Tomblessings:
Hello!!!

Please help a worried mum. I'm 3weeks postpartum(CS) and my tommy is still very big. I stopped taking warm water 3days back. Should I continue drinking the warm water?
Please what else can I take to reduce it.

Thank you

Hi mama, I'm 6 weeks post partum and I still take warm water. What I noticed is that anytime I take the water my body expels blood but any day I don't, I dont expel blood so I would advice you keep on with it... I also heard EBF helps flatten the tommy though I don't know how true it is but please don't tie it...

If after every every, your tommy still doesn't go down, just love yourself like that.. Its not easy to walk that journey with a full human in there..

Hello please help a worried mum
How long does it take a CS surgery site(dunno what to call it) to heal up, went for dressing today, told them to snap it for me and d site is not making me happy atall. We are two weeks already

My plaster was removed on the second day to allow air in.. I don't understand why you should still have the plaster on you at 2 weeks as plaster makes wounds look fresh.. You should have started cleaning with spirit and allowing air reach the spot. Maybe you should try talking to them

MummyNeto:
they latch at the same time, one on each breast, then they take formula when extremely hungry.

Kudos to you mama ejima.. Its not a small job you are doing?

Hello mama's, please is it normal for baby to feel restless whenever she wants to sleep? My baby is a month and one week old but anytime she is ready to sleep, she will be grunting and twisting her body even when breastfeeding her until I back her.

My baby does this too though I just keep patting her till she sleeps.. Sabi mamas will help shed light on it

MummyNeto:
i wish my twin can do same, they have rejected bottle and prefers breastfeeding, even though we started with bottles right from the hospital, they keep wasting milk, I’m just tired

Haa, how have you been coping? My baby feeds from my breast but once in a while I express in a bottle and give her so that it won't be difficult when we want to start bottle feeding

I took it last week Wednesday

Its better you go for a test mama

TOHHAN:

Move the two leg at d same time? Also, my baby don't belge easily after takn formula bt he can fart, he might sleep off while eating nd attyms he ll belge afta waking up; if he didn't sleep off, it might take 1hr for him to belge(dunno if it's normal)
Thanks for d swollen legs

Try watching a video on YouTube so as to get it properly, it is one leg at a time. Try moving your own legs as if you are riding a bicycle... Exactly that's how it is and how you'll move his legs one after the other.... If my DD sleeps off while sucking I still put her on my shoulder and rub her back till she belches though she sometimes does not.. Try it on your boy too..

Please mamas, is it possible to fall sick not quite long after taking anti malaria drug that they give at antenatal? Been feeling so sick since today and I haven’t felt my baby kick much, I’m worried though i intend going to the hospital tomorrow morning..

When did you take the drugs, perhaps its the one making you feel that way.. If its been some days you took it before feeling this way, you might need to get some tests done to be sure of what's wrong

TOHHAN:
Pls hw is dis bicycle legwork abi wetin Una dey call am done for babies.
@Layormi, has Ur swollen legs come down? Mine has cum down though my normal shoe size never fit in totally bt kinda painful if pressed

You'll lay baby down and move his legs like he is riding a bicycle...
Your swollen feet will go down though it may take time.. My legs did not swell in pregnancy until I gave birth, it took time but now it's totally gone..

Thank you ma for checking up on me.

After hanging legs for 2weeks in the hospital (as I stated in my last post) the drainage stopped, after 2 days I saw blood but it was just a wipe. Went for scan the following day, scan said that the lead twin T1 had no heart activity but T2 was fine.
That night I started having contractions before I knew what was happening I expelled parts of T1 and the membrane of T2 broke, all the liquor drained out that night.
I was booked for evacuation the next day. That was how I lost both of them
I am back to square one after waiting for so long, I don't even know where to start from. I thought everything abt this TTC would have ended this year.

Sabi Mama's pls if there's anything I can do now to help me take in again pls let me know.

Sorry about this mama, by the grace of God we'll have you here soonest... And start trying again as soon as you can, God will answer you and your joy will not be cut short. Amen.
Also talk to your practitioner to know what went wrong so you can know what to do next time and what to avoid.

It's as if you know what I wanted to ask today. I have never heard of lantern and baby before..
My whole mind was that MIL wanted to put the hot top of the lamp on babys navel.....
Don't blame me oo...my mind is a traveller...

Lol, that one is roasting oooo... Thank God lantern is almost extinct

StarryV:
The bags suppose dey with me o mama. But DH no wan use ear hear say i wan carry bag. He said instead I'll deliver here, that I should resign and move over permanently. That was why I couldn't carry the bag again. All I did was just to pack it and keep them with him. [/b]From what I'm seeing sef he won't let me return to my work after delivery[b].

This would be better.. Same thing my neighbour did to his wife after her leave expired. He didn't allow her go back , oga does not want to come back from work and not see his daughter's face

1stymom:


Oh!! Thank you ma'am... It's so nice reading that your thoughts are with me.. I am kukuma fine.. It's just that I feel tired coming online these days and to comment on post seems like a heavy work for me.... On a serious note, I can't wait o.. I jealous all of una wey don born...May God bless you and the family... This means so much..

Good to know you are good ma, the tiredness will be over before you know it..

novia22:

No. 1...Thank God your MIL has gone cos I don't know what she wanted to use lantern to do to the babys navel.

Lemme tell you how "they" use it .. "They" put the fallen cord in a piece of cloth and tie it, then put the piece of cloth on a lantern, test the heat on their cheeks to know if its suitable for the baby's skin before putting it on the navel. "They" say it helps it to heal fast.. My MIL couldn't do it to as we do not have lantern

Cappo. Good morning.. We are doing good... Shopping is on 90%.. Though, I didn't step out to shop o my sweetheart did with the help of a colleague at work. Hmmm for the sex, I'll update you when I go for scan by month end cos I haven't gone after the last one I did in which we could not get the sex... How are you too and LO.... But it seems I might port to August o.

Good to hear from you mama, been a while you commented or posted.. My thoughts were with you this morning and I was even thinking of the correct way of spelling your moniker.. Its nice to know you are fine..

OLESCO:


Thank u mummy

FutureFocus:


Massive 65” smart Tv for 150k? That’s enough red flag for me, this is not nice.

I guess it's a blue flag for the guy who bought it and confirmed he is genuine.. The guy who d the 65'' TV for 150k is different from the one who collected people's money

pafo:


Actually he did. 65" smart Tv for 150k amd PS4 slim 1tb for 130k. Fear grip me at those prices small.

The guy you quoted was the one who posted those things at those prices not the scammer...

sugarcoatted:


Wow, you and your family really went through a lot. Thank God it all ended in praise.

We thank God..

mzMerci:
Hi mama. Please I beg of you, be very very careful with agbo for babies. I’m an healthcare worker and I’ve seen terribly sad effects of agbo on babies especially when forcefed. Weldone mama

Thanks ma, she's not forcefed but we'll be careful..

MorningStar233:


Hmmmm, I just can't stand seeing this young man in pain, his stomach was making small small noise, and he was crying..me self tire.

Get him the Infacol.. I've heard it works and I pray it works on him

sugarcoatted:


Its not a theory, its jst to reduce the risk of complications. The whole induction thing is a 50/50 something. Its better elective cs than emergency when/if induction fails. Based on experience, i personally will pick elective cs anytime over induction. I had a choice when i had my baby and if i had chosen otherwise, i may have been living in regrets by now.

Looking back, I also thank God I'm not living in regrets by now after my baby's heartbeat almost stopped after 6hrs of being induced which landed us in an emergency that brought her out lifeless and landed her on oxygen for days if not for God's intervention.. Imagine using this kind of oxygen tank on a newborn after exhausting plenty small ones..
I'm grateful Lord, I'm soo grateful

MorningStar233:

Ewooo, teach me the yoruba way oooooo...I'll get the Infacol though..thanks dear

Mama, the yoruba way is agbo oo and you know many modern mums are against it but Ayam not.. Mum Inlaw came with the herb for both stomach and oka (donno if it's fontanelle) and we have been sleeping all through just occasional wakes to suck

Bennytwin:


Yes i agree wt you. Mama pls opt for elective cs. Since labour has refused to start at 41 weeks. I believe is safer. And from some mamas experience here,after being induced,some still end up wt cs. [/b]I think it is better for induction to be done when labour has started,so it augments and helps the labour[b].

@ bolded, I'm an advocate

OLESCO:
Good morning sabiest mamas in the house pls I'm kinda worried and confused it is my first and we all worked together till God answered me.

Pls I am 41weeks and no sign of labor at all though the baby is very active and when I went to hospital 2days ago everyother thing is ókay. I engaged in sqauting some days ago yet nothing. Pls I was ask to come for ission on sunday that's tommorrow if I didn't see any sign yet and I should get this stuffs (pix below)


Mamas and doctors in the house pls what are for? Are the for inducement or what?
I tried researching on them but my mind is nit stable its on the negative side. I am emotionally and phycologically stressed its as if my strength and faith is falling me. I had a very stress/ complication free preg journy no issue at all I believe God didn't bring me this far to put me to shame......It is my first and i know hiw many yrs to took me before God interven pls someone should talk to me. I tried to be strong but I am dieing inside

You should have asked at the hospital what next or better still they should have asked you if you'd like to be induced or you'd opt for elective CS...
I know the catheter is always inserted into the bladder to help with urine age though I've heard and read it can be used for induction as well. the gloves are used for examination, they wear it on their hands before inserting to check if your cervix is dilating. Saline water should be normal drip water if I'm not mistaken
I'll also suggest you should opt for an elective CS.. don't be afraid and stay strong

I appreciate thanks
