			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hair Loss after pregnancy is pretty common. To some mothers, it can be a short term period where as for some it may be longer than just a <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">ampicillin online</a>  few months.</span><br />
</span></h2>
<p class="maincontent" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The usual reason for postnatal hair loss is &#039;hormonal change&#039;. Hormonal changes in general are a very common cause of female hair loss. Almost 98% of woman who given birth experience extra hair loss. During the pregnancy however, hair is often at it&#039;s best because of the high levels of female hormones oestrogen (good for hair growth) and progesterone (bad for hair growth), more hair follicles enter the growth phase than normal. After childbirth hormone levels change dramatically, often causing the hair growth cycle to become &#039;disturbed&#039;. The normal hair growth cycle soon returns hair re-enter into the resting phase.  It&#039;s at this point that most women notice the hair loss, especially for someone who has long hair. Hair loss normally occurs from the 6th week to the13th week <a  href="http://thebizsellers.com/ach/ach-direct-payments.php">Ach Deposits</a>  after childbirth. This type of hair loss is usually temporary, once the body has settled down and <a  href="http://www.swiftcodesbank.com/dae-yu-securities-co-ltd.php">DAE YU Securities CO LTD</a>  returned to the pre-pregnancy state, normally at around the 7th month after childbirth. If hair loss continue for more than 3 years, it is recommend to seek a doc advice.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><a  rel="nofollow" href="http://89510x5630n-s-d4j922imxg78.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Treatment For Postnatal <a href="http://ampicillin-pharm.net">online ampicillin</a>  Hair Loss</span></span></a></h2>
<p class="maincontent" style="text-align: <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">buy cheap ampicillin</a>  justify;&#034;><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Plenty of rest is important.  A Well balanced diet with lots of vegetable &amp; fruits and also include more protein food . In TCM diagnosis, it is due to the inability for the blood to nourish the scalp, resulting in hair being not able to grow properly and thus  leading to hair loss.</span></p>
<p class="maincontent" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Herbs that will help post natal hair loss are those that promote blood and <em>qi</em>. These herbs include:<br />
1. Astragalus<br />
2. Ginseng<br />
3. Licorice<br />
4. Chinese Yam<br />
5. Angelica<br />
6. Rehmannia Root<br />
7. Fleece flower Root</span></p>
<p>The function of these herbs is to improve the <em>qi</em> (first four herbs) and to nourish the blood (the last three). By improving both the Qi and Blood, postnatal hair Loss can be minimise. <a  href="http://sgmummy.com/confinement-food-receipes/" target="_blank">A herbal soup recipe for postnatal hair lost.</a>
</p>
<p class="maincontent" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">One of the technique i learn from western herbalist point of view is to rub olive oil all over the head before you go to sleep for 8 days. Wash and shampoo the next morning. this helps to clear any excess sebum that are choking and building layer on your scalp which prevent for proper hair loss.</span></p>

<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Plenty of bed rest</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Nursing as often as long possible on the infected breast</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Breast infection are often always a sign of too little rest. Take a 10min nap for every 2 hours.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Although sore nipples heal rapidly often within a few day, it is easier to prevent them rather then to treat them. If your nipple are persistently sore or suddenly sore, you may have a thrush infection. Further symptons of thrush include pink, flaky skin and itchy nipples. if you have sore nipple , you may still continue to nurse to help promote healing</span></span></p>

<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Experiment with different nursing positions.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Nurse as often so that the baby does not get too hungry enough to have a tear at the breasts</span></span></li>

<ul style="text-align: justify;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">I am going to share with you my story about the complication, my 19 days post-delivery. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Like any mummies, being first time parents, both husband and I were looking forward to our due date, to meet our little darling. I delivered 4 days before my due date naturally and happily, was too excited to even close my eyes. After 6 hours later, nurse approached me at my bed and urges me to try to pass out urine. She followed me and we waited in the toilet for few minutes, I told her I do not have any urge at all, she tried to help me by turning on the tap, but I just do not have any feeling, so she told me that after another 1 hour, should I still could not urine, I will have to put on the catheter. At the point of time, I was thinking, as you wish, not knowing that this is so important, still chatting happily with visitors and looking at my baby. Finally, all of them left, 1 hour was up, the nurse came to me and accompanied me to the toilet, again, no output at all. This time, she put on the catheter throughout the night, I thought only 1 night and I will be leaving home, so I did not really put it on heart. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">The next morning when doctor came to me, she told me she heard that I do not managed to pass out any urine, hence had to put on the catheter. She asked whether do I want to stay in the hospital to further monitor or would like to return home with my baby, or prefer to let baby stay with me until I discharged, of course I told her I want to discharge. The condition she gave me was to return home WITH THE urinary CATHETER inserted into my bladder put on for 5 days and return back to hospital for monitoring. The reason was they were worried that I could pass urine on my own and the bladder bag might burst due to over storage. However, was told that the risk of the long-term inserted of this plastic tube might </span><span lang="EN">caused damage to the urethra and infection.</span><span lang="EN"> </span><span lang="EN-US">What is there for me to choose, I was leave with no choice but to carry the urine bag along home.</span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Due to the insert of the catheter to my bladder and the urine bag, it was very uncomfortable and inconvenient, I cannot sit well, it also </span><span lang="EN">causes pain</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">IMAGINE A PLASTIC TUBE BEING INSERTED INTO THE BLADDER, not allowing me to move around freely. I had to be very careful when lying on bed, had to get a pail for the urine bag to sit on so that I can lie on my bed, I cannot turn freely as worry that it might over drag as the length between the catheter and the urine is limited. I had to empty the urine bag whenever it reached a limit, especially in the middle of the night, I did not manage to sleep well as I was worried that the bag will be overflow. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Due <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">Ampicillin cheap online</a>  to this constraint, I was not able to carry my baby, go to my baby’s room frequently as I had to carry a bag around. I could not sleep well, I could not eat well, and not able to bath as I was on confinement. I just keep asking why do I have to go through all these suffering. Luckily I got the confinement lady, a helper and my husband and MIL were supportive and helped me, comfort and consoled me that everything will be fine after 5 days. I waited and waited, finally, the day arrived for me to visit hospital. I was very happy and excited telling myself to get <a  href="http://www.originsjamumassage.com/Jamu-Postnatal-Massage.html" target="_blank">massage lady </a>to massage for me after they removed this catheter for good. Waited for my gynae, it was my turn, she removed the catheter from me and the feeling was so fantastic great, I felt relieved without it! She passed me a bottle and told me to return after 6 hours, she needed to monitor my urine volume. I was happy but at the same time worried, this is the first time in my life that I begin to worry I cannot pass urine on my own. It was very stressful when my husband and MIL asked me whether I want to visit the toilet. I tried and managed to naturally pass out some on and off throughout the 6 hours, stored them into the given bottle and went back to the hospital not knowing what to expect next. It was my turn and the nurse took the bottle from me, gynae put on the catheter and told me she need to know how much water was being stored inside my bladder. Gosh, she managed to drain out some volume of water. After that she explained to me that the amount I had pass out earlier was only 50ML, but the volume in my bladder was 300ML, unless the amount pass out is 300ML and the remaining was 50ML, otherwise, it was very risky to let me go home with the catheter, I will still have to insert the catheter for the next 5 days to avoid the bladder from bursting.   I almost broke down, what had happened to me? Another 5 days with this tube was going to drive me crazy. The gynae told me my case -</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> <strong>ANURIA</strong> (not able to pass urine naturally)</span></span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> was a rare case, the 1<sup>st</sup> case she had encountered was 2 years ago but the woman managed to remove the catheter after 1 week, my case was isolated. There might be a possibility that my bladder was hurt I during the delivering of baby or baby’s head had pressed too hard directly on my bladder and many other undefined reason. By putting the catheter will help to heal my bladder. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">What choice do I have, I have to go home with tube being inserted to my bladder. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">The next 7 days was a very long period, it seems to me as it was 5 years. Continue to suffer the pain, this round the nurse who inserted for me was very rough and deepen, I could not sit properly, at the most 5 minutes I could feel the pain. The only thing I can do is to lie on my bed. I got no appetite at all. I do not dare to drink water, I am worried. Same procedure, on the 7<sup>th</sup> day, we went back to hospital and was told to pass urine for the next 6 hours and return for assessment. Another sad news broke out, I could not pass the urine volume though my urine volume increased this time. I protested and refused to put on the painful catheter again, was breaking down sobbing. The gynae offered me to stay in hospital to monitor for 1 night hopefully I could pass out more and could return home without it. Disappointment again! The next day, was told I could not pass out the require <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">buy ampicillin online</a>  amount of urine, had to put on to avoid kidney problem, was given medicine for bladder infection. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Everything was negative after the 2<sup>nd</sup> visit, I had the thought that I might not be able to recover and will have to put on catheter for the rest of my life. My husband happened to speak to his friend’s mother talking about my condition, she recommended us to his relative who is a Chinese physician, he told me I was having urine infection, given me medicine and told us to blew and took for 4 days, as I was still in <a  href="http://sgmummy.com/category/a-mothers-story/postpartum-period/" target="_blank">confinement,</a> he has to be very careful in prescribing Chinese herb. What can I do, I was leave with this last hope. </span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">On the 19<sup>th</sup> day, we went to hospital and conducting the same procedure. By surprise, throughout the 6 hours, I managed to pass out more volume, this round, when the gynae checked for me, she told me I can be free as my pass out volume was 500ML and the remaining was 50ML, I made it, I was free from the catheter. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was a painful experience, even though now after so many months, I could not forget the catheter and the pain it brought me, not to mention <a  href="http://ampicillin-pharm.net">cheap ampicillin</a>  about the heavy complication cost added to us throughout.</span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">I am going to share with you my story about the complication, my 19 days post-delivery. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Like any mummies, being first time parents, both husband and I were looking forward to our due date, to meet our little darling. I delivered 4 days before my due date naturally and happily, was too excited to even close my eyes. After 6 hours later, nurse approached me at my bed and urges me to try to pass out urine. She followed me and we waited in the toilet for few minutes, I told her I do not have any urge at all, she tried to help me by turning on the tap, but I just do not have any feeling, so she told me that after another 1 hour, should I still could not urine, I will have to put on the catheter. At the point of time, I was thinking, as you wish, not knowing that this is so important, still chatting happily with visitors and looking at my baby. Finally, all of them left, 1 hour was up, the nurse came to me and accompanied me to the toilet, again, no output at all. This time, she put on the catheter throughout the night, I thought only 1 night and I will be leaving home, so I did not really put it on heart. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">The next morning when doctor came to me, she told me she heard that I do not managed to pass out any urine, hence had to put on the catheter. She asked whether do I want to stay in the hospital to further monitor or would like to return home with my baby, or prefer to let baby stay with me until I discharged, of course I told her I want to discharge. The condition she gave me was to return home WITH THE urinary CATHETER inserted into my bladder put on for 5 days and return back to hospital for monitoring. The reason was they were worried that I could pass urine on my own and the bladder bag might burst due to over storage. However, was told that the risk of the long-term inserted of this plastic tube might </span><span lang="EN">caused damage to the urethra and infection.</span><span lang="EN"> </span><span lang="EN-US">What is there for me to choose, I was leave with no choice but to carry the urine bag along home.</span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Due to the insert of the catheter to my bladder and the urine bag, it was very uncomfortable and inconvenient, I cannot sit well, it also </span><span lang="EN">causes pain</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">IMAGINE A PLASTIC TUBE BEING INSERTED INTO THE BLADDER, not allowing me to move around freely. I had to be very careful when lying on bed, had to get a pail for the urine bag to sit on so that I can lie on my bed, I cannot turn freely as worry that it might over drag as the length between the catheter and the urine is limited. I had to empty the urine bag whenever it reached a limit, especially in the middle of the night, I did not manage to sleep well as I was worried that the bag will be overflow. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Due <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">Ampicillin cheap online</a>  to this constraint, I was not able to carry my baby, go to my baby’s room frequently as I had to carry a bag around. I could not sleep well, I could not eat well, and not able to bath as I was on confinement. I just keep asking why do I have to go through all these suffering. Luckily I got the confinement lady, a helper and my husband and MIL were supportive and helped me, comfort and consoled me that everything will be fine after 5 days. I waited and waited, finally, the day arrived for me to visit hospital. I was very happy and excited telling myself to get <a  href="http://www.originsjamumassage.com/Jamu-Postnatal-Massage.html" target="_blank">massage lady </a>to massage for me after they removed this catheter for good. Waited for my gynae, it was my turn, she removed the catheter from me and the feeling was so fantastic great, I felt relieved without it! She passed me a bottle and told me to return after 6 hours, she needed to monitor my urine volume. I was happy but at the same time worried, this is the first time in my life that I begin to worry I cannot pass urine on my own. It was very stressful when my husband and MIL asked me whether I want to visit the toilet. I tried and managed to naturally pass out some on and off throughout the 6 hours, stored them into the given bottle and went back to the hospital not knowing what to expect next. It was my turn and the nurse took the bottle from me, gynae put on the catheter and told me she need to know how much water was being stored inside my bladder. Gosh, she managed to drain out some volume of water. After that she explained to me that the amount I had pass out earlier was only 50ML, but the volume in my bladder was 300ML, unless the amount pass out is 300ML and the remaining was 50ML, otherwise, it was very risky to let me go home with the catheter, I will still have to insert the catheter for the next 5 days to avoid the bladder from bursting.   I almost broke down, what had happened to me? Another 5 days with this tube was going to drive me crazy. The gynae told me my case -</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> <strong>ANURIA</strong> (not able to pass urine naturally)</span></span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> was a rare case, the 1<sup>st</sup> case she had encountered was 2 years ago but the woman managed to remove the catheter after 1 week, my case was isolated. There might be a possibility that my bladder was hurt I during the delivering of baby or baby’s head had pressed too hard directly on my bladder and many other undefined reason. By putting the catheter will help to heal my bladder. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">What choice do I have, I have to go home with tube being inserted to my bladder. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">The next 7 days was a very long period, it seems to me as it was 5 years. Continue to suffer the pain, this round the nurse who inserted for me was very rough and deepen, I could not sit properly, at the most 5 minutes I could feel the pain. The only thing I can do is to lie on my bed. I got no appetite at all. I do not dare to drink water, I am worried. Same procedure, on the 7<sup>th</sup> day, we went back to hospital and was told to pass urine for the next 6 hours and return for assessment. Another sad news broke out, I could not pass the urine volume though my urine volume increased this time. I protested and refused to put on the painful catheter again, was breaking down sobbing. The gynae offered me to stay in hospital to monitor for 1 night hopefully I could pass out more and could return home without it. Disappointment again! The next day, was told I could not pass out the require <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">buy ampicillin online</a>  amount of urine, had to put on to avoid kidney problem, was given medicine for bladder infection. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">Everything was negative after the 2<sup>nd</sup> visit, I had the thought that I might not be able to recover and will have to put on catheter for the rest of my life. My husband happened to speak to his friend’s mother talking about my condition, she recommended us to his relative who is a Chinese physician, he told me I was having urine infection, given me medicine and told us to blew and took for 4 days, as I was still in <a  href="http://sgmummy.com/category/a-mothers-story/postpartum-period/" target="_blank">confinement,</a> he has to be very careful in prescribing Chinese herb. What can I do, I was leave with this last hope. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">On the 19<sup>th</sup> day, we went to hospital and conducting the same procedure. By surprise, throughout the 6 hours, I managed to pass out more volume, this round, when the gynae checked for me, she told me I can be free as my pass out volume was 500ML and the remaining was 50ML, I made it, I was free from the catheter. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was a painful experience, even though now after so many months, I could not forget the catheter and the pain it brought me, not to mention <a  href="http://ampicillin-pharm.net">cheap ampicillin</a>  about the heavy complication cost added to us throughout.</span></span></span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For centuries, the mother has always been the primary caregiver for the baby after childbirth.

</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="f" style="color: #222222; font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="f" style="color: #222222;">This was extracted from a young woman who experience a miscarriage after 9 weeks of gestation. She found God offers her reassurance when she reads the bible </span><span class="f" style="color: #222222;">(Psalm 139: 13-16</span><span class="f" style="color: #222222;">) </span><span class="f" style="color: #222222;">. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em><span class="f">She wrote &#034; </span><span class="f"> &#034;I literally held my baby in the palm of my hand. As I stared at her tiny form, crying that God would give her back, I couldn&#039;t help but notice the intricacies of her already-formed fingers. There were five on the end of both arms and each finger stretched out from the other, so that I could see how delicately she&#039;d been growing inside of me. Psalm 139 reminds me that through each process of her development, God watched her in amazement. He &#039;knit&#039; her together. How incredible. And I take comfort in the fact that He must have loved her just as much as I did and still do-i as her mother, He as her creator. Verse 16 offers even more reassurance. God knew every day my baby would have. He knew she&#039;d have nine weeks of life inside of me. God was okay with that amount of time and I think I can accept that. I miss my baby terribly, but I know that she lived each and every day she was given, developing as God intended. And now she&#039;s in Heaven with Him and He can hold her until I&#039;m ready <a  href="http://thebizsellers.com/ach/ach-companies.php">International Ach Payments</a>  to. My husband and I named her Angel. She&#039;s our Angel in Heaven.&#034;</span></em></span></span></span></p>

This question is one of the 1st that every mum ask and desperately wants to know the answer. Unfortunately if you think that there is a fast and easy way, you could upset. From my personal experiences, my tummy went down after 1 week. I did a postnatal massage with <a href="http://www.originsjamumassage.com/Jamu-Postnatal-Massage.html" target="_blank">binding</a>. I realise that binding helps in certain way because after 9 months walking around with a big belly, suddenly you cannot feel where is your stomach muscles after giving birth. Although the tummy shrink but it still look flabby and looks like something that is hanging over your pants. You have to understand that there is no miracle that your tummy can be toned and firm when the muscles are stretched for months. It take time so patience is the key.  I did binding myself for around 6 hours everyday for about 2 months ( i do not wear when i go out). It strengthen my stomach muscles and keep it tight. This was the only thing i can do since exercise is forbidded at least 6 weeks after natural delivery. For caesarean delivery, it could take up to 3 months. </span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: <a  href="http://www.swiftcodesbank.com/hongkong-and-shanghai-banking-corporation-limited-the.php">Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited The</a>  small;&#034;><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">How do i get back my flat , toned tummy ? This question is one of the 1st that every mum ask and desperately wants to know the answer. Unfortunately if you think that there is a fast and easy way, you could upset. From my personal experiences, my tummy went down after 1 week. I did a postnatal massage with <a  href="http://www.originsjamumassage.com/Jamu-Postnatal-Massage.html" target="_blank">binding</a>.

This was the only thing i can do since exercise is forbidded at least 6 weeks after natural delivery. For caesarean delivery, it could take up to 3 months. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The 1st exercise i recommend for all mothers is to do Pilates exercises. Pilates helps to build your core muscles and especially targeted at your tummy. Personally i love pilates because you can do it anywhere and everywhere. Just need a mat and you can get started, which means right in your home. It just take you 15 minutes a day and you are able to tone up your tummy.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Pilates is about breathing and contracting the right sets of muscles. (<em> I am not a pilates instructor but i been working out for quite some time</em>). It is also about focusing on balance of your body. You need to find the core muscles of your abdominal and always keep it tight when doing <a  href="http://ampicillin-pharm.net">Ampicillin buy cheap</a>  the exercises. ( we call it engaging of the muscles). Below is a great video that teaches you step by step to tone up your stomach muscles afterbirth. Be sure to do some stretching before and after your exercise. Drink plenty of water too , pilate may seems easy but it does make you sweat too.<br />
</span></span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In any case you feel uncomfortable , pain or bleeding, Stop the exercise immediately. Your body may not be ready or you could be doing it wrongly.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>A SNAPSHOT WHAT IS POSTNATAL PILATES</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p><object <a href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">ampicillin online</a>  width=&#034;432&#034; height=&#034;350&#034; data=&#034;http://www.youtube.com/v/v3HlWdC6YAw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01&#034; type=&#034;application/x-shockwave-flash&#034;><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" <a href="http://thebizsellers.com/ach/ach-checks.php">Ach Meaning</a>  value=&#034;http://www.youtube.com/v/v3HlWdC6YAw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01&#034; /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am sure you feel better after the video. As a busy mum having 2 young kids, time is a huge thing i have to managed. Exercise should be part of our life, to keep up with these tiny feet that are always bursting <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">buy cheap ampicillin</a>  with energy. But where do i find time to exercise ?</p>
<p><strong><a  href="http://sgmummy.com/postnatal-pilates-yoga/" target="_blank">I will show you how i did it just half an hour a day in the comfort of my house and guided by an live instructor. It is cost saving and most importantly time saving. </a><br />

As the placenta is expelled after the baby is born, your uterus will starts to shrink back to its pre pregnancy size and position. During this process, you will feel cramps ( similar to cramps you experience when having your menses)</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">Ampicillin cheap online</a>  small;&#034;>Usually for the first birth, the afterpains are milder and often do not last too long.  The pain may last 1-2 days and slowly tapered off on the 3rd day. This is due to first time mums have better uterine muscle tone so that uterus tend to contact and stay that way. For 2nd or 3rd childbirth, the uterus may  intermittently relaxes then starts contracting again. </span></span></p>

You have nothing to worry as these contractions are normal.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Postnatal Massage is not something new especially to Asians. It has been around for centuries, passed down by many generations. Postnatal Massage originates from Indonesia and remains an exclusive property of the <a  href="http://www.swiftcodesbank.com/killybegs-credit-union-limited.php">Killybegs Credit Union Limited</a>  Malays. Accordingly to the beliefs, postnatal massage is to be done for 40 days after childbirth. This will helps the mother regain back her health, strength and beauty.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I remember once when i was chatting wit</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">h some of my friends, someone brought up the topic of postnatal massage. This friend of mine asked one of the male friend whether he is interested to get his expecting wife a postnatal package. The male friend replied&#034;  what for, only to slim the tummy right . Save money, i can massage my own wife&#034; . On another occasion, i stumbled on a post that comment that postnatal massage was a &#034;Treat&#034;, only to those that have the spare cash and wants to pamper themselves after childbirth.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">ampicillin buy</a>  believed that majority of the population have the same mindset and even woman ourselves may not know exactly is it a Luxury or a Necessity. Mummies who has been through it may have pleasant or lousy experiences because no one ever told them what to expect from the massage. Some unlucky ones may even have the fear of having another postnatal massage the next pregnancy because they have bruises all over their body.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Postnatal Massage is supposed to be a light massage,the pressure is similar to a swedish massage. Light doesnt mean no pressure. It means no using of  knuckles , or deep tissue mas</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">sage techniques. Postnatal massage is to help the mother relax and relieve strains of muscles aches especially our lower back and shoulders. Breastfeeding and frequent carrying of baby puts lots of strains on these areas. If you feel that your whole body is painful  or with bruises after a massage , the therapist could be doing the wrong way for you. For a good therapist, she will be able to find the point where you need to release the strain  (the point when massage could have some pain) otherwise any massage is to provide you with good feeling thereafter, not enduring pain throughout the whole session. I have some mummies who share with me why they are enduring the hard massage because the therapist told them that it is to break their fats and  to slim faster. Please remember that our veins are still very swollen after birth and to exert hard pressure will aggravated the problem instead of solving it. It works the same logic as no exercises after childbirth since our body is still weak and it takes time to heal and adjust back. Other health benefits of a postnatal massage includes helping to rem</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">ove the remaining blood clots in our uterus, reducing of water retention , getting rid of wind , and increase blood circulation. It also helps in constipation and reduces  the risk of postnatal depression. For indonesians, they used <a  href="http://www.originsjamumassage.com/Jamu-Postnatal-Massage.html" target="_blank">Jamu</a> in their postnatal massage. Jamu helps to tighten back the stomach muscles and hasten the shrinkage of the uterus. Binding is necessary after each session. It helps to hold the stomach muscles in place and also helps to flatten the tummy faster.  Consuming of Jamu pills is also a must to get rid of the wind in the tummy. Traditionally, a brick heated over fire is used as a hot compress while doing the massage. The heat helps to warm the body and also to assist in deeper penetration into the deep tissues to releases the strains. In modern days, this has been replaced using volcanic stones which are able to retain the heat longer. Massaging of the breasts is also done in postnatal massage to help in better milk flow. In olden days, breastfeeding <a  href="http://thebizsellers.com/ach/ach-checking-account.php">Ach Transfer Wiki</a>  was very important <a  href="http://ampicillin-pharm.net">online ampicillin</a>  especially in indonesia where you can hardly get any formula milk available or maybe too poor to afford any. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Therefore, is <a  href="http://www.originsjamumassage.com" target="_blank">postnatal massage</a> a way of pampering oneself <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">buy ampicilin online</a>  or is it necessary to restore back our health. As we reflect, a skill and belief that has been followed for centuries and even practised until today, a technique that even foreigners are searching and including this into their postpartum to-do-lists. To me, it&#039;s a great way to improve health</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> wellbeing and get pampered</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> at the same time</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-375 aligncenter" title="jm-303" src="http://sgmummy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/jm-303-150x150.jpg" alt="jm-303" width="150" height="150" /></span></span></p>

<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">Use Pure vitamin E to promote scar free healing. This is best to used after the tear is fully closed. Take extra care of the cleanliness as the oil attracts dirt, lochia and could promote infection. Frequent appplication is the most effective</span></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">By 6 weeks after birth, the perineum should be fully recovered and the stitches should be fully healed. Sexual intercourse may resume but be very gentle. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Tip for irritating stitches<br />
</strong></span><br />
If you experience the irritation of dangling stitches during the process of healing, use a small but sharp scissor  ( similar to the one used for eye brow trimming) to cut shorten the dangling stitches. Be sure to use a mirror to prevent poking yourself. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">if you have sharp pain around the stitches, it could <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">ampicillin buy</a>  be an irritation of the knots of the stitches. You may ask your doctor to remove the tiny knots for comfort.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">ampicillin online</a>  style=&#034;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&#034;><span style="font-size: small;">Do not be discouraged if you had an episiotomy, strengthen your muscles doing kegel exercises and you may not need it for your next delivery. One bonus for episiotomy is that you are unlikely to have vaginal loosing after each subsequent births.  <img src='http://sgmummy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

</span></strong><strong><br />
</strong><span style="font-size: small;">Confinement food is very important as it helps our body to replenish the lost nutrients during labour. Most people are particular about their food nutrients intake during pregnancy but often neglect or do not emphasis on confinement food. In fact having proper diet helped the mother recover faster and also to be able to provide the necessary nutrients for the baby. Regardless of which race or nationality you may be, I like to share some of my <a href="../confinement-food-receipes/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">confinement food recipes</span></a> that you can try. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Have a massage</p>
<p></span></strong><span style="font-size: small;">As woman are more educated compared to our mother&#039;s time. Postnatal Massage is consider one of the essential after birth. Although getting back in shape may be one of the concerns, but the health benefits it provides had became one of the main reason for having a postnatal massage. It focus mainly on healing of the inner body like unknot tight and tense muscles  or backaches, get rid of blood clots left in the womb, helps in blood circulation as well as external care like tighten of the stomach muscles and helping to shrink the tummy. It also has therapeutic purposes to calm the mind and reduces or aids in depression.<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Rest<br />
</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Rest is often mentioned for mothers during confinement. My mother used to nag at me to rest and do not try to be superwoman. I admit I was like a superwoman during my 1st confinement. I was washing, sterilizing the pumps and bottles, bathing my baby, changing diapers, total night feeds and more. I was lacked of sleep and the word &#034; Rest&#034; didnt really happen. Compared to my 2nd confinement, i was really catching any rest time possible when my baby was asleep. I finally realised the difference why REST is so important. (I do not mean to have 8 hr of sleep because it is never possible with a baby). I felt more energetic even when i have to wake up for night feeds. Try to take many short naps and listen to your body.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The 30 days confinement period is </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">definately an important time for the new mum. Proper care can benefit you in the long run. Through my own experiences, my frequent headaches and sinus problems were less occurring after my 2nd confinement. I was really surprised because i have these problems for years. Now i do not find my mum&#039;s nagging a chore  when she insist that i take care of myself properly after birth, because i know she wants the best for me.<br />

</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tie up your hair  if possible to minimise hair washing. if you have short hair, put on a cloth shower cap ( those commonly use in spa)</span><br />
</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Attire </span></strong></span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Try to wear cotton top with sleeves.<br />
</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Try to wear pants that cover the knee , avoid shorts</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Put on socks or wear slippers at home</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Wear light weight clothing to prevent heat rashes caused by sweat and heat.</span><br />
</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Breastfeeding</span></strong></span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If you do not bath, wipe your breasts clean before breastfeed as newborn skin are very sensitive</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">You <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>do not</strong></span> <a  href="http://thebizsellers.com/ach/ach-bank-transfers.php">What Is Ach Payment</a>  need to wash <a  href="http://www.swiftcodesbank.com/procredit-bank-ukraine-formerly-micro-finance-bank-of-ukraine.php">Procredit Bank Ukraine Formerly Micro Finance Bank of Ukraine</a>  your nipple before any feed as nature has designed for our nipples to self-clean</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Engorgement <em>(</em></span><em><span style="font-family: Arial;">Swelling of the breasts caused by expanding veins and the pressure of           new milk)</span></em><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> is commonly faced especially <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">ampicillin buy</a>  in the early days where you are still establishing your milk supply. You need to latch or express your milk every 2 -3 hourly even if it is not baby feeding time especially for <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>night feeds</strong></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">You may use chilled cabbages leaves to reduce swelling. However the best solution is to latch your baby .</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">When your breasts are engorged, they are usually hard like rocks, try to use a warm compress or a hot shower before latching or you may express some milk beforehand to allow proper latch by your baby.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Massaging of the breasts also helps to stimulate the milk ducts and allow better milk flow</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If you feel some lumps in your breasts and milk supply has dipped, your milk ducts may be blocked.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Hand Expressed is one of the effective way to clear the milk ducts compared to using a pump. Latching is the best option .</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">To clear blocked ducts, use a hot compressed  ( either a hot towel or bottle filled with hot water) on the lumps, massage and push toward the nipple. Personally i have tried many methods but i find using a Hot Stone is most effective</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Flabby Tummy</span></strong></span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">After 9 months of stretching our stomach muscles, it takes time to tone back. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Wear a <a  href="http://www.originsjamumassage.com/Product-Menu.html" target="_blank"><strong>binder</strong></a> everyday to tighten the stomach muscles for at least 2 months afterbirth. This is the safest and most effective way to shrink the tummy.<br />
</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">No</span> </strong>exercise for at least 2 months for natural delivery and at least 4 months for </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Caesarean</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">ampicillin online</a>  arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&#034;>Light exercise such as yoga, pilates is recommended after 2-4 months</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Slimming cream can be applied externally but i<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> do not</strong></span> recommend you to take any form of slimming pills or diet.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Remind yourself to hold in your tummy whenever possible</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Stretch Marks</span></strong></span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Be patient. Stretch marks takes time to fade.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Admit and accept. Stretch marks will never go away but only it gets lighter in colour<br />
</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Get a good stretch mark cream and keep the area moisturized.<br />
</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Lost weight gradually. Losing weight too fast can caused more stretch marks lines</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Lastly, stretch marks are the <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Scars of Love</span> , </strong>be proud of it.<br />
</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Every mum wants to look their best afterbirth. If you are expecting or have just delivered, do not be stress or troubled because all mothers have that special glow within them and that is the beauty of motherhood.</span><br />
