Hi mummies, anyone diagnosed with endometritis (different from endometriosis) after giving birth? I'm feeling pain inside when I pass gas, urine and motion. Urine test also shows I have an infection.

Any first time mummy here that have looked after baby alone by yourself?

Can you share your experiences please ? I am feeling so overwhelmed 😔#advicepls #firstbaby #firsttimemom

Me! The hard part is overcoming the lack of sleep due to pumping. You’ll get frustrated and annoyed (a crying baby) easily when you don’t have enough sleep. Once your body got used to the frequent waking and sleeping lesser, it will get better. My baby is generally quite easy to manage (thank god). She just sleeps, drinks, pee poop. Occasionally needs someone to entertain her. (NB days - 4mo) The routine is pretty much the same daily, just add age related activities as they grow. It gets way easier for me when I started to stretch my pump sessions (5-6hrly, 12hrly) because I can finally rest well. LO is currently 20mo and I stop pumping at 18mo and have been able to sleep for 12 hours daily ☺️. LO haven’t attend school yet so for now, the hard part is finding stuffs to keep her entertained. The rest are generally quite easy to handle.

Hi mummies, can you share how you feel after you have given birth?

Relief? Less heavy? Painful? Smaller tummy? More energetic?#firsttimemom #advicepls

all of the above. smaller but not much smaller because the uterus takes 9 months to inflate, so it needs time to deflate too. you will definitely be sleep deprived with constant milk feeds.

First time mom and feeling overwhelmed

I just gave birth and I feel stressed about taking care of a newborn alone when my hubby went back to work. I really don't know what to do if the baby cries, or feels sick or other things that might happen. I have attended a talk on how to do basic care for a baby but I still feel not so confident. My friends who have kids told me I will learn along the way and get used to the routine of taking care of a newborn and maternal instincts will kick in. But I am not so sure and feeling worried that I can't give the best care to my newborn baby. Please help 😭#FTM #advicepls #firstbaby #pleasehelp

How much to feed my newborn?

Hi, FTM here. My little one is now 5 days old, and I've been breastfeeding him for about 20-25mins per breast every feeding. He seems satisfied each time but there are occasions when I can't get him to feed on the other breast after 20min because he's really sleepy, so my confinement nanny would top up an additional 60ml of expressed breastmilk and he actually finishes the bottle. We've not done this previously at the hospital and I noticed he started to throw up milk today. Is this a sign of overfeeding? He also gets hungry quicker, and my nanny has been handing him to me for feeding every hour or so. It made me so tired that I've told her to feed him formula after 12mn but I'm feeling so guilty...

hey. FTM here too. i am facing the same problem with my 9 days old. she latches on me for 20 min each time and finishes an additional 80ml of formula. i am also wondering if i am overfeeding.. she throw up milk too but i realised it was bcos she wasn't burp properly. each burp needs to be accompanied with a bit more time for her to be upright

Hi mummies Please help 😭 I am a first time mom taking care of baby alone at home.

I have a confinement nanny but she has completed her contract. I am now on my own taking care of my 29 day old daughter. I am very stressed and scared when she becomes fussy and cries. Tomorrow I have to bring her for a medical development assessment and I am also very nervous. Can someone please advise me how to take care of my daughter alone and how to feel less overwhelmed? I am still getting used to becoming a mother.#pleasehelp #FTM #advicepls #firstbaby

Trust yourself. Right now she’s a month old which means she’s most likely gonna be asleep most of the time. Keep her well swaddled or use an age appropriate carrier (konny or JC) if you need. Everyone will feel overwhelmed as FTM, especially those who have no extra pair of hands. Take one step at a time, you’ll be able to understand and differentiate your baby’s cries and needs as she grows. If you’re afraid she will get fussy and cry during checkup, it’s totally okay to use a pacifier.
