Reccomendation for breast pump

Hello! I am FTM at week 18 pregnant. Any recommendation for breast pump, thinking to get one which can use at home and outside (when back to office)instead of getting 2.

Congrats FTM mama! I'd recommend the Spectra S1 Plus — it's super popular among Singapore mamas, has a built-in rechargeable battery so you can use it at home and office, and the suction is really good for milk supply! If budget allows, the Elvie wearable pump is amazing for office use since it fits in your bra and is totally silent.

Anyone hear of Dr. Smita Lakhotia from KKH?

Please do share your experience, thank you!

Hi, Mom! Oh, Dr. Smita Lakhotia from KKH is really well-known among us moms in the parenting groups lah! She's a consultant in the Paediatric Neurology department, so a lot of us bring our children to her if there are any concerns about development or neurological issues. I've heard so many good things about her from my mummy friends — they say she's very thorough and patient when explaining things, which is so important when you're already so worried about your child. If you're looking to see her, just call KKH to book an appointment, but be prepared, her slots can fill up pretty fast!

Recommendation for Day Time Confinement Nanny

Hello mummies! any recommendation for day time confinement nanny? Many agencies enquired do no provide such services.

I think can find, just that not many agencies offer daytime only, most are live-in. Maybe you can try asking around or through recommendations, some nannies do part-time/daytime but not always listed under agencies. Hope you manage to find one! 🙏

Received a call from hospital, I was told my blood test results for FTS is 1/396, considered intermittent risk. What should I do now? I’m 39 this year. I did my NIPT test at the same time but result will only be out in 2 weeks time. Anyone has similar experience to share?

Hi, sending you a big hug first because that waiting period between getting a result and knowing what to do next is genuinely one of the most anxious times in pregnancy. You are not alone in this. A FTS result of 1/396 sits in the intermediate risk category, which means it's not high risk (typically considered 1/250 and above) but it's also not the low risk result we all hope for. The fact that you already did NIPT at the same time was honestly the right call and the most important thing you can do right now is wait for that result before making any further decisions. NIPT is much more accurate than the FTS blood markers alone because it looks directly at fetal DNA in your blood. A reassuring NIPT result would give you a lot more peace of mind even with the FTS number you received. A few things worth knowing while you wait: Being 39 does mean your age-related baseline risk is slightly higher, which is why doctors flag intermediate results more carefully for mummies in that age group. It doesn't mean something is wrong, it just means they want to be thorough and so do you. If your NIPT comes back with any concerns, your OB will likely refer you for amniocentesis which gives a definitive answer. That conversation can happen when and if you need it. In the meantime, be kind to yourself. Try not to spiral too deep into the numbers. So many mummies have had similar FTS results and gone on to have perfectly healthy babies, and the NIPT is very likely to give you clarity and reassurance. Please do update us when your results come in. We are here with you through this. 🤍

Mama and baby insurance

Any recommendations for mama and baby insurances? When should we start purchasing?

week13 can start to look around already or even earlier for insurance submission, because t2 is usually all the complications start to kick in.
