enque:
which of them? my HMO covered the IUD

The copper IUD

enque:
The arm implant is hormonal
the coil (IUD) isn't hormonal (doesn't contain hormones)....my gynae advised me on mine, cos I wanted to see if my period will regularise after birth and thankfully it did.

Maybe u shld ask a gynae or dr.

how much does it cost.

feddy27:
really not scary or painful...trust me, that was my fear too

OK I just have to do it. how much does it cost.

enque:
I have a copper IUD inserted since April 2017. The reason I went for copper was because I didn't want any hormonal contraceptives because I had irregular periods before I concieved.
I was asked to come on the last day of my first post-partum period for insertion. The insertion process was a bit uncomfortable, The nurse claimed that normally it shouldn't be, but it was cos I had my baby via CS. , something abt cervix bla bla bla.
I felt a bit of pain afterwards (a few doses of panadol helped me get thru this) and I had to use a pad for 2 days after cos I had light spotting)

Side effects I have felt is only heavier periods - I use 3 and half pack of always (blue pack of 7) per period..(I used to have heavy periods before pregnancy tho, but the nurses said heavier periods is a major side effect).
Some ppl claim their partners feel it during s.ex, I don't know how true that is cos my DH has never felt it while doing the do.

Disadvantage - Menstrual periods can shift the coil, so u will need to search and feel the strings after each period to be sure it is still there...it's not so difficult sha, they will teach u at the clinic.
however, If for any reason, you do not feel it, Pls go back to the clinic to get it checked.

If well inserted, IUD can last for up to 10 years.

P.s - After my 2nd missionary journey, I think I'll just go for the arm implant . Hopefully, I won't be needing to regulate any periods.

cc MamaDG

I'll go for implant too after my 2nd journey because what I just read up there scares me but I just have to do something so that I won't come back here to give u stories that touch the heart because I did CS too. I have makeup my mind and do it for the main time. Thank you very much

feddy27:
I have one inserted right now...
* painless procedure to get it done..just a slight discomfort
* 1st period was absolutely heavy
* subsequent ones are normal
* no issues whatsoever
* only disadvantage is that it will be poking your partner
* it's very safe and highly effective; at least my baby is 13months and no pregnancy so obviously it's working

Thanks for the information. I am just scared of the inserting thing.

Good morning. Pls mamas that are using IUD, copper or the other one. please can u please tell me everything about it, what u have experienced so far, the advantages and disadvantages, because I'm thinking of going for this method after reading about all.

Benignasweety:
If Prune fit dey my corner, then its everywhere. They sell 1 for 200naira.

Thanks mama I'll go look for it.

JGracious:
Prunes are very plenty in ikeja mall. If you want the real fruit, it's the same as dried plums. You will find the one in jars in the baby food aisle.

Thanks mama

enque:
This is it..
It's green like apple

I know it o, I never knew its also called pear. Thank u very much. I'll try and get it today.

enque:
Y r u giving him flagyl? Even I as an adult, flagyl constipates me
I see pear all around me o, hope it's not avocado pear they think u r looking 4? Cos Dt one is scarce
How old is ur baby?

its me DAT used the flagyl for 2days. i passed it to him through my breastmilk. he will be 7months old in the next 3days. which pear are u talking about?

Onegai:
Mupiderm is 2% mupirocin (antibacterial agent). So ask your pharmacist for one with 2% mupirocin, rather than Mupiderm. There should be a cheaper one (N1800-ish). It's from India and I feel it gives off small heat on touch application but it does the same.

Tatacherie and enque, thanks for checking in on me. I took a break from NL (it was such a necessary break, I had been wanting to deactivate since last year when an acquaintance deactivated her account quietly). Sorry I haven't checked my mails in a while (for this account).

Thanks I'll check next time I go to the pharmacy.

Akorkor:
@ bolded, I doubt if there is anything you are looking for in this world you won’t find in Nigeria. Talking from real experience .

Please check Mall you will surely see prune. They may label it as Prum

OK I'll check when next I go to Ikeja mall. Thanks

enque:
Pear puree
Very warm water first thing in the morning...i give around 5am
Make his cereals lighter
Prune Juice (never got to try this)
Pear juice

I have been looking for pear in all the markets. They said its out of season. I don't think we have prune in Nigeria. I discovered it was the flagyl I was using that is affecting my baby's poo. I have stopped it though.. I now make his cereal light and I tried this early warm water as u advised but my baby rejected it immediately he noticed its not the usual sweet ordinary water. thinking of trying orange juice.

sayoberry:
Give him oranges. U can squeeze for him and let him drink. Like 3-4 oranges

I thought of orange o but I was thinking he is too small to take it. let me hurriedly go and squeeze it for him. Thanks

lululuv:
What's the result so far, am interested to know.

It dried off the following day. The shell life of the licafor suspension is 10days after opening and i was asked to use it for him for a week. The mupiderm ointment did justice to my baby's skin by returning his skin back to factory settings.

Mothers please don't read and pass, my almost 7months old baby has been having difficulty pooping. what can I give to ease the poo. His poo comes out a little in a thick paste form once in 3days. I pray this boy will not inherit constipation from me.
Experience mothers abeg come shook mouth.

spiceeamiee:
My baby had this. Onion water worked for a bit but it came back. Get baby Tribotan. It dried up my baby's own after 3days of application.

All ye mama's playing dangerous games after CS, I carry Beyonce hand give una. Hubby hung his third leg in the air two nights ago with different begging styles, talmabout I will not release inside. I did not even respond. I lock that place with better padlock. He had to go and buy condom by 11pm. I don't enjoy the do with condoms but mhen, I'd rather do with condom than do without peace of mind

Ill do same next times he comes. thanks

Jennifer89:
1. same thing is on my sons neck. I took him to the hospital. Antibiotics and baby tribotan was prescribed but yet its still there. Sabi mamas come and help us ooo

2. My doctor told me that its possible to get pregnant after 6months of having cs but its likely another cs will be done coz the incision site is not totally healed rather he advice me to wait till 15 months before conceiving again that's if I want VBACS

I tried baby tribotan too, it didn't work too. I'll let u knw the result of this licafor and mupiderm I am asked to buy.

zaynie:
It's the heat.
You might want to go to the hospital since the other option I know, I can't recommend to a baby.

thanks zaynie, I v gone to see the doc. I am to use licafor suspension and mupiderm ointment

hotmomma:
Mamadg, does it have yellow pus inside? If yes, that should be impetigo, you can get altargo ointment, its small, expensive but very effective.

Feddy27, continue till 2yrs kee

I didn't notice that. I'm asked to use licafor suspension and rub with mupiderm ointment. thanks

I just left the hospital now, the paed asked me to use licafor suspension and mupiderm ointment for him that it will dry up before tomorrow. each drug cost 2,500. no wonder most people opt for agbo. I don't think I have that patience to be boiling and bathing baby with agbo.

1. mama good morning, I woke up yesterday morning and found this on my baby's hands and legs. pics below. people said its alefo. what can I use mothers.
2. pls is it safe for one to get pregnant 6 months after cs because I have been begging my husband that I no longer trust his withdrawal method, son of man no go hear o.he asked me not to do any FP till I give birth to our second child.

Giddyperson:

The guest thing dey sweet well well... but for real I'm here to stay now thanks.

Burntcoal:
wow congratulations......

Thanks mama

Hi Mamas, pls welcome me. I have been a senior guest on nairaland since like 5-6 years ago. I officially registered to nairaland yesterday cos of this page. I have been an ardent follower of this page right from the pregnancy thread. I initially registered myself (for my mind o) for March born cos I share the same LMP as nicoleswizz. I have been following her, giddyperson and sansa143 back to back. i was kind of scared when they all gave birth and doctor kept on telling me 'baby's head is not down yet'. story for another day. I want to thank all mothers on this thread for taking out time to provide solutions when its needed. Baby Israel is 6months and 11days
