awwwwwwwww.so much love.shout out to you all.i love you all.

my dear, I'm just back from the hospital and they said once more that it is normal.. that baby is engaging abi navigating it's way through.
I was told the pain will be worse than this if it is labour and I'm seriously scared.
please I need to hear the pros and cons vaginal delivery and cs.Is CS pain free?

Scared? Hmmm you don't need that so as not to elevate ur bp. Is labour painful? Yes it is, I have to be sincere cos I vex for people wey lie give me BUT as soon as my baby was out, the pain vanished. Had episiotomy but I didn't feel the pain during and after the stitching, I guess it was the kind of pain killers administered. You can do this, your body was meant for this but pls listen to your doctor. Its well...

Feddy27, the lactogen you talked about, pls does it contain much sugar? As I don't wanna give my baby formula that is so sweet. your reviews about the product pls.

Giddyperson, no worry my dear, it would be better than you expected and if it gets to cs, pls keep an opened mind, tot I would have cs till my 37th week when my gynae confirmed I wouldn't due to some issues and a nurse told me that normal delivery meant mum and child safe no matter the mode of delivery
Just kpekus cos that what triggered my own contractions
What I feel you should be bothered about is do you have enough frozen soups and stews in the freezer cos when your baby comes... Hmmm... No be you get yourself oh!

Giddyperson:
Yeah that's the problem, all these ftm induction stories I read always end up ending up in the theatre. I really hope labour starts on it's own b4 then

Please keep positive, not all ftm induction stories end up in the theatre, mine didn't, infact in four sweet hours, I had my ds in my arms. Just pray and have a positive mindset. Its well.

hello mamas.. ..I am a ftm.. I ll resume my 9 to 5 work nxt week and i must say, i am not prepared at all.. i am agitated leaving my lo (3mths) in d creche at such tender age.. I am even thinking of getting a nanny to take care of him at home.. wch one is better? my LO is both on breastmilk n formula..
I am so worried dat i am contemplating resignation.. Please , i need ur advice .. thk u

Ehen ehen ehen! Resign kee? Sis abeg e never reach. Many mamas here are working and coping fine so would you.
Getting a random nanny to stay home with a child is a no no for me
Look for a good creche esp attached to a school and be a generous mummy pray hard and everything would fall in place.

Mamas membrane sweep isn't that bad joor, where it can be very painful is if its done with your very first vag examination or if the Gynae fingers are gigantic but relief comes as soon as possible. Kpele, the most important thing is your baby in your arms.

Zimunachimdi, any multivitamin available and affordable is OK, even if its just folic acid and these brown hospital multivite is ok and also...

Zimunachimdi, ranting over slim size wow, I don get my size mate for here but diff is I so love the size. Mama, I guess its the thing of the mind. Do you have adequate rest? Do you have any issues bothering you? These things can affect you as person including your outlook not necessarily your size now. You can be veryslim but fresh and facially "alive" if you get what I mean.
Do you take multivitamins too? It helps a lot. Cheers dear.

Dazzle86, wow congrats, I remember your moniker from TTC thread. God bless you dear and you will deliver safely in Jesus name amen.

@hotmomma that aveeno body shower is it good for new born?

Yeah I use aveeno baby wash and shampoo, with the lotion and soothing relief diaper rash cream for my baby and yeah its verrrrrry good.

Chanbaby, if you have energy to continue exclusive, pls do. Your baby is fine. Start taking multivitamin to bring back your appetite and rest well. Plenty pap and milk , then swallow better semo or EBA or amala
And yes I am exclusively breast feeding too

FaithisallIhave, a lot of women were one way or the other in this your situation until various ways were sought out to escape the burden, yeah its a burden to put down cash and the other finds way of not putting in his own contribution.
You are a good wife to even offer to partpay d rent cos e no easy.

Sis, youve got to stop acting independent else you would get worn out and get old. Express it to him that you are not finding it funny to d extent you can't buy basic stuff for yourself like wearing same shoes, same hairstyle(while you made crochet braids that normally should stay long on your hair or braid wigs, do you catch my drift?)

Layout your monthly household expenses, inclusing baby diapies, wipes and clothes,monetize it, (pls I don't believe in equality sharing of financial responsibility cos am an oriaku but hey we are different), then as soon as his alert drops let him send it to your Acc asap cos if the money reach next day for that Acc, story fit enter am.

Get an ajo in your office and save like tomorrow no dey.
And pls if he doesn't appreciate you, abeg appreciate yourself, lol, at times if I need appreciation or admiration and I don't get, I tell him to his face "baby, you are lucky oh that you have a wife like me if you like no tell me I no say I be hotmomma lol" and the fun and appreciation flows in. My dear dont sweat it joo. We women are stronger than we can imagine.

Also do something small with your money, some times this can calm your nerves, like get a new short certificate course if you are a bookie, buy a new phone, make that hairstyle you've always wanted, some thing not to expensive but rewarding to you that you have your own money.
Kai I don type too much.

And last but most importantly, YOU ARE A GOOD WIFE

Sugah, yeah, I experienced some bleeding for like two weeks sha before the thing normalize.

Nana228, aww... Your story made me awwwww

Ah, mummy atinuke abeg I seriously jump and pass for now but I will humbly say back to sender.


_#runsaway

Kai, all these fine fine bumps make me wanna
Abeg make I carry my kaya commot before the thing fly reach me now.

Happy bumping mamas

Yesitsme, don't be too upset about how your mom is acting, why not talk to her or humbly assign duties to her like, mum pls help me hold baby while I do something inside, express or package food in bottle for your baby and catch some sleep or stretch your body. Don't expect too much for her but appreciate the little she does. You can say, mummy that your delicious egusi soup dey hungry us oh, pls help us make it. Massage her ego and watch her do things for you. Appreciate her by praising the little things she does. About washing clothes or bottles, abeg do dem at you pace or better still throw them dirty cloths in a washing machine. God bless washing machine inventor
You mustn't sweep every morning, ensure everyone throws dirt inside the dustbin, manage cook in bulk and store so that you won't cook everyday.
Kpele my dear.

Iomoge2, see food for baby abeg give reviews on those foods abeg.

Yesitsme, I am so excited to write what my mum does now that she is still on omugwo. My baby is her top priority. She bathes, carries, feeds and plays with him all day and night, yes night cos she takes him to bed and flashes me when he wanna feed she is such a darl but she would soon end the omugwo on demand she cooks fingerlicking dishes.

Nb: really depends on relationship oh, my mom has always been my first val

Dharyor1234, sent you a pm

dharyor1234:
Lastly, sorry that my posts are usually long...my urine was tested and both protein and glucose was detected therein...pls MAMAs in the house is there any thing i can do or take to rememdy it

Mama, had to quote this, if the above was found in d urine and the hospital did nothing for you, abeg look for another hospital fast.

Chanbaby, you have to keep trying brands till u get the one your baby's skin would accept, my baby reacted to cussions within a week till I changed to another and we are kul now, pears baby oil for hair is good and pocket friendly. Agnesia powder is good for rashes too. Cheers

nikkishola:
Yes, pelvimetry! But is it still advisable for me to do because this is my second preg. Though am feeling this is bigger than the 1st preg.

My dear, I would advice you let your Gynae bring it up, there is always an indication before a gynae would ask you to do a pelvimetry (ct or xray) depending on his choice. So far you've had a baby thru vd before, I don't really think you would need to again unless your Gynae says so. Cheers.

Queensnow, uti means urinary tract infection.

Nikkishola, pelvimetry I suppose is what you are talking about, its recommended by some Gynae depending on some situations, ct and xray pelvimetry. Pls don't be scared if your Gynae asks you to do it, yeah, its done at 36weeks and its painless unless its d one dem dey do with hand, well ..

Mummyjj, pls move to the hospital now, uti shouldn't be joked with or treated without docs prescription. Its well.

Abbynhummy, madam calm down, what will be will be, if you find yourself in a difficult situation like this and you don't know what else to do, talk to your creator, he holds the heart of kings. Cheers.

Helovesme, why don't you consider counselling, lady you have your way with words, your writeups are always encouraging to read. Pls keep it up.

Mumsjoy, congrats, God bless you and your baby.

Twogreatnations, thanks mama, will check it out. God bless you.

Helovesme, thanks for your detailed response. God bless you

Good morning mamas, please where can I get aveeno baby wash and shampoo here on the mainland Lagos? Abeg no read and pass oh.

Olamitie, congrats, get a camera breast pump, very cheap and good too.

Eribooboo, eeya sorry, I had that experience of baby rejecting feeding bottles but nw he takes it, look for a bottle with very soft nipple. Some brands accommodate such. Cheers.

Divie, hope you don't stay around people that annoy you or regularly put you on edge? That can also cause swollen feet. Sounds odd right? Just eliminate this factor and watch your feet
