How to use glucometer?

Hi, I was told to do prick finger 7times a day once a week. So I am alittle confused about the 7 pricking timing. Does it meant I do it before breakfast once after I eat breakfast 2hours once. Then repeat for lunch n dinner and one time just before Bedtime? And between after breakfast pricking timing and before lunch timing is there any timing need take note? As I forgot to ask . Would appreciate anyone whoever recover from gdm advise on ur diet plan and timing of pricking please!! 🙏 This is my third pregnancy but 1st time getting gdm and I am so stressed up and worried about not about to recover from it.#advicepls #pleasehelp

Hello. You need to do one 5mins before you eat your meal. Then there is a section on the paper to write what time u eat your meal, from that time u count 2 hours later and prick again. I did mine 7x a day, twice a week. Still bad, so now I’m on meds for GDM. 🥲

Milk powder in hospital

Hi fellow mummies. I plan to deliver in thomson medical, just wondering if anyone knows whether they charge for milk powder feeds in thomson medical. Should I bring my own milk powder? Since breast milk supply may not kick in immediately.

Yes. Everything they or you used is charged. From your tea to hand sanitizer. I wouldn’t advise to bring own milk powder because you’ll probably end up wasting more since each feeds is probably anything from 5-25ml each time and if baby rejects the formula you brought, you’ll be wasting the entire tin. They are using those not for sale disposable one time formula.

Hi parents! How do you determine which brand of diapers to purchase for your LO? I have requested for samples and received 1-2 pieces of brands like Merries, Huggies Naturemade and Drypers Skinature. Can using only 1 piece of diaper show you how well baby reacts to it? Shall I purchase 1 pack of the cheapest (by piece) and continue using unless there are rashes? What other diaper “problems” should I look out for other than diaper rashes? Thank you all in advance! #FTM #diapers

I tried other brands & find that Merries & Mamypoko airfit is the best so far. It's soft & don't give rashes to my LO. Moony is good too.

Anyone only formula fed your baby with no breast milk for some reason?

Formula feeding - is it really not as good compared to breastfeeding? #pleasehelp #advicepls

No. Please do not believe that nonsense. My baby is on full EBM while my nephew is on full formula, they grow up equally fine and well. Giving formula can be for your sanity, or for work. Some mummies don’t want to trouble and bring along pumps while working and some cannot afford to wake up 3 hourly due to personal reasons so formula works better for them. *From the start, I wanted to give EBM cause I wanted to lose weight 😅. *

Will swollen feet and bulging tummy become smaller immediately after birth?

Those pregnancy symptoms like swollen feet, bulging tummy and poor appetite, nausea...will they immediately away after birth ?😖#pleasehelp #firsttimemom #advicepls

Yes they will but it is a matter of proper confinement, PP Massage, exercise, breastfeeding, tummy binding/wrap/waist trainer and proper eating as well as having enough rest. It will take time but slowly. Not within weeks or a month. We have to be discipline and have proper routine in order to be back to shape.
