soonest:
I will advise you open account for the newborn. I did for my 3. I usually open with all monetary gifts they receive before and @ dedication. My mum did for me and handed it over to me when I turned 18. Cheers

Awwww! that's so sweet of your mum

I've learnt one for my children

hotmomma:
My able mamas, i greet everyone. Please i have an issue that has been on my mind for a while now, and i wish i could get some input. When should a mum start saving something for the child.
Also is it advisable to open an account for a newborn considering the fact that you might not have access to that account til the child is 18 or has the policy changed.
Or should i just be putting the money in my account, what if unseen expenses crops up. Please i feel some mamas here are already saving. I need inputs please.

Yes, it is advisable. I put aside a portion for my son each month. You can operate the account till he's of age and hand over to him. It will be linked to your account so you can always see it.

veleta:

Lots of love
Agi

Most senior mama

Two hands in the air for you ! Thanks for popping in to say hello

limsycutey:
With my first, my cut was sutured without numbing it, it was so damn painful. Thoughtless doctors! So this time I told my doctor specifically and he numbed it with lidocaine before stitching.

exactly, lidocaine should do the trick. Absolute wickedness to suture someone without anesthesia.

lastbornop:
Good Evening to all Mamas in d house!
I need urgent advice from all sabi mamas. Presently in d Hospital wit a report of big baby FTM (3.9kg) wch mks it diff for baby to drop into pelvis as it seems smaller than baby.
Given an option of CS or induction wch myt still ends in CS as baby seems too big for a FTM.

Irony is ds, av never been scared of child birth, am d tough kindda person and av been dreaming of birthing my baby mysef but wif ds........

I need an advice, can a FTM birth an estimated baby of 3.9kg

sweetie, opt for CS so you don't av multiple vaginal tears in an attempt to bring out baby. All the best with your decision and God be with you.

waiting to hear the good news and congratulations in advance.

realdentist:
very good point u raised o. I don't know why they don't give LA before suturing episiotomy. as if we're animals

mydreams25:
My thoughts exactly,am praying for a VBAC with this pregnancy and am so determined to ask the doctor in my hospital this particular question. I think they should numb the area but am not experienced in it.

Blessedmum:
I think it depend on hospital, I already asked them at my clinic and they said they do.

portable4real:
Some hospital gave while some did not. most Govt Hospitals and teaching gave LA.

But some private will give silly excuse to convince patient dat if it is given d site will not heal on time and vice versa.

But some mamas still complains of pain with it,, which I think is due to Individual physiological make up and pain threshold.

O my goodness! I've been trying to get my head around it. Someone like me, I'm never going to cooperate! My pain threshold is ZERO ! Even to ripen my cervix, i sent the nurse away after 1st attempt...lol. Subsequently, they had to knock me off to insert the tabs because I cried as though I was bringing down the hospital. Then came epidural and VE was a success all through

Dear mamas, please insist that they numb the area before the suturing. Anesthesia does not affect any healing process. The pain afterwards is enough trauma for you.

To ease episiotomy pains, you can do the following:

1. look for witchhazel spray and use on your pads, it numbs the pain
2. anytime you urinate, use water to spray your jajaina
3. ice packs are very helpful too
4. Personally, the sitz bath is too small for me. I prefer my bath tub filled with hot water and I immense myself inside. I also add epsom salt to the water. some people say kitchen salt does the trick too. This was my absolute pain reliever.

i wonder what kind of stitches dey use that they keep saying water will spoil it

Congrats to all the mamas that gave birth! God bless your lil ones.

I'm a bit worried about somethings I hear, pls I need to know! Don't they give anaesthesia before suturing your episiotomies in Nigeria

I've heard several people share their bs and said the suturing was more painful than labor

Now this is gross if they don't! Mamas pls clear the air for me. That area should be numbed with a localised anaesthesia at least.

Thank you Lovinam!

jazzyjazz:

Na to use my bump intimidate people remain. Lol

You made an 18hrs flight with a 34wks pregnancy? I troway salute for you oh!

34wks pregnancy + 16months old toddler

U av notin to fear my dear. I still made anoda 4hrs flight in country.

Enjoy ur trip!

Jazzyjazz, enjoy your trip gal! It's even double fun for u cos it's honeymoon + babymoon

Dis is one of the best times for you to fly; u don't need a fit to fly and dubai isn't far. Just last week, I made a 18hrs flight with a 34wks pregnancy! I've done dis twice and d issue watsoeva. I'm sure u've had an uneventful pregnancy all along.

Take a aisle seat, keep some crackers in your bag, drink lots and lots of water while onboard on the aircraft.

If your bump is showing, walk straight to the business class or priority queue so u don't stand too long. Do that at every opportunity you get... *one of the things I love about being preggy and travellin*.

Leave MS mata and d weakness and focus on your trip. Take great pictures, enjoy the tours and have the best of times

Feddy, I dnt even know where to start. How do i contact MD mums n texas mama's need to get ideas on current cost n how to go abt it

Hi, to search for any info, you can make use of the search button. Eg, type maryland hospital and narrow the search to hospitals. You will find some things. Besides, read back some pages behind; some people just talked about MD hospitals here. Also, try to read the past threads, get a jotter cos it's not a day's job. When you find info from someone you need, you can click on the name of the person and read more posts.

Summary of all: READ, READ, READ

Nobody will make choices for you. Spend the next days reading the thread from Part 1. You will be better equipped

Maureensylvia, Helovesme just spoke my mind! You are not in a position to judge anyone. Besides, it's not compulsory to help, if you ain't comfortable with it, press your ignore button and move forward.

She has received Enuf tongue lashing on dis issue. I'm sure the situation ws overwhelming for her b4 she decided to seek help.

Coming here to say her facebook profile says wateva is absolutely rubbish ! Leave her conscience to judge her. If you won't help, also endeavor not to add to her predicaments.
