Sweetlady4real accept my condolences, ask questions let them explain to you in detail what went wrong.
I hope someone is with you in the hospital? Sorry dear God got you.


Sugah it's usually an antibacterial soap which is for those who will take a shower nothing different from the regular antiseptic liquids(dettol) we add to water before bathing.


Mitchyy sorry for your discomfort I will also echo other mamas that you stop the spirit use, antiseptic diluted is better just swipe the length of the scar one way and discard, use another cotton wool for the other way as well, do not go back and forth.

I had a tummy fold so I also used a hand dryer set on cool to air dry my site and lay on my back for exposure a whole lot. Reduce any sort of pressure on your belly by not sitting for long, don't carry anything heavier than your baby. Try and have a doctor check you out! You can walk into any hospital and tell them your scar is opened up rather than waiting till you get back to Lagos.

Also take vitamin C it's great for tissue repair .

Sorry Teamie @ Sweetlady4real
Godknows why he allows certain things come our way. Amidst our troubles and sorrows, he never abandons us. He always makes a way for us to be able to endure them successfully. Cry when you can. ..you will be fine.
*E-hugs* ....

My teamie @ sweetlady4real, when thins like this happen, honestly words fail me , such an innocent soul , all I can say is "it is well" only God can console you my dear, be strong for your princess and hubby.

@ Fabmum, Abacha just won't be Abacha without Potash or Not but if push comes to shove then maybe I'll give it a try.

@ Liftedhands, thanks for the detailed explanation, you're right that's one expensive experiment for anyone to try. Pineapple affects me because it makes me bleed extra or bleed heavy during AF. I once had debris in the Uterus, a friend suggested Pineapple during AF so that the debris will go with it, the bleeding no be here oh even bled an extra day but after that, the debris seen on scan was gone.

Make I dey gather knowledge abeg, I kent come and get a much awaited belle and a small wrong move spoils it for me.

Deleted.

@sweetlady4real PLEASE TAKE HEART - so sorry

@Mspat and @sweetlady4real may God console You for your loses.

Liftedhands:
Wow didn't even see that part! Mitchyy please discontinue the spirit asap! It's usually cotton wool soaked in diluted savlon or dettol! Spirit is too harsh to use on a wound. Thanks helovesme for pointing this out.

When I saw the spirit part I almost screamed. I can just imagine the pain she's been going through applying it on the incision.

mitchyy:


Its what i was told at the hospital o. I even asked some ladies who have done a CS and they said yes, i'm supposed to clean with cotton wool and spirit.

I tire. And using spirit on it hurts like crazy. I don tire sef

Pele dear.

It's wrong to use spirit on any stitch - CS or not. Spirit is harsh and does not in anyway aid recovery.

Go to any hospital and have it checked out.

In addition take lots of fruits or vitamin C supplements (you can get 1000mg one a day tablets but make sure you lead the label/packaging to confirm if it's safe to use whilst breastfeeding).

Vitamin C really helps with healing.

sweetlady4real, I am so sorry. The Lord is your strength. Thank God you are well and have a happy family who love you. So sorry.

zimunachimdi:
good evening sabi mamas,pls i have few questions to ask.

1.what is the effect of a nursing mother malaria to the child?
2.what malaria med is best for a nursing mother?
3.is there any effect of the med to the child?

4. i think i have an active baby who plays more than he sleeps
4b.what is the minimum hours sleep for a baby of 2months?.

1. Please see a doctor to prescribe the right drug to treat your malaria.

Make sure you ask him (very important) if the drug is safe to use whilst breastfeeding.

I ALWAYS ask this question before I use any drug and on a few occasions, my doctor whipped out a medical handbook to double check to see if the drug is absorbed into breast milk and what effect it might have on a baby. Better to be safe than sorry.

2. Same answer as question 1

3. Same answer as question 1

4. If your baby is 2 months old, it's too early to conclude he's "active". At this age, their eye sight is improving, same with their hearing so they are very conscious of their environment. Besides a 2 months baby doesn't "play". All he does is lie on his back and look around or "wave" his hands and legs.

How's the environment where he spends most of his day? Noisy? Quiet? Do you feed on demand? How's his feeding? A well fed baby will sleep well after each feed and during the day, in a quiet environment, this can be up to 4 hours.

What about the cot or bed or bouncer you place him on? Are you sure it's comfortable for him? Do you over warp him? Is the room airy? If he's too warm or uncomfortable, he will be cranky, restless and he won't sleep much.

4b. At 2 months, a baby should be getting a decent amount of sleep. I remember my son could sleep from say 8am after having his bath and fed full till about 12noon/1pm.

Please prevent yourself and baby from
Malaria. Yes, it's very possible if you are proactive.

AlphaHandMaiden:



Interesting... i guess the brand matters as with mine i have even forgotten the solution in the container for about 3 days before washing and not had any slipperyness. The smell at first was a bit strong for me as you get a kinda chlorinated (faint swimming pool ) smell.

I also use the vital baby aquaint sanitiser water on the go and around the house and that has the same smell.

I guess my nose has just gotten chlorine blind...

I doubt if I can get used to the smell. It kinda lingers on for long and although it's claimed the smell and sterilising tabs/liquids do not harm babies, I refuse to believe jare. The smell just comes off as acid to me.

Really @ bolded? So you sprinkle sanitiser water around your house? And here I was thinking I'm going rather overboard by washing all my baby's clothes with professional antibacterial detergent.

Please do not tell me you are one of those mums that passes hand sanitisers to visitors or anyone before the touch or carry their babies

He he he he.

In the early days, i had a very conspicious gorodom of hand sanitiser in the parlour. The thing be like lightbhouse beacon. So i didnt need to say anything. You sef as you see am you go use your church mind jejely go the collect your dosage. But after about 8 weeks? Most people just washed their hands and that was fine.


Sprinkle ke? Na holy water? Hian!!! Who's got time for that ? I use it to spray her teethers and toys that i cant really wash every now and then. I also take a bit when we are out doors as she keeps throwing her teethers on the floor.

Sad.So sorry Sweetlady4real 4 ur loss, its really hard but God will comfort u n family. Try find out wat went wrong.Hugs.

Sorry too mama Mitchyy. Spirit is one harsh substance especially 4 incisions, I will advice u visit a hospital dere in Warri for a check,dey won't send u back because its not were u had d cs.

Congrats PresVa, its ds type of testimony am waiting 4 ryt now, honestly u are ryt dt ds pregnancy brings open doors cos its working 4 me too. I key into ur testimony dt I will get a jab despite ds condition. I knw God will do it. Had been so worried.

sweetlady4real so sorry for your loss..God knows best.. pls take heart

Mspat and sweetlady4real may God console you and replace your losses with double in Jesus name

sweetlady4real, sorry for your loss. May God console you and your family.

Dear God, we don't want to hear bad news anymore. We rebuke the spirit of death in Jesus name. Amen

I finally read up the pages I missed. The pile is gone, thank God. Acne is gradually decorating my fine girl no pimple face and I recently noticed my skin tone is darker. I'm not worried anyway as I know I won't be pregnant forever so no point obsessing over my looks as this is just a phase. I just reached my pre pregnancy weight last weekend at 22 weeks. 5 glorious months, a bump and big navel to show for it.

By the way my twins have started practicing gymnastics in my tight stomach. They take turns to kick me, sometimes I just exclaim YEE! when I feel a sudden kick. My presenting twin kicks during the day and the other one kicks at night (na the papa that one go resemble ). I've been craving super hot and spicy foods, had to look for scarce atarodo here to cook stew. See me 'downing' rice and hot stew, DH couldn't believe how spicy it was. He was just saying pele and he was happy I could even have a craving

Mspat and sweetlady4real, sorry about your losses. May God comfort you

I've read good reviews about avent steriliser so I'll go for it.
Team December mamas, as we gradually approach the end of the second trimester, if you haven't started shopping, now is the time to start or plan to start as God provides. You can start buying the little things, that way you'll ease yourself of the stress of waddling with a big bump to shop much later. God will supply all our needs. Let's learn from the ladies that delivered before their EDD. It's better to be prepared, that way you can save costs instead of buying things at the last minute at exorbitant prices.

Enque your bump is very cute.

Joyfulmoda, good to see your comment here. Pls update with gender and EDD.

AwesomeGodiav how are you holding up?

Mitchyy, if it doesn't feel or look right, pls don't hesitate to head to a nearby hospital to get yourself checked out.

Pls lets all be more prayerful at this time, we need prayers now more than ever before because the enemy is not glad as we are progressing peacefully in this journey.

Suzy my dear Suzy, I'm glad to see you are no longer worried. Just go with the LMP of 21st of March which puts your EDD at 26th of December as you stated earlier. Don't worry if subsequent scans give a different date. That's what you usually get when you have multiple scans. Keep cool
