Cramps at week 37 especially throughout the night

Anyone experienced bad cramps at week 37? Mine happens mostly at night and I couldn't sleep at all due to the bad cramps. Its a combination of tightening of the tummy and lasted for an hour plus. I could manage to only sleep for an hour before awaken by cramps again and couldn't go back to sleep as the cramps is there for another hour or so. Also, it accompanied with tummyache which I went (not constipation and not diarrhea). No bleeding, water bag didn't burst. Last week went to gynae and was told that I am not dilated yet.

Same, it happened to me also this morning. I went to kkh women’s emergency but doctor said not dilated yet.

Parenting Style

Recently me and my husband have been arguing over different parenting style. We are both working full time so we agreed to let my in laws to care for my LO. However, things started to be a little out of control when my in laws couldn’t care for my LO at most times. They will be caring for other grandchildren, bringing my LO to car rides while chauffeuring other grandchildren, make frequent plans to travel and expecting me and my husband to take leaves to care for my LO in their absence. I suggested to send my LO to infant care and in this case, everyone will be happy and convenient. We as the parents can work without worries, my LO can get proper care and attention and my in laws can care for their grandchildren and travel as and when they want to. But it seems like I’m the only one who like this idea. My husband and my in laws are strongly against sending my LO to infant care saying that she has missed watching her kids growing up so she want to make up. But in my mind, this is my kid, not yours, why do you wanna interfere with how I want to raise my kid just because you missed your chance? HELP!!!

I totally agree with what is in your mind! 🙌🏼 It will be good if your hubby is on the same page with you, if not it will be difficult on your end. Infant care is a good idea if you not keen for the in-laws to continue looking after your LO. If not, maybe can explore the idea of hiring a helper?

Anyone know what is this ? Im on 3 month postpartum

Anybody know why is this happening? I never encounter this issue before;(

Anyone know what is this ? Im on 3 month postpartum

Your hormones are changing mommy. I was super dry no matter how much I drink and scrub and moisturise after giving birth. I had 3-4 eye stye on both eyes for almost two months straight. Nothing we can do about it. It will fade eventually, just be patient with yourself. You are still recovering.

Postpartum urinary incontinence

Anyone encountered the above? PP day 23 and before birth I am able to pee halfway and then hold my urine for a few seconds, but after vaginal birth, I have difficulty controlling my urine. It is so upsetting. . When will this pass? Sigh .. Just a note, when I was in hospital - they had to put me on urine catheter (it was painful and super uncomfy for me) as I couldn't pass urine after giving birth. Till now I still feel the slight pain / uncomfortable feeling when I urine

For vaginal birth some will experience either difficulty to pee or cant control pee. Therefore advise to do kegel exercise or a proper post natal massage to "correct" your womb area. This help to better control pee/easily help you pee. If this is a prolong concern please do visit doctor and let them know.

Storing breast milk in office

Hello! Was wondering if anyone can share how they store breast milk and which bags / cooler they use when they need to pump in office and be able to store it for at least 5 hours? And would you recommend the method you tried? Thank you!

I use CeresChill. Save me the hassle frm bringing cooler bag, milk bags etc! I've tried leaving it out for more than 8 hours and still cold. That was when I was on holiday on a road trip. In the office, I just leave it in the fridge but sometimes I do not even have time to walk to the pantry, so I just leave it on my desk. Expensive but really worth the investment.
