Postpartum headache

I'm having headache almost daily especially when I missed my napping periods between each pump. Halp. And my flu and cough persist for 2 weeks. Seen a doctor but I think it's the lack of sufficient sleep thanks to the 3 h interval pump... how do I sustain this period without falling sick or getting a headache... #postpartum #confinement #headache

Omg the 3hr pump schedule is really no joke 😔 the headaches are almost definitely from the sleep deprivation. A few things that helped me - try to nap the moment baby sleeps even if it’s just 20min, and make sure u’re drinking enough water cos dehydration makes headaches so much worse especially when pumping. For the flu lingering so long, ur immune system is just very run down rn. Ask ur doctor if u can take vitamin C supplements while BF. Hang in there 💖

Baby hair dropping

Hi! My baby is only 3 weeks old but his hair is already falling from the front :( should I be worried? I thought baby’s hair usually only start dropping at 2-3 months old?

Yes totally normal! Newborns often lose their birth hair in the first few weeks, and it usually falls out in patches so front first is very common. It’ll grow back properly after a few months so dun worry! Just make sure bb head is not always in the same position (like always facing one side) cos that can cause more hair loss on that spot 😊

Is it common to feel tired during week 16?

Week 16 now, but started feeling breathless after bath/ wash dishes and especially after cooking the feel will be much worse and no strength. Feeling so weak now. Sigh. #firsttimemom

Yes very normal!! Week 16 is still first trimester/early second trimester, ur body is working super hard to grow baby so feeling exhausted and breathless is totally expected. The breathlessness esp when cooking could also be the smell/heat, a lot of mamas get that. But do mention to ur gynae at the next appt just to rule out anaemia cos that can make u feel extra weak and breathless too. Rest as much as u can and dun push urself, the housework can wait!! 🤍

Nasal Congestion

Ever since I got pregnant, I feel like my nasal Congestion got worse. Before pregnancy, I also have rhinitis and sinusitis. I also have some allergies to animal fur and pollen. However, they were very manageable. But now that I'm pregnant, my nose is perpetually blocked, and also itchy and sneezy. Does anyone else also have a sudden increase in inflammation in the nose that is causing congestion? or maybe it's just a stand-alone problem for me, cos I already have pre-existing problems? ☹️☹️☹️ What can I do to relieve this? I want to avoid taking any medication or steroid nasal sprays.

perhaps consider herbal nasal patches?

Need to seek marriage counsellor

I have been married for 3 years to my husband and just had a child 5 m.o of age. We have been having more tensions ever since my baby was born. Mainly because I felt he listens more to his family instead of me as his wife. And because he is an introvert and does not speak up, whenever some bad remarks come from his family, he also just kept quiet and pretend nothing happened. I felt that my feelings are neglected nor I can open up with him because all our discussions will usually end up in a fight. I feel very overwhelmed and under pressure living together. Weekly visit to in law's place is always a dreadful thing for me to face. I started to blame myself for many things, for marrying him, for having a child, I feel really bad and selfish as a mother :(

Hi there, just wanted to drop in to say that you are not alone in your struggle. It is important for you and your husband to establish mutual expectation on how you want to raise your child and to politely inform your in laws that “this is how we do it”. Most times, they impose or guide to do things a certain way because that’s the way they know and think that you need help.

Reddish Bumpy Patches in Body..

Hello mummies, ftm here.. my baby is 4 months+ and having this kind of reddish, slightly bumpy patches in face, legs, chest, hand and leg area. These patch dont last for days. They just come & go. If today morning appeared some patches, they are more likely gone by tmr. But keep on appearing from different different places of the body daily. Not insect bites. Not itchy. I think this is some allergy reaction but unable to rule out for what. Baby is in formula and he has been drinking the same formula ever since his birth. Showed to PD too but he is also unable to figure out what it is. They are not baby acne also. These patches are bigger than acne and in different different sizes. But on additional note my baby is under antibiotics as he was diagnosed with UTI. These patches appeared like after one month of antibiotics started. So i dont think these are medicine allergy also. Pls help to share if you have any similar experience. Thank you! Posting a picture for better clarity.

Reddish Bumpy Patches in Body..

It looks a bit like hives/urticaria to me, especially since the patches appear and disappear within hours and show up in different spots each day. My child had something similar and the doctor said it was likely an allergic reaction or triggered by an infection. Since your baby is currently on antibiotics and being treated for a UTI, I’d suggest checking with your PD again and showing photos of the rash over a few days. If baby develops swelling of the lips/eyes, breathing difficulties, fever, or seems unwell, please seek medical attention promptly. Hope your little one feels better soon ❤️
