Recommendation on skincare and cosmetics during pregnancy?

Great if you can recommend a few products for day/night routine please! #advicepls #FTM

For a simple day/night routine, a lot of mums I know have been happy with gentle basics, something like Simple or Cetaphil for cleansing, CeraVe moisturiser, and a fragrance-free mineral sunscreen to keep things low-risk. For actives, azelaic acid and vitamin C are generally considered safe and are useful if you're dealing with the hormonal pigmentation that tends to creep up mid-pregnancy, though some mums prefer to skip actives entirely just to be cautious, both approaches are reasonable. For local options, Sigi Skin and Handmade Heroes come up quite a bit as pregnancy-friendly brands, since Handmade Heroes in particular is vegan and free from added preservatives, which gives some mums peace of mind. My friend who delivered last year said she just stuck to the basics throughout, cleanser, moisturiser, SPF in the day, and a thicker CeraVe cream at night, and found that keeping it simple actually worked better for her changing skin anyway. The trade-off is you might not be targeting specific concerns aggressively, but for most of pregnancy that steadier approach tends to cause fewer surprises.

Sparklestots infant care

Any mummies and daddies en rolled their child to infant care at sparklestot? Do you get to visit the centre before enrolment ? Any observation allowed on the first day for parents? #infantcare #infant #firstTime_mom

Honestly, from what I've heard, PCF Sparkletots does allow you to visit the centre before committing, it's worth calling your specific branch directly since experiences can vary quite a bit between locations. Someone in my mum group mentioned that some branches were quite welcoming for a pre-enrolment look-around, while others were more limited in what they'd let you observe, so it really depends on the centre head. On the first-day observation question, most parents I've spoken to say full in-class observation isn't usually offered, but the teachers do give you a proper handover and settling-in window, which is better than nothing. For enrolment, do have your child's birth certificate, both parents' NRICs, health booklet, and vaccination records ready, they're quite thorough about the checklist. Overall, Sparkletots has a solid reputation as an anchor operator with subsidies to help with fees, but I'd say visit at least two or three branches before deciding, since the individual teachers really make the difference.

Vomiting non stop

Hi wondermama out there, my 14months old kept vomiting after her meal, had fever on and off. We brought her to the GP doctor said it’s just stomach flu and it should go away in 1-2 days. Prescribed her anti vomiting and fever medicine. But seems like the medicine doesn’t help. She still vomited quite an amount since then. Any similar experience dear mommas?? Should I admit her to hospital? #firstTime_mom #worried

Oh dear, hang in there, first-time mum with a sick toddler is really stressful, especially when the medicine doesn't seem to be working. Someone in my mum group mentioned that the key signs to watch for are whether your little one is getting dehydrated, so check if she has dry lips, no tears when crying, or hasn't had a wet diaper in 6 hours or more, because at 14 months they can go downhill quite fast. If the fever has been going on more than 48 hours and she still can't keep anything down despite the anti-vomiting medicine, that's usually when most mums feel it's safer to just head to the A&E rather than wait another day, better to be checked and sent home than to delay. Some mums feel the GP is enough for mild cases, but when medicine isn't helping at all, a paediatrician at the hospital can assess properly and may put her on a drip if she's dehydrated. Trust your gut, you know your child best, and if she looks lethargic or just "not right," don't hesitate to bring her in. Do check with your paediatrician or A&E doctor directly though, as they can give the most accurate advice for her specific condition.

Currently subsidised route in NUH. When should I change to private?

Hi mummies! I’m worried about the expensive private costs. Any recommendation when is a good time for me to change to private NUH instead of subsidised? Ultimately I would like to stay in A class ward during delivery, and I know subsidised doesn’t allow for that. Thank you!
