missmishel: @jade willians, thank u. i need to prepare myselv very well o. they'r so expensive, but i'll go for one of them. Some peopl say once a mother do not breastfeed for two days, the breast milk becoe sore and not gud for the baby again. how true is that? due to the nature of my job, if i resume, i'll travel for like four days. cant travel with my baby. so when i return, i cant bosomfeed my baby again?

My dear,d paadiatrician said there's no how milk whch is naturaly produced&stored in a livin body can soar. Frm my experience,ther was a tym my baby stopped breastfeedin for abt a wk+ but my hubby was adamant on bf til a year so I forced her 2resume whch sh did.D 1st 2days,sh wil suck&stool immediately (a little watery) so ppl told me I gav her soared milk.it went on for 2/3 days til it stopped afta givin her flagym.I'l advice dat mayb wen u com back frm ur trip;express d milk out then tak plenty of fluids &allow fresh milk 2form.My opinion though.If don't knw if anyone has a betta opinion

2 TYPES OF ABORTION.

According to the American Heritage
Dictionary, "an abortion is the procedure of
termination of pregnancy and expulsion of a
fetus or an embryo that is incapable of
survival. Abortion is known to be any of
these procedures that results in the
termination and expulsion. Although this
seems to be very insufficient statement for
abortion but if we think morally, legally or
politically then this topic is quite volatile.

Definition of abortion also includes the
terms such as miscarriage or spontaneous
abortion along with the normal induced
abortion.
When the body of a women rejects
the fetus or embryo due to any reason, it is
known as spontaneous abortion. Mother
does not have any control over this
accidental process. Reason behind
spontaneous abortion depends on the
factor when does miscarriage occurs. In most
of the cases, spontaneous abortion
happens due to abnormalities of an embryo
in the first two weeks of pregnancy. It there is
a problem in the mothers body due to
emotional difficulties, uterine or cervical
irregularities, endocrine system disease,
diabetes mellitus or hypothyroidism; then
spontaneous abortion may occur in the
second or third trimesters.

In some cases,embryo is not recognized by the immune
system of the mother and expels it considering it to be a foreign tissue.
The percentage of miscarriage is only found to be
in 20% of the cases.

Induced abortion is known as the most
common definition of abortion. It is done
with the will of the woman who wants
abortion.

Although there may be multitude
of reasons for induced abortion but mainly it
is of two types.

Therapeutic abortion is not considered to
be the primary definition of abortion but is
very prominent in such cases and is
conducted for various medical reasons.
Usually such type of therapeutic abortion is
underdone when the doctor diagnose that
pregnancy or birth could result in danger to
the life of the patient. This may be done to
avoid risk for physical or mental health.

Elective abortion is an abortion which is
conducted on a woman due to her own
personal reasons. Many reasons may be
behind the decision of a woman such as,
religious concerns, cultural concerns,
immaturity and financial problems. Some
women choose elective abortion if they are
not married or are young and do not want to
disclose this to their family. Pregnancy is also
terminated by victims of sexual abuse or
assault.

Surgical and chemical are the two basic
types of induced abortion procedures.
Stage of gestation is the factor to decide the
surgical procedure. Hysterotomy, Intact
Dilation and Extraction, Dilation and
Evacuation, Dilation and Curettage, Electric
Vacuum Aspiration and Manual Vacuum
Aspiration are the basic procedures for
surgical abortion.

Due to the administration of abortifacient drugs Chemical abortions are done by early induction of labor.

HEALTH IS WEALTH

Hi everyone, I have a question, it's about my niece, she's 11 weeks old, on a normal day, she poops like once or twice, but for the past five days she has been in pooping about 7 or 8 times everyday, my sister has been giving her oralyte(sp?) to keep her from getting dehydrated,but she's getting worried cos its going on for too long. I don't know whether this has anything to do with it but it started the day she went for her last immunization,

5days is quit much. Hope the baby isnt weak? stooling can sap one's strenght! I'v heard some immunizatn for sine babies can cause reactns lik rashes but not heard of stooling. When my baby reactd to a food once, he poopd upto 6tims and the nxt day doctor prescribd ors and Zinc(10mg). He barely took d ors but I disolvd d zinc in water nd he tuk it, d stooling stoped.

You can take her to see d pead or google about the zinc for babies to know more. So sory, pray she gets beter pretty soon.

hi all, kudos to u all. My love to ur Lo and Dh. I need ur advice. I was a banker till i gave birth last yr to my twin boys, motherhood forced to resign...mmhh i no easy. Fast forward to now, am searching for job, but since am based in onitsha my chances are limited. De only available job is teaching and de pay is too poor b/w 17-20k. So should i take up dis modern day slavery for de sake of having time for my kids or should i start a buisness of my own? Mind u, i need child friendly answers. My first daughter is only 2yrs 4mths. Cioa

have u tryd taking her to the doctor? or even a nurse nearby? as for me, i ll suggest u give flagyl. 2.5mls/3 times daily is okay for her till d poop subsides. u could take for 2 days and see. it does not stop d oralyte and breastfeed very well.

Jade William:
Oh! Ok.I knw nutriben.Heinz product I think.Its vry good&really makes children add weight.Mayb her stature is genetic cos frm al u mentioned,u'r doin tremendously well.u'r doin enuf dear.don't beat urself up.I use milo.add 2 spoons of milo&a spoon of milk in2 60mls.try it.sh might lik it.Sh'l b weighty.Don't giv up.Motherhood is d hardest job in d world

honey86:
when you travel, Jhou could take your breast pump along so that when you get back it will still be ok. My sister used similac. Her baby loved it and its very good. The girl is going to be 3 by October but she behaves like a 5 year old. she has a customer then that do sell to her at wholesale price so she got it cheaper. As for ne I believe its better to spend money on feeding than expensive baby clothes because the food they eat now is the foundation for their future.

Thanks Sis, i'll chose between aptamil and similac. since am planing to stop breast feeding, i need to give my baby the best food no mater the cost.

Wow! Beloved, I feel your pain, we realy do! So sory about what you'r experiencing. My prayer is that you get well soon. Pls as much as U can worry less ok? It will be difficult to take Ur mind off thnkn abt hw ur babies are faring, wishing U can be there for them at every call, but in showing concern dont be anxious. Avoid getting your emotions to the extreems....too exited or too angry! Have you been able to get help? Its not easy for us with single babies so I can imagin wat it must be like for U.

I dont knw abt the fever aspect oh, mayb U ask your Doc. I did EBF for six mnths, even witout water. Doc said I can stil brestfeed evn wen I hav high fever and was on antibiotics. The docs can tell beter.

You can listen to cool music to help you relax and get your mind off things.
My husband use to say 'must you do all today? cant some be left for later?'lol. Pls leav those chores, items that could be left and take som 15mins nap wen U get a chance.
Thirdly, I can excus myself from a visitor after few mins to rest, I dont care!!! expecially if its one that has come for no positv reason, and at a tim wen I could get rest!


Dearie, you'r always in my prayers!

Hi all!.. I just stumbled on this thread, and will like to join you guys. I am a mum of two kids (boys) age 19 months and 2 months. Being a mum is a very wonderful experience though sometimes you just want to ram your head through the nearest wall. It would be nice to learn from other mummy's here especially those with children under 2 years how they are able handle their home front, and would also love to contribute in any way I can.
Thanks.

Wow! realy tight but solvable. By 'modern day slavery' do U mean doing nothing or the teaching? I would say the pay is very poor for the teaching knwing you may be considering paying a nanny or day care center. Hav you tried business befor and are you confident in laying your hands on it? Business can be more flexibl than teaching. Another question is; do you think starting the biz would yield more than 20k monthly now?

You may start the teaching for a few months(am thinking they close by 2-4) while trying your hands on a business to be sure of what to venture in. When certain and steady, you could stabilize in it, quit teaching and may get someone trustworthy to be there in the evenings or anytime when you go attend to home and kids. I hear they say business is a risk.

Good luck in whatever you decide. Big hug to you kids!
