Hi Mommies I just wana check , have u guys ever experience depression while pregnant? Tia

Pregnancy Depression

Hi dear, I haven’t experienced it myself but I just want you to know you’re not alone. I’ve been doing some light yoga, not sure if it helps much but it gives me little moments of calm. Please be gentle with yourself. Sending you love and strength. 💛💛💛

Senior Doctor walking in during birth with Junior doctors

Hi has anyone experienced this before, during labour the Senior doctor just walks in with 4 or 5 junior doctors without even asking permission from you first! Are doctors making use of situations to do such thing! Aren’t they supposed to inform us beforehand that this might happen are we okay with it or not?

Shared Parental Leave

Hi all, I’m a FTM working full-time and 34 weeks today. Looking to apply maternity leave from 37 weeks onwards and then 4 weeks SPL afterwards (remaining with 2 weeks SPL). This year April 2025 onwards as parents are given 6 weeks SPL, my husband decided to give me his share and I will have the full 6 weeks. I would like to know for the remaining 2 weeks SPL I am planning to keep, can I use it like normal annual leave to take anytime? (To use when I have to settle matters for baby) Or how do I go about using the remaining 2 weeks SPL? Thanks! 😊 #firsttimemom

Is anyone there like me in my situation feeling redness under my breast area upper right of my tummy

Redness and pain in upper right of stomach

I just read another post similar to this. Apparently it’s called PUPPP aka Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy. I had this during my pregnancy with my girl previously. Went to the nearest GP and the dr prescribed me steroid cream to ease. It definitely helps

Has anyone requested Hospitalisation Leave (HL) from NUH subsidised gynae before?

I’m currently 30 weeks first time mum and working full-time in the special needs sector. Been seeing high-risk clinic in NUH gynae as a subsidised patient due to few medical conditions, but so far I’m blessed with a stable pregnancy and no major issues (only high risk of pre-eclampsia). Recently I have been feeling stressed and burnt out from my job due to the work environment and wish to apply for 1 month HL from week 36 onwards or earlier to rest at home…will it be possible for gynae to give HL based on my situation? I’ve seen a few posts on HL here but they are quite old. Please advise thank you mummies 🙏

Heard some doctors do that, or if you have run out of your MC. Just check in with them. However, do check your HR policy about this. Certain workplace may actually consider it the start of your ML if you never went back to work before your delivery date ie from when you intend to start your HL till delivery date.
