- 2019-08-19Hi experienced parents,
I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant and this is my first baby. I would like to ask for your advice on choosing a good OBGYN and what we should look out for when choosing a good doctor.
I am currently at KKH under subsidized rates but feeling very uncomfortable as the follow-up has been poor. They gave me some scares initially - bicornuate uterus, threatened miscarriage (3x) and went through a lot of testing but when I ask for results at the next appointment somehow they cannot find it! And I had to press the doctors to look for the results.
After that I decided to go to TMC based on my friends' recommendation. The charges are expensive. The dr is slightly better at follow up but not so reassuring. I have been issues with bleeding everyday (brown spotting) but 3 cases of fresh bleed and I have to keep paying almost $200 each visit when I bleed. Up till now, there is no news on the cause and still waiting for a 2nd infection test.
I'm wondering if anyone went through the same experience and was able to find a good OBGYN who was able to manage all these issues? If not, should I try to be less anxious and stick with TMC and trust the process?

- 2019-08-21Hello beautiful mummies! I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this or have heard about it... I had a miscarriage in early July and haven't had my period since. It's been a month. During my last visit to the doc's appointment, we were told to wait at least for 1 period cycle to pass before trying for another baby. I know it's possible for the HPT to show positive for a few weeks after a miscarriage. But I tested on 14th & 15th Aug, and got a BIG FAT POSITIVE. The line wasn't even faint. There was light spotting at that time too and I thought it was a sign that my period is coming. But nope, no period blood so far. Has anyone here experienced this before? Is it possible to get pregnant again after a month miscarriage and before i get my period? My follow-up appointment is next Thursday ?

- 2019-08-21Hi mummies to be,
I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing joint pain in their fingers? I've been having stiff and swollen joints in my hands the past few days, and it's gotten to a point where it's too painful to hold things or even type. Wondering if anyone has gone through the same thing? Is it safe to visit a chiropractor or TCM for spinal/bone adjustment? Or just leave it alone till I give birth? I don't think my gynae can help me with this except to prescribe painkillers... ?
- 2019-08-21I am 36 weeks and have been feeling the painful movement for about 3 weeks now. The worst for me is when he runs his body parts across my belly button or kicks my bladder.

I am constantly gasping and wincing and jumping from the sharp little twinges of pain.

- 2019-08-24Hi all peeps, I would like to share my conceiving process and I hope it helps. We have been trying it officially for 2 months. (Best to have intercourse every 2days) I did quite a numbers of homework and I have signed up for the talk @ ilovechildren event. They do have a talk annually to guide couple on how to conceive and how to take care of babies. Link : https://ilovechildren.sg/ you guys can go read up on the website which they guide you through on how to get pregnant and what are the things that you need to check. Example, go for fertility check for both(husband & wife) , my advise is that you should try naturally for a few months up to a year before you go for fertility check but if u do have irregular period, please go directly for a check up and get advise from the doctor to re-solve the issue(you may try TCM too).
Things that we did and consume :
**Supplement**
Female : Folic acid is a must and you should start taking at least 1 month in advance before trying to conceive (you can get it at any pharmacy. The brand that I took : Blackmores(attached with image) )
Male : attached with image too
**Period/Ovulation Tracking App**
1. Use app to track your period and ovulation days(Suggested app : my calendar, flo). I have attached with the cycle chart to calculate and estimate your ovulation day. You can give it a try but do test with the ovulation kit early to find out the exact day. It a must to have intercourse before and after ovulation to have higher chance of conceiving.
**Ovulation strip/kit*
2. Purchase the ovulation test strip/test kit(you can find the strip online at Lazada, Shopee or Qoo10) if you want it fast you may get the test kit from any pharmacy. I get it from pharmacy first while waiting for the strips to be delivered.
Once the ovulation kit gets positive, have intercourse straight away. (Typically ovulation lasts 12 to 24 hours, and for some, it can last up to 48hours.) Guide : Ovulation strip/kit test it twice per day, morning and night near your fertile days or start testing a few days before actual ovulation.
**Intercourse frequency**
3. 2-3days to have intercourse(missionary position) sometimes you do feel tired and no mood for it and there this brand do help to enhance the intercourse, increases and support sperms mobility (Brand : Pre-seed)
**Posture after intercourse**
4. Lift your leg up high and lean against the bed for about 30min for the sperm to flow in. (advise from YouTube video) if you don't plan to try lifting leg up, you can place a small pillow at the butt to lift your butt higher for 30min or rest 30min before visit the washroom.
Wish all Couple good luck and hope you will get good news soon after trying my method.
All the best?!
