pinkie,
u r so lucky, no water retention. my legs that time swell up like elephants legs man. and cant stand up or walk for long cos the feet feels so tired. lucky me my hb massaged my legs almost every nite to relieved the tired feeling.
i rember i wasnt so bloated but did feel a bit gassy, had to sit up to burp at nite sometimes and like juxta, i slept allevated since 1st trimester cos it somehow makes me feel less nauseated. and it felt comfortable sleeping that way during the 2nd & 3rd trimester.
darlie,
your bleeding that time sounded so jia lat. i had same feeling as juxta, didnt like the sore & painful feeling down there and also scared that it will split if i pass motion. haha! anyway u shd hv gone for a massage, it helps to put everything in place after child birth & it does flatten the tummy but must maintain lah. i didnt maintain so put on weight liao. yours that time was c-section rite? so ya, had to wait abt 1mth then can do massage. those natural birth can do it few days after birth. my massage lady is a godsent, she helped me unclog my engorgement. and one month after birth i pulled a muscle at my back and i felt so much better after she massaged my back. she not only does confinement massage but also pulled muscle etc as she attends courses to learn about how the human body works so i hv full confidence in her.
mbb2,
a fren of mine also had that pain when her uterus shrank, she said it was so painful that she thot she was gonna die. its due to breastfeeding. i guess your womb shrank back very quickly.
