How can working parents manage professional certification preparation?

Preparing for a certification exam while managing work and family responsibilities can be difficult. One practical approach is to break the syllabus into smaller topics and use practice questions to identify weak areas...

Honestly, I think the key is to be realistic about timing rather than trying to cram everything in. My friend who did her professional cert while working full-time basically gave herself a longer timeline (maybe 6-8 months instead of 3-4) so she could study in smaller chunks during her lunch breaks and weekends without burning out completely. Breaking the syllabus into bite-sized topics like you mentioned really helps, and she swore by doing practice questions first to see what she actually needed to focus on instead of re-reading everything from scratch. The trade-off is it takes longer, but you're less likely to sacrifice your sanity or time with the kids that way.

Where to start ob-gyn experience?

Im 6 week pregnant. Its gonna be my second baby. But for singapore its gonna be first. So i dont know what to do first? Should i go have blood test first in polyclinic? Could you please share your experiences? #adviceappreciated #pregnancy

Congratulations on your second baby! At 6 weeks, you're at a good spot to get started. Most of us go straight to an OB-GYN for the first appointment rather than the polyclinic first, they'll do an ultrasound to confirm everything is progressing well, which is really the priority at this stage. That said, a few of my mum friends went via polyclinic for a referral to KKH, and they found it helped with the subsidy later on, so that's worth considering if cost is a factor for you. If you go private, expect around $120, 150 for that first visit, but if you want to tap on subsidies through a government hospital like KKH, starting with your polyclinic doctor for a referral can work out more affordable in the long run. Either way, just call up the clinic or hospital and book, they're usually pretty efficient about getting you in within a week or two. Definitely worth checking with your own OB-GYN about the best pathway for your situation, especially since you've had a pregnancy before and might have specific things they want to monitor!

First time mummy here, aldy went for first scan at kkh via poly referral. ive heard alot of scary birth stories at KKH and was wondering if SGH is better? And how to go about transferring? Any advice on which path i should go?

Both are solid choices lah, honestly it just depends on what matters more to you. KKH is the specialist women and children's hospital so they see everything, which some mums find reassuring, while SGH is a general hospital with good OB care but maybe slightly less volume. The "scary stories" thing is tricky because labour is unpredictable no matter where you go, and you tend to hear the dramatic ones more than the straightforward births. If you want to transfer, you'd need to ask your poly doctor for a referral to SGH instead, but I'd suggest going back to KKH for your next appointment and asking the docs there directly what they think is best for your situation before you decide, since they already have your medical history. My friend stayed with KKH throughout and had a good experience, so don't stress too much about the choice itself.

No morning sickness no nausea at all

Hello mummies. Im now at week6 1day and Im extremely worried as i have no symptoms at all other than missed period, firm breast come and go and lower back pain. Other than that i work well, sleep well and eat well. Is it normal. Its my first time… i don’t seem to gain weight too but bloated. Woah this overthinking is killing me ☹️

I’m also not having any N&V, I’m at week 5 now but had 2 days of weird coloured spotting. Had a chemical pregnancy back in March so I’m feeling paranoid about my spotting now 😣
