Lemme know how it goes....

It s really working.The steam bath is sth else. Leaves me n LO refreshed. loll.. Thk u so mch ma..

Hello everyone. i have been following ds thread for a long time. i gave birth to my baby last mth.. I want to share my bs for mummies in d making to learn from..
I gave birth on 21st wch was on a saturday. I went to work normally on d friday preceding d- day . I even worked late dat day dat i got home around 9pm tho i had been having a very mild cramp around 7pm in d office. I got confirmation whn i saw blood while showering dat ngt.
I informed my hubby n we quickly went to d hosp with d hosp bag. Got to d hosp around past 10 and my cervix was said to b closed whn checked. The nurse gave me injection to make me slp. Naso i slp off oo but still feeling mild cramps.
i woke up d nxt morning on saturday still feeling sleepy. Nurses came to check on me and dey still see me sleeping. In dr minds i am not in labour i just came to slp.loll
but the truth is dat i wake whn contraction hits me and i go back to slp once it subsides. They even saw me pressing fone with no form of distress. they just didnt bother to check me..
At around 3pm, d contractions were now intense dat i ll clench d hosp bed whn it comes with no shout n go bac to slp once it stops The gynea eventually came to chk me around 3.30 n lo n behold i was fully dilated. he was surprised cos he was not expecting me to keep my cool. I was moved to d labour room immediately. d doc broke my water and was asked to push..
Pushing is another skill dat has to be learnt . I tried to push n my baby came out at d 6th trial i guess. It was beautiful sight to see my baby boy cry as he came forth at 4pm..
Episiotomy is not a bad thg. I was given a small cut to aid easy passage of my baby. I made sure d nurse deaden d place before stitching. it was painless n even gisting while she stitching n restoring it bac to factory setting according to her. I didnt need to sit on any warm water for it to get healed. It s healed already..
Everybody in d hosp were just praising me dat i am strong for a firsttimer dat i didnt shout d whole hosp down..But i go form shouting for dem to take me serious nxt time. I giv God d glory.. Sorry for d long post..

Have you tried steam baths?
Hot water in a bucket, few drops of eucalyptus oil (silverbird) in it, hold baby on your laps and cover up with a thick blankie so he inhales the steam.

Put a few drops of the oil on his pillow or flannel or clothes.( avoid it touching his skin).

If he is ebf-ed, load on vit c so he can suck on it. If he isnt, hygienically juice some oranges and watermelon for him to drink. Vit C doesnt cure cold but it builds your immune system to fight the virus faster. Also up his water intake.
Also suck out the catarrh as it comes with your mouth or aspirator.
Keep the dust off.
Keep him away from strangers or anyone with any kind of illness. A prolonged cold is usually an indicator of a weak immune system.
Go low with the AC or fan.
Hold on with the night baths, a wash down with wet wipes will do the job.
Hold on with daily head/ hair wash.....weekly is just fine.

i ll follow all the instructions
thk u for the prompt response
