The month of March has finally come to an end.

To the glory of the Almighty God, we came, we delivered our babies no loss was recorded its not by our power nor by might, we say a very big Thank you to God. I pray our children be a continuous source of joy to us, May they be the coolness of our eyes, the good Lord will continue to provide all we need to take care of them.
Congratulations once againr.

Why did this post make me emotional? Chai
Abi is it post partum blues?

Anyway congrats to my fellow march teamies and a big thank you to cappo mzleemah for keeping tabs so diligently, three gbosa for you.
May God bless all our new born babies and grant easy delivery to those expecting.

TiffanyJ:
Good afternoon dear. Were you able to travel? How is baby? Your thought crossed my mind today and I decided to check on you

We've gotten home thank God.
Thanks for showing concern

TiffanyJ:
Since you will charter the car, I think it will do. My baby was 10 days old when we made a journey of over 2hrs. I know a woman that made a journey of up to 7hrs two days after her baby was born.
First, you have to make sure baby is comfortable and well covered.

Thanks a lot, this really put my mind to rest.

Hello everyone,
Please can I travel with a ten day old baby by road for 8 hrs trip?
I want to charter a car for myself and her to travel to another state for some time because the one we live in presently is having issues with corona/covid19.

Is it safe to do an 8hr trip with a ten day old baby? Has anyone here done that before?
Thanks

LegitDiva:
Baby is still very tender please sis. What about quarantine? Total lockdown in your current abode? All these military checkpoints and potholes on the road. Flight is even better

We thought about taking flight but the airport itself is a danger zone because people working there might have been exposed to foreigners before FG shut down international flights.

coolangel54:
I believe you can do it but how are you sure where you are going to isn't exposed to COVID-19 or the driver sef? Anyways, if you still insist on going, kindly wind up the glasses as baby needs no air. He is to tender for such a long trip if you ask me. One month is okay

I am very sure of the new location, more supplies and more safe and convenient. I have no choice but to go, trust me if I could avoid it I would.

Nyxx123:
Aha Mama i beg to differ, flight is not better. If she is sure of the driver, then yes she can ply via road. I believe she wouldn't get anyhow driver.
@nahzyla if you are sure of the new environment, I think you can travel by road, all you need to do is take the necessary precaution. Ensure baby is fully covered, take along with you a can of water, hand sanitizer and liquid soap.
Ensure you charter an AC fitted car and pls take along with you a help(nanny or relative) and clean the part where you and baby will seat

Thanks a lot. that's what I plan to do, get a clean air conditioned car and go with my mom.
I just tire for this corona virus matter coming up at the very wrong time.

Everybody help me thank God for successful pregnancy journey and safe delivery.
I gave birth to my darling DD on 17th of March2020. We are all doing very well and healthy.
I no sabi put story make una no vex, but my BS is basically that I had to do emergency CS due to unrelenting high blood pressure and preeclampsia.
Everything went well. Thank God.

Jman06:
lol...I edited when I noticed you did same.

Of course, we ain't bothered about the kind of man ladies choose to marry provided they don't disturb us with the consequences of their choices. It's a free world

Fair enough

Jman06:
Men are different my dear. while some men even do more of those trtratrtradtrtratrtraditratradtrtratitradional women's roles, others may not want or are simply not cut out for such roles. Just find yourself the kind of man you think is good for you ok

Lol @ bold

Likewise men should stop complaining when women look for rich husbands that can provide for them and keep them as trophy wives instead of co breadwinners.
Enough of the 'liability' and 'gold digger' insults thrown at such women.

crackkhaus:
You're pivoting.

My question was, how should women without any source of income help themselves in marriage?

What a question

Inside of Africa where for a very long time women were supposed to depend on men for livelihood and even in religious books till today men are ordained by God to be providers. Let's pretend we don't understand why many women don't see the need to have their own sources of income.

As for your question about how women without income should help themselves, we have to do away with traditional roles and women should take up jobs and earn money after marriage. That is why it's extremely imperative for men to assist with housework or typical women's chores to make things easier for their wives.

Jman06:
I wasn't being sarcastic in my comment joor

It's the age of gender equality and we must be equal in all aspects

Problem is that men want women to traditional duties but try feel too big to share women's roles.

Either too big or too proud or too inconsiderate.

rvpbae:
Pls what pack is this? I'm referring to the giga economy pack.

Okay I was talking about medium size with 28 pieces.
I am not sure of giga price but I think its 4000

Jman06:
Ah!! But I agreed with you nau

Add more sarcasm to this your comment na, the way you added sarcasm to the first one so that I can truly know that you agreed with me

rvpbae:
Pls mamas how much is molfix diaper size 5 and 3 sold in the open market? As well as little angels( not asda), M and L sizes?

Its urgent pls. Thanks

I don't know of little Angel's but molfix is 1800 for size 5 and 3

Jman06:
Yes!

We'll even draw up a roaster indicating the days of the week each partner should do the cooking and dishing.
We'll equally get our own wrappers with which to tie the babies on our backs when going out.
In fact, we'll even share who should impregnate and who should be impregnated each time we want to have a baby! Wonderful!

Lmaoooo

Lol,
Very funny
Tell men to do housework they start getting angry and offended but they are perfectly fine with women working like Jackie to feed them and the children and join in paying houserent and other bills.
Men are not too superior to spend their wives sweat but they are too superior to be responsible for housework.

Hello mums,
I have a question to ask sorry if I sound a bit ignorant by asking but I wanted to know

Why are many moms against CS so much to the point of endangering their lives?
I have a friend who lost a previous pregnancy to BP issues then she took in again and also had BP issues again. When her due date was close her doctor scheduled her for CS because of her BP but she didn't go, she stayed home until labour started and became so severe before going to the hospital just because he wanted to give birth through vagina. That act of hers was life threatening because it's possible to have seizures from BP while in labour but she didn't care.
Another woman I live in the same area with, she lost her life from bleeding after pushing a very big baby through her tiny pelvis. This woman was also scheduled for CS but she and her husband agreed she will not do it but will give birth at home through vagina.
Another one of my sister in laws also suffered severe cervix tears and had to be stitched from anus to vagina because of pushing out a very big baby of almost 5kg. The woman was scheduled for CS but she refused to go and decided to give birth naturally instead so she stayed home till labour started that's how she ended up having very bad tears when giving birth. The woman lost so much blood during delivery and was in hospital for a long time because of the trauma her system went through

Please I just want to know why women are so against CS. Personally I don't think its that bad or maybe its my ignorance, a part from longer recovery period or cost why exactly do so many people hate it?

crackkhaus:
False equivalence.

Men can outsource these things and pay professionals to do them.

How should women without a source of income help their own lives?

If you like outsource, if you like do it yourselves, the important thing is that you realise it is now your responsibility since your wife is feeding you and paying bills.

Its however important for men to have the knowledge because of emergency situations

Jman06:
And even wedding expenses and family expenses should be shared equally between the man and the woman.

In fact, enough of the double standards!

As long as una gree to be entering kitchen to cook along with wife and wake up to take care of baby, go shopping in market for food. sweep, wash etc.
Then well and good, women will take up all these responsibilities.

Mindlog:
There is no double standard regarding the advice. Does it make sense for any human being be it male or female go into getting married and having children without a sustainable source of income. What would the woman and the children depend on should the husband lose his means of livelihood, fall sick or dies. We all have brains to come up with ideas to earn us income legitimately.

While the wife is hustling the husband should realise that housework is now shared responsibility between him and his wife.
Cooking cleaning, child care etc. One person cannot carry housework on her head and also be breadwinner then the other one that is supposed to be stronger than her is only acting as co breadwinner

Asapretty:
In another news I will be 41 weeks by Friday and Braxton Hicks I no see, contraction sef I no see I don Taya oh.

Please go to the hospital asap

Men who cannot cook and clean and care for kids should not get married either.

Enough of the idiotic double standards.

Mums please help me, I don't know if this is labor pains, it started on my right side of my groin and spreading to my right lap, all round the thigh


Just one side. For like two hours now. Its consistent, does not come and go.

Can labour pain feel like this?

Mzleemah, update gender to XX, thanks

Please help me mums,
For the past two nights I have not been able to sleep on my sides. I normally only sleep on either left or right side because of huge bump but since yesterday if I sleep on my sides i start feeling like i am choking and not getting enough air and i will start breathing deep to get more air,
This is very uncomfortable and i can't fall asleep like that.
If instead I sit up and rest my back against something and try to sleep in that position, it works and sleep starts taking me immediately because I don't get choked like that but it's very hard to sleep while sitting down. I can't cope without sleep, please help me.
Since morning I have been feeling feverish and extremely tired because of lack of sleep.
How can I stop the choking and be able to sleep comfortably on my side? Right and left?
Thank you.

spixytinxy:

377:
Abuja here we are still experiencing harmattan oh till tomorrow heat no wan come

Lol, thank God ooo, I like it like that.
Till now this morning strong harmattan breeze still dey blow my side for Abuja. I hate hot weather like kilode.....

zaynie:
If your child is stooling uncontrollably either due to viral or bacterial infection please try pap therapy.


Pap therapy for diarrhea
Cook some pap.
Mix equal amount of raw pap with the cooked pap and give child every 2h.
The stooling will reduce.
Make sure you give the child every 2h or at least every 6h.
If child vomits, try to control the vomiting first then give child the pap.


Also noteworthy is not to ever ever give vaccine to a sick child! Don't even try it!
The vaccine may for a number of reason take advantage of the child's weak immune system and be the cause of a second illness which would be very fatal.
Also, know that even the rotavirus vaccine can make a baby stool. It contains the virus and may elicit symptoms in some children in order to wake up the antibodies.

Thank you so much for the helpful advice. Will keep the pap therapy in mind.
Thanks

One you hear outbreak of anything, keep your child at home. Please, it can be very inconvenient but do so for the sake of that child.

May God always protect our little ones.
If you're a working mom, have a list of like 3 back up creche, standard enough for you to make a switch on a short notice.

My worry is that you cannot know if any child in the back up creches also has the sickness causing the outbreak. Some might be asymptomatic or even symptomatic and the creche staff will continue to keep the child with healthy kids, maybe because no room for isolation or they are scared to tell the parents to keep the child at home. My former creche was like that. The lady in charge of the creche keeps very obviously sick babies with healthy ones because the moms have jobs to get to and cannot keep the children at home.
I m supposed to go to antenatal tomorrow but I might have to cancel that one and stay home with baby because I don't know if any of my regular creches have been exposed to the rotavirus or whatever is causing this outbreak.

Chimzy09:
There was cholera outbreak in the east in the past month and one child I know died..no bed spaces in hospitals as well. The one you described might be the wearher...DD had cough, cattarh and the likes the whole of January. It was so bad that mucus used to block her eyes when she wakes. She just got better this month even though her nose is still crusty and she still demands for water through the night and immediately she wakes in the morning

Thank God she's better now.

I wish we know for sure what caused this outbreak so people can know what to avoid and which precautions to take. Abuja own is not cholera, at least I don't think it is. I know someone who only give bottled water to their kids (like myself)and are meticulous with hygiene and they were also affected.
