Induced at week 40

I am a first time mom. I wonder if it is normal to be induced? 🥲

There's every reason why EDD will be till 40 weeks. There are people up till 42 weeks (which is rare). Every pregnancy will be different. There are mummies that give birth as early as 36 weeks. If this is your first pregnancy, it might take longer. There are some ladies give birth after their EDD. And doctor/gynae will suggest whats the best options for safety of baby and mummy. I was told to come back at 41 weeks despite the dilation of 3cm. My waterbag did not burst at all throughout the 1 week even with membrane swab at 40 weeks. Baby was fully engaged, waterbag so full. When I was induced, hours later I only felt contractions in labour after doctor burst the waterbag for me. It is very unbearable the pain. I manage to pull through till birth. All the best mummy 🤗

I am 36 weeks and having pelvic pain is it normal

Having pelvic pain

It is totally normal, your baby maybe turning head down and perhaps slowly entering the pelvic area putting pressure (engaged). You will feel pain and have regular toilet visit as well.

Rum and raisin ice cream

I'm at 37 weeks pregnant and craving for rum and raisin ice cream-only ate a tablespoon scoop. Will baby be OK? This is my 2nd time. Previously I was at 36 weeks pregnant and ate a tablespoon scoop too but felt hot and a little drunk. So I tested out again just now..felt a little hot but not drunk. But then again don't think the ice cream can make me drunk?

Highly suggest for you to not have the rum raisins ice cream. Sometimes, baby cant accept it or just your tastebud/body hence avoid it and choose other flavour.

Week-39 of pregnancy

For the past two days, I’ve been experiencing yellowish discharge; however, I haven’t had any signs of contractions. Also, last check up, I am 2 cm dilated. Does anyone experiencing the same situation as me?

It might be soon that you will deliver. If there's signs of contractions, mucus plug, blood on your pantyliner, you may call labour ward/gynae to inform them. Since your cervic already at 2cm opening, it should be anytime soon. Just prepare labour bag and the necessary. Unless, they ask you to hold on. Because Ive been in a situation where I am at 3cm opening, but no waterbag burst up to a week and requires induce to speed up labour as well as opening. 🤗

Tongue Tie Treatment in Singapore

Hi parents, We would like to ask any suggestions on tongue tie treatment in Singapore. Do suggest us on good Drs, and treatment plans you have experience 🙏🏻 Our 5day old baby has been struggling with latching while attempting to breast feeding since birth. She will cry , push my breast away as hard as she can. After many attempts to breastfeed we can see something is not right. And I remember i come across information on tongue tie years back. Didn’t realise is now may be a strong issue to our beautiful baby.

Have to go to the dentist, the normal PD doesn't consult for tongue tie. Can look for Dr Thabitha.

IUGR/FGR, 1.9kg @ 35 weeks

Hi mummies, my baby is at the 3rd percentile weight & currently weighs 1.9kg at 35 weeks. Scheduled to be induced at 37 weeks. Been eating ALOT ever since in the hopes to gain baby weight. Any mummies who had similar experiences? Care to share how can I boost my baby weight & how heavy was your baby at birth? Needing moral support as I am really anxious & worried! Thank you! 💕

try eating more protein. chicken, eggs. avocado milkshake helps too.
