2020-01-20Hi Mummies, I gave birth to my 2nd born 6 months ago. I have a 2 year old daughter. I am a working mum. I had inserted implanon(birth control) right after my son was born as I had a 2nd C section and doctor did not encourage me to have a 3rd one within 3 years. Recently, I had random mood swings that will trigger and i would be moody and upset with little things. Sometime, i get frustrated with the cries and tantrums from the kids that I would walk away for awhile to compose myself and get back to them.And another moment i would be frantically happy. My kids have been falling sick and it has took a toll on my health and work. Sometime I would get upset with myself, thinking if I had done enough or had done something wrong. I have spoken to my husband and being a man i dont expect him to understand how i feel completely. I have tried to remain positive and planned out schedules to have myself organise etc however, there are those moments that I will be down, tired and run down. I am not as motivated as I was before . How do you even help yourself in this situation?

2020-01-20My last period was on 14 Dec 2019. I've been having regular periods for the last 6 months. I'm supposed to get my period on 13 Jan 2020 according to 2 apps. But I have missed my period for 8 days. I'm having pregnancy symptoms; back pain, lower abdomen pain, light headedness, nausea for the past 5 days. I did HPT about 7 times from the day before my missed period everyday, but it was negative. Today I went to a gynae and he did a scan. He wasn't very helpful in advising but he said there was nothing wrong. But I'm wondering how come I'm experiencing all these pregnancy symptoms that I've never experienced before. Is it still took early to detect or is it some other issue? Feeling really anxious as me and my husband are trying for a child and I don't know anything much about pregnancy other than what I've read online. Thanks in advance!

2020-01-21I had undiagnosed diabetes (I didn't get diagnosed but I was bringing it down with diet control and exercise and it was coming down). Then I got preg. And I went to check my sugar immediately and it was high. Went to Thomson gynae for first visit and she wasn't too concerned. She said don't need meds. She asked me to exercise and cut down on carb. Then happened to go KK emergency because had some discharge. KK doc was very worried about sugar and now I am going to follow up at KK for the sugar (subsidised). At appt with my Thomson gynae, she said if KK prescribes meds.. Just take. Wondering how she went from no meds to take meds. :/ that means if I didn't go KK I would have been doing a disservice to my baby....

2020-01-22Need recommendation to clear baby's ear wax
2020-01-22Hi. Is it a must to shave baby’s head at least once? My in-laws have been nagging to shave it since birth. My son is 15m now, and they still wont let go. They keep telling me shaving is good for the baby. The hair will be even and thicker. Tbh, that doesnt matters to me. And so they changed their statement now. Now they tell me my son cant go into the temple if he doesnt shave. I told them me and my siblings did not shave as well. Why do they insist on shaving it?

2020-01-22Hi, I just started on breastfeeding for my newborn. As my supply is not enough, I was advised to mix feed and only require 30ml of FM per feed.

2020-01-23Hi mummies that put your kids in IFC, what questions do you ask them or look out for during the center visit? I will be sending her to PCF as easy for my in laws to fetch if we late. Any mummies got any feedback on how's pcf? Generally I just see that the environment is bright, airy and clean. And observe how the teachers handle the kids and ask how's the teacher child ratio and no. of kids now. But there's no way to really know whether the teachers will really attend to the kids when they cry or how long they let them cry for? Quite worried as will be sending my LO when she's only 3 mths ? and she requires fair bit of carrying rocking and patting with pacifier to sleep and awakes from her nap v easily n needs to be put back to bed again. Moreover we always pick her up and don't let her cry for long. Also I plan to give ebm for feeding with fm topup, any advice? Must I give in form of 1 bottle every feed and just leave a tin of fm there?

2020-01-23My 3 month old LO has been having diarrhoea for 9 days already. It started last Thursday (16Jan), we brought her to the PD and got Hirasec & Probiotics.PD diagnosed as virus infection. He also said she's if still not well, go back on Monday. PD mentioned to only feed her BM as they're lots of antibodies etc. Monday (20Jan) came & her condition still didn't improve. Went back to the PD & got the same meds. Today (24Jan) is the 9th day & she's still having the runs. Poop wise is yellow & watery, she poops about 7-8 times (big poops would be 3 times a day). She's still very happy & cheerful, smiling as well. She doesn't seem to be in pain. We're not sure if she might suddenly be lactose intolerance or what. Anyone experience similar issues?

2020-01-24Hi, how long do you bleed after vaginal delivery? Does your next period come without a break from the post delivery bleeding?
2020-01-24I'm almost at my 32nd week and during last appt, no. 2 was measured as 70% bigger than average, which is smaller than no. 1, who was 97% bigger than average baby. I was determined to do a Vbac this time round since it has been 5yrs after my last c sect but this time round, gynae's opinion is still on elective c sect due to size of no. 2 head and abdomen, and started telling me about the risk involved for Vbac. I did my research on both and now still 50/50 on which birth to stick to even though my take on c sect is a bit lower. If I'm adamant on Vbac, I might need to change to a pro vbac gynae but even so, the risk of dystocia or chances of me not dilating might just lead to an emer c sect. Elective c sect wud mean baby will be safely delivered but that very long painful process of recovery will taunt me again. In need of other opinions pls.
2020-01-24Hi mummies, which breast pump is better? Medela freestyle or Philips Avent? Thanks
2020-01-24Hi my 6 months old LO just got her 6in1 vaccination. She does not cry much probably cried for 5seconds only for each jab. But once we are home and she was having nap I realise she was crying in her nap and when awake she was fussing alot. She has never did that before so I was dumbfounded and did not know what to do. Please advise what should I do? Should I ask her to cry more after jab to let it out? Pretty sure she was quite traumatised by the jab cause even now she is crying a lil in a sleep. She isn't a baby who cries at all. Even hungry she just scream or make a lil noise to get our attention.

2020-01-25Hello mummies, any of your LO Is Drinking Nan and is 6-7 months old now? My LO is drinking Nan HA now. What I understand is Nan is less sweet compared to other FM ??‍♀️ Cause I have been trying giving LO apples and bananas and she seems to dislike it and have a cry face as if I gave her lemons. I also gave her pigeon cracker and food jar pumpkin, beef and potato from Heinz and she is okay with it. I tasted the cracker and the food jar I gave LO and it's bland. So I wondered if is it the Nan drinking babies will find sweet stuff too pungent for them to take it or is it just individual baby preference? ??‍♀️ If you are sharing same experience as me, please share with me what other food that your LO like and dislike. TIA!

2020-01-252weeks PP. I try to pump every 3hrs & I get about 70ml of milk. I tried pumping every 2 hours but I realised i will get lesser milk. Baby feeding time is not constant.

What can I do to make she get enough?
