I'm currently feeding my one week old baby approx 80ml every 2 hours approx. He's always hungry. I don't know why. Sigh. Making me very stressed. I went to PD. He asked me to increase from 60ml to 80ml de. And even so, he's still hungry. Not sure if it's growth spurt. But I'm more concern about overfeeding but PD doesn't seem to mention that.
Thanks @mylilsheep will check out.
Lol, bb jus keep sucking as thou she's hungry right? My bb too.. End up also puke. Now i jus stuff the pacifier in, if he spits out means he still wan milk.. Haha. Quite smart lah kids nowadays..
Me! Happened to me 1 wk postpartum too. Gynae said the exact same thing to me...Today on my way to PD suddenly whole gush of blood came from my bottom and ive been flowing blood like mad down my legs etc. Went to see gynea immediately and he did an ultrasound. It seems that there is blood clot or reminants of placenta tissue inside.
Gynea adviced to go for massage and squeeze the blood clot out by itself. If next scan he check and confirm its placenta tissue then need to do a clearance procedure to suck the tissue out anyone got such situation before? Im 6 days after birth

For decorations, I really DIY myself wor. Doing bunting, tassels, raindrops to significant shower, haha..
Can try OnePartyStore, I getting my balloons from there. If u stay @ north east, there's a kidz party store at Compass point level 4.
Better not massage tummy. It's recommended at least 6 weeks after c sect.According to doc, need to wear binder for a month after c sec. The hot weather not helping. Keep perspiring and the area is getting itchy.
Tom is day 10 after c sec. Massage lady is coming but they can't massage on the tummy cos of wound right?
Hihi, i had done my c-section 5 weeks before. But recently my womb feel pain compare to 3rd and 4th weeks. Anyone can advise is it normal? I am a bit afraid that being exhausted cause the womn painful...
I went back for review 1 wk later and Gynae said the blood clot is still there... Just ask me to continue massage it out. He never mention abt the d&c anymore and he deemed it safe enough that he put my next review date as 3 mths later...
Yup, mine gushed out and dripped onto the floor... I was at home... Hubby rushed me to hospital. My last review with dr 1 wk after the blood gushing episode, I still have blood clots inside...He just say continue to massage... My next review is 3 mths later so I don't know whether the clots are still there or not...I see. For you, did your blood gush out as well? Mine was heavy bleeding with blood trickling down my legs and eventually onto the road. And to think I was in public. Oh man!
By the way, did you have any other symptoms? And in the end, did you managed to massage it out?
I take fenugreek. My lactation consultant has recommended me to drink this. Although there are a bit of increase in my milk supply but I think my milk supply never enough for my baby. My baby drink a lot....... and my supply never meet his demand. haishh......
I'm at week 3 (day 23), started my massage 4 days ago and since then been stopped wearing my binder le cos still got the jamu wrap. And the scar gel I applying indicated to air the scar after applying the gel.According to doc, need to wear binder for a month after c sec. The hot weather not helping. Keep perspiring and the area is getting itchy.

Hi mummes.. how many days in average bb umbilical cord will fall off? Mine is 9days old and still attached.. looks like going to drop but mayb take a few more days.
*cow-ing mode on*
My bb gal is drinking 70-80ml every 3-4hrs. My hosp PD actually suggest we have to wake her up if bb sleep pass 3hrs mark to avoid dehydration. Is that so?
Hello mummies!
I've delivered bb girl last night via c sect. Tried induce but the pain was so furious at 1cm dilation and I couldn't manage it coz can't take epi yet. Gynae also touched my belly and remarked bb is really quite big, asked again if I really wanna try natural. So hubs & I decided just c sect la.
Turns out to be a 3.7kg bundle of joy! Omg! Personally felt we made the right decision to c sect than to wait for dilation & try natural.
@BubsandBloms, wow yours 80-90 ml at 1 week or 1 feed?What's your baby demand like?
Mine is like already 80-90ml at 1 week. Very hard for me to meet his demand.
I'm feeding express milk via bottle btw.
Mine umbilical cord fall off on day 16. quite long leh.....Hi mummes.. how many days in average bb umbilical cord will fall off? Mine is 9days old and still attached.. looks like going to drop but mayb take a few more days.

I am not sure what is my baby's actual demand, but these few days baby has been cranky from early evening till midnight. I bf for more than 2-3 hours but he still want to drink milk, did not want to sleep. Then i top up formula milk for another 150 ml he also can finished. I guess in total my baby might already drink for more than 200 ml already.
Yup, it was the only episode where it was so heavy that the blood dripped down. After that I had another heavy bleeding once... Not so much that will drip, just heavy with clots coming out... Now lochia also reducing again... I'm 3 wks postpartum now...I see, so was that blood gushing episode your only 'heavy' episode?
Currently, how many weeks are you (after delivery)?
My lochia was actually already reducing, until the episode this morning. And I had a massage this afternoon, which make my tummy hurts a little and of course, some blood output as well.
And I realised I have the same gynae with you - Dr Benjamin Tham

Dr Tham told me it's quite common... When I went to see him, he said he just saw 2 patients with this condition a wk before me...
congrats happycsk!! wow.... 3.7 kg is really big baby le..... Even my baby now almost 4 weeks haven't reach that weight yet..... lols.
By the way, any mummies here faced uncontrollable peeing after delivery? I'm already at 8 days post delivery, occasionally (esp when bladder is full), I will begin to pee, uncontrollably.
I think I have the heavy bleeding abt a wk after the 1st episode... Yup, dr Tham says after my review that is likely to be blood clots and not part of placenta. I just have the post natal massage as usual.By the way, any mummies here faced uncontrollable peeing after delivery?

Oh I see. Yes, he's quite a nice gynae!
Don't mind me asking, how long after that first episode you have another heavy bleeding? So I presume the reason for your heavy blood episode the first time is due to blood clots? Anyway, how did you purge the blood clots? Is it massage or...?

Yup, he scanned. Says he thinks should be blood clot as there's no whitish tissue fromI see. Did he scan your tummy or what? As in, did he say how he determine is blood clot?

Hb got companion charge with breakfast. No foc.Hi mummies. I am due in July. Can I check for those who has gave birth at TMC and stayed in single bedded. Did u pay for your hubby to stay with u? We don't need them to prepare food for my husband. 3 years ago they didn't charge as long as my husband don't eat their meals. Is it still the same?
I can't stand the weather. I think I will get post natal depression if I don't bathe. LolWah.. U shower everyday ar. I tahan the first 10 days w/o shower and wash hair.

I did my massage today at Day 10. Super painful as she said I've a lot of wind. She massaged my tummy but not the wound. Have to wrap herbs for 8hrs and no shower after massage. Now I'm binded so tightly.
My massage lady also helped to squeeze out some breast milk from bb's nipple. She said is from my hormones. Anyone heard of that?
Her umbilical cord dropped off on Day 7. My girl is now having a lot of discharge on her right eyes. Cleaning her with cooled boiled water. Just realized that my confinement lady has been using tap water to clean her eyes and tongue. need to see pd on her eye?
Yes my PD also said my bb girl has breast milk from my hormone. Just need to massage, and breastmilk will come out..
My bb day 9, not yet drop.. any method to speed up?
