Hello mama.
Do you know it's exact name? I can't seem to remember

zaynie:
I've sent her a message

zaynie:
There are many brands of baby cream that are safe to use.
Cussons has a complete box of everything including oil, lotion, powder, wash, soap tablet,.
Angels, Johnsons also have similar sets too.

Jimpo is the natural version. Has all natural Shea butter and tear free black soap too. If you'd like to go natural for her, use Jimpo and coconut oil for her.

Boots soap bar is also great. Affordable and plenty, 4 big bars can last roughly six months sef. It has lotions and head to toe wash too

Then there's the high end ones.
Chicco
Sebamed
Aveeno
Johnsons (there's the US and the Italy)


Please try to educate them on why Caro White is terrible for anyone one, talk much of a child!

For her hair, there are many hair care ranges for kids.
I usually subscribe to them from when my kids are 6 months old.
There's Maracruiz (tested and trusted, has a whole range too) , Chebe hair care ( Aim07 here sells the whole range and it works! That's what I use for my kids currently and I'm already seeing changes especially with my littlest that has chop chop hair )
Then they should get a spray bottle and put water and coconut oil, mix and spray her hair whenever they want to comb her hair.


Well done Daddy.
You're doing well.

My princess made her grand entrance this morning via elective C Section at 37weeks 4 days.
EDD: 2/1/2021
DOB: 16/12/2020

May God continue to make it smooth for the rest of December and January mothers.

Supernatural delivery of healthy mother and baby is all we ask of the Lord.

katchycouture:
This is the same with us, my baby girl is also 4weeks old and her eyes are yellow, a jundice test was done after her birth and the paediatrician said there was no jundice. What else could be the cause?

BS! BS!! BS!!!

God is indeed faithful to those who truly believe in HIM. This time last year (I lost my first baby November 10th) I was still mourning the death of my baby that died 3 days after her birth as a result of complication at birth but with the help of DH we were able to find happiness and reason to thank God for everything. By December DH was to travel out of the country to complete an unfinished business in which I was left alone with his sister who do come and go, during that period I just want to make myself fit and get prepared for the arrival of DH for us to try another baby but was known to me and my brother who wanted me to conceive as quick as I can.

DH came back in last day on the year and I was desperately willing to conceive by tracking my ovulation period and using folic acid. I got a new job which I was happy but was sad the first day I resumed my new job because colour red came knocking likewise the following month. At that moment I told God that I don't want to see this anymore for the next 9 months for good reason so by mid March I tested positive and I broke the news to DH and he was so happy. I registered at a CAC Maternity home and general hospital both at Igando, did scan and other necessary tests.

First trimester was more than being smooth for me, no symptoms I just vomited once and second trimester as well but third trimester was partially painful due to pelvic pain, to stand up from bed and turn became war but because hubby is a very fragile type I do keep it to myself in order not to scare him.

Delivery
The first scan I did gave me 15 as EDD while by my own calculation is 18, the second scan gave me 18 but maybe because I told the sonographer my LMP sha I can't say. Two week before EDD I saw show so I told hubby thinking my baby was coming in the next 24hrs but Google told me otherwise and I was calmed until I saw one of our teamie that saw Show the same day I saw mine and she gave birth the following day which made anxiety to set in for me because no labour pain except false irregular contraction that lasted more than a week.

The day of my delivery God really shown me HIS mercy, on the 18th I went to our church preggy woman prayer meeting I was the only one that came so I told my pastor that I'm due so he prayed inside water for me and told me that I'm giving birth tomorrow which I quickly claimed with faith so Itrekked home instead of boarding bus and I aggressively ate dates fruit before going to bed. At 4am which was on the 19th contraction started but didn't took it serious because I was thinking it may be normal false ones I've been having but when I remembered what my pastor told me I started timing it but I do remember to start it when contraction start but forget to stop it when contraction stop so I just kuku abandon that one. After cleaning the house and cooking I decided to tell hubby but wasn't serious about it because it was not that painful so when it was 2pm I came here to asked questions which some mama told me to do little exercise so I told hubby to on gen for me that I wanted to dance which I did after but do squart whenever contraction hold me when it was 4pm I took a nap but couldn't sleep deeply by 5pm I stood up, swept the room and sitting room, clean the kitchen and washed the dirty dishes and head to bathroom to scrub it while at all these hubby was screaming at me to let us leave for the hospital, midwife calling hubby and I but hubby is not aware because I'd silenced our phones deliberately because I don't want to be sent home back or do exercise at the clinic, I preferred to be with my husband at home to do whatever I needed to do to fasten my labour instead of them shouting at me (I told her earlier about how I was feeling that's reason she was calling for me to start coming), after scrubbing the bathroom I sat down under the shower screaming and praying for mercy while hubby stood looking at me helplessly, the pain became to intense, I rushed to the room screamed at hubby to let us leave for the hospital with tears and loud cry while wearing my cloth, couldn't stand properly anymore, I sha managed to enter the car, we drove down to the maternity home (my bag has been there for almost a month), we got to the hospital at exactly 6:30pm I couldn't walk anymore shouting at them that I want to poo hubby and the mid wife were able to put me in bed, I was given a drug under my tongue, the pain became unbearable but was still able to be dialling the nurse number whenever it relieved me, the nurse arrived and told hubby to assist them to on the gen, when the three of them left I put my hand inside my jajana I saw my baby head, I screamed for hubby and the nurse name, the nurse came in while hubby was still trying to on the Gen so I told the nurse that I saw my baby head but I need to poo first so from afar (she was putting on gloves) she told me to poo there without hesitation this hot heavy smelly (I'm sorry for this) came forth with my baby after two push before hubby and the midwife could on the gen. It was my baby cry that draw their attention that they both left the gen so see where that loud baby cry was coming from, hubby seeing his baby knelt down praying and crying and the nurse gave the baby to us to pray and after that we were both cleaned and we were discharged 7am the next day because hubby doesn't want us to stay long since the nurses said we were both fine and I don't want other preggy mother's to see me because it's our maternity prayer meeting day.

THIS IS HOW GOD CHANGE MY NOVEMBER OF TEARS TO NOVEMBER OF HAPPINESS.

We ask through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

VERY LONG POST ALERT

Ngwanu, grab ya popcorn and juice, and enjoy the jolly ride. I will try to summarize cos story plenty. I hope it will be a worthy read.

PRE-PREGNANCY
My marriage was at the verge of being over because I had had enough of its wahala, coupled with a man who things were not going well with, and then, who was steady pouring his frustrations on me. Hubby and I didn't use to talk to each other sef, let alone play mommy and daddy. I had secretly planned my relocation to Abuja to get my sanity and move on. Before then, I was on contraceptive pills since August 2013 after I had my daughter, and it worked perfectly well for me, until October last year. Things were so bad financially for us and for me that I could not afford to buy my pills. How much? #150!
Yes! It was that bad. I got tired of begging people for money to get by so I locked up, afterall, I wasn't having sex with anyone.
Fast forward to early January this year, a friend who had been talking to me asked me to approach hubby and give him sex, and that from there, we could talk things out. He never supported me leaving my marriage. I had just finished my period and felt I wasn't fertile so I have nothing to lose. I approached hubby at night where he usually slept cos we weren't sleeping in the same room anymore. I seduced him and voila! it happened. Guy didn't even withdraw. I wasn't perturbed too since I had been on pills for almost 7 years. I thought belle no fit enter just like that na.

DISCOVERING PREGNANCY
So, I wondered why my period was unusually scanty in January. Imagine, I had forgotten about the sex. I was preparing for my relocation to Abuja, buying a few things and all when it dawned on me that my last period only came for one day. I explained to a pharmacist where I was buying deworming drug for my kids and she asked me to get a test strip and test for pregnancy. I laughed and declined. After buying the drug, she didn't have #50 change, so I asked for the test strip na.
Saturday 1st February, 2020, I wanted to pee and remembered the strip. I did the test with confidence that the pharmacist didn't know what she was saying. Lo and behold, two bold lines were looking at me. I was confused. I went to buy another strip o. Did the test again, and the two bold lines showed up again.
A mixture of emotions went all through my body. I walked up to hubby who was sleeping on the couch (Someone I hadn't talked to in months). I showed him the strip, he too was confused. He didn't say a word. That night, he moved back into our bedroom. I cried cos I felt this pregnancy is going to destroy my secret plans and preparations, and I couldn't bring myself to abort it. I kept doubting until I went for a scan and they told me that I was pregnant cos they could see a fetal pole.

EARLY PREGNANCY
Hubby mysteriously and miraculously accepted the pregnancy. He pampered me like no tomorrow. I had terrible morning sickness. He would make tea and bring to my bed. He'll boil water and keep in the bath tub for me to bath, make ice cubes for me to chew on while at work. Oh, my husbandman did everything. I was just a vegetable. This was same person who had been my live-in enemy for months. That was how I was able to manage the first few weeks until covid19 wahala and we were all at home. I wasn't working, hubby hadn't been working since 2018. No way to feed or buy baby things. Pregnancy after 7 years. I had nothing. We had nothing. Then hubby started drama.

He who had told his mom of my pregnancy out of excitement at the early stage when she came visiting started telling his family members that he is not sure he is responsible for the pregnancy. It was his brothers' wives who started calling me to ask what happened. He refused to give me a dime to get the hospital requirements and baby things. I had to beg my mom to feed. After sometime when people were allowed to move, I'd pack a few clothes and my kids and go to my mom's place to stay so we could eat. It was that bad. In June/July, same DH told his family and mine that he wanted a divorce. They called for a family meeting. No one supported him, not even his family. Everyone of them was trying to do whatever they could to make me happy. One would send me money, the photographer did me a free photoshoot, everyone would frequently call just to make me happy. After everything was resolved, he admitted that it was frustrations that got the better part of him. Amazingly, in all these, I was not perturbed one bit. Till things got back right again and I decided to enjoy my pregnancy.

LATE PREGNANCY
So schools were asked to resume but because of how advanced my pregnancy was, coupled with the bad roads and outstanding debt of school fees for my kids, I couldn't resume. My kids couldn't go to school too. We just stayed at home waiting for this baby to come and let me have my life back. It seemed like forever. No sign of labour or approaching labour. All along, it had been a perfect pregnancy, but by week 38 or thereabout, my BP started rising like dough with yeast. At every antenatal check up, I was given nifedipine under my tongue and I was told it can be managed and not too serious. My feet was swollen and heavy at week 40. I was given an injection and told I would drain the fluid through urine. It happened like that, but a week after, the swollen feet returned much more than what it was before sef, and very painful. I just felt it was the end of pregnancy so I wasn't bothered. I never knew I had eclampsia. Never experienced it in previous pregnancies, never knew anyone who had it too. I just wanted labour to come.

LABOUR/DELIVERY
My EDDs had passed, no sign. If I hear that someone had put to bed, I'll feel bad that mine hadn't come. Until I begged hubby for sex. After he managed to do, the next morning, I saw my show. I was excited. By Sunday 18th, I started having contractions. I went to the clinic and after vaginal examination, I was just 4cm and asked to go back home till contractions were stronger. All through that night, the contractions were hellish. I was using a contractions timer app until it got to an average of 15 minutes by Monday morning. I had my bath and left for the clinic. Though I can't remember how I got to the hospital that Monday morning, I only remember I was checked by the matron and told I was 6cm. That's all I remember.
My mom and husband told me they came to meet me on my bed in the ward, and I told my mom I couldn't see anything again.
Before she could say sorry, I started convulsing.
She said I started foaming in the mouth and stretching. She screamed and called the matron. The matron put spoon in my mouth, beat me and all, just to stabilize me. They managed to stabilize me a bit and put me in the matron's car to take me to another hospital where they can handle my case. On the way, while in the car, my water broke and the head of the baby was showing. I started convulsing again. They beat nonsense out of me to stabilize me, yet no way. I was still stretching. My husband's hands were in my mouth, I was bleeding from the mouth, he was bleeding from his hands because I had clenched them with my teeth and stretching. On getting to the hospital they were taking me to, over 10 people rushed to hold me as they said they screamed Emergency o.
I was rushed to the delivery room. They tried to stabilize me as the convulsion started again. They finally did and when they checked, my BP had shot up to 202/100. They said the baby is not big but because of the high BP, if I push the baby, it will be 50/50 or I run mad or maybe paralysed.
They fixed oxygen. The first tank finished. They fixed the second one, then brought the BP down a bit. Then, the doctor told my husband it is a 50/50 chance, he should sign the consent form and choose who they should save. He said he shouted and said God forbid. He wants both his wife and his baby. He said he kept telling me in my ears to remember my other two children, my mother and him. He was speaking in tongues like no tomorrow. He called his mom, my pastor, everyone.
When the doctor to perform the surgery came, he asked both my mom and hubby out of the delivery room. They couldn't even take me to the theatre. The doctor faced the wall, knelt down, prayed, sent them out and did the caesarean. When he brought out the baby, she cried a bit, stopped and turned green. They abandoned me and fixed oxygen on the baby. They stabilized her, then faced me. The operation was done around past 9am, I regained a little consciousness and opened my eyes by 9.35pm. I didn't know where I was. I woke up and was telling my husband that the baby in my womb is not allowing me to be comfortable and that I want to turn to my side because I was sleeping on my back, he was laughing at me.
With the way he was looking at me, I then asked him if I have given birth, he said yes. I didn't believe. I said it was a lie. He bought the baby to me, I still didn't know where I was. I regained full consciousness on Thursday morning. Me that gave birth since Monday morning.
My recovery was fast and still in progress, and we were discharged on the following Friday.
God did a great thing and indeed we are glad. I am happy to have my baby in my hands. Daddy is glad. Big brother and sister are elated, and my mom can't stop singing and dancing for joy.

BS Submitted as I sign out of the month of October, extremely grateful to God for how far He has brought us. Indeed, it was a journey! Boots officially thrown into the lagoon

As we await the month of November. We need to be on the lookout for labor signs and body changes.

It’s the event you've been happily (and nervously) anticipating for months: your baby’s birth! Here are 10 signs that labor is near and your baby's birthday is almost here.
Many a pregnant mom has wondered how just how labor will feel, how long it will take and how to know whether it's the real deal or just a false alarm.

It’s hard to predict the answers to all those questions, since every birth is different, but knowing what labor is and what signs to look out for will help provide clues that it's almost time to meet your baby!

What is labor?
Labor is the process of childbirth, starting with contractions of the uterus and ending with the delivery of the baby.

If you're like a lot of pregnant moms, you're probably wondering how you'll know for sure that you're in labor. Look out for these 10 signs of labor that tell you baby's on the way:

Baby "drops"
Cervix dilates
Cramps and increased back pain
Loose-feeling joints
Diarrhea
Weight gain stops
Fatigue and "nesting instinct"
Vaginal discharge changes color and consistency
Stronger, more frequent contractions
Water breaks
