Anyone went for postnatal appt at poly before? What to expect? I think i still very trauma after give birth. Even want to hug hubby i scared2 de. If the doctor prod my privates too long i think i will have mental breakdown...

I didn't go polyclinic but I had my post natal gynae review at kkh satelite clinic at amk, the gynae basically just did a pap smear and commented that my episotomy wound has healed, then he did an ultrascan of the womb says eveything good and off i went le, everything less than 10 minutes


It was my first time doing pap smear, the procedure is very fast so just shift ur attention elsewhere, the gynae kept talking to me so just tahan for that one second while the swab is being done can le. And mine is every year need to take pap smear.

Jiayou!!

This is non sterile..must get the sterile one

 

[ciakes]

U mention bought in guardian?

I bought from tmc pharmacy. But any pharmacy shd sell. Wrap ard ur finger and dip in boiled water. Then try get bb to open mouth and put ur finger inside to clean. It's quite tough cos bb will only allow me to clean the front part..but I guess better than not cleaning. It shd get better slowly when she's more used to it

i see... that may explain why when i did my pap smear last yr b4 i got preggie, it was indicated that the next smear shld be done in 2015.

 

[happymummytin]

Oic. Went guardian they say dont have. Lol

i find nuk oral wipes too costly for long term,sterile cotton gauze too rouge.so i bought a box of handkercheifs from market,soft and thin enough.put inside tupperware,pour in boiling water,wait till cool to room temperature at night then clean.

I think precisely the gauze is a bit rough that's why it's useful to clean the dirt off the gums and tongue..

My LO when sleeping, her hands will keep "jumping" both hands like fly up midway then she will kana scared by it like that and wake up, does this happen to your LO?

 

[ding2505]

[ding2505]

Yup sometimes, I pat pat his tummy n put my hand there for pressure till he sleep again. Heard bean pillow can help.

 

[happymummytin]

mine does.like suddenly startled (忽然下一跳）himself.so i place the bean bag on his chest/tummy,but if do this better to watch baby closely.else i think swaddling helps too.

 

[xiaosnowii]

yes my baby gets a little shocked when her arms swing too much and it wakes her up from her sleep, you can see her arms go up, then slowly go down again.

Usually during the day if I see baby can't sleep well due to this I will swaddle her lightly first and put the buckwheat pillow on her chest so that she can fall into deep sleep. most of the time when she is due to wake up her arms will have slowly struggled and come out and I know it's time to nurse her.

Night time sleep I will swaddle more tightly and put the pillow as well. sometimes she still manage to struggle out her arms too. but must check as there were times I think due to the struggling the pillow shifted and was partially covering her face

 

[Give a hope]

Ya shld be normal. Mine oso like that. So when nite cme they can slp well rite.

Kept crying till carry her in my arm...ya nighttime sleep well but cui this morning 5am plus cry so badly again lucky pacifier can calm her down cos I change diaper carry her till awhile put her bk to sleep...pray that she can sleep well in e afternoon as well cos last two days is from 12pm to 330pm plus minus ytd in between 12pm to 4pm den 5pm started crying so badly carry her to sleep till nighttime only can sleep bk...so heart pain seeing her crying till zao xiang...sob sob :'(

 

[Give a hope]

My LO when sleeping, her hands will keep "jumping" both hands like fly up midway then she will kana scared by it like that and wake up, does this happen to your LO?

Yes yes exactly same...like something scare her den both her hands like trying to grab something flying up den scared n wake up w cry...it happen more in e afternoon n nighttime do have few times...any idea what's wrong?

 

[Give a hope]

Oh so is normal... My in laws keep saying LO 是不是下到 cos it happens everyday when she sleeps. I don't swaddle her now since she is 2m already. Maybe I shld swaddle her for a better sleep, cos once her hands fly she wake up liao and I have to either keep patting her or carry her in my arms to let her feel secure.

Ya all along I put a long beanie pillow across her body, sometimes i try to tuck her hands underneath the pillow, she managed to struggle out...

 

[linlin11]

My baby sleep better when being swaddled so i will continue swaddling her, sometimes after she wake up from sleep and start crying, i just need to swaddle her back more tightly and she will calm down and stop crying. Only after she stop then i will carry her out frm cot and nurse her.



This is the pillow i think the baby fairs all selling, the cover is washable, then inside is the buckwheat beans bag which cannot wash just need to sun it when necessary

 

[sunflower307]

My gal sleep with double bean bag nowadays. I don't let her wear.mittens le, she will grab the pillow and hug. Super cute.
I find it help to reduce the arms flipping action and she sleep well. Or I let her sleep sideways at night, she can sleep for more than 6hrs.
I sun the beanbag every other day.
