Warm up breast milk

Hi moms I was wondering how do I warm up my breast milk when the milk is put in the freezer or fridge?#pregnancy #firsttimemom #breastfeedbabies

For frozen milk, take out the night before and let it thaw in the fridge then warm up as usual. If you forgot to thaw the night before, just put it under running water first then warm up. For fridge milk, just warm up in warmer/hot water.

Thigh pain third trimester

I am experiencing outer thigh pain for the past few weeks.. Am 32 weeks now with very achy thighs. It's very painful when I walk and stretch out my legs on the bed. It affects outer thighs. The medical term is Meralgia paresthetica. Does anyone have this problem too? Does it go away after delivery?

I’m experiencing it too at 29 weeks and now I’m 30 weeks. My mum told me it’s normal because your baby is growing inside the tummy but it hurts. I work in a preschool setting and I’m taking care of 24 months old children where I need to be seated on the floor..I even ask my husband and mum to massage but it doesn’t go away. Hopefully during and after delivery it will go away 😥

When are you all starting ML?

I am due 7 August 2024 and still am undecided if I should start my ML early or work until I am close to 40 weeks. Am currently on a WFH arrangement so it is pretty relaxing. I am with KKH subsidised so asking for HL will not be possible :/

When I gave birth to my daughter, I was on WFH basis too. I worked till the day I gave birth (37 weeks) and started ML on that day only. Didn’t take ML in advanced as WFH and wasn’t so sure when baby will come.

Hi mom I’m currently preg and I’m leaking colostrum and my nipple became dry is this normal what can I do to make it not so dry? #pregnancy #firsttimemom

Can apply nipple cream/coconut oil. And yes, as the milk dries up, it will cause flakes around your nipples, just gently exfoliate/rub during shower.

Why does kkh gynae recommended natural birth more I told my gynae k wanted c section but she insisted I get natural birth why is tat so? ##firs1stimemom

Maybe your gynae is more pro natural (and less process for natural compared to Csect surgery)? But if you have decided your birth method, just tell her you’re firm on Csect and would not consider natural. Another factor she probably want you to consider is that, if you get csect for the first, your second one will probably also be Csect unless you wanna try vbac (if you want natural).

Hi moms anyone have any birth story’s with c section? First time mommy here I js wanna know what to expect! #firstmom #advice #Csection

I’m a FTM and my c section was a breeze. Almost painless. The biggest challenge was to get up from bed and go to the toilet on the next day. But with the help of painkillers (take them religiously), it’s manageable. I was able to walk up and down the stairs at home shortly after discharge. My recovery was smooth too, no bleeding or any other complications. I didn’t shower during the whole confinement month though, only wiped clean. For the wound, I only applied the scar gel given by my gynae. The scar is barely visible now (15months pp). The one thing I find important is to bring a drinking bottle with straw to the hospital. Then you won’t need to sit up straight for water. Use the hospital bed to help you get up. I turned to my side and then press the button to raise the bed slowly. It helps to reduce discomfort by not engaging our abs too much. You can get the nurse to measure your waist/stomach before buying the belly band, you might be able to get it from the hospital. The band helps to support the wound. Wishing you all the best!
