Tessicatess:
Good morning Mamas, does anyone know what could be the cause and possibly cure to this irritation on my baby’s body? I noticed it early December and I initially felt it’s the weather cause we stay in Abuja. It kept spreading and I had to complain to the doctor and she prescribed tribotan. I used it for 2 weeks and I saw no changes instead it kept spreading the more. I visited the hospital on Monday and another cream was prescribed, of which I was told to observe for 2 weeks. I’m currently using the cream but I’ll like to know if the cause could possibly be something I’m not doing right. I’ll really appreciate your inputs as it’s making me worry.
Also is it normal for baby’s poop to harden with time? She’s 4 months old and still on EBF, I wonder what makes her poop different from before and she poops every 3 days. Hope this isn’t out of the ordinary?

Hey mama. This looks like baby eczema. It happened to my 2nd son a lot.
Try using Aveeno products ( body wash and lotion) or Shea Moisture baby eczema soap. They are a little pricey but they helped. Also continue with the ori or Vaseline.

It is normal for EBF babies to go as long as 5 days or more without pooping. The mum should also watch what she eats.

Nice to be here. Please where is Team April 2021?

Congrats to all my July Teamie dropping BA/BS back to back.

@Iwinnie, It is well with you sis

My EDD is 25th and I've been having this strong cramps since last night and also notice a blood-like mucus while wiping.
Does it mean labour has started? I can't sleep cuz the pain keeps coming at interval.

Yeah, that may be your show. Its the onset of labour. Safe delivery mama

system000001:
pls help me oooo my wife went for pelvimetry xray today and the result shows inadequate pelvis inlet and she went to her hospital to show them the report and she was referred to one general hospital since morning my wife has been crying because she was afraid of C S pls do we need to panic or there his something they can do at the general hospital pls enlight us

Hello papa.. What is she crying for? There is nothing to be afraid of. It is actually good she knows now than having to endure labour pains and still undergoing CS.
From what I hear, some ladies have narrow pelvis, some have borderline and some are adequate ( there may be medical technologies for these. I truly dont know). It is no fault of hers. Just encourage her to be strong and pet her well well .
Millions of mums have done it and there are lots of positive stories here.

A friend's sister was told her pelvis was narrow and cant give birth vaginally. She has still gone on to have the number of kids she desires (4) via CS. Your wife will be fine sir.

iamhistreasure:
Good day mamas,please is ehuru commonly known as African nutmeg used for peppersoup safe for early pregnancy?I'm craving peppersoup badly and want to prepare for myself

Hey mama! Hope you are good? Are you referring to Uda? If so, I will advise you steer clear of it for now.
Though bodies may differ, it is safer you make the peppersoup without adding it. Use crayfish and other things to prepare it to avoid stories that touch. When u born, you go drink am tire!

@BligsMiss,

Be strong mama. Baby Amal will be fine. God who brought you this far is more than able to complete the good work He started. Put your trust in Him. He will never fail

Pls can I take small quantity of pineapple? Longer throat no free me.....
I'm 26 weeks gone

CC: Bimberry1307 Ayaoye Pweetibabe ProfAmah Miraclebaby angeltolly pearl05 davsquared and other mamas

Honestly people's body differ. I take pineapple all through pregnancy and have no issue with it but some mamas experience the opposite.
What I have heard is that the core (the strong part in the middle) contains high level of bromelain that is known to trigger contraction.

Maybe you can take small without the core sha or kukuma bone it if the long throat permits �

LadyMessi:
Good morning mummies in the house,
Congratulations to all the new mamas, congratulations in advance to the waddling mummies, to all our ttc members, you the next in line.


Please mummies in the house, lets say a word of prayer and encouragement to our sister Patking (April captain) for the loss of her baby. We pray that God will give her double for her loss and affliction will not arise the second time in Jesus name, Amen.

Oh my God! This is so painful and sad. Cappo Patking, may the Lord console you and the entire family
Please be strong mama

Congrats mama. He will be a blessing to the family.

bimberry1307:
This your question is on my mind too. I have it in mind to start taking Lipton once I'm 35wks cos I've been taking milo a lot since I got pregnant. But I don't know if it's to be taken with milk or not. Waiting for other mamas input on this too. I

.

See response from Liftedhands biko

mzchirious:
Good morning Sabi Mamas,how's the waddling going? ; ....I have been meaning to ask,how can one use Lipton to reduce the size of a baby (will it be taken with milk or just plain),also I'm team may (shout-out to all may Mamas ) so will it still be effective if I start now?tho I don't know the size of my baby as I haven't been able to go to do a scan due to this lock down and I'm 36 weeks already so I'm just sizing it from the size of my baby bump(lol). Please Sabi mamas,this post should not be self-isolated ,your response(s) will really be appreciated.thanks

. Make I laugh well well. In my opinion Sis, that Lipton story is a Scam! Baby cannot lose weight in utero. They pack on kgs at the later part of pregnancy. And baby size is genetics mostly. If you and your DH were big babies, no matter what you drink, your baby will tow that line.

The bottom line is to eat healthy. Enough vegetables and Food that are rich in nutrients are what you and baby need. Take it from someone who tried . .

As far as your pelvis is not borderline (where you are advised not to push a baby above 3kg estimate) there Is no need to worry.

Let's all be careful abeg and leave baby weight matter. Once again,Eat healthy!

And big babies are sweet to carry.

Wow!! Congrats teamie. So many birthday mates .

Hope you are doing good mama? Kisses to the baby

Okay, here goes my BS.

PRE-PREGNANCY

I had always wanted to have 3 kids but my DH prayed for 2. God blessed us with 2 boys and oga said , no more. Efforts to convince him otherwise, failed and was causing unnecessary quarrels. By beginning of last year when my last baby was to turn 3 and he wasn't forthcoming, Me sef kukuma bone the matter , adjusted and happily moved on with life.

Early August 2019, I was feeling kinda off so i went to the lab to do Typhoid and Malaria test make I know which drugs to buy. Entered restroom in the lab there to ease myself and from the corner of my eye, saw one old pregnancy strip test inside my purse. Dunno which spirit told me to bring it out and play with it before disposing. Obeyed the spirit and I saw two lines immediately!
People of God, I froze! Chim ooo! How manage? I started racking my brain. How can this be? Started calculating and noted that my period was due in 3 days time. Ok, let's do blood test. Shey na Lab I dey?

Left the restroom and told the lab guys to include pregnancy test. Result came out and I saw pregnancy "positive". Didnt even bother with what Malaria and Typhoid were again.
Snapped both strip and result and sent to DH. Long story short, belle don enter and that was that. Ironically, for someone who had ' fought' for another pikin, I couldn't muster up excitment about the news (God pls forgive me). Meanwhile, DH was ecstatic.

PREGNANCY STORY

MS started in earnest. At 5wks, I was already down to the familiar misery i had previous times. Sick feeling, constant weakness, nausea etc. Ulcer came up ten fold. Gestid, Gaviscon, Polycid, Pepcid, name it, none relieved me. I was miserable. Around 8weeks, I came to the hospital to complain as I was fearing ectopic cos of how horrible I felt. Scan said baby was positioned well but Sonographer asked if i was bleeding and was surprised I said no. Turns out i had small Subchorionic Haematoma(SCH). Like blood clots. I was advised to be careful, no bikes, stay off sex and I tried the much I could to obey.

At 11 weeks, wiped after peeing one day and saw blood while at work. My heart skipped! Rushed to the hospital and was admitted and managed for like 4 days then placed on bed rest for a week . Me wey no dey near hospital till 18 weeks to register for antenatal before became customer. I was required to take weekly duphaston injection till 16 weeks which I did. Bleeding resolved afterwards and SCH eventually disappeared. All was fine. MS left around week 20. I also started having Braxton Hicks contraction as early as 19wks or so.

Given my history of big babies(1st :4.58kg, 2nd: 4.2kg) I was doing all I could to make baby less than 4kg. Avoid carbs, eat veggies, drink Lipton, etc. My prayer point was actually to have a 3.8kg baby. Pregnancy progressed, kept feeling heavier by the day and my waka really changed cos of the pressure down there. At 33wks, scan showed baby at 2.6kg and I became a little depressed. After all my sacrifice and starvation! . Truth is , I knew mine had to do with genetics but it didnt stop me from wishing/trying.
37wks 2days, another scan showed 4.5kg. . At this point, even after considering my previous births, CS was advised. I was not against it but cos I travelled out, the cost implication of that was part of what I considered. Eventually I said "Let your will be done Lord " and mentally prepped myself for Scheduling CS from 39wks as advised.
Met with a Nigerian OBGYN on one of my antenatal visits and she offered to do a membrane sweep at 38wks 4days after noting that I was already dilated to 2cm for past 2 visits. (Note that I had done membrane sweep during my last pregnancy and after 72hrs, I went into Labour so I was working with that in mind). She did it around 11am on April 2nd and I went home.

LABOUR & DELIVERY

Later that day, I was experiencing light contractions but cos of my close friendship with Braxton Hicks all along, I didn't feel it was the main thing. While lying down i suddenly heard a pop sound, stood up immediately and my water poured out. I got myself cleaned up and placed a pad. Before I knew it , I had soaked through 3 pads and contractions really began . They were about 3mins apart. This was like past 4pm. Called the doctors office to let them know my water broke and I was advised to head to the hospital. I first balance chop food first for the work ahead

5:30pm or so: Got to the hospital., I was still able to endure the pain .

6:10pm : Got checked and I was 6cm gone.They strapped the monitors on me to monitor baby and I. I actually hate labouring while lying down so the restriction was not nice for me. They offered me a bouncing ball to aid labour and i started bouncing on it. When contractions hit, I bounce and use deep breathing exercises to pull through. Kept praying to God to open my cervix and pelvis so baby can be delivered with ease and not get stuck as the OBGYN feared cos of the size. I also remembered an excerpt of Beyedew BS "I labour, not for long; I give birth with ease..." and prayed with those words.

7 :20pm : Looked at the time and realised I had been bouncing for over an hour. I was like God abeg do a miracle, I want to give birth before 8pm. Stood up from the ball to pee and all of a sudden I forgot how to breathe through the contractions. The technique literally flew outta the window. I called for the nurse to check me cos the pain was unmanageable and i felt like pooing .i
In my hysteria I knocked off the line they set for IV in case..

7:40pm: Got checked and was 9cm. Nurse said I had a little bit of cervix lip left and I remember same thing happening in my previous pregnancies. I Laid on my left side and lifted up the right leg on the stirrups to get it out of the way. Of course by this time, I was pretty much consumed by the pain and was beginning to push involuntarily. Doctor was called in and the pushing began . Pushed through 3 contractions with all my strength and he was out, crying in ajebo tone . Born exactly 7:54pm . Oh what relief!!!
I was just thanking God.

Miraculously doctor looked through and said there were no tears. I almost wept for joy here. Couldn't believe my ears cos that was part of my fears. Me that was cut horrendously with my first( it even required restitching) and had 2 stitches with my 2nd. It was just God. Baby weighed 4.53kg and they all kept screaming..

At the end of the day God showed himself strong as it was His will that prevailed. We are home now and bonding fine.

Family is complete and I handover boots to all TTC /ATC sisters. The Lord will surprise you greatly.

Cappo PatKing, BS submitted.
April teamies , go forth and give birth with ease. Safe delivery everyone

Jesus take the wheel and safe delivery to everyone

Crownofwealth:
First time to comment. Have been reading and following up each chat here. I will really say I appreciate you guys on this platform for your decision to share ideas. No doubt I learnt alot about women and the stress they go through just to make the home more happier. Really waited for a long time to share my wife BS with you guys but it couldn't come to pass as my wife underwent an emergency cs and a myomectomy today. it wasn't really easy but in all we thank God for the life of my wife even though we lost our baby. God knows best. wishing all pregnant mum's a safe delivery in Jesus name. Amen

Really sorry to hear about the painful loss. May God bless you once more with the baby(ies) that will bring you joy and happiness

@ Chimzy09, thanks for the detailed BS. You write quite well . May the baby always bring joy to the family

HolySteph:
Good day mamas in the house.

Pls is it possible/normal to be dilating and contracting without pains?
Cus that's what I'm going thru now. I'm admitted already and since morning around 7am no pains again but there are contractions and I'm already 6cm gone but no pains. And they wont let me go home or move around, says its risky so baby doesnt come out in the process. My first child, I didn't experience it like this. It was fast, pains with contractions and dilation, I progressed so fast.

It is possible mama. Supernatutal childbirth in action. Just pray for strong enough contractions to push the baby out.

LegitDiva:
Team April why are we quiet? Let's start warming up oo and early porting is allowed

We quiet true true sha. Maybe na gentle mamas dey our team.

I dont mind porting to March ending though. The prayer is for healthy baby and mum.

May God see all of us through.

nnekaike:
Good evening mama's, please is it normal to have cramps at 28weeks? No discharge or blood just the cramps.

Hi mama. Did u do anything before the cramping started like hyperactive kpekusing? Or have u been stressed? Or dehydrated?

Cramping shoupd actually be monitored so you may need to see your doc.

PatKing:
Good morning House.
