Hỏi & Đáp

Hi mummies.. I will be a mum of two soon.. my child will be exactly 2 years apart. I gave birth in 2021, with emergency csect. As I went through a lot of grey snapshots of my labour, after birth I prolly had a mild depression or baby blue. It took me months to recover. Even though I was traumatised, I do want to have another child. Now that I’m pregnant for my second one, because of my traumatised moments during labour from the previous one. I right away wanted my labour to be csect. Because maybe I know how the process works and such. But people around me ask me to go for natural birth. I felt disheartened and taken aback because they don’t know what I went through and it’s traumatic. Therefore I don’t want to go through natural birth because I don’t know what to expect and I don’t want to go through another traumatising moments again. If anyone can share you thoughts or views, so that I can enjoy my second pregnancy in peace and happy. 🥺🥺

I had natural birth for #1 and #2. But now, I am thinking of c sect for #3 cos I am not sure if my backache can take it. I took epidural for my first 2 pregnancies. So I am wondering if with c sect, I can avoid epidural.

Any gynae gave go ahead for sashimi?

My gynae says is OK to eat raw sashimi and half boiled eggs during pregnancy. Just wondering if any of you have similar advice or the exact opposite?

Everything in moderation is fine. And only dine at reputable restaurants!

Nutrition in trimester 1

Anyone feeling bad that they are not eating the most nutritious food due to morning sickness?

one of the gynaes told my friend to eat whatever possible if morning sickness is very very bad. so even if it’s not the most nutritious.. it’s better than starving urself

Nausea and vomiting at work

Hi mummies, How do you cope with first trimester nausea and vomiting at work? Did it affect your performance and relationship with colleagues. Anxious mom here, will be going through a traineeship programme at work soon.

Sour gummies really help me! I take The Natural Confectionary’s Sour Chews. Only problem is that they melt and get a bit messy so I keep them in the fridge and take a few to work with me in a separate carrier. Sour skittles work too and are much less messy!

I’m in my week 6. Suddenly one night after dinner, I came home with coffee brown stain, you know like your tail end of menses. I contemplated between staying calm to wait till my first gynae visit in 4 days time (coz I read that spotting may be common) or to go to A&E (In case it means something bad). I decided to go to A&E instead and the nurse called my gynae over after hearing my concern. So my first meeting with gynae happened at A&E instead of his clinic! Long story short, he commented that it was a good decision to go to A&E when unsure because wondering won’t help. Check up gives a peace of mind. He checked and showed me the sac thru u/s scan. But he also commented that the black dot seemed a little small for week 6. Might be a late bloomer or not developing well :( He gave me duphaston to help support pregnancy and progesterone jab (damn painful) to help with uterine lining or something. We agreed that we will postpone our gynae visit to another week and see if the baby grows bigger. Gynae was assuring though he laid out the potential outcomes, good or bad. So first time mommies, best to make a trip to clinic when in doubt!

Hello, glad to hear that you went ahead.. did you have any cramps? Our gynae visit is only 7 days later but now we’re worried about my cramps (at times sharp pain). Decided to go to another gynae instead to check first (our gynae is overseas). Hopefully all is good

First trimester is so cruel to me. Any remedy?

Hi mummies. It’s my first time expecting, am currently at my 5+ week. However, I have gone through the worst first trimester so far 😔 I feel so sad and alone everyday because I’m WFH and no one’s home. And my morning sickness lasts mostly till 9pm daily. The nausea is so bad and I cant stop gagging or vomitting at everything. Sometimes i cant even get out of the bed and sleep a few hours at a time. Is this normal? I feel so stressed out because nothing I do seems to help my situation and I feel so tired. Is there any remedy or suggestions anyone can provide me? Please 😭

Hi first time mom here at 7 weeks now. My nausea is just as bad, and am feeling Low as well. Music’s a good distraction and I take at least 4 naps a day. So ur not alone. :) I squeeze 4 drops of lemon into my water and sip on it throughout the day and it helps a lot. Most of the time I realised my nausea is caused by hunger so I try to munch on some biscuits or berries to keep me going. Praying for it to get better for you soon! ♥️

How do mummies cope with 2 or more kids.

Dear mommies, I have a 2 year old currently in childcare and another baby will come by next year in February 2023. My hubby and me working office hour. We have no extra help (no helper, no parents help). We want to put our 2nd baby through infant care but that doesn't solve our problem of coping through sleepless night and household chores. How do mummies cope with this?

part time cleaner to do deep clean if you can. as for chores, need to wait schedule properly to do during your time off work.
