Thanks Heartbeats and Hazel, I'm hoping can poo once a day, so taking lotsa fluids and fruits now. Will get stool softened fr dr Loh if no choice. I have some leftovers fr my keyhold surgery last year, think will use them for now. Fybogel can too??
Dr Loh actually didn't prescribe much leh
My friend's gynae prescribed her this gel for wounds below too, supposed to speed up healing, for Loh, only the alcohol disinfectant. Ladies, if you want post natal multivitamins, fever pills, stool softener, etc etc etc really hv to joint down and request fr Dr Loh. I think he is sooooo busy that everything is basic, so we gotta watch out for ourselves too, Loh great skills no doubt.
Thanks Luv and Baby Me and Angel, the breast shells actually came in very handy, protects my cracked nipples (the other good 1 also cracked and bled a bit when I use bp, think too strong suction sigh...bm is tinted with pink haizz...but at least not a gapping 1 cm tear like left nipple) and collects bm in betw feeds. I've discarded the bm cos not fresh for bb.
Baby Me, you are right, really need post natal massage EARLY. My breasts starting to harden this morning and in time to get unblocked during this afternoon session and bm flowing very well now. I can't imagine starting massage only nxt week, by then will hv all the huge lumps already, will be even more painful to iron out I'd imagine. Now I'm kneading and rolling constantly, blockages do build up quite fast I realise.
Juvi, yes, Maya attended to me, she's a life saver
Have you tried her massages? For post natal, they use those heated equipment at tmc tcm massage, used a heated rollar thingy to reduce my ankle swelling (said due to salt in food although I'm taking Natal Essentials now and others hv no issues with it), another diff heated device to 'dissolve' my blot clots (said its a lot), a diff heated device again to unblock the milk ducts. Also hv a heat lamp on constantly. I've signed up the package too.
Joanne, jia you, now I know why you and other ladies cry when hubby goes back to work, I can't imagine without his help too as really hv movement restrictions fr the wounds plus the stupid post natal wrap. Is anyone else other than your mum helping you out now that CL is gone?
Pierced, glad you've enjoyed the photoshoot session. Was Megan delighting in it too? How many addn pix have you guys chosen? Yes, I was told NB pix best taken in first 2 weeks cos bb in sleepy state, so easier to manage and also more adorable
Sunbelle, I don't have confinement lady, parents are helping out and been very encouraging. I guess I'm trying to be hands on too, so ended up doing too much. Yes, hubby is doing all the running abouts outside settling things. But he is now officially sick, sigh...
Just browsing through how other mummies are doing. I see many using fm and ebm now. I think I may just use ebm too, and fm at night, as it's very heart pain to see bb struggling with bf. I see the bm flowing into the bp bottles so easily, can't help asking myself why need to put myself and bb through the bf schedules and tiredness, etc, ebm will be equally gd. I did see bb taking in areola too, dunno why nipples still bleeding, sigh...
Tomorrow will be a better day I'm sure. Sorry if I've not responded to other questions or forget to thank anyone, reading forum on and off so may hv overlooked, do remind me again if I've not responded.
Thanks for all the kind suggestions thus far
