Tips to deal with 3rd Trimester woes.

Mommies & soon to be mommies - how do you deal with mid - late 3rd trimester woes while working? I can't for the life of me go to work a single week w/o taking an mc. It's always either sore pains, back pains, headaches or woke up late cos insomnia. I go to bed at 1030pm and still wakes up at 3am and then can't fall back asleep. WFH is a no no in my company- such bs. Tips please!

I don’t have WFH as well because my company don’t believe in it 🙄 and worked all the way till week 38. Delivered at week 39. To be honest, thinking back now, I don’t know how I get through it but it’s probably all about how you try to press on and endure. Thinking I need a job and money helped me too 😂 you will be surprised by yourself on how you did it too. I was always sleepy at work because I couldn’t sleep well at night. I will take a quick and short nap during lunch break if possible. Even 5-10 minutes is satisfied for me. Nevertheless, just try your best and press on your baby. Jia you!

Diabetes mummies

Hi mummies, I have diabetes on insulin and it's my first pregnancy about week 6+. Always feeling hungry and nausea. What can I eat and drink to feel full and eat as snacks without affecting my sugar.? #firsttimemom

I will suggest looking for dietician to plan your meals so you can get a balanced and filling diet. However, some foods that doesn't raise blood sugar that much are: 1) leafy vegetables 2) Nuts 3) Chia Seeds 4) Eggs 5) Avocados 6) Unsweetened Yoghurt 7) Berries (eg. strawberries/raspberries/blueberries/blackberries) 8) Fish (esp. Salmon, Trout, mackerel, halibut)

OP (sunny side up) position

hello fellow mummies! i’ve just gone for my week 37 gynae appt and was being told that bb was at an occiput posterior (aka sunny side up) position & was not told that bb was in this position on my prev appts.. this may cause labor to be more difficult and higher chance for ecsect.. i’m wondering if there are any fellow mummies out there who has experienced this too? and if there’s a chance for bb to turn and not stay in this position?

Raw veggies are not recommended. But depends on how conservative you are :)

Random vent: feels like giving up @ 34weeks

I'm in my 3rd trimester and full term is reaching around the corner. I was just discharged from the hospital for suspected pre term labour. I have my family with me & my husband. But it's not the same as having my mom. I miss her. She passed away in 2015. My in laws have not seen us in forever because of a family dispute & even tho I know sometimes it hurts my husband, I still feel lonely. And scared. And unsure. My department has been the best in terms of work support. Everytime I feel a little down or sick and took an mc, they're understanding. My manager have always telling me to take care of myself and baby. Recently I got an advise memo from my doctor for an WFH arrangement in my last few weeks. My manager approves for it, but now HR & upper management is sitting on it not giving an answer. And I feel like shit. The building that I'm working at is an old building. So no lifts. Everyday at work I have to climb 2 flights of stairs to the office. It may not be much to some, but I'm trying to avoid anything and everything that makes baby lower into the cervix earlier than she should be. Today I woke up with sore legs & leg cramps. & maybe it's lightning crotch but it hurts a little bit too at the groin area. And since morning I've been feeling depressed/down/sad & I can't put a finger to it as to why. I'm waiting for husband to get home to go to the clinic to get an mc because he doesn't want me going out alone. I hope the rest of you have a better day than me.
