Can anyone explain the difference between the types of breast pump like the manual ones and wearable ? Can recommend ? So many until I am not sure what to get 🥲

Manual ones have to get bras that can hold or you have to manually hold the pump while pumping. Wearables you can slot into your bra and free your hands. I personally prefer wearables cause I need to multitask since I’m alone with baby so I need my hands. Used babyexpress BeMine & BeFree.

PJ for hospital

Hi Ladies, what PJ are you getting for hospital? Better night gown or normal PJ? Any shops you can recommend?

I wouldn’t get PJ for hospital as it will be messy and you still need to bring additional dirty laundry back home to wash…. I wear hospital gown thru out so even if Kena blood just ask them for a new set.

Currently down with cough for 2 days. Any idea if hard coughings have effects on baby in my womb?

Coughing for 2 days

Won't affect baby but definitely will hurt your tummy like cramp because of the constant cough. Try to take Prospan Cough Syrup.

Hi mommies. I’m curious to know. What is the best milk bottle for babies? Is Hegen good? Or issit famous just cos of trend ? Please help

Hegen didn’t work that well for my baby (she takes very long to drink even tho the teat was fast enough), and the cap failed me many times.. low supply and when the cap detaches, there goes my milk. (Luckily bottle was a free gift from insurance) I’ve tried Hegen, Dr Brown, MAM, Tommee Tippee and Avent. No rejections for all but I still prefer Avent (using Avent Natural). Ultimately it’s up to your baby’s acceptance.

Planned Csect @ 38 weeks.

Hi Mummies! Just wondering if it's too early for a csect to be done at 38 weeks? I'm just curious bcos my first pregnancy, I had to go thru emergency csect at 40 weeks as I wasn't dilating. Then for current pregnancy, I opted for csect straight - to eliminate the unnecessary like previous round. My gynae suggested at 38 weeks but I insisted on 39 weeks. However, I feel so heavy now, experiencing sharp pains at lower tummy and even mild contractions (my gynae is aware). Now on HL and idk if I can stay till 39 weeks like I chose before this. A part of me feels I'm not ready - seems too early. I'm currently at 35 weeks. Please share your thoughts. Thanks!

Trust your instinct and your body. If you can't hold back longer do the C Section now. If you can hold a week more go ahead. As long as you/gynae agree with each other. Also have to consider other health factor, medical issue in regards to pregnancy in order to ensure you have a smooth c section.
