Our latest mums @Sixx @Rukkington, welcome to the preggo. I'm sure ure enjoying your stay here already. Abeg drag more ATC sisters here from the TTC thread. We need this place flooded with belleful mamas

BritneyStacy:
Happy wedding anniversary to you....May Jehovah continue to be the desired third cord in your marriage. ..
Your cake looks sooooo yummy but I need fruits instead

To your questions :
1. I don'tknow how exactly the nappy looks like. Is it like the ones our mother's used? That will require you buy pins to fasten them in one piece after wearing Hansel? Or the nappies has it's own fastener kinda? If it has it's fastener, I would suggest You keep it and use IF you will have a lot of help at home after delivery. ..that's in-laws or your own people. ..they will be happy to help you wash them....but if you won't have help, feel free to dash it out or sell as you wish

2. Brand new bed for 2500naira? ?
Please what kind of bed? Is it this net and foam ? Where did you see it for 2500naira? ?? Do you have pictures? I would love to see it....I wouldn't mind sending You money to buy and send for me ooo

3. What's the nature or line of business of her company? That could determine what you ask for...
Oil and gas ? ICT? These are companies that make good money sha so you ask for walker, car seat, breast pump....if a smaller company, ask for baby carrier, feeders or so...other mamas will suggest

Don't worry, we r still slicing the fruits. Just take your seat and wait patiently.

1. Thanks dear. Its the ones our mamas used in the past o. One mama suggested i get reusable diaper and use it as insert. So i'll google it and see how it works.

2. Even me nor dey sure again. I tot it was 2500 i saw it in one shop. Pls i'm not sure again o. Buy am as you see am. Lol

3. Thanks for the suggestion. I think i'll mention baby carrier or feeders. So they can buy anyone they can afford. Thank you plenty

ozycy:
Welcome Sixx, have a stress free 9months. Zaynie will offer you the golden chair sooonest,

@mitchyy,
1) you can keep the nappy for emergency days when you run out of diaper or dash it out to someone it will be more useful to.
2) abeg buy new baby bed with net for dear Hansel. You can keep the other one the lady gave you for maybe afternoon nap in the sitting room or something like that or maybe when baby starts learning to sit, you can use it to shield his back so he doesn't hit head on the floor, just keep it as spare, it may be useful someday.
3) a detachable car seat is ideal, just make sure they can afford it cos with this dollar rate, I heard it's going for about 60k now
4) persil( not sure about the name again) our sabi mamas go answer you. I use normal detergent and rinse and spin thoroughly.

1. Thanks mama. Will keep it.

2. Okay. I wasn't even around when she brought it. She gave it to dh to give me. Even if new bed is up to 5k, i think i'll rather just buy. My baby deserves it. Will keep this one as spare like you said.

3. 60k Hahhh! I'll rather pick something else o

4. Thanks. I know persil. Will add it to my list now. Thanks mama

Thank you thank you plenty beautiful mamas!!!

Abeg i have few questions because i've started receiving gifts for my baby...

1. Someone got me a pack of 12 white Zorbit nappy. I didnt plan to use nappy, i'm buying diapers. What do you think i should do with it? Is nappy not old school? By the way i wont even have that strength for wash and wear.

2. My landlord's wife gave me her baby's bed out of the goodness of her heart. The bed is very pretty but the net on it is torn in so many places. And she has patched it before. So patching again will be very difficult. What do i do with the bed? Get a brand new bed for my baby since its just N2500 or is there a way to fix the net so it wont look like i rejected her gift?

3. A business partner asked me what gift i want her company to buy for my baby and i don think am tire. I don't want to mention any expensive item before dem go say my eye too big. Or what do you think? My mind dey tell me to mention baby car seat. The detachable one

4. What kind of detergent can i use to wash my baby's clothes?

raptor2:

I read every single one of them and i'm really grateful that you all took out time to wish us well. Abeg make una manage this cake. If u know your baby is growing too big, nor come chop o.

10 years ago, we started this journey together. Exactly 1 year ago we sealed it. And here we are today, celebrating one year in marriage. It wasn't easy but thanks to Jehovah, we scaled through all hurdles and we'll scale through many more.

Yayyyyyy!!!! Happy wedding anniversary to me and my dh!!!
We need nothing less than 3 babies from Team May today. I believe you mamas can do it...

zaynie:
Agbo is medicinal....every medicine is good until it is abused by either under/over dose.
Medicinal plants have one ishh....we never know how much of the active principle ( d real medicine) is present ....in which species?....found where? Dried for how long? Under direct sunlight? In the presence of some maggot laden flies perhaps? Used to scratch a itchy back? Boiled for how long? Mixed with what? Prepared by who?
For example, agbo for fever from A is different from that from B. Unlike PCM that is same every where.
These unanswered questions are why we are adviced to avoid agbo and not because it is 'traditional'.
Agbo cured me of typhoid when I was younger. Drinking the soursweet concoction for weeks helped. But I wasnt pregnant....or breastfeeding.

Besides the recent rise in occurence of kidney and liver problems has been linked to agbo drinking.


So yes while agbo when prepared hygenically is good, I wont recommend regular drinking in large volume for anybody. I will most definitely never encourage a pregnant woman to drink it at all.
What are you trying to prevent? No pills for it?


If you really ask momcy, as in ask her well well, she will tell you its one "oversabi" that prescribed it as a sure banker that your preggy will be top notch.

MyOpinionTho.

Thanks mum Zaynie. Lol @oversabi. And ure right o. Its her close friend who insisted its safe. I don keep the agbo for corner. Before she comes, i'll dispose it

cutienik:
@mitchyy...i dnt want to b a pretender here so mak i talk truth..for my first preggy..wen i was in my 3rd trimester..i travelled home cuz of d nyanya bombin nd while i ws home..dia sz a particular lady dat sells agbo to my papa nd i jst fell for her neatness nd told her if i can tak agbo..she said y not dat there r d ones for preggy mamas..nd i was takin it for 2mnths cuz she do cum around evry tuesdays nd nottin happend to me or d baby even wen i trAvelled dis april for a party..i tuk lik 2tyms..she wanted to mak a bottled one for me bt i told her it will waste dat i prefer d fresh ones....PLS mamas dnt forget body differs o so we cnt really determines wat works for evry system bt on dis ur issue..pls jst stay clear cuz it seems ur body reacts to tins easily so jst tell mama u dey take am abi hw she go knw so she wont feel offended..i was on cold chilled water thruout my first preggy too nd wat dunasy said happened to me too...my take on d mata niyen o.

Yes, i think you're right. I just realized now that my body reacts to every little thing. If i take orange, na wahala. Take soft drink, na problem. Take cold water, trouble. Let me just jeje keep the agbo in one corner to avoid stories

@SerendipityF @Twogreatnations Thanks mamas. I'm getting better now

Let me muster up the boldness to ask this...

I've always been strongly against taking herbal medicine in pregnancy. Even the one a friend gave me to take in 1st trimester, i threw it away.
My mum just sent me fever medicine(agbo) and said it'll help clear my system totally of fever and prevent jaundice in my baby. I insisted she shouldn't send it but she kept reassuring me that she cant send what will harm me and my baby.
I'm team #NoAgboInPregnancy but is she in anyway right? I don't want anything to happen later and she'll say shey i told you to take the medicine.

faari:
okay. Thanks.

And please house, this unripe pawpaw soaked in water of a thing, how does it work abeg? I know they said its to prevent jaundice. But what's d process ?

I'm not sure how safe this is in pregnancy o. Experienced mamas can help you torchlight the issue

raptor2:
@ Mitchy my able in law. Sweet captain. Doh o ooo. Please take it easy with cold drinks because the weather is not so hot again. Sorry Dear

I'm home now dear. I see cold water and AC run now o. Dr said its respiratory tract infection that is causing the severe cough, body pain and catarrh. I'll be fine

cutienik:
@mitchyy...my captain wetin again ooo...mak i sing for my boy *hansel bobo,finefine bobo,blessed bobo,handsome bobo..oya free mama oo.make mama rest o...yipeeyipee yahhh*...sori i don sing for him now..wen u dey use coldwater disturb nko..

Thanks teamie. Me sef tire for the body o. Instead of Hansel to listen to you, na dance he dey dance to your song. Lol. I'm now #TeamZeroColdWater. I can't go thru this again.
How's Hansel's princess doing?

@maureensylvia sorry for your loss dear! So sad

Beremx:
why haven't you started drinking it? your doctor prescribed drugs for you and you still ask questions doubting the drugs? nne biko drink the drugs abeg.

I think there's no harm in confirming first to be double sure because doctors are not perfect. I've been prescribed a wrong drug before by a doc and thank God i asked my gynae first.
Apart from that sef, having discharge is normal in pregnancy now, especially if its not smelling. I wonder why its being treated. I might be wrong tho

faari:
September, God willing. @Sugah .
I'm relatively new to this thread anyway.

I need links on how to get stuffs. I'm on a budget oo. SOS!!!

My teamie @olatebony has some really nice and affordable baby stuff

Happy Sunday to all mamas in the house,hope we are all all trending easily and smoothly ?we shall always has the cause to glorify HIM.

PLS MAMA in the house help me torchlight my matter o

FIRSTLY ,am in my 15weeks 2days today.although in my first trimester I don't really have much morning sickness expect weaknesses,metallic taste and I only vomit maybe 3 or 4 times during the first trimester and i do eat normally.
But this my second trimester is somehow last week I was treated for malaria but yesterday morning I woke up with body pain and cough,since then have stop cold drink and have been tajing hot things and TomTom,i dontvwant to go back to my GYNEA and conpkain abt the cough,PLS HOUSE WHICH DRUG CAN I USE OR HOME REMEDY TO APPPLY ?Am a first time mum

This is exactly what landed me in the hospital at midnight yesterday. Was having severe cough, body pain, cold and catarrh. I couldn't sleep for 24hrs. Pls see your gynae. I was given an injection and immediately, i started feeling sleepy. Then i was given Supermetrine tab, paracetamol and one other drug.
When they tell us to stay away from cold water and drinks, we dont listen. I was forming James bond and drinking cold water non-stop for the past two days and this is the result. Pls treat it immediately at the hospital and don't just visit the pharmacy yourself. Pele.
Let me rest a little. My head is on fire

Chinwendym:

Let me snap the owho soup and starch in my kitchen right now.
By the way, where banga rice, okro peppersoup, and erhibotor? What of kpokpo garri soaked in water and mixed with sugar and sardine? I know you said "popular dishes" but we get food o.
