2024-11-18I am going for induced labour this Thurs. The last few days I have been tearing when I think of my baby leaving my tummy soon. I can't wait to see her but I am going to miss her and her movements in my tummy so much. It has been a wonderful pregnancy journey with her. I think I'm going to miss pregnancy... 🥲

2024-11-18Hi, currently pregnant baby#3. For my #1, I failed the glucose test n had GDM. For my 2nd, I also had GDM but my results were higher than 1st. I took metformin for 2nd pregnancy. Now I'm worried for the 3rd pregnancy I just found out I'm pregnant. 1st baby: didn't do postpartum test (can't rmb if required to test but need to aft 1yr of giving birth) but was pregnant b4 1yr 2nd baby: do postpartum test and result still showed I failed. So the nurse told me to follow up 1yr at polyclinic, pregnant again b4 1yr test Is it possible for my 3rd if I didn't get GDM? I'm currently trying to limit my diet n try to take lesser carbs whenever I can. I'm also eating in lesser portion now. GDM really makes me feel so useless as a mom. I know it's caused by hormones n placenta but I can't help feeling so down abt it. Is there any other way to help bring down the sugar levels without relying just on meds? And also is it possible if I had GDM again but don't require to take metformin?
2024-11-18Hi mummies, I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant. Been dealing with back pain and leg cramps lately. How often do you recommend getting prenatal massage?
2024-11-18As my bb grows older, my in laws have been dropping hints they want to bring her out when she is older or take care of her. However, I am against it unless my husband is there with her. I just don’t trust them enough. There’s many reasons for me to be feeling this way. To name a few, my in laws make fun of my baby’s name, my in laws always pass comments that are negative to my baby such as she is a crybaby and even bad comments to me and my mil likes to run her mouth like of all the things she could say to a baby she choose to say shit things? I did have several arguments with my husband about how he should manage his mother. And he did all he can but his mother head is harder than a rock. Im not surprised if my husband ever tell her off she would cut off ties with him lol. Anyway, aside from all of that my mil don’t listen to me when I tell her to pass me the baby back when my baby clearly don’t want her, or when I tell my mil things to take note of when handling the bb like how my bb likes to be carried and all. Im not being controlling but my mil really thinks she know it all. Im the one who take care of my baby of course I know and I wouldn’t ask her to do it in a certain way if my baby is fine? But my baby is hysterically crying. From the day I gave birth to this very day, she make me feel miserable. I also know she will go against whatever my husband and I tell her if we leave our baby there. My baby has eczema so oats and rice are not recommended to be fed as of now. My MIL thinks she is a doctor and thinks my baby can be fed that. I always have to tell her many times DON’T DO THIS AND THAT. Trust me I respect my in laws, never once raised voice whatsoever, I always end up crying after I meet them , but I feel like I tolerated way too much. I can only hold in so much. The only reason I am still seeing her is because I pity my husband. He told her off many times nicely, but she is stubborn as heck. Anyway, this is just a rant. I hate how before I was pregnant and was pregnant, she kinda left me alone but after baby comes out she becomes nosy. Actually, when it took my husband and I some time to have our baby, she passed comment on how I should fix myself to get pregnant lol. Anyway, also my in laws see my daughter as a product to show off. Post my baby face here and there without asking. Want to bring her out and take care of her when she is bigger. They only want her when its convenient for them. They did nothing to support me and my husband after I gave birth. Only give me depression. Hate is a strong word but I think I have finally hate them.

2024-11-18Hi mummies, I’m currently 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant, 3cm dilated but not yet in active labor. So far, I haven’t experienced any contractions not even Braxton Hicks contractions, just a slight pressure in my pelvic area. I’ve scheduled an induction at 41 weeks, but I’m feeling so anxious. I really hope to avoid being induced or needing a c-section. If you’ve been in a similar situation, I’d love to hear your experiences—anything to help ease my mind. I know some women naturally go into labor even well past their due dates, so I’m holding onto hope!😮‍💨🫶

2024-11-19Hey mom I’m a breastfeeding mom my baby hasn’t poop for 5-6 days can I eat more fruits to help my baby poop? Will that help? My baby so conspitated I even tried massaging but she still haven’t poop
2024-11-19Hoping for some emotional support! Have been nervous and anxious for my 2nd doctor's appointment tomorrow. Last one was 2 weeks ago where based on LMP suppose to be 6w6d but scan shows 5weeks+. Doctor asks to come back two weeks later and hoping can see my baby's heartbeat tomorrow. Had a missed miscarriage last year for my 1st pregnancy at 7w+. Maybe this adds to my anxiousness. Plus not been experiencing much symptom except a little sore nipples and boobs, frequent peeing (maybe because I drink more water too) and occassionally fatique. Hoping some mummies who were in similar boats for some inspiration and support. Thanks! #ultrasound #7week
2024-11-19Hi Mummies, I gave birth recently and am currently doing confinement. Having to latch, breastfeed, recovery while coping with lack of sleep is really exhausting. On top of that, my husband isn't taking initiative to help out. I am someone who is relatively independent and if it's possible, I very much do things on my own when I can. But because I am in recovery, it's tough to bend or do any cleaning etc. I was also advised to rest more after delivery. Every time will need to request for help before he does anything. I'm so exhausted about everything..

2024-11-20My baby is almost 8 months old. He’s teething this month and had mild flu. He’s refusing milk (formula bottle) during every feed. I’m stressed as he’s losing weight and always cranky. Any advice how to encourage him to drink?

2024-11-20My husband just started his new job three weeks ago and will not be getting any paternity leave as I’m due in two weeks. He has been working 730am to 8pm and while I really want to support him, I’m getting more anxious now as baby will be popping anytime soon. He’s usually very tired and will just zone out after work. We had the initial plan that he will take no-pay leave during the first month. Seems like his boss had actually fought for him to get leave and has suggested that he use some of the prorated leave to take just two weeks, and can consider either work-from-office / work-from-home for the rest. I did initially agree with the idea but after seeing how it is the past two weeks…..I’m now worried. I do still hope that he will still be hands on and not just pass things to myself or our newly-hired (and yet to arrive) helper. Anyone has any suggestions how I can overcome these feelings of uncertainty and anxiety? :(

2024-11-21Help! LO is now 3 month plus. He has been crying very hard from 8pm to 12am. I will feed him FM every 2hr with 150ml but at night he seems to be asking for more and refusing to sleep. He used to sleep from 830pm throughout till morning. But lately he been sleeping from 12am till morning. Offered pacifier but it's not working. Had to keep pat n carry him to sleep and it's always till 12am b4 he finally fall sleep. Else he will always wake up in between 8pm to 12am. He seems to be asking for food. However it's abit weird to kept asking more during the night feeding. I am not sure how much more ml I can provide. I have gave 150ml and another 150ml in an hour time.

2024-11-22Hey mummy’s anyone know what to pack for 4 month old baby? And must haves? For a 3 days 2 night trip #AskingAsAMom #CuriousAlert
2024-11-22I found out that I was pregnant on the anniversary of my wedding. My husband and I were elated. I didn’t have much pregnancy symptoms - no severe morning sickness, no headaches, no mood swings, no aches, no cramps etc. We even gave our baby a nickname. Nothing but good vibes. I’ve been careful with my health, even more so than before. I exercise >3 times a week for at least 45mins each. I religiously took my prenatal vitamins and supplements, and everything I could to ensure an optimum environment for our baby. First prenatal visit, the doctor did a vaginal scan and there it was: measuring approx 5 weeks and 6 days with obvious flickering heart beat. We were so excited. We were told to go back three weeks later for another routine scan. Two days later, I saw brown discharge on my pantyliner. I had no symptoms prior, no cramps etc. My husband rushed me down to ED in the wee hours and the doctor did another scan. There. The flickering heartbeat was still there. I was told it was a threatened miscarriage, and I was given two weeks worth of progesterone to further stabilise the foetus. No more coloured discharge after that. I thought all’s well. Come three weeks later to the second prenatal visit, the doctor said it should be big enough to do an abdominal scan. There it was, measuring at 8 weeks 6 days…but the doctor could not detect its heartbeat. I could not see any flickering heartbeat either. She advised us to do a more detailed scan with a radiologist. We went immediately. The radiologist was quick and did not say anything. But I saw her typed “NO FH” clearly across the screen. At that moment, I was crestfallen. When we went back to see the doctor once again, she had confirmed that I just had a missed miscarriage. Basically, our baby’s heart stopped beating on the same day of the scan. It had died inside of me without me knowing, and I was still walking around with a huge grin on my face earlier.. I never thought I would experience miscarriage..let alone a missed miscarriage.. We were told to wait for a week or so for the body to naturally expel the foetus out. 8 weeks and 6 days… just one day more before our baby would medically “officially” be termed a foetus rather than an embryo..but no..it didn’t make it. I couldn’t help but felt lousy about myself - what a failure I was. I did prepare my body for months before trying to conceive and this was the result? I like to think I’m a “glass is half full person”; I’m aware up to 20% pregnancies end up in miscarriages but inversely, 80% made it!..but not mine.. Walking out of the clinic room and looking at the faces (and tummies) of other expectant mothers made me felt as if I was doing the Walk of Shame. Today, I went back for a follow-up to see if I’ve naturally miscarried. Nope, my stubborn body is just not ready to let my baby go. Hoping for a miracle, the doctor was kind enough to do another vaginal scan for me in case it was just because an abdominal scan wasn’t able to pick up the heartbeat. But the scan showed that our baby had stopped developing since that day..and when she turned on the sound to listen to for the baby’s heartbeat, it was flatlined.. just silent white noise.. all my last hope for a miracle baby vanished at that moment.. I know it’s just pregnancy hormones in play, but I hate it knowing my baby died but I still feel pregnant. I still have all the pregnancy cravings and still feel peckish and hungry when I should be feeling sad and loss of appetite over the grief instead.. I am scheduled for surgery to clear out the womb next week, and in the meantime give me and husband some time to properly mourn over our loss. To all mamas out there and expecting mommas, I envy you. Please stay healthy. May I one day join the club once again.. #miscarriage

2024-11-22I’m thinking to stop breastfeeding at 6m mark - as in pumping…it takes a toll on me, and i find it inconvenient if i were to go out for a full day as theres just too much to bring and if i dont pump, my breast hurts…i also dont watch my diet, my MIL asks me to stop eating spicy food and eat more fibre to that baby poo everyday, but as much as im eating my veg, my baby dont poo everyday. And i love my bbt that i have it everyday (w25% and no topping) im afraid my breastmilk might give bby diabetes? not sure if thats works actually…if i were to stop giving my LO BM at 6 months, am i selfish?

My abdomen looks like I have a baby bump already but I’m just on my week 6… any help on getting rid of this bloatedness? ): because it’s making me lose my appetite..#firsttimemom #bloating #constipatedMom
2024-11-23Any ftm feeling overwhelmed as a sahm? I am feeling mentally and physically exhausted, particularly my LO, who was unwell and being hospitalised for a few days. Yet the other half and my only sister made me feel that I shouldn't feel tired because I am not a full-time working mother. Turned to her for ranting but got suan. My sis is a mom of 2 and has been working, so to her, what I am doing now is nothing. I doubt I could hold on to my emotions soon. And I felt so guilty for scolding my LO....
2024-11-23Portable, easy to carry around, but not the most shiok in terms of massage IMO.
2024-11-23#firsttimemom #CuriousAlert im due in 3 more days. No any sign of labour. Doctor suggests either to wait out or induce. Im not sure what to do. Im worried for the baby safety if I overlook any signs and end up harming the baby or baby poop. Im in constant anxiety. 😥
