Hello mamas Today is the 7th day I've been bleeding. I call it bleeding because the blood is much o. Talked to a nurse and she said my period is back, and that first period after delivery is always very heavy and last longer. I am two months postpartum btw . I've never seen anything like this before, this is even much more heavier than d one after delivery. Loosing so much blood is so scary. Please is that how first period after delivery especially through cs is? She said If it didn't stop or reduce by weekend I should go to hospital |

Layormiii: Maybe you should go to the hospital just to rule out anything, i have had CS twice and I didn’t bleed for upto 7 days when my period came, it was just my normal flow and normal 4 days.. Your body could be different but you can just go to the hospital so your mind is settled 1 Like |

Sassy256:My BP was 108/66. I don't know how okay that is. I also noticed my weight increased within a space of one week. Clocked 65kg last week and just yesterday I clocked 68kg. Hope I'm in order. Yea I've packed my bag. Everything is ready. They ended with referring me for a scan. And that when I bring the scan result, they will tell me the next thing to do. I wish baby can come already. I'm tired of hearing "eat this, don't eat that, bla bla bla" ![]() |

Layormiii: Mine came 36 days after delivery and lasted about 6 days. Just last week I had the second period sef.... That first period was so heavy for me, heavier than the bleeding after delivery.. it had clots ... It was annoying and frustrating... Normal pads couldn't hold it for the second and third day, exhausted them so I had to use pampers, I was changing every two and half to three hours I think. By the fourth and fifth day it reduced, sixth day wasn't really anything, just scanty stuff... The second period was better, it was just slightly heavier than my normal period. Body differs but I think it's better to talk to a professional to be sure, considering that yours has lasted this long and is still very heavy on the seventh day.. |

Polyhydramnios #atgPolyhydramnios #atgoligohydramnios What is polyhydramnios? Polyhydramnios means you have too much amniotic fluid in your womb (uterus). Most cases of polyhydramnios are mild or moderate. The amniotic fluid that surrounds your baby serves as protection from sudden trauma like falls or blow to your tummy, from infection, and it is important in the development of the lungs. Unborn babies would normally swallow amniotic fluid, and then pass it out as urine. This cycle is repeated till birth. When this delicate balance is disturbed, the volume of amniotic fluid can increase rapidly. Towards the end of pregnancy the amount of amniotic fluid usually decreases. Polyhydramnios is usually diagnosed when amniotic fluid volume is more than two litres. It could be as high as 3 litres in severe cases. If you notice that your tummy is getting unusually large and feeling more tight than usual, and that your skin is stretched and shiny , associated with being uncomfortable to breath, please kindly get a review. Polyhydramnios could build up gradually, or very rapidly in twin / higher order pregnancies. Symptoms of Polyhydramnios: indigestion,heartburn,constipation,swollen legs,varicose veins, stretch marks How is polyhydramnios diagnosed? Ultrasound scans would provide a more qualitative assessment of the volume of amniotic fluid and can confirm a diagnosis of polyhydramnios. The sonographer will measure the amount of fluid in four areas around your baby to work out your amniotic fluid index (AFI) or use the deepest vertical single pocket measurement. Polyhydramnios is diagnosed when the AFI is more than 24 centimetres or if there is a single pocket of fluid that is more than 8cm deep . The higher the AFI, the more severe the clinical problem is. Sometimes the scan may also reveal a reason for the condition, such as a pregnancy complication. What causes polyhydramnios and how is it treated? The treatment you will receive will depend on the cause , severity of your condition and how far you are in to your pregnancy / how close you are to delivery. In milder cases it could resolve gradually , but close monitoring would be essential. If a specific cause for the Polyhydramnios is found in your case additional specialist care may be advised ; if so pls adhere to it. Cause of Polyhydramnios 1. Uncontrolled Diabetes: This increases the volume of amniotic fluid your unborn baby produces; and you're not already being treated for diabetes In pregnancy I would advice your seek a diabetes specialist; because when you diabetes is well controller this would reduce the amount of fluid. 2. Infection : severe viral infections like could lead to increased am amniotic fluid. 3. Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) : Twin pregnancy with identical twins whereby they share a placenta are at risk of a complication called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome which could lead to polyhydramnios. TTTS happens when one twin receives too much blood from the placenta and becomes overloaded with fluid. This leads to the twin receiving the excess blood producing more amount of urine, which results in too much amniotic fluid. Treatment could be to drain some of the fluid from around this twin to ease the pressure; and in severe cases laser treatment could be used to seal some of the placental vessels to the well-connected twin which could to even out the blood flow. 4. Developmental malformations like blockage in his food pipe (oesophagus) or a problem with his muscle control leading to impairment In the passage of swallowed fluid or inability to swallow amniotic fluid. 5. Chromosomal abnormality A chromosomal abnormality, such as Down's syndrome or Edwards' syndrome, can sometimes be a cause of polyhydramnios. Treatment of Polyhydramnios Draining excess fluid In severe cases, treating any obvious cause like infections, diabetes, laser treatment in TTTS cases and considering c- section if closer to term. ♨️Try to remember that most women with polyhydramnios go on to have healthy babies, particularly if the condition is mild. ♨️Symptomatic relieve of heartburn due to Polyhydramnios are : Eat small amounts more frequently, not lying down straight after eating food, don't eat just before going to bed, Don't eat or drink anything that makes your heartburn worse, such as spicy food, some may find relief if they sleep propped up in bed, and you get antacid prescription from you doctor.

StarryV: Like other Mama's said Increase your water intake infact drink water like your life depends on it. Reduce your carbs intake, start taking fruits and vegetables mostly.. You are already a term Mama, start inducing labour naturally... Baby in the womb has fully developed and only adding weight. 2 Likes |

teebee22: I'd say baby rocker. I never had a walker before and it didn't stop my daughter from walking. But I had a rocker and it helped soothe her when she was grumpy or I needed to do something without carrying her. Plus I learnt walkers aren't good for kids... 3 Likes |
