Mummy of 2
Sore gums
Hi Mummies, this is my second pregnancy. Currently slightly less than 7 weeks. For the past 3 days I had aching gums. I lost sleep. Seen the GP and was given Panadol and antibiotics. Not sure if it’s actually common for Mummies to have this pain. The gums will swell more at night.
Dip in milk supply
Hi Mummies My LO is about 16 months old and I had good supply of milk previously. Recent week, I noticed the dip in milk supply. 2 sessions/day of 600-700ml expressed milk (used to have about 1 litre plus a day when she was younger is becoming about 300 ml only. I decided to take the pregnancy test and indeed I’m about 5 weeks pregnant . May I check if anyone with similar experience has your supply to dip so much due to pregnancy ?
Menses after postpartum
Hi Mummies, My menses cycle prior having a baby was timely. (I think) my menses was back after 6 weeks postpartum. Now I’m at my 13th weeks postpartum but my menses hasn’t returned. I begin to wonder if that 4 days was actually menses or lochia... I’m an EP mummy. I was wondering if it was indeed menses but breast feeding affected the cycle. Do you have a similar experience?
Menses Postpartum
Hi Is it possible to be having menses after 6 weeks of postpartum despite exclusively breastfeeding?
Crying newborn can’t sleep at night
Hi! My 10 day old LO zzzz a lot in the day but when it’s past midnight till 3-4am she will look uncomfortable and cries quite a bit. It looks like her tummy hurts cos it looked slightly bloated. She hasn’t been drinking formula milk (used to top up with Dumex Dulac). Since ysd she has been on expressed breast milk. She doesn’t latch very well and gets frustrated ? Anyone has similar experience? I wonder if my EBM makes her feel sick.
Baby Movements and Contractions
Hi! My baby seems to be moving a lot more than usual. We are at week 37 and I thought she should have less space to move that much! My stomach tightens a number of times and it gets rather uncomfortable. It feels like I need to pee every while but it’s not much pee. : ( Not sure if I’d expect labour pains soon. This makes me nervous!
Subsidised Patient & Delivery in KKH
Hi Mummies Could you kindly share on your experience for delivery in KKH as a subsidised patient? What I heard from the nurses was there will be a team of midwifes assisting wo specific dr. Wonder if it’s the same for natural or c-sec.. Any idea if you can change to A ward after delivery? My next appointment will be at my week 38 and they have not spoken to me about bill size or birth plan. Thanks!
Cystectomy during 3rd Trimester
Hi mummies I underwent open cystectomy due to the ovarian cyst torsion 2 weeks ago @ my week 32. I’m thankful baby is still in my womb. Any of you went through the same emergency surgery during pregnancy to remove cysts and can share how long does it take for the pain from the surgery to be gone or at least feel better?
Subsidised to Private Patient in KKH
Hi Mummies, May I check how do I become a private patient in KKH? Currently in my 28 weeks and enjoying the subsidised consultation. Not sure how the process is like or how long it’d take to secure an appointment with the preferred gynae/obgyn
Confinement Nanny
Hi Mummies! I read that we need to book the confinement nanny early. I’m due in Aug. I am at a loss to whether or not to engage one cos of the limited space at my in-laws’. Would getting a confinement nanny really be necessary/helpful?
