Vagina feels “ ‘Dry’

Hi all! I’m currently in my second trimester now. My first pregnancy, I do not have any issue with my vagina feeling dry during sex. I enjoyed sex since Second trimester onwards. But for this pregnancy, I realise that my vagina is dry although I get aroused although in my second trimester. I wish to try using lubricant but abit worried 😭 Is there any brands of lubricant that is safe for pregnancy?

Oh no, vaginal dryness during pregnancy is more common than people think, so please don't worry, you're definitely not alone! A few mums I know have mentioned brands like Conceive Plus and Pre-Seed as good options, since they're water-based and gentle enough even during pregnancy. The general advice I've heard is to avoid anything oil-based or with added fragrances and just stick to water-based, pH-balanced formulas since those tend to be the gentlest. That said, do check with your gynae first just to be safe, she'll know best what suits your specific pregnancy!

Can I eat spicy foods while pregnant?

Yup no issue for the baby actually! Just that it might cause some heart burn and discomfort for you.

Foods to avoid during early pregnancy?

Hi I’m a FTM, just found out I’m a bout 5 weeks pregnant. I haven’t scheduled a doctors appointment but have been trying to be more conscious of foods I eat. But everytime I google something, even if it’s a fruit, there’s a lot of different answers and that causes anxiety. Is it true we should steer away from certain heaty or cooling foods? I have stopped drinking coffee or tea, and started taking my fish oils and multivits. #pregnancy #FTM

I avoided all the cold and “cooling” food

Ultrasound scan heartbeat

Hi everyone! I went in for my scan few days ago at around 7w and the doctor detected a heart beat at 162bpm. He told me that it should be normal but upon googling, it seems like 162bpm at 7w is a bit too fast and normal range should be about 120bpm? Can anyone advise? Also, I started having some bad symptoms at 5w (dizziness, nausea, food aversions, sore boobs) currently at 8w and my symptoms seems to have reduced. nausea seems to reduced quite a bit. My appetite is also getting better. Is that something I should be worried about? 😭 isn’t it too early for my symptoms to get better?

faint feeling after exercise

hi mamas, I used to be very active and a gym-rat (I attend gym classes 3-4 times a week). ever since I found out I'm pregnant, I stopped exercising because I am so exhausted all the time. people have been advising me to exercise even if it's just 15mins a day so labor will be easier. but recently when I started doing simple pregnancy pilates exercises for 15mins, I start feeling faint within 30mins. should I continue to build stamina or just stop doing such workouts? #firsttimemom

Which trimester are you in? I was v tired in first tri and wasn’t allowed to exercise by my gynae but in 2nd tri it got better!

Trying to exercise

Trying to exercise recently as i have gained weight tremendously over past weeks. Went to the gym but didnt dare to do too intensive exercise so was walking/light jogging on threadmill, and doing some hand exercises (pulling/pushing kind at a very comfortable weight of 5kg). Slow cycling on stationary bike. I didnt sweat at all in the gym but i do feel increase in heart rate during exercise and the soreness in my arms the next day. Jus wondering how about the intensity for prenatal classes like pilates or yoga? Im not a sportsy person and i do not want to spend on these classes hence opting for free options.

hello, are you open to getting a trainer? I hired a post partum trainer. he was very attentive to my needs and demands. lost 10kg

miscalculate my pregnancy... thought it was preterm labour

At just 8 months into my pregnancy... I suddenly felt intense cramps. Contractions all night long. I was terrified of going into premature labor. Coincidentally, I had been doing some heavy activity that day... and was a bit tired. I immediately went to the hospital with my husband. And you know what? Turns out I was really about to give birth. And want to know more? Turns out my pregnancy was actually 9 months! I was a month ahead of my estimate not because of premature birth, but because of MISCALCULATION......... oh my, I felt so relieved because I had actually planned to go on vacation before giving birth. But luckily, I was still at home and had easy access to the hospital. Be careful and always make sure your pregnancy is safe, parents. Anyone had a similar experience?
