- 2019-09-02I was actually waiting for my menses to come, to start the IVF cycle. I had a 28 days cycle last cycle.
On cycle day 30, I realized that I had sore boobs. Yes, it is my pms symptoms, usually come along with headache, and my menses will start 5 to 7 days later . However, no headache for this time.
I was feeling tired every night, slept ard 9+, 10+pm. I thot it is due to falling sick soon, or mayb menses coming soon.
On day 38, I woke up with a bad migraine, nauseous, and diarrhea, it persisted the whole day. I thought I had a stomach flu. GP thot so too. However, when I told her I having a sore boobs for a week alrdy. She decided to do the urine test for me before issuing any med to me, although I was reluctant initially.
She called me in again after result is out.
" Omg! Are u ready to get shocked? Luckily I told u to test! okok u tel me, do u wan baby or dont want baby? "
"Yes I want ! " I couldn't hide my excitement although not feeling well.
"U see the result by urself, 2 lines means pregnant. "
I said "I cant believe it is real omg, we have been trying for 3 years..."
I bought a digital with Pregnant /Not pregnant wording after I left the GP clinic.
I am very happy, but very soon the next day I turned out to be quite anxious about the uncertainty of this pregnancy, I was waiting to see gynae, to meet the little "peppercorn".

- 2019-09-02My boyfriend had separated from his ex-wife for 2 months when we met. After dating him for 5 months, he found out that his ex-wife is pregnant with his child.
It didn’t end our relationship and because I love him, I let him be a father to his child.
Now, the baby is 3 months old and my boyfriend has been spending more time with them.
I think he’s falling back in love with his ex but every time I ask him, he would say he’s only there for their child.
Should I trust him or should I just end our relationship and save myself from getting hurt?

- 2019-09-02Hi All, need your advice on this. Im 30 this yr and is expecting my no. 2. Doc has given me 2 options to choose: paranoma or oscar. Reason why I'm asking is, when I was expecting my no. 1, I did oscar and it showed high risk. We were worried and frightened, in the end, we did another round of test - Amniocentesis (taking amniotic fluid) result came out to be normal (we paid a lot more) and now, my son is turning 4. So, as much as I want to save on the cost and go with Oscar, I'm not sure if I can trust it again. What are you thoughts?

- 2019-09-03My mil is a gentle and nice person. However there is 1 behavior I don't really like about her is she likes to leave her clothes/towel at my place everytime she come to our house for stay. She comes about 1-2 times a year (longest 3 weeks so far). Her reason is because she has more than enough clothes at home so she can spare some here so that she can wear when she come over. And my concern is the room is a guest room, not a room specifically reserve for her, so she shouldn't occupy the wardrobe space eventhough she is not here. Talk to husband about this and he said it's not nice to tell her mom not to put her clothes here, she will feel herself is not welcome and she used to do that at his sis house too. Husband is not so happy too when we talk about this topic. And the next time when my mil comes over she will bring more clothes again as she said she has forgotten she spare some here. Oh well, so the clothes that she put at my place is getting more an more. My LO is coming soon and I really need to spare the wardrobe for my baby.. What should I do with all her clothes..

- 2019-09-05Hi, I'm currently in my 7th week. When I missed my period, I tested with a pregnancy test kit and it showed positive. First time mum so I'm not sure what should I do next. So, I went to the polyclinic and get a referral letter to SGH. However, the appointment date given was 6 weeks later, which by then I would be in my 11th week. Recently, I felt pain in my right abdomen. It's an acute pain and goes away after awhile. Is that normal?
Should I wait till the appointment date to consult the doctor? Or go to the private gynae? I heard private is very expensive. Any recommendations? Confused.
Thanks for reading.

- 2019-09-05Baby Cassandra is one year old this 25 September and she’s still breastfeeding full time. As much as mama enjoying this special bonding moment so much and no planning to wean her off from boobs yet, mama has been thinking to introduce her full cream cow’s milk along with breastfeeding. The reasons are full cream cow’s milk contains calcium and vitamin D, minerals & vitamins are essential in building her strong bones, soon to be a toddler, baby Cass needs nutritious higher fat content food for her growth and brain development and also protein in full cream cow’s milk helps baby Cass in building strong muscles as she grows into an active toddler ❤️ And because her two siblings are having full cream cow’s milk with wholemeal bread as their healthy breakfast choice before going to school, it’s pretty easy to introduce her full cream cow’s milk, she loves to have what her siblings having. She has tried full cream cow’s milk a few times and so far so good. Mama plans to include full cream cow’s milk as part of her daily healthy breakfast choice for her growth and development! Let’s welcome her to toddlerhood where her new world (and mama’s too) will be full of wonder and surprise ❤️ .

- 2019-09-05One tip that helped me: Before making the switch completely, you may consider incorporating full cream milk to your baby’s meals.
This is a throwback to when my little girl was 14 months and I made her a Shepherd’s pie with full cream cow’s milk added to the filling and mashed potato topping. Obviously she didn’t like her side parting. ??? I have also experimented with tomato cream based spaghetti (substitute cream with milk), creamy mushroom chicken risotto, chawanmushi and more!
Do you have other ideas? Share with me in the replies!

- 2019-09-06Help mummies. My LO is 3m20d. I've been direct latching for almost a month now. Previously my MIL and husband did help to bottle feed EBM and fm (wanted to find out which fm suits him). However this whole month he was not bottle fed at all. And now I'm letting him try another brand of fm but he keeps rejecting the bottle. When I offer boob, he'll suck happily. But when offered bottle, he'll cry murder. Please help! My supply is running low therefore I plan to transit to fm slowly..
- 2019-09-06Before pregnant, we kept trying to conceive, and hopefully see the positive sign when tested. Then the 2 weeks waiting.
I always thought once it is positive, it will be ok. Then just do scan every mth to see baby grow. ?how naive am I.
Now then knw that, after get positive, need to scan to confirm see the yolk sac, also another 2 weeks waiting, and keep monitoring and be careful for every step.
Seeing it is growing, praying growing...
It is not simple, mentally, physically. Must be strong. ??
