When is an Episiotomy required?

Expert

It is required if your doctor assesses that the baby head is about to tear the vagina, to prevent tears to unwanted areas - the uretha or anus. On rare occasions, such tears can cause a fistula - a permanent connection between the vagina and the anus or the bladder.

Which painkillers are safe in pregnancy?

Expert

Panadol is probably the safest, as long as you are not allergic to Paracetamol. The other group of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are not advisable. If the pain is very severe, sometimes the opioid painkillers can be used but the problem with this is that the mum and child can get addicted to it.

Are repeated scans safe for my baby?

Expert

To date, there is no evidence to claim that ultrasound is harmful to mother or baby during pregnancy. An ultrasound is different from an X-ray or CT scan. So if you do repeated scans it's okay.

Anyone use this for your baby? Is it good for rashes?

I have a couple of friends who use this for their baby's eczema. You can try using it for rashes. It is good for dry and sensitive skin.

I was told to avoid ginger if I’m breastfeeding my baby for fear of jaundice, but confinement food has ginger. What should I do?

Hi, Asian babies tentatively are more prone to jaundice. It can be due to the breastmilk or genetics. For me, I took smaller amount of ginger than required for the 1st 2 weeks. I only took tonics when my baby is cleared of jaundice. In the end, my baby still got jaundice. PD advised me to continue with my intake of tonics and my baby was alright after some sunbathing.
