Pls house I need advice am in my 28week and scan said my baby is transverse meaning the baby head is nnot down, I don't know when my baby will position well ,pls am a first timer. Is there anything I can do to position the baby before my EDD

Don't worry too much about this, ur baby still has plenty of time to turn and it most likely will.

Try and take long walks to encourage ur baby.

All the best mama!

1.who are you?


akalamagbo was used in a sunny ade song.


2.where are you hearing it from?



3.according to this thread, it means vulture:

1. A nairalander who takes delight in your numerous threads on Yoruba culture
2. I hear that name around and know it's the name of a popular bird so I was surprised it didn't feature on the Op's list
3. Tpia, so vulture means igun(according to the Op) and akalamagbo
Interesting, thanks.

I could swear this thread was from Tpia but I am wrong.

Op, what is akalamagbo? I hear that a lot.

Mzora:
join me and thank God for blessing me and my family with a princess early dis morning.birth story later.

So true true March ppl are following that list Abeg who is next ooo


God bless our LO dear. Her comining will signify abundant blessings by God's grace.

Congrats Sayo...it is well with the family.

Why are they refusing you to formula feed them now? It has to be what works for you my dear; me wey I born one sef, had to respect myself and introduce formula after 9 days when I started having consistent headache due to lack of sleep and inadequate feeding. Exclusive is not easy when you are all on your own abeg.

It is well with you, the twins will do just fine.

Congrats sayoberry. Hmnnn, March people are not smiling at all oooo, no time wasting for them at all. Now, who is next

God bless us all. Amen

hajarahbadmus:
thanks. I'm really grateful. his dad said he had too much gas in his tummy so he developed constipation. he then did some massage for him this morning before he took his bath and he pooped while in d bath. I don't think he is losing weight.
what can I do to avoid lo developing constipation again

He is feeding from you so you have to watch what you eat. Add more proteinous food to your own diet not forgetting vegetables and fruits. He will be fine.

hajarahbadmus:
he wees frequently and used to poop 2ce fly
buh snc we circumcised him he has pooped just 3ce and for the past 2day he has been passing the wind which really smells and has been giving me srz headaches
when he sucks he removes his mouth himself and I put him on my shoulder so he can belch. he sleeps off immediately after

Personally, I think he is doing fine but to give yourself more assurance, you can monitor his weight weekly. If you have any clinic or hospital beside you, you can ask to make use their scale every week.

hajarahbadmus:
what can I also do to make my breast milk flow well. my lo sucks every two hours. its a routine and I'm scared he might not be getting enuf.
please help a first time mum..

You can monitor his weight for sometime to know if he is feeding well.

Then the frequency of his wee and poo also gives an idea.

Also, does he remove his mouth himself after feeding and most times sleeps off?

Take lots and lots of fluid and eat a balanced diet.

bhukkie2002:
Amen, thnks dear. I went 2 d clinic 2day nd ws told 2 go 4 a scan. Hmmmm... By my calculation using LMP gestational age shuld b 7 wks 4 days but scan gave me 6 wks 4 days. Dr. Says its nothing 2 worry about bt I think dats just 2 make me calm. I'm soooo scared nd hv cried my eyes out. I just pray 4 a testimony wt ds pregnancy

Haba, why are you crying naa? Old things have passed away and all things have become anew. keep that in mind always!

That difference truly means nothing. Even if it exactky the same date, it still doesn't mean ur baby will arrive on that date. Biko, wipe your tears and fill ur heart with positive thoughts and confession.

March mamas still de wait una

Madam beedam don't worry hubby go soon come fire u anoda one. This time twins

My former classmates (before I shook head into February ) I hail una

Remembering my EDD which was today

One by one, I will be reading ur easy birth stories by God's grace. Una do ooo

Can't stop shaking my head in disbelief. There is wickedness on this world sha!

This woman is a beast and should be in jail for life.

Dheartless:
I relate to this post.
and not those post that sounded as if its OK for a woman to hit a man and not ok for a man to hit a woman. or is it?


moreover why didn't she leave but decide to go physical

Now she has!

kullozone:
ok

she can run from a man who she provokes to the point of beating her As well...so i agree..no be by force true true...

Exactly what she has done in OP's story!

Dheartless:
wrong for him to for do so therefore he deserves it
that's the more reason we should advice men or women to keep clear from violence
www.nairaland.com/2172077/hit-regret-it-she-deserved
that is a recent story, am sure that woman must have been slapping the husband and smashing properties
violence is bad irrespective of the gender

Exactly, steer clear of violence. Don't get hooked to someone who brings out the worst in you. Avoid the person or the situation totally.

kullozone:
so what role does the woman play?
provoking her husband all the time and expect him to just smile over it?
i understand perfectly that men have to overlook most things some women do to provoke them but then again,i want you guys to realise that we are not robots,we are also humans and we have feelings too.

Remove yourself from an abusive relationship and don't allow things degenerate to physical violence or if you can, resolve the underlying issues leading to these abuses from your partner.

Why should you stay with a partner who makes you want to hit her everytime

No be by force na!

Dheartless:
exactly the woman is guilty of physical abuse and she needs self restrain or she should be responsible for her actions.
cos if she keeps up with this attitude she will light the man on fire one day , abusers starts little by little and when it becomes a norm for them they move to the next level.

that doesn't mean the man is blameless but self restrain is the key

I once heard the story of a guy in naija years back that stabbed his wife multiple times, obviously out of anger and maybe provocation. She died but who is regretting daily right now? Who is wishing he could turn back the hands of time and he would never have touched her? Who is languishing in jail now despite having become "born again"??

kullozone:
Ma...
but did any of you even try to mention or talk about what the lady did and has done to him?
it's obvious you came here just to take sides with her(the lady).too bad.


damn!
i give up...scared of getting married.

Sir, if a man keeps beating his wife or any woman who provokes him, how many times in in just a year do you think he is going to beat her and then kill her eventually?

So you see, you get to a stage in life when you are going to be totally responsible for your actions and will not be able to blame anyone else for the actions you take. A married man has to attain that level of maturity to keep a happy home.

It doesn't mean the woman is blameless though...but self restraint is very key!

babyosisi:
God has a way of sometimes giving those men the kind of woman that will use broken bottles to shave their hair gorimakpa and they will be answering yes ma.
There are women out there that will pay him back good
I pray he marries one of them if his chi has marriage in his future

Let me go and baff jor

The nos of guys who are in support of his actions on this thread is scary. I hope most of them don't mean it because I will really fear for the future of our single girls oo

Rose2014:
Finally before I go prepare diner, no woman should cohabit with a man she's not married to even if they're seriously engaged. It makes the woman have a natural complex. It's worse when she's not bringing anything financially to the table. Everything the man does easily makes her act like an Agbero in maza maza motor park.
What I'm saying in essence is women should get very busy with productive things so they can have less time for friends/gossips. Same with men. Everyone needs to get busy. All these beat me I beat u are evidence of being idle minded

Fair enough!

mcdokwe:
the truth is I know when I am wrong and don't need anybody to tell me I am. In this case I might have a justification (her deserving it) I still feel guilty (the regret). Nothing I do or say can change the fact that I hit or plummeted her like others would have it. She isn't just any girl to me, she is the mother of my precious jewel and I really want to tell my sons not to hit a woman and brag that I never did (but I can't brag about that now) but I won't fail to tell my daughters and sister not to give any man a reason to hit them justified or not.

My dear, I still have a problem that deep within you, you think the beating and plummeting is justified and duly warranted. That thought alone is the reason why you beat her not just once but twice and the second time, the blows were deadlier like you said.

You need to have a re-orientation that there is no justification for spousal violence, this will guide you to do what is right in future situations.

Ask yourself if you were abused and provoked by a female boss, will you beat and plummet her? Or you will endure and exercise self control, even if you have to go and report her later.

Same with agberos and bus conductors, these guys provoke more than anything else but I don't see decent men remove their shirts and start to fight these guys in public, instead, they just shake their heads and walk away.

So why is it so easy for men to then beat their wives and still feel it is justified? I can't wrap my head around it. Someone you claim you love for that matter, she bore you a jewel, you even witnessed the pains she went thru to bore you this child, she stood by you when you were broke, she defied her parents and friends to have ur baby and be with you. And for a little misunderstanding and excess on her part, you instantly forget the past and rain deadly blows on her and till date, you still keep on saying she deserves it?
I will never understand that part truly.

Anyways, she is gone now but I tell you that she has rare qualities you won't find in every girl and many men will kill just to have her. Hopefully, she'll find someone who will not think it's justified to hit his woman.

babyosisi:
This is why I say the man is full of it
You beat the crap out a woman who has your baby and tell us you regret it but she deserved it?
Those two things don't go together
This man is a volcano that has already erupted
Reading through his whole post no matter how colorful he tried to make it to suit his purposes,any intelligent person can see though that sadist
The woman picked up and left with a baby for that matter
That speaks volumes
She doesn't even believe a word he said and he expects me to

The saddest part of it all is that the thread is full of cheerleaders urging him on and telling him exactly what he wants to hear.

Hopefully, he will be able to sift through the advices given to him and do some soul searching himself. He is going to kill somebody very soon if he continues to beat women like this whenever he thinks they "deserve" it.

OP, I read ur story and yes, you both are at fault but I also don't understand how sober you are or if you wont really do same next time, this is from your choice of words such as "she deserves it" and "she really didn't get enough of the beatings".

It's sounding like you still relish the beating you gave her cuz you think ur actions were well justified. There is never a justification for beating your spouse IMO esp in the presence of a child.

I advise you to also look inwards on how you could have handled the situation better from your end as against you laying the total blame on her. Don't be one of the men who beat once, regret it but continue to beat afterwards.

sheweezy:
This is exactly how I feel. The pain from the veejay to the leg that it hurts badly when I turn or stand after sitting or lying down. I know the response will likely be "it's part of the package"

Unfortunately it is part of the package

RAO1:
drops of urine from a pregnant woman's vaginal whenever She coughs..... kindly explain

Very normal. She should empty her bladder more often. The weight of the baby pressing on her bladder means the bladder can't hold as much urine as it used to before pregnancy.

imurboss:
Congratulation miraclemum!
Congratulations kimono!

Awaiting ur birth stories!

@all,preggy mamas how's the pushing with us. February remains only 3 days o,who remain?
Team march, hope y'all warming up to give way for us team april

I had been having very mild contractions and BH @ 36 and 37 weeks esp at night but I knew it was false. To think that I am actually team March but I always prayed deep within me to join team Feb so I refused to associate with team March here make una pardon moi abeg

I saw my midwives at 38 weeks and they still booked an appointment for 40 weeks, I told them immediately the next time they see me, I would be with my baby. We all laughed over it but truly, I was tired of pushing myself around. Kudos to all the 40 week plus mamas.

At 38.4 weeks, my water broke but there was no contractions. I called the hospital and they asked me to come in the morning . They checked to confirm it was actually amniotic fluid but since there was no contractions, I was asked to go back home but would have to come back within 24 hrs to be induced cuz of the risk of infection as the water had broken.

All through the day, I didn't go anywhere just to avoid using a public toilet and risking any infection even though there was still no sign of contractions. At that point, I was already prepared for an induction.

Luckily, around 11pm, the contractions started but very minor. By early morning, it was getting intense and I left for the hospital. I was checked after 3 hrs and was just 3cm. After another 2 hrs, the contractions became crazy, so I was given paracetamol and codeine. I was also using the gas mask sometimes. I was checked again but still 3-4cm. By this time, my contractions had become very irregular again and the midwife was quite concerned cuz without contractions, I would not get further dilated. She suspected the codiene had taken away the contractions and making me feel sleepy.

I got concerned as well and started thinking of asking for an epidural or even C/S, i was fast losing it. But in the midst of it all, I begged God to please do something and take away the pain. The thought of being 3cm only after 5 hrs was getting me very depressed. How long would it take me to get to 10cm at this rate

Shortly after, the contractions started coming back but this time, I felt the urge to push. The midwife didn't believe me but asked me to come to the bed and told me to just go ahead and obey my body. The next contraction came with an urge to push and I did. Alas, the baby's head popped out. The midwife who thought I was joking and didn't prepare started running helter skelter preparing her tools and calling for help.

The next contraction came with no urge to push and i told her so. In the midst of all these, she kept checking the baby's heartbeat and he was doing well. The next contraction came, the midwife encouraged me to push cuz I was nearly there. Of course I didn't believe her cuz I thought I was going to be pushing for hrs since I was just 3cm. But I still went ahead to push anyway and Gbam! the midwife put something on my chest - my baby??

I was stunned and confused but relieved and happy it was all over. But God knows I was shocked really, everthing had happened so fast and unexpectedly all of a sudden. It was a major turnaround and I was so grateful to God for stepping in. Even the midwife called him a miracle!

Thanks my ppl. Sorry for my long boring story Na vigilante stress cause am.
