So I went for my weekly ANC today and had my last scan. Everything has been going well(nd still is) but I'm a bit worried cos
1. Placenta is anterior fundal
2. Baby measures 35wk+1 while I'm 38wk+1.

Pls who can shed more light on these for me.

Cc rofemiguwa, zaynie, kaffybill and all may mama's.

As long as d placenta is not low lying den it's not a problem. 4 d scan, I don't think u shld b worried. Late scans r always irregular depending on d expertise of d sonographer n weight of baby. Dats y early scans r preferred. In my last pregnancy, d last scan I did gave me 34wks plus wen I was almost 38wks. I was worried bt my doc just measured my tummy n told me not 2 mind d scan. I gave birth 2 days later after d scan wit baby weighing 3kg. So keep calm. Oda sabi mamas ll touch light d matter.

Allahu Akbar!!!
MumZ na twins?
24 weeks? I trowey salute o!

Lol, my sista na one o. D belle just shoot out at once as I reach 2nd trimester. During my 1st trimester I was worried cos d belle no gree come out. Someone even said she taught I wanted 2 tell her I've given birth wen I cald last week. Na so I know say d belle big no b small. D Lord is my muscle. Myb its cos its my 3rd sha.

@ Hajarahbadmus, I feel u. My dd's new style is 4 me 2 b carrying her now. She ll just stretch her hand 2 b carried all d time. All d food she was eating, she has stopped. Always clingy n crying unnecessarily. One elderly staff in my office suggested I bath my belly on her dat lo ll stop disturbing her. I laughed so hard b4 he finished d statement cos someone also said it wen I was preg wit my dd n my ds was clingy. I believe she ll outgrow it soon. Hold on u r almost deer. Team August 4 easy peasy delivery insha Allah.

Congrats team may mamas. Mitchy 2dy na bumpy Tuesday o. C my big bump. Ll b 24wks 2mrw insha Allah. Team August representing.

..i dnt even work..how do career mamas cope?
SOS MAMAS!!!

All d one u mention no b work? My dear stay @ home mums do more work cos everyone just believe u spend d whole day relaxn, meanwhile u av 2 b super woman 2 put everything in oda. Weneva I'm on leave, it's always terrible n dh can come back n d 1st question he ll ask is wat av u been doing since mrn? 4 career mamas, I can drop off my lo @ d creche, do small work in d office nd even sleep depends on how busy or not my day is n still come home n feign tiredness n d man ll b like let's just eat wat I available cos he feels uv had a long day. My dear 2 b a stay @ home mum is more work 2 me o. Pele dear, d Lord is our muscle.

Thank u able captain Britneystacy, Zaynie n Mitchy 4 ur response. I'm not worried bout d anterior lying placenta, was just curious 2 know d implication if it remains dat way till delivery. I know a low lying placenta covering d cervix is a problem. Tanks again 4 ur responses, well appreciated.

Mamas iv been meaning 2 ask, wats d implication on an anterior lying placenta @ Labour? Dose it mean d placenta ll come out b4 baby? Wit my 1st, d placenta was posterior lying nd kicks well felt, wit my 2nd, it was anterior almost tru out d preg but later moved 2 d posterior during my last scan nd b4 delivery. My baby was a sleepy baby tru out so d kicks were not always hard. 4 dis pregnancy, my scan says it's anterior nd kicks have not been 2 hard bt I know my gynea is hoping it changes 2 posterior b4 due date. So am asking, nytn wrong wit an anterior lying placenta @ birth?
Cc Zaynie, soonest, babythug n all sabi mamas.

proudmom38:




Thanks sis. Hope I never chop frog so.

If in doubt do a preg test. It's possible 2 take in wit d 1st ovulation, so period won't come @tall.

@ozycy, no b small dulling, I wanted 2 comment some days back dat dis team April can't fit 2 win best team at all, bt I no wan fast forward. I trust my team August by God grace, wit our swagallicious team leader Britneystacy, na one baby per day wit sweet sweet n easy birth stories insha Allah. Oda teams go learn

UmmTwins2:
my baby is 6 months, has 2 teeth; I use ordinary water with washcloth to clean his mouth n tongue. Does he need toothbrush n toothpaste yet? TIA ma'am

My los also grew teeth early so I immediately switch 2 d finger silicon brush. U wear it on ur finger. Very tiny paste. Dere r paste for 0yrs n above 4 kids, so u can try dat.

@ mydreams25, according 2 d professionals, use tiny toothpaste as tiny as a grain of rice. So even if swallowed no harm done. Brush 2wce daily, last tin @ night n after d 1st meal in d mrn (workers n schl children no fit do dis one). In fact we told we r not spose 2 rinse d mouth after brushing so d fluoride can work in d mouth. Once a child start having teeth, get an age appropriate brush. Still trying 2 get use 2 brushing dd teeth @ night.

lawvlypearl:
Good morning able mamas.... Team May! It will end in praise oo...sleepless night,difficulty walking(tho I be shanko).

Abeg, help me torchlight my matter, woke up feeling heat, took my bath immediately, tried sweeping the kitchen(with a standing broom) then a felt a small trickle of milky discharge run down my legs, abeg what could that be? I'm 35weeks+4days today.

Pls no waka pass...help a FTM.

R u sure its not sweat dat probably mixed vj discharge dat trickled down. Cos d heat dis days no b here o. Just watch n c. Oda mama's pls respond if u av any idea.

serendipityF:
Ma'am Ahnie, this is what happens when pple think they know ur story, thank God u do edit/delete ur posts after sharing

Exactly. If pple like Pintoxx know person story, na 2 use am dey mock d person wen ish arise. Nd nobody shld say she dint mean it 4rm dat angle, cos we all know she did. If u like insult my ancestors, like my small small niece ll say, uh uhn.

sugah:

Ehen? Does that show its a boy or just a myth?
Myths iv heard:
if you don't have morning sickness then you are carrying a boy. Girls give their mums severe MS cos of higher progesterone levels.
if you are carrying a boy you would be glowing all through your pregnancy. Girls suck their beauty from their mums hence making dem ugly.
If you are carrying a boy, little boy toddlers run away from you. Well, opposites attract

Mamas which oda myths have you heard?

Only d last applied 2 me. I still call d boy my Dd boyfriend cos he ffg me truout d pregnancy. No mrn sickness 4 all my pregies including dis, I was glowing in my last pregnancy dan d 1st wen I had my Ds, everyone commented on it. In fact here dey believe if u r carrying a girl dats wen u glow. Wit my sisters, d one dat has 3boys is always very black n ugly during d preg, while my sis who has 3 girls has lost all her hair 2 dem. So I don't think it varies.

zaynie:



Lol! Lol!! Lol!!! @ punching...
No be criticism like that....na for learners to ask if e dey ok. And you know some go say yes and some go say no ( politely), with reasons ofcourse.

Exactly, here pple ll criticize wit love, bt if u open anoda thread, even pple who dose not know d purpose of d thread ll comment nd wit insult sef. U know say nairalanders no get chill. So lets do our tin here pls.

babythug:



ROTFL... These our mamas sef. If Na my own mama I for speak wanna and gonna to her oh. But Na my husband mama and because I wasn't quite expecting it really shocked me and made me tongue tied..

I hear some wash the place with pap sef.

Ha, pap ke? No mind enkaydewdrop, if she get person like my mama, all her grammar go finish n d mama go still press shege commot 4 d vj, lol. My mama no dey look Uche face o, she ll hunt u till u succumb.

@ teamie babythug n oda mamas y una dey shock na? My mumsy dey press vj wella after delivery o. If u no shout, she o say e b like d hot water no dey reach d right place or e no hot enough. Na so me n my sister's dey halla 4 bathroom wen we born. During my 1st cos I had a small stitch I no let her near dat place, only press body, she say I better press o else my vj go dey make noise like okada, na e I say make she wait make d place heal bt 4 where, she still press small small. D 2nd one me sef dey press myself after she don finish cos no tear den con turn d hot smoking hot water wey she say make I siddon put 2 warm water n use it 4 sitz bath once she leaves d bathroom.

dhabeautyjas:

Thanks so much, i think i feel better, we were given a gel at the hospital to be applying. I always apply after cleaning though it was like 2-3 times daily but since circumcision, ibhave been cleaning almost every hour. Doctors said the cord doesnt disturb circumcision so they did it with d cord. It looks like its getting thinner sha

It was mil that carried him o. To feed him that day sef, i was so scared.

Yes I heard d gel is d new way now, less stressful dan d spirit. Thank God it's off, dat cord cleaning can b tiring.

[quote author=cutienik post=44717773][/quote]

If we ffg d schedule, we r covered 4 life bt most times after giving birth we don't take d next dose so av 2 start all ova again in d next pregnancy. So 4 now u r on course cos u r starting all ova again. Iv promised myself I ll complete d dose dis time around even wen I put 2 bed insha Allah.

enkaydewdrop:


*****Mumz--- Seriously? 2 kids? I thought they said the place never remains the same after one kid.
Thanks mama... I'll do as you say...
#Hugz&Kisses

Lol, I think it's cos we r in 2 different states. So by d time we c like after 6-8 weeks d place has firmed up a little so d 1st few days penetration is tight bt after a while loosens up subsequently. If den allow d man he ll b doing it every day bt a pikin cannot come n quench so I allow 1ce in 2 or 3days. If I'm not in d mood na 2 form quarrel n vexation.

dhabeautyjas:

Mamas, save me o. Lo is 2 weeks and 2 days and his chord is yet to fall off. I complained wen i tool him for circumcision on tuesday and doc said no cause for alarm. That the cord was very fat at birth but am still not satisfied. Has anyone witnessed such before?

That circumcision no easy o. If not that i had strong heart, was almost crying for him.

If u r using spirit 4 d cord make sure it's original moko spirit n try 2 clean frequently. My Ds cord fell off at 28days, I was already crying sef cos it delayed his circumcision. I later suspected d spirit I was using was not original. 4 my Dd, I bought 4rm a reliable shop n cleaned almost every hr, it fell off d 3rd day.
U get mind 2 hold am 4 d circumcision o, it was my mum dat took my son in, me stay reception, was hearing his screams. After d procedure, I was cald 2 breastfeed, d boy just bone up.

zaynie:

MumZ, peep toe flats will be nice on short gowns.
Make sure your nails are looking good.

For long gowns, go for strappy sandals or a very low wedge sandal.
Also girlie sneakers and plimsolls can look good on short skirts and gowns.

Tank u plenty plenty. My nails r always short n neat. Don't use nail polish except lahli once in a while, dat one sef don tay.

@ enkaydewdrop just let nature take it course. I know of a lot of pple who av had vd even though dey dint kpekus truout d preggy cos dia hubby dye outside or medical ish. Bt dey try give hubby small small cos it helps. I noticed dat fingering tin dey pain n pepper me after d show, so instead I use dh tip 2 stimulate until I lubricate den he enter gentle gentle (I b innocent o I no Sabi nothing). Dh dey complain sometimes say after 2 children y still dey tight. Me no get power 4 rough play. My sis doc had 2 send 4 her hubby 2 come n do d needful during her 1st preggy cos he is in abj n she in Lagos. She still went on 2 av a VD without tear. So pls don't worry so much dear. God is in total control. I also do some squats exercise close 2 delivery.

Rezzy na dsame boat we dey 4 shoe matter o. I don't wear heels @tall, even d smallest. It's always flat n I no dey buy better one sef. My sis in law yab me just last week here about one I bought dat it's my mother in law dats spose 2 b wearing such. Na by force I wear small heel on wedding day n I was still complaining. Nytn wey make me wear shoe go party, my slippers Mus dey bag, as I dey come down 4rm car, I dey change. Nd I use a size 38, 39 dat av lovely shoes o. Pls Zaynie wat kind of flats can work 4 pple like us n still make us look good. Cos truth b told am not going 2 b switching 2 heels nytime soon. Can we wear pumps on short native dresses? Nd wat ll b best on long native gowns n skirts. I do trousers n gowns mostly. Skirts r not my tin except office. Abeg no vex 4 d plenty questions.
