Sorry dear.

My own leg cramps na 'winsh', it only happens at midnights (btw 3am - 4am) . Anyways i used to have them pre-pregnancy but it has become more painful with pregnancy.

My home remedy is ice or very cold water. DH puts it in a towel and holds it on that spot and after a few mins it stops.
I haven't used compression socks so I wouldn't know.

When I complained at ANC, my dr told me to talk short walks in the evening as a form of exercise, but i haven't tried that yet.

Akorkor:
Good morning mom in the house. Please do compression socks really works for leg cramps?
How do you cope with leg cramps during your time?
What were your home remedies?
I have exercised, but still have some little pain on my right leg particularly.
Help a FTM mum oo!!!
Cc:favoure.dmom,enque,Fed.dy27,Zay.nie and all sabi mama.

Have a wonderful Sunday

I'd really appreciate that.. Thanks once again

Onegai:
I'll let you know once they go on sale and we can talk about any questions.

Hi Teamie,

I remember a saturday, sometime last month, I did one kind long excessive trekking (i was feeling like one kain fit preggy mama). Let's just say ever since that day, I no de pass my boundary again, cos the rest of the week was crazy. My LO was just doing one kind afterwards and I had serious pains in my lower abdomen. I didn't need a doctor to tell me i overdid it.

I think you should slow down for now, when you are getting closer to ur EDD, U can resume.

Ammy5565:
Thanks favouredmum for ur input. God bless u ma. I just dont want to make a mistake, u even need to see me after the walks, all my bones nd waist will jez finish.

Mamas can know how to ignore some1 here ehn!
Pls u ppl shud help a FTM oh. Biko nu.

Ok...Thanks a million

Onegai:
November.

So I'm guessing it's not available for purchase now?
when are they launching?

Onegai:
pintoxx and comtem2011 as well. They have diaper covers, diaper inserts (cotton, bamboo and microfiber), Snappi pins, wetbags and wipes. It's a more expanded product line, like what they offer abroad. The company is run by 2 mothers who cloth diapered their own children. I've been asked to speak and explain their products and usage as well. So when they launch, I will download an entire thread on explaining the proper way to cloth diaper.

Hello Mamas, morning to everyone and kisses to your cute LOs . Can't wait till december to officially join this thread

Hi onegaii, i once read your post about reusable diapers and wipes. i tried to dig up the post but i can't seem to find it. i think you mentioned something about an indigenous company in Nigeria that produces it... sorry my pregnancy brain is acting up

Please can i get more info on this.... sorry to drag u back.


Thanks

Cc lexajen... See bolded for ur question on diaper sizes

zaynie:
1. There's size one of huggies. Just buy a Lil of that..... say like up to 50. If scan confirms you have a big baby like 3.75kg and above on the way, you might want to jump this size and buy size 2. Size 2 should do till baby is sitting or crawling sef. So a little size one and a lot of size 2.
I always buy size on cos it's always so cuteeeeeee on them. Snug and fit.


2. I use Huggies baby wipes; sensitive. Cos I don't know if the baby will be one kind selective baby.
The one with aloe is also very good.
Try to avoid the very nice smelling kind or any wipes with alcohol or and disinfecting wipes ( you can get this for cleaning surfaces )

3. Whatever formula suits your baby's needs/tummy and your pocket and instincts. Buy just one at first to check if baby likes it and isn't sensitive to it.

4.formula is baby milk. Maybe she meant breastmilk or milk ( some kids are lactose intolerant )

5. Infant car seat at birth. It's just their size.
Regular car seat as they grow.





Abeg where can I get seat booster for my 4 year old?
That boy no wan dey hear sit down again

My baby cot is a bit different from yours, but I bought a MOUKA FOAM BABY COT MATTRESS from one of their distributors. They make it specifically for baby cots, and it comes pre-wrapped wt a Waterproof material that prevents the mattress from absorbing pee or any fluid that pours on it.

My mum says you may not get original white napkins of good quality anymore, but u can try asking when u get to the market.

I googled flannel gowns and I was seeing images of gown Wey resemble normal nightgown. May I ask what u need them for??

I copied u in zayn.ie's comment on diaper size for newborns. There r lots of brands in the market but u can also ask experienced mamas around you and work with their feedback. My elder sis and 2 friends have recommended molfix diapers, I haven't bought any yet. Just start wt a small quantity first and then with time, u add more...that way ur not stuck wt lots of unused diapers which ur lo has outgrown.

#My2Cents
P.s - I am a FTM too

lexajen:
I intend to buy baby diapers.

Is Napkin still in vogue, the white type I mean...
Or should I buy disposable kind?

Which one is affordable and what size can I get for a new born that will not make me regret? I'm scared of pampers

What does a flannel gown look like?

Which hot water flask brand is best?

Please no read and ignore me o o o
Epp me with answers please.

*modified*

Ehen, Mamas, this is type of cot I bought..
You may notice it has two layers.
I was thinking of buying something foamy to augment the sleeping surface, but I don't know the name I will call to market people, please advise me.

Pristine is always smiling

rofemiguwa:
We were 5months on sunday yaaayyyy.9th.

So we tried our walker.hehehehe.

When u have exams by 12 and its 1030 already

Emerald65 and Olatebony both sell pp belt

luscioustrish:
I need affordable postpartum belt, pm me please,I'm in Lagos or help me cc mamas that sells.....My son has jaundice and the pediatrician claimed he didn't see it the day he was born now I'm worried..though I gave him pawpaw water to drink,Nigerian doctors are just not it....it is well.

Favouredmom, not only u... D weeks feel so slow since I got to 30weeks... 2nd trimester flew so fast, or maybe its just d feeling of 'd closer it gets, d farther it seems'.

Favouredmom:
Ah Pele! I can totally relate

Is it only me that feels like since I clocked 30 weeks, the days just seem to crawl?
And about what you said @ jazzy about giving birth abroad, I pray I have a pleasant experience here but from the little I've seen in their clinics and hospital, it's true they treat you like a VIP with smiles and so much love. Your health and comfort come first no matter what. They even offer free birth classes to get you acquainted with different birthing styles ahead of time.
I'm certain there are very good hospitals too in Nigeria but they may be quite expensive, Nigeria will get there soon by Gods grace.

eeewwwww!

Mummytee:
For those of you planning your babyshower and thinking of cake to make,have got something for you

Thank God for the journey so far.....its not been easy, God bless every mama here. Its surprising and heartwarming the extent we are willing to go for our los and discomforts we are ready to bear for the comfort of another human being. The love i feel already is so overwhelming , i find my self crying. Its so embarassing.

Cappo of life......Thanks a lot.

Your bump is cute o, not so big for someone carrying multiples

Favouredmom:
All these bumps that won't let someone see road ...
@ enque, princesskf and Stephmiracle, cute bumps you've got there.

@ Akorkor, enque and the others have said it all. It's a phase, it'll pass.

Me and my precious LOs at 31 weeks plus. This is the best shot I could get as I'm not so good with selfies. The Lord has been so wonderful to us, it's been a smooth ride so far and we pray it stays that way till I'm full term.

A pregnancy app says I should be looking like a mum-to-be carrying a singleton at full term by week 30, dunno if that is true in my case. By the way I saw something that looked like one of my babies' fist on my skin this morning. The nudging and pushing was so intense it almost made me freeze.

suzy:
nice bump.hope to feel all dis soooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ooooooooooooooo. my Lo is too gentle. But i no my lo is okay

Jazzyjazz the foodie can help u on this one.....I was more irritated than hungry during my first few weeks.

khaleesi:
Hello everyone, this is my first time on this thread. Well, I was chased by hunger to look for a thread like this one on nairaland...yes hunger... This is my 6th week of pregnancy.. No nausea yet, just sore and swollen breast (which for some reason fascinates hubby #grins), fatique and craving to eat alot during the day. It doesnt matter if I just ate breakfast by 9am, by 11am I am very hungry again and the hunger is always so discomforting that I cant ignore..infact it gives me mood swing if I dont get something to eat as soon as possible I flare up easily. Today I ate by 8am..at 11, I was already restless to eat again..I tried to focus on work and ignored it..it became painful, so I had to get wheat and vegetable soup, ate two portion of what I usually take..now its around 2pm and I am getting hunger signals again. I will have to go get some crackers any time soon. My whole system is like that during the day, constant need to keep eating, then at night I am hardly hungry, just very exhausted. Is it normal to feel so hungry this early in pregnancy. I am worried about adding much weight this early.

Congrats dear....
wooow! 3.75kg

Lbotusme:
My Birth story.
On Sunday Monday after it rained heavily, I decided to go make my hair because my edd was 16th.I got back home, prepared dinner and ate. At about 11pm,I started having menstrual cramps which came at 10mins interval.
I woke up my dh and kids and we headed to the hospital.
I was already 2cm dilated when we got to hospital. Contractions progressed, still felt like menstrual pain. By 4:30am, the matron came to check and I was 8cm. Baby's head was already descending yet I felt nothing. Within few seconds , all the pains I was supposed to feel came at once and I started screaming ' baby is pushing me ooooo. I won't born again oooo. Call my dh for me ooooooo ;Do
I was asked to push and he came out weighing 3.75kg without tear at 4:50am. the matron used olive oil to expand my power house for easy passage.

To all the waddling mamas , your joy shall be full in Jesus name.

#teamDecember

Pele dear, i have experienced this same 'emotional roller-coaster' once, I had to come here to rant one morning and i felt better afterwards. I know it's not easy but please focus on the things that make u happy. U can watch tv, listen to music or just do anything that interests you (you can call your dh and let it all out, cry if u feel like...it may seem like they don't understand but they actually do).

For the se..x part, me i no get answer for that one o cos last time I had se..x was when i was about 8 weeks , I had some bleeding afterwards and then Low-lying placenta come follow suit (it is well with my soul), so the DRs banned us from se..x and we had to comply (biko DH & I can sacrifice anything just for the health of this my blessed pikin, we will resume all our lost kpekusing after I born)

Although I read that se..x during pregnancy may not be as comfy as it used to be, but you guys will need to try some other positions till you find what works for you.

My first experience was like hell and very painful, but with time I started getting the hang of it....So trust me babe, with time, na U go dey chase ur dh around say U wan do

Be strong girl, we love you

Akorkor:
Teamie and all mama in the house...

I woke up at 3:45am today and i have been feeling so sad and depressed. Just don’t know what is happening to me. I am always feeling alive but this morning i was even crying when brushing.
Am in the only one this is happening to?

Also, I am planning to come back to Nigeria so that I won’t be alone when giving birth and I have been thinking about having sex with hubby. Will it be painful? Will I enjoy it? Because I was a virgin when I married my hubby so I literally don’t enjoy sex. And am 100% sure hubby is jogging for me for my comeback..
Not easy to stay alone when you are pregnant. Seriously!!!!

Thanks teamie , God will see us through to the end...
