Should i opt for normal birth or csec ?

Hello mummies, i went for my last growth scan and doc told me that my baby weight is 3.1 at 36 weeks. Next week, at week 37 i would need to tell my doc whether i want to opt for normal birth or csec. Doc also explained that if i want normal birth, i would be induced in week 38 as afraid that my baby will grow even more thats why they recommend to induce in week 38. But they also don’t recommend me to go for normal birth as they afraid that due to my big size baby, it could affect the baby shoulder and oxygen level during giving birth. But i do really wanna opt for normal birth. So mummies, i really do need your opinion on this. What do you think ?

I guess it will be better to do elective c sect since that’s what your gynae recommends. If worse come to worse, you may have to go through emergency c sect then you have to go through both :/

So scared. Being a parent in covid times.

With the vast majority of covid cases being asymptomatic and daily cases in the 2000s range, does any pregnant mummy or mummy with small unvaccinated children feel the same as me -- paranoid about who you have maskless activity with? It's like whomever you eat with could appear fine but who knows if they are already a carrier? I worry about eating with anyone outside of my own household. There is no one in our family who can help take care of my small baby so I'm really afraid and staying home, avoiding social interactions. Meanwhile I still see my parent friends dining out, visiting friends/family houses maskless. I'm also very afraid of bringing baby to visit FIL because he goes out every single day and works at a place full of old people that recently erupted into a huge cluster. I was so terrified when the news came out and he had just interacted days ago with baby *maskless* because he thinks he is vaccinated and doesn't need to wear mask at his own home. Everyday I was paranoid and wondering and praying for my baby to be safe, until he finally cleared all his PCR, ART tests. He still keeps asking us to go over with baby. 😔 It's so tough to be a parent now isn't it.

I have an unvaccinated 7 mth old baby and an unvaccinated 10 yrs old son. We've stopped going out since 3 weeks ago. Thank God it's HBL now. But can't imagine for the back to school period in 2 weeks time. His school already had 3 cases back to back in less than a week and it was frightening! He came back home 1 day complaining of fever. I was paranoid, brought him to the GP and thank God it was negative. I've also stopped visiting my parents & in-laws. Reason is my parents are foodstall holders and meet alot of people on weekdays and my FIL is a working man so I think it's best to avoid everyone for the time being until the cases has decrease. We really miss going out, to the park and dining out. But safety is priority. Really hope 'they' do something to curb the cluster and cases from rising more.

How do mummies do confinement?

I’m doing a c sect and would like to seek some advices on how to do confinement. My house aircon is spoilt and I heard that I can’t have the fan blowing directly at me. I’m not sure how I gonna tahan it.. Any other ideas what I can do/cannot do?

I did confinement 5 times. 4 x fan directly blowing at me, showered daily and moved house before I had my 5th, had the A/C and fan on towards me. Coming to 40. No aches whatsoever. You'll be sweating like crazy in confinement. What I avoided was the natural wind outside home, not the fan, not the A/C.

Loss of Appetite

Hi hi, I’m a FTM, at Week 4 Day 6 now. I realise I’m starting to lose my appetite nowadays. I hardly feel hungry too. Is that normal in a pregnancy though? Somehow, it’s worrying me; of course I want my baby’s development to be well and healthy but I can’t seem to force myself to consume at some point. I work long retail hours and require a lot of walking. Nonetheless, I do ensure that I keep myself hydrated and have my bottle of mineral water with me all the time.

Yes mummy. Definitely normal. Although it is always best to eat small meals so the baby will still be sufficiently provided with nutrients they need to grow healthy

I am always the one at fault

I am the main caregiver for my daughter, feed her, teach her, plays with her. So when she gets some scratches here and there it will always be my fault that I din do a good job. Or when her shoes are too tight my husband says then just don't wear the shoes, I am like she is walking now how can she dun wear shoes? He say since cases are high don't go out. My girl already rarely goes out and now don't even bring her to park? I don't know what I have done wrong, everything I do is wrong.

It sounds like the problem is not with you but with your husband. He is nitpicking, it is easy to find fault with any situation and not provide a viable solution. I think there is an underlying issue here - he may be frustrated with something but doesn't know what exactly, or doesn't want to say, and is just lashing out with small things that won't break the status quo. It's emotionally draining for you. I feel the solution is not for you to try harder or start an argument, but for someone to point out to him that he is unintentionally being an AH and remind him to be kind.

Eat play sleep (9weeks old)

Any babies out there having this eat play sleep routine? Im currently fully breastfeeding my baby. My baby ended up with play eat sleep :( tried feeding her after she wake up and then play with her but when after playing with her i can see she like hungry again. Then i will feed her and she will fall asleep while breastfeeding. The best I could do is when i see her falling asleep i will put her down and if she wakes up i wont pick her up so she knows how to drift back to sleep on her own. Anybody experiencing the same issue? And how did yall make sure baby doesnt associate feeding to sleep?

Perfectly normal! They sleep & drink most times and because they still don't know how to differentiate morning and night yet. You can start sleep training when baby is much older.
