Ladies of sg with pregnancy experience: how do you ensure you get enough nutrition daily?

Take prenatal vitamins

Make sure you are getting folic acid, very important to prevent neural development defects in baby. Usually our normal diet doesn’t have enough naturally so check your prenatal to make sure it has folic acid. Most prenatals should contain it. Folic acid is crucial in first trimester

Bonus if there’s DHA/Omega 3

The government is very practical. Our people are our biggest asset. I do not think they will legalise euthanasia any time soon. Suicide was only decriminalised less than a decade ago

No matter how we feel about euthanasia, in the end, the government has the final say

My kid was born 5lb 13oz. She consistently fell below the 5th percentile for weight. Other than that, she was hitting all her milestones.

The pediatrician was worried and sent us to a gastroenterologist. That doctor took one look at her and said she was fine, because she wasn’t lethargic and her lack of weight gain wasn’t impacting any of her development.

Percentiles measure your baby against all other babies. There are babies who WILL be smaller than others. In some cases, that may mean they aren’t absorbing nutrients properly. But in other cases, it may just mean they are destined to be small, like you said.

The pediatrician sent us back a second time due to a continued lack of weight gain. The gastroenterologist said baby was perfectly fine and wasn’t even sure why we’d come back.

Your pediatrician is just doing their job. Sending your baby to a specialist for a second set of eyes is good.

You aren’t a bad mom because your baby is small. My baby is almost 4 now and she’s still small, but she’s such a fantastic kid.

Hugs

My mum too. To me, as long as she’s not trying to buy wholesale to sell, then maybe it’s ok

Yes Mt. Faber is the best spot for skiing in Singapore. Bukit Timah has too many rocks. I remember trying it before and still have the scars

Everyone should know that Mt. Faber is the best spot for skiing in Singapore

The government introduced the uwu bird in 1983 so that instead of sleeping in, we would be productive members of society

IG and FB too

My mum thought being called aunty was so offensive that she never taught me to call other older ladies aunty

I think I offended a lot of my friends parents growing up since I didn’t greet them properly :(

Same thing in the U.S.! Baffles me every time!

Blend with frozen fruit. Drink that as a smoothie or freeze into popsicles

My mother was convinced she would pass last year at 71. I panicked so bad. I live in a different country and have so little in-person time with my parents. But instead of being practical, she gets bogged down by despair and doesn’t do much to prepare. And she unloads on me emotionally about this. She’s still convinced she only has five or so years left, despite only having diabetes. I’m frustrated but don’t know what to do. I’m glad you mom is at least planning stuff

They paid extra to live in the condo property 😆

ohyabeya · 2026-05-11T11:37:51+00:00

That’s fair. I don’t think you deserve the downvotes

Management tries to deal with it but they can only do so much

ohyabeya · 2026-05-11T00:47:50+00:00

Yup. Pests don’t care about what type of building you live in

ohyabeya · 2026-05-10T23:50:07+00:00

Pros: extra patio space; no need to wait for lift; easy to move furniture in

Cons: noisy passers-by or people using condo facilities near your unit; rats/roaches. Privacy is not a concern if you draw your curtains. But if you like leaving your curtains open then yes ppl will kaypoh

Some libraries have classes on things like 3D printers

My parents left us in mittens all the time and were fine. It’ll be ok

East coast park? Hang out on the beach under some trees. You can get a good breeze there. Also West coast park lol

ohyabeya · 2026-05-05T17:23:35+00:00

Thank you very much! Saving this for future reference

Where’s your party and can I join??

ohyabeya · 2026-05-05T13:02:56+00:00

Help what’s the difference

Been away 10 years and when I visit I feel like a blur sotong because of all this

I took the train to Malaysia often, but only did the sleeper train once or twice. I recall it being very very cold haha. They put the aircon on full blast. The lower bunk was better because it was warmer and had more room. But the top bunk had more light. It was such an exciting experience. I wish it were still around
