Body changes after giving birth

[EllaBratin]

gave birth last Aug. Anyone here nag keloid yung CS scars? I recovered fast. in fairness. 2nd day ko pa lang after giving birth I'm back on my feet again, hindi sumasakit ang sugat ko. Vertical stitch ako below my belly button. When I reached 3rd months after giving birth, I noticed madalas kumati ang scar ko, paminsan sumasakit and worse, ang laki and purple colored sya, keloid. I asked some of my mommy friends hindi naman daw nagkeloid sa kanila. In some days, I don't mind, it's like a badge of honor that I gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby pero in some days, nakakalungkot parang ako lang ata nag keloid 

Sis, nagkeloid din ang scar ko... Lahat na yata ng problema nasa tiyan ko na. 

[sistah!]

im still so fat! actually i medyo fat naman talaga then i lost weight, then i got pregnant. ngayon, it's been a year since i gave birth and masikip pa rin sa finger ko ang wedding ring ko. gusto ko na nga bumili na lang ng bago para magkasya. i had a cs so kahit im proportionately plump, parang hindi talaga nagiging flat yung tyan ko. i get by with a little help from my spanx. lol

^^ good to know sis Ella hindi ako nag iisa. Do you use Dermatix and the likes? I do, Dermatix Ultra pero parang walang effect. Ang laki and ang lapad ng scar ko wahhh

^ I still look preggy, I get that 'Mam SOP lang po, we need to know how many months preggy?' sort of thing haha I think I'm fatter now pa kesa nun preggy ako coz I was on a diet due to GDM. But kasya pa naman wed ring namin, we had it sized custom fit

[EllaBratin]

Noong una, scar therapy yata iyon. Pero sandali lang ako naglagay kasi keloid-in talaga ang balat ko, pati yung injection ko sa braso, keloid din. Kaya focus na lang ako sa pagpapaliit ng tiyan.

hhmmm ewan ko tama ba dito ko mag rant o may ibang topic for me..pakisabi na lang kung meron iba..kasi 2 yrs na dumaan nung nanganak ako sa 1st baby ko.ang waistline ko dati 26-27..ngayon 29-30,minsan 31 pa nga pag talagang sinumpong ako ng gutom at napa kain ng kanin.hirap na hirap ako magpapayat.nag fruit diet ako kaso nakakapang hina.kahit sa bahay lang ako lagi ako pagod,gustong gusto ko mag gym wala naman maiwan sa 2 yr old baby ko dahil wala maid,si hubby nasa trabaho hanggang gabi.

sa mga mommies dito naibalik niyo ba yung dating liit ng tummy niyo or hindi rin?

[shieldmaidenofRohan]

^ dami ko kilala ganyan din, pero they were able to achieve their desired weight and waistline 

avoid sweets and salty food. drink lots of water. exercise ka din, dami videos sa youtube you can follow  ako I gave birth recently lang, mukha pa rin akong buntis  pero magdadiet na ko after christmas. Sayang kasi pag ngayon ako nagstart 

[MrsKolca]

hello mga sis! share ko lang body changes ko after giving to my 1st baby (i am now pregnant with the 2nd one)..

i gained weight but was able to slim down through diet and exercise.. the best thing is, 34B ako before mabuntis.. when i got preggy, naging 38B.. after the baby, naging 36B nako.. saya lang.. ^^

[MissJanelle]

I gained a whopping 54 lbs when i was pregnant, as in sobrang laki ko, i really went overboard sa kain yun tuloy na CS ako, pero baby ko 5 lbs 9 oz lang. Lol!

Dami kong stretch marks, pero wala kahit isa sa tiyan. Nasa thighs, butt and hips ko. Weird! Can't wait for Dr's appt next wk for 6 wks post partum para i-clear niya na akong magbuhat ng mabigat. Gusto ko na mag exercise para bumalik na ulit katawan ko.

Good news, nagmanas yung paa and legs ko pero nawala agad. Same pre-pregnancy size ulit suot kong sapatos.

[m_lim]

sa mga normal delivery, ganon ba talaga yung tiyan parang jelly parin? parang naiiwan yung laman loob ko kapag gumalaw ako.

[akiteklea]

^yeah at parang minsan may gumagalaw pa rin sa loob. hehe...funny feeling!

Akin naman, hai nako yung tummy ko like 3 months preggy pa rin, pero at least improving na ah. One week after giving birth, para akong 6 months preggy! Binder everyday at girdle when going out helps!

Another thing, napapansin ko rin, hindi tumutubo yung unwanted hair ko sa armpit and vagin*, hindi ko alam kung dahil ba sa hormones yun. Its been 2 months, pero during the whole time hindi man lang ako nag pluck or nag shave sa armpit ko. Pati nga yun sa kilay ko rin hindi na tumubo.

May mga na experience ba kayong mga ganun sis?

11 days after giving birth bumalik na yung size ng paa ko. Im using panty girdles para naman lumiit yung puson kasi right after giving birth mukang 4 month preggers pako ngayon mukang 2 months na lang  nakakapayat talaga ang puyat, napansin ko yung appetite ko nagdecrease talaga compared nung pregnant ako so far yun pa lang yung stretchmarks sa puson ko ayun pulang pula 

[k_heart]

After 3 kids, ayan, 2 sizes bigger na.ha!ha! pero dun sa first ko, mas pumayat pa ako kesa dati. as in no need for maternity clothes.Then akala ko same dun sa 2 kids ko (2nd and 3rd). Dun ako nagkamali. A month after giving birth dun sa 2nd ko, sinukat ko yung jeans ko, hanggang thighs ko lang umabot. Ayaw man lang sa waist ko.

[m_lim]

ako naman 7th day ko today, pinaliguan ako ng MiL ko ng pinakuluang bayabas. steam bath.

ang sarap. pinagpawisan ako. kaso nanginig mga laman ko sa tagal ata di naligo.

presko ng pakiramdam. sana gumaling na tahi ko.

pansin ko nabawasan talaga appetite ko. to think sobrang takaw talaga ako before. ngayon wala akong ka gana gana. siguro takot rin ma constipate at mamaga nanaman hemorrhoids ko.

mas gusto ko pa matulog dahil sakit parin mga laman laman ko.

bukas try ko na mag binder since nabawasan na maga ng tiyan ko

[cerelina]

^sis nsd ka db? ni try ko rin yan binder sis tapos nakita ni ob sabi nya mas ok daw yung panty girdle kasi yung binder daw sa cs patients nila nirerecommend para hindi bumuka tahi nitry ko nga and so far mukang effective naman  may flabs pa ako pero lumiit na talaga meron girdle na abot sa waist yung taas

[m_lim]

^yup nsd ako. ganun ba sis? naku sana magkasya pa yung mga luma kong panty girdle. whole day mo suot?

pansin ko nga yun tiyan ko lawlaw. parang loose skin. dami pa naman stretchmarks

[MissJanelle]

Nag binder lang ako for the first 3 days after c-section to support the incision to heal. My doctor advised me to discontinue wearing the binder, he said it actually makes your abdominal muscles weaker if you wear it for the long run because it doesn't give your abs a chance to work and contract if the binder is doing all the work for you.

[cerelina]

^^yup sis wholeday even when going to bed and in fairness lumiit puson ko hehe

[yeline]

6wks palang baby ko and im back at my pre pregnancy weight. ang bilis! sa sobrang bilis, kinabahan ako.baka hindi normal? has anyone experienced this?

[khriseeee]

sis m_lim I wore my girdle 3 days after giving birth, panty girdle so wore it na the whole day. Then I topped it off with binder pa, but i alternated that since my skin got itchy.

I looked 6 months preggy pa right after giving birth but mga after 1 week my tummy was significantly smaller and 2-3 weeks after nearly no tummy na at all. Just jiggly bits hahahaha

I stomach actually became flat for awhile due to me working on nightshift (I always lose weight on nightshift) but since October I've been eating to my heart's content, and now have a small bump

My waist is back to normal - I can wear my old size 4 skirts, but my hips have gone up a size, so I've had to buy all new pants/jeans.

I can fit into all my pre-preg tops too, even the fitted ones.

[m_lim]

^thanks sis! 8th day ko today pero di pa ako makapag girdle. bukas try ko.

dinudugo pa kasi ako.
