plz where can I buy it?

You can buy it in pharmacy or you ask around in your hospital.

My edd mate @ omoloulah I sight you mama. It's been a while you posted here. How are you and yours? Have you delivered? Pls come in and say hi so that we know how you are doing. Just checking on you ma, no homo.

For the umbilical cord care, the current trend is to use chlorhexidine gel in cleaning the cord. The gel is an antiseptic that can help to keep most bacteria on check. Research has found and proved it to be more effective than spirit if used appropriately and it is recommended by WHO. That's what my current hospital where I registered for antenatal uses.

Congrats to Whyterose our latest mama and others who have birthed. May God bless and keep your bundles of joy.

Congrats bulunton on the birth of your baby. God bless and keep him.

Congrats to jazzyjazz and other mamas that have given birth. God bless your bundles of joy.

Present team captain @ itissettled3 and amen to the prayers. Waddling is ok just that I feel tired most of the time but still manage to do most of the house chores myself. Appetite has decreased compared to second trimester but I still force myself to eat no matter how small. For kpekusing, my libido is on the high side and the ministry is moving. Lo is kicking so hard and more frequently these days but my doctor said everything is ok. in all, I thank God for thus far he has lead us and trust him to see us through to the end.

My EDD mate @ omoloulah I sight you. Just keep being positive and take it one day at a time. We will not be pregnant forever. February is around the corner if you ask me. The Lord is your strength dearie.

Other Feb mamas and every other mama I hail o. May God make it easy for us all.
congrats Queen1 on the birth of your lo. May God bless and keep him.
Jazzyjazz it will surely end in praises for you. Just work closely with your doctor.
#teamfebruaryforspecialbabies#

mydeporch congrats once again on the birth of your baby and thank God for your testimony. Wish you quick recovery.

Happy Wedding Anniversary BellaElla. May God continue to bless and keep your home.

Coldfeet:
@Amjane yours seem to be a case of lose of appetite lucky you.

Hers is psychological and needs psychiatric help but she doesn't think so.

I agree with you ma. She is suffering from anorexia nervosa and she needs help. You people should continue to encourage her to eat no matter how small for her sake and that of her unborn baby. She can also see a psychiatrist for help. Unfortunately, they don't always believe that they need help.
The thing is, she has gotten used to it and it will take her a while to readjust if she is willing. So you people should not be too hard on her. Just gradually help her to overcome this.

XX01:
@AmJane,

It's what i have been doing since i gave birth. Large enough portions and then i eat it very slowly but ensure i finish everything. Could only eat breakfast and dinner because i would be too full to eat lunch. Then i also have fruits around me so i munch on it for lunch. Since i left the hospital, it has become worse. There is nobody to monitor my feeding so i can't be bothered to eat. When i found myself lying that i had eaten when i hadn't eaten since 20hrs, that was when i knew that i needed help.

Now, i have people monitoring my eating habits and ensuring that i eat something. The smell of food turns me off. Makes me want to throw up. Just 2 spoons of rice and i feel like i have eaten 3 main meals but i have to force myself. No one warned me of this part. I have never experienced it before.

The Lord is your strength ma. Just continue forcing yourself to eat so that baby can have something to feed on.
It is well.

Coldfeet:
Hi mama are you anorexic? How do you manage it with Pregnancy? Did it start before you got pregnant or when you got pregnant?
Someone close to me is at the risk of losing her baby or having her deformed due to her refusal to eat

My dear that aspect has not been easy. I would say it has been there even before I got married. For me, I am naturally not a foodie and easily loose interest at the site of food. If I eventually eat, it will just be a small portion and I will be feeling very heavy. For me, the appetite is not just there and with pregnancy its always worse especially during the first trimester.
During my previous pregnancy, It was there throughout. I was feeding once or at most twice a day with just little portions of food. I added only 4kg throughout that pregnancy and my baby came out at full term weighing 2.5kg only but very strong. It didn't affect her in any other way. You wouldn't believe that it was her after two months of birth because she was so big and active and she still is.
The anorexia was even worse when I gave birth. I was so happy that food is always the last thing on my mind. My DH and my Mom complained and got tired. But I made sure that I took a balanced nutrition no matter how small it is.

Fast forward to this pregnancy. After the severe morning sickness I had during the first trimester, I made up my mind that this one must be different. What I do:
1) I eat fruits very often and you know they help to stimulate appetite.
2) I eat out sometimes, something I am not used to before.
3) I take my prenatals every single day.
4) I always dish out bigger portions of food and eat them slowly until I make sure that all is finished.
5) Sometimes I eat small meals at frequent intervals.
6) I make sure that I satisfy my cravings so far as they are healthy.
7) I listen to my body and have some rest if it says so and thankfully I run a business and have trusted people that work for me now. so more time for myself....
So far, I have added 11kg in this pregnancy which is an improvement compared to my previous pregnancy.
My advice to her: She should try several methods and see what works best for her. She should also work closely with her health care team and possibly see a nutritionist and/or a psychiatrist( as the case may be) if it's severe. She should also have people that will help her out with cooking because some people find it difficult to eat what they prepare by themselves. Sorry for the long post.
I hope this helps.

Present team captain @ itissettled3. Thanks for the roll call and amen to the prayers. You are doing a good work dear. God bless you.
We are 29weeks plus and doing great. Some of the first trimester symptoms are gradually coming back. I practically force myself to eat these days due to anorexia, always weak and feeling nauseous. But in all, I bless the name of the Lord for the journey so far. We are gradually moving to the permanent site and we will all carry our bundles of joy alive and healthy. EDD is 19 Feb and gender is xy.
Other feb mamas I hail you all.
TeamFeb for lovely babies.
