Good morning. I’m applying for dependent visa for my husband and son and I have the required funds in my uk account. However, I got about 900 pounds gift from family members to support us. Would this raise an issue in the statement of account or it won’t be scrutinized? Thanks

This salary issue is not getting funny at all. I never see alert. Most of my colleagues got theirs since a week ago while some of us never see anything. Na wa

take him back to the hospital.. u should hv done that since the 7th day maximum.

litubow:
Experience mum
Please my baby circumcision ring refuse to remove since two weeks now and have been applying enough oil.
Pls what else can I do?

I had oats and yoghurt for dinner last night and since then I’ve been pursuing my baby with breastmilk my boobs are filling up so quick even after multiple feeds. The milk just dey fly out. I totally forgot oats increases lactation. Omo!

Thanks mama

Omakraid:

I'll suggest you buy 6 months and above while you get few 3 months plus that are fitted for outings like Sundays..

Thanks mama

Layormiii:
all those 0-3 months sleepsuits I bought, my baby didn't wear Dem more than twice or thereabout and they became small for him.
So annoying
I'd suggest 6-9 months clothes o and few 3 to 6 months

Hi mamas. My son will be 3 months soon and will need change of clothes. I’m confused as to if to buy 3-6 months sized clothes or 6-9 months sized clothes cos babies grow with speed of light. I need opinions please mamas

She should try eating oats.. it increases lactation

oladele239:
What can my wife use
She's not producing enough milk
I feel for my baby boy who's just 2 weeks old
I don't want him to take formula for now

Any proven method to increase milk production?
She's feeding well enough and she takes enough pap as well

Hi mama.. it’s just like dandruff. Cradle cap is due to dry scalp. Just apply oil and comb gently. It’ll peel off over time

Vivi01:
Good morning wonderful mamas pls o help me.My Ds is 8weeks today and for some days now I noticed that each time I comb his hair after bath I see brown stuff on the comb,then I parted the hair and saw brown stuff on some part of the hair like dandruff ,I Google it and I saw cradle cap. pls who has dealt with this and what did u do to clear it .for now I just keep combing the hair so that the stuff can come onto the comb, pls don't read and pass if u have dealt with this before o and thanks in advance.

Engine oil ke? Was it the doctor that said u should rub engine oil? It’s like rubbing engine oil on the vagina

Layormiii:
I pray my baby own drop soon ooo.. today alone my eye don see whin.. we are putting only engine oil and he has used paracetamol too. He is finally sleeping on my chest and I haven't changed position in like an hour.. I rather take the pain that see him cry all the bitter cry he's been crying since morning

Cappo, he’ll be fine. Were u told to buy syrup pcm for him? I was told to give him syrup pcm 2.5mls morning, afternoon and evening. My baby rejected it sha. A lot of skin to skin contact and breastfeeding helped us through it. He was fine by the next day. Today is day 3. The doctors told us to wear loose/big diaper for him so it doesn’t rub against the penis AND I was told not to rub anything on it. Just bathe normally and it will drop within a week. My friend’s baby’s own dropped on day 5

Layormiii:
My boy's circumcision was done today, he hasn't stop crying please I need tips on how to make him feel better

I had this feeling and I hated it. No one could convince me that my mouth wasn’t smelling cos of that weird taste. No matter how much u brushed my teeth and tongue, it didn’t stop. Last last, as soon as I delivered, it disappeared.

voucher:
Please mamas, what can be done about this taste in the mouth? That’s my only problem now, sometimes it will be like i licked soap! I don’t know how to explain but I’m sure you understand, I don’t even know if my mouth is smelling :- I don’t like it at all

1. U do not need heat for the baby’s navel to heal o. Just keep cleaning with spirit and cotton wool. Heat is dangerous o.
2. U should go back to ur hospital for checkup. The CS site is not well healed and u may need antibiotics asides from cleaning with cotton wool. Pls see ur doctor
3. Mama, relax. I was told I can’t work out (or use waist trainer) till 3 months after. So relax.

TOHHAN:
Mamas pls I have few questions
1. My baby cord fell off on the 6th day and since den, MIL do use hot water to press it because she can't find Lantern, I suggest cleaning with spirit and applying chroloxyl gel bt she said No saying it needs heat to heal fast. Now that she has left, what can I use to heal it fast pls because I can c it's not yt healed totally
2. My CS area has sumtin like pulse/boil plus swollen and it do burst itself attyms though I clean with spirit every time but not looking dry and healing to me though d swollen part has reduced abit now but still not comfortable wit it, what can I do to hasten the healing process
3. How will my tummy become flat back, av been drinking warm water but it has still not gotten down totally, still asif person gt belle.

Hi mama. Please I beg of you, be very very careful with agbo for babies. I’m an healthcare worker and I’ve seen terribly sad effects of agbo on babies especially when forcefed. Weldone mama

Omakraid:

Mama, the yoruba way is agbo oo and you know many modern mums are against it but Ayam not.. Mum Inlaw came with the herb for both stomach and oka (donno if it's fontanelle) and we have been sleeping all through just occasional wakes to suck

Congrats cappo. Omo, that doctor needs to be taught a lesson

Layormiii:
Part 2
Fast forward to week 39. I was really really tired already, I told my husband I want to go for elective CS on Saturday if baby no come cos ehn the tiredness was something else. Plus chronic back pain and bad headache, swollen painful feet too . He said I should tell my doctor In the next antenatal. I told doctor and doctor said they don't do elective CS on weekends so I said okay o and face my front, praying for baby to come.

I started having painful swollen legs for days. When I complained to the doctor he dismissed it as normal but my mind wasn't at rest, there was something different about it.

Friday night,baby movement reduced, tiredness etc. I tried everything to make him move that night and oga didn't answer.

My husband called his nurse friend and she said we should go to the hospital that night, but it was late, and hospital is far plus you know how general hospital can be. It might be fruitless going that night.

First thing the next morning (Saturday) we went to the hospital, they wrote scan for me to do to check the baby movement, it was a special kind of scan cos we paid 8k for it.

The result said his movement was 5over 8 which isn't good enough.
After checking the result the doctor was said they will have to induce me abi nah induction and cervical ripening me lol cos he needs to come out, he was 40weeks and a day already.

Omo as I hear induction my mind cut ooo, cos I've read scary stuffs about it. Later on she said she called an older colleague and he adviced CS instead. I won't lie I jumped on the offer immediately and she told us to go bring hospital bag. And so the journey began.

Hmmm people of God .
CS is not funny ooo.
The nurse firstly chuk chuk urine stripe inside my VJ three times, like chuking inside, remove it, chuk again , remove, that alone messed up my system. I started shivering.


Was later whilled to theater and let's just give glory to God.
When I heard his first cry I just knew it was all worth it, the body aches, the cries, the sleepless nights, etc, all worth it.
They left me in front of the theater after the operation for like 4hours or more and I was shivering, shivering and begging for help..

Anyway, please mamas trust your intuitions, whenever it tells u there's a danger please do not dismiss it, I complained to the doctor during antenatal about the leg pain and all and he dismissed everything, even the movement and chronicle headache I was having he dismissed them all , said that was part of third tri package and that I had typhoid and wrote drugs for me .

What if we didn't go that Saturday.

I wish all mamas here safe delivery ijn.

Anyways make una beg my baby to suck my bress naaahhh.. chaiii

Pregnancy pain??
Diclofenac and ibuprofen are NSAIDs. NSAID is NOT safe in pregnancy especially early trimesters. Doctors prefer tramadol over diclofenac for pain in pregnancy.. that’s how bad the effect of NSAIDs can be on a fetus.

Ebowo:


Diclo helps better in pregnancy pain, discomfort n fatigue ,it safer than ibuprofen even in babies it is safer...we learn every day even the professionals u mentioned must keep learning everyday if not the info they got from sch get outdated

Kiss kids does it best for me

novia22:
Mama's Abeg I need help. I need suggestions on good diapers.

PAMPERS: it has to be the South African one or else baby has rashes.
HUGGIES (baby reacts with rashes)
MOLFIX( I don't understand what they are producing anymore. My sis in-law complains the diaper is always shifting to the side thereby her baby spilling poo. She bought 3packs and it's the same issue with all of them).

Pls I need a good diaper we can easily get that is effective....Forget all these big names..

Thank you.

My baby didn’t fit into any at all and he prefers sleeping with me at night. He just knows when I drop him in his cot though he uses his baby bed in the sitting room in the day

voucher:


Thank God baby is better now.. my 2 kids made good use of the baby cot o, i gave it out but i will buy another one for this 3rd baby..
Some babies don’t even fit into newborn clothes, lool

Congratulations to all June mamas
@Layormiii hope u’re recovering well
Omo, night duty is crazyyyyyyy. My darling wakes up around 10pm till 3am, wanting to suck and snuggle while I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. He had jaundice at day 3 of life, we spent a night at nicu for phototherapy but thanks be to God, he’s much better and bilirubin level has dropped.
Btw, baby cot and newborn sized clothes are a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. thankfully, they were both gifts, so no regrets.
I wish all waddling mamas safe delivery

Birth story!!!

I had my first myomectomy at 20. They were 9 fibroids and the biggest was pedunculated, cystic and subserous which made the surgery of importance. My doctors counseled me to start planning pregnancy and all. Lol, I was a virgin prior to my surgery and that made me lose it. Yet, no pregnancy. About 2 years after (I was now single), I started having very heavy periods so I went for a scan which revealed fibroids were back. I cried my eyes out, called my mum and she encouraged me. I decided to bear with the symptoms. My God! Every menstruation was a mad cycle. I had to get thick always pad and I kid you not, I used at least 4 packs of pad every cycle. I always got stained even with that “special” brand. During this period, I met my husband.
I had to see a doctor who is an O&G prof at UITH (she’s such a blessing to me. Her hospital is Gracevid hospital, agbadam, ilorin for those who need it. She is a fertility specialist too). Prof examined me, placed me on some drugs to reduce the rate at which I was bleeding and asked me to do scan and HSG. HSG was a very painful procedure and I weeped while it was done. Result came and said I had multiple fibroids which had distorted my uterus and my right Fallopian tube could not be visualized. My husband (then bf) was worried but encouraged me. I went to prof and she said she would not carry out any surgery on me till I was going to get married. This was because my endometrium was breached in the last surgery and it could have effect on fertility. Prof counseled me not to rush into marriage just cos of what I was going through. I listened but I knew I had my own husband already (which was my bf)
Few months later, my bf proposed and I informed prof. She asked me multiple questions to be sure I was getting married for the right reasons. She planned my surgery and I had 52 fibroids removed. Yes, 52!
I healed well afterwards, she placed me on a dose of leuprolide injection (about 35k per dose) to slow down regrowth. I started trying to get pregnant but no show. I went to prof and she told me to do scan, HSG and sono. Scan and HSG showed I had a fibroid seedling while sono revealed I had twin follicles which were about to ovulate. Those twin eggs ended as menses.
Prof encouraged me and asked if I talk to God. I told her I do and she told me to go and pray like I’ve never done. I prayed and I dreamt.
In the dream, I was on my period holding my special pad to go and change. My pastor’s wife met me on the way and asked why I was holding pad when I should be pregnant. I started crying in the dream and I woke up. I told my husband, called my mum and my pastors. We started praying cos it was a sign I was fighting a battle. My husband stood by me through it all. Few months later, my husband (who doesn’t dream) woke up and told me he dreamt I was fighting a very big snake, it had wrapped me up and I was struggling with it. He picked a cutlass, killed the snake, cut it into pieces and cooked it to eat. That week, my mum also dreamt that someone accosted her for not inviting her to my wedding after which she apologized to her. I knew God had won the war.
2 weeks after, my husband dreamt I did a pt and it was positive. Omo, I did a pt the following week and it was positive. For the first time in my 26yrs of life, I got pregnant! I cried, thanked God and begged Him to perfect everything.
At 20weeks, I started spotting at work and rushed for a scan which revealed threatened miscarriage. I was placed on bed rest and it was discovered I had pregnancy induced hypertension so I was placed on daily vasoprin 75mg to prevent pre eclampsia. It worked perfectly. Prof told me I would deliver via elective CS cos my uterus had too many scars for labour. At 34 weeks, I started contracting and rushed to the hospital. I had a fibroid which was degenerating and that was stimulating contractions. I was admitted and placed on drugs. Thankfully, it stopped. I started contracting again a day to my scheduled surgery, so prof wheeled me in for an emergency CS. God blessed me with my own child. He wiped my tears. He gave me a son who looks so much like my husband. God changed my name and now I’m called a mummy. Just take a minute to thank God for me.

BA!! BA!!
June mamas, I don born o

Aww.. I’m so sorry u’re going through so much. If u’re in ilorin, try UITH or Gracevid hospital at Agbadam

Greta86:

Good morning everyone

For about 2 years now I have been having heavy periods with frequent pelvic pain. So I went for scan and it turns out that I have large fibroids and bulky uterus.

my own is sad because instead of adding weight I don thin finish, I can’t go out again i don’t even look like myself anymore .I have been to so many hospitals in this Lagos and the price I'm hearing is in millions. I don google tire and still can’t find a good and affordable hospital I am seeing different types of surgery sef, like minimally invasive myomectomy, fibroid embolization and HIFU.
The doctor I saw last week said My Bono’s very high and my matter don reach emergency and I need surgery ASAP but I don’t trust the hospital because my friend did hers there since December and she has still not fully healed and they butchered her , her scar is terrible.
I have heard of people who did theirs and went home next day, Please I need help on affordable and experienced surgeons or hospitals
Thank you

Na wa o. Madam, staph is a normal organism on the body. There must be staph on ur body. That’s how God created us. If at all u have a urine infection, this so called doctor would hv given you Fleming or amoxyl and flagyll cos they are the recommended antibiotics in pregnancy.

Graciousking:
Good day mama in the house, im 4 months preganant, i did urine culture and it was discoverred i have moderate growth of staph thou no symptoms the doctor said he is sure the test result is not correct but said i should still use antibotics Eryglob 500 ( Erythromycin Stearate tablets) i dont know if i should use it or not base on i dont know the impact of the drugs on the baby.

Yaaaaay.. congrats

Thank you so much mamas. Thank you

Thanks be to God, I got discharged and I’m back home with my son still baking in my womb. Decided to go to work today since I was bored to stupor already, only for my MD to tell me that he’s not sure I’ll be re employed after my 3 months maternity leave cos he has employed someone to stand in for me during my absence. It just felt like cold water was poured all over my body. It really spoilt my day. I was actively trying to conceive for 9 months. I’ve had 2 myomectomies, 61 fibroids removed, 2 HSGs and one sono. We were preparing to start artificial reproduction processes when God stepped in. I literally saw hell and now my job is literally gone cos I’m procreating. Thanks be to God for everything. His plans for me are of good and not of evil. My bundle of joy is more than enough for me

Lol.. a fibroid can move o.. it’s called a pedunculated fibroid. It has a stalk which allows it to move from right to left or up and down. There are different types of fibroid

Amakapritty:


I dont think fibroid moves o
Mine is located on the right wall of my uterus and there is no way it should move........what type of fibroid do u have pls

If fibroid is moving, then it’s a pedunculated type of fibroid meaning it has a stalk which allows it move

AmNuhRegular:
Hi everyone, hope we're all good..

Just wanted to ask, for mums with fibroids.... Do you you feel the fibroid change positions sometimes...

I believe sometimes when the baby moves, it pushes the fibroid... Cuz sometimes I notice it is in a different position from time to time
