Elevate leg when sleeping after giving birt

I went thru csect and just started my PP massage. After the massage my masseuse always tell me whenever i want to lie on my bed or sleep, always elevate and put my leg higher than my body, the higher the better. Anyone did it and does it help with the recovery ? Im not sure the reason behind it

Hi! Its to ensure better blood flow and reduce water retention! It helps alot when i had bad water retention!! It cleared up after afew nights of sleeping with elevated legs 😀

My gyna asked me not to gain weight/eat since 12 weeks pregnant.

Help! Hi Mummies. I'm currently in 21 weeks pregnancy, having my 3rd baby. I'm a plus size, in my early 40s and my first 2 children were born above 3 kg and healthy. I had GDM for my previous 2 pregnancies but cleared after delivery. Every checkup with my gynae, she will always remind me not to gain weight. Being pregnant, I will gain weight eventho I did walking, eating healthy, etc... I'm a SAHM with no helper and will walk to send and fetch my older children to their pr schools to and from home as well as other home activities/errands. Sometimes, my gynae will say don't eat and give advices like drinking all no sugar, which I followed. No fruits coz fruits have sugar but can drink coffee black, which I didn't take coz I believe coffee black is high in caffeine as compared to teas. So far, for every ultrasound checkup, my baby is doing well and healthy, just my weight. I will be taking the glucose test next week, similar to my previous pregnancies. When I ask what other exercise is safe and effective for loosing weight at pregnancy, I was advised to do just walking, which is my daily routine. Sometimes, I feel a bit sad, coz all the food that we eat contains a certain amount of sugar. If I can't snack on fruits when I have hunger pangs, I don't know what to eat. I cook for my family but sometimes feel sad remembering "no food" or "cannot gain weight". I've always thought if there is no weight gain, it's not a good sign for baby and mummy? I'm so confused and stressed at times. Any advice, please? Sorry for the lengthy post. Just need to pour it out 😩

u can snack on nuts or fruits with low sugar content like apples, dragonfruits, guava

Lower abdomen hard a month PP

Is it normal for lower abdomen, below belly button section, to feel hard and pain even after a month of giving birth via csect ?

Honestly, a hard and tender lower abdomen at one month post-C-section is quite common, the nerves that were cut during surgery take a long time to heal, and that can cause both pain and a firm, swollen feeling below the belly button. It could also be fluid retention, internal swelling still settling, or even something like gas and bloating slowing down the process, so there are a few things going on at once rather than just one cause. My own experience was that the area felt tight and uncomfortable for longer than I expected, and from what I've generally heard, most mums find it gradually softens as the weeks go by, though the timeline really does vary from person to person. That said, since it's specifically painful and not just uncomfortable, it's really worth getting your doctor or O&G specialist to take a proper look, just to rule out anything like fluid buildup or infection that might need attention.

Lower tummy feels like jelly when walking post delivery

Is it normal even after a month after delivery (csect) when we stand or walk can feel lower tummy like jelly shaking, with a little weight around it. Like flabby. Feels weird. Will it go away ? Or it will only go away when stomach is tone back. #FTM

Yes, that jelly feeling is really common after a C-section, especially at one month postpartum since your abdominal muscles and skin went through a lot and need time to recover. It does get better gradually as your core strength comes back, though it can take several months and some gentle postpartum exercises can help along the way. That said, it might be good to mention it to your gynae or PD at your next visit just to make sure everything is healing well on the inside too.

Similac mom vs prenatal vitamin

Hi everyone! Just wondering if it’s ok to drink similac mom alone, and not take the prenatal vitamin? Not sure what’s the right procedure here!

Prenatal vitamins is a must to take! Vitamins are more important than drinking maternity milk

9 weeks and spotting

I am 9 weeks pregnant and today is my 2nd day spotting. More to brownish with little red. And i spotted in the mornings only. First time pregnant here! Been trying for 5 years so im quite worried. I had lighter spotting too last week and went to O&G, the doctor said they couldnt find the spotting residue and had a scan, all was fine. I have 5 more days before my next appointment. Anyone experience this please share if its normal to spot or not

Best to go urgent o&g again. Ask them to prescribe you progesterone shot and duphaston to stabilise and stregthen the womb and baby

Should I attend a concert at 16 wks?

I bought the concert tickets before finding out abt my pregnancy and now contemplating if I should go. My nausea and vomiting is controlled. Only occasional tiredness and headache. I am debating so hard if I should attend the concert next week. Can anyone share their experience attending a concert while being pregnant? Would it be too uncomfortable? My seats are somewhat furthest from the stage but the crowd would be massive and I'm just fearful I'd be claustrophobic.

I went at 7 months, was quite loud but it was still ok for me, I wasn’t really uncomfortable. Wore mask when I was with the crowd
