Present ma. Been on peeping mode since and doing countdown to the D-day. It will end in praise.

Rukkington:
I'm not asthmatic. I heard asthma patients hardly experience shortness of breath during pregnancy. Dunno if it's true

Rukkington:
Congrats to all the new mums in the house. May God bless your los

Pls sabi mamas, what causes shortness of breath. I av been finding it difficult to breath properly since last night. I went to the hospital this morning and doctor gave me drugs to use. It has relieved me a little but what else can I do to breath properly. I suspect the smoke I inhaled on salah day while frying meat.

Girls plenty for this November, oya other mummies book your daughter in law now while it's still hot so there will be no rushing and dragging when they land.



Iomoge2, you are the real MVP, see bump . LAWD!


I'm 32 weeks +1 day shopping done (hallelujah).
I noticed my Ruby grew taller this week cos she's now everywhere in my tummy but enjoys playing around my belly button area (it so uncomfortable).
I don't know baby's weight, I don't even want to know. All I want is a healthy baby in my arms.


I noticed I have a sweet tooth now unlike in my previous preggy where sugary foods used to make me throw up in the third trimester.

Uwc ma!
Thought I posted this yday. Guess d network was bad when I submitted.
When I had my dd, her sample was taken d third day to check for jaundice,that's d normal routine in my hosp. She had 11.3 or so, I was told in the hosp to take her home and expose her to early morn sunlight and bring her bk again on d third day! I did when we got home. I also checked online and found out that the more they wee and poop the less the effect of jaundice in their system and dat formula will make them poo often. I got Nan 1 for her and fed her like thrice daily. By the time I took her to d hosp d 3rd day when they checked it had reduced to 10. The paed said I should take her home and continue that no cause for alarm and within that week she got over it.So the baby will be fine. 10 isn't so bad.
Babies that are given birth to before 38weeks have a higher tendency of having jaundice too

sugah:

Adding to what graciouscharis wrote, Jaundice could manifest as pathologycal or physiological.
Both can be fatal but pathologycal fatality rate is higher than physiological.
Physiological hyperbilirubinemia is a build-up of bilirubin due to the normal breakdown of red blood cells that were needed for fetal circulation before birth and discarded afterward. Normally, the liver processes the bilirubin and converts it to a form that can be excreted in poo. In a newborn, the immature liver is just very "young" to function on its own outside the womb.
The imbalance of an overabundance of bilirubin to process and a liver that is not mature enough allows the yellow pigment from broken down red blood cells to accumulate in the blood and give the skin and whites of the eyes the yellow tone we call jaundice.
Pathological hyperbilirubinemia is related to a condition other than normal newborn bilirubin being processed slowly by an immature liver. Such conditions include an incompatibility between the baby's and the mother's blood types, incompatibility of additional blood factors, or liver problems. This type might require more aggressive and lengthier intervention than physiological bilirubin problems.
Physiological jaundice coupled with risk factors--small baby, multiples, exclusive breastfeeding, poor feeding and a few others--can cause the serum bilirubin level to reach high risk levels and make the use of bili lights and bili blankets necessary. But generally speaking, pathological bilirubin levels reach higher levels faster and take a longer time to come down.
In both conditions, if the numbers reach high enough levels(15-20mg/dl)it may require one or more blood transfusions, although transfusion is most likely with pathological jaundice.
Physiological manifest 2-3 days after birth whilst pathologycal shows less than 24 hours after birth.
In summary all babies are born with the risk of jaundice but some factors aggravate with it.
We noticed hers some days after which may have been brought on by poor feeding, thing is we thought her baby was getting enough milk all the time she spent on the breast(ebf) not knowing that milk wasn't enough to make her poo thus causing the bilirubin to accumulate.
It's not until she started pumping that we realised the milk was small

Hallelujah everybody!!! God Almighty has decided to wipe away my tears and take away my shame and reproach. I am pregnant!!!! just like that!

God who did it for me is there at your door step. He has dropped your blessing

Graciouscharis:
I'll try to explain what Jaundice is all about and what leads to it.
The human body constantly produces blood(red, white and platelets), the old blood cells is broken into different particles and excreted by the body. The human liver breaks the red blood cells into bilirubin which is excreted by the body. The bilirubin is yellowish in color.
The baby removes the bilirubin while in the womb via the placenta i.e. The mothers liver does the breaking down of the bilirubin and excretes it for the baby. Once a baby is born it's liver is supposed to take up the job but sometimes the liver may not be matured enough or slow to carry out the job which will now cause a build up of bilirubin in the blood stream.
If there's too much bilirubin in the blood stream, the body may circulate it to the brain and this will cause a yellowish stain in the brain. It mostly attacks the left cerebrum.
The build up of the bilirubin is called jaundice and yes it can happen to adults too.
The phototherapy the baby undergoes is to help the liver break down the bilirubin so the body can excrete it.
Look at these facts:
1. No two babies develop the same. Every baby is born with a level of bilirubin in its bloodstream.
2. It's an irony that babies react differently to jaundice. A 10mg level can be fatal in one baby while another baby will walk over it.
3. Malaria doesn't cause jaundice.
4. You can't deduce the level of jaundice by mere looking at the baby. It's safer for your baby to get tested and receive treatment immediately.
5. Antibiotics cannot be used to cure jaundice.

We may not be able to prevent jaundice but we can reduce or minimize its effect on babies by taking our prenatal pills religiously and drinking plenty water while pregnant.
Build up of drugs inhibit the functioning of the liver including ordinary paracetamol. Taking enough water especially while on drugs helps to remove the toxins from the drugs and helps the liver to function better.
Eat well, drink plenty water and pray.

Ok. I don tire. I may modify this to add more things later.

iomoge2:
Pls what causes Jaundice

zaynie:
Anybody home?
Food don almost done o!!!!

Oya come lemme give u punches

ladyvan88:
The msg in the sachet contained in the noodles package. It is the msg however that gives packaged noodles its distinctive and delicious flavor. What's to be done then? Limit your intake or eat it without the flavor sachet. However I hope you're aware that msg is also found in maggi cubes and the like.
