Why do I keep needing to use the toilet?

Expert

Throughout the whole pregnancy, the womb presses the front on the bladder, which causes increased urge to pee. Some patients have the womb pressing on the exit of the bladder, which causes retention of urine. If it presses onto the back (where the rectum is), it can cause constipation. As the faeces liquifies, it might result in diarrhoea when the mother is finally able to pass it out.

Can my baby now start to sense light?

Expert

No one really knows because it is a dark environment in the womb, and it is a moot point because it is irrelevant. What is more important is that the baby's eyesight is fine after delivery. Babies get routinely screened at birth so you don't have to worry.

Are there any post-partum exercises that I can do with baby at home? What is consider safe for me and baby?

I think there are many videos on YouTube if you were to search exercise with babies and it also depends on how involved and how old ur baby is. U can carry baby or put baby in a carrier on you and do squats/calf raise/pile squats or hold the baby by the armpits and do some raises. There are many possibilities: always ensure the baby is well supported in weight whether in ur arms or in the carrier. Baby could also be on the floor in front of u as u do push ups

My daughter has slight eczema. How do I find out what triggers it and how do I prevent it from getting worse?

It can be triggered by many thing -- when baby's skin is dry, when it comes in contact with allergens or when the skin is infected. In babies, saliva from drooling may cause additional triggers. Specific triggers can vary based on the child and can include pets, carpet, dust mites, fabrics (such as wool), cigarette smoke, and scented products like detergent.

What are the risks of Ortho-K??

The main risk associated with Ortho-K is that of corneal infection. Corneal abrasions may occur when the lenses are not properly cleaned and particles rub against the cornea. If you are considering this as an option for your child, be aware of the sign of infections such as pain, discomfort, tearing, eye discharge, eye redness or sudden blurring of vision. When your child appears to be having any of these signs, do bring him/her to an ophthalmologist in case of infection. Apart from this, Ortho-K seemed to be a relatively safe option for managing myopia for children.

How would I know if my baby is happy in infantcare? It's easy to tell for a older kid. Planning to send my baby soon.

It's really hard to tell for an infant as they are young and unable to express. Give the baby probably a month to get use to the center and caretakers over there. After that one month, when you bring your child to infantcare, See if your child smiles upon seeing their caretaker. If they do, means they are happy with the school. You can always give random call check with the school to see how is your baby adapting too
