then maybe it's genetics and how much weight was gained during the pregnancy. just thought that c-sect harder to lose the tummy coz the tummy muscle is being cut through rather than natural birth where it is still intact

did u both go thru c-sect and vaginal birth?

most hospitals have lactation consultants. I also had alot of problems with breastfeeding. the lactation consultants told me i had alot of milk. But i struggled alot with latching the baby on. Almost gave up. took me almost a mth to get her to latch on properly

I have the same problem my daughter was born at 36 weeks. Not induced just went into labour naturally. Now at 7 months, all her measurements are in the 3rd to 10th percentile. Her weight, height and head circumference. Is it normal for premature babies to be smaller while developing? My first...

Hi mummies out there I was just wondering after having read some articles that it is tougher to lose the belly fat after having a c-sect as compared to having a natural birth. How many of you would agree with that?

She delivered my baby in May. Very nice gynae patient and caring. Appointments have to made several days in advance though

oh i have never heard about eating cabbage but i put cold cabbage compress on my breasts 24/7 for 3 days because i seeked help from a lactation consultant before and she say it can help to reduce supply. but for me it didnt stop the milk or make it leak less. in fact it was very inconvenient coz...

yup as u can see in my first post going cold turkey didnt help. so no choice. been about 3 weeks since i stopped. stopped on the 27th of Aug. Still will have some milk leaking but alot better already. the hard lumps are almost gone.

yup it is better than letting the baby go hungry. after stopping my baby on breastmilk she now prefers the formula milk. past 2 weeks i have just been throwing away all the breastmilk coz she rather have formula

i dont know but i think you shouldnt pump coz the milk supply will just continue

oh so lucky. it took the pills for a week and wear a tight bra 24hrs a day. it seemed like things were improving. but now its been almost a week since i finished taking the pills but milk in both breasts seem to be coming back again. breasts start to hurt and can feel it harder and being filled...

yup i think vonniesa is right i had my first kid when i was 18 turning 19. weighed 53kg before preg. Then my max weight was 57kg. discharge alr back to 53kg. When baby hit one month i was down to 48kg. started gaining weight when my first child hit 1year old For my second kid that i delivered...

thank you and nice blog. i think it is very encouraging for ppl out there who had similar experiences.

hi mummies thx for advice. I decided to stop because i had mastitis (breast infection) twice during the 3 mths that i breast fed and had to go on 2 courses of antibiotics. The high fever along with the medication has left me feeling very weak and when my baby was a mth old i already had to go...

I would strongly recommend mummies to engage madam izah for their post natal massage. She charges 50 for one and a half hour. Very nice lady and not calculative. Some massage sessions extend longer and she wont charge extra. She will ensure the job is done before she leaves. She does not hard...

Hi mummies out there need a little help with regards to breastfeeding. I didnt breastfeed my first child but now have decided to breastfeed my second. I read online that going cold turkey for 48-72hours will do the trick and stop most of the milk. I have went cold turkey for 4 days yet my...

yup i heard first 6 months of breastfeeding there will be no period, however I had I fully breastfeeding yet i had my first period when my baby was a little less than 2 mths old. but i suppose once the period is back there is always a chance of getting pregnant. my eldest is 2 years 3mths and...

I doubt there is any real effect on the baby, if not the gynae will warn beforehand. First trimester till the end i drank everything I wanted, coconut water, chin chow, tea, coke, coffee, bubble tea, a variation of those with at least 2 cups of coffee a day but nothing happened

Yup first one labour was abt 3-4hrs long and second was 2and a half hrs. Second one came early though at 36weeks. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy before welcoming the sleepless nights!

hahahah yup only gained 4kg w the first and 2kg with the second so I lost more than what I weighed with the second one
