Postpartum bleeding and Discharge

(Pls see the attached photo about the 3 stages of postpartum bleeding) Postpartum bleeding and discharge is called "Lochia" it will smell like menstrual blood. Some describe it as musty, metallic, sour or stale. However, it shouldn't smell fishy or foul. This could mean bacteria has gotten into your vagina and caused an infection. What can make lochia worse? 1. During or after physical activity like walking or climbing stairs. 2. While breastfeeding (chestfeeding). 3. When you stand up out of bed in the morning. How do I treat lochia at home? 1. Use only sanitary maxi pads for the first six weeks postpartum. Plan on going through several large, thick pads per day for at least a week. 2. Don’t use tampons or insert anything into your vagina until after you’ve seen your healthcare provider. This can introduce bacteria to your uterus and cause infection. 3. Wear underwear and pants you don’t mind ruining. Lochia may stain your clothes. TAKE NOTE Healing after childbirth takes several weeks. Take it easy and get as much rest as possible during this time. Avoid heavy activities (lalo na ang paglalaba o pagbubuhat ng mabibigat) It can also cause your bleeding to start again or get heavier. Linisan, hugasan ang pwerta araw-araw at patuyin bago magsuot ng underwear w napkin Source: Cleveland Clinic (2022) my.clevelandclinic.org

Postpartum bleeding and Discharge

Can you get pregnant when you have lochia discharge? • It’s best to AVOID SEXUAL INTERCOURSE for at least six weeks after giving birth. Your healthcare provider will give you the OK for intercourse after your postpartum check-up. Introducing bacteria and objects into your vagina before it has healed can cause infection. When it’s OK to have sex again, use contraception because you can still become pregnant even if your menstrual period hasn’t returned.

Bawal ba ang juice at street foods sa breastfeeding mom?

first time mom here, habang nasa hospital pa ako nang matapos manganak noong Aug. 14 sabi ng doctor na kahit ano pwede na kainin h'wag lang cup noodles/instant noodle. Ngayong nandito na ako sa bahay maraming pinagbabawal sa akin yung mother in law ko Pang merienda ko lang sana kanina kase natakam ako mula nung nagbuntis ako iniwasan ko talaga ang mga ito. • Kayo po ba mga mommy na nagpapabreastfeed din umiinom ba kayo ng juice (Nestea/Tang Juice)? •Street foods tulad ng fishball, kikiam, at fries bawal ba ito sa bf mom?

umiinom ako ng juice pero yung red juice moms since pang bfeeding yun. iwas po sa mga too sweet drinks like yung tang (taas ng sugar content nito) minimize ang intake ng tea, coffee, cola, soda or any carbonated drinks kasi nakakalessen ng milk production.. best to drink fresh fruit juices. more more water. streetfoods- kumakain naman ako pero in moderation and make sure na malinis lang kasi mahirap magtae dahil bawal ang loperamide sa bfeeding. better na kayo na lang magluto ng fishballs etc. kumakain din ako ng fries pero tikim lang (unlike dati na nauubos ko talaga) parang nasanay na yung katawan ko na hanggang tikim na lang ako basta alam kong unhealthy foods. akala kasi natin na once nanganak na ok na pero mas maselan kasi lalo pag bfeeding. lahat ng kinakain natin napupunta rin sa bmilk na madedede ni baby..kaya ingat ingat din po tayo. pwedeng kumain basta sakto lang.
