Swapping to private

Currently a subsidised patient at kkh. At which week would y’all advise to swap to private patient ? How is your experience delivering at Kkh as private?

Thành viên VIP

I would say swop asap. Becsuse the popular gyane would be snapped up and they won’t have slots for you. Both my kids were delivered under KKH private. No regrets.

Contract worker and maternity leaves

Hi there! I would like to know what is a good time to share pregnancy news to the company? I’m a term contract worker, and have been working with this company for about one year. My contract ends in September. The contract offered is every 6 months. My EDD is in December. I’m wondering if they would recontract me if I share with them too early. Anyone have similar experience?

If you worked more than 3 months with the company, you’ll be entitled to paid maternity leave. I think you should inform them early so they can plan for someone to cover your duties

GDM at 28 weeks pregnanct

Was diagnosed with GDM at 28 weeks , nurse called and went for zoom briefing regards the glucose meter blood take every 2 days in 1 week. Its my 1st day starting to self check at home using the glucose meter and my morning check was okay at 4.8mmol/L But as for 2 hours aft bfast at 10am , 5mins b4 lunch at 1255pm and 2 hours aft lunch at 3pm . All the reading was 7.0mmol/L , 7.1mmol/L and 7.3mmol/L . Is it normal ? I only ate small amount of food that the dietician suggested and drank plenty of plain water only drank soy milk during bfast the rest of my meal i drank plain water . The nurse gave a range of 5.5mmol/L to 6.6mmol/L aft 2 hours of every meal. Before meal the range have to be 4.4mmol/L to 5.5mmol/L But it seems like aft 2 hours it always go up to 7.0+ mmol/L

Mind if I ask, which hospital are you following up with?

Down with cough and flu at 13 weeks pregnant

Dose any mummies went through for going through the same? Wonder if coughing bad will hurt the baby?

No it wouldn’t. In fact during scans with the sonographer, they may sometimes get you to cough hard to get your baby to move.

Plevic bone sharp pain for awhile after sleeping too long on left side(even with pregnancy pillow).

18wks+3 and i'm not sure if I am using my pillow wrongly. Pain was quite bad and went away after 45mins. #pregnancy Anyone can relate and advise?#advicepls #1stimemom

Hi there, i use a double wedge pregnancy pillow and i used to get hip pain. The wedges help supported my back and growing belly, but wasn’t helping with the hip pain. I kept modifying every night with additional bolsters, cushions etc., and finally found that i can hug my bolster when sleeping on the side but my lower leg needs to be straight and only upper leg bent and hugging the bolster. It took me a while to find the right positions and I now have 2 pillows for my head and neck, 1 bolster, the double wedge pregnancy pillow, and another rectangular cushions that supports my bum when I sleep on the side. I dont think you used the pregnancy pillow wrongly, but you might need to find extra pillows or adjust the support towards your pelvic area.

Joyous Mummy Care (JMC) through Thomson Medical

Anyone use JMC for post natal massage before? Able to share your experience?

Thành viên VIP

Hi mum, I can understand wanting to choose the right confinement massage especially when you’re already exhausted after delivery. A friend used JMC through Thomson Medical and said the therapist was gentle and professional, and it helped her recovery quite a bit.
