加油！my cl will be leaving next week too. Cannot enjoy the luxury of eating her food and passing baby to her when I'm tired or getting free time to spent with my #1.

Yes, think my back side, tummy and legs all still haven't shrink back. I still have 6kg-7kg to loose till my pre-preg size. Am still wearing my maternity soft gutter pants. Lower tummy still feeling bruised on the inside.

The bruised feeling should go away after about 6 weeks or so.
 
For those approaching man yue or already... Do you feel like the month/weeks have just flown by? I am still in a daze that I have a 3rd child! Guess its gonna sink in tomorrow! Haha!

Salute those mummies who have to go back to work... I feel zombified in the day time!!

Tell me about it. My LO already 7 weeks! And I can't tell how much he has grown until I was sorting out his photos.
 
autumnleaf said:
Oh that's good... You had that too? Wonder if that contributes to any bloating in the lower tummy?

I didn't have bloating but it felt sensitive to just touch it. In fact my csect wound was filled with bruises when we removed stitches. But gradually was ok. With my #1, I also had bruises with my wound.

Yes I had bruises too. But it's hard for me to see my wound... Have to lift my belly to see it! So horrible!

I am exactly 4 weeks postpartum today....n still can't fit my pants :/

I knew I had gained a lot of weight on the scales.... But didn't realise so much! My shorts weren't exactly small to begin with.

I'm struggling with that too. Seems like confinement food has made me put on weight instead. . I put on 20kg so I really have a lot to loose.. shall start my workout soon.. else I will need to spend on clothing before heading back to work :(

Yup agreed. Really hope bb will just cooperate with me.
At times she is sooo hungry but will just fuss and cry and refuse to latch on for like 30mins, then decide to latch on.. Waste all our time. Yet cant lose temper at her.. I peifu all the 2nd or 3rd time mommies here. I used to want to hv 3 kids.. Now i think i'll stop at 1..

Yes im looking fwd to the sessions. Lilacz u can check her packages online. Maybe can give u some feedback too aft tmr.

Hey don't stress urself up, just relax and think positively. U may b worrying abt how to cope without ur mom n all tat n end up feeling stressful already before it happens. Don't worry! When the time comes I'm sure u can handle, women are tough creatures. When put under situation we can manage it no matter wat, esp towards our children... : )

I understand how you feel. When my #1 was born, we had to move back to Shanghai (hubby stationed there) when she was 2 months. My mom came to help me for a short while (like 1 week or so). I cried buckets when she was at the airport gonna go back to Singapore. Hubby constantly traveling. Frustrating to care for my baby alone and I cried sometimes when she was sick and i felt helpless. Most importantly, build a support network with mommies where you are now, if can find Singaporean mommies better still. It really helps a lot. Jia you!

Hi lilacz, the masseur said the slimming massage is more for thigh etc. I think she said it's not the relaxing kind. It's like making those chopping moves on your body.
Flabby belly after giving birth will be hard to shrink back to pre preg with it..
The jamu massage is shiok! Thanks rainbowzstarz!

Understandably so. Even when I have enough sleep I will also lose temper. Moreover a mom who has been latching at night.

Plus during this period of time, our #1 will also do a lot of things to test our patience. Have to really 忍 and look beyond their naughty phase. One thing must always remember is not to create sibling tension between the 2 kids so have to watch what we say when we start getting angry with them.

Yah i will expect #1 to be uderstanding... for me easier cuz he is already 8 yrs old, so will understand better and wont be jealous.
i agree with little lamb we have to be extra senstitive in the words we use in case of hurting them or causing tension between siblings.
