CreamyBee:
Thanks Ma for this info.. Am a bit relieved. Please take a look at this picture that's how it looks like in the morning before bathing him...

Yes, similar to this but not sure is this big except it's the closeness of the camera. Also the size of the growth will depend on the cord that was left behind when the remaining dropped. Keep cleaning with spirit and take him to the hospital, it will possibly be cut off like I said

CreamyBee:
please we are together on this one, just that my baby has something like a growth in his navel, dat know if anyone has experienced or heard about such before. Am so worried right now cos my landlady said is a growth and has to be cut off...pls who can explain more about this. Baby is just 7weeks old.

Don't be scared. Take your baby to the hospital and let a pediatrician check. My son had a kind of small pimple-like growth back then ( because the navel didn't remove completely) Doctor offer 2 options, 1. They can tie and it will just drop after a while or 2, just cut off. I chose the latter. It was cut off in less than 1 min and we're good.

So TAKE YOUR BABY TO A PEDIATRICIAN

unex50:
HELLO MUMS...PLS HELP.

MY BABY HAS ORAL THRUST, PLS HAS ANYONE HAD SUCH EXPERIENCE?
WHAT'S THE BEST DRUG USED IN CLEANING BABY MOUTH DAILY.THNKS

Nystatin should be effective i guess. How sure are you its oral thrush and not milk residue. You should start by cleaning with warm water (or glycerin) and wash cloth or cotton wool.

Surulady:
he noticed everything oo even when I complained to him he did not do or say anything about it... thank you I will leave her and face my children

I will advice you let her be and ignore her. Face your children and be happy. Soon nobody will tell her before she leaves and am sure your husband will soon be tired. People like that are only looking for avenue to cause trouble. Looking for a chance to say "you chased her from her brother's house" despite all she's doing for you. Even though she has not been useful to you in any way.

Good Evening Mamas
please treat as urgent
my baby is 8 days old and her umbilical cord just fell off yesterday and since then it has been having little blood at the surface please I want to know if it is normal I feel concerned because it also has a white head inside the belly button . Is it normal please.
please when is it going to close up

I guess the cord didn't fall off Completely. Keep cleaning with spirit and allow a pediatrician check it out. She's too tender to just assume.

estilo:
Please what's anomaly scan?

Its nothing extraordinary from your normal scan, just that more detailed development/how baby is doing as well as measurement of various parts of babies body is taken care of.

SlimBrawnie:
Gallant cappo, pls from what week can one check for baby sex, I thought it was from 18 but I'm hearing 20

Sure you should get to know the sex at 18 weeks but for more accuracy, I think you can wait till your anormaly scan at 20 weeks.

Pweetiebabe:
Cappo I dey o, How is every every

Fine o. God is helping us.

It was quite eventful but at last it was joy at the end.

celebrate with me oo my people

Congratulations, God bless the newborn

tyhgfrdeswscbhf:

This x-ray u may not feel the impact on ur child now but later they will start manifesting .


Even as an adult they advised that u don't do x-ray more than one time in ur life time.

Madam what's up na with this statement?

Rest this matter abeg. Simple matter pelvic not uterus.

She has been advised duely so abeg unto the next matter. Thank you

kokaiye:
b4 nko?! Xray doesnt tk much time na... She shldnt do it

Weldone! Over to the owner of the question. The answer you seek is here.

Bluefin:
The barrier apron reduces the radiation exposure but does not eliminate it. They even make you sign a disclaimer. Note also that the xray apparently has not been a proven solution to the pelvic measurement as most women that do the procedure usually still have a CS.

Bolded source is google.

I only told her i did it with my last pregnancy as prescribed by a consultant Ob/Gyn since she's asking for clarification. Its from my own experience i replied. Not forcing her to go and do it, it her choice and that's why i added the price just so she can weigh her options herself.

So you think if it is totally dangerous to your baby, doctor will still allow people go through it? Am sure that reduced ray baby will be "exposed to" isn't beyond the threshold.

I have someone who was asked to do it, it showed her pelvis was inadequate and at the end of the day labour came before the elective cs date and gave birth thru V.D so what?

kokaiye:
xray?!!! xray scan is bad 4 d baby biko bcs of its high radiatn... Abi able mama help me put mouth oo. . google search ursef 2 confirm.

The ray does not come close to the baby. Its just to measure your pelvic length and width. Hence the name pelvimentry

royaltown:
Hello mamas, was told to undergo an xray pelvimetry so as to know mode of delivery,either VD or CS. please is this necessary and would appreciate if anyone with experience can share how it is done, thanks.

I had it in my last pregnancy. Its no cause for alarm, you will be given a cloth to cover your body ( to prevent rays from entering your body i guess) and you will be given something like a ruler to put in between your thighs. This is where the ray will read your pelvic length if its adequate for VD or not. Doesn't even take up to 5 minutes to get it done. I did it about 10k in 2017.

ahnie:
I learnt 3crowns milk and tin tomato z another super booster.

Tho i have someone who has used sachet tomatoes for boosting blood but she wasn't pregnant.

AwkaetitiBabe:
No I'm not. Simply saw it and thought to try it out. Definitely not getting it again

But why

delaveres:
Good Afternoon mums!
I just finished treating malaria yesterday, though, I’ve been discharged now but still on drugs
I noticed this severe pain just above my stomach. I’m 7 weeks gone and I vomited for the first time today.
Could all these be as a result of the malaria treatment, I know vomiting is normal, but the pain I felt afterwards is my concern.

Pain in your tummy after you have vomited may be as a result of the the force and pressure exerted on the tummy in the process of vomiting. But if its severe pain like you said, you may want to speak with your doctor again about.

Vomiting for the first time today at 7 weeks may just be the induction/welcoming ceremony to the morning sickness club sorry about that

AwkaetitiBabe:
Grasshopper or Locust

Oh i see. With that spice on it... It could be tasty than i imagined

AwkaetitiBabe:
First time trying this. Suya spice sprinkled on fried Locusts.

Isrealites ain't this as their main course meal that year

Are you from Akoko in Ondo State? Cos this looks like grasshoppers people from that side eat

Mummy4life1:
So, I'm the only one experiencing the back pain in second trimester

Do you mean back ache or back pain I still feel back ache once in a while but pain? No, I don't know about that

Blacma:

Garden egg leave your best bet as it has many positive reviews on the pregnancy thread. You should check it out

Got this from Facebook (Ask the pediatrician) This may help someone

#ATGSleeping,

Theme: Sleeping Positions In Pregnancy

#Overview

Pregnancy is a heavy burden, but it is a beautiful burden! If you have a habit of enjoying your sleep in all positions, sorry, I will disappoint you.

Pregnancy imposes a burden on your comfort while sleeping, and in order to have a sound sleep, you must adjust to safe sleep positions.

Fact is, it’s not easy to sleep soundly with your belly getting in the way. So, If you were a stomach sleeper before, now you'll have to switch sleep positions to accommodate your growing girth (belly)

♧♧So, what are the Best Sleep Positions? What’s the safest sleep position during pregnancy?

Please, note after, your fifth month, your back is definitely not best. Sleeping on your back puts extra pressure on your aorta and inferior vena cava, major blood vessel in the body) that run behind your abdomen and carry blood back to your heart from your legs and feet.

Pressure on these vessels can slow blood circulation to your body and your baby, and can be risky. Also naturally you might find it harder to breathe while lying on your back. And because your belly pushes down on your intestines when you lie on your back, this position can also lead to tummy troubles.( PLEASE NOTE)!

So, how about sleeping on your stomach? That's not a great idea, either. Normally when you lay face down, your stomach presses on your expanding uterus, not to mention your ballooning breasts. This is not the position you wanna be in if you want a good outcome.

♧♧And the winner is (Left is best.) Right now, side sleeping is safest for you and your baby. Plus, it's more comfortable for you as your abdomen grows.

♧♧Is one side of the body better than the other for sleeping?

Sleep experts recommend lying on your left side, because It improves circulation, giving nutrient-packed blood an easier route from your heart to the placenta to nourish your baby. Lying on the left side also keeps your expanding body from pushing down too hard on your liver. While either side is okay, left is best!

#Tips

Some few other positioning tips to help you get more comfortable and protect your baby while you sleep during pregnancy:

1.☆☆For more belly and back support: Try and prop a pillow under your tummy or between your knees. Buy a special extra-long pregnancy pillow, or just use one you have in the closet at home. Positioning a pillow under your body can help keep you on your side, preventing you from rolling to your stomach or back.

2.☆☆For shortness of breath: Put a pillow under your side to raise your chest.

3.☆☆For heartburn: Prop up the head of the bed a few inches with books or blocks. This helps keep acids down in your stomach, rather than burning their way up your esophagus.

4.☆☆Don't panic if you roll from side to front or back while you sleep. You're better off letting your body move where it's most comfortable than trying to wake yourself up every few minutes to stay on your side.

5. ☆☆You need as much sleep as you can get right now. You'll appreciate the extra rest once your baby starts waking you up for those midnight (and 1 a.m., and 2 a.m.) feedings!

Good luck

Baby 5 months is seriously vomiting after taking Aptimil for the first time, she looks so weak, please what do I do?
Help a first time mum biko.

If so looks so weak like you said, you need a doctor to examine her. She must have lost some amount of body fluid from the vomiting hence the weakness

Congratulations Jazzyjazz, God bless the newborn
