This fourth trimester is no joke at all.pls I have some questions so pls do reply or share ur experience with me.I gave birth through Cs two weeks ago and I am still seeing blood. I just want to know how long will I continue to see the blood or when will it stop and also when can I resume sleeping on my tummy ?
An aunt of mine told me to mix original ogogoro with uda and uziza seed to drink that it will wash my Tommy of every bad blood pls o is this safe? Has anybody done this before here?

Let all the bad blood come out. Continue with warm /mildly hot liquid, peppersoup and Co out will help. No give baby ogogoro drink for breastmilk o though some people use it but don't. I'm still seeing blood slightly as well, sometimes it doesn't drop in my pad but I'll see it in the toilet meaning there's still something..

I won’t encourage this mixture o, the blood will stop when it wants to.. As for sleeping on your tummy, you can start when you’re no longer feeling pains and comfortable with it

Hi mamas. I want to ask if there's anyone that got their first period and found out the second month that they are pregnant?
This is weird, but three of my friends that are already moms said I looked pregnant, but I got my period for this month, one of them said it isn't unusual not to miss the first period.
My next is in few days and I have been having sore breast, I feel completely sick now. Tho I am counting down to the day the next period will come before I know what next to do.

Good afternoon mummies and sorry for bringing this here.
Please for those who have experienced miscarriage in the past, did your period come a month after the bleeding stopped or does the body take time to settle like after childbirth?
I’m wishing all our waddling mummies safe delivery.

Please check with your paediatrician, it might be ok to use but don't just use it because of any family pressure, if it has an adverse effect you will be the one to carry the burden.

Sassy256:

Thank you. I'll take a test if the next one doesn't come on time

Pls can a my mummy pls post baby list for me

Amakapritty:
Pls can a my mummy pls post baby list for me

Diapers (buy one pack newborn, 2 packs size 1 and one pack size 2, to get you through that first few weeks. Then buy according to size after). newborns can go through 8 diaper changes daily (!!!! ) and boys pee more, but don't buy too many because you can't predict size of your baby and you don't know quickly they will grow (I've seen a baby go from newborn to size 2 in 3 weeks). so at least 1 or 2 pack of newborn diapers will hopefully last you for a week and if your baby still needs newborn, buy weekly. If after it finishes your baby needs size 1, at least you have 2 packs at home to give you time before having to run to the supermarket or market to buy more.

Baby wipes: look for the unscented ones, less likely to irritate skin.

Diaper rash cream: Sudafed is what all my sisters used (especially the one who is a pharmacist). But try and change your baby once it gets wet so it's not sitting in a wet diaper that ends up causing diaper rash.

onesies (if you're in Nigeria, get the sleeveless or short sleeved version. Do the same, one pack of 5 newborn, a one pack size 0-3).

try not to buy too many newborn sizes as babies grow like beans (very quickly). Even better, inherit some from others (I just got a lot of onesies and newborn clothing from someone whose baby has outgrown hers, so I didn't bother buying clothes).

Same with clothes and shoes, try not to buy too many until 3-6 months (God knows how many times I have been driven insane looking for one leg of baby shoe or sock that fell somewhere. And it wasn't even my own pikin sef ) get a few mittens until your liver is strong enough to file or cut those really sharp baby nails (because they will scratch their faces).

Receiving blanket, a few caps and some wrappers for swaddling. Ejoor look for really thin wrapper (the old type they sold was better and cotton, a breathable fabric which means less heat. So raid a parent's cupboard for their old wrapper). Or buy muslin swaddle blanket (size 44"x44" minimum).

Burp cloths: I don't like the terrycloth ones (those ones that look like towels) because they don't absorb well. Instead get the cotton clothe diaper (that rectangular fabric that's thick). Works like a charm and sometimes cheaper.

Do you have a car? If yes, get a car seat (convertible preferred over infant but you will most likely find infant more in Nigeria). Chicco and Graco make good brands.

It's upto you to decide if you want to buy pacifiers. One pack should be fine.

Bassinet and cot: if you can also inherit this from someone, do (they tend to be pricey). If not, just buy a travel bassinet and remember some babies hate cots (though eventually you will want your bed back and kick the baby out to their cot).

Towels: don't buy baby towels, they are usually very thin and stay damp longer and breakdown faster (mine was from Mothecare). Preferably buy regular very soft towel (100% cotton) which will last longer. Same with washcloth.

lots of small nylon bags and big trashbags for diaper disposal and a pack of Baking soda and a good dustbin with a lid. When you dispose of dirty diapers, use a good bin with a tight cover and sprinkle some baking soda at the bottom of the dustbin (this helps to trap odours). At the end of the day, you tie up trashbag and take it outside (instead of constantly running after every diaper change to fling it).

Baby set: please look for one that has nail cutter, thermometer, comb, nasal pump, baby medicine spoon, nail file. Avent sells one like that.

No need for stroller, especially if in Nigeria. Which road is not dusty and uneven unless you're in the mall. Get a baby carrier (Bjorn makes good ones, they're expensive but I inherited my sisters own 10 years later. Quality is cheaper in the long run).

Diaper bag: lots of decent ones out there (I got a messenger bag type so my hubby could carry it, my sister used a strong backpack). Look for one that has changing pad inside it.

Olive oil and Shea butter for body cream rather than baby body creams. I hear most of the Johnson's on the market is fake and at least Shea butter is cheap, natural and does a beautiful job, same with olive oil.

Baby wash

Bibs (look for one size fits all).

Treated mosquito net

Bouncy chair and activity gym (so you can keep your baby somewhere if you need to have your hands free, like when bathing or cooking or just watching tv or answering the phone. Activity gym is for when baby starts rolling, put it on the floor (because I'm tired of hearing stories like "my baby rolled off the chair and fell on the floor, should I go to the hospital?? ".

an electronic sterilizer set (microwave) because all the doctors in my house dislike sterilizing tablets. But it is your choice sha. Avent makes one sterilizer set that comes with feeding bottles so no need to buy any more.

Plastic spoon and plate (but you won't need this for a while).

Are you breastfeeding, pumping or doing formula?

Please don't dress your baby up more than you. If you feel hot, your baby feels hot (even faster). If you feel cold, your baby feels cold (even faster). So unless you're constantly in an a.c. on blast, ejoor let your baby relax and use less clothing. Yes, Mama Nkechi or Mama Teni will have all sorts of unnecessary and unwanted advise to give you, but please listen to your common sense. Please listen to your common sense more.

Please don't give your child baby paracetamol or agbo to drink. The only person giving you medical advise should be a pediatrician (who will also tell you what to do and how to treat circumcision and umblical cord.

That's the basics. As time goes, you will need more and realise some stuff you don't need. HTH

Make l go sleep

Wow! I got a birthday mate, welcome to the world Prince. Congrats to the family.

Honestly , the packages come differently … I have been battling with lower waist pain , pelvic and vaginal wall pain … can’t sit , stand up or turn on the bed with ease , the pains I feel in these areas ehennn.. it’s making me think I should do a VBAC o but husband man said No , we should stick to the process we are used to … so na to carry myself go back hospital next weekend

On a lighter note , that’s how I took myself to Lagos island on Friday for final shopping, Omo na so so iya ibeji , mama Ejima left right and center, some even said you still get time to do fashion .
some other people offered me their seat to relax in btw my waka waka because I was walking like a penguin going bk to the car , but mehnnn the waka was not funny at all o , felt it when I got home .
In fact LO sef was just kicking me anyhow as per say you don stress me today this woman , I will give you back gbas gbos . I Cldnt also do anything the next day , couldn’t lift my fingers . Se bi I for just stay around my neighborhood buy jeje …
but the shopping was worth it sha, I got home and was happy with what I bought . It’s just that one need to go to the real mother care section , so you don’t end up buying China products .

Na countdown mood we Dey like this, can’t wait to have myself back o because my tired is knackered already !

Layormiii:
This back pain since like 4days ago or so has refuse to free me. We have massaged, stretched, do everything doable...
And it's just one spot oo, one particular sport not the whole back o. Painful as hell
New day new pregnancy package.. nah everyday we dey massage am

Tnkx mama

Let me write my BS now that I’m fine and have the chance because I have not had good sleep for the past 3 weeks.

So I got married and TTC for 2yr. I was the only one TTC’ing cuz DH was fine but supported me all through the way.

1yr 6month was really daunting for me, thankfully, I saw the peoples doctor on IG because she helped figure out I wasn’t ovulating and gave me medication that didn't help, visited hospitals with DH several times, did hormonal profile test countless times,I did hsg,countless tests and triggered with hcg etc plus drugs and the journey began, I remember one test results showing anovulation, I usually cry whenever my period comes very trying times. I had to fast, pray and was very regular on Google searching. I went for several massage, it wasn't easy but it ended in praise.

August 2021, I wasn't feeling too well which was usual, I was expecting my flow, it didn't show, I decided to wait for till evening yet no show, na so I carry test kit........ Its was tears of Joy.

I never had any symptoms of vomiting and some food aversions funny enough, I had threatened abortion in my first trimeste, asides that I was strong enough to work till the last week of April 2022. I put to birth on 10th of May, 2022. I took my prenatals for the for the whole duration of the pregnancy & I stuck to fruits and healthy diet.

So on the 9th of May, we were already in the hospital because it was scheduled to happen the following day. So I proceeded to have my baby via CS at about 8:01am and he came out weighing 3.3kg.

Thank God recovery was smooth and I was discharged 3days later.

Now I look at my baby and I can’t be more grateful to God for everything he has done.

Pojomojo:
Good afternoon Baby came this morning at 8:31am weighing 3.3kg

Ogogoro, uda and uziza, lol what kind of concoction is that? I hope you know your diet affects your breastmilk. Biko dont take anything you are not sure of please. The blood would stop anytime, it can even last till a month. Its not an issue. You can sleep on your tummy whenever you are feel comfortable with it.

Thank you sis.i was shocked too about the mixture but she was saying I am not the first person to give birth so I should take advice,I just said okay ma I have heard but I am yet to do it

Omakraid:

Let all the bad blood come out. Continue with warm /mildly hot liquid, peppersoup and Co out will help. No give baby ogogoro drink for breastmilk o though some people use it but don't. I'm still seeing blood slightly as well, sometimes it doesn't drop in my pad but I'll see it in the toilet meaning there's still something..

Thanks dear. I am still taking hot liquids

Amakapritty:


I bleed for like a week and period came 28 days from the day I miscarried.....currently pregnant after that period

Thank you ma. I bled for about a week also. It’s over a month now and I’m yet to get another period. I didn’t get my period till my first baby was 6 months so I was wondering if it’s same thing.

PREGNANCY AND BIRTH STORY

This is my only pregnancy I didn't TTC for. I had made a list of supplements to buy to boost ovulation and also a diet plan for fertility but I missed my period that very month.

The pregnancy journey was smooth. I ate plenty, mostly bread, yam and afang soup; I couldn't seem to get enough of these.

I was stressed daily. No househelp to assist. Husband working outside town and only coming on weekends. Waking up early everyday to prepare my older kids for school, meeting up with my responsibilities at work, striving for excellence at my post graduate program etc were constant challenges I overcame daily.

At 35 weeks, I fell in the bathroom. I am ever grateful to God who answered my prayer within a split second and i landed on my bum. I was scared but calm. God gave me the strength to pick myself up with my children and drove to the hospital that night. Got scanned and baby was okay. My severe waist pain began because I was not given any medication. Standing, sitting, lying down and even walking for long became a challenge.

I got scheduled for a CS at 38 weeks 3 days. I tried to get it brought forward but the doctor was adamant. I told him about the traumatic experience I had during and after the vaginal delivery of my first son therefore he should not expect me to forgive him if I fall into labour before the scheduled day. Thankfully I did not.

On Friday, 27th May at about 4pm, I got prepared for the surgery. I was given the spinal anaesthesia and unlike my first CS it didn't work properly. I felt the pain when I was cut. I almost screamed on the third cut and the doctors really needed to work fast to avoid it wearing off completely. My Jehovah Lord God of host put me to sleep and I didn't feel a thing again. My husband said our second Prince charming was brought out at 4:20pm. I woke up as I was being wheeled out of the theater.

May God grant every pregnant woman safe delivery and also provide the means to take care of those babies adequately.

May God remember those in the waiting room especially tripletwins222 who has been in the TTC group since when I was TTCing for my first child, replace the tears of despair with tears of joy and silent their mockers forever. Amen.

Bye to sweating under the boobs during pregnancies as I don hang boots!

Cc. Expectantmom and all May, 2022 mamas.

I won’t encourage this mixture o, the blood will stop when it wants to.. As for sleeping on your tummy, you can start when you’re no longer feeling pains and comfortable with it

Thank you sis
