Ngayon i really feel insecure about myself. Siguro ksi dahil buntis ako? And ayun may nakikita ksi akong dapat di ko mkita. And yung sense of security/ assurance di ko ma feel yun. So prang naka mindset na sakin after ko manganak eto ggwin ko to bring back the self confidence I lost during this time. I never felt this kay zach. I started lng nmn to feel this way 2 months or 3 months ago until now. And it affects my mental health to be honest. Plus may mga other factors pa. And sometimes yung mga taong we thought would help us or make us feel secured sila pa yung masgiging reason ng pag down mo

Hi sorry you feel that way. Unfortunately, erratic kasi hormones ng isang babae before, during and after pregnancy kaya ganyan nararamdaman mo. But keep reminding yourself you are beautiful. And motherhood is one of the best experiences a woman will go through in life 🥰

Has anyone felt the same like during pregnancy and after manganak an baba ng confidence o self esteem. especially after mggive birth. parang hindi mo na maalagaan self mo, hindi mo na msuot mga OOTD mo etc. Lately kasi I feel back on track ngbibihis na ko ulit kagaya dati and inaayos ko na self ko ulit pero bt parang natatakot ako na sabihan ako ng in laws ko na baka mgfocus na ko lalo sa self ko at less naman ky baby. of course kahit im back to my old self i still give my 100% sa anak ko. Nawawalan naman ako unti ng gana tuwng iniisip ko kn anu sasabihin ng in laws ko...

It’s good na bumalik na confidence mo but don’t ever be guilty for doing those simple self care activities. Kasi kung hindi ka okay, hindi rin magiging okay yung family mo. When you feel good, you are able to take care of your baby much better. Don’t be too anxious about what your in laws would say. At the end of the day, you know that you do your best to take care of your baby.

Hi temporary changes lang po yan during pregnancy and yes may chance naman po bumalik sa dati as long as you make time for self care. Exercise is very important. Make sure you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables during pregnancy para maganda parin skin. For pimples, tea tree oil is safe. Apply 2 x day 😊

Hi doc! mom of 2 po. when I gave birth sa una ko. parang wala nama. masyado pagbabago katawan ko bumalik naman sa dati except for my saggy mommy pouch. pero overall bumalik ako sa dati kong weight without much effort. pero nung pinagbuntis ko itong pangalawa. lumaki ako ng husto kahit parehas lang naman ang food intake ko. tas ngayon na toddler na sya, lumalaki oa rin ako ng tuluyan. naguon nagwoworkout ako di pa din bumabalik sa dati. may mali na ba sakin? may dapat ba ako ipacheckup? nahhirapan na ako magpapayat :(

Hi usually nag sloslow down metabolism natin as we age and after pregnancy. It’s better we customize your diet and exercise. I can help you with that but we need a proper consultation for that. Here is my online consultation link: https://seriousmd.com/doc/nicoleanne-buenavista

Doc Aika, magmula nung nabuntis ako at nanganak ako, nawalan na ako ng gana sa sex. Ginagawa ko lahat upang maiwasan ito...pero minsan pinipilit ko kasi naaawa ako sa asawa ko. Naging honest ako sa kanya one time and sinabi ko na nawawalan ako ng gana sa sex dahil napapangitan na ako sa itsura ko. yung lawlaw na tiyan na puro stretchmarks, lawlaw na boobs sa pagbebreastfeed, tapos wala na din akong energy. Naiintindihan naman niya, pero im sure may hangganan lang iyon. kaya I need help! Ano po ang pwede ko gawin?

Hello po bumababa talaga libido level pagkatapos ng pregnancy. Pwede kayo kumain ng watermelon at strawberries to increase libido. Pero important din po na pinaguusapan niyo yan palagi ng asawa niyo. Do what is comfortable with you. You can start with simple dates with your husband na kayong dalawa lang 😊

Hi Dr. Aika! My posture was really messed up from motherhood since I got pregnant, since I breastfed in different weird positions for longer periods, then nung toddler todo habol habang nakayuko and then clingy pa sya so kinakarga ko padin. Parang kahit akong stretching ko di na nababalik sa dati yung likod ko and pisture ko (take note ballerina dancer pa ako before huhu) so I know na my posture is really bad :( and napapansin na din siya ng iba :( How do I deal with this and fix this?

Hi you can still definitely fix your posture. Simple ergonomic exercises will improve posture. Madami free online in youtube. You just have to make it routine and remind yourself to sit and stand up straight. Wearing a back brace can also help 😊

Hi Doc! I currently have PUPPP and buong katawan ko siya literal. From my arms, legs, thighs, belly, back, boobs and even sa singit. Muka ko lang ang naligtas :( Sa kakakamot ko nangitim and parang ang kapal ng balat at magaspang. Will this go away when I give birth? Anything po I can use on my skin? Not sure if yung kati ko now is because of PUPPP pa rin or the dry skin na and healing ng mga open wounds. I am 30 weeks pregnant and matagal pa aantayin ko. Sobrang wala na ko confidence.

Hi PUPPP needs to be managed po by a dermatologist or else it may get worst or hindi mawala. Although it will subside a bit after pregnancy. But using regular moisturiser will definitely. Choose hypoallergenic lang po 😊

HI Doc Aika! I am pregnant at my 3rd trimester. I am starting to notice my kili-kili and singit are getting darker. Is it because of my deodorant? Kasi nung 1st and 2nd trimester naman hindi pa naman nangingitim. This is making my insecure. My husband is assuring me naman pero nahihiya ako syempre kahit papaano medyo turn off ito. And I'm so worried, does this stay permanently na?? :(((

Hindi po dahil sa deodorant but because of the normal changes in pregnancy may discoloration po talaga. That will subside after pregnancy po 😊

Hi Doc, 7 months postpartum and breastfeeding po, nagkaron po ako ng itchiness down there at dahil minsan sobrang kati lalo pag pinawisan, nakakamot ko sia kaya nangitim ung paligid saka sobrang dry ng balat, any medications needed or ointment safe for me ? Mawawala din po ba eto eventually ? Dipa din po ako nagkakaron so I'm thinking it's because of lactation amenorrhea, sana po masagot, thanks

Hi you need to buy hypoallergenic soap kasi sensitive skin mo hence the itchiness. Nasa label yun ng mga bath products and lotions. And yes it could be lactation amenorrhea kaya need mo pacheck up sa OB GYNE 😊

Doc Aika, hope you can help, I am 8 months pregnant and I am getting stretch marks na on my tummy and the marks are dark in color instead of light :( I ahve other fellow pregnant friends na wala namang stretch marks. pero sakin ang daming discolorations, I have stretch marks, linea nigra, darker batok, darker singit, lahat na!

Hi iba iba po kasi ang manifestations from one woman to another depende rin po sa genes. Pero yes it can subside after pregnancy po. May mga ointment po na pineprescribe ang mga doctors you can apply after pregnancy po. Better to consult po for the best management po.
