Itchy at stomach area

My breast area & tummy starts to feel itchy during my last trimester.. any mummies also facing same issue? Any idea how to ease the itch.

Can try getting a small tube of suubalm (75ml)! It works well due to the cooling effect.

At 38 weeks + 1 and still struggling daily with acid reflux. Medicine to tame it barely works these days to ease the reflux. Anyone else going through the same thing? What do you do about it?

If medications are not working to reduce your acid reflux symptoms, your doctor may recommend other treatments such as lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and natural remedies. Lifestyle changes may include avoiding certain foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down after eating. Dietary modifications may include avoiding spicy foods, acidic foods, and fatty foods. Natural remedies may include drinking herbal teas, taking probiotics, and eating foods that are high in fiber.

38 weeks and no signs of labour

#firsttimemom #pleasehelp

If baby and mummy is doing fine, amniotic fluid enough, size ok then I would just wait for baby’s cue. I think in sg we are allowed to wait till week 41 (max). I gave birth at W40D3 due to low fluid otherwise I would wait for baby’s cue instead 😂. Meanwhile try walking more, yoga ball or have sex.

Not sure where you’ll be giving birth at but mine was at TMC. All of these were done before baby discharged.

Sciatic nerve pain

Anyone experienced this pain before? Please share what else do you do beside stretching or any medication did doc prescribed? I cant sleep at night as the pain is killing me! *cryingggggg*

Prenatal massage really helps even though it’s a temporary relief. I get my husband to massage my tailbone/butt gently before bed whenever I have sciatica pain too.

Just a mom sharing her thoughts

I gave birth 5 days ago when my child was only 38 weeks few days. I have been keeping this to myself but feel i needed to let it out as i feel it eating me and slowly making me depressed. I am feeling really guilty for inducing labour. Reason why i did was due to baby size. I could have waited for the right time but didn’t want to go for c sectiondue to baby big size so decided to induce and have baby early. I don’t know why but i feel like I forced it out and now i am missing being pregnant at the same time guilty for forcing birth. If you get what i mean? Haven’t been myself lately. Just hope letting out will make me better

Momma’s feelings matter too! don’t beat yourself up for choosing to induce because what matters is you had the birth plan you wanted and baby is healthy and physically with you now. I’m sure it’s the hormones at play right now. Do speak with your husband or loved one for support ok? Hang in there 💪🏻
