.... I took one around Feb, was told I'll take another within a month interval... Did around April.. When I went for antenatal I was asked to take another this month but couldn't bring myself to cos it's somehow close and I want to be sure about the number of times to do so during pregnancy... That means I'll wait till 3rd trimester. Thanks

took the last one at 35weeks , that's this month, and took d second one in March

If fibroid is moving, then it’s a pedunculated type of fibroid meaning it has a stalk which allows it move

AmNuhRegular:
Hi everyone, hope we're all good..

Just wanted to ask, for mums with fibroids.... Do you you feel the fibroid change positions sometimes...

I believe sometimes when the baby moves, it pushes the fibroid... Cuz sometimes I notice it is in a different position from time to time

Suggestions on what to use to clear the old ones? I’m not sure anything works apart from laser treatment

So I will jejely carry my 'load' like that na . The only thing I noticed though is that they're a bit lighter, like blending with my skin colour at the moment but definitely still there.

well me i didnt sit on any warm salt dettol water n i healed fast n d place even feel tighter , wen i did dis wit my first, i suffered from severe skin fungi infection around my thigh not far frm my vj, so i avoided it dis time around cs my midwife said i dnt nid to do dt cs my body will heal by itsef, didnt tk antibiotics too n guess wat? I healedup within a week n my belly too is bk to normal... N no stomach pouch is in sight... We just dey suffer ourselves 4 naija with yamayama trad... I c it as punishment.

Walahi, I'm so looking forward to having this baby here(relocated this yr). Telling my midwife about my previous deliveries without epidural the woman was just shocked, also those afterbirth hot water pressing and the likes are definitely not for me again but I will just try to keep drinking hot stuff. What did u take after birth? Any herbs?

kokaiye:
Ah yes its true, it can cause early labour reason y i avoided it but i suffer d consequence when wn my boy arrived cs milk refused to come out 4 5days... It wasnt lik dt wit my first bcs i do clean everyday n milk came out d day i gave birth to him but trust me everytime i clean my nipple i alwz hv dis bracxton kicks contractn.

this is it,if you clean few weeks to Delivery,milk will end up not coming out that day ,can even extend to few days..

Cleaning suppose start 2nd trimester sef..

I know it causes braxton hicks buh I doubt it will lead to labour

LUGBE:
As i stated, shear butter and coconut oil does so many functions when in use in the nipple, one of such is cleaning of the nipples and making the nipples visible because in some women they cant see their nipples. Nipple cleaning can be done at any time. If you choise to do yours after delivery or in the delivery room is uour choice but i am the one that stated coconut oil is used for cleaning nipples. That it stimulates uterine contractions in your system does not mean it does so that another mother. What affects you must not affect others and what works for you must not work for others.

I do use blue seal Vaseline for cleaning mine

AmNuhRegular:
Good morning everyone..

Please my questions are a lot I know, bear with me

Amen... I am hoping to take the last dose by June ending but if the need arises to take again after then. I will!! I just hope it won't be too much as in overdose.

Do you press your boobs when you clean? I’m asking because you said you see the colostrum when you clean

No. It comes only from the nipple.

Hamzashaf99:
We all have different body types. This is my third baby and I don't have a single stretch marks on my tummy, and I've never used any oil or cream on it, not even once. Infact I don't use body cream once I'm pregnant coz it smells to me. But I've had black ones on my bum since secondary school days.

What I'm saying is know your body and treat it accordingly. If you start having stretch marks, Shea butter, coconut oil are some of the best options I know, but if your body is the type that will have it, it will still continue.

Love yourself like that. You are already a super woman for growing a full human for nine months.

I love this... Oro shunukun
Self love is the koko

Sassy256:

Didn't know about Shea butter or coconut with my first, but even all the bio-oil I was buying then, I still had stretch marks.;Second time around, I used blue seal throughout and no new ones came out, this one too no new stretch marks but the old ones from my first are still visible and nothing seems to help it
Any suggestions?

Sadly no. I'm still beari

TiffanyJ:

I dont think fibroid moves o
Mine is located on the right wall of my uterus and there is no way it should move........what type of fibroid do u have pls

Lol.. a fibroid can move o.. it’s called a pedunculated fibroid. It has a stalk which allows it to move from right to left or up and down. There are different types of fibroid

Gave birth on Wednesday morning by 11am.
First EDD 22/05/2022, Second EDD 04/06/2022
DOB 25/05/22
God gave me a bouncing Baby girl...scan said otherwise.
I was induced at 40 weeks and 1 day. Dr said is it's to avert complications for us due to always having trace of sugar in my urine
Baby came weighing 3.6kg, vaginal delivery with 3rd degree tear.
First time mum, I just want to say "Thank you Jesus"
BS coming soon

IamGreen1:



I still don't know the reason we believe pressing tummy with hot water after delivery flatten the tummy o. I still don't know the magic behind it. Come and see over flat tummy even after 2 babies and an angel in 3 years without touching my tummy with hot water because I bluntly refused to let anyone touch me with hot water when I'd my first child then so nobody mentioned it to my hearing at subsequent deliveries. I just move on with my live jeje as if nothing happened. Eat well, breastfeed as every demand and enough rest did the magic for me.

True words. Without pressing , the uterus will return to it's normal position .

My August teamies,
We're waltzing into third trimester like this ooo.
Starryv you're there already, mama waistbead, how is u? Our silent teamies sure you're all doing great.

My dear sweet Cappo. No be small thing o. I've cat-walked into my 3rd trimester like this ooo. Yet the incessant hunger i've been suffering from my 1st trimester has refused to leave me It is well. This my 3rd trimester came with a mixture of excitement and fear, maybe because hubby isn't close. God help my fears. Really don't know what to expect.

I have taken only the first doze of the TT injection o. Wondering why my hospital is not saying anything about it. Hope it's not late sha.

Hamzashaf99:

I think 35 weeks old be safe enough for daily cleaning in this case.

I clean like once a week and I see the colostrum whenever I do so. I just hate the pains that comes with the contractions after doing that.

Nawa o! And they told us at antenatal to start cleaning the nipple from 28weeks. Clean twice daily with cotton wool n warm water.

Exactly,anything that works for you is fine. I think maybe if you start earlier your system might get used to it especially if you are the type wey body no dey sweet in any slightest thing pls my mothers let me leave it at this point.

i took nothing my sister not even antibiotics was given to me

Thanks be to God, I got discharged and I’m back home with my son still baking in my womb. Decided to go to work today since I was bored to stupor already, only for my MD to tell me that he’s not sure I’ll be re employed after my 3 months maternity leave cos he has employed someone to stand in for me during my absence. It just felt like cold water was poured all over my body. It really spoilt my day. I was actively trying to conceive for 9 months. I’ve had 2 myomectomies, 61 fibroids removed, 2 HSGs and one sono. We were preparing to start artificial reproduction processes when God stepped in. I literally saw hell and now my job is literally gone cos I’m procreating. Thanks be to God for everything. His plans for me are of good and not of evil. My bundle of joy is more than enough for me
