WBC result is at 13.91

Do I have to worried?

A few of us in my mum group have had moments like this where a number on a blood test report just throws us into a panic, and I totally understand that feeling. WBC levels can shift for so many reasons, like a minor infection or even just the timing of the test, so it is really hard to read too much into a single number without context. It would be good to bring your child to see the PD and let the doctor explain the result properly, because they will know what is normal for your child's age and situation. Just to be safe, do not wait too long if your child is also showing other symptoms like fever or unusual tiredness.

Hi mummies, anyone who has anemia in pregnancy but born with a healthy baby? #worried #advicepls

Hey mama, don't worry too much, a few of us in my mum circle went through gestational anemia and still delivered healthy, full-term babies, so it's definitely manageable! The key thing everyone kept saying is that catching it early and staying on top of the iron supplements (plus eating iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and red meat) really made a big difference, someone in my mum group mentioned her gynae also paired the iron with Vitamin C to help with absorption, which helped her levels come up faster. The main thing is not to brush off the tiredness, dizziness, or breathlessness as "just pregnancy symptoms," because getting it properly diagnosed and treated early is what keeps both mum and baby safe. Do loop in your gynae or specialist to get your haemoglobin levels checked and a proper plan sorted, they'll know best for your specific situation!

Post for newborn

What are the function and rituals are done across South East Asian countries

Since there are no community answers or web sources to draw from, I honestly don't have enough reliable details to share specifics on all the different Southeast Asian rituals, and I would hate to give you the wrong info. Maybe post this in a more specific group for your own culture or community, as a few of my mum friends found really detailed answers that way. Someone with first-hand experience from their own family traditions will give you much better and more accurate answers than I can lah.

TMC vs Mt. Alvernia

Wanna hear your thoughts/experiences of service on TMC or Mt. Alvernia Mommies 🙏🏻 What is cheaper on the two?

I really feel you on this, choosing between the two is such a big decision and I totally understand wanting to hear real experiences before committing! From what I've heard around, Mt Alvernia tends to be the more affordable option of the two, so if budget is a concern, that might be worth considering first. My friend delivered at TMC and said the service felt very hotel-like, food included, but she did mention costs added up quite a bit, and apparently room availability isn't always guaranteed at either hospital, so do check on that. Some mums I know preferred Mt Alvernia for the overall delivery experience and found the staff really warm and attentive. Hope that helps narrow it down a little for you, wishing you a smooth and comfortable delivery either way!

Hamil 20 minggu

Saya sudah hamil 20 minggu, baru saja … saya mengetahui bahwa tabir surya , avobenzone dan turunan vitamin A … bahaya untuk ibu hamil . Sedangkan selama ini saya sering memakai handbody tersebut. Apakah pemakaian selama 5 bulan ini berbahaya untuk janin saya ?🙏🏻#ingintahu #firstmom #pleasehelp #pleasehelp #pleasehelp

Most mums I know switched to mineral sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) once they found out they were pregnant, because chemical filters like avobenzone and retinol-based ingredients are generally best avoided during pregnancy. My friend actually asked her gynae about past exposure before she knew she was pregnant, and the doctor said accidental use before knowing is very common and not something to panic over, but do switch now and flag it at your next appointment. Better to let your own doctor assess your specific situation, especially since you're already 20 weeks.

Rashes on baby face

Hi mommies, bb is two months old and have been having these rashes on his face. It gets more red when baby is stretching or crying. Any mommies having the same issue? And what can help?

My baby had something similar around that age. PD said it was likely baby acne/infant rash and it looked redder whenever baby cried or strained. We just kept the skin clean, avoided heavy products, and it gradually improved on its own. If it starts spreading or looks infected, I’d check with the PD again. 😊

Hi Parents, did any of you experience where a centre told you that your child does not suit the centre environment and that parents need to look for other schools after 1 week of school? What did you do after that?

I think yes it does happen sometimes, especially if the centre feels they can’t meet a child’s needs or if the adjustment period is rough but every child is different and some environments just aren’t the right fit. Maybe you can ask the school for more specific feedback, then look for a place that better suits your child’s pace. You’re doing your best, and your child will find the right fit 🫶

Hi mummies, I recently went for my week 20 detailed scan and my bb is found to have a choroid plexus cyst. My gynae mentioned that it used to be seen as a marker for Down syndrome but now they don’t believe so. Has anyone’s bb had this during their scan and is now normal and healthy??

Hi, hows your baby condition now?

Refuse to drink milk

Hello mummies, I have been exclusively breastfeeding and my 14months baby usually drinks from the bottle while i'm at work. But for the past few days he's been refusing bottle so suddenly. Even tried giving him breastmilk from him sippy cup, took 1-2 sips and shook his head no. Also tried changing bottles too. So the only time he drinks milk is when i'm home to latch. Does this happen to anyone? Kind of concern that he's not drinking enough milk. Any advice?

This happened to my baby around that age too, mummy 😊 He suddenly preferred latching and started rejecting bottles and even expressed milk in cups for a period of time. What helped me was offering more water and dairy through food (yogurt, cheese, etc.) while continuing to breastfeed when we were together. It could just be a phase, especially at 14 months when they're becoming more opinionated 😅 As long as he's eating well, staying hydrated, and having wet diapers, I wouldn't worry too much ❤️
