Delivering without husband

Dear mamas, how do you prep yourself for delivery alone without husband? As the husband is working overseas, can only be scheduled to come by after delivery of baby

My husband too is incredibly busy and only managed to go to my first antenatal appointment at 28 weeks. Missing out 6 appointments. We have a toddler also right now and he is just hustling to do as much before the baby comes. I feel you ❤️ This is what I’ve done to keep my pregnancy a positive one - listen to birth stories and podcasts on Spotify - read birthing books such as ina may's guide to childbirth, Hypnobirthing by Marie F. Mongan - attend hypnobirthing classes - join mom groups on facebook and make friends (I’ve made 2 so far 😅) - only surround yourself with good company (the ones that don’t judge you for what you do or plan during your pregnancy) - hired a doula for my birth at the hospital just incase my husband can’t be there. (I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and am doing all of this right now) You’ll need all the support (mental and physically) during this time. I hope this helps ❤️ sending you all the good vibes. You are stronger than you think. All the best, okay. P.S you can reply if you need like more suggestions cause the above is just a gist of it ;)

Gynae mention that my water bag increase abit but still borderline.

Am worried, as gynae is considering to induce me early as nxt wk or hopefully when im 37wks. Any tips/idea to give water bag increase more during this wk. #firstbaby #worriedmummy

Try your very best to avoid medical interventions unless you or your baby or both of you are in distress or in danger. Trust your body will do it’s job by protecting your baby and offer your baby a safe passage into delivery. Reason I’m saying so is, 37 weeks is cutting it rather early. And most women during their first pregnancy tend to go beyond 40 weeks. It is safe as long as there is no bleeding or meconium or other signs that you or your baby is in danger. Also I gave birth in 2019 being induced and all. It failed after 18hours and I resorted to a cesarean cause my cervix was not “ripe” at 40 weeks. Now that I am on my second pregnancy, my doctor is one of the best in sg, dr Paul Tseng and he believes that no medical intervention should be performed unless baby or mommy is in danger. Have a trusted delivery team. Trust your body. I think the water bag thing isn’t an issue unless you see for yourself that your baby is in serious distress. All the best, you can do it. ❤️

Mount Alvernia or Thomson Medical?

I cannot decide which hospital to go for. Would really appreciate some feedback.

My first choice gyane was at Thomson but I went with my second choice gyane at Mt Alvernia because the parking/valet situation at Thomson is atrocious.

Hypothyroidism in second trimester

I had hyperthyroidism for a decade and was normal for 1-2 years. Recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism in my second trimester and gynae asked me to eat thyroxine. I checked back with my usual endocrine doctor and he say my readings are actually normal (they usually refer to T4 and TSH) Do anyone know if your gynae looks at “free T3 or T4 readings? My T3 is Low but T4 and TSH is of normal readings.

This might give you some information about hypothyroidism https://sg.theasianparent.com/hypothyroidism-in-pregnancy
