Slow Fetal Cardiac Activity at 5.5weeks

Hi I’m having an IVF pregnancy. Went for my first scan at what was supposed to be 6 weeks but there was only a gestational sac and yolk, no fetal pole. Went for second scan yesterday a week later and there was fetal pole and heartbeat detected. Embryo dated at 5.5weeks but heartbeat noted to be slow and recommended for a follow up scan. Anyone had the same experience? Would love to hear stories if their babies managed to catch up or that the pregnancies developed smoothly after. This is really quite agonising - like I’m happy that there’s a heartbeat now but also don’t dare to let myself be happy too in case it’s not viable. After the first visit I had already prepared myself for the worst so it’s really a rollercoaster of emotions.

Visible yolk sac but no fetal pole at 6 week scan

Hi! Just had my 6 week scan. There was visible yolk sac but no obvious fetal pole seen. A little worried. Does this mean it’s still early or that the pregnancy is not viable? I’m also experiencing light bleeding since 6 days ago.

Would appreciate reviews on the above, especially with regards to the teachers, environment and curriculum. Thanks very much in advance!

Feeding barley water to baby?

I have a 3 month old baby who will be going for his vaccination soon. My mum keeps asking me to feed him barley water before and after his jab to prevent a fever. I am not keen to feed my baby anything other than milk in his first 6 months though. Any thoughts? Did any of you feed barley water to your baby at 3 months? Or you’d rather wait too.

Skin discolouration on neck

Hi any mummies know what this is and how to treat it? Started with what I thought was a heat rash on my LO’s neck. After putting QV cream for a few days the bumps have disappeared but I noticed some discolouration on his skin. Not sure what it is and am a bit worried.

Post-pregnancy check up at KKH

Just went for a pp check up at KKH and was told to go for a mammogram at the polyclinic at my own time. Apparently it’s routine and recommended after pregnancy. Did anyone else go for it too? Just wondering if there are any implications to do a mammogram if I’m breastfeeding and if there is a recommended time to go ie after how many months. (I intend to breastfeed for a year).

KKH - newborn care after delivery

Mummies who gave birth at KKH (subsidised), can I check if the nurses will teach / show you basic steps on how to care for the baby e.g., bathing, changing diapers) before your discharge?

KKH B2+ Ward for Delivery

Anyone gave birth at KKH recently? Heard that they are no longer offering the B2+ wards (at least for now). Anyone experienced this?
