@ lululuv, hope you are resting well. If you can, leave house chores for now and rest.
Concerning the epi site, hope you didn't use hot water on it. Continue your sitz bath with warm water and get checked in the hospital if you feel something is wrong.

@ nneejima, both of them are good it's a matter of preference and availability of money.

@ comtem111, am so sorry for your loss. The best is yet to come. Remain strong.

BA
To the glory of God , I welcome my Prince Charming at 40 +1 weeks on Thursday 6th July @about 10.35pm through VD with small perineum episiotomy (about 2 stitches) weighing 5.04kg as against estimated weight of 3.7kg from scan as at last Friday.

I bless the name of God for this beautiful testimony and this shall go round for the remaining waddling mothers in Jesus name .

BS coming soon.

JESU cool cool, 5 Gini?
Congratulations teamie. He shall be a blessing to your home.
I do tell people that it's really not the weight of a baby that causes episiotomy but the expertise of the midwife, the cooperation of the woman and how spontaneous the labor is.

For the people drinking Lipton for small babies, when you see what it has done to some Babies ehh, you will never near it. Eat healthy and in moderation that's the key. Our vagina was made for this.

FortuneTeller:
You are right that your wickedness and evil words will fall on deaf ears. Nigerians need to stop engaging in child slavery. You wonder why the country seems cursed. It's not a cursed country. It's the wickedness that lies in the heart of many people who live there. No first world or developed country allows child labor like Nigeria. Hire an adult or get an adult family member to assist you. You are not fostering a child. You are stealing the child of their joy. It is out of pure laziness and poverty that someone could take someone else's child and employ them as slave labor. You can continue to talk, but as long as you continue to defend child slavery, I know that you will never be blessed in this lifetime. Wickedness will only beget wickedness for you and anyone who engages in such devil acts.
Why are you taking this matter so personal to the extent of cursing yourself that you'll never be blessed. Can't you just make your point without cursing someone. You obviously have some problem.
An irresponsible drunk has 7 children that can barely eat a meal per day and a relative takes one of the children and trains him/ her. The child becomes someone in life, and helps the other siblings. Does this look like wickedness to you. Some of these children are taken care of than some children that are growing up with their parents. This has been a form of adoption in this part of the world. It's not slavery.
If you can't take care of the children like your own, please don't carry them.

morning mamas, and all July mummy's we shall all deliver our bundles of joy in peace and in good health without complications. well I advent checked the sex, BT d baby is still in breech, dh, mil and everyone is praying and hoping for a miracle. edd is July 29th.

well my question is lately I urinate frequently at midnight even b4 I get to d toilet it will start to trickle down.

den again I poo a lot too like twice in d morning.

I av painful abdominal pains dat comes ones a while maybe its her leg because of d position

despite d fact its breech, the baby kicks like its training tym for FIFA world cup. she just sat down dia like no one's biz. I really need her to turn.
Hmmm. It is well. Whatever happens, it will surely end in praise.

You can still try some of these exercises hopefully the baby will still turn.

1. Lying on your back, put pillows about 10-12 inches under your hips for 10mins 3 times a day.
2. Get on your knees in a crawling position and rock your hips.
3. Get to a knee to chest position i.e get on your knees, with your hips in the air, your chest and head on the floor for about 15 minutes several times a day.
Talk to your baby. Play soft music around your abdomen/ cervix. Put cold things where the head is and warm things in the lower abdomen. Hope for the best.

You can still google for more tips. Whatever the outcome, be strong and courageous, God gat you.

Giddyperson:
The tightening you feel are contractions, Braxton hicks contractions cuz they ain't serious or regular, at 37 weeks you would prolly feel lots of BH contractions and little movement (cuz no more space). Even at this, make sure you feel the baby move atleast two or three times a day, if not you might want to do a scan just to be extra sure he's fine.
Sorry I'm quoting this. Kick count is actually 10. If you can get up to 10 kicks within 2 hours then it's ok per day.
By now, you will know when your baby is most active or drink/ take sweet things then sit quietly leaning on a chair and count.

Out of peeping mode today, hi mamas! so my dd is crawling and holding unto things to stand up at 6months. before I get bashed I'm not exaggerating and I had absolutely nothing to do with it didn't even start putting her to sit till she was about 4 months. I think she's moving too fast o... what do you guys think biko? zaynie feddy2 alphahandmaden onegai and other sabi mamas
Bashing? shocked why will anyone do that? Your baby is developing very normal. Like you said she's doing it on her own it's not like you are forcing it. She's just a strong and smart girl. Crawling is not an easy skill.
The truth is that each child develops at his/her own pace. She may be an early walker. I only frown at those that try to make babies without neck control sit at 2 months or making 4 months olds with wobbly legs stand because they feel they can help them walk on time.
Your baby doing all these at her age also proves that you don't have to start forcing your baby to sit too early for her to crawl or pull to stand early. Once you allow the core muscles to develop well every other thing falls into place.

hi mums. plz wat can i do to my bruised nipples. my baby boy sucked it sore right from the 4th day i delivered him and its been a month now .my nipples isnt healing at all.it gets bruised each time he sucks and its giving me fever and severe pains.

av used luke warm salt water to mop d nipples and applyed mentholatum but still no improvement.

how can my nipples heal?
my sons gums is sharp and firm.hes aggresive when about sucking.
Maybe he's not latching on well.
For the bruised nipple, air it. You can rub your breast milk on it allow it to dry on it. You can also use some of these nipple cream or Sheabutter or olive oil. I think mentholatum aggrivated the issue.
You can also express and give him at interval so that your nipple can heal.
HealthRe: Pregnancy Are You Pregnant Or Going Through A High Risk Pregnancy,,lets Talk by Graciouscharis: 7:47am On Jul 04, 2017
@ lululuv, he's so cute.
For the breast, it's normal for your breast to feel engorged on the third day. Use warm water to massage it. You can apply olive oil or coconut oil on your nipple and gently pull it out. You can also use these cheap manual breast pump to bring it out.
You can use your index and middle fingers to flatten the nipple so he can grasp it but make sure d areola enters the mouth especially the one behind the nipple then squeeze in breast milk in his mouth to entice him to suck.
Don't relent in putting the baby to breast. He's learning to latch on and will soon master it.
Hope this helps.

@ enque, I don't think a little diluted orange juice once in a while is bad.
Concerning the water issue, my children don't like sippy cups. They either use straw cups or normal adult cups. You can actually try giving her water from your cup or try these disposable cups that make noise. She may like it. Hope this helps.

Mama's Abeg help me ooooo
Since my son's tooth came out my ni.pples have been on fire o
This boy will bite, chew, then bite and pull the poor ni.pples as if na ponmo embarassed
What can I do o
When he bites you, gently pull out the breast from his mouth, look into his face and tell him NO Biting. You can tap the cheeks or legs and talk to him. If he continues, stop breastfeeding him at the moment, talk to him and continue later. If he starts crying, cuddle him and tell him biting hurts but please don't cave in. You'll be surprised he understands and knows what he's doing.
This is how they start testing your patience. It's part of motherhood.

nicoleswizzi:
What causes this bow leg sef...is lack of d right vaccine or what...
So many things causes it.
1. Lack of vit D and calcium.
2. Blount's disease.
3. Putting pressure on the leg or forcing the baby to bear weight on the leg when the baby is not ready. This includes early use of walkers.
4. Overweight in babies.
5. Hereditary.

1,3,4 can correct with proper management.

Majority of all these are caused by the baby carers. Sometimes I wonder why new moms will not allow their babies to grow normally. Some try to use them to satisfy their useless egos.
Why are you putting a 4-6 months old baby to stand or putting a 2 months old baby to sit? Where are you rushing to? The baby's bones are not fully developed at birth. It's soft and can easily be shaped or disfigured and forcing some of these things will create problems for them later on.
Nowadays you see 10 year olds complaining of waist pain, lumbar this and that, these children never start life ooo. Please mamas, they major thing you need to do for a 0-3 months old baby is tummy time and body massage. If you get this right, you won't need to train your baby to for two weeks and they sit upright and helps them to crawl.
Forget all those people that boast that their baby walked at 5 months or started sitting at 2 months. It doesn't make them much better it just boosts the parents useless ego. Every child will still reach that milestone. Some start sitting their babies at 2 months but the child will get a hang of it at 5 months while some of us starts at 3-4 months and within one week the baby is a pro.
I don't even want to talk about some of the heavy shoes some mamas wear their babies in the name of fashion.

These are my personal opinion, anyone can choose to raise their child however they choose.

Please, @ nicoleswizzi, I'm not saying you do all these, I had to quote you because of your question.

Madam, if you don't eat well, your body will hold on to the fats because it doesn't know when you'll eat again thereby you'll be training your body to retain weight. Starving has never been a way to control weight. Eat small portions of healthy food several times a day that way, you'll trick your body into believing that there'll always be a replacement and it increases your metabolism.
Aside that, pregnancy has a way of wrecking some people's hormones. Give yourself sometime for your hormones to readjust. If after about 6 months you are still putting on weight despite all efforts, you may need to check your thyroxine level as this has a way of keeping you fat.

I just decided to quote you hoping someone will find this helpful although you've choose to ignore my mentions.
