Hi, anyone starts doing kick counting already? My gynae has not asked me to do it. What is your counting method?

Thanks all for the clarifications! @Annie Wong I experience the same thing whenever I sleep on my sides!

Hi I'm almost 29 weeks pregnant. My gynae says the bb is breech and told me to prop my hips with pillow every night for 10 mins. Is this a cause for concern? Does it mean my bb has developmental problem? V worried now..

Hi brainy smurf, it's a common side effect of pregnancy. I managed to resolve the issue by eating brown rice (contains more fibre than white rice), lotsa vegetables (try buying organic ones to minimise exposure to pesticide) and sugar-free greek yogurt (the brand is farmers' union if I'm not...

My mom says don't use scissors on the bed.. I'm not into superstitions but if want to follow, maybe sit on sofa instead?

Can eat bitter gourd? I've been craving stir fry bitter gourd with egg, but read somewhere it can cause pre-term labour...

Hi ladies, is it safe to eat those sliced cheddar cheese for sandwiches? I bought the President's sliced cheddar cheese for sandwiches but could not find the word "pasteurised", only "processed".

Hi noah1, do you have to prick your finger everyday and report the sugar level? I'm due for the glucose test in 2 weeks' time. Just wondering, how will the doctor know that the daily blood reading is yours? I mean technically if I'm scared of pricking myself everyday, I could prick other people...

Hi mummies, anyone has difficulty sleeping? Does pregnancy pillow help? Any model to recommend? On a separate note, can umbilical cord accident be prevented? My colleague's baby passed away in her tummy at 36 weeks, likely due to cord wrapped around the neck... Can this risk be detected and...

Hi, any second-time mummies here can share with me whether the baby kicks will be painful in 3rd trimester? I just saw my belly skin "jumped out", I got a bit freaked out, I'm 23+ weeks now...

Hi, anyone has tips how to control weight gain? I already exercised 4x a week half an hour each and cut down on carbo. But whatever i eat seems to turn into fats. Can share with me what do you ladies typically eat in a day?

Hi pinkgal, sorry to hear of your unsupportive workplace. My two cents' worth: try to shut your feelings and keep your eye on the prize - PAID MATERNITY LEAVE. You only need to tahan 4 more months before you give birth! You can look for another job when you are on maternity leave. Remember you...

Hi ladies, sorry TMI, I could not control passing out loose watery stools when peeing... Any idea what might cause it?

Wow, congratulation!! Amen!

I had 3 tubes of blood drawn. 2 tubes for panorama and 1 tube for pre-eclampsia test. But they only poked the needle once so as long as you relax you don't feel anything when they change the tube.

My hubby's sister is autistic. I am constantly worried for my bb *touch wood*. How do I get rid of negative thoughts? Now when I see anything about autism on facebook, or anywhere, I'd panic and interpret that as a sign. Today some colleagues discussed about autism, I also panicked :(

Hi mummies, im 18 weeks now. Is it normal for the upper abdomen to grow big also? (The area above the navel and below the bustline). Thanks!

Wishing you and your wife a smooth pregnancy and a healthy bb!

Hi brainy smurf, yes, the 12th week detailed scan was for down syndrome. Panorama test was also for down syndrome which I also did on the same day. Maybe your wife is still young? I'm already 35. Gynae usually have 2 test choices for down syndrome. Oscar is cheaper but only 95% accurate...

Mine also similar to what you found online, 8, 12, 16, 20 and all have ultrasounds.. In fact 12th week have one detailed scan (about $700) to check for nasal bone and nucheal thickness, although I found it was a waste of money since panorama test can detect genetic abnormalities.
