Unstable emotions
Hi mummies, just for ranting. I am an over thinker myself before pregnancy bt i guess its getting overloaded with this hormonal change. I find myself getting overly emotional, overly thinking abt so many things which disturbs my feelings. At times, im able to sleep it off or turn it off my mind bt at times, i realize that i dont knw hw to hide it. My body language, my expression will tell it off. I feel bad for my husband bcoz this tghts mainly involving him. I can out of the blue feels that i am not worthy to compare to the great ladies of his past. Like i feel i dont do him justice. Like i feel as though he has lost his charms bcoz of me. I still always finds me the warmth of eyes and he is charming always to me. But its just wen something small triggers, den i wld start to compare hw he was previously as to hw he was nw with me. I am a plain jane to begin with. A simple mom who does simple mom duties as my current kids were all grown up. I work and rarely cooks, which makes me feel less of a wife. I dont dress well, i dont cooks well, i dont clean as often. I feel so unpretty at times, comparing hw some mom glows so much and still maintaining their figure despite being pregnant. And i feel embarassed for him. Like he is such a fine man, walking next to a walking dugong i guess hahaha. Bt ya, its been really disturbing. I knw being emotional isnt good for my baby bt well, i didnt ask to be this emotional
Obimin - multi vitamins
Hi mummies, seeking yr tghts on my concerns. Im on my 14th weeks and its has been close to 2weeks that ive choose to not take obimin. Typically bcoz i felt that every time i take tbe obimin, im experiencing with nausea, fatigue, morning sickness and its kind of bothering me. Ive highlighted to a gynae before and was adv to take it only at night to feel lesser side effects. Bt it proves me wrong coz the side effects kicks in d nxt morning. I am partially guilty for nt taking it coz im on a high risk pregnancy bt taking it is taking a big toll of me. I feel so down and tired. Nt taking it, im eating prettt well, up & about doing daily routines etc. Is there anyone who choose to not take obimin? What are the alternatives food/fruits i can replace with?
Will taking cough meds harm the pregnancy? [13-weeks]
Hi mummies, I have been having a very chesty, phlegmy dry cough for close to a week. It all started frm my flu den it escalated to cough. Severe headaches come in between bt it went off for a quite a while. Wen dat happen, i took the normal panadol which was previously prescribed by a GP. Bt my overthinking mind is nt to take too much as i fear the condition of my baby. Bt my cough doesnt goes away, in fact, it escalate to me losing my sense of taste. My nose got blocked. I tried some home remedy, bt doesnt goes away. I tried to force myself to eat something with spice or sour taste bt none triggers my taste buds. Though i manage to get some of it, bt it just thoroughly disappointing wen i cant tastw watever im eating/drinking. My husband has asked me to see a GP to get treated. Im just worried having to take too much medication at this period bt im too weak to hold d pain & self healed. Wenever i cough, i always fear for the baby. Bt it is safe?
Pregnant after surviving cancer
Hi mummies, Am into my 12-weeks pregnancy today. This wld be my 4th child however dis baby is different frm his/her older siblings. As baby was conceive 2 years post my breast cancer treatment. I have been on remission since 2020, surviving a stage 3 breast cancer. Though its 4th, hwever, i felt totally different in my pregnancy journey. Im literally more tired den usual. Tried to fight it off, bt i always find myself catching my breathe. Im kind of hungry bt no food seems satisfying for me & if i eat just to have something on, i tend to vomit out everything. I can easily doze off & just dont feel like doing anything & everything. Wen things were gd, i will get myself out bt most time, i will get tired. Nt sure if its due to my low immune as i was previously treated with chemo or it is kind of "normal" at dis stage? Wen will i get to feel really normal? Can to share hw u guys overcome fatigueness, laziness, sleepiness & appetite matters during this period?
