Stitches Removed

I went to remove the stitches today at the gynae's after we sent A to his grandparent's in the morning. Then, we went to collect B's metabolism and blood test reports at the Pediatrician before we arrived at the gynae's.

My gynae tried to make it easy and joked around as though he was peeling the plasters and then he pulled the stitches along with the plasters. It was a fast one. Actually, I did feel him pulling the thread and did suspect that he was pulling the plasters off. Thank God, there was no pain and no panic like last time!

He told me he used dissolvable threads for the inside and the non-dissolvable ones for the outside. There were some bruises on the wound though. He sprayed a plastic over it and instructed me to apply the anti-scar cream over it starting Mon...

I weighed myself today at the clinic. Strangely, the hospital did not take my weight when I checked in but based on the last visit to the gynae (which was about one week before the checkin), I had only lost 6kg of weight during the delivery and left with about 7kg to lose! Doc says that my stomach muscles are weak and there are quite a bit of reserved fats around my tummy! :(

Anyways, we took a photo with Doc before we left, didn't have the chance to do in the hospital. :)

Next visit would be one month later. Meanwhile, I had to continue with the fish oil and vitamins.

After the visit, DC drove me to Marina Square where I shopped for quite a while for my CNY clothes! :P (Ought not be doing this during my confinement but it's CNY when I'm out of confinement!) I managed to choose 2 floral/graphic nursing dresses, 2 nursing tops and 1 ponchos. DC got himself some socks too. :)
