Naomi14:I've gone ooo. We are still here. . I refuse to think about it. I'm ready when my baby is ready to come. It shall end in praise. Thanks for your concern. |
@ 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. |
Naomi14:Amen. I'm anticipating too. When the rain permits, I'll head to the hospital to get checked make I no born for house because I dey wait for serious contractions. Thanks |
hernyhorla:JESU , 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. |
Prodormal labor wanna finish itself although my contractions are not painful. My baby wants to break records as my first child that stayed till my edd. He's busy applying mascara and co while dad and mum can't wait to meet him. I keep checking the edd of July mamas that have given birth. Congratulations spiceeaimee. Thank God it ended in praise. We'll join you guys soonest. |
Eminya:It's only God that knows. I know someone that had her first @38w, 2nd @ 40w, 3rd @ 40+5. I had my first @39w, 2nd @38w, 3rd @ 36+5 and no 4 is still applying lipgloss and foundation. Tomorrow is my edd. |
Benignasweety:Did you show her/us your own sugar pinini? ![]() |
edithodg:Try hot water with grated ginger plus original honey. It could also be that your body is telling you that labor is near. |
FortuneTeller: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. |
Burntcoal: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. |
Niyyah:Congratulations. Thank God for the safe delivery. Yesterday after Bbglory's BA, While going through our roll call, i had this feeling you'll soon announce yours. Thank God it ended in praise. |
Giddyperson: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. Cc Damisinto |
I used to have a spotless bump but from nowhere I got all these black spots. Hope it clears when I offload. |
Queen1:Bashing? 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. |
realtalk19: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. |
@ 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. |
Kimlad:This journey is very personal ooo. The only thing that matters is the mother and baby alive and healthy. |
jazzyjazz: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. |
jazzyjazz:Please, can I have some pancakes. ![]() |
July our month of perfection is here. Congratulations @ lululuv. God bless you and yours. I'm super excited for this month.

He will turn your sorrow to joy and beauty for ashes. Join us as we celebrate the birth of our los and tap into this grace. Teamjulyforbeautifulbabies, sharpsharpdeliveries, successfulstories, plenty money, miraclebabies, testimonysharers. I'm so excited for this month ![]() |
nicoleswizzi: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. |
Here comes July talalala Our month of divine fulfillment. It can only end in praise and congratulations. Thank you Jesus |
[quote author=lotannad1 post=57951486][/quote]Kpele dear. I can imagine. My belle is long and curvy too. No position is comfortable anymore. The worst is that I have minus zero libido because kpekus works well for me. My cervix is still closed and posterior. Anyway, I have party rice to eat on Saturday maybe after that I'll enter Favour room. @ spiceaimee, it will soon be over. More grace. Congratulations @ nneejima. We rejoice with your family. Thank God it ended in praise. |

nicoleswizzi:Ok. Thanks. |
nicoleswizzi: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. |
mizz2posh:It's a lie. . Na you be d real MVP. What exactly did you do? Share your tips abeg. I'm dreading pp body. Hope I get back my body too. Your baby is cute |
