How will a hospital say mothers shouldn't use spirit to clean the baby's navel? Hmmmmm

My hospital insisted on moko spirit and we were told over and over again to clean baby's navel every 2hours to avoid infection! In fact I had to be setting alarm on my phone so I can remember to clean my son's navel every 2hours. The day I forgot, I felt like a bad mother

Abeg na spirit dem de use o. Na it de dry the navel quick.

Chrisdada16:

present Ma just like yesterday wen we annonced our bfp den complain of morning sickness now one month to go. baba God thank u. we were told not To use water or spirit for baby navel but instead use one gel like dat

Only 45k and you Don de shout? My sister you never start o! I and dh spent about 200k for baby's items (hospital list inclusive) and we would have spent more! But our friends gave us lots of baby clothes and diapers, wipes and detergents as gifts. Car seat and stroller no follow for the 200k o because we never buy am yet

Just prepare yourself. But spend within your means.

kemifemi:


Present ma. Went for scan today. Baby's umbilical cord in between the legs. So, sex is unknown o.

I went shopping last month. Spent 45k already and it looks like i haven't even started.sighs!

Pls our mamas that conceived through ivf,did you birth vaginally? My doctor says he doesnt want to take risks o, so na c.section things. Am so scared. I hear say pain after c.section no be child's play.

Abeg make una follow put mouth for my matter o.biko

God, You made all things good and perfect. You give life to all things. We thank You, that we have conceived by Your grace and mercy. The baby(ies) in our womb is Your creation,  thank You for Your precious gift.

Cover us, the baby(ies) in our womb and our family members with the holy and precious blood of Jesus.

Protect us, our baby(ies) and our family members from all evil and dangers because You are our refuge and our fortress. Preserve us from danger and from the excessive pains accompanying childbirth that we may deliver without pain like the Hebrew women, and shield the child which we now carry, that it may see the light of day‎. This child belongs to you, O Lord - mind, body and soul.‎ Take away all complications from our baby(ies) and us. Grant us good health. Lord I also pray that You lead all pregnant women who are reading this prayer to safe and normal delivery. All this we ask in the name of Jesus, who is Lord of Life, now and forever. Amen!

Hmmmm, but my husband wan change my mood ooo, I'll try and stay positive though. he informed me that my mother in law wanna come few days after and before delivery. We've agreed my mom is coming to stay with me for a month. Now we stay in a two bedroom apartment, we had to buy an extra bed to add to the one we have in the other room.
My mum and mother in law are neither friends nor enemies, my mum is older than her far far, she's been rude to my mum so my family have given her space.
Truth be told I am not her fan either, she didn't even congratulate me when I got pregnant not to talk of calling to check on my health during the past 8month plus.
Anyways am hoping my mum will manage her like that for the few days she wanna stay. just that it will be somehow.

Abeg ooo, I need constructive ideas on how to go about this. Safe delivery to us all

Portable ma'am, just inform ur mum ahead of time that ur mil is also coming o. U can't refuse her from coming na. U and ur mum shd try as much as possible to forget about d past and as much as possible overlook anything she does, just for peace to reign. After all she's not staying long

abeg sabi mamas that had their baby through c section make una help me o, this is 2 weeks 3 days post-op, and I have this terrible pain on my right side just above the incision site, the pain area is a bit hard when I use my fingers to feel it, i feel the pain more when I want to stand from a sitting position and it's nt like that on my left side, incision site is no longer painful and I still do the dressing in fact everyday nw instead of every other day.
pls is this pain normal? nxt check up will be on Wednesday or should I go to d hospital before then? ppl are saying it's d site healing from inside, bt my concern is why the pain is just on one side.

As advised, inform ur mim ahead that MIL would also be coming. I pray there won't be clashes btw them coz even most chummy inlaws usually do have clashes when it comes to both coming around at the same for Omugwo. u need to be careful and diplomatic too so that ur MIL coming won't cause problems btw u& hubby coz men could b funny when it comes to their mothers.
God bless u and urs

Hi hi

Mummyejire:


Sorry mama about your toothache,do you have unadulterated coconut oil,put two spoonful on the side of the mouth where the pain is hold it for 5-10mins,then swoosh it around in your mouth and throw it away rep like 3times in a day.

Secondly get M and B capsule make in into powder and fill the whole with the powder morning and night. Both method worked for me as I do not need to uproot the tooth,and since then no toothache. It was a hand down method from my mum. But the issue is I don't know how save the M and B capsule will be in pregnancy,but the coconut oil thingy is safe.

Congratulations to all January mama that has put to bed.
Supernatural birth to all February mama.
@zaynie trust you are doing great....regards to your kids.

firsttymum:
Hi hi

Are you testing the mic or is this insomnia?
Or you are booking space?

How u dey? Bobo nko? And baby?
Take care of you....

Both in the house at a time? Wow! Try convince your hubby to let your mom come first then mil can come after 2weeks. Na wa o! How could mil not have called to inquire about your health for 8months? that's quite shocking. And my mil was telling me not to be angry with her calls cos she calls at least 3times a week.

#teammarchforsupernaturaldelivery#

present oo at acting cappo. Am nt really bothered at edd stuff what i no is baby will come wen God want it to come. my problem is high bp. it ws discovered last week. nd my dr said i shud be aving enough rest bt d funniest tin is i no dey work oo i wonder hw i got high bp oo. i no dey eat salt again. anybody with suggestion on hw to reduce bp shud pls advice ooo no jump nd pass abeg.

My people most of our active mamas have ported to newborn thread making this thread abit boring and people's ranting don't get as much comment. Pls mamas I know viligante is real but most of us gets our vibe and quench boredom from this thread pls don't leave us high and dry oh.

Pls I want to rant small my mum called my DH and told him to take pen and paper and write down 3names for my lo and go and pray about it and choose one. The reason behind the 1st name got me very upset. The meaning of the name is (it's only God I can plan with) she now went further to explain the reason for the name, that she doesn't have parents to plan with and she can't even plan with her husband or children she gave birth to because of their ways so it's only God she can plan with. My DH just told her God already gave us a name for the baby that we won't even ask for a name from his dad.

My younger sis told me she is said the child will be dedicated in her church because is her first grandchild and she will use the child to shaakara for some specific people . Baby is not a toy they buy from market so will not allow that rubbish from her and I see this her desire as a spite on my DH. My mum is just weird can't just understand her she is never wrong but her children and husband are always wrong. Just don't know her to manage her to avoid offense but as it is offense will come.

hmmmmm

We are doing our best to keep the thread alive even with vigilante

As for your mother, hmmmm I don't know what to say.
Our ds is the first grandchild of both families and Dh and I named our ds without anyone's input and we are dedictating him In our church.
I hear in some families the grandparents of the baby names the baby so I don't really have anything to contribute On this. But then again, your dh and you can just let her name this one while you guys name the rest.


I get that your mum wants to use your child to do "shakara" but if it's too spite a certain person or certain people then it's wrong and you should respectfully tell her you don't like it.

Other sabi mamas will chook mouth

@bolaalimat

You have a good attitude towards babys coming which is gd.

To your post, please can you let us know how far gone you are so one can be in a better position to respond?

Truth is high bp in pregnancy is not gd more often than not it leads to pre-eclampsia which is not good for mother and baby (my intention is not to scare you, just saying)

I would suggest you see the docs asap, let them monitor you as they can n also not risk anything, if baby is ok to come out then they probably should bring him out so that both you and your baby would be here.

My BIL gf had pre-eclampsia this happened after her preg had gone over 2 weeks. She wanted a home birth but eventually had a CS. Her own story for another day.

Please head to hosp if in doubt

Much love x
