Hi everyone, hope we're all good..

Just wanted to ask, for mums with fibroids.... Do you you feel the fibroid change positions sometimes...

I believe sometimes when the baby moves, it pushes the fibroid... Cuz sometimes I notice it is in a different position from time to time

I was pressed with hot water over two weeks and I don't know why the bleeding stopped so quick. As for the belly wrinkles, none of the women in my family experienced it, maybe that's why I didn't too.

Modified:
I just remembered that at ATG (ask the gynecologist) group on Facebook, the doctors says pressing is not needed and that no need for hot water drinking or pressing too. They say the uterus will go back to its normal size as long as you do EBF. There have been so much debates over it.

Modified again:
I have hormonal imbalance, maybe that's the reason the bleeding stopped early? I don't know.

I read that too on ATG. I'm thinking it could be body differences because after bleeding stops I usually don't menstrate until I wean my babies.

I like the warm cloth pressing, maybe because it helps me sleep well and makes my body feel so relaxed. grin grin grin but that sitting on steam is not easy sad

I learned we should run away from that steam o. Instead do a sitz bath with just warm water mixed with salt and dettol/purit. It makes episiotomy heals fast while steam aggravates it.

Birth Alert!!!

I gave birth to my handsome Prince on 20th May at exactly 8:20pm through vagina delivery with plenty of tears weighing 2.9kg after about more than 12 hours of labor.
May the God of perfection who has done it for me and other mamas surely deliver our remaining mothers in prefect conditions.
BTW, my labour was rigorous and painful as hell maybe because it was my first time therefore, I'll be dropping my BS much later.
Congratulations. May God bless and keep the baby So so happy for you
I remember when you announced your BFP and all.May God remember all the others in waiting room including myself.
Today being Children's day,I prophecy into my life that I shall sing my song and dance my dance too very soon as God liveth.
AMEN

Mamas with their belly just shooting out, just respect yourself and buy coconut oil (walk into any baby shop and buy it) and start using lavishly on your tommy and breast to avoid stretch mark.
I am 9months preggy and ders no single stretch on my belly. Only on my bumbum (black strong annoying ones) and that's because I didn't rub oil on it cry


Good morning Mama... Pls, how many times did you take antimalarial drugs?

Is it 3stages or 4?

Stretch marks does not cause the wrinkling. When your belly is overstretched by 2 or more pregnancies and you exercise to lose the belly fat, they'll be wrinkling though not everyone experience it.

Bleeding stopping 4 days post delivery is not good (I stand to be corrected though). They say the bad blood needs to be expelled and that's why the belly is pressed with hot water. I blend for 6 weeks after VD of my first. Second was via CS and I bled for about 2 weeks.

As for strecth marks, some people say shea butter works. I haven't had it on my belly before just black ones on my back that clears by itself after pregnancy.
. Exactly, i didnt ve stretchmark wit my first n i have just little tiny once down below my belly now but not much, i am very sure i am gonna ve more wen i get pregnant with my third... It is skin n ut stretches, so its ment to ve stretchmark... Boiling water isn't d cost... If it is boiling water all my body shld ve being screaming of stretchmark cs i shower wit hot water everyday.

Cleaning of nipples should be in the last few weeks of pregnancy. It can stimulate uterine contractions, that's why it's one of the ways to induce labor.

I personally avoid it because my last two babies and this one, any type causes serious contractions for me till I'm ready for baby to come.
Ah yes its true, it can cause early labour reason y i avoided it but i suffer d consequence when wn my boy arrived cs milk refused to come out 4 5days... It wasnt lik dt wit my first bcs i do clean everyday n milk came out d day i gave birth to him but trust me everytime i clean my nipple i alwz hv dis bracxton kicks contractn.

We all have different body types. This is my third baby and I don't have a single stretch marks on my tummy, and I've never used any oil or cream on it, not even once. Infact I don't use body cream once I'm pregnant coz it smells to me. But I've had black ones on my bum since secondary school days.

What I'm saying is know your body and treat it accordingly. If you start having stretch marks, Shea butter, coconut oil are some of the best options I know, but if your body is the type that will have it, it will still continue.

Love yourself like that. You are already a super woman for growing a full human for nine months.

I think 35 weeks old be safe enough for daily cleaning in this case.

I clean like once a week and I see the colostrum whenever I do so. I just hate the pains that comes with the contractions after doing that.

cheesy.... I took one around Feb, was told I'll take another within a month interval... Did around April.. When I went for antenatal I was asked to take another this month but couldn't bring myself to cos it's somehow close and I want to be sure about the number of times to do so during pregnancy... That means I'll wait till 3rd trimester. Thanks

As i stated, shear butter and coconut oil does so many functions when in use in the nipple, one of such is cleaning of the nipples and making the nipples visible because in some women they cant see their nipples. Nipple cleaning can be done at any time. If you choise to do yours after delivery or in the delivery room is uour choice but i am the one that stated coconut oil is used for cleaning nipples. That it stimulates uterine contractions in your system does not mean it does so that another mother. What affects you must not affect others and what works for you must not work for others.

Good morning everyone..

Please my questions are a lot I know, bear with me grin

I also want to know at what time did you take Tetanus vaccine during pregnancy..
. The private hospital I registered with never mentioned it until I went to the general hospital yesterday where they prescribed it for me.


Also, does anyone really have a list of baby items to buy.. If so, could you share it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Best is to just know what works for you.
Personally, my nipple cleaning is always at birth cos the pain I hv in my nipples throughout pregnancy is not easy.
