For your heart burns, use an antacid prescribed by the Dr, you don't have to suffer.

For the Pcv, be religious with your ferrous tabs, when my PCV was low, Dr said I should double the dosage and I saw a considerable increase in one week.

You can also try eating lots of green veggies especially straining garden egg leaves and drinking. Many preggies have confirmed it works.
mama what's ferrous tabs. ..

Congratulations to all mamas that have put to bed and God has made it easy, seamless for the rest of us. Sunbestie, my able Cappo, Pearl05, Astilo and the rest of the team, how is the ministry? Have we started shopping yet?

Am I the only one who has started waddling at 24 weeks? Tiredness nko? And then my baby kicks are on another level. E be like say this baby is a no nonsense mama. Lol

But mamas here, una try well but e remain kinkini. I just remembered the pain when the uterus is contracting back is is just me? The pain is the real deal. Omoni never expected it and I was so scared that I almost dropped my son. How come no one has never spoken about it or was it because I had cs?

Mothers please share your experiences Biko.
Teamie am fine oo.. The Tommy Don dey heavy me small small.. I get tired easily.. And my mood swings is something else.. I have started showing well well since self... And my baby can kick ehnn and she moves all the time .. Sometimes she will just rest on my bladder that I find it difficult to walk..i have a question.. I read that touching of the nipples induce labor...we that have not reach that stage yet when our nipples are touched.. What does it do to the baby? Is it safe to touch it?

Exercises for Pregnancy
Here are some exercises that will help you stay fit during your pregnancy. Before you start an exercise program, consult with your health care provider, who can provide exercise guidelines based on your medical history and level of risk.


Stretching Exercises for Pregnancy
Stretching exercise make the muscles limber and warm, which can be especially helpful when you're pregnant. Here are some simple stretches you can perform before or after exercise:

Neck rotation: Relax your neck and shoulders. Drop your head forward. Slowly rotate your head to your right shoulder, back to the middle, and over the left shoulder. Complete four, slow rotations in each direction.
Shoulder rotation: Bring your shoulders forward and then rotate them up toward your ears and then back down. Do four rotations in each direction.
Swim: Place your arms at your sides. Bring your right arm up and extend your body forward and twist to the side, as if swimming the crawl stroke. Follow with left arm. Do the sequence ten times.
Thigh shift: Stand with one foot about two feet in front of the other, toes pointed in the same direction. Lean forward, supporting your weight on the forward thigh. Change sides and repeat. Do four on each side.
Leg shake: Sit with your legs and feet extended. Move the legs up and down in a gentle shaking motion.
Ankle rotation: Sit with your legs extended and keep your toes relaxed. Rotate your feet, making large circles. Use your whole foot and ankle. Rotate four times on the right and four times on the left.

Kegel Exercises During Pregnancy
Kegel exercises help strengthen the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowels. By strengthening these muscles during your pregnancy, you can develop the ability to relax and control the muscles in preparation for labor and birth. Kegel exercises are also highly recommended during the postpartum period to promote the healing of perineal tissues, increase the strength of the pelvic floor muscles, help these muscles return to a healthy state, and increase urinary control.

To do Kegels, imagine you are trying to stop the flow of urine or trying not to pass gas. When you do this, you are contracting the muscles of the pelvic floor and are practicing Kegel exercises. While doing Kegel exercises, try not to move your leg, buttock, or abdominal muscles. In fact, no one should be able to tell that you are doing Kegel exercises. You can do them anywhere!

thanks mama

May God bless all mamas.
Our January mamas, grace for safe and swift delivery, Amen.

Other Senior sabi mamas, I pray for more grace to continue pushing the truck as our LO bake very well. Don't be tire please. Jehovah is your strength.

To my Junior mamas especially the August whom Ms is still doing strong thing, it will soon be over and you will start the honeymoon phase. It's so sweet that you just forget about all the Ms. All you will be doing is glowing , catwalking and tantalizing Dh all over the house especially the oza room.

To all our mamas that their journey were stopped abruptly and all mothers and fathers of Nations, Oh lord remember them early and restore unto them double for their trouble in this fresh and fertile year 2019 to your glory alone. We pray oh Lord. In Jesus wondrous name we pray. Amen.


To my sweetest May team, my able cappo sunbestie, Astilo and others I believe that we are doing marvelously great and actively exercising very well in the oza room giving Dh different styles cowgirl, doggy, one leg up and others as the spirit leads and your muscles can carry you (/pls nobody should ask for description as me too don't know them, but all I know is that missionary is not working for me now) .


Rant Time
Whenever I sit flat on the floor and raise my leg in such a way that the foot is placed flat on the ground and kneel pointing up, I feel so much pain in the abdomen. Please is it normal or I should be concerned about it? Being FTM I don't know which one is normal and when water is becoming excess to the garri.

And the way I feel pressed now is something else. I urinate like horse. The more I drink water, the more I feel urge to urinate more. Should I reduce the fluid I take so as to reduce the frequency? In a day, I change pants like 3 times. If I cough hard, or laugh too much, urine must escape my vijajanah.
Pleasey Phd holders in this ministry, health care givers in the ministry should answer your troubled baby sister.

Lastly my baby is too gentle and sleeps alot. All he does is just little stretching when he wakes and a gentle tapping here and there once in a while. Is there anything I can do to make him more active like playing football, basketball or even jumping upandan on the cushion.

May we all carry to term and behold our LO in our hands. Amen.
mama am doing fine oo...that oza room exercise is the only exercise I have been doing oo... Dh is not complaining he is happy am not even rejecting it cause of the baby...

That's how my baby is too ...calm, slight kicks and movement but not always.. Sometimes I see the movement on my Tommy.. It's a Wow feeling Jehovah God is amazing..

Please mamas who else is having heart burns... Mine is not going at all its here to stay.. The pain is not funny at all... Worst of all am an ulcer patient.. Doc said I will feel the pain now more than ever because of the pregnancy..
cry cry...mama please if there is any other exercise I can do that is safe..please recommend for me.. I take walks sometimes when I feel like...

Coming from the doctor's place. He said that am having contractions and needed bed rest and suggested admitting me so as to monitor me. He said that my blood is also low. 30%. FTM just 20 weeks. Remember me in your prayers.

Teamie, that's my situation as well. Plus when I hold my stomach still for sometime, I feel rise and fall of breathing as if my heart is located in my stomach now. I don't know whether it's my own breathing or baby's own that am feeling at my stomach.



I also feel hardness on some sides of the stomach as if hard object were placed there while other sides are relatively soft. When I tap it hard or dance ,the hardness changes position to come back later.
exactly.. Mostly I feel hardness below my Tommy and it's heavy sometimes.. As if my baby is resting on my bladder.. When I tap it I don't feel it again after sometime it will get hard again..and anytime I complain DH will say it's normal that I should stop complaining too much..
