Oral Thrush

My little boy has been on Nystatin for a week for oral thrush without the doctor seeing him,just from describing the symptoms. I've called them again today and have an appointment tomorrow as it hasn't cleared up, does it look like thrush or could it be something else?

To me that just looks like the roof of his mouth is white but no build up of thrush. My daughter has got reoccurring thrush since last year. 7 episodes of it and Nystatin does absolutely nothing for her x

Thankyou, I wasn't too sure, but as the Nystatin hasn't really done anything I thought it might be something else like that. Sorry to hear about your daughter, 7 times is a lot!! Hopefully it clears up completely for her soon! x

Would you have another baby after haemorrhaging during your last C section and your waters breaking at 30 weeks?

I have always wanted 3 children and am lucky enough to have 2. However during my last pregnancy my waters broke at 30’weeks, with me giving birth at 35 weeks via c section after some heavy bleeding. I also bled a lot during my C section as this was my second C section and almost had to have a blood transfusion.

Dehydration

Hey everyone,

Congratulations on all the babies ❤️ my 15th May baby decided to come 4 weeks early!

He's my second breastfed bubba and I still breastfeed my 3yr old as well. Tandem feeding makes me happy!

Anyway... I have a question that is probably more aimed to those that are tandem feeding I think because I didn't have the problem when only feeding my first son in the early days...

Dehydration. Now I remember feeling more thirsty the first time round and needing to drink more. But this time I'm always thirsty. My mouth and throat are always dry and by the end of the day my throat is sore.

It eases over night and I am drinking nearly a litre of water between 10pm and 8am but gradually throughout the day as I feed I get more thirsty but can't seem to find the sweet spot for hydration to ease the sore throat and dryness.

I've just started having hydration tablets as well as my usual water in take. I'm just curious if anyone else is dealing with a mouth that feels like you've just licked a sandy badger. 😂😂😂

C section

So four weeks ago I had emergency section to save both myself and the baby’s life. (My first ever section)
Past couple days I’ve had cold like symptoms a tiredness low body temperature but red warm cheeks and sweating discharge that really smells cheeses and not normal.
Just been to the GP and she checked my throat and chest sent me on my way and said it’s normal. (I’ve never experienced this before after birth) is this common after c sections? I was worried I was infected reason I made the appointment
