I read an article before about weight loss plateau. Maybe it can help.

so glad to see this thread

mga sis may solution pa ba sa flabby belly? super annoying kasi eh! pagnakatayo ako hindi naman sya halata pero kapag umupo ako hayan na obvious na sya. ampanget! ito na lang talaga problem ko. BTW 13 months na si baby ko, CS here.

[yang]

^ako 5mos post cs. need ko daw mag core exercise.

[viellemacey]

^sis ano yung core exercise? sit ups? hindi kaya bumuka yung cs sis?

[elle_tabs]

hi po sa lahat

ask lang po sana ako if ilang months bago pede paayos ng buhok if NSD po ako..

TIA Godspeed

[viellemacey]

^BF ka ba sis? ako kasi after ko magstop mgpaBF nagpaganda na ako. hehe.

[elle_tabs]

^ nope.. hehe.. stop po ako kasi lage ako sinisipon at bahing ng bahing kaya di ko mapaBF baby.. pede na po kaya ako paayos buhok?

[viellemacey]

^go na sis. basta wag lang yung sobrang mabaho. yun kasi ang concern dati ng ob ko pagmasyado mabaho yung gamot sa hair baka makasama kay baby pagnainhale nya pero di naman mabaho yung ginagamit na gamot sa mga high end na salon eh unlike dun sa mga salon sa tabi tabi lang. but ask your ob rin kung pwede ka na basta ako nung nagstop na ko magpaBF gorabels na agad ako sa pagpapaayos ng hair. hehe

Question para sa mommies who had an active lifestyle before C-section.
Normal delivery kasi ako nung first pregnancy. After 2 weeks I was back on my feet with some light chores.
Medyo mahilig ako sa mga activities like running, badminton, trekking, swimming. As I remember after 6 months pa ako nagstart maging active ulit just as a precaution, not necessarily dahil pinagbawalan ng OB.
This time I am carrying twins and I was told of a great probability na ma-CS. I'm wondering how long I should wait to start with my usual activities again. Will it take a year or so?

[Chakadoll22]

normal delivery ako sis pero madami akong kilala na cs and matagal recovery period nila. pero case to case basis din. if you have active lifestyle prior to giving birth, baka mas mabilis ka makarecover. saka ikaw lang din makakapagsabi if kaya mo na. iba na talaga pag mommy ka na no? and twins pa aalagaan mo 

on topic, meron na din akong plans pano magpabeauty ulit since I'm breastfeeding, mga natural remedies lang. nag breakout skin ko nung buntis and maiitim ang leeg, ua, etc. nalighten naman ng johnson's milk bath pero uneven pa din. so im using tokyo love soap since natural ingredients daw. maganda nga sya and dami nakapansin na glowing ako. and since tamad ako mag lotion, nabasa ko na okay ang sweet almond oil as moisturizer and even sa stretch marks, di man mawala eh sana mabawasan.

for facial mask, i use yogurt or bearbrand with honey since yun ang pinakamadaling gawin everyday. i even tried yung oatmeal ni baby with breast milk. ayaw nya kc kainin so nilagay ko sa face. sobrang soft and smooth after di naman kc sensitive ang skin ko.

for longer and thicker eyelashes, castor oil naman. effective nga sa hair since lage naka-bun para di mapunta sa babies ko, weekly ako treat with olive oil. my baby is 9 mod old na pero dami pa ding hair fall. parebond ako pag mga 1/5yo na si baby and padating na si hubby

yung pagpapapayat, sa breastfeeding na yun, hihi

[viellemacey]

^sis ako until now may konting hairfall pa rin, 14 months na si baby. i don't think its because of the shampoo kasi hindi naman ako nagpalit ng shampoo simula nung umanak ako. buti nga konti na lang ngayon.

^^i have an active lifestyle rin sis before i got pregnant. i dance and jog everyday, go mountain climbing ( with tons if sunblock spf 100. hehe ), travel dito travel doon and so on, pero nakabalik ako on dancing just after my baby turned 1 kasi dun ko lang nafeel na pagsumasayaw ako wala na yung "kirot" effect dun sa tahi ko. but my cousin who gave birth 3 days after me, nahospitalized sya kasi sumakit tahi nya and nilagnat sya ( just last week lang 'to nangyari ) to think na stay at home lang sya. so it depends on your body talaga

[aquarius]

Chakadoll22 and viellemacey, thanks. I thought it would be just like appendectomy. 
I'll be willing to wait para ma-ensure na safe na sa akin ang activities, and so I can also take care of my babies more.

On the balik-alindog topic, nagpahilot ako after manganak. Meron talagang hilot para sa ganun. Para mabalik sa dating shape ang balakang, at para lumabas yung blood na natitira sa uterus (yes meron talagang lalabas after ng hilot session). Pero normal delivery ako nun. I don't think it's safe for CS.

Hmm ...wala naman akong stretch marks noon. I used Body Shop Cocoa Body Butter all throughout the pregnancy. I just don't know if it helped or hindi lang talaga prone sa stretchmarks, because my mom didn't have any, too. Pero para sure na din, this second pregnancy, I still put on body butter.

^^I'll Try that Tokyo Love soap after delivery.  Sana gumana sa akin. Normally beauty products don't work on me.

May mga beauty products padin ba na hindi pwedeng gamitin kapag nag-bbreastfeed? Kagaya nung preggy pa? halimbawa yung mga products na may parabens?

[viellemacey]

^yes sis. nung nagpapabreastfeed ako dami ko hindi ginagamit especially supplements. yung parabens ek ek na yan halos lahat naman ng products meron nyan, lotion yata ang nagamit ko na may parabens pero ok naman ang baby ko alive ang kicking pa rin.

[chofontanilla]

Ako sis kahit ano ginagamit kong product while bfing, maingat lang ako sa mga tinatake na supplements.

[snowflakes]

i dont know what happened but i lost 5 lbs... kaya balik alindog ako ulit. hehe na inspire na naman ako mag gym..

[prickyslime]

Hi! 1month and 3 weeks na since nung nanganak ako. CS nga po pala ako, kailan kaya ako pwedeng mag-sit ups? saka anong exercise ba ang safe para sakin ngayon? Thanks!

[erin1992]

hi evryone! pa-join po.  i'm 11weeks post partum (from my 2nd delivery, CS) and i'm 3kgs away from my pre-preg weight  i'd say effective nga yung breastfeeding+puyat+pagod, hahaha!

may mga pwede bang inumin na pampapayat na pwede sa breastfeeding mom? 

[Cayennepepper2014]

^sis erin, same question tayo haha. Lagi ako gutom every after dede ni beybi. Waahhh!

[aquarius]
