A general guide is that KKH has he most comprehensive NICU wards. If someone goes into birth early, some just goto KK A&E. Depending on your financial circumstances, even your gynae may recommend that. The estimated cost of NICU is $1,000++ per day. Depends if additional treatment or tests are...

If your case is so complicated, you might be classed differently and get a senior consultant, even though you choose C class. I suggest if you want to save cost and don't already have a gynae, goto KKH. See where and who they send you to.

Such a beautiful baby!! If it doesnt alarm the doctor, it should be fine. Let some time pass and see what happens.

Most mothers' instinct is to have custody od the kids, fight and work so hard to keep the kids, and then take care of them single-handedly. I just want to share that a friend of mine lost custody of her 3 kids - but she is a "never-say-die" person. She soldiered on with life, eventually bought a...

Your friend is lucky because she and the kid are Singaporean. More protected that way. I am not sure how people who are unmarried files for custody, though. Just make sure the kid's passport and birth cert is safe in custody? The father can't do anything within legal means without those two...

My friend is 55-60kg pre-pregnancy and her firstborn was natural, 4.3kg boy. Subsequent babies were smaller and natural. In other countries, doctors usually wait till 42 weeks before induce or c-sect. Induce may not make the baby become engaged... Not engaged means cannt travel down the birth...

It really depends on what is on your employment contract; and whether your job is covered by the union. Most contracts says that either party can terminate by giving one month's notice, without needing to give any reason!! That, in SG is widely practised and entirely legal, the only exception is...

Many of us here can relate to such a crossroad as we were once there, too. Having been in each of the options: mil, maid, infantcare - I would recommend infantcare. It should be one near home so that pick up and drop offs are easier, even on your day off. Maid is heng/suay, similar to nanny...

If you feel that you need to explain and justify having to pump milk, you might be spending too much time and thoughts on it. No harm if you have super supportive bosses and colleagues (smokers spends a lot of time away from desk too!)... But otherwise, might be a bit too much? Us women can't...

When are you due? If you cannot find a CL I can help you settle in with new baby. Order confinement food. Pm me.

I agree with Mongkok. When you said train, it is not just "tell her to do it". It really means train - a lot of hardwork and patience. You are practically doing things, she should be taking notes. If you train her to boil ikan bilis soup, for example: first time you show her...

Hi all mommies and mommies to be! Many of us have been there - constantly juggling between school, work, maids, and childcare. Those were such difficult times, and still, we sort of survived it and came out stronger! Some of us had family and friends to count on, some others have not much...

I am not sure how severe is the case for you, but for me, because I couldn't find the time to bring my son, I coached him myself. In his case, he couldn't pronounce the th, s, f, h, ph, etc. It was difficult to find a place, get to the place, and I couldn't take weekly afternoon offs for it. So...

Private clinics usually only have one fees for all. However, I would like to point out that what you are planning now is for the "best case scenario" i.e. a smooth pregnancy, an easy delivery, and a healthy baby. Unfortunately in life, we should also plan for the worst case scenario. You may...

Well, the porn addiction is deep-rooted and had lasted for more than two decades - but it is still a mental problem. You guys should be seeing a professional to seek help. It is not an excuse to continue, especially if it is not mutual, and it compromises your marriage's health. Now, when you...

If you put the "baby" issue aside, are you happy? Can you try to remember what were the values and things about this man that made you attracted to him? Made you fall in love, and made you wanted to marry him? Are these the right reasons? Are these good reasons? If they are, try to give each...

Porn addiction is a "sickness", and so is compulsive gambling. You should really try to get him to consult a professional. Your baby may not "understand", but he can feel the vibes and he is watching and learning. I always believe that a happy mommy is a great mommy. You should try to sort out...

It is good to get before delivery, or at least identify a place, price, and model that you want. So that, when you want it, you can just drop by somewhere to get it, or get your husband to get it. Ameda is a great pump. It is a very efficient double pump, so you can pump faster. It is not...

Yes. I used to do that a lot.

... do not login on behalf of ex-spouse, lah... at worst that can be fraud or lying to public servant. stop giving salary (cos not your maid)...
