So many peeping mamas... I see all of una

Mum Fortius, i checked my mentions and didnt see anything o. Can you quote and cc me again?

cherrymum1:
Ada243, thanks for the BS o. It opened my eyes. I was sweating when I got to the part of the nurse saying she doesn't know where the blood is coming from....chai!

But which one is maternity. All the hospitals almost have maternity on them. Pls enlighten me.

I think she means maternity homes, where some Iyas handle deliveries locally. They are not registered hospitals. Its majorly for deliveries

Ekeminiabasi, i see ya peeping. How are you doing teamie? Hope ure good? Na the weather hide all of una?

Mum Ada243, thanks for sharing your birth story.

The last ANC, the midwives were saying so many mamas don't know how to push but they didn't show us how to. Is there a particular way we are suppose to push?

ozycy:
Arrrh, this babe get mouth oooo,
Enkaydewdrop, come an see your look alike.
You are highly welcome, just sit back and keep entertaining us cos this your first post here is entertaining.
If I hear say you shout/cry during delivery ehhh(make I no talk wetin I go do you). Shee you go stand up, push baby out, con catch the baby, cut the placenta, com drag out the placenta,clean/wrap up baby, carry baby put for your chest and start bonding and breast feeding asap. Na for sitting room, bedroom or bathroom you go stay do this one? I like this babe ooo.
No shaking in 2face Idibia's voice.

Hahahahahaha. I don laugh tire. You know we first time mums can make mouth until we see the real deal

I'm tired of staying away from swallow so i decided to make correct starch to eat my hot banga soup. Delta mamas, make una come chop o.

tchiwinnie:
@ahnie I m fine ma. Bube s bouncing too, thanks for asking after him.
@ mitchhy, help me cc the person who asked abt Milo. The thing abt having big babies is dat, some times it is genetic. Just eat healthy( not for two) Most first tym mamas ll hv an epis or a tear( its not compulsory o, just most likely) . Bt just keep ur mind open. The impt thing as u ve bn told s to hv a healthy baby. No joy compares to that. So relax ma.

Cc Kotias300, see more answers from experienced mamas for you o

tchiwinnie:
Unripe one? Wot I know they say is pineapple o. Oya ma'am smokeydrinky(I hope I spelt ur moniker well) come and clarify. Na u start this pineapple business. Is it ripe abi unripe pineapple?

Mum zaynie, kaffy4bill, britneystacy, come and shuk mouth put o. Let's clarify it once and for all

Liftedhands:
What you need to induce labor is bromelin! And its found inside the core of the ripe pineapple! (How do people eat unripe pineapple without having dia tongue peeled ) The fleshy part doesn't have it much even the core one needs to eat as much as 5 whole core daily to get the utmost benefit! Tchiwinnie is right unripe pineapple is not healthy! I'm just hearing it from you guys just recently.

Happy new week ladies

When they say unripe, its not the one that is not ripe at all o . Who fit chop that type?
I'm sure that is what you people are thinking. The type that is getting ripe but still white and not yellow. That is what most pple refer to as unripe.
One mama i know who's looking for labor ate it yday and lost her mucous plug in less than 24hrs.
I might be wrong sha, you know we r all learning. But na for this thread i take hear unripe pineapple and nobody has bothered to explain that its the core all this while.

What about unripe pawpaw? It has been mentioned here several times top

@Florena, i like the way your blood dey hot. But dont expect everything to go as planned, so you won't be disappointed. But its good to have a birth plan and prepare yourself. Heard it helps a lot. Happy bumping dear.

And pls arrange mum zaynie dues o. She doesnt like debtors at all at all

tyconcepts:
Maamy mitchyy....We miss you too. Mofe is blessed and no more bald again o! He would be present for next thread cuties. How's you and yours?

Yayyyyy. Good news. Can't wait!

Mine is still in the oven o. Not out yet

sugarcanebaby:
Please mamas in the house. I just switched to pregnacareMAX after taking my routine drugs from the hospital for about two months. Is the nutrients enough? Especially folic acid, calcium and iron? Or do I need to add any drugs to it?

Cc; zaynie, mitchyy, kaffy4bill, britneystacy, olubankemi, feddy27

A beg make Una help me torchlight the matter!

#ftm# #teamoctober4supernaturaldelivery# #24weeks#

It contains all you need, to the best of my knowledge. That's what ive been taking from Day one. Except ure carrying multiple, that's when you'll need supplementary dose of folic acid.

@kotias003 so many mamas have answered your question o. I hope you're okay now? Next time just try and tag some of the mamas i tagged, so they can see it in their mentions and reply you, okay?

kotias003:
Please I really need to know this now, or if its just a myth. Do beverages like milo make the baby so big that there's always a tear?

As a FTM, labour makes me anxious but the story of "tearing" or an episiotomy, hmmm.... Please how can it be avoided?

Please mamas do not waka pass again. My heart cant take it.

Experienced mamas wetin dey happen now? Make una try answer this our mama questions biko. Abeg now. I go dey add anybody moniker wey i see o...
Cc mum zaynie, liftedhands, cherrymum1, olubankemi, ahnie, kaffy4bill, fortius, mumjb, ginababy, tchiwinnie, missmalachi

From the little i know dear, it might and might not increase your baby weight. And not every big baby gives a tear. It depends on the size of your pelvis. If its wide enough for baby's head to go thru, you'll have no tear. Sometimes, an episiotomy is inevitable so just keep your mind crossed dear. The most important thing is for your sweet little baby to come out safely

kotias003:
No calcium in pregnacare??!
Wait o, thats the only med my doctor prescribed o.
Please do you think I should start on calcium? Are there other meds I ought to take up?
Im 33weeks today - LMP. And Im as anxious as any FTM might be.
Thanks.

Not all pregnacare has calcium. Pregnacare Max has calcium but Pregnacare Plus doesn't. So most mamas buy calcium tabs and add to it

tchiwinnie:
Mamas, let's b careful wt what we eat o. I m hearing unripe pineapple to induce labor for d first tym. The one I know of, that mamas have done s pineapple core. Nke unripe one zi. Mk we tk am easy o. Baby ll soon come out. We re almost there.

Its what some mamas here who have delivered recommended o. They've mentioned it so many times on this thread. It worked for most of them and i dont think it is unsafe sha becos its what most pple eat on a normal day.
I'm just hearing of the pineapple core for the first time too. Make we add am join? I dey find labor too o

Have you tried eating unripe pineapples, dates(locally called dabino), climbing stairs, playing ball in the compound?

The general nutritional recommendation is to consume coffee in moderation during pregnancy and that’s equivalent to about one or two cups of coffee per day. To play safe, its better to take decaffeinated coffee. Personally, i wont even bother taking it sef, just to play safe. Are you craving it that bad?

iomoge2:
Don't use hot stuff to take drugs o.
It will melt in ya mouth.
Sorry.

The eba one works for me always.
Very small eba n one at a time.

2nd trimester is sweet o.
Only that it depends on when your body adjusts.
Mine adjestested in 17th week.
Right now, am so strong ehn, even dh is scared for Me.

The only complaint I have is dat mucus drop into my throat from my nostrils so am always spitting it out.

Infact I cried this afternoon when I told dh we should go to the movies.
Oga said I would embarrass him there.
That I will be pouring spit in public or using tissue..

The words pierced through my heart like a double edged sword.
It's so hurtful.
After ttc. And he is already saying am irritating him.
God

Won't let him see me cry sha... It's painful.
I am thinking of going to d hospital to help with the constant mucous but as it is now. Will carry my thing with pride n spit as I like.
Anybody that can't cope should swerve. Am not going to be bothered.
My body is growing a life n am proud n happy.

That's the spirit dear. There are so many women praying to spit like you as long as they can have a baby. Dont let anything make you feel ashamed of yourself. I started spitting from 7weeks or so. I'm 36weeks and still spitting. I also have that annoying mucous that comes to my throat. I always keep disposable cup beside my bed for the spit. But ive learnt to deal with it. Who i wan complain give? Its not easy to grow a human in your body for 9 months.
So if the spitting like, make e continue till i deliver, na im sabi.

Mum fortius aka cutienik, you scarce these days o. Werrin happen?

Akorkor:
@mitchyy, thank you. I will try and follow the advice diligently. God help me.

Please is ginger tea good to take? I have been craving for it and already started taking it sef though Google said is okay but we are African?

I took ginger tea when i was battling with morning sickness but it didnt work for me. Some pple use it to reduce their morning sickness but it doesnt work for everyone. I dont think there's any harm in it. Hope ure the one brewing the ginger tea yourself with the ginger and not already processed tea?

@jazzyjazz, garri has no side effect. But when you take it too much, there's a possibility it will increase the weight of your baby since its grouped among carbs. So you can take, but watch how often you take it if ure scared of big baby.

Akorkor, pele dear. Sorry we skipped your question. It was an oversight.

I dont know about the cough mixture but the other ones are okay. The augumentine will treat the infection from your blood and stop the cough. The pregnacare is necessary and the calcium was given to you cus pregnacare plus doesnt have calcium.
You can try my style, use eba and soup to take them. Roll them one by one inside eba and soup and swallow. Make sure the eba and soup is not hot sha.
Another option is to use tea or milk to swallow them. That way you wont feel the taste. Pele. Just try and take them and make sure you finish it to the very last dose so it'll be properly treated.
