Grandma is no more.
I don't drink it everyday.
Once in a week is okay.

Forgot to add, the purpose of drinking Ewedu leaf is to ease child birth. To make delivery easier.

Op, most people that do purely traditional are in the village.
Most educated folks combine both traditional and modern just in case.
Let me tell you my story.
When I was pregnant, I had low PCV, one expensive drug was prescribed, I used it but it didn't work so I had to call Grandma.
She told me to get one leaf (ewe ogbon; I don't know the english name), wash it to get the juice and drink with peak milk first thing in the morning.
I did as instructed and it worked. The next time I went to check my PCV, it increased greatly.
I was still going to the hospital and taking normal modern medicine.
When it was time for baby to turn, he didn't turn. So I was told I will do CS.
I called grandma again and she sent some herbs through a driver. I took the herbs and baby turned.
Doctor asked me what I used, I just told him prayers worked.
2 months to delivery, grandma instructed me to start blending Ewedu leaf(I don't know the english name) and drink without cooking.
I was doing it consistently.
In my family, we have history of newborns having jaundice at birth so grandma told me to get unripe pawpaw, soak for some days and drink so i can pee everything out.
Thank God I had a smooth delivery and the baby never had jaundice.
What I am trying to say is that, you don't depend on only traditional method. You combine both. If modern doesn't work, use traditional.
That's what I did and thats what people I know did too.

Forward ever.

Mother and child alive is what we pray for.

Some still do the ewe and agbo in Nigeria here, they still loss their babies and still undergo Cs to bring out the still babies and safe the mother's life.

Talk to a Doula over there of what your options are or could be.

Don’t gamble with your life tho.

Lamanii22:

Congratulations madam, another baby girl might be on her way!

Delektable:
Wow, this life is funny. Mummy mine was even the reverse, my wife took in sharp sharp breastfeeding or no breastfeeding, I was even shocked how it happened. Baby was about 7 months sef when she took in, then she was actively breastfeeding because my wife did almost 90% breastfeeding with little solid food after 6 months but exclusively for 0-6months, and I was firing down with rest of mind, nuturing our new born. We even consulted our Gynae consultant and he said no wahala. Only for mama to start displaying all the pregnancy signs again. When our baby was 9-10 months, these signs became intense, we now did PT, lo and behold another one was already in the oven. Since then, I am afraid to fire carelessly after the birth of baby 2. So my advice is whether or not you are breastfeeding just tell oga to keep firing without caution since you want it, don't worry if it will happen it will happen....and of course put it in prayers.

Gloriagee:
Happened twice for me so no biggie but I usually stop breastfeeding once they clock one.

Gloriagee:
Is your period back? If yes, you can get pregnant while breastfeeding.

frozen70:
Just make up your mind and stop breast feeding that's the only solution

Then keep lots of goodies and provision incase she needs food at midnight

Then start wearing bra 24hrs once the fluid does not get sucked, it will withdraw but you may experience slight pains because of the withdrawal

This type when blended are called cornstarch

Eulalia:
No o not the one used for pop corn. Its the one used for pap. Those big grain corn.

Yes just grind it to powder, thsrs your cornmeal powder.

Eulalia:
Yes dear.

I used to buy it a lot but these days I dont get to see it much in my area. And the ones I see are usually exposed to air by those Hawking it. At supermarket, I won't get enough to quench my hunger for it cos it will be so small and expensive. So i bought 1paint corn and milled it. I make it at home now and eat it to my satisfaction. I can't seem to have enough of it. So sweeeeet.

Ah tanfirin too is very easy. Mix corn and fried groundnut, ginger and pepper and grind dry.
Then add sugar and little water then press together to mould. Its been long though but those are the basic ingredients for tanfili aka dankwa.

Primary school days things.

Thanks.

Eulalia:
I didn't use branded cornmeal. I bought dry corn and took it to the millers and milled it.

Eulalia:
* When it is cooled, add the remaining half cup cornmeal you set aside and knead until smooth. As shown below

* Take a little portion  and roll in between your palm, you can also roll it on a flat table to get a longer shape.Repeat this process for the remaining dough.

* Now heat up some vegetable oil until hot and fry the rods shaped dough until it hardens.

*Remove the cornsticks and place on sieve lines with paper towels, to remove excess oil.Leave to cool and ENJOY .
