2025-04-14I'm in week 7 going week 8. Struggling to eat these days since week 5. Always feeling nauseous and want to vomit but did not physically vomit. Spending so much time just trying to eat daily can be so exhausting 😮‍💨

2025-04-14So I am 4 months postpartum and realised I'm pregnant again. I didn't return to work yet cause of maternity leave and unpaid leave, and I don't know how to tell my workplace about my pregnancy again. Will it affect my performance at work? Will my workplace let me go? Will I get the maternity leave? How to tell my workplace? When to tell them? #Needadvice

2025-04-15Good morning mummies! Has anyone ever been told that your baby bump looks small? For me, it's been a common experience—I've heard it during my first pregnancy, second, and now even during my third! People keep saying my bump looks small. I’m currently 7 months along but only looks like i'm having bloathed stomach. Sometimes I dont listen but sometimes I find it annoying
2025-04-15I’m a first-time dad here and I’m honestly a bit anxious. My wife is currently 10 weeks pregnant, and for the past few days she’s been spotting — like light bleeding, sometimes reddish, sometimes brownish. It’s not heavy, but it happens almost every day now. She says she feels okay otherwise – no cramps or anything – and we’ve already booked a check-up, but that’s only in a few days’ time. Just wondering if any other mummies or daddies experienced this? Is this normal or should we be more concerned? She’s been trying to rest more, I’ve been helping with housework and trying not to stress her out. But I can’t help feeling a bit scared lah… We had a miscarriage once before and I just don’t want to go through that again. Appreciate any advice or similar experiences. Thank you 🙏
2025-04-15Hello mummies, is it true that giving birth is really that scary? I’m currently in early pregnancy but I get really paranoid after hearing people’s stories about childbirth. I’m scared, and I have anxiety/overthinking issues. So every day I worry… I feel anxious about what it will be like when the time comes for me to give birth.
2025-04-15Are there any mums here who sometimes feel insecure when it comes to their husband? For example, in my case, my husband works while I stay at home. I chose to be a stay-at-home mum after we got married, and my husband has always supported that decision fully. But after a few years, I started to feel like we were growing into different people. His social circle is getting wider (I understand, it’s part of his job), and he rarely shares things with me anymore. Maybe he feels like I won’t be able to relate. We’ve talked about this before, and he once said, “I don’t want to burden you with my stories anymore, because I know you’re already carrying a lot at home.” And he’s right, I do manage the kids, the house, everything... But to be honest, my mother-in-law also gets to me. She often makes snide remarks, like telling me not to spend money so easily, saying my husband works so hard. She even questions why I’m not working. I’m so frustrated—why is she always interfering in my life?
2025-04-15Any mums here whose baby was due in September 2023? My baby was due in September and still can’t walk yet. When we hold their hands, they try to take steps, but if we let go, they’re still scared to walk on their own. They can’t even stand without support yet 😭 Any tips on how to stimulate or encourage this, mums? 🙏🏻
2025-04-15Hi mummies, for those with babies due in March 2023, how many teeth does your little one have now? Mine still only has 6 (4 on top, 2 at the bottom) 😢 I’ve already tried giving cheese, and letting them bite into harder fruits, but still no new teeth coming in. Thankfully, they’re eating well and can chew anything already. Any suggestions on what else I can try, mummies?
2025-04-15Is it really so wrong if I sleep in until noon? Lately, I’ve been struggling to wake up early, and it makes me feel like a bad mum. The mornings just pass by, and I haven’t even bathed my baby until later in the day. I know some people might judge me for it, but honestly, my body has been so sore, and I haven’t been feeling well. It’s not like I don’t care—I care a lot, maybe too much—and that’s what’s making this so heavy. I used to be the kind of person who got everything done early, always ticking off the to-do list. But now, with a baby, it feels like I’m running a marathon every day. Some nights, I barely sleep because my little one keeps waking up, and by the time the sun rises, I feel like I’ve already been through a full day. I tell myself I’ll just lie down for a bit longer... then suddenly, it’s 11am. Noon. And the guilt creeps in again. Sometimes I wonder if other mums feel the same. Do they also struggle with this mix of exhaustion and guilt? On social media, everyone seems so put-together—making breakfast at 7am, doing activities with their kids by 9am. Meanwhile, I’m still in my pajamas, trying to muster the energy to start the day while my baby plays beside me. It’s hard not to compare. But maybe, just maybe, I need to give myself a bit more grace. This phase is hard, and I’m learning that being a good parent doesn’t mean ticking every box or being perfect. Sometimes, it just means showing up, loving my child fiercely, and doing my best with what I’ve got. And right now, that includes allowing myself to rest when I need it.

2025-04-16Hi all, I am at w5d6 yesterday based on doctor’s scan. Went to see doc yesterday and everyth was fine. Went to toilet today and notice there are pinkish and brownish discharge. I am quite worried. Anybody can advise if this is normal? Thanks thanks
2025-04-16My toddler is now going 3 years old. But current my marriage is having issue but we did not acknowledge it. Past 3 years I feel lonely and ignored by my husband. Only recently, we started to try just for the seek of having another baby. In law also giving us pressure to have another kid so my son won’t be lonely. We went through IVF to conceive my son. It was a very difficult journey that create unhappiness for us due to the stress we went through for infertility. We didn’t had much less than 1 sex a month some months we cannot be bothered to try. But last month we did once and I found out I got pregnant in April. Now is about 6 weeks and my husband don’t seem to be happy. He is traumatized about how unhappy after we had our son. With a lot of unhappy reasons as much as I want to keep this baby. I foresee we won’t be happy and might break the marriage and I think I should just abort the baby. I felt irresponsible as a parent as we are not loving parents. I know I will regret and guilty for the rest of my life but at least I don’t break my marriage and maintain a friendship with my husband for the seek of my son. Does anyone encounter the same problem and choose abortion?

2025-04-17Hello mummies, first time pregnancy here. Currently in subsidised route at KKH but planning to change to private for delivery. Anyone knows if the pricing is significantly different? (Opting for normal birth). Additionally, as long as baby and I are doing fine I’m ok to stick to subsidised route until before delivery. Some of my friends say there is a personal touch with private, is there really a difference? The price for usual check ups/tests at subsidise clinic vs TMC wasn’t far off too. Can someone share what is actually the difference please? :)

2025-04-18Hello, I had my 1st gynae visit yesterday. Found out my gestational sec implanted lower at 1/3 of the womb. Is there a concern? I'm starting to worry after googling similar situations. Gynae say it depends on where the placenta is. Hopefully higher otherwise there will be risk of bleeding or C-sect needed. At this point, she didn't mention on a threatened miscarriage but I can't help but worry. I'm scheduled for a return visit 2weeks later. As of now, no heartbeat developed yet or embryo seen. Any advise?

Would like some opinion on which option is better a) small box for each colleague who has contributed to e-vouchers + a few extra boxes for everyone in office b) bigger sharing boxes for everyone in office Thanks!

2025-04-19I've started giving my 5yo and 10m children tiny massages before bed. But ive been using adult moisturizers on them, and no rashes so far. But i think i should not because of all the different ingredients in it. I have tried cetaphil baby face and body lotions, and my children would break out in rashes. Do you have any recommendations for face/body creams for sensitive skin for babies/toddlers?
2025-04-19Hey mummies. My baby (currently 10 months) like to throw himself back and bang the back of his head rapidly especially when on the stroller. (Ongoing since 2 mths ago) Recently i google, and i saw this can be a sign of austim. Personally i dont think he is, he interacts well with us, good eye contact & respond to his name. Although he still cant understand simple instruction, he will raise his arms up when he saw we were about to carry him up. Mummies, just when to know if any of ur babies does this too? Is this a normal behaviour? Do i need to be concern of austim ?
