MumZ:
My birth story:
All through dis preg, I had serious abdominal pains, sometimes I cldnt stand straight up. Lo wasn't has active as my oda children bt I just put it 2 d fact dat it was an anterior placenta. I kept praying 4 everything go so smoothly wit all d conflicting scans nd I wanted him 2 come b4 my edd cos I was eating nyhow.
Started my leave on d 1st nd I started my long walks. Kept having painful contractions bt nothing ffwld. Last week Wednesday my hubby packaged me 2 my mum's place after I had false Labour @ night. My hospital is close 2 my parents house. Still yet nothing. Just kept having on n off painful contractions.
Went back home on satdy wit d intention of coming back on Monday 4 antenatal. My children were already @ my parents 4 hols. All dis while, I noticed weneva I ate a big meal @ night, lo ll not move @tall till d next mrn bt if I don't, I feel flutters all night. So I concluded he was 2 comfortable. On satdy, hubby took me 2 d mkt after I got home, I stressed myself cooking soup n stew, making poundo yam bt dint participate in d eating. Lo was moving truout d night. At 2am started having serious abdominal pains, so I concluded it was hunger. Took 2 pieces of fish n a cup of milk. Hubby woke up later, hand started roaming nd I just went aheaded cos it's been a while I even gave him face.
After dat, I cldnt sleep, was having serious abdominal pains. I managed till past 6, woke hubby up nd told him I'm having tummy pain. Immediately saw d fear in his eyes. He likes 2 aviod all d labour part, his own is call me wen u give birth. Timing my pains it was 3mins apart. We got 2 d hospital @ past 7, sent him 2 get my stuff from mumsy place nd I cld c he wanted 2 b nywhere else bt dat hospital. After going tru n fro about 3 times, he finally made his escape home. I was checked nd I was told 2cm. In my mind I was like wit all dis pains. Bt @ least it wasn't false Labour. Started doing my breathing technique, tried moving about 2 speed up labour like d last time bt my leg was heavy. Contractions was painful bt d timing was not consistent. Apart 4rm d contractions, abdominal pain was still part of d package. Got checked at 10.30 or so n d doc told me we were progressing. Cos d timing was not consistent, I was not encouraged. Doc just said we shld wait 4 my water 2 break. My legs were heavy so I just sat down trying not 2 cry. Less dan 15mins later I felt a strong pain, I jumped up n shouted 4 d nurse. She came, took me 2 d labour room n I told her I want 2 push. She said no, it was d membrane, cald d doc on phone, she ran in. Meanwhile I was trying not 2 push bt I cldnt hold it. My water broke, my leg got weak n I was told 2 push wit d next contraction. I dint really av d strenght 2 do d Hollywood pushing I always do, bt my lo slipped out wit d little push I gave. I think my water breaking was more painful dan wen my lo slipped out. He had already pooped. Was injected 2 control d bleeding. Gave birth exatcly 11am 2 d glory of God.
Sorry 4 all d long epistle, won't b doing ny typing 4 a long time. Vigilante mode activated. Tank u.

Congratulations dear.Abeg all this mamas wey dey always apologise for writing long post about their BS, muna stop it mbok. You sincerely dunno how beneficial your "long post " is to me and other first timers like me wey no sabi chikom abt labour.

Florena:
be reminded!

Ok.
Space booked. Will be back to modify.

Modified.
Breastmilk is very important because it contains all a newborn needs.
The colostrum which is usually the first to squirt out is usually thick and yellow. It contains a lot of antibodies that give the baby protection for the first 6months of life when the baby can start making it's own antibodies. It's like your baby's first vaccine.
Breastmilk also contains antibodies but not as concentrated as the colostrum. Usually all the antibodies the mother has ever produced is passed to the baby. It contains about a 100 ingredients that aren't found in cows milk and cannot be exactly duplicated.
Breastmilk also contains the right amount of nutrient to support optimum growth in babies. It is made specifically from a mother's diet meaning you are already introducing your diet to the child even before he begins to eat. Also as the baby grows, the milk composition changes to accommodate the baby's needs.
It is cost effective. No need for bottles, sterilizer or formula.
It promotes bonding between mother and child
It is ready-made. No advance planning, always available and just at the right temperature.
It is hygienic. A breast fed baby rarely had diarrhea since breast milk contains antibodies that destroy diarrhea causing microbes. Their bowel movement are less likely to cause diaper rash too. There is no risk of contamination or spoilage.
It is also more digestible, you will hardly ever find a constipated breast fed baby.
Virtually no baby is allergic to breastmilk although they can have allergic reactions to some food in the mother's diet.
The suction of milk from the breast requires a lot of effort and encourages the optimum development of jaws, teeth and palate.
Some say it decreases a woman's risk of having breast cancer (not proven )

The Bottle/ Formula.
It doesn't tie the mother down. She can work or sleep through the night.
It doesn't affect your diet. You can eat whatever you want.
It allows daddy to share some responsibilities.
It is a life saver. When mommy doesn't make milk in the first few days, when she is sick or dead, baby has to make do with formula.

Most moms already know which they would opt for.
You choose the one most convenient for you and you don't feel guilty. A happy mommy is a happy baby.

Complementary feeding starts from 6months although some say 4 months or when the baby reaches some milestones like sitting up or holding head up.
Usually by 6 months the baby's need begins to exceed what breastmilk can provide. The baby also begins to produce her own antibodies which will be stronger than the ones passed on to her from you.
Formula feeders simply upgrade to the next level. And spend more cos at this age they swallow milk like something else.
The common challenge is introducing other food to a baby. I have found out that from like 3 -4 months, spoon feeding your baby with milk/ formula like twice in a day makes the transition easier. It makes them recognise the spoon and be more open to it later.
At 6 months, your baby can eat almost all you eat but not honey, some seafood and for some meat.
To start with you need to puree the food. Pureed rice/spaghetti and milk, pureed potatoes and fish etc.
Whatever you eat, puree it and feed baby. Abeg no go puree Eba o. You can make very watery amala and ewedu and fish. Watch the sodium they ingest via salt and Maggie and don't be tempted to add sugar to their meals. You can begin to feed mashed food from like 8 months. Mashed food are thicker than pureed food.
Because you don't want to die at the stove, cereals are life savers for in between meals. You can choose to feed your baby with store bought cereals or make yours.
All na the same thing. Don't feed with golden morn abeg.
By 1, your baby should be able to eat all that you eat until they molars come out, they can't grind food so you may want to cut their food into tiny sizes and avoid hard food (like peanuts and carrot) to avoid choking.
If they must eat it, you might want to blend it to paste.

Florena, quote this to put it on the last page.

All I put up is to the best of my knowledge.

Congrats to mamas that has put to bed and smooth and easy delivery to our waddling mamas.

Just thought of sharing this, pls we should be careful with plastic chair especially when feeding our little ones. I had a terrible experience with plastic chair when my baby was just 5wks old.
I woke up at abt 2am to breast feed my baby, I sat on the plastic chair as usual doing my thing and started dozzing off. The next thing I heard, gbam! I landed on the floor hit my head on the tiles. My baby flew out of my hands and also hit her face on the tiles . I was just shouting my baby my baby cos I couldn't lift myself off the floor . Thank God my hubby was around to help carry our dota and also lift my from the floor .
What would have happen if my dota hit her soft head on tile?
I have learnt my lesson not to be too comfortable on plastic chairs, even if I must use it, I must make sure its resting on the wall.
