Not contractions right?

I'm at 38w+3 now, and my stomach has been feeling very tight since 2 days ago. Initially I thought it's braxton hicks but it's too constant. It's not painful except for the pelvic area now and again. Anyone knows what's going on?

nope not contractions. it’s braxton hicks. unless you start timing and it’s regular

Hey mummies! Hope y’all are doing well. I’m due anytime soon and having labour anxiety. It’s my first child and I’m excited to meet her! But I am also feeling very scared. Any tips/advices? #advicepls #firsttimemom #firstbaby

Don’t read don’t listen to any birth stories, go with the flow. If you’re afraid of the pain, go for the pain reliefs (laughing gas, epidural). 😊

Weight gain immediately after birth

I just delivered my baby 2 days ago. I'm now at the confinement centre and to my horror when I stepped on the weighing scale, I did not lose any weight but instead put on 5kg! I had been constipated since a few days before birth but given that the baby weight + waterbag + placenta, shouldn't I have lost some weight? Had been trying to get breastmilk too but it's still in drops. I did not overeat in hospital too. But I am visibly very puffy. Anyone can advise me? This is depressing. #advicepls #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #FTM #firstbaby

Its just two days. Give it some time. Have u started any massage?

Baby weight gain at 37 wks is 2.7kg, is this normal?

I’m currently at 37 wks and baby is about currently 2.7kg, my husband felt i had not been eating more in the past feel weeks and blames me for the drop in baby weight, he felt the normal weight should have at least been 2.9-3kg by now. It makes me feel guilty that i have not been more, though doctor did advise this is still within normal range. What can I do to increase baby weight especially now i’m already at full term? #firsttimemom

Hi dear, last checkup at 37 weeks, my baby is 2.7kg too, not too worried as doc said it’s a normal range. Don’t feel guilty, more important is baby is healthy :) few more weeks to go for us, Jia you!

38 weeks and high BP 😓

Cervix check - 2cm dilated. Baby weighing 2.8kg, doc sending me for additional checks at the hospital tmr as bp was high. #worried

Please don't wait until tomorrow if your BP stays high or you get a headache, blurry vision, or swelling, those signs mean go to A&E or call 995 right away, don't wait for the scheduled check. That said, your doctor is already monitoring you closely, which is reassuring, so weigh up whether you feel okay to wait versus going in sooner if anything changes tonight.

Free diaper for 3 months

Hi, my spouse and I signed up for some package/promotion which allow us 3 months of free diaper (from Pampers I think). We were also able to select the size of the diapers too. Unfortunately, we forgot what we signed up for as it was few months ago. Anyone has any idea what it might be? Thanks in advance!#pleasehelp

Hmm, it does sound like it could be the Pampers rewards or baby club programme, I recall someone in my mum group mentioning they signed up through a Pampers promotion during their hospital stay or at a baby fair, where you could choose your diaper size and receive supplies across a few months. The trade-off some mums noted is that a few had trouble tracking which specific sign-up it was, especially if they registered at multiple booths around the same time. It might be worth checking your email inbox for any confirmation from Pampers directly, since those programmes usually send a registration acknowledgement with the details. Either way, contacting Pampers Singapore customer service with your sign-up details seems like the most straightforward way to trace it back.

Any other moms realise who their “real friends” are during pregnancy? The person who was my bridesmaid hasn’t even spoken to me once since I got pregnant… and it hurts.

Understand how you feel. My best friend, single, fade out of my life back then when I was in a relationship. She remains silent and not choose not talk about it. We have not been in touch since then. Life moves on, I respect her decision to cut the friendship. She may have her reasons. Maybe you should initiate a conversation with her to talk about it if she is open about it. At least, looking back, you won’t regret things you have not done to salvage the friendship.

Popping soon - Tips how pelvic bone open easily when fully dilated

Hello Moms, any tips how our pelvic bone open easily during labor? To have successful normal delivery 🙏🏻 Appreciate your tips

Congrats mum, you’re almost there! A few mums I know found gentle walking and hip circles on the birthing ball helpful in the last weeks, and staying upright during labour can feel more comfortable too, but do check with your gynae or midwife based on baby’s position and your situation.

Are we allowed to do side-lying or on all fours to push the baby out? Cause I’ve heard stories that some hospitals doesn’t allow. Am under the subsidies class #labour

just asked doctor again today about giving birth on all fours. Doctor gave a straight no. 😅 but nonetheless, it's ok to just ask your gynae. who knows they allow it! all the best!

39 weeks 3 days

FTM here, feeling abit stress and indecisive.. just went for my check up and i am still at 2cm dilated since last week.. my gynae recommend that i break my waterbag tmr to help start the contractions as i havent had any yet. Baby weight is also at 3.2kg right now.. i dont know i should do.. should i wait till my EDD which is in 4 days or break my waterbag tmr.. i dont want to be induced and im hoping for everything to happen naturally but i am also trying to avoid csect if my baby gets to big. Any advice? 😔😣

POV for me hold till EDD or another extra 1 week. Why? Because induced can be very painful and if your pain tolerance level is high then good. But, if you don't then pretty sure you will take either jab, gas or epidural. Because for dilation to happened waterbag has to break, contractions kick in then dilation starts. It can take pretty pretty long if dilation never happened. My first child, 3cm dilate, hold 1 week, no sign of birth then I induced. Took jab, gas, epidural and only give birth next day. I exceed EDD and give birth 41 weeks 1 day. My second child, 3 cm dilate, mild contractions (which I wasn't aware), supposingly induced at 40 weeks but I wasn't put as priority at KKH hence I was put at normal ward. I also wasn't allow to exceed my EDD since it is my second. So I said okay. I got a bed at 40 weeks 1 day, in labour from midnight onwards. Give birth 40 weeks 2 days. All I can say is trust your instinct and body. If you sure you can push normal labour then do it. If not induced. But also induced can be painful, long and may lead to C section too. You may read up on local celebrity Nadiah M Din birth journey for her 2nd child till 4th child. All her baby exceed EDD and more than 3kg. It is really inspiring.
