Not every pregnancy decision needs to be made at once.

Some women want structure, but also value the space to consider their options as plans evolve.

FlexiCare is designed to provide structured antenatal care — without pressure to decide everything upfront.

Your care can adapt as your journey unfolds.

🍽️ Chinese reunion dinners can be a real challenge — especially for mums with GDM

Yesterday was a very common festive scenario:
👉 Popcorn chicken snack at 5pm (I expected dinner to start late 😅)
👉 9-course Chinese reunion dinner from 6.30pm

I deliberately skipped the rice dish and took just a small scoop of dessert instead of the full serving.

On CGM, instead of one big spike, the readings showed smaller rolling rises that stayed largely within range.

Why this matters:
• Reunion dinners are long, multi-course, and unpredictable
• Carbs often come later, mixed with protein and fats
• Portion choices and timing matter just as much as food type

For mums with gestational diabetes, this is why festive meals can feel stressful — and also why small, practical adjustments can make a big difference.

✨ CGM helps us understand how eating patterns (timing, spacing, portions) affect blood sugar — not just whether a food is “allowed” or “not allowed”.

A positive pregnancy test often brings joy — and questions.

The earliest weeks of pregnancy can feel uncertain, especially before routine scans begin.

Char siew cheong fun for breakfast 🇸🇬
A very common local choice — soft rice rolls, sweet sauce, refined carbs.

On CGM, this pushed my glucose up to 8.8 mmol/L 📈

This doesn’t mean the food is “bad”.
It means different foods create different glucose loads, especially in the morning when insulin sensitivity can be lower.

For mums with gestational diabetes, this is why we focus on:
• portion size
• food combinations
• timing of meals
—not total carb avoidance.

The goal is control, not perfection.
And most importantly, plans should be individualised.

Pregnancy doesn’t follow a single path — and pregnancy care shouldn’t either.

Some women seek reassurance early.
Some want flexibility as plans evolve.
Others prefer continuity through the full journey.

Our pregnancy care packages are designed to support different stages of pregnancy — with clarity, continuity, and flexibility when circumstances change.

It was just a small butter roll.

Steak, vegetables, and one little bun — and yet this was my CGM trace.

This doesn’t mean bread is “bad”, or that your body is failing. CGM shows us how even small portions can speak loudly to glucose.

Refined carbs don’t need to be large to have an effect — but a healthy body will usually compensate and recover.

What matters isn’t the spike alone, but how quickly sugars come back down.

Awareness > restriction.

I ate all this food today. And swam 1.5km in the evening.

I care for many pregnant women with diabetes, and wearing a CGM myself helps me better understand how everyday meals, portions, and movement affect blood sugar in real life.

Nothing extreme.
Just normal food, mindful choices, and a bit of movement.

It’s not about perfect numbers.
It’s about learning what helps keep things steady.
