(2008/11) November 2008

No JJzhou, u got me wrong. i m not talking abt the womb nor the placenta lah. read carefully ya? i m saying the SITE where the placenta JOINS the uterus. aft removal of the placenta, these blood vessels have to be closed off. and to close them off is when ur uterus shrinks. where in the world did i mention that the womb has to be removed?!

Of cos the placenta has to be removed aft birth. wat i m saying is that there are times where the placenta dun come out intact. hence this is also one of the reason WHY we haemorrhage. All i m saying it isn't called WOMB CANNOT CLOSE. that's all!!

There are lotsa reasons why ppl get postpartum haemorrhaging, blood clotting disorders etc. i am also pointing out that ppl that undergo c-sec lose more blood. i m just giving the info i read wat, not just a story. don't get me wrong. sometimes we hear stories without knowing the medical causes behind it and assume its the hospital or the doc's negligence and then this scares other mummies to be. I m just trying to give u the medical reasons behind it. the bottomline is the faster ur womb contracts the better the chance of not suffering from a haemorrhage. Suckling helps to contract ur uterus too.

Don't need to get defensive ya?
 


Hi bear,

of course it's just sharing.

my friend under go this problem after her long hour of natural birth. again, not about method of birth. just want to highlight that some hospital do not take care the patient properly. My friend's husband had to ask the nurse few time before they even bother to take a look.

so what i'm trying to share here is:

1, postpartum haemorrhaging can happen to anyone, regardless of delivery method.

2. the more mum knows, the better protection for ourself.

3. remind the husband to take good care of us, not everybody cares. even AVA takes long time before we know the milk has problem!
 
jo:
BDL site calculator is 1.38 but that is for shipping only. Credit card is not so good rate. The latest I heard is 1.49.

The discount is by Hackley, not BDL. BDL is juz a shipping company.


JJ:
Excessive bleeding after delivery is a condition where the blood dun clot well. Not really "womb dun close". When the placenta is delivered, the blood vessels there are ruptured. If the blood dun clot (i.e. common term is blood vessels closing), you will continue to bleed.
That is why before delivery, your gynae does check whether you have any cuts that dun stop bleeding before. If so, they would standby blood for transfusion. You know hor, guys with this condition no need to serve NS I think. Coz too dangerous.

C-sec may be less pain at the delivery part but recovery tends to be slower. That's why they want you to saty 3 days in the hospital as opposed to 2 days for normal delivery. And normal delivery, you should be walking within the same day liao but c-sec, only next day.


Glad:
I dunno wor. Later ask hubby choose.
 
sorry for my poor English. Below is an extract from internet.

************

Loss of more than 500 mL of blood is usually caused by failure of the uterus to contract fully after delivery of the placenta, and occurs in over 10% of deliveries with a 1% mortality rate worldwide.

Other causes of postpartum haemorrhage include retained placental tissue, lacerations to the genital tract and coagulation disorders.

Uterine atony is more likely in women who have had a general anaesthetic or oxytocin, an overdistended uterus, a prolonged or precipitous labour, or who are of high parity.
 
JJzou, ya you are absolutely right. Hence whenever i wanna share something, i usually try and find out the reasons behind it. By listening to others, we might not get the full picture. that's why I decided to read up abt it and provide the whole picture.

Abt the delivery method, this is quoted from the link i posted. C-sec delivery do bleed more but ur doc has a better control i.e. see inside you and take appropriate measures hence u don't notice it. Also if u opt for general anaethesia, ur recovery period is abt 1-2hrs. ur bb can latch on immed aft delivery and the longer u wait to suckle ur bb the slower ur womb contracts. hence this can also lead to excessive blood loss. these factors are the whole picture one shd consider, not just whether the hospital offers gd care or not.

I dun blame AVA for not detecting contaminated milk before the scandal erupted. Visited their labs before and i have to say, i really pity them, the sheer amt of food that comes into S'pore everyday. not just variety, but the amt. how are they gg to detect it?

Ya that piece u quoted from is from emedicine right? notice they say general anaethesia?
 
Jo yeo,
the PIS backpack is 4.2kg with the shipment box, so will S$36 charge from borderlinx. Don't use conceig svc as what fifi mentioned. there will be GST charge if u purchase more than S$400.

oh ya, u need to give hackley ur citi card no. when place order. Already sent u the coupon code, but it is for ur next order, so no use also..keke

Fifi,
the 5%coupon code is actually for the next order,not first time order,no wonder they don't minus for me, coz i am first timer. Means when i order 2nd time,they will deduct 5% for me and u will get 10% off for ur next order.
 
Bear,

the BP for the toy is very cute. I have bought also. Heehee... Thanks for recomending us...

Next time u saw this kindof lobang must tell us ah...
 
baby23

happy.gif
 
glad and joyeo,
is it necessary for me to see gynae if i think its braxton hicks?

bear,
e pain normally lasts for a few mins. but i can still walk and work normally..but sis insisted that i make an appt to see gynae. made an appt to see him only on thurs as he is packed up tom.
 
baby23:
No its for the friend's first order. Confirm. Tried and tested. I think yours the amount stated is wrong but the final amount charged should be correct. Unless by chance the rate dropped that much on the day they billed you.

Jo:
When you place your order, ensure that you get the discount. Ask them to check ba.
 
Morning mummies!

Yah..raining zzz...have to take cab to work!

Fifi, hey I saw you order the plush toy already! So we share the delivery cost OK...

Haru, I didnt see gynae, coz previously he already told me it's quite normal to have a few contractions daily...unless it is really sooo frequent like once in 10-20 min or something that I should call him to check. But if you are worried, you can still consult your own doc...

i guess those milk only affected baby who drink it directly ba, as for adult, it should be fine rite? i hv been drinking it for so many months. Dumex is not in the list, will buy dumex after finish my anmum.

haru,
for my experience, when BH comes,tummy will push or scrollup,wont feel baby moving,but after BH goes, will feel baby move. If it is painful, u better go see gynae,to be safe
