Morning sickness

Hi all mummies, I’m currently at week 10 with my little baby and I have been suffering from bad nauseousness since week 5, when I found out I was preg. I have not actually thrown up but I constantly felt unwell with nauseous feeling. Today, however, I felt slightly better and was able to eat more and also starting farting more. I wanted to check with fellow experienced mummies when did your nauseousness started to go away? And how did it feel when it started to fade away? Many thanks in advance 😊#firsttimemom #advicepls

Week 36 still nauseous and vomiting! I’ve tablet for nauseous from KKH, brand new. Letting go if you’re keen.

Frequent heartburn and brixton hicks at 31 week

Have been having frequent heartburn and brixton since the end of August. It makes me lose my appetite to eat and sleep. My pelvic area kind of feels cramped when trying to turn in bed even when walking for a few steps, but the pain is still quite bearable. Im not quite sure if i should take it seriously.

yups, very normal to have these. Can take gaviscon for the heartburn, and try to move slowly for the pelvic pain

Haemorrhoids, currently in 3rd trimester

Hi Ladies, I am 28 weeks pregnant currently and in last 1 week I have pain during poo. This is my 2nd baby and I had anal fissures before 4 years (before my 1st child). I had no issues so far, but now I notice piles and have pain, somtimes blood due to pressure when I poo. Can someone suggest safe remedies, as for me it naturally disappeared last time.

Need help from mommy please

I dont know if any pregnant moms had this before. Currently 35weeks and since last night i have been having "numbness" on my left thigh.. it's on and off and affecting only at the front part of my left thigh. The feeling is like when im scratching on the numb part on bare skin, it feels like im scratching over a layer of clothing/cloth. I hope your understanding what i mean. Is that normal? Im freaking out.. #firsttimemom #advicepls #FTM #firstbaby

Hi, can I check the duration of your gynae visit at KKH (if private route). I spent 3 hours in total, for registration, routine scan, AMC ultrasound then finally seeing the doctor. This is my first visit. Is this normal?

Mummy with severe allergy - hives

I have been having allergies even before pregnant and can only be controlled with medication as cream doesn’t help. Usually take zyrtec which has cetirizine dihydrochloride. During pregnancy I tried not to take any medication but the allergy is so bad that it spreads to the whole body including face even without me scratching it and I have sleepless nights due to this. To sleep peacefully I have no choice but to take the medication which I have also consulted gynae Which they said it’s fine to take. But was wondering will there be any complication if taken on daily basis since the allergy will flare up mostly on daily basis and won’t go away until medication is taken? Worry that it will affect baby and I’m only in my 2nd trimester & still have months to go..

I consulted a specialist before, he said the the safest antihistamine is chlorpheniramine :)

I'm actually thinking of getting this to do some exercise at home (partly to relieve my limbs aching also). But I don't know whether this is suitable or not. I need advice. #pleasehelp #advicepls #firsttimemom #firstbaby

Home Exercise

This is fine bt need to be extra careful as prone to falling

Worried. Baby is larger than normal despite me trying hard to control my diet

Im not overweight, no GD, no preeclampsia. At 26 weeks, my baby was 1kg. 31 weeks baby was 2kg (1kg in 5 weeks), larger than average at 75 percentile. Doctor says baby weight is still considered ok, as long as I still ate healthy and dont over eat should be fine. But the problem is, I was still throwing up like crazy, and ate close to nothing, and I gained no weight from 26 to 31 weeks (at first i was very worried baby will be underweight... how is it that my baby has gained so much instead?). I told the doctor this, and he said the baby will take whatever he needs from me (no matter whether I ate or not? - so i was thinking omg if i were able to eat more will my baby be even larger?! 😩). Last I checked at 35 weeks, baby is already 3kg. Still ate as per normal, but this time less throwing up. Been eating quite healthily, like salads, cooked sushi, fish soup, YTF etc, less carbs, less fried, less oily less sweet stuff and sometimes i only ate 2 tiny meals a day but baby still grew quite a bit (1kg in 4 weeks)! It has been a little more than a week now after my last checkup and I feel my tummy seemed to have increase in size quite a lot. (More than usual). Could be more amniotic fluid, also could be my baby grew v fast again. I am worried. At this pace, baby might exceed 3.5kg or possibly 4kg when I give birth. 😩 And I believe I am quite petite, so I am afraid it may be v difficult for me. (Currently 154, 50kg at 36+ weeks). Doctor adviced me to do some pelvic exercises to stretch my pelvis. He says since I am quite petite, he says he wouldnt wait too long for the birth and he will look at inducing if there's still no sign of labour at 38 weeks as it would harder for me if the baby grows too large (tho im afraid baby may already be v large at 38 weeks). But I have heard that inducing can be very long and also painful, and if it fails and baby is distressed, still need to have emergency c section too... Feeling very worried.

I believe sometimes its the genes that made baby still grow big despite not eating much.
