Hi Parents,

My name is Hooi.

I have 1 question need your help to advise. My wife had a C section surgery due to HELLP Syndrome, and my baby girl was 34 weeks (premature). Baby is in good health but doctors are monitoring just to make sure she is healthy enough to be discharge (currently taking breast milk and IV drips)

My question is, can my wife still take Chinese confinement herbs since she had this complication ?

Thanks in advance

4 days. currently not yet taking heavy chinese herbs and she is going for kidney checkup on 10 Oct

so it is advised not to take chinese confinement herb until her condition cleared ?

currently she is not taking any chinese confiment herbs, only some pills and confinement meal

thx for yr advice. im in dillema, the elder side are saying not to take fruits and vegetables and water. the reason was its ‘too cold’ for them, and will cause further issues in later years.

and the doctors and nurse just gave everything as mentioned above, including chicken and certain fish which Chinese said ‘poisonous’ for surgery wound (if you understand what i mean)

thx

hello, thx for all the advice. currently, we on hold chinese herbs, and only taken some meals made by my parents.

i have no other way to say this but seeing your child with needles inside her tiny hand and feet, tube inside her mouth, sleeping inside an incubator with machines that i dont understand really break your heart. i had to cry alone so that i can comfort my wife..
