I am currently 15 weeks and this is my first pregnancy. I have been experiencing headache since few weeks ago. It happens almost like everyday early in the morning like 5am/6am even before i wake up. The pain will be starting from neck and all the way up to my head and like those squeezing kind of pain and sometimes is really unbearable. The pain will last for few hours or even half a day before i start to feel better. Any mummy experience this? And remedy to cure this? #advicepls Thanks.

I use medicated oil. If nt just drink lots of water

Glucose reading 3h post dinner

My reading 3h post dinner is higher than 2h post dinner. Does it even make sense? #gdm #advicepls

Yup.. means your diet is still not well balanced. Did you go for a 30mins walk/stroll after your meals? Trust me, it helps..

2nd Pregnancy After Csect

Hi! Need to know if any preggy mommies felt a slight pain (somewhat feels like a stretching but dull pain) on & off for few seconds that lasted for hours around the area where the Csection was done? Im currently at 14weeks & under aspirin as instructed by gynea to atleast help stregthen this pregnancy due to a placental abruption on my first pregnancy.

I had the same feeling from 12 weeks onwards till about 23 weeks or so. But the pain comes and goes and doesn’t last hours, probably just a few minutes. Then again my gap between 1st and 2nd is about 22mths. If your gynea isn’t too worried about it, you shouldn’t be too, but if you still feel anxious, maybe get a second or a third opinion to clear your doubts. Will you be attempting VBAC? If you are, I hope it goes well for you. Hang in there ❤️

TMC 4 bedded C section under GA or Epidural recent delivery bills

Can anyone share with me recent TMC delivery bill in 4 bedded under GA or epidural? As i am deciding if should deliver at TMC or KKh private based on the cost.

For TMC you might want to visit https://www.thomsonmedical.com/?s=Room rates and packages Search > Room Rates and Packages Scroll down > Maternity Package If I have done my research thoroughly, the difference can go up to 4K depending on the doctor. I’m currently with TMC (2nd pregnancy) and my doctor delivery charges (about 4.5k) isn’t included in the hospital charges. So that’s doctor delivery fee hospital fee. Last I counter checked against NUH private route, it’s much cheaper with NUH. But Im with TMC because I badly want a certain doctor who only delivers at TMC. Nope the above helps :)

Hi mummies, what do you all do when you are feeling constipated? I feel so constipated. Was originally constipated since young. But after finding out I am pregnant, even more constipated. Fruits, water and pro biotic don't help 😪 have not seen my gynae for 1st ultrasound yet.

Dragon fruit and orange worked very well for me.

Kk sub to pte(private)

Hi, im currently about 10 wks preggy base on last mens from this app. Haven't visit to clinic yet cuz still can't decide. I don't have any prefered fix gynea for check-ups. N don't mind seeing different doctor. Is it possible that i go for subsidies then when wanna give birth i switch to private? As in on the labour day i request for private ward. Any mummies did that? Mind sharing estimate bill for ward B2 #advicepls

Sure you can go via subsidised route then switch to private later part of your pregnancy but do take note, some gynaes are mostly fully booked so you may want to research on your preferred gynae now. I remembered I was in my 2Nd trimester when I wanted to go private but my gynae was fully booked so I went subsidised all the way. I gave birth to my firstborn in Oct 2020. I also chose B2 ward (6-bedded, air con with fan), the highest subsided ward you can get (since B2 plus is closed). I had emergency c-sect due to high fever and baby in distress. Post-delivery I developed pre-eclampsia so had to stay in hospital for 6 days. My total bill alone was $11,526 (before Govt grant of $7242). Balance was covered by my hospital insurance. Baby’s bill $2053 (before Govt grant $980) was covered by husband’s Medisave. You’ll receive a link to view the estimated cost of both normal and c-sect delivery in 3rd trimester I think. You can also call in to enquire but those are vague costs though, you won’t know until you are discharged, bill will be sent to you.

Hi, can I check if it is safe to take the fish oil during first trimester? I am currently taking this together with my prenatal vitamins.

It’s safe. Just that the smell usually puts off expecting mums sensitive morning sickness.

Bleeding every week since 12 weeks pregnant.

I had multiple episodes of heavy bleeding. Went A&E 3 times within 2 weeks but baby is fine. Cervix is ok too. Doctor couldn't find the cause of the bleeding. Now I'm 15 weeks pregnant, and still bleeding. Everytime we did scan, we couldn't find any abnormalities. Anyone experience this? I'm so anxious everyday. Bleeding not stopping.

When to apply for Hospitalisation leave before delivery?

Hello! I am currently in my week 34 pregnancy and would like to find out usually when can I request for hospitalisation leave from Gynae? My job is rather stressful and I have been feeling so tired recently (currently working from home). If my Gynae can’t give my Hospitalisation leave, when is the best time for me to apply for annual leave before delivery? I’m planning for a natural delivery so not sure when is it too early to take annual leave. Thanks #advicepls

I’m gg to 33 weeks now and I intend to work until week 38. Wld be using AL first then apply for ML

Kkh private vs TMC

I heard the total prenatal and delivery cost at kkh private is almost same.price as private like TMC? Anyone care to share?

KKH charges start from $600 up to 5k depending on the ward you choose. TMC starts from 4 bedder up to 7k and up to 9k plus for 1 bedder. TMC hospital cost excludes doctor fee. For deliveries like VBAC, cesarean, assisted, medicated birth all have additional charges. I would recommend you choose the doctor you’re comfortable with (respects your birth plan and wishes). From there you’ll pretty much know which hospital you’ll be at. (Also within your financial means, would be best) I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant on my second pregnancy. First was at parkway east and currently at TMC for my second. I’ve done my research through calling the clinics and checking online. They pretty much will send you the details. You can even find it online on MOH website https://www.moh.gov.sg/cost-financing/fee-benchmarks-and-bill-amount-information/DetailsByHospital/SI836U--1--Ward---B2 And TMC website Hope the above helps :)
