Am I in an early sign of labour?

In the morning, I woke up with a sharp pain at groin area (contraction?). When I was walking to toilet, I felt like an amount of water flowing. I thought it was my urine, got a shock when my urine color a bit reddish.. I tried to pee again abt 15 mins later and got blood discharge with mucus, and as I got up, I felt got water coming out again.. I put on a pad and within an hour, not fully wet, but, got a bit brown discharge.. Is this considered early sign of labour? How long does it usually last? Btw, I also having cramp like menstrual cramps and I can feel baby is moving also.

Sounded like your water bag burst. Better go to hospital or call up your gynae

Instant oats for GDM?

I was just diagnosed to have GDM today :( only next week then consult with dietitian. At the moment, I am trying to plan my diet plan for my breakfast as I usually will get the simplest possible. Do you all know whether I can put instant oats (Quaker Oat) into my diet? I most likely will add a bit of milo powder to give the taste. Thanks. #advicepls

should be ok but portion wise can’t be too much either. milo powder has a lot of sugar, try adding cinnamon powder instead

Appetite in second trimester

I wonder how are others moms'appetite in your 2nd trimester? I am currently at my 17 weeks, wouldn't say that my appetite is fully back. I eat only because I'm hungry, but with no appetite and I am not really enjoying my foods. No specific foods cravings... Wonder whether it will be much better in coming weeks....

it’s normal, some mummies are the same too. as long as you’re eating, don’t have to worry so much

Pregnant with PCOS

I read in article that those pregnant with PCOS medical history is at higher risk of developing pregnancy complications. I had a miscarriage at 7-8weeks early this year and was with SGH as a subsidized patient. I took test this morning and it's positive. I maybe in my 4weeks pregnant now. Should I go visit a gynae soon? I wonder anyone has any advice for me whether to go to high risk clinic at SGH or NUH? Thx in advanced!

Hi, congratsss mom!! Im diagnosed PCOS also, and currently im 25weeks. If you want to get an exact answer from gynae, go visit ur gynae. Its surely exciting to get that happy news! :) but as my experience, when i found i pregnant 4 or 5week & try to make appointment with gynae, they still let me wait for the doctor availability schedule & turn out i visit gynae on 8week. Maybe you can try to go KKH. Furthermore, stay healthy & take care! Nothing is impossible.. ☺️
