As a working mother, during the 4 months of maternity at home, is it better to use the normal wired breast pump or just use the imani/youha from the start? Confused if I should just buy the portable one from the start or buy the wired one for home.

They always say it’s best to use the wired ones first before your supply regulates but it really depends on individual. I switched to handsfree pump at 1.5m since I’m the only caregiver and needed my hands to be free while pumping. Surprisingly, it yielded even better than the wired ones (60ml vs 180ml). Not to forget, handsfree’s pump time is half of the wired ones! I’d say, up to your own comfort level. For me, definitely handsfree! (SAHM here 😅)

Hi mummies, anyone gotten leg cramps n have wake up in mid of night suddenly? Seem to happen more to mi now in w24 then previously. . Normal? Any remedy to prevent other than massage it off?

So far no remedy for this. It is normal for some pregnancy mummies. I had cramps on first pregnancy but not the second pregnancy. I just massage, use compression socks, during bath I soak with warm water.

IUGR and preeclampsia risk

Hello mummies, does anyone have any idea how to prevent this. I was at my detailed scanning, and was told to monitor closely for risK of IUGR and preeclampsia. It’s not a diagnosis yet but I’m just worried.

I'm at high risk of pre-eclampsia too since my 1st pregnancy and this is my 3rd. control food well and eat properly. low sodium, remain positive less stress, and ask ur gynae if anything needs to be done. im on low dose aspirin since 12 wks as well as bp meds.

Depression during pregnancy

Does anyone constantly suffer from overpowering emotions throughout your pregnancy? Don't think it's as bad as to call it depression but crying easily happens. Help.

Perhaps it is just your emotions over little things that might affect you one way or another. If you feel that you are under depression, lonely or cry easily do voice it to your spouse or upon check up with your gynae. Remember don't take it personal or let your emotions control you. Previously in NUH, when I was pregnant with my first there will be questionnaire to check on your well being so they will be able to render help if you need. Hope this clarify 🤗
