True talk mama its not easy if u can seek for help pls do a neighbour of mine put to bed last month she's practically doing all in the home down to [/b]even washing MIL cloths ooo,see mama DAT is supposed to assist came with a small girl[b] to do what she complains of body pain and the tear she had while delivering is still yet to heal. I just pity her she is working till evening baby keeps crying and her husband sis almost gave baby hot water to drink without allowing it to cool yesterday. Am already planning on how my lil sis can come around until easter next yr sha can go back.cos I had no help althru 4mnths of morning sickness just one kindhearted neighbor dat kept cooking for me, I can't pass thru dat again sha

Mo sorry... Though I know my MIL is very hard working and I've seen it but if it turns out like the above, na her son go do am oo or better still let my mum come and take care of her daughter...

My neighbour was telling me of how her friend's baby almost stopped growing cos of lack of care... Her Hubby brought in his sick grandmother cos his wife is a nurse and 2 extra grown people came with the grandmother. The wife has to make different foods as one is diabetic before going to work, she takes care of the house and all but the baby gets very little care. Baby fell sick and she was the only one in the hospital with the sick baby who eventually passed, what a world..

My motto with this belle is "if you can't ease me of my stress, don't add to it"

Rant time....

Now I've been having cough for some days cos of exposure due to the heat and now the cough pains in my right rib region.... Two days back I used honey which made it subside though I stil cough but it doesn't pain in the rib again as such..

Now this evening after my neighbour said hello and went In I coughed and had rib pull (like muscle pull) and I couldn't stand Straight , had to walk in like a slowpoke (I'm sorry but that's the best description I could get) with so much pull and pain in my right ribs . Thank God hubby was there to guide me in though with plenty laughter (donno what's funny) and questions on if it's labour.. To cough dey hungry me right now but when I try to my entire right side is like it's in serious shock ..

Has anyone felt like this before,what can I use? I've been massaged there but this is not heavenly at all , I just want to cough this last one in peace

Update::
A very big thank you to everyone who checked on me one way or the other, I'm so grateful..
After a long night, I woke up a little better with the rib-like contraction reduced only to start again.. We went to the hospital and I was given 2 intravenous pain relief and the third on my butt after which I was sent for an X-ray which showed there was nothing in my ribs and that they were normal (I could have sworn that Something was there). Went back to the hospital where it was confirmed that it was the muscles around the rib pulling and causing the pain,,, I was given pain relieving tabs and an antibiotic for the cough... All along my Lo was quiet inside and I was almost worried but as soon as the pain relieved me I could feel her almost everywhere.. I just knew it was my body preparing for labour.

And Please let's be careful with the drugs we are given at the hospital, better to be safe than sorry...
My Gynea was not on seat when I went, so I conversed with a general doc and the antibiotics given me was Arthrotec 75 which she said contains Diclofenac and Misoprostol (I exclaimed) but she quickly explained that diclo has tendency of causing ulcer while the misoprostol is to subside the diclo effect on the stomach lining.. On getting home I went on Google and saw that it's not suitable for pregnant women at all stages as it causes abortion, foetal death, premature something something etc though what she said about the drug was also true as I read it online so I picked my phone and called my gynae.. On hearing the drug name + how far gone I was, he screamed who gave you on the phone and I mentioned the doc, immediately he said I shouldn't use it, called the doc and scolded her then called back to apologise to me then told me to bring it back at my next appointment..

Thanks to everyone again for the show of love

Gist! gist!

I just finished packing my hospital bag
( decided to pack early ,I hope am not the only one) and am due in May (edd 9th/20th---different scan) according to lmp am due 19th.

It actually took some time because I had check the list one after another, ticking anything wey don enter bag.i had to remove one jumbo size toilet roll because the bag could not lock.maybe just leave it at home or just hold am for hand when going to the hospital(bdw the hospital required two)

I had a slight tough time choosing outfits bcoz of some factors,I have a ultrasound appointment soon.once I find out the gender hopefully,am planning to get gender specific clothing and swap them with the neutral ones at least for the comminghome outfits

Happy bumping to all the bumping mothers and baby dust to ttc moms.

FlowerGirl040:
If you don't have maternity belt,you can use wrapper. Me anytime I put to birth,I will massage my tummy morning and night with hot water when bathing, then tie the stomach,latest before a month my tummy is back to pre pregnancy. It works for me,my sisters and some women I know around.

is it massage or pressing with hot water

merieam16:

Press,then massage. By pressing with the hot water,it is more of making the tummy go back to pre pregnancy. For the massage is more of a relieve to those with stomach ache after birth.

Oh dear, seriously I don't know of any special cream. I only do make use of sheer butter, or Olive oil after the hot water,in order to prevent darken of stomach after birth.
