discharge though.

Do you have help to take care of your baby at home or do you put baby in IFC?

Is it better to let baby stay in IFC? I wish to go to work but I have separation anxiety with my baby who is 3 months old now. What should I do ?#advicepls #pleasehelp #firstbaby

It depends what you and your spouse think and plan ahead. My first born wasn't in IFC/CC but, in PN. Now she's in K1 and her classes ends at 5pm. I didnt had any slot, I can't wait to start work after ML. She's solely care by my mum. However, my second born since my parents decide not to care for both my kids eversince I give birth in Feb 23' Therefore, my 3 months old will be in IFC from 7am to 7pm and elder will be in school 1pm to 5pm. Indeed separation anxiety esp for my second born because I resign when I was pregnant with her and she will only be in IFC at 6 months old (August, this year). I have no choice and I also love to work to earn extra income to enlighten burden. So that's my choice. Also, please be reminded that since kids immunity pretty low, your child tend to fall sick like fever, flu, cough, HFMD, etc. Hence, you got to prepare for the "worse" and multiple times of CCL/AL intake. Hopefully this doesn't happened though I understand it is not within our control esp air borne virus. This is in my opinion and what decision I've made for both of my kids.

Hi mummies. Will baby stay with you if you choose to stay in C ward after birth? Thanks in advance.

All classes baby will stay with you unless you are C section mum, require help and needed more rest then baby will be in nursery. I give birth recently and few mummies that needed more rest, or had major ops, or require extra help, baby do not co sleep with them.
