Please I have a colleague that her period just stopped flowing like almost 2years now. She has taken herbal and English medicine to see if the period will flow but still nothing.

Please I would love if anyone can suggest herbal or english medicine she can take.

Note
She has been TTCing for almost 10years now.

Thank you sabi mamas as I await your advise.

Hi mamas and expectant mamas. May we all carry our babies to full term. Please I need your opinion on something. My sister inlaws are putting pressure on me to go for massage by ijaw women, I'm in my 5th month of pregnancy. They tend to believe so much in it because they have gone through this procees before. Hubby on the other hand doesn't mind me going because his sisters did it and it turned out fine. As for me, i want to stick to the english/medical way. I do not want to do both medical and traditional. Besides, it's not like anything is wrong with me or the baby, we're both fine so why looking for wettin no loss. Just wanted to rant a bit jare. My spirit doesn't just agree with it.

if u dont feel lik going 4 it... Den dont. Dont let anybody pressure u into wat u don't want to do... Its ur body anyway.

Thank you so much. Please any idea on what you to do to lactate

easy... Always put baby to breast to suck... Milk will come... , hv a hot shower always, massage breast with hot water... All dis encourages milk to flow... Thou me i didnt wait 4 milk to comeStarted giving baby formula the second day n i started lactating on 4th day after birth.

MY BIRTH STORY.

So, inwas really really tired of being pregnant becs i was experiencing to muxh tiredness and achings... And my mood was really poor, i was always aggressive even towards my son which made me sad within me. N carpel tunnel was dealing with me dearly... Still dealing with me oooo smh.
So on my next midwife appointment I told her i want to opt for CS becs i believe its what i could do to get a date for delivery where i am, she asked why i chose cs, told her i need to plan mysef and get childcare for my son and d person willin to help need to get permission from her boss to be absent from work. So i was booked for consultation... At 37weeks pregnant... On meeting with d doctor for consultation, d doctor convinced me to try induction first n if it didn't go well, den ECS will be done... Told her i dont mind, just let me have a date please. So, she did after she did cervix examination on me and did a sweep n told me i might go into labour on my own because i am 1cm dilated... Told her, i cant afford to go into labour on my own because it will stress me out, who am i gonna leave my aon with? I leave alone n labour ward dont accomodate children so... I wont be looking forward to going into labour Nat on my own.. She said ok.

3days to induct day, hospital called that i have to call antenatal ward be4 coming in because they are short of bed... I said no problem... On induction day, i called antenatal ward and no one pick... Naso i carryy bag woth my son, called my aunt we are leaving that she should meet us at d hospital... Got there n i still got d same ans that no bed and was asked to wait at d waiting area... My aunt arrived n we waited for 4 to 5hours and was called in and given a room... An hour later... I was given lectures on how d induction gpnna be done... I said okay. D midwife left and came back with the pessary ahe was gonna insert... Naso i told dis woman say i wan pee... Dia woman tell me mk she insert first be4 i go (tell me how i was take dey comfortable open toto, while u poke my cervix... My bladder is full na, she no gree) she sha insert n dem complain say i no open toto well... Durh!!! I told u i wan wee be4 abi i no tell u 🙄. She sha left... One hour after pessary insert... I started having contractions... Like play like play... D contractions started increasing until even me started thinking this contractions isnt normal because i have no resting time... I was in severe pain... The CTG plugged to read baby's heart was reading baby's heart 178, 183 and so on... Which means baby isnt doing very well inside me..... My baby heart was 140-150 b4 d induction n it increase so much in just few hours of starting d induction..... D gas n air pain relieve wasnt even working... Thou it mk me so high as a kite... D pain was out of dis world, i was crying like a baby, rivers of tears running down my cheeks.... Thank God another midwife took over n this one know wat she wad doing... She was concerned so she called more experienced personnel and the person told her to remove the pessary immediately n to give me injection to stop d contractions that the baby wasnt happy with d induction... So, d midwife did as she was told... Ladies and gentlemen, this abnormal contractions didnt stop ooo... So, i was wheels from the antenantal ward to labour ward where the monitoring continue n was hand over to another incompetent nigerian midwife that took a look at my baby's ctg readings n said this is a normal reading now... D baby isnt in distress... My ex midwife just look am with one kin eyes n den left... So, a doctor came in check d ctg reading n was alarmed... She went m called another doctor to come look but she was in d theatre n wen she was done she can in quickly, check d ctg n turmed to me... Looks like the induction didnt go well with your body and baby heart rate isnt good... Baby isnt getting oxygen and we need to perform emergency cs for u... I told her pls take me immediately to the theatre now... I dont care how u do it.. Kust take d baby out now. D doctor den bend to check me n said u aint even dilating.... So, wat u gonna do now is signed a doc... Which i did immediately. I was given another 3 more injections to stop d contractions completely... I never felt so much relief in my entire life at dt moment.
I was wheeled into the theatre n was given anesthesia to numb my body waist down... D operation took like 30mins to b over... Couldnt believe it... I didnt even knw wen they cut me open, i just heard my baby crying... I was lik wat? Wat?!! 😲 Couldn't believe my ears... It was like dey performed magic... I told dem let me c d baby... Dey brought her n i n was lik wat again?!! 😅... That was really quick.... They closed me up n was wheeled to d maternity ward where d care of me n my baby continues..... I thank God for everything. It was a really scary day which turn out well... Alhamdulilah robil al amin.

To be sincere CS isn't bad... Infact, its d easiest way of delivering babies but d recovery from cs isn't easy thou... Fart wey b say u dey fart anyhow b4... U go dey look 4 am after cs lol n having ur first pop after cs hmmmn lol.. D contipation wey go hold u... No b here... But after u have ur first fart, first urine n first poop... U will eventually be very ok n relieved.

MY BS SUBMITTED.

March Mama,

I induced on Friday, but when the labour didn't start within 24hrs, I was scheduled for emergency CS.

Few hours after the surgery, they noticed the baby heartbeat dropped and he has low blood sugar. He was transferred to a general hospital to get fully medical attention. He was put on oxygen for 24hrs, and peaceful passed on yesterday afternoon.

It was painful to me, in all situation God still remains God. As a first time I really looked forward having this wonderful gift.

To all my March Mama's, I pray for safe delivery to you all

wait wat? ha!!! this is really a terrible news.... i am short of words... But may almighty Allah console u... and may u neva experience lost ever again in your life. . may God triple ur blessings next time.

I run scan alot, this is because I don't feel kicks as such. I dont know if it's because it is anterior placenta so I always run scan like 2 to 3 weeks. I am in my 3rd trimester. I have several edd dates from the several scans, I don't know which one to follow but I remember my LMP, I am also using flo app and babycenter. I don't know if I should just stick to th Edd my LMP states.

stick to ur first scan edd date... It is said to b d most accurate... N yes wen u hv anterior placenta... U cant feel baby kick much.

pateffy:
It is very low. What can I do

how low? Contact ur doctor for consultation

StarryV:
I'm almost 35 weeks gone and I'm already experiencing strong discomforting tightening of the tummy that seems like contraction. Like it happens so so frequently this days coupled with the hyper activity of my LO. During my last Antenatal visit, I complained to the doctor and he prescribed Selbutamul drug for me. I browsed about this medicine and discovered that it's taken to reduce fetal (baby's) activity etc... I became skeptical about taking it abeg. Abeg who else is experiencing this? And what could be the cause? It comes and goes o, so so discomforting.
I don't even know what to do at this point

selbutamol is safe my sister... It is given to avoid early labour... I was given wen i was pregnant with my first child, tot i was going into labour at 5months pregnant . The contractions u r hvin maybe due to hyper activeness of ur LO... I experienced d same when i was 34weeks + with this pregnancy.... It felts lik i was in labour... Had to go in to the hospital 4 monitoring... Turns out i was just having predominal labour... Cervix is shut... Not even 1cm dilated... Everything was fine.. Was told to just tk paracetamol... Lik pkay, like play ooo... Everything went back to normal n we still very much preggy. Very active baby trigger contractions... U have nothing 2 worry about... Use d selbutamol as prescribed 4 u just incase.. 2 avoid going into early labour cs i dont lik baby stayin in NICU.

Topforall:
Last month I wrote that we were trying for another baby. I didn’t know that I was already preggy

Anyways, please can I take pepper soup, suya, barbecue fish, asun?
My cravings are just peppery stuff, not even ice cream or fruits or snacks.
Me that don’t do much street buying, but now I feel fried yam and sauce, I buy and rush it like my life depends on it, I see suya and craving starts. Even the buka opposite my house, her rice and beans with stew is now my favorite meal everyday.

I didn’t even do all these with my first child.
First trimester go whine you but you no go get option .
How’s all mamas here doing

u can take all u mentioned except pepper soup

pateffy:
Good evening mama, I am 6 months gone nowadays i feel like my head is about to leave my neck with partial headache, what could be the cause.

check ur BP

Topforall:
I don’t really have morning sickness i.e the throwing up and all
But you see 24/7 tiredness don tired me. I’m just always tired. How can someone be tired all the time? I just want to be in bed with AC/fan 24/7. For someone that works, this is hard cos if I have to do something I think about it 100tomes before doing it .

And also my mouth is bitter

Overall this my first trimester is still better than the former one, that one I was throwing up anyhow, I couldn’t eat anything or even drijk water .

im here to rant nioooo

you will be fine by the end of this trimester eventually.... Your rant is welcome dear

Authorsy:
Dear mamas and papas, please i need your help.

i've started shopping for baby and i want to stock up on diapers that i'll need for at least the first month cause my movement might be a bit. restricted after delivery and i don't have a lot of help here. But i'm a little confused.

The sizing of the brand i'm using starts from small ( 3 to 6 kgs) , then medium (6.1 kgs to 9 kgs).

I assumed newborns will need the size small so i already bought 3 packs of that . Its 48 diapers on a pack so that makes 144 diapers that i already have.

Now, my question is, how many diapers do new borns typically need in the first month? Do i have enough already or will i need more?

Also, if i would need more, should i still buy more of the size small or do babies grow bigger than 6kg before they are 2 months old?

Please i need ur guidance before i go waste my money cheesy . Thank you guys.

Goodmorning... U see the fact is dt u can neva tell the no of diapers u are gonna need wen it comes to newborns... Some babies poop alot while some poop just once or twice aday.... U may have a baby of one of the two. Mentioned above.. Just buy enough to help u through d number of days u wanna stay indoor after delivery if u dont wanna go out... U may even run out of diapers if u buy enough sef... N as 4 d size it depends on how big ur baby is when he/she comes out... I normally have 3.0/3.2 weight babies but my babies dont use size 2 nappies until they are 2 months plus... So this time around i got enough size 1 nappies that will last me for like one month n if i run out of it i hv to go out n buy....even thou, i dont hv help either here, there is high probabilities that i might go out 2weeks after i give birth... Cant stay indoor 4 a whole month... Hell to d No!!!

Anuclan1:
Please advice,

Good day ma, the tape rule measurements is not same as scan. Scan is accurate with my LMP. Tape rule measurement is measuring 5 weeks behind. What do I do?

machine calculation is correct... Tape rule isnt correct... Y r u worried? U probably ve small pregnancy bump, reason y tape rule is measuring less... Dont stress ursef mama.

peacewithinsp:
Team August here too!

I was here 2022 as well but with a different username.

This one was not planned but we thank God. Two previous c-sections. This one will most likely be a c-section too being the third time.

I don't know which date to go with, LMP and first scan differ by 1 week, 1 day.

Also, first trimester is dealing with me, can't wait for it to be over.

congratulations dear, the hospital go by the date of d scan, so u should too... It will all end in praise at d end of the journey mama #bighug

StarryV:
Good Evening fellow belleful mamas. Hope we're enjoying ourselves. I've really been quiet for sometime now, not because I don't come online o, but because I've become so so lazy to type. A whole lot is going on in my life right now, but all is well by God's grace.

Abeg does anyone know an example of an antifungal vaginal cream or suppositories that can be seen in our Nigerian pharmacy?
Any recommendation would be appreciated. Thank you

mycoten cream is safe for pregnant women... Use 4 outside VJ only and clotrimazole cream too.
