Impossible to sleep comfortably

Im now in third trim, 33 weeks, with a big heavy bump. Why is it getting harder to sleep 😭😭😭 the tummy always feel very very uncomfortable, heavy, suffocating, makes you feel restless and sometimes even crampy. I have tried putting small pillow to support my below, also doesnt works. I really miss having a long comfortable sleep 😭 see my husband sleep everynight like wah so shiok. I always end up falling asleep multiple times and work and sometimes feel like taking mc the next day. And people telling me to get as much as sleep as possible before baby comes when i can barely even sleep now (‘: Kind of envy ladies who have small bump throught their pregnancy.

Dr Manisha Mathur (KKH) or Dr Biswas (NUH)?

In a little pickle and can't seem to decide between these two gynaes. I'm ftm. I'm looking for gynae who is pro natural and empathetic. My pain tolerance is bad and I'm worried I may get panic attack in labour room (no judgement pls). I would like to avoid c sec unless its really necessary and I've heard alot of KKH not being as pro natural as NUH, hence the back and forth. So far my pregnancy is low risk but I've yet to do detailed scan. I've not met either gynae yet. NUH is closer to my home by 10 mins as compared to KKH. I was initially keen to take Prof su from NUH but she's not available on my edd. Any mums could share experience with either gynae pls.

I really feel you on this, being a first-time mum and already thinking so carefully about your birth experience shows how much heart you're putting into this, and that anxiety about the labour room is so valid and understandable. I haven't personally seen either of these two doctors, but since NUH is closer to home and you were already leaning that way, that proximity can actually matter more than you think when you're heavily pregnant or in early labour. My honest suggestion would be to book a first consult with Dr Biswas and just have an open conversation about your birth preferences and your anxiety, because how a gynae responds to that very first honest chat tells you a lot about whether they're the right fit for you lah.

Mosquito bite prone?

I’m 6-7weeks pregnant and recently I’ve been getting so many mosquito bites. I live in Singapore. I read that pregnant woman are 2x likely to get mosquito bitten, but it’s like 10 bites every time I go out. Immediately. Is this normal and does anyone have some tips :(

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.

Any good C Sec gynae to recommend?

Heard quite a few good C-section experience with Prof HK Tan (SGH) and also Dr Benjamin Tham (TMC) . Wonder if anyone can share their experience or what they heard? I don’t know which gynae to choose. #advicepls #CsDelivery #ceasarian #CeasarianDeliver #CeasarianMom

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?

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!
