How many ultrasound scan during pregnancy? Anyone got poked too hard during scan?

I’m under subsidised route at kkh, I’ve had about 3 scans now, week 6, week 12, and week 20 which is recently. The week 20 scan hurt so much as the nurse was trying to get all the arms, legs and kidney and heart measurements. And she also poke too rough to my stomach and shake/slap my belly a few times to make my baby move. Is that normal? She seems like middle age lady from China. Now I’m scheduled to have another scan after 4 weeks, but I’m scared it will be too rough again.

girl you got to voice out. Well that's what I did, i don't like being treated that way. You don't like it, say something.

One off bleeding 23 weeks

Hi mummies, I had sudden bleeding (blood trickling down my legs) for around 10mins after a hot shower. Went to gynae immediately and did a vaginal and urine test but could not find any bleeding in the vagina or urine. Gynae could not diagnose the cause of bleeding but put me on bedrest for 4 days. I have low lying placenta though at my 20 week scan. Do you all have similar experience? Very worried #1stimemom

I had same experience, bleed like 1st day of period. rush to gynae but unavailable to find any blood. 🤷‍♀️ baby is 13month old now n healthy 😊

Frequency of baby kicking

Hi. I’m 24 weeks pregnant and I have observed that my baby does not kick very often during a day. Should I be worried? Next check will be in 4 weeks’ time.

only be worried if it’s not often after 28 weeks. it’s normal that it’s still not often at this stage.

Hi, has any mommy been prescribed Lovenox/ Heparin shots to help with blood coagulation? How is the baby now? My lab test shows high d-dimer (1.8) during 20 weeks and prescribed it by self injection in the fatty part of belly every 48 hours till 28 weeks. Just want to understand if this condition is rare or prevalent.

When I contracted covid at 19 weeks, I was given enoxaparin sodium injections, which should be the same as lovenox. The assessment was to prevent blood coagulation as I have diabetes, covid and pregnant, which poses a higher risk for blood coagulation. However, it was only during the period when I was covid positive. Thereafter, I didn’t have to continue with it anymore.

Any advise/thoughts of taking a short career break after 1st kid's arrival?

Hi Mummies, i am a first time mum and I have been thinking a lot about taking a short career break after my 4mths maternity. My current work place is very very toxic (even while I am pregnant) and the industry I am in isn't exactly family friendly. I have never taken any work breaks or had gaps between jobs the past 8yrs. This is the first time I am giving a short career break some serious thought. Was thinking to resign after 4mths maternity and take a 3 to 4mths break before I start looking around for a new job in a different industry. Financially, I can afford to be out of work for 12mths. Anyone ever in the same boat? Any advise? I'm just worried #1stimemom #pregnancy #advicepls #pleasehelp #firstbaby #motherhood

be advised though, future employees may not take too kindly to the short gap, even if it’s only a few months..
