Finished my postnatal sessions with and it feels bittersweet🥲 Nik is my source of comfort, reassurance, and problem solver (breastfeeding woes, any aches/pains, etc) all-in-one. Ever since I found her for my second pregnancy, I have been recommending her to everyone I know. She and her team does amazing and personalised care, not just providing relaxing and effective postnatal massages/Jamu, but also throwing in lactation advice and massage when needed. Breastfeeding for me is never easy, but this round she has made it even easier than before! My recovery has been so smooth sailing this time round. Thank you again Nik, forever grateful ☺️🙏🏻 (Disclaimer: in no way sponsored! Just wanting to share thanks, and for anyone looking for a non painful experience of lactation massage and truly good/valuable advice, with the best jamu massage, head her way)

First up: Pregnancy
Heard of the "pregnancy glow"? Well, don't be discouraged if you feel lousy, fatigued, bloated, nauseous, with aches and pains all over. Most women (including myself) feel all of the above! Each trimester is fraught with various ailments. The good news is that it will all end in 9 months with a bundle of joy😊
I felt the best in my 2nd trimester, when the nausea and tiredness had ended, and the heaviness/aches/difficulty sleeping of the 3rd trimester had yet to set in. This is also when you start to feel baby's movements (and they don't hurt yet!).
This picture was taken just 4 days before I delivered. I felt large, and could barely walk without getting shooting pains down my leg, as well as pelvic pains. Sitting down was uncomfortable, and I could not find a position to sleep in that didn't worsen my symptoms.
To help with the backaches and leg cramps, I went for plenty of pregnancy massages, did yoga, swimming, and simple exercises (my patients will know how much I nag them to do stretches and exercises😅). Warm foot soaks at night also helped with cramping and soreness.
My point is, do not feel disheartened if you are not feeling yourself during your pregnancy. And if you are one of the lucky ones that are breezing through it, be thankful and enjoy it!

As an OBGYN that has just delivered, I've decided to share a little about my pregnancy/birth journey for all my curious patients out there. Will try to update over the next few posts about what to expect in labour. I am usually not one to post about my personal life, but I'm hoping this will help answer some burning questions some of you may have:)
It's my last 2 weeks of maternity before I head back to work...thank you to all my patients who are waiting for me, and to those who had my covering Dr deliver them, thank you for trusting us at to take care of you.
For today's post, I would like to thank the team .sg for taking such great care of me❤
The professionalism of the midwives and nurses, calm demeanors, attentiveness and reassuring vibes all helped on a very nerve-wracking day. I've told my patients that TMC is truly top-notch, and they really lived up to expectations.
And to my obstetrician .irene.chua , my mentor, friend, and doctor, much love and gratitude😘

Facts about a rare and often silent condition that causes pre-term birth and miscarriage in an otherwise healthy pregnancy.

It's heartbreaking having to break the news of a miscarriage to my patients, and nothing really takes away from the loss. Speaking from experience, only time can make the pain better, but each pregnancy after brings back the trepidation and fear again. Just remember, you are not alone in this. As a gynae, we try our hardest to help both medically and emotionally, and I always look forward to the day I get to celebrate in a couple's joy after previous heartbreak. Here's to all the strong mummies/mummies-to-be out there💪
Let's start talking about miscarriage openly and honestly - it's time to break the taboo. Four of our team share our miscarriage stories.
