Hi mummies, any of you experienced terrible lower back ache during your pregnancy? I’m now about 16 weeks and while my stomach is not very obvious yet, the baby is blocking my insides so I can’t even bend over forward to stretch my back if I need to. The back ache is a lot worse when I stand for too long (eg cooking) or after sleeping. It’s painful enough to wake me up to toss and turn at night. Anyone with any solutions or advice please? I don’t dare to apply topical painkiller gel as I am not sure if those are safe for pregnancy #advicepls Supposed to travel for a short trip a few days later, but the pain is so bad I’m thinking of cancelling the trip.

I'm working in a healthcare setting and my job requires me to be quick at times. I was diagnosed with Anaemia at 15 weeks and I'm constantly dizzy, Dr prescribed me with iron supplement. Now I'm also usually throwing up every one or two days a few hours after eating. Is there anything that can help with the dizziness and constant throw up. #pleasehelp #firstbaby

- require biweekly, mainly for living room and toilet cleaning.

First time mom here. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid and subsequently became pregnant while still under medication. I'm fearful that my medication will cause negative impact on my baby's growth, like slow to learn etc. Any thyroid mothers out there and is baby doing fine? #advicepls

Hi mummies, anyone can share experiences if you had planned c sec at NUH? Want know the price range as well. I am currently at 15W, and planning to explore delivery options. Thank you!!

Any other mummies experiencing headaches or worse, migraines too? Mine is usually accompanied by dizziness and nausea, and everything combined makes me feel so uncomfortable. Can’t sleep, eat or focus on doing anything. Doc said it’s okay to take panadol but I’m avoiding it for as long as I can… #firsttimemom
