Recovery of anemia in pregnancy
It's Sunday and a good friend of the "mom-to-be" called to inquire about our daughter, little Dawnxi, and to ask about Doris' anemia during her pregnancy and her recovery afterward. We have summarized this aspect of Doris' pregnancy with little Dawnxi in the hope that it will help our pregnant friend. When Doris was about 16 weeks pregnant, she felt dizzy and her legs were very tired one day when she was getting ready to stand up after taking a shower. Daniel helped Doris up and laid down on the couch for a long time. At first, we thought it was a normal pregnancy symptom, so we didn't care. Then, Doris got up several days in a row and got dizzy in the morning and was not feeling well. A week later, we went for a prenatal checkup. After we told the doctor about the situation, the doctor said that Doris should be anemic, so Doris had a routine blood test.

The Joy of Healing Lactational Adenitis during Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is a very important and happy thing to do. However, there are some difficulties that can only be deeply appreciated after we have experienced them ourselves. Despite all the precautions we took, we encountered many difficulties while breastfeeding. And it was a grim time, with Covid-19 ravaging the world and many services in the community at a semi-stagnant state. There was a time when we were in pain and helplessness, unable to see where the hope for Doris's recovery lay, and more often than not, the two of us had to feel our way forward. Lactation mastitis in Doris occurs between 3 and 4 weeks after delivery. Doris's early mastitis treatment focused on the unobstructed flow of milk. The main treatment was to soothe the liver, clear away heat, dredge milk and reduce swelling. The massage method of lactation was to massage from the base of the breast with both hands, slowly squeezing and advancing towards the nipples, with a degree of force that Doris could tolerate. We gently tugged on the nipple several times while massaging to widen the milk complex at the front of the breast, a method that promotes the smooth discharge of milk.

Happy Pre-Mother
The most important thing we would like to say is that pregnant women should control excessive weight gain. Many elderly people believe that pregnant daughters-in-law need a lot of nutrition to sustain two lives, so they tend to force their daughters-in-law to eat too much food. As a result, some pregnant women gain more than 25kg throughout their pregnancy. And excessive obesity is bad for the health of both mother and child. Obesity in pregnant mothers can increase the risk of diseases such as gestational diabetes. We often hear from our fat mother friends who complain that they have little to no milk after giving birth because of the fatty tissue blocking the milk ducts. From our own experience and from asking women who have also given birth, the ideal weight gain during pregnancy should be between 10kg and 15kg.

WARNING! If you are looking for a happy story, don't read this one! Daddy! I was a different person 14 years ago. Now, I’m unrecognizable as the man I was before you came into my life. I remember when I first learned of you. That was my happiest moment until then and that happiness has been repeated a thousand-thousand times since – every time I touch your silky caramel hair, when you put your hand in mine, or when I hear “daddy” usher from your lips.
