whyworryPH:

Welcome teamie. Both fruits are not advised in pregnancy especially if you yet to understand how your body works.
Actually, pineapple helps in dilating the cervix which could lead to miscarriage in early pregnancy. That's why some mothers in their last weeks of pregnancy are encouraged to take it to help in bringing on labour.

For orange, I read that you shouldn't take more than one a day to meet your daily requirement when pregnant. If your prenatal already has it, then there might be no need for it.
Pawpaw is also among the fruits to avoid in early pregnancy.
In conclusion, body differs. My Co wife ate all fruits and she did not have any issues with her pregnancy and delivery. Another person might toe her footstep and get a different result.
As a FTM, you might want to only eat these fruits in little portion.
Do provide us with your EDD so as to be added to the team list.

now I'm confused, I'm a pineapple freak, I do buy full ones from my aboki like twice a week and eat alone; D then other days I buy chopped ones of 50-100 naira, I guess I will reduce it and switch to banana and cucumber, thanks.

BlessedDiva:


Welcome on board teamie, pineapple just like mama WhyworryPh explained should be avoided me I avoid it like plague because it makes me do number 2 very well b4 I got pregnant as in purge me so I'm scared of going close.
As for oranges, I take sour ones very well o because I love sour things now and it reduces constipation, it doesn't purge me like pineapple, I just go normally and I haven't experienced any problem at all but you can limit it to once a day as WhyworryPh advised, body differs.
Have a healthy and stress-free pregnancy journey dear.

thanks, I love pineapple alot �, guess I will reduce my intake

Please mum in the house. Please I have been experiencing this serious pains in my right hand side. At night I found out difficult to sleep. Very painful. Even in day time. I can't do things with it. Very dried as if there is no blood there. Please advice me on what to do. I have gone to hospital doc said is water retention. Me I don't understand this Kai one. I found it difficult to sleep at night. Please Has anybody experience Such before. Thanks

If its ur wrist, use bandage to support it overnight.

If he is on exclusive breastfeeding don't worry,if not try giving him warm water first thing in the morning,and up his water intake too.

@Strongwoman333 please mama I don't think your MIL should be doing that on your baby,won't she feel pain,discomfort and cry. EBF can stay as long as 10-14 days without pooing I learnt that from mamas here and outside here too.My baby has stayed 12days without pooing,on the 13th day ehen the poo was something else. Just let your baby be. My opinion.

Thanks mama I thought the procedure was harmless that is why I allowed her she dosnt apply everyday she only does it every 2-3days when baby didnt poo and baby dosnt cry whenever she does it just calm I'm not sure she goes deep cos she put a heap of the rob on the cotton but and use it to push in a little and I notice whenever she does it, baby poo almost immediately or at most, after 5_6hrs. I'm not always comfortable though cos I know its cos she is on exclusive. I will tell my hubby to talk to her then to stop cos I may not be able to tell her myself. Thanks

cappo talltosyne, how are u doing?

congrats to our new mamas, God bless ur little one.

To our mothers in the waiting room, God will visit you soon.

Sayyody, I believe you are healing within.

August mamas, how market? God will see us through.

About muscle pull my teamie, avoid stretching your leg while sleeping. that's my secret for now.

Those with carpal tunnel syndrome (wrist pain), Always support your wrist with bandage when going to bed at night, when lifting slightly heavy objects.

According to what I heard, the stuff happened when u r carrying a baby boy, I don't know how true sha. But I experienced it when I was pregnant with my boy then, my two wrists were something else. It came to an extent that I couldn't carry my son when he was like 3 months old. I normally support with bandage when the pain was unbearable.
But, with this preggy, nothing of such.

This issue of pineapple, body differs truly cos I eat pineapple like there is no tomorrow and no side effect. May God help us.

That thing helps baby to poo easily, its either with Mentholatum or vaseline (it lubricates the anus). In fact, some drop warm water in the baby anus and before u know it, the kind of poo that will follow suit will be mighty. Though, that 2-3 days might be too frequent. As long as baby farts, no cause for alarm.

Good day mamas
I am 39 weeks
Has anyone had any success using evening primrose oil? I am ftm

Good day mama please what about cramps in the right hand when I sleep, whenever I wake up it as if there's no blood in my right hand even now the feeling I have on it is still somehow please should I be worried about it or is it cause by pregnancy too?

is it on ur palm? Like it tingling you right? If yes, When I experience that, I increase my blood tonic intake.

But if its ur wrist, I mean feeling pain on ur wrist, just apply heat ointment and support with bandage.

All, its pregnancy induced.

from google:
Many pregnant women feel the pain and numbness of carpal tunnel syndrome later in pregnancy, around the third trimester, but it can crop up as early as the first trimester and it's typically more acute at night. If this describes you, it's because the fluids that accumulate in the lower part of your body during the day are redistributed to your extremities when you lie down (think of it as a kind of reverse gravity). That means more pressure on your nerves and ligaments. If you've been at a computer all day long, it could make the tingly numbness more pronounced when the sun goes down.

I heard/read that it doesn't always work. You can eat native pineapple, exercise, sex, warm bath e.t.c

StrongWoman333:
OK thanks the baby farts and the fart smells so much if she didn't poo for days.

That's good, you guys should let her poo naturally not by stimulating. Talk to hubby he knows how to present it to grandma.

Good morning Mamas, please how do I overcome Anxiety? We clocked 37weeks yesterday and I've been anxious, can't stop thinking about when and how Labour will be.
The thought of how painful I heard it is, scares the hell outta me, Please help a FTM!

I also want to ask how safe it is moving around at 38weeks? DH will be on leave next week and I plan staying 2days with him before going back to my sister's place, I should be on my way to 39weeks then. Please is it safe make person no go born inside public transport.


August Mamas, I hail oo.

Mamas Mbok, make una chook mouth for my matter.

mamatwiny:


Please don't joke with your life. Life has no duplicate.
So they didn't stitch the bursted labia? Please go to hospital for thorough check up. You could go to general hospital or health centre if money is a problem.

at that time,the labia was still swollen and filled with clotted bad blood so it couldn't be stiched.....do you mean the health centre that i do take my baby to for immunization?

FloraEC:

Thank God for sharp sharp recovery. Is well already. Did you birth in a hospital or maternity home?

Mama I think you mean vulva and not labia. The middle thing in between the two labia if yes, I'm not sure it need to be stitched o please ask a Doctor that knows what he is doing. I can't imagine the pain you went and still going through. It is well with you ma I wish you quick recovery please don't joke with your health take good care of yourself.
