My Orders

It’s 18 weeks for me, first-time mum to be. While the physical symptoms are much better, the emotions are a tough one to manage. I guess it’s a mixture of my own work (stressful, long days), feeling alone (we are planning and managing on our own since our families can’t really assist much), planning for what happens next (caregiving plans, duties, my own masters that is to be completed while I’m on maternity) and uncertainty (hubby may be changing job during the third trimester). I feel like an emotional wreck this week and was completely exhausted after some tough days at work. It’s hard to name these emotions / tell hubs about it - which tbh, he may not exactly understand either….. Any tips from anyone? 🥺

*hug* i suggest talking to your hub.. sometimes we just need someone to talk to to clear our heads.. it might not go away but it definitely will lighten the load within yourself ♡ don be too hard on yourself. just do your best.. things will eventually turn out fine 😊😊

Studying in third trimester/during maternity leave

Hi all, I will have to complete my Masters along the pregnancy and I am aware it’s gonna be tough since I am also working part-time….. I am thinking of either taking : 1) 2 modules in the third trimester, 2 electives during maternity leave or 2) 1 module in the third trimester, 1 module + 2 electives during maternity leave I’ve been debating in my head and cannot come to a decision. Any mums / fresh mums with any advice? I’m currently in my second trimester with my first child so…..I have insufficient experience as you can tell……so advice on the above options with be helpful!

suggest option 1 so that you can have more time and space to enjoy your newborn, learn to care for your baby and rest and recover!

Anxious……..

I’m at 16 weeks but to be honest it worries me because at this point, the morning sickness/symptoms have mostly reduced and…1) I don’t feel much, 2) I don’t feel baby kicking and 3) my baby bump is…..very little (almost none, not sure if I’m imagining it at this point). I will only have my next appt at the 20th week so tbh, I’m not sure what to do with this newfound anxiety in this 4-week wait……. (Not to mention additional family things causing me extra stress/concerns….) Anyone has advice….?

I was like you. But don't worry as long as you never see blood, baby should be fine. Just continue to eat your vitamins and a balanced diet. At 16 weeks, it's still early to feel the baby kicks. I don't feel it too at 16 weeks but my baby is fine. Honestly at 16 weeks my bump isn't very big either compared to my pregnant friend but everyone is different.

Travel to Hokkaido at 22 weeks

Hi! I am wanting to travel to Hokkaido during the 22nd of pregnancy. Does anyone have any advice? A part of me is wondering if I should give up the travel (though I really want to go and not going makes me sad….) just to be on the safer side (I mean, it would be safe and it saves money as well….). It’s so hard to decide … So far, my pregnancy is pretty ok in terms of risk just that I guess as a first time mum, there’s that….anxiety….

me too, and my thoughts are this might be the last trip I get to go with just my husband. in the future our trips will focus on the kid, with farm visits and theme parks, which will be equally exciting, but trips won't be the same. i checked with my gynae and was given the green light. she did give some precautions, like don't stay in the same position for too long, taking it easy and not walk too much. you probably should check with your gynae too. :)

First appointment

Hi all, I’m on my ?5th week and have gotten a polyclinic referral to NUH O&G. They have given me the appt for a month later (would be the 9th week). I’m having quite a bit of cramps (feels like mensus) without blood. Any experienced mamas who can share with me what to expect during the first appt? Thank you!

hi i have this cramp on and off too. 5th week as well
