How are we all doing today and the lovelies?

I am 8months+ post-partum and I still release gas through my vagina. Pls how do I rectify this and what are the implications and how do I prevent this in future births.

Has anyone experienced this? Did it later stop? How did you go about it?

All mamas please help throw in a word or two

Many Thanks

maami, how body? nice hearing from you again

nahzyla:


Women are really seeing something. Its very easy for men to reject family planning or to selfishly claim they can't use condom because they are the not the ones facing the pains of pregnancy or stress of childcare.

Asin ehnnn, you can say that again!

Meeeeey:


Thank you

Someone is at home but no food is appealing. I take pap mainly.

Pls Mamas his poop is strong and in drops. He poops like 2 drops daily.

What can I do to make it normal?

If he's on formula, you need to increase his water intake. Also you take a lot of fruits and vegetables, it will aid his bowel movement

Meeeeey:


Thanks Ma'am. Although I don't have appetite now, I will try to eat well.

Hope this phase passes soon.

Pele dear.....just try and eat o...you need energy to take care of baby

For now, don't do any fitfam..eat anything you have appetite for...fruits, meatpie, sharwama, suya, barbeque fish, mama put rice, indomie and egg

you don't need to eat a lot at once. take small meals per time and eat at least 5 times a day...drink malt too..

I hope someone is at home helping you

@gre..atp80
thanks very much...I don't just know y he is turning deaf ears.
I don't just want to make the costly mistake again.. coupled with me being a health practitioner, I suffered so much embarrassment from people on having preg so early then.

You have heard what he said..no arguments.. don't even say anything to him about it again

Go and help yourself without telling him! You are not inserting anything in his body, it's your body! So take charge!

You need to stay alive to take care of your kids o! taking care of 2 children under 2yrs is not a joke... I've been through it and I know what I'm saying

Should anything go wrong, you will be at the losing end!! Love yourself more and do what you know is best for you

queensnow:
Thought to share.. family planning do have side effect for some they are lucky while some are not. What may react in lady A might not react in lady B...

Everything in life has side effect

This story is a case of 1 in 5000

it's like saying you won't enter a car because of the many road accidents

Remember, life itself is a risk!

perfectcrown:


Mama i raise hands for you ma! You tried o! 3years and 18months!!!

Me wey wan wean my 2nd ds next month when he'll be 1year. I cant shout abeg!

lol...you sef don try

beautifulrosa:
Anyone cold here?
Did it rain at your end?

So I av 2questions. My son weighed 6.4kg at 14weeks. Bet he's not looking chubby like that. I wonder if that is the expected weight of a baby at his age. Tho presently we are 4months old.

Again also he seems to be interested in whatever am eating.....[b]is there any cereal he can take at 4months?

[/b]Thanks in anticipation of your kind responses.

yes.. Heinz and cow and gate products

Mahoti:
Pls Darasimi need vacation cos I think I am going to faint,she won't play alone nobody fit carry her eating na war I can't eat in peace,I don't really sleep, I am always exhausted cos its jst me and her pls someone should jst come and carry her for 2hours I love her so much sha
Rant over

spread a colorful mat, put her down..look for those toys that move so she will be chasing it...allow her to play! I'm sure you are always carrying her... how old is she? making feeding times happy hour! sing, do funny faces, eat with her, allow her play with some of the food

portable4real:
please all Sabi mamas.. I need review on depo provera I.e the 3 months injectable mode of birth control..I don't want story that touches again.I have 19months old boy as well as a 1 month old boy. Hubby still insist on no family planning and I can't bear it anymore. the only method he wants is withdrawal no condom. The withdrawal he insisted on from the last time that when he approached me and I explained I was about starting my ovulation and he told me our them 11 months old baby was old enough to have baby.

ok withdrawal reach I beg oga, tried to push him away but he resisted.

now have been pleading now and no positive response again. I want to go for injectable since is d only one that can't be noticed..

I went through hell during those pregnancy and parenting period. had series of professional exams cos I married as a student. In fact just finished one exam when I delivered my second boy.on the first of April dis year prematurely..

I thank God I passed all at one sittings.
I have a year internship Prog plus nysc awaiting now and I don't want preg for now.

I want to know about the injection method from people that have used and still using it.
Sorry for any error, typing and breastfeeding.

what is is reason for this?

I think he needs to be better enlightened on why you should do family planning or he should protect himself

Babe17:
it is advisable you do fp with your husband's consent. To avoid stories that touch too

What stories?? When he's not giving his consent, what do you want her to do? It should be a mutual agreement, and in all the bearer has the highest say cos she's the one going through it

@portable4real, the first thing you must understand is that it's your health and your life! He does not want you to do fp, yet he does not want to protect himself! Now this is selfish

My dear, be wise! walk into a primary health centre, ask for the family planning unit, they will educate you better and do whatever method that pleases you right away!

Withdrawal method is no form of family planning! You also have a life and plans to achieve! You've had 2 children, take a break and stay alive to take care of them

Meeeeey:
Good day Mamas,

I'm officially joining this thread after peeping and learning while pregnant.

I'm not lactating well for my 7 days baby. He eats about 30Mls of formula every 2hrs after I have breastfed him.

Pls how can I increase lactation soon? I drink pap and water a lot.

Is the quantity of food not too much for his age?

Pls help a FTM

Thank you

Welcome on board new mummy

Don't worry about food quantity for a newborn... just feed on demand...leave measurement matter alone

Again, you need to understand that you are still getting a hang of breastfeeding! so don't expect express flow! The truth is breastfeeding is hard at the very beginning but once you master it, you are good to go!

For you to lactate well,
1. You need to put your mind at rest. stress reduces milk production
2. Eat well
3. Breast feed often, that will trigger the brain that more milk needs to be produced
4. Drink a lot of water! any time you are breast feeding, have a bottle of water next to you..as you are breastfeeding, you are drinking
5. Oats is also good to take

if all these fail, look for fenugreek or lactation cookies

Bloomingbud:


[b]Thanks my fellow twin mama I tried the syringe method yesterday and it was better [/b]however I think I should worry less cos when I checked their weight today at 12 weeks she weighed 5.5kg while her twin weighed 6kg meaning she is still adding weight even without food I just fear what will happen in crèche. Thanks to everybody that contributed

mitche15:


Spotting was becoming a headache. I got tired and took it out. The hormonal or non hormonal IUD? I don't want to do anything hormonal again

Pele dear... IUD is non-hormonal

omotolanibaby:
wooow u meant the 3years old boy was still sucking breast ,you really tried ooo

yes o...lol

GlitteringStar:




Wow! Tuale mama. May they continue to grow in God's wisdom and good stature. Amen.

amen! thanks dearie

mitche15:
Sigh.... i have finally removed jadelle from my arm. I am so sad that it didn't work out for me. I want to try with the non hormonal copper T, pls any reviews? I don't want it to shift oh . I am so upset, i actually wanted a tubal ligation done during my CS but my oga at the top refused to sign.

This family planning wahala. and i don't want any by mistake, i am not sure i will enjoy sex again if i don't have assurance oh. My heart go just dey beat.

Pls guys! Reviews for non hormonal IUD

What happened to your Jadelle?

I've had IUD for 14 months now and no single complaints

comtem2011:
Ekene wan finish the breast before junior go come.

does it mean milk can dry up without weaning a child? I always think it will continue to flow as long as the child is still sucking.

it will continue to flow but you will feel the reduction eg you can stay from morning till evening without engorged breasts

comtem2011:
wow, she is 18 months already!!!! how time flies. May God continue to watch over her.

I will report to their father for giving them bitter breastmilk.

honestly, You really tried for them. God will keep them for you and give you the reason to rejoice over them at your old age!!!! kudos ma'aam

yes o..she's a big girl now... if her brother sees her going close. he would start shouting "don't suck bitter breast"

Amen to your prayers dear

Liftedhands:
I'll have to look for it then cos my nipples are constantly paining me now. He sucks one with force(i guess he is looking for the milk)and twirls the other with his fingers making both sore same time.

His sucking is mostly at bedtime and whenever he wakes to see the booby staring at him we co-sleep.

That's why I had to stop them.. e don do

3yrs boy and 18months girl I don try for them

But you know the truth? I didn't feel like stopping

lululuv:


Did u take any tabs to ease your pains? D what does the stop and grow look like?

The pics are attached. they both do the same function.

For the pains, I took buscopan and ibuprofen o... but it was still there jor.. it stopped when it felt like it was time

Liftedhands:
Ekene is still using me as pacifier o! Milk dried up since early March but the young man don't wanna let go of the breast
Congrats double twale for you! You try abeg.

I noticed mine drying up too so I knew it was time to stop

I rubbed "stop and grow"; nail biting polish on my bosom and that was the end for them the bitter taste do them strong thing

comtem2011:
So finally, both no dey suck again. But u cheated my baby girl o!!!! why wean her alongside?
Come and answer ur query.

lol...as she turned 18 months, I decided to stop both of them jare! dem wan turn am to blackmail mata

For one week, pains wan finish me.. I just strong my mind... infact after 3days, I no fit again, I give her to suck

But now, she puts her mouth then spits it out....I rubbed bitter thing on it so the brother still has that phobia

The thing bitter them well well

Liftedhands:
Spot on.

Mama Ekene, I have succeeded in weaning them o

Yesterday made it one month

zaynie:
This force feeding matter just reminded me of something funny that happened in the class.
So there's this Black French boy in my class (doesn't understand what we say in English but speaks French (mom) and Yoruba (dad) well ). He doesn't like food at all, just water and play....rough rough play .
So my partner decided to feed him by force cos he spits on your face or vomits all over you lol! She carried him and held his hands and chook the spoon in his mouth but this boy is strong mehn! And she was barely hanging on so she called me to help hold his legs, at first I didn't understand and I held his legs merely on impulse but sth just lit the bulb on my head and I heard myself say "force feeding is illegal and I can actually be jailed for this!!!!" I left the leg with immediate alacrity and told her "there's CCtV! There is evidence, you can actually be jailed for this! Me I'm not there o" . they were all looking at me like what's wrong with this one but I was actually scared for real cos his father looks like one do or die kinda person. Please I'm too stubborn to go to jail, dem go beat me die for there

He still doesn't eat (only his yoghurt and apple sauce) , we package his food for him like that and he looks so buff and big for his age o (clocking 2 this month).

lol..I can imagine! this feeding thing ehnn...no need to stress it..they eventually get over it... I was just gisting my nanny this morning if she remembered how we suffered with food when my son started school...his teacher then (God bless her always), she had taught for 27yrs in that school would say to me, don't stress it..give him only what he likes and it was only rice he likes

she said give him today give him jollof, tmrw palmoil with mackerel rice, next day coconut rice...like that o...then she gives him milo and milk to drink everyday...dat was it o! the boy was well nourished. then too I also ensured he ate one egg every day

looking back now, there is nothing he does not eat today! asin school meals are no longer a problem for me cos anything you give him, he brings back an empty flask! his appetite is so big now... I'm just excited jare

so mamas, don't sweat feeding issues...find whatever they like and give them in variety of ways

Beryl15:

I’m fine mama, just counting down. 9 weeks to go.
