oriste: Hello mother's in the house being a nursing mother is not a joke the vigil is something else and again my LO does not get full with my breast milk what do you think I should do

Let the child keep sucking till breast feeding is well established, increase your fluid intake .Motherhood no be beans at all, God is your strength.

I am newly pregnant. Food is my major problem. What can I eat to help. I had to be hospitalized because of excessive vomiting. They told me to try dry foods. It is not working. Please sabi mamas help me with suggestions. Also it is very difficult to drink water as it tastes bitter.

Eyah, doh. . D early stage no be beans o bt with time, you'll be fine. My LO is 4 months now and sleeps tru d night
How do you know ur LO isn't filled?? In my opinion, having a poop daily with about 5 wet diapers shows baby is getting enough- baby should also be adding weight.
See a paediatric doctor for advice.


Thanks tchiwinnie and lovinam for the advice. Sitting at home no b am o.. just that I'd have preferred her to do business like myself bt d husband isn't financially ready for it. I feel d job might overstress her..

Chiangel1, u r already there. A little more patience. .May God make it easy for you. B4 d tsunami, donatee validated EPO, smokey drinky used pineapple while som Mamas kpekused and it worked for them. I tried d EPO, ate some pineapple, kpekused and did lots of exercise bt none worked so LO will com wen ready. I'd suggest you enjoy your me-alone time while it lasts.. I ended up being induced sha

Congrats
Experienced mamas should answer u soon. U can try chewing gum for the bitter taste. U can also try drinking cold water. It's well.

thanks so much vickilafab! i might try d pineapple o. have heard a lot of good stuff about it. thanks everyone... why is the forum so dry?

Thanks vikilafab. I was chewing orbit then I hated it. I will try the cold water.

@ my testimony, Hmmnnn! I went thru what made me almost got tired of even being pregnant. I could only eat from morning till 2pm and anything taken after that time MUST be vomited. I grew lean and weak that I couldn't go to work anymore. My spit a day will full two 75cl water bottle. And vomiting isn't making food stay. I was on iced block/very cold water all thru. Then I called my doctor to tell him I don't think I can continue with this my state cos I'm always vomiting and I feel very hungry but I couldn't eat. then he asked me to try avomine if I will be lucky to have it work for me. I sent for it that same night and to the glory of God,i ve not vomited since den and I now eat very well. Talk to ur doctor to check if u can use it sha o and pray it will work cos wen I Googled it,some pregnant women said it didn't work for them. I'm now 15weeks gone

@Beedam its not easy weldone. The doctor gave me something for the vomiting. It is working. Tho last night I still felt a bit nauseous. It makes me sleepy though. The thing is the days are just so slow. Ha ha ha. Its my first after ttc for close to 4 years. I thank God sha. So ice cold water wont affect the baby?

@ mytestimony, I pray we all carry to term in Jesus name. During my first trimester, I couldn't help but take the cold water o nt minding what effect it had on me nor the baby cos that's the only saviour I had den. To my amazement, one evening as I woke up and felt thirsty and I just carried my bottle from the freezer as usual,i opened it and put my mouth to drink and it tasted like paracetamol. Since then,i ve nt been able to drink water from the fridge let alone the one in the freezer. This is my first too and the days seems to be going very slow though I'm feeling better by the day. What stage are you now?

@Beedam I am just 7 weeks gone o. D day I clocked 6 weeks symptoms kicked in in full swing. For the whole week I was down. God will help us carry to term. It is his desire. What foods did u manage to eat.

Ice cold water doesn't affect the baby. It's what I drank truout pregnancy and my LO is doing great

Twin mama,happy belated birthday to u. Sorry it's coming late.

Beedam & my testimony, congrats on ur bfps,may God make it easy for u & may u both have a healthy & stress free journey. Kpele it's all part of the package.

All the mamas, una dooh

@ mytestimony, food I managed to eat? Hmmnnn! A great question. For breakfast,its rice and stew(pepper+vegetableoil+maggi+ salt) and lunch is amala and ewedu( just ewedu only). Later, crayfish was added to the rice stew. And lunch graduated to eba and okro( ila alasepo + crayfish). I was on that for like 2weeks and then graduated to yam and veg.oil and lunch changed to eba + okro+ stew+ titus fish. For like seven weeks,my life evolve round this food till 14th week that I stopped vomiting. I ve included,moinmoin, yam and egg,beans and plantain, amala and gbegiri, little turkey and chicken, apple.

@vikilafab u re welcome. she cld just start wt teaching and save up no matter ow small for business later.
@mytestimony and Beedam pele. its a phase dat ll pass. try to b thankfl always. cold water doesnt affect ur lo.
@Oritse ur body produces enuf milk dat can breastfeed even twins exclusively. most tyms its just effort on our part. my lo smtyms even feeds every hr. rmbr dat BM s easy to digest and their stomach s still small. thats y u need to feed freq. follo Beev's advice.
@Chiangel, abeg relax o. ur lo ll soon show face. u re almost there

@ mytestimony, when I was 7weeks, it was as if I was the only pregnant lady in the world cos all things changed. I kept a calender beside me and the only thing I do is count days and browse abt early stage pregnancy. It wasn't easy cos my hubby isn't even around so no one to share the pain with. I took in immediately after my wedding and the morning sickness started before I could resume back to work. Pregnancy changes one alot,infact I had to cut my hair wen headache became my best friend. During the most difficult time, I ran to this forum cos I ve been a silent follower . I read alot and I had more knowledge abt first trimester and my seniors encouraged me that it will soon be over and now I'm better and I mean better. So just hang on and try your best with your drugs and eat the little you can. Before you know it, you are encouraging someone as I'm doing right now. Congratulations once again and I believe God won't fail us. @ All the mamas in the house, thanks so much for the contributions u ve all made to this thread to make it a book great job you are all doing here. I'm grateful

I will try the ewedu. Any food with oil irritates me. Cant wait to pass this stage and eat all I want
Please is it safe to take ice cream? I usually have the ice cream mix nd I do the addition to milk myself. Just that I am craving ice cream but I need what is good for the baby not me

I don't know whether to say I'm jealous of u.. at least u can eat something... I can't eat anything. I crave for certain food but when its placed in front of me I won't be able to eat it. my sense of smell is so high that I bet I can smell someones skin. I have a maid and the girl makes food for me while I stay in d room to avoid the smell. when its done, she allows it cool down before bringing it. but immediately she opens the door.... that's the end of the appetite.

@Bestie101 I thought it was only me. I stayed in the house while my sister cooked and ended up in the hospital as I was vomiting non stop. Once she is cooking I leave the house because no matter how I lock I perceive it in my room.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes and amen to the prayers. Welcome to the thread newbies and may God grant u a stress free pregnancy. This weather can make somebody commit o, lol Enjoy the rest of the day mamas.

I chew ice cubes in place of water, eat crackers, dry meat and fish, sour tasting wine and fruits, pepper soup helps me a lot too.
