Mama deh mama! Show us the way

Itissettled3:
I have same issue, the milk was always making my baby choke. Do you have a breast pump?

What I Do is to express every 2/3 hours. I store the milk in freezer for later but this is dependent on NEPA.

I also express a bit before i start feeding baby to prevent choking him. Breast pads don't work well for me. I just started using New born diapers as breast pad.

BA! BA!! BA!!!

BS!!
All through the journey God was faithful, no MS despite d fact dat am a ftm, only dat I treated malaria 3times. Couldn't determine sex 'cos of d positioning for a long time, she was in transverse lie till 36weeks dis got me really worried I kept on praying n talking to my baby as well, by d time I did a scan @ 37 weeks she was in cephalic position already. Again I was tired n couldn't wait to see my baby I started evening walk but was lazy about it, so I started making declarations that my baby must arrive b4 EDD n has to come thru VD in fact Tuesday 'cos one of DH's friend who is my real gee's bday was on Tuesday. Beginning from 34th week I started having dis braxton hicks n from 37th week d menstral cramp keep coming on n off. Fast forward to Wednesday morning around 7:30am I started having contractions felt it was d normal one dat will come n go but it was consistent was exactly 39weeks. So I quickly had my bath n called DH to ask his friend to come pick me up, was even contemplating about carrying my bag thinking dey might send me back. On getting to d hospital around 11am checked n I was 2cm dialated I was admitted the VD examination is painful truely, d contraction kept progressing but was enduring it by 5pm was checked again n was 6cm so d doc said am progressing well so I won't be induced 'cos he was contemplating on inserting d tab. So he ruptured my membrane kai so painful by 9pm I was 9cm dialated was moved to d labour room d pain was unbearable but I kept on enduring didn't shout d nurses were so surprised as to how a ftm cld endure d pain so well was surprised actually 'cos d natural me cant even stand pain for long @ll but was already determined dat it was VD or nothing n was going to conserve my energy till wen its time to push. Felt d urge to poo n push but was told not to, d doc came in @ about 9:30pm there about was told to push @ every contraction I kept on trying naso d nurse said i was only shouting n not pushing dat I should push as if I was about to pass out a hard stool, sudden lay contractions wasnt so strong again as I was trying to push doc said cervix was thin but too tight upon all d kpekus with DH so he had to tell d nurse to add 1ml oxytocin Chai was so scared @ d mention of oxytocin 'cos I knew it was going to be very painful but it helped immediately contractions became so strong again I pushed@ every contraction but I had a perineal tear n was given an episiotomy. I pushed n baby was out was given an injection on d thigh n d placenta was out as well. D suture took over an hour but d area was numbed so didn't feel d pain.Then baby swallowed meconium immediately I remembered ma'am jazzjazz's lo, I got so scared but she's doing fine 'cos doc said staled meconium isn't bad n all was drawn out of her yesterday, by tomorrow we will be having a test for jaundice n God's willing be discharged still not lactating well but its gradually coming out little by little. DH was with me all thru d delivery process VD is painful o d back pain was out of dis world. I bless God in all
Thanks all n save delivery to all mamas

Pls mama's, is it necessary to treat malaria in pregnancy, I don't feel sick since, but saw people collecting malaria drug @ D clinic yesterday.. What if I don't use it. What will happen Co's I don't feel any malaria.

Malaria drugs in pregnancy is basically for preventive measures; you don't need to feel Malaria symptoms before your Doctor will give them to you. The idea is to protect you and your unborn baby from the parasite. In my case, I have already had the recommended two doses of Fansidar. You should be able to have your doctor address any further concerns you might have on the subject.

I take coartem at every ANC cos I'm very prone to malaria,I've been hospitalised once during the course of this journey due to low pcv, underwent blood transfusion (22%) as a result of severe malaria and I still take daraprim every Sunday,so you can't afford to be careless or carefree.

Giddyperson:

Cramping over Atleast today is ANC

Maybe u shd ask for a membrane sweep to knw how far ur cervix av gone weda its av started opening... If it av ripened..

Naomi14:
Mamas please what can I do or eat so lo's weight won't increase so much. Scan said 3.2kg already tho lo measured ahead 38weeks instead of 37weeks 2days. Am so worried about the weight.

My sister sumtyms scan dey lie oo...lol...its a rough estimate... At 36wks scan said she weighed 3.2....I was worried .... I now did anoda in a diff place and it said baby weighed 2.7..that was d one I believed....wen I put to birth ist thing I asked was her weight...and dey said 3.2kg...and it was a v.birth....u cn reduce ur calories and eat more of fruits...fruits without sugar...vegetable fruits...but the funny thing is if ur baby will be big he/she will surely be big no matter what....

I was given both in my second trimester, about six weeks apart. I know nothing about Coartem in pregnancy. Mine was Fansidar.

Teamie, try collect your drugs. Every month my Obs/Gyn gives me Fansidar malaria pills it's for prevention not necessarily because someone has malaria. As for the back aches, I usually have that too even waist pain sef. Sorry eh!

Congrats to mamas that have delivered. may your los birth bring good tidings to your homes.

Experienced mamas pls can a doctor sweep your membrane and ask you to go home?

Yes dear, a doctor certainly can. Infact, he can perform the sweep several times before your L.O decides to come out. Mine was twice and baby came out hours later. Wish you a smooth delivery.

[quote author=Dazzle86 post=55410905]
OMG, i am so sorry, but how did it happen, was she sick?

mamas please...

From delivery day I used tomee tippe breastpad and I really enjoyed it... when it got finished, I sent my mum to help me get it but she said it was not in stock so she got Chicco. though the. Chicco absorbed more than the former but I think my breast is reacting to Chicco ooo..it causes itchiness and small rashes...has any mama experienced reaction to breast pad?

I also bought avent washable breast pad but it is wack and big trash. it doesn't absorb. I was soaked seriously

I'm officially abandoning walking for stairs climbing, how many trips do I have to make before the baby comes out

Based on personal experience, orgasm is the fastest way to induce labour. I don't know about anyone else but it worked for me. So, you could try putting your D.H to work on that and see how it goes.

Thanks much for explaining, but I am using maternity (redeem) the midwife said I don't need to use since I don't feel it, that's why my husband said he doesn't want 'doctor Jesus kind of person' and the second hospital that am using is far. Can I still use it @ 36 weeks

That's one of the things I haven't tried yet. For like close to two months now, I just gave up, too much headache with stomach everywhere
