Watery stools / diarrhea

Hi mummies! I have been experiencing watery stools more commonly during pregnancy. Anyone know what medicine or any food that is appropriate to take / cures it better during pregnancy? Does charcoal pills work? Po chai pills used to work for me pre-pregnancy but it’s highly not advisable to take during pregnancy. Thanks in advance!!

my KKH gynae said charcoal pills is fine. Po chai pills not advisable as it’s Chinese medicine/herbs. Diarrhoea is common. It’s either you get diarrhoea or constipation during your pregnancy period. But do double check with your own gynae for assurance.

Week 5, feeling light nauseous but feel better after eating something

Hi, I am about on Week 5, I felt bit bloated and light nauseous (not so serious that I need to vomit) but I feel I need to eat something light in order to get the nauseous feeling to go away. Is it normal, or if anyone feeling the same? I am afraid I eat too much also. Thank you in advance. #1stimemom #advicepls

Hi, it is normal. Eat and drink in smaller portions but shorter intervals. Can try sipping on 100plus ( it works well for me ) through out the day to help with the nausea.

Hi Mummies! After a long years of hiatus (🤣), I am at it again. Last pregnancy was 7 years ago, and my last child (son), is 6 now, going to P1 soon. Kinda not expecting that I’m able to conceive again at 38, but thank God, I made it. Conceived naturally. How about you? If you are still trying, keep on doing it. With God’s will, you can! 🫂❤️

Back at it

That's wonderful news, congratulations on your pregnancy! Seven years is quite a gap, so you must be feeling all the emotions right now. My friend went through something similar after a big gap and she said the second time around felt different - she was more relaxed about things but also more aware of what to expect, which helped. Wishing you a smooth journey ahead and all the best with managing a P1 child and pregnancy at the same time!

Cervical polyp and bleeding

Hello fellow mummies! Can anyone with polyp and bleeding advise what should I do? I’m currently 9 weeks preggy, and I have a mid size cervical polyp which is making me bleed on and off for 1 week and I see bits of blood clots occasionally. It scares me as i tend to bleed more recently. My gynae gave me a 2 weeks supply of Duphaston tablets + 1 progesterone jab, but it doesn’t seem to help with my bleeding at all. Halpssss :( Each toilet visit, each sneeze, each wipe after peeing makes me scared and worried at the same time #cervicalpolyp #bleeding

Hi, I understand how worrying this is as I experienced the same thing as you. Mine started with mild bleeding. As I was still in early stage of pregnancy hence, I went to check and the doctor mentioned that I got polyp too. Doctor prescribed hormones pills for me to support the pregnancy as it was in early stage. Thankfully, the bleeding stops after I finished the entire cycle of medicine and doctor mentioned it highly will drop off when you deliver. His advice to me was to monitor the bleeding, not to carry heavy things and minimise exercising. Do monitor the bleeding and I hope it stops for you soon!! Best to check with your gynae again if the bleeding doesn’t stop!

Fetal heartbeat

Hi mummies. Im curious about listening to baby heartbeat during scans. I have two scans done at 8 weeks and 12 weeks at NUH. Dr and sonographer mentioned they dont allow to listen to baby heartbeat. Just show the flickering is enough. Any one knows why?

I think it's a standard protocol at most hospitals here, including KKH where I did my scans. The sonographers explained to me that the machines aren't really set up for audio output during routine scans, and they keep the ultrasound exposure to the minimum needed just to check what they need to check. The flickering heartbeat is honestly enough to confirm baby is doing well, even though it would be nice to hear it. Some private clinics do offer Doppler heartbeat recordings as an add-on, but most of the restructured hospitals like NUH tend to stick to the visual confirmation only.
