Today we went with our newborn daughter, Olivia for her one month check up at our paediatrician and as usual we ended up chatting about everything from baby poop to, of course, Covid-19.

With schools opening up soon here in Singapore, I was curious to know how many children cases of Covid-19 were treated in Singapore so far since we (or is it just me?) have not heard any details about children cases specifically.

I was quite surprised to know that there were in total over 40 children cases but in comparison with the total number of 28,000+ cases as of today, it is not much at all.

What she said next though left me speechless and heartbroken.

Our TTTS Story

It has been about one and a half years now since we lost Moana to TTTS (Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome), a disease of the placenta that affects identical twin pregnancies. I have first written about it back when we lost her but ever since I have shared my story with many other mamas who have reached out to me having to face the same difficult diagnosis.

The List: Prenatal Workout Classes - #Singapore #Jakarta

Prenatal Yoga has become very popular amongst mamas in the recent years. The gentle movements build strength and endurance, preparing you for your little bundle of joy and childbirth. Classes usually include breathing exercises, stretches and hip openers, all especially designed to keep mama and baby safe during your practice. Within my pregnancy I have had the chance to join several different classes in Singapore and Jakarta and here are some of my favourite studios and classes.

THE WELLBEING OF BABY AND MAMA IS A PRIORITY.

PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY.
