Good evening, please I want to ask what type of cereal can I buy for a 6 months old baby?
She's has started taking amala, beans & rice but she's not taking Pap. So I'm thinking what cereal I can introduce to her.

Good morning my sisters. Trust everybody is rocking it. God is your strength. Save delivery injn.
I'm experiencing something like liquid drip via my veejay. I'm just 2months & few days post delivery via CS. It happened last week for few hours & stopped. It has started again since midnight. Pls is it normal for people that have delivered via CS b4?
Thanks

BS BS BS ( Part 3)

At Week 10, scan showed one of the twins has stopped growing at Week 7. Since then my heart always pound anytime I go for scan. As a result of this , I kept the pregnancy news to myself. None of my family members knew including my mum who stayed with me I only told them after I was admitted for 9 days to monitor my blood sugar so there was no way I couldn't tell them why I was in the hospital because they were scared . 10 days after I told my mum, she passed on.

The pregnancy was pretty easy, no nausea, no vomiting, no food nor smell adversion . The only thing was the bitter taste on my mouth .

From day 1, my consultant has stated I will deliver via CS due to age, so on Week 37 and 6 days I headed to the hospital but the teaching hospital was on strike so had to use a private hospital. The CS was pretty fast, within 5 mins I heard the cry of my baby , only the stitching took time .I was 45yrs, 3 month and 14 days old.

I was discharged 2 days later immediately it was certified my daughter didn't have jaundice.

Yesterday was her naming ceremony, indeed it was worth it and God is God .

Hmm, you're a strong woman. Congratulations. Speedy recovery injn

To the June - December mamas safe delivery injn

Timitoyo:
Mamas pls help , I have not been lactating since . What can I do pls ?

Massage the breast wt hot water then rub adin (coconut oil) on it. Milk will com

May mamas how u na dey? Hope we all done put to bed?

sugarcoatted:


Rob kwa!!!. Sorry ma if i might sound offensive but some of the things you have been posting that you administered to your child seems very odd. I hope you dont end up harming that innocent baby.

Exclusively breastfed babies can go several days without pooping. Its totally normal

What do you mean by odd? If I know I wouldn't come here to ask? I'm a yoruba & administering rob is one of the ways they use in this case. So if I'm asking its because I want to be enlighten

Good morning ma, my baby (she'll be in months old on 3th) has not poop since 4days ago. I dip Rob in her anus 3days ago so she later poop at night. Since then till now she hasn't poop again. She's feeding exclusively & actively sucking.
Pls is it normal? Have anyone experienced it? Thanks

Temtemmie:

Yes I did sis....

Congrats sis

ifedayoifedapo:
I need you all to help me out with strategies to use in marketing my new products.

I manufacture bar soap and cold water starch. I wish to bring in those guys that sell in traffic and those who can go around to market my products.

The idea I am having is that these guys get their products on credit and remmit later. My business is still at the early stage and i cant afford to loose money to the fast guys who may not come back.

As a matter of fact, I do not wish to sell to them on credit.

What measures can i put in place to get marketers and also ensure no one get away with my money?

Uncle Lalastical, don't limit me o, i need a lot of people to see this

This is my problem now. I'm starting a soap business & looking for a way to get customers. Pls people comment on it

Eniwunmi:
BS BS

I had already typed my BS last week and it somehow disappeared 😰

Anyways, so my pregnancy was smooth from the beginning, my morning sickness wasn’t so bad I was basically okay but 3rd trimester came with it’s own stress, the heaviness and I was eating so much around the 8th month😁😁and I also noticed that my feet was swelling and everyone I asked said it was because I was close to my due date. On the 2nd of May, when I woke up, I noticed that my face was very swollen and in my mind I just knew that wasn’t normal, I called the hospital and they asked me to come so they can check it & one of my aunts said it’s normal & that is how she always gets swollen when she’s almost due & I shouldn’t go to the hospital just yet.

As a first time mom, i agreed and thought I was probably overreacting and I just chilled since I had my midwife appointment on the 4th, I decided to wait till the 4th.

On getting to my midwife, she tested my urine & she said I had alot of protein in my urine- protein +++ & she checked my BP which was also extremely high so she told me to go to the hospital immediately, I went home & carried my bag just in case but I felt fine just heavy and very tired. On reaching the hospital, they did a repeat test and took my blood and when the results came back they said I had preeclampsia and that they had to take my baby out that day. They said they were going to try to regulate my blood pressure and if it comes down, they’ll induce me but if it doesn’t they were going to take the baby out via CS.

So, they started pumping me with blood pressure medication, the BP did not come down and so they said I had to make a decision for the CS, I told them I felt okay and begged to come back if they would release me because I wasn’t ready..they refused & said it would be risky for me & my baby as it was already affecting my kidney…I just thank God, my prince was born 5:53pm on Thursday the 4th of May and we are both doing fine,taking it one day at a time. (This BS is for me and segxi-that’s hubbys account & the correct DOB is 4th of May.

Wishing every other May mamas safe delivery❤️

Congr to both of you. More strength

Temtemmie:
The lord has remembered I and my family...
My boy is here...he was delivered some mins to 1 this morning at 3.6 kg and with little tear...

Temtemmie:

I am just sooooooo tired
Safe delivery to us all

@Temtemmie did you gave birth yesterday 16th May? because yesterday was my birthday ooo. Been looking for birth mate oo. Safe delivery

Lewalemanto:
Good day Mamas
I take cold water a lot because of the hot weather. I was advised to stop so that when I give birth my baby won't experience cough and cattarh.

Is it true or mere superstition?

It's not true because I found satisfaction in taking cold & chilled water wen I was pregnant but till now my baby hasn't developed any form of catar as they said. However moderation is the key. Save delivery

Julietchy:
I'm so tired, I wish I can port to May.

Pele.. Remaining just little

Goldenheart002:

Sorry sis, just endure it... My BP then was 160/90 & I have a history of constant sharp pain on my chest which once it start it usually affects my breathing & movements so I was really worried.

[bhh

indian03:


From your BS, you were already 8cm and you requested for CS. I wanted to ask y oo. Cos you said doctor told you to hold on a little longer 🤔. Though me too at that point i used to shout for CS but normally the doctor and nurses know its because of the pain. Was there any complications which made you chose it ? Maybe i missed it. Sorry for taking you back

Baby was already depressed besides I had high BP which I've been managing since week 23

Lewalemanto:


I will advise you wait till two years. My first child was through CS. I got pregnant again when he was a year and six months. Doctor advised CS again because it wasn't up to two years I had my first CS.

Wow, this CS is something oo. My fear y I rejected it in the first place but thank God it ended in praise. Thanks mama

izaray:
Relax your mind and get heal first, for affliction will not repeat itself again. God has open your womb for fruitfulness already so you gat no worries. Congratulations ma'am

Amen.. Thank youuuuuuuuu

sugarcoatted:


Most doctors say you need to wait atleast 1yr and 6months before getting pregnant if you want to try vbac. Anything earlier, they might not want to risk it.

OK. Aiit. Thnxx

NwamakaHalie:
Mamas please I have an issue oo...
I want to Exclusively breastfeed my baby, but I'm not lactating well, I don't even have appetite to eat well, I don't know what to do...I need your advice...thank you

Drink more of Pap, I heard it helps in lactating. If the breast isn't soft enough for milk to come you can use adin(Palm Kernel) don't know if I get it right. Deep towel in hot water & Massage the breast then rub the adin. Trust me milk will come out. That's wat I used

Please I have some questions......

..... My baby poops lik 2 - 3 times at night before daybreak but may poo like once or twice during the day. I am exclusively breastfeeding. She'll be a month old by Saturday - Pls is this normal?


....hmmm 2ndly...... Abeg nobody should laugh oooo
How long should one wait before trying to conceive again after a c section?
I'm asking because I've waited 8 yrs b4 having this precious baby so I REALLY dont want anything that'll cause delay (TTC) again.
And what are the chances of having a VBirth after a c section?
Pls Sabi Mama's help your girl out. L4t me be planning for the future.
Thanks always

Birth announcement!!!
I gave birth 5th may at 11:30pm, weighing 3.1 edd 31st may. Immediately my placenta came out, I started bleeding uncontrollably, the doctors did all they could do to stop the bleeding to no avail, everyone running helter scatter, Anastasia did not work, I was being stitched like that, at about 1am I was rushed to ubth, the struggle continued there, i lost so much blood, I have been given 4 pints of blood so far. My baby is in the hospital I gave birth, while I am in ubth. In all I thank God because the devil has been put to shame already. Long birth story will come as soon as I reunite with my princess.

Congratulations. Thank God for the he has taken control of the situation. Speedy healing injn

Wow, wow, congrats

Boliboli760:
.Birth story; Shortest version (Still working on the longer one with back story). But just thought this might help someone in the meantime.

PS; I know this is an abroad birth story but i hoped you all will receive it well . It might not be relatable but it can be empowering.
- Pregnancy went on smoothly with no complications. Did all the test and scans no problem. What I did different this time around was refused to be consultant led . In UK, once you've had one CS or more you can't be midwife led. I pushed seeing the consultant (doctor) till about 38weeks . And of course they suggested CS, for no reason other than My previous births were CS. And it will be best for both of us. They convinced me to book one for 40weeks and 3 days. When the day arrived I didn't turn up cos I was already getting few contractions here and there but nothing major. They gave me another date, but I insisted they should give me a date when I am over 42 weeks. So they found a date for Tuesday when I will be 42 weeks 4 days .
On Sunday, went for pre op; they took blood samples. I requested for a cervical check,they declined saying consultant wrote it in my note no cervicalcheck (meaning they don't want to offer me any help other than the CS). I felt defeated leaving the hospital, tears rolling down my eyes while curb walking. Just I stopped for a car to pass by, the lady driver popped her head out of the car and said "Keep going you can do this ". Chai that brought more tears and I said to myself can I really do this. Well ,wiped my tears before getting to hubby in the cafe, I googled Starbucks labour drink and I ordered large. We had a nice chat, walked for over an hour buying groceries mainly things I will take to hospital to eat after the CS.

BIRTH; Got home ,we ate and watched movie with the kids. Everybody's mind was settled knowing the baby will come on Tuesday via elective CS. So we were alot more relaxed, watched TV and just had a nice family time. Meanwhile, I just thought to myself why not try one last thing which I knew about but I had tried way too early in the last Pregnancy but just had false labour. I said to myself the worst that can happen is have false contractions and it will stop before I head to bed. WELL THAT DID NOT HAPPEN THIS TIME.
30th of April 2023
- 4:30pm ; For 15mins I walked up and down the stairs doing different stairs exercises I saw online.(Most uk houses have indoor stairs).

- 5:22 pm; 60ml CASTER OIL, blended with 1 cup of brewed raspberry leaf tea , and 1 pinapple core and cup of water. With ice
- finished at 5;50 pm
- diaharria(sorry TMI) 3 times
- Really massive strong contraction begins at 10:20pm
- I set up diffuser with clary sage oil to intensify contractions and managed to eat just 1 piece of date. Had my ewedu out of freezer incase things got intense(never had it).
- By 11 pm I was in the bath and hubby was using shower pressure on my back cos Contractions was crazy. I had only had paracetamol when contractions started and was using my breathing techniques and listening to meditation I saw on YouTube.
- While in the bath on all fours, I heard a pop and told hubby I think my water 💧 just broke and he said I think so too oh cos the bath water has changed. It has some mucus and very small bloody show.
- All these has never happened to us before, but I knew at that moment no going back now. We are definitely having this baby. I was only having as little as 30secs btw strong contractions. We had a toddler who refused to sleep as was distracted and as well fascinated by mummy screaming her head off cos at this point breathing technique no work.
- I told hubby to call the hospital, in my head I was thinking how will I sit in the car with this crazy contractions. But good thing is hubby called the ambulance instead and they were telling him what to do . The next thing I heard him say when he checked down below was, I can see hair. In my head I was like you say what? That was when I knew I was definitely having this baby. I was screaming "God help me God help me" , I intentionally knew I didn't want to say words like " I can't do this".
- Ambulance on his way, hubby on the phone with them .He cut the phone cos he felt they were distracting him but they called back saying he has to be on the phone until Ambulance arrives. His responses on the phone on what was happening down below was what I was using as my motivation. He told them I can see the head, but the head only pops out when she is having a contraction and head pops back in when contraction stops( which was 15 secs) at this point. That was when I realised I was actually pushing my baby out. My body and I were in sync, I was doing my part and my body was doing its part. That huge ,massive pressure I was feeling down there was a head pushing its way out. Still on all fours , Ambulance came and they were all guys (I heard their voices) . One passed me gas and air, used it once and I got relieved but as soon as the contraction was getting strong I was off the gas and my body did the pushing. They kept telling me what was happening and just as all the head was out a lady paramedic arrived. I heard the guy paramedic say thank God a female is here. She encouraged me to push in the next contraction and I did. And just like that the rest of the body came out. I felt it come out and the relief I felt was beyond amazing. Hubby cut the cord and I was on gas and air still on all fours. It took me 15 mins to deliver the placenta ,it was coming out slowly with contractions and I felt it come out finally with a lot of relief.
- Then I was like like , now I can turn around. I said hello to the lady paramedic, and I said nice to see your face and she said well nice to see your face too 😉 have only met your ASS . We both laughed. I showered, put on a Rob and I saw the rest of the guys thanked them. I walked down the stairs (something you can never do after CS). And just went to the hospital with the baby do see everything was fine. Everything was fine , had a tiny tiny first degree tear No stitch needed as it will heal itself.( I should have had that ewedu at the last minute). I got back home same day by 2pm .

IN ALL;
- started pushing at 00:15am
- birth 00:49am (Monday 1st of May)
- placenta 15 mins later
- Baby size; 4.180kg(over 9 lbs). My biggest baby ever

So it was a crossover birth.

Through out pregnancy, no sweep , no cervical check.
During labour; No cervical dilation check, no baby monitor. And my body did its thing.

I went into this with a lot of research and informed decision knowing fully well I was healthy and baby was healthy. My iron level was amazing, nutrition level was amazing and mentally I was prepared. The only thing I never prepared for was giving birth at home without midwives present. Or having a very short labour even though I drank a lot of raspberry leaf tea, drank blended pineapple with core, ate dates ,drank ewedu juice as least once a week towards the end and bath with herbal soap(from nigeria elewe omo) to help soften my body for birth. Alot of meditation and positive Hypnobirthing videos too.

2o2, congratulations..... This is a motivation for me. Thinking you can't have a Birth after a C section... Congraats

indian03:



Why is everybody naming their babies english name?😅😅😅

Or is it autocorrection? Im seeeing Jason, bryan, evan, Mitchell 😊

Dinabella:


Congratulations mama, truly, I am super happy for you.

I am 39+ weeks and I have a history of big babies. My first was 4.0 virginal birth with plenty tear.
This one, my last scan as at yesterday shows my baby is already 4.1kg. My gynea has slated me for induction tomorrow Friday.
I am so afraid cos even the swap he did on me yesterday, I screamed down the whole hospital.
I have taken pineapple, lipton, trekked for where my oga is still there just shaking body small small.

Truth be told I am tireddd. This induction news is not helping my tiredness at all.

I am even considering to request for CS instead of induction. Sabi mamas that have experienced both please help a sister in distress

Sorry sis. God that has started it with you will give you the strength needed.
For the induction I think it has to do with the hospital because I later heard some hospitals combines tablet with drip & it helps to hasten the contraction but in my case the Dr didn't so let's Sabi mamas come & give you their opinions. I'm still learning
