Is it Petechiae?

Spotted this 2 spots appearing out of nowhere on my 6 month baby's leg. He is otherwise active and playing. Is this a cause for concern?

Is it Petechiae?

Petechiae is multiple small red dots so this doesn’t look like.. I don’t think it’s a concern!

Cramps at week 37 especially throughout the night

Anyone experienced bad cramps at week 37? Mine happens mostly at night and I couldn't sleep at all due to the bad cramps. Its a combination of tightening of the tummy and lasted for an hour plus. I could manage to only sleep for an hour before awaken by cramps again and couldn't go back to sleep as the cramps is there for another hour or so. Also, it accompanied with tummyache which I went (not constipation and not diarrhea). No bleeding, water bag didn't burst. Last week went to gynae and was told that I am not dilated yet.

Same, it happened to me also this morning. I went to kkh women’s emergency but doctor said not dilated yet.

Parenting Style

Recently me and my husband have been arguing over different parenting style. We are both working full time so we agreed to let my in laws to care for my LO. However, things started to be a little out of control when my in laws couldn’t care for my LO at most times. They will be caring for other grandchildren, bringing my LO to car rides while chauffeuring other grandchildren, make frequent plans to travel and expecting me and my husband to take leaves to care for my LO in their absence. I suggested to send my LO to infant care and in this case, everyone will be happy and convenient. We as the parents can work without worries, my LO can get proper care and attention and my in laws can care for their grandchildren and travel as and when they want to. But it seems like I’m the only one who like this idea. My husband and my in laws are strongly against sending my LO to infant care saying that she has missed watching her kids growing up so she want to make up. But in my mind, this is my kid, not yours, why do you wanna interfere with how I want to raise my kid just because you missed your chance? HELP!!!

I totally agree with what is in your mind! 🙌🏼 It will be good if your hubby is on the same page with you, if not it will be difficult on your end. Infant care is a good idea if you not keen for the in-laws to continue looking after your LO. If not, maybe can explore the idea of hiring a helper?

Anybody know why is this happening? I never encounter this issue before;(

Anyone know what is this ? Im on 3 month postpartum

Your hormones are changing mommy. I was super dry no matter how much I drink and scrub and moisturise after giving birth. I had 3-4 eye stye on both eyes for almost two months straight. Nothing we can do about it. It will fade eventually, just be patient with yourself. You are still recovering.

Postpartum urinary incontinence

Anyone encountered the above? PP day 23 and before birth I am able to pee halfway and then hold my urine for a few seconds, but after vaginal birth, I have difficulty controlling my urine. It is so upsetting. . When will this pass? Sigh .. Just a note, when I was in hospital - they had to put me on urine catheter (it was painful and super uncomfy for me) as I couldn't pass urine after giving birth. Till now I still feel the slight pain / uncomfortable feeling when I urine

For vaginal birth some will experience either difficulty to pee or cant control pee. Therefore advise to do kegel exercise or a proper post natal massage to "correct" your womb area. This help to better control pee/easily help you pee. If this is a prolong concern please do visit doctor and let them know.
