Im 19wks pregnant. Can I paint my house and shift out for the moment for 1-2 months till painting is done?

Best not to smell in the paint smell as it might contain toxic chemicals that can be transferred to baby! I’m currently moving out too and used a better odour free paint. Waited for 1-2 weeks and aired the house before moving in. Better be safe than sorry!

Does your husband pamper you during pregnancy? E.g. doing housework chores, cook for you, etc.

#Firsttimemother

No for mine. Chores are done by mil (except for laundry i do myself), food we dabao or mil cook. If I’m hungry at night, he will tell me “go and sleep so you won’t feel hungry” 😑. But I appreciate that he do accompany me to every scans.

Single Umbilical Artery :(

Hi mummies-to-be, I recently had my 20-week detailed ultrasound scan, and the doctor mentioned that my baby's umbilical cord is missing one artery. Despite this, my baby's weight, kidneys, and heart are all developing normally currently. However, I'm still a little worried. Has anyone else experienced something similar? What should I do?

Feeling ugly during pregnancy

Hi, I’m currently 20 weeks and most of my existing clothes don’t fit me anymore. I also gained quite a bit of weight so far. Feeling quite ugly and don’t know what to wear when I need to go out. I am not sure if I should buy nice maternity clothes which will be outgrown after I given birth or bigger sizing normal clothes which might fit me now but might be too big for postpartum. I want to invest in nicer clothes to make me feel better and yet don’t wanna waste money and space. I also don’t feel confident in what I wear and just feel like an auntie. In addition, I also feel that my face has changed and don’t like my look overall. I know I will only get bigger since I’m only half way through. Not sure if it’s my mindset issue, is there any way to improve my situation now?

What I did was to get stretchy band (scrunched back) dresses or flowy bottom midaxi (my dear boobs didn’t absorb the fats 😒) in my usual sizing so that post pregnancy I can still wear them. I also got a lot of oversized Tshirts that can accommodate my bump and as a short t-dress after birth. Keep all the prepregnancy clothings that don’t fit you now, don’t try them on, use the clothings as a motivation after birth. For ref: I went from XS to L/XXL as I gained 18KG thruout. This period, don’t get too many clothings, invest in better nursing bras and 1-2 pieces of maternity shorts instead. When you look yourself in the mirror, focus on your bump rather than other parts of your body (eg thighs or arms). Don’t step on the weighing machine definitely, I used to record daily until halfway I stressed myself out cause it’s only going up 😖. Tell yourself this is only temporary and you’re already halfway there. Eat well, drink well and you’ll shed off all the extra weights. It took me 8m to get back in shape and even so, I still do have a little mum tummy when I sit down even thou I was weighing lower than prepregnancy (I breastfeed cause they say can lose weight faster 😂).

Avent steriliser and dryer or uv steriliser?

Definitely Haenim for me. Tried Avent but I feel that it’s not entirely dried whereas Haenim, 30 mins dried and sterilised.

Wake up wide awake & feeling the baby the moment u wake up

Any mummies wake up feeling wide awake? It is a maternal animal instinct thing to protect from predators... no matter how little I sleep or how much I sleep I wake up super wide awake.. unlike in the past where you feel like sleeping in longer, can't open your eyes, brain haven't start functioning 😅 it's like alert mode.. Also!! I noticed everytime I wake up I immediately feel my womb and certain sides would feel hard, is it the baby positioning 🤣 ? after I wake up and leave my bed my womb becomes soft again haha

ya oddly I feel my belly smtime is hard like filled up & smtime like flabby empty😅

Flu throughout pregnancy

Hi! I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant. Have been having flu and cough almost every week. When i'm almost recovering, it'll come back again. Should i be worried? Read some medical articles online about how prolonged cough/flu can affect baby's development. My next scan is at 20 weeks.

I don't think this is an alarming concern. it seems that during pregnancy, cold is common. seeing a medical professional culd be more assuring and since u say its prolong pls do see a Dr. I am one with sinus & my flu throughout is bad that will easy becmin sore throat & fever. I am taking cetrizine every day/ every other day as to cope & suppress before it even may start. if at night i feel goin to catch very bad cold it's getting intense I take chlorpheniramine. please do discuss with Dr if these are pregnancy safe for u
