Help! Parents Argument Solution

My pregnant wife and I had a heated argument last month. Since then, she stops talking and keeps ignoring me till now. I did ask her politely if she is free to talk to me or even for help. She shook her head and ignored me. What should I do?

I understand this is really tough, especially when she's pregnant and emotions are already running high. From what I've seen with friends, sometimes pregnant mums need a bit of space after conflict, but a month is quite long and the silent treatment can eat away at both of you. Have you tried writing her a note or message instead of talking face-to-face, just to say you're sorry and that you want to work things out, no pressure? Sometimes that feels less confrontational and gives her time to process. If things don't improve soon, it might be worth considering couples counselling together, just to have someone neutral help you both communicate better before the baby comes, because you'll need to be a team then.

EDD Nov 2026 - any group chat for fathers?

My baby EDD is this November 2026. I am not sure if it is too early to create group chat but let me know the link.

It's never too early to start connecting with other dads lah, especially since you've got a few months to go and the support during pregnancy and after delivery really helps. You might want to check if there are existing November 2026 birth month groups already on AsianParent, or even start one yourself if there isn't, since by now there should be quite a few dads with the same EDD looking to connect. I'd say just post in the main forums asking if anyone else is expecting around the same time and keen to join a chat, and things tend to grow from there quite organically.

18 weeks and starting to vomit

Just hit 18 weeks and started to feel pukey and having trouble keeping food down. Is this normal? It happens during the day but especially bad in the night. Vomiting almost every night before bed.

This one better see a doctor soon, even though some nausea can linger into the second trimester for some mums. Vomiting almost every night and trouble keeping food down needs checking out because your body needs the nutrients, and the doctor can rule out anything else and help you feel better. Don't wait on this one, please make an appointment with your gynae or go to A&E if you're feeling really unwell.

Anterior placenta

Hi mummies what week do you feel baby kicking, I'm at 19 weeks, yet to feel anything

Week 19 is too early! If you feel something like bubbles popping, that’s your baby’s kick! You can feel it around week 24/25? The kick will be more obvious when the space is much lesser for your baby. Right now your baby got a lot of spaces in your womb that’s why you can’t feel the kick even when your baby is moving.

SG delivery hospital

Anyone delivered your baby in Parkway East Hospital recently or planning to this year? Would love to have some reviews on it!

My friend delivered her second one at Parkway East last year and she was really happy with the experience, especially the ward setup and the nursing staff were attentive. The only thing is it's a bit pricey compared to KKH or private wings at other hospitals, but if you're looking at private delivery with good facilities and personalised care, she said it's worth considering. Have you checked what their package rates are and whether your insurance covers it.

Pregnancy with type 2 diabetes medication advised needed

Did your medication or insulin’s dosage change as your pregnancy progressed?

This one really needs your doctor's close eye, especially since medication changes in pregnancy can affect baby and mum. Every pregnancy is different, so it's important to have your endocrinologist or OB follow your levels regularly and adjust things as needed. Please make sure you're seeing your doctor regularly for this - they'll monitor your blood sugar trends and adjust your medication or insulin doses as your pregnancy changes. Wishing you all the best with this.

Prenatal multivitamins and folate

First pregnancy Doctor prescribed me the 21st century prenatal vitamins that already contain folic acid. Do i still continue eating the folic acid that i have been eating? Or should i stop?

Prenatal multivitamins and folate

yes agree. check the dosage because too much can cause issues too. my gynae told me to stop folic acid because the multivits alr have enough.

Nausea @ 12 weeks

Hi, just wondering if other mummies go through severe nausea and vomitting throughout their first trimester. I have been on Bonjesta from my gynae, maybe it is me but the meds just wears off faster. Went to A&E because i was constantly vomitting and the ER drs gave me metoclopramide but i am still going through these waves of nausea and vomitting 🥲 wondering if any mummies have at home remedies because all my sick leaves has been utilised during this first trimester because of the nausea and vomitting episodes.... #askmommies

I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds really draining especially with the sick leave running out. Severe nausea and vomiting in the first trimester is common but yours sounds quite intense even with the Bonjesta and metoclopramide, so it might be worth following up with your gynae again to see if there are other options or a different dosing schedule that works better for you. Some mums find ginger tea, small frequent meals, and staying hydrated help take the edge off between medication doses, but honestly the fact that you've needed A&E means your body is signalling something needs adjusting. Your doctor might also want to check if you're at risk of hyperemesis gravidarum given how persistent this is, so definitely reach out to them rather than trying to push through at this point.
