Feeling emotional at 33 weeks pregnancy

I am in my 3rd trimester and i have been feeling very emotional and occasionally just start crying for no reason. I also find it hard to sleep at night, many nights i will wake up like every 2 hours and cannot sleep. I keep telling myself not to feel like that as it might affect my baby and my husband too. Any other mummies have same symptoms?

Me too 33weeks. Couldn’t sleep at night and if I woke up to go toilet, I couldn’t sleep back. Took many unpaid leave already but no choice. No energy to wake up in the morning to get ready to work and prepare my 2 girls to school.

Obese and blood thinner

Anyone here is obese and pregnant? And has been prescribed blood thinner to reduce the risk of getting pre-eclampsia? Im in that situation but the blood thinner is causing me to vomit more than usual and when i vomit, its literally squeezing my stomach till only clear mucus comes out. And it gets very painful. When i go to the gynae, they say its not a must to continue but encouraged too. So anyone have been obese during pregnancy but didnt take blood thinners? Did everything turn out fine? 🥺

KKH subsidised first consultation

Hi mummies, based on reading, I understand that during first consultation (early pregnancy weeks) there will be transvaginal scan. For those who met male doctors, are they the ones performing the procedure or will a female nurse be doing so? Just feeling anxious about it... Any other concerns over male or female docs? TIA for sharing your experience! =)

There will be a female chaperone, usually the clinic assistant, beside regardless if a male or female gynae doing the transvaginal scan for you. Not to worry!

Szechuan preserved vegetable soup

Is szechuan preserved veg soup (四川菜湯) safe for pregnancy? I’m in my first trimester and have been having cravings for savoury food. I’ve seen mixed response on the internet about preserved food. Just wondering if it’s safe to drink the soup (and not eat the veg)? #firsttrimester #foodcravings #pregnancy

Caesarean section recovery-NUH

Hi, first time mom here and considering elective caesarean section at NUH. Highly appreciate some advice from mummies! 1. Any moms able to share about their recovery process for C-section? And whether it is at NUH or other hospitals. 2. Would you be able to breastfeed on the day of operation? Does the pain makes breastfeeding challenging afterwards? 3. For the wound, does NUH tends to use dissolvable stictches or would it be some kind of plaster? Did the scar heal fairly well afterwards? Thanks in advance!
