★★How To Speed Up Early Labour★★

You are anxious to meet your baby! Excitement sets in when you enter labour! Luckily, there are many things you can do to speed up labour.

1. Get up and walk around:
- Walking can help the baby shift in the uterus, causing it to descend towards the pubic bone. This sends a signal to your body that the baby is ready to be born, which may trigger labour to progress.
- Walking up and down stairs can be especially helpful to shift a baby in the right position for birth.

2. Shift around when you're lying down:
Even if you're too tired to be walking up and down the stairs, you can move around in bed to help the baby reposition.
- Shift from your back to your side, for example, and then switch it up again a few minutes later.
- Staying in the same position will not help the baby move to speed up labour.
-Going from a sitting to standing position can be helpful.
-Try to get out of bed a few times an hour.
-Walk around the room a bit before lying back down.
-Try lying on your left side as this increases blood flow to the baby and may improve pain.

3. Get on all fours:
Your back will feel better, and you'll help the baby rotate into the face-down position he or she needs to take to come out.
-Get on the floor and gently hold yourself up on your hands and knees.
-Kneel on a pillow if that's more comfortable.

Note:
However, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor before you try this or any other unusual stretches or movements. You want to make sure such motions are safe for your specific pregnancy.

The need to identify TRUE LABOUR and FALSE LABOUR

There are 2 kinds of contractions i.e true labour contractions and false labour contractions (also known as Braxton-Hicks contractions). Generally, contractions are usually felt in the lower middle abdomen and occasionally, they are felt as low back pain as well.

================
Difference between True Labour and False Labour

TRUE LABOUR:
- Contractions occur at regular intervals.
- Contraction intensity and discomfort gradually increases.
- Intervals between contractions gradually decrease.
- Discomfort occurs in the lower back and abdomen.
- Increased vaginal discharge or bloody show.
- Contractions cause cervical dilation.
- Contractions do not stop with rest, hydration, or medication.

FALSE LABOUR:
- Contractions occur at irregular intervals.
- Contraction intensity and discomfort remain unchanged.
- Intervals between contractions remain long.
- Discomfort is mainly in the lower abdomen, or no discomfort other than tightening.
- No accompanying bloody show.
- The cervix does not dilate.
- Discomfort from contractions is relieved by rest and medication.

HOW TO DRY UP BREASTMILK!

There are a few usual reasons you may be looking to dry up your breast milk i.e stop milk supply which !ight include:

1. Weaning quickly for personal reasons
2. Starting work after 3-6 months of breastfeeding
2. Thinking you had finished breastfeeding, but wake a few days later with very full breasts
3. The baby died during pregnancy or at term

METHODS:
★Wear a firm or sport bra 24/7 to support your breasts and keep you comfortable.

★Use breast pads to soak up any leaking milk.

★Cold cabbage leaves worn inside the bra can also be soothing and help dry up milk

★Relieve pain and swelling by putting cold/gel packs in your bra, or use cold compresses after a shower or bath.

★Taking peppermint tea also helps in reducing milk supply.

★Drink sage tea: Sage contains a natural estrogen that is reputed to dry up your milk supply.

★Handle your breasts very gently as they can bruise easily.

★Avoid pumping and nipple stimulation, only express enough to make you comfortable.

★Mild painkiller medications may help relieve pain like ibuprofen 400 mg

★Drink when you are thirsty. Cutting down fluids will not help reduce your milk supply.

★For the first few days you may be uncomfortable lying in bed because your breasts are so full, so try lying on your back or on one side with an extra pillow supporting your breasts.

★If you like to lie on your front, place a pillow under your hips and stomach to ease the pressure on your breasts.

★Place a soft towel or cloth nappy across your breasts to soak up any leaking milk.

NOTE:
★DO NOT DRY YOUR BREASTMILK WHILE PREGNANT★

★★★WAYS OF CLEANING A BABY'S TONGUE!!

Most babies cry a lot when you try cleaning their mouth/tongue which makes it difficult to perform this simple but yet important task because the baby won’t want you to put anything pass her mouth if it’s not her bottle or nipple.

After feeding the baby for a while either with formula or breastmilk, there will always be a white residue on the tongue of the baby and most times when you bring your mouth close to the baby’s mouth, you can perceive the smell of the white particles which accumulated through feeding.

If the tongue is not cleaned on regular basis, the risk of infection and diseases by germs and bacteria increases, leading to gum and dental issues.

Different methods of cleaning a baby’s tongue vary significantly according to the age of babies.

You can use either Water or Glycerin:

For Water Method:
★Before cleaning the tongue of child, make sure your hands are clean.
★Prepare warm water in a bowl.
★Cradle the child in one arm and clean the mouth by second hand. In this way, the child will feel the sense of security and affection.
★Put the finger over lips of baby for opening the mouth.
★Now take a small manageable piece of gauze piece and wrap it around the finger.
★Moisten the gauze in warm water.
★Gently put your finger inside your baby's mouth. ★Wipe the upper and then the lower gum pad once.
★Baby tongue cleaners can also be used instead of a gauze, which are specially designed finger cloth available in most drugstores.

For Glycerin Method:
Glycerin is another way to clean a baby’s tongue when water does not work. Please, it is not the glycerin used as body moisturizer oh.
★If you need to buy it, let the pharmacist know the purpose of what you want to use it for.
★The one for cleaning the baby’s tongue is warm on the mouth and sweetened.
★The process for using it is the same process with that of water mentioned above but make sure you use it sparingly.
★A tiny drop is enough to clean a baby’s tongue thoroughly.
★Please avoid over-using it.

★★★TONGUE TIE IN NEWBORN★★★

The medical term for the condition known as tongue-tie is “ankyloglossia. Tongue-tie is congenital (present at birth) and hereditary (often more that one family member has the condition). It results when the frenulum is too short and tight, causing the movement of the tongue to be restricted.

Of more immediate importance is the negative impact a tight frenulum can have on a baby’s ability to breastfeed effectively.

In order to extract milk from the breast, the baby needs to move his tongue forward to cup the nipple and areola, drawing it back in his mouth and pressing the tissue against the roof of his mouth.

The tongue plays an important role in breastfeeding, and if the baby’s frenulum is so short that his tongue can’t extend over the lower gum, he may end up compressing the breast tissue between his gums while he nurses, which can cause nipple soreness, crack or damage, plugged ducts, and mastitis.

In most cases, it recedes on its own during the first year, and causes no problems with feeding or speech development.

But severe tongue-tie can cause problems with speech. Certain sounds are difficult to make if the tongue can’t move freely (especially ‘th’, ‘s’, ‘d’, ‘l’, and ‘t’). In addition to forming specific sounds, tongue-tie may also make it hard for a child to lick an ice cream cone, stick out his tongue, play a wind instrument.

HOW TO DETECT IF YOUR BABY HAS TONGUE-TIE

To tell if your baby is tongue-tied, wash your hand very well, try putting your finger in his mouth (pad side up) until he starts sucking. See if his tongue extends over his gum line to cup the bottom of your finger. If not, you may want to have him checked. It sometimes has special implications for the breastfed baby.

SIMPLE METHOD TO CORRECT TONGUE-TIE

If it is determined that tongue-tie is causing breastfeeding difficulties, there is a simple procedure called a “frenetomy” that can quickly correct the problem.

The doctor or midwife simply clips the frenulum to loosen it and allow the tongue full range of motion. It takes less than a second, and because the frenulum contains almost no blood, there is usually only a drop or two of blood.

The baby is put on the breast immediately following the procedure, and the bleeding stops almost instantly. Anesthesia and stitches are not necessary.

The baby will cry more because he is being restrained for a few seconds than he does because of pain.

HOW OFTEN DO I CHANGE A DIAPER?

==============================

★★REASONS TO CHANGE SOILED DIAPERS INCLUDE:
√Irritation of the skin leading to nappy rash
√Infections especially in baby girls
√Allergies
√Leaking of poo or urine

Newborns under a month need to have at least 4 to 6 wet diapers every day. On the other hand, newborns will likely have diaper change of poo at least three to four times a day, but it's not unusual for parents to change at least 10 soiled or wet diapers daily during the first month.

Newborns are expected to urinate about 20 times a day for the first several months of their lives and it would be tiring and expensive trying to change baby’s diaper every time. Moreover, it is not compulsory to wake a baby to change a wet diaper as it's just urine.

===========
HELPFUL Tips:
=======================
★Wash your hands after changing the diaper. A bottle of hand sanitizer where you change baby's diaper is a great way to do this without having to leave your baby unattended.

★Do not baby powder when you change diaper.

★Fold down the front of the diaper so that it does not rub against the umbilical cord if you are not using the special newborn diapers.

★Give baby something to hold as he/she gets older to help distract them from interfering with the process.

★When changing little boys, it is best to use some sort of “shield” to protect your baby from accidentally 'spraying' your face or mouth.

★Be patient. Many times babies can sense fear and will follow your lead.

★★Don’t worry. It will get easier. You will be an expert in no time.

=======================
How many diapers a day does a baby use is a kind of question that will have varied answers. Factors such as the frequency of feeding, what is being fed, etc. will determine how many times your baby pee or poop.

WHY CAN'T WE GIVE WATER TO A BREASTFEEDING BABY BEFORE 6 MONTHS, EVEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT?

Water is the greatest barrier to exclusive breastfeeding.

1) Giving water to young babies puts them at risk of diarrhoea and malnutrition.
2) Water may not be clean and cause the baby to have infections.
3) Giving water may also cause the baby to drink less breastmilk
4) It can cause baby to stop breastfeeding early and therefore cause malnutrition.
5) If mothers give water instead of breastfeeding it will also cause the mother to have less milk in the future.

Breast milk is more than 80% water, especially the first milk that comes with each feed. Therefore, whenever the mother feels her baby is thirsty she can breastfeed him or her.
This will satisfy the bay’s thirst, and continue to protect the baby from infections, and help the baby to continue to grow well.

★★Babies do not need water before they are 6 months old, even in a hot climate. This is one of the reasons that WHO recommends for children to be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life★★

A child is considered exclusively breastfed when he or she receives only breast milk, without any additional food or liquid, even water.

★★With the exception of oral rehydration solution, drops, syrups of vitamins, minerals or medicines which might be prescribed or necessary sometimes★★

When breastfeeding, the mother gives her baby all the water he or she needs, while providing “safe water” and protecting the baby against diarrhoea.

★FRUITS TO AVOID DURING BREASTFEEDING THAT WILL SHOCK YOU★

Did you know that there are fruits to avoid while breastfeeding?If you are a fruit lover, read this:

Common fruits to avoid while breastfeeding!

★Citrus Fruits like:
Lime
Kiwi fruits
Tangerine
Strawberries
Pineapples
Oranges
Grapes
Cherries
Prunes

Citrus fruits add a sharp strong flavor to your breast milk. Some babies might object to the taste of it, and get fussy while consuming it. Other babies may vomit. Sometimes, your baby may also develop diaper rashes as a result of the citrus content in breast milk. Citrus fruits contain many acidic compounds and can lead to irritation of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) in children.

It is quite common for newborn babies to suffer from gas due to their newly developing digestive system.

Also avoid the following foods which can also lead to gastrointestinal problems and may also trigger allergies in babies:
√Caffeine and Chocolate, Alcohol
√Eggs, Soy, Fish
√Peanuts, Garlic, Wheat

★★SIMPLE METHODS TO GET FLAT TUMMY AFTER CHILD BIRTH★★

It's only natural to want to jump straight back to your pre-pregnancy shape. But you need to give yourself a break because your body just made a baby, and it will need time to recover and get back in shape.

If you've had a normal vaginal delivery you should wait until after your 6-week checkup to begin your journey to flat tummy.
If you've had a C-Section, you should wait 8 weeks but you should get a clearance from your doctor before embarking on any form of exercise.

★BUT HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE WAYS INTO GETTING YOUR SHAPE BACK★

√Breastfeed your baby, breastfeeding can improve your weight loss.
√Drink hot water and lemon.
√Try a day going gluten-free or dairy-free.
√Replace your usual snack with pineapple. Pineapple has bromelain that can assist in digestion by breaking down proteins in the stomach.
√Keep an eye on your sodium intake.
√Eat slowly.
√Stop chewing gum.
√Stay away from fizzy drinks.
√Eat more fibre.
√Keep an eye on portion sizes i.e eat small portion of food at a time.
√Eat your three square meals, don't skip meals especially breakfast.
√Snack more on nuts and fruits especially pineapple
√Avoid anything alcohol
√Drink peppermint tea
√Skip desserts because it's full of sugar and sweeteners
√Practice kegel exercices
Rest

★★OBSTETRICS EMERGENCY DURING PREGNANCY★★

An obstetric emergency may arise when a woman is pregnant, or during her delivery. In this case, extra care is needed.

A woman may need a lot of tests and treatments, and extended hospital stays during this period because she may face a premature birth or the loss of her baby. If you think you or your unborn baby are at risk, call your doctor or go to the hospital immediately.

If you experience any of the following obstetrics emergency symptoms, call your doctor or go to the hospital immediately. Don’t wait until your next prenatal visit.

√Less movement by the baby:
In the late third trimester, a baby may be distressed if it moves fewer than 10 times in two hours.

√Vaginal bleeding:
Abnormal vagina bleeding. Brown, white or pink vaginal discharge is normal during pregnancy. But bright red blood or large blood clots are not normal.

√Leaking amniotic fluid.
When waters break, they may gush or trickle. You can tell amniotic fluid (which looks a lot like urine) by its slightly sweet smell.

√Severe abdominal pain:
Stomach or lower back pain can be signs of pre-eclampsia or an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy.

√Convulsions/fits

√Severe headaches with blurred vision

√Fever and too weak to get out of bed:
Fever which may indicate infection.

√Fast or difficult breathing.

Pregnancy is a normal and natural process. Most women do not experience emergencies during pregnancies, but any woman could.

★★WHAT TO DO TO MAKE BREASTMILK FLOW AFTER DELIVERY★★

To make breastmilk flow after delivery is a simple task from pregnancy. Start taking care of your breast by cleaning gently with cotton cloth or towel.

★FOR MORE FLOW OF BREASTMILK★

-Put your baby up to your breast by using your nipple to “tickle” her mouth until she opens up wide, then insert your breast up to your areola. Repeat until you have a good latch.

-Continue breastfeeding

-Pump your breastmilk after nursing, it helps milk production

-Eat oatmeal, a bowl of oats in the morning means full breasts at night

-Switch sides by making sure baby nurse on both breast

-Wear the right size of bra, wrong bra can compress your breasts and causes issues with milk flow

- Do not offer any form of feeding like infant formula, agbo, drugs or water

-Make sure you’re getting plenty of protein (which keeps you full and your blood sugar levels stable), good fats (butter, avocado, eggs, fresh vegetables, nuts and seeds.

-Take more warm beverages, tea, milk, soups

-Use hot compress to massage the back of your neck

-Drink warm water early in the morning.

★★★YOUR BABY'S MOVEMENT DURING PREGNANCY: What's Normal?

I've heard concerns about baby's movement from pregnant moms-to-be about baby not moving nearly as much as normal or baby was moving far too much.

What is considered “normal” for a baby’s movement during pregnancy varies widely as each pregnancy is unique, so are the baby’s movements. Try not to compare this pregnancy to previous ones or that of your coworker or your friend.

★QUICKENING★ I love this word...
'Quickening' describes the feeling of the first movement of baby's between 16-22 weeks of pregnancy. It feels like little tender butterflies randomly fluttering their wings inside your womb (uterus). But If you are not feeling the baby move every day by 24 weeks notify your doctor or midwife.

★MOVEMENT COUNTS★

After 28 weeks, your baby should have 6 distinct movement an hour once a day and NOT need to move 6 times EVERY hour, BUT should have one active hour each day.

Reasons baby stops moving which could be an early sign that he is in distress:

√The baby may be tangled in the cord
√You may have too little amniotic fluid.

These complications can be very serious.

★★★Please, if you haven’t felt your baby moving normally, then drink some fruit juice and rest on your left side for an hour and pay close attention to his activity. If you do not get 6 distinct movements or kicks over that hour, call your doctor or go to the hospital right away.

Baby’s movement can depend on a couple of factors such as:

★Location of the placenta.
When the placenta is attached to the front of the uterus, it essentially creates a pillow between her and the baby. This makes it more difficult to feel the movements regularly.

★The mother's weight.
This can also affect perception of movement if you are overweight and have extra fat in the belly, you may not feel the movements as distinctly or could barely feel any movements throughout pregnancy.

★★Again, having one active hour a day or night is what is important. It doesn’t need to be the same hour each day★★

Same here o I don't even want to get to my EDD sef I am tired and won't mind induction o undecided undecided undecided Just that I am scared of a failed induction that will lead to emergency cs. I guess you can start your exercise now.

Mama's please when can I start taking pineapple and zobo to induce labour? I am 35 weeks already...

You can start eating dates now to soften your cervix and make it dilate faster. You can also do your squats and
Then by 37-38 weeks when you're term you can start taking the pineapples by then hopefully your cervix will be ready to cooperate.
