Need Advice On Where To Buy These 2 Food

[Leongsam]

My intention is to let her build back her health. I have gone to the chinese medicine hall and bought some herbs to make soup for her. The herbs are to help nourish the blood and to revitalise the health. Perhaps you can share with me how does the westerners nurse their women back to health after giving birth. Thank you in advance.

In the Western world, women who have just given birth aren't considered to be unhealthy in the first place so there is nothing to revitalise.

Unless there was excessive bleeding during childbirth, iron tablets can do the job of restoring hematocrit levels in no time at all.

None of the women in NZ that I've known go through any form of confinement. They're out walking the dog or cycling within a week or so of giving birth. My neighbour is a gym instructor and she was back at work 3 weeks after having her 3rd child. She told me that she'd done the same thing after the first two. "It's the fastest way of getting back into shape" was the advice she gave. She's right.

Two thirds of all miscarriages in the first trimester are caused by chromosome malformation which is a fancy term for saying that the fetus was too deformed to develop so the body does the natural thing which is to expel it. It's nature's way of ensuring that only healthy fetuses go full term.

If miscarriages occur more than 3 times in a row, then other causes need to be investigated as this falls outside of the statistical norms.

Ok, I have a better idea now. The first miscarriage that happened early last year, the fetus did not develop. This time round, we were so happy to hear the heartbeat during the first checkup. Some time around the 8-9 week(3 weeks ago), there was some light spotting and we rushed to A&E. The fetus was still ok, the heartbeat is still there. Both miscarriage happened during the first tri-semester. I will bring her to a private gynae for a checkup if the current hospital refuses to. I understand about your 3 times rule, but 2 miscarriages is too much for us. For someone who loves children alot, we are often baffled as to why there are so much unwanted babies around and yet we could not even have one.

Some of the things No No for confinement : No bathing.No washing of hair. No taking of plain water - must take longhan water. No cold stuff.Must take heaty food. Ginger is a must ( unless you are breast-feeding a jaundiced baby ). Yes, pig trotters with vinegar and ginger. Sesame oil chicken with ginger. Cannot go out - catch cold. Keep yourself warm. Cannot wash clothes and do any of the washing and cleaning. Be CONFINED for one full month. There must be some truth in this century old traditional care of the post-delivery mother. I think many Singaporean women still follow this tradition.

And the lucrative Confinement Lady industry has soared. Some charge as much as $2K !!! In addition, must give Angpau some more. So it is not cheap to hire one confinement lady ( who eats and sleeps most of the time ).

Of course, things are different for the Western people. But ( whether true or not ) many of these Western women get early arthritis. One of the attributing factors is the "confinement wind" which the ladies did not avoid . This may or may not be true. But statistically you can see more Western people suffering from all forms of arthritis than Asians. Of course, doctors will dismiss this myth.

A TCM may diagnose this as a woman having a 'weak' womb, because of the excessive 'ying' factor in her body.She
probabLy is someone with constant Low-bLood pressures, that ocassionaL fainting speLLs etcc..
Bro, seems Like you have to Let her take more 'por' stuffs..to baLance up with the 'yang' factor that she Lacks.

I've never heard such garbage in all my life. This confinement crap is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever come across.

TCM is another con job. A women in NZ recently died because of this sort of hocus pokus. She had a tumor on the head and it ate all the way through her skull into her brain. Had she seen a proper doctor to begin with, a few sessions of laser therapy would have nipped the problem in the bud.

It may be bullshit Sir.But the confinement industry is a million dollar industry. There MIGHT be just an element of "truth" in this. I don't know about your Sir. I wonder whether your wife had gone through any CONFINEMENT after her delivery. As far as I know, many if not ALL my friends had their wives go through this CONFINEMENT period.

Maybe confinement crap as you said Sir. But don't dismiss it totally if your wife has just delivered. It may be the biggest load of bullshit to you, but it's serious business for many. Thank you for your feedback.

Agreed. Some not ALL TCM are con people. I've seen a TCM treating a fungating breast cancer!!! They can treat anything under the sun. A friend of mine suffered from an incurable nerve-muscle disease, and he paid thousands for a guranteed package cure - a family secret remedy. In the end, he died. So please be careful about TCM treatment. I am NOT running down on TCMs but we must use our own common sense whether a condition needs to be treated by the appropriate therapists.

My mother had three children. She didn't put herself through any sort of "confinement" whatsoever. She lived to 93.. no arthritis, no headaches, no migranes, no major health problems throughout her life.

Confinement is nothing but a con job. It may be a million dollar industry but so too is religion and that's an even bigger load of bull.

The majority of the people on this earth are idiots and they believe what they want to believe even if there is absolutely no logical evidence for their hair brained perceptions of what life is all about.

Bro, this no bathing and no washing of hair myth must be discarded. It is extremely unhygienic in tropical SG. You can always take a quick hot shower during daytime if afraid of the cold. There is really no scientific basis for not washing your body.

 

[I_Hate_Pappies]

Take care, Raiders. Try again.
