He's right. Most times, jaundice manifest 2-3days after birth that's why you are advised to take your baby to a paed 2-3days after birth for a well baby assessment. Please follow the proper hospital procedures to overcome the jaundice. pawpaw water for a newborn be careful !

Hello mamas in the house and the waddling mamas,how body?have really missed a lot on the thread,have been so busy since the arrival of my princess last month,she's just 20 days old and has rashes especially on her face and I see her front hair cutting off,don't know what she's reacting to,pls help a ftm.

Oils are mostly the culprit for rashes on a baby's face. avoid applying anything for now. Only wash the face with water and allow the skin breathe. It will clear out on its own.

Experienced mums, pls my bbg seems to be having stomach upset or something like that pls what remedies can I take to relief of this discomfort, I started feeding with Nan1 but now on breast milk.pls experienced mums, what can I do

Teamie, you need to burp your baby properly. When feeding from the bottle, burp after every 10mls. Don't allow the baby finish the milk before you burp and don't rush feeding. When breastfeeding, burp your baby before you change to the next breast and keep baby for at least 20mins on each breast. Please don't use any drugs !

Good evening mamas, I went for ANC today. I was told to come for induction on my EDD which is next week. The reason is that I am Rhesus negative and also ask to get Anti-rhogam on my admission. Any mama experienced this??

Pls help with where I can get the anti-rhogam in lagos mainland and the cost.

I have started my long walk and climbing stairs for past 2 weeks. what else can I do to induce labour naturally as I have my fears for induction and my dh isn't around.

The doctor also said my purging after eating is just a way my body is preparing for Labour.

Please help your sister

TripleKMama:
Pls dis visa on arrival thing, is it based on airline or what? Anyone done visa on arrival wit BA? Pls epp! Kindly share ur experience. Tanks!

Cc: babythug

babythug:
Hello everyone

Just to mention I successfully used the visa on arrival option for my baby a few weeks back! The key thing is to arrive at the airport early and explain that you will get the visa in Nigeria, have the baby's birth certificate on hand as well. It costs 200 dollars even though the official rate is 160 dollars

Good luck

I flew Qatar airways

Babe thanks for belling the cat

Pls explain how you did it cos I might have to tow that path

Similoluwa1, you don't need SSN for passport. Put 00000 in the SSN space.

Also, you can't do visa on arrival for your child. You need either a visa or ETC to board the flight

Teegali:
I have become more scared since yesterday midnight when she started to vomit thick meconium mixed blood or something like that she was taken immediately to NICU,they suction to remove all the things she was vomiting, they observed her till morning n brought her back,the doctor said she is now OK but she is still bringing out saliva

It is well with your child . You will never bury any child again. Remove fear and speak life continously to this child. She has come to stay. My prayers are with you

Thanks darling

luscioustrish:
Happy Sunday everyone...the catheter was removed n a tablet was inserted,please what is it for coz no one said anything except to be in bed for an hour.

It will end well dear. I'm sure the tablet is cytotec to help ripen your cervix so that the contractions can be regular! Hang in there! God will perfect that which He has started. I'm praying for you *hugs*

MY BIRTH STORY

I'm not sure i can tell stories but I will try At my 39th week doctor's appointment, I broke down in tears at my doctor's office because I wanted induction like I did for my son but he refused! He kept explaining his reasons and said if by my 40th week appointment I didn't fall into labour naturally, then I will be induced but encouraged that I take long walks. I could not do the long walks cos weather was not favorable. So on Monday the 3rd of October, I got dressed and decided to go stay at the mall till night. I walked round the mall from 1pm till 7pm ! When I got home, I was exhausted and had a very hot shower.

At about 2-3am, I started feeling menstrual like cramps. I woke up to observe it, asked my friends what it could be because I didn't experience labour pains with my son so I didn't know what to expect. My friends advised that I take my bath, prepare my son and time the contraction. I did and started timing. It was 10-11 minutes apart. I woke my MIL up, told her to get dressed and called a taxi.

I got to the hospital at about 8am, I was checked in and waited for my doctor. She came with her team, checked me and said I was 1-2cm dilated and she won't admit me yet. At this point, I was heart broken! i said to myself that baby must come today. I changed into the hospital robe and was told to walk for 2hrs then come back. i managed to walk across the corridor and when I was done, serious hunger started, so they gave me sandwich, juice and crackers while I waited for her to come. She did VE and said I was 2cm that she would advise I go home. I said Noooo! She should induce me; she started her own epistle again and later sat at the head of my bed and was asking why I really wanted induction. I told her I didn't have any reason but I feel I'm prepared to have the baby. So she agreed and said she will insert cytotec first to help ripen the cervix and come back in 2hours to check. This was done at 11am. I requested for epidural immediately and the anesthesiologist was informed. She came in about 1 hour after, did the procedure and pain was gone. By then I was 3cm and the contractions where now 6-8mins apart . Doc came back by 3pm; checked again and said I was 5cm dilated so I'm making progress on my own therefore she didn't augment with pitocin again. I was sleeping when a sharp pain on my right hand side woke me up! I knew they were contractions and was happening fast! Mehn! I couldn't bear, had to quickly call the anaethesiologist again that I'm not supposed to fill pain but this is the situation. She immediately gave me a relief dose and found out that the main dose was finished so they replaced it and slept back.

At 5pm, doctor came back to check and once I opened my legs, she screamed "Look at the baby's head" Everyone had to quickly dress up, take down the bottom part of the bed and then she said in one push, your baby will be out! It was just like a dream cos I was chatting with my husband on whatsapp while labouring! I gave a push, baby's head popped out; they suctioned and brought her out. It was so quick that I didn't even have time to take pictures! Wao!!! My baby was out just like that ! They placed her on my body, delayed cord clamping later did and asked for another push and placenta was delivered. Tears of joy were just rolling down my eyes! She was then taken away by her paediatrician. She weighed 3.5kg and I had her at 40wks + 1day. I had a small tear in my previous episiotomy spot which they quickly stitched up. My doctor did an excellent job there! No single pain from episiotomy unlike when I had my son! Bowel movements are excellent. I don't even feel as though I had one.

This time around, I was lot stronger than when I had my son. No post partum pains, tommy is going inside even without doing all those traditional remedies. Infact yesterday, I even went shopping for food items.

I'm most grateful to God because I hear of speedy delivery; me too I have experienced it.

To my teamies on the way, see the brighter picture ahead! We shall all come back rejoicing with our babies in our arms in Jesus name. Amen. No Loss will be recorded in this team !!!!

luscioustrish:
Please how long does the catheter stays before it falls off,it's been inserted since 1:20pm?

It shall end in praise for you sweetheart ! See the brighter picture and forget catheter altho I don't even know how it works I'm waiting for the good news
