Super itchy tummy

Is there any way to stop belly from being sooo itchy ? Now that my bump is big i guess the skin is stretched, its always always sooo itchy. Especially the middle lower and mid upper. I cant help but to scratch sometimes. Other than stretch mark creams, Ive applied suu balm and aloe vera for weeks or even more than a month or two, even the essential oil balm, its only temp relief then itll get itchy again (no rash or anything) Will it stay like this thruout the whole 3rd trim until birth 😩 i would also constantly wake up in the middle of the night to scratch, altho they say try not to scratch

I used a wet or cold towel to relief the itch.

Worried about birth with big baby

I had my 32+4 week scan and baby is weighing 2.2kg. Gynae told me to watch my diet and walk 10k steps daily so that baby will be 3.2kg at birth/birth will be easier. I actually don’t overeat in general, only brunch and dinner everyday and sweet treat once a week (started craving for sweet stuff in third tri). Feeling abit stressed with controlling my diet or eating when I’m hungry now because I’m so afraid I’m causing baby to be big size :( Any mummies with similar experience with bigger babies? I just need some advice and reassurance 😢 #firstbaby #FTM

Hello! My gynae also mentioned I have a big baby, but pls pls dun control ur diet too much until ure too stressed up or unhappy, which is even worst for the baby n ur mental health. Opt for C-sect if baby is too big.

37 weeks and dilemma

Hi mummies I am FTM I am not sure if i want to go for natural delivery or c sect, my constipation today i think made small tear near my anus it’s sting when kena water. If a hard poop can make the skin tear easily then isnt the childbirth will make me tear even more to the point reach 3rd or 4th degree? 🙁 I know i have to decide asap but c sect ppl say recovery is slower😵‍💫

Talk to ur gynae, believe they have some meds for constipation. Drink loads of water n eat a lot of greens! I wanted to try natural birth, induce for 3 days, unable to and went under emergency C-sect. Recovery is much slower, especially when my baby cries, and I almost went into depression coz can’t get up from my bed without help (due to tenosynovitis on both wrist) coz of the useless confinement nanny that I can’t trust

If need to remove need go treatment which will cost few k?

yes cannot remove cos it’s genetic. it’ll lighten after delivery

Week 12 and I have gained 5kg

I'm in Week 12, and I have gone from 54 to 59kg. I eat very often since I am pregnant to avoid nausea. I'll start vomitting whenever I feel hungry (even the slightest), and I cant let it as I need to teach in class. Lesson hour usually varies from 2 to 4 hours, sometimes back to back. Too small a portion can't last long before I'll feel nauseous again. Any advice/tips? #advicepls #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #nausea #morningsickness

Can try some plain crackers or nuts in moderation

Baby move less when gg out

Currently in my 3rd trim. Is it normal that baby moves lesser when we’re walking all day or like running errands? He does move but i notice he move lesser whenver i go out esp when walking alot. Like my whole stomach will become hard all the way. But baby would start moving back to normal when im back home and settled down.

I’m in 2nd tri and I also realize my baby moves in the morn and at night at home more!

Lonely pregnancy

In my 3rd trimester now. Through out the pregnancy, do you guys ever feel lonely ? It’s a different kind of lonely feeling. No matter how many people are around you, you just feel lonely and like you’re in this journey by yourself. Yes, your husband is around you but sometimes they dont feel or understand what we feel or what we’re going through. To them, we women are built to be pregnant. Not thinking we are also normal human being and also a first time mom, and new to this. The people around you are more to looking forward to the delivery of the baby, but never ask about the mummy’s mental health or condition. If they are ok, if they are coping. And when baby’s born, theyre gonna claim themself as oh im the aunt oh im the grandma etc etc when they have never been there for you throughout your pregnancy. #FTM

I feel like my hubby was supportive during my pregnancy, but after I popped, he bochup and sometimes forget he is a daddy already and has to do some "baby duties"

Pain on right side

Recently I’ve been having these random sudden intense pain radiating from the right side of my belly (near the belly button). Seems like it’s always on the same spot but I’m not sure what is it. It can last as short as 5 mins but ytd I was in pain for the whole night when I lay on my side. Any other mummies experienced the same before? I’m at my 26w now :\

Someone in my mum group mentioned this before, and a few of them said it turned out to be round ligament pain, where the ligaments supporting your growing uterus stretch and cause those sudden sharp, stabbing spasms near the belly button or right hip area. The tricky part is that round ligament pain usually passes quickly, so when yours lasted the whole night, that's the bit that would make me a little more cautious, it could also be dehydration or your uterus putting pressure on surrounding organs as baby grows. Most mums found it manageable once they knew what it was, but a pain that intense and prolonged really deserves a proper check rather than guessing.
