Fetal movements/patterns

Hi! Am 30 weeks plus today. Have been told by gynaes that I shld alrdy know my baby pattern so that I can look out for reduced movement but I CANT TELL baby pattern and it's freaking me out everyday. There can be days where baby moves every minute. Like I can have 30 kick count in an hour, for hours. And then on other days, just maybe 1 - 2 kicks in 5 hours, and I won't be able to meet my 10 kick counts in an hour. It's so confusing because I'm confused with quiet days and reduced movements and it's really scaring me. Anyone else gave the same issue? What do you all suggest? Cold drinks and sweet stuff don't really work for me too.

I’ve never really counted my baby kicks because whenever I go in zen mode, my baby goes in zen mode too… She only moves when I am busy or weird timings like 2-3am she’ll start to party inside. Same as us, there are lazy days where we don’t wanna move at all. But if thru out the day I feel at least movements/kicks from her I’m good. Baby is full term and healthy.

How to make baby gain weight

I just had my 28-week scan, and the doctor said my baby is on the smaller side. Her weight is only 985g, and I’ve been advised to start monitoring her movements and go for more frequent check-ups. Even though the doctor told me not to worry too much, I can’t help but feel anxious. Do you guys have any suggestions on how I can help my baby gain more weight?

Eat durian, or more sugary stuff.

Exhausted with work/life

Hi, Im in my 30th week now and i feel very tired with work and life overall. It sometimes affects my mood and makes me cry out of nowhere which is very unusual for me. My whole pregnancy has been a positive journey up till now. I have upper back and lower back pain, feet pains and often cramping on my calves during night time. I'm working retail, standing quite a bit for 5 days a week although its not a 12 hour shift. My maternity leave only starts on november but i really cannot take this much longer. Any advice on what I can do? Is hospital leave possible and if yes how do i go about it? Sorry I'm a first time mom and doing all this basically on my own.

what you can do is tell the doctor about this and maybe just add in that you're in pain sometimes to a point that you can't work. you can ask for hospitalisation leave and the doctor would definitely give you. I'm not sure if they'll give you a long hospitalisation leave but try asking for as much as possible. remember to add in that you're in pain. maybe it's cramps or just lower back pain.

Anyone able to share the rate for thomson medical’s 1 bedder rate (natural birth)?

You can go down to the hospital and check with their customer service! They will print out the estimated cost for each delivery method and room types. You can bring back the paper.

Spotting brownish at week 25 from low lying placenta

I was admitted last week for spotting and they discharged me 2 days after it cleared. No bleeding since then. The hospital gave me 2 weeks of HL, but I was advised by my colleague who used to work for an o&g dr that usually such cases dr won't allow them back to work until the placenta has moved up. Any one facing such issue any advice?

I had low lying placenta with spotting before too 🥺 Honestly different gynaes give different advice depending on how low the placenta is, amount of bleeding, and your job scope. Some are okay with returning to work if bleeding stopped, others prefer strict rest especially if there was an admission already. Brown spotting usually means old blood, but with placenta issues it’s still something to take seriously. Personally I’d take it easy even after discharge — avoid heavy lifting, long walking, standing too long, sex, etc until your next review 😅 Most importantly monitor for fresh red bleeding, cramps or tightening. If your work is physically tiring/stressful maybe worth discussing extension of HL with your gynae 🙏🏻

Baby Kicking in 16 weeks and above

The apps said that on 16 weeks u can sort of feels the baby kicking already. How do i feels when baby is kicking especially when the baby is quite small yet now? It feels like scratching or how?

If you feel something like bubbles popping, it’s actually your baby’s kick!

It may sounds silly. But I do curious if I have large portion meal will it hurt the baby in womb? I m so used to my intermittent fasting and big portion meal. Sometime it’s so hard for me to know what’s the correct portion size for me. Does any one know is the baby gonna be run of space if I put too much food and liquid in my stomach? 😩😩

Nope it doesnt hurt the baby, eat all u want as long as u feel fine. The discomfort that may arise is from heartburn coz as u mentioned,not much space, so food may go upwards.
