There z Godu.

Oniovo why now?

To be honest, i already lost interest in this thread and was gradually making my exit yesterday. But enque and some other mama's comments really got to me.

I have learnt a lot from this thread. I have successfully given birth and have some experience and knowledge about pregnancy, thanks to this thread. It will be selfish, yes, very selfish of me if i turn tail now and abandon the new mamas and not help them out simply because of the 'iranu' happening.

Granted, they are very disheartening but if mamas had run away from this thread when i was preggo, who would have helped me?

Let's put whatever annoys us aside and stick together. To those who have left and those contemplating leaving, please think about how this will affect the innocent ones on this thread.

This thread needs all of us just as we needed the thread back then. We'll all laugh over all these someday just as we always do.

See my answers under your questions...

fearless07:
Good day mums in the house. Congrats to those that have put to birth and safe delivery to waddling mamas.
Please I need answers to some questions ;
1. For those that drink warm water after delivery, how long did you do so?

I did it for two weeks.

2. When can one start wearing a belly binder ( eg girdle) bearing in mind that the individual gave birth via CS.

It depends on how fast your scar heals. The minimum should be 6weeks upwards. I'm starting at 8weeks because I had issues with my incision and it just started healing.

3. If a girdle is not appropriate, what brand of belly binder can one use. TIA

The best is to get a postpartum belt that is suitable for mothers who have undergone a Csection. Dunno if its the same.

Blessedmum:
@ PresVA, I don't want to say anything on this matter again but it seems this my short leave has made me so bored that I now have time to respond to posts. Nevertheless I ll still try and control my hands.
No response given to her question is wasted It's just some are too sensitive , I gained from the different answers and some made me cry as well especially when I watched that CS video posted by helovesme and what she z abt her baby (I pray God ll perfect everything about him) .

I watched all the 'watchables' when i was preggy.

I watched videos of vaginal birth with and withouy epidural, i watched videos of C-section even when i didnt plan for it. I just wanted to be prepared. And when my belly was being sliced, nothing felt strange to me. I anticipated everything

I have a feeling they are just pretending to hate each other there. Because it gets so hilarious when they go offline and start digging up dirt on themselves so they can come back and trade insults and threats.

sugah:
On a more serious note!! How come nobody described the breast pain that comes with childbirth?? The pain woke me up from sleep and I have massaged the one breast that hurts more with hot water towel but the pain persists. My prince is sleeping so im having to express using a pump but unfortunately that breast isn't producing anything. Help me!! What else can I d

Do you feel pain in the fleshy part of the breast or just the n1pple?

Pain on the fleshy part of your breast after birth is usually caused by engorgement of the breast with milk. It happens to most women before their body has a chance to adjust its milk production to the needs of the baby.
So if you are nursing only one baby, your body gradually lowers the amount of milk it produces to match the amount consumed by the single baby.

A friend told me i'll experience serious breast pain in the first few days after birth but i didn't. I only experienced a little discomfort.

Just make sure your baby latches on your breast completely to avoid pain in your n1pples.

If you need to remove the baby from your breast, don't just pull him away. First break the suction that's holding them together. What i do is slide one of my fingers between the corner of my baby's mouth and the breast. This will break the connection, then i pull him away.

To reduce engorgement, offer your baby the breast whenever he shows any early sign of hunger. Feed on demand and and allow him to suck until he is satisfied.

Always begin feeding him on the sorest or fullest breast.

Always warm up your breasts some minutes before feeding your baby. Afterwards, you can massage each breast from the fleshy part down to the n1pple to encourage the release of milk into the n1pple. You'll be glad you did since an empty n1pple can be more painful.

Place ice packs on your breasts to decrease the swelling and pain.

Then, don't forget to wear a good supportive bra.

What else?

For breast milk production, make sure everything you take in is either hot or warm. Take hot tea, pap, oats, peppersoup. Some mamas recommend fenugreek.

The more you feed, the more milk you produce...

I hope this helps...

It's because they are not active in Family Section. Go and be sensitive there you will leave Nairaland sobbing that day by the time people use mouth wash you. You'll be wondering whether you stole their money or slept with their husband or made their father become a drunkard

Honestly, that section is something else. You'll even see those that will just read the heading of your post and start lashing out, without reading the full story.

I visit the section sometimes to have a good laugh. The responses are hilarious

Favouredmom:
Ehn ehn I have a question, pls does this Shea butter cream (ori) really help with tummy stretch marks in pregnancy. I read somewhere that it helps some women? I don't have any marks yet at 25 weeks but I apply the local cream sometimes when i remember. Just want to know if it helps, won't whine if I still get marks at the end though. Sabi mamas una know yourselves, epp me e joo
Cc enkay.dewdrop, lifted.hands, Mitchyy

Shea butter is actually one of the best emollients out there because it helps in keeping the skin moist and hydrated. And that is one way to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy.
It helped me a lot. I alternate between shea butter and coconut oil and there was no trace of stretch mark on my tummy.
You could give it a try. It might not be too late. Don't let your bump go dry. Always keep it hydrated to prevent more stretch marks from occuring.

jazzyjazz:
So I wanna ask able mamas here, is it safe for me to take this trip at this stage in my pregnancy?

Cc

Pls help a sister

I believe enque and alphahandmaiden has said it all. Confirm from your doctor if its safe for you since its a long trip. Second trimester is usually the safest to travel, but for some mums who have had issues with their pregnancies, their doc might advise against it.

Also make sure you have a doc there you can easily see incase any issue arises.

enkaydewdrop:
Mamas, good morning.. Please, I need help oh.. .
I noticed that Jay's skin is getting darker and darker by the day. I'm suspecting his bathing soap, cos I don't use it to wash his face and it's much lighter than the rest of his body.
Please, recommend a good one that won't darken his skin anymore.
We're currently on nycil soap and coconut oil (body cream).. .
Thanks in advance.. .

Cc Liftedhands, mitchyy, fortius, and every sabi mama.. .

First of all, it might be his true color is coming out, especially if you or dh is dark skinned.

For my son, i use palm kernel oil mixed with shea butter on his skin and it has been maintaining his color. My inlaws even feel he's getting lighter.

Stick with natural products or you can try sebamed range of products to maintain his skin.

Hello, senior mamas. Congrat to all who just had their bundle of joy. I am a first time mum Edd is Feb 17. Pls I am used to sleeping on my stomach so sleeping on my sides now is no joke. How can I get good sleep with this position?

Pillows. Prop yourself with as many pillows as possible. They make you feel comfortable and you'll sleep better
