Im in my 8 weeks of my 2nd pregnancy and ytd night i was having slight "menses" cramp. This morning I experienced it again. The intensity of the pain is rather strong. Sort of like contraction tt kind. Is it normal?

Hopefully u have already headed to the Gyne as per the advices of the earlier 2 comments. Any cramps or spotting pls see Gyne immediately as everybody's tolerance level of pain is different so it is hard to gauge ur slight "menses" cramp is like how. It could be a uterine wall expansion but it Shldnt last more than a few short seconds once in a while

Hi, anyone can advice me what is essential to pack for my delivery bag? I am delivering in Mount Alvernia, is one pack of maternity pad enough? Is it necessary to buy nursing bra for bf?

I used the hospital maternity pad. Yes i bought the nursing bra, i wouldn't say it's necessary. It's a good to have.

When does baby opens his/her eyes after delivery? And when does baby starts movements?

Around 30% of babies open their eyes at birth. 95% of babies have their eyes open within 20 mins of birth

I am currently in my early 3rd trimester. Everytime I am trying to sleep and lying down on my side I feel like vomiting and I can't sleep at all.. I have to sit up straight so the feel of vomiting will go away. And also while sitting up straight I have to burp to feel better.. totally can't get any sleep at night. Anyone going through the same thing as me?

Definitely try sleeping on an incline. When you use the pillows to prop you up, make sure the pillows end at your butt, otherwise you may end up with a backache. Hang in there!

Hi ladies, may I know if is necessary to take any supplement during first trimester? Does ur gynae prescribe any? My gynae didn't give any except folic acid . Thank

Congrates on the pregnancy :) I had folic acid and prenatal vitamins - that should be about it with balance diet that is varied. My Gyne is the more short and sweet kind, only the necessary stuff will do. But do note if u want to take more than that - like calcium supplements etc, u got to check with ur Gyne. Sometimes, it might cause constipation if u did not increase your water intake enough for it - which is a major no-no. More supplements in the second trimester actually - DHA supplement, bird nest, home-made chicken essence Congrats once again !

Hi mommies, I'm in my 12th week now but my weight is not increasing. Sometimes it will drop a bit if I weigh in the morning. I'm eating like small 5 meals a day. My BMI is in normal range. Does anyone experience this? I'm very scared that the baby will not get enough nutrients to grow.

My doctor told me by second trimester the weight will slowly increase. If you can, get high calorie food like durians or potatoes or sweet potatoes to boost up the weight. I took durians (perfect excuse to gain weight), and baby's weight increased pretty quickly so I would say go easy on it. Avoid binge eating so that you have another excuse to eat again. Do be caution too that if you have high risk for gestational diabetes, do consult your doctor.

I had an epidural as well and I am really Glad I did! Congrats on your pregnancy

Can anyone pls tell me what's the difference between Epidural and Spinal for C-sect?? This was captured from Thomson Medical's maternity price list.

An epidural is performed by inserting an injection or a catheter in the epidural space, a membranous area in the spine. A series of drugs will be administered through the catheter. This will bring about a temporary loss of sensation in the area. For spinal anesthesia, it involves the injection of numbing medicine directly into the fluid sac. Both have the same effect of numbing the lower section of the body for delivery. The latter is likely to take effect faster.
