Bloomingbud:
Fellow mamas come to my aid o, I'm 35 weeks 5 days and the heaviness I feel is out of this world that I can't even walk straight my vjay aches like.

I don't even know what to do this children should do and come.

Momagic:
Birth Story - my due date was 18th January . My. cervix was softening but i was not dialated so I decided to wait a lil longer. I did everything from climbing stairs, taking pineapple etc except castor oil due to the side effects. At my 41 weeks appointment there was still no dialation. My doctor couldn’t do a membrane sweep because I had to be at least 1cm dialated. I did not want to go though hours of labour from being induced due to my experience with my first child where I was also past due so I opted for a CS. Checked into the hospital 5am in the morning with Dh as scheduled. The nurses came in to administer the IV and antibiotics. The anaesthetist came in and asked if I wanted to be awake during the CS and I answered yes. Hubby was given a surgical scrub to wear and I was wheeled into that theatre around 7:30am. A spinal anaesthetic was injected in my spine and I became numb from my chest down. My doctor and a baby doctor came in and the surgery started. Baby arrived around 8:30am. I was given my baby to hold for a few sec and he was taken away to be checked and cleaned up. I was stitched up, cleaned and wheeled back to a recovery room for monitoring for about 1hr before being wheeled to back my hospital bedroom. The pain is real! Thank God for a successful delivery

zaynie:
Hello moms and moms-to-be.
So MHC is about to go down and I have some newborn items (not new) with me that so far no one has requested for.
I'll really love for someone here to win them BUT I also wish it will go to someone who cannot afford it.

Thanks mamas

ElmaSpeed:
Team march sweeties, how are we? We are six weeks away (abi na 5?)
My fellow potential porters (curve . kekeakinwale.Happychildlove. Soonest. foreverjoy00. Elmaspeed. Showerses. youngmommypat.) are our bags packed yet?

I haven't packed for the hospital yet but i will soon. Let me share my list with us.

For mom:
1. Toiletries (bathing soap, cream, toothbrush and paste)
2. Sanitary pants/ pads (4 packs)
3. Toilet rolls (4 rolls)
4. Clean wrappers
5. Night wears, maternity bras, etc
6. Rubber slippers
7. Small black cellophane bag and old newspapers (disposables aren't disposed here without pre-packaging, which makes the waste bin less yucky)

For baby:
1. Toiletries (baby costmetics of your choice)
2. Baby wears (body suits, sleep suits)
3. Olive oil, menthylated spirit, cotton wool, cotton buds, antiseptic lotions
4. Baby shawls, baby sweater, socks, caps
5. Baby cup and spoon
6. Baby diapers
7. Flask for hot water

For those who are expecting to stay in the hospital for longer than a day, like me, start making plans. Pack extra everything or at least arrange for stuff to be brought to you from home during every visit. If you're a book person, take a novel with you. Personally i plan to have plenty movies to pass the time cos it gets pretty boring from day 3.

One more thing, ensure you ask questions during your antenatal classes concerning your birth center's policies so you can avoid unpleasant situations. If they are the kind that love to hold on to your leftover cotton wool or disinfectant or stuff like that, buy small packs of those things so you can leave them there without a fuss. If they are the kind that won't supply you hot water, arrange ahead for yours. Just prepare for the hours or days after birth, so there are no surprises.

I can't wait to start seeing our baby pictures. There shall be no loss in Jesus' name. Amen.

BABY LIST[b][/b]

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... Or...

Cloth Diapers. Cute, organic, affordable and Reusable. Absorbs a ton. Can be used from 2 months to 2.5 years and more than one child. This is not your mother's tie-pant. Please take a look at ours, all about this blog.
Baby wipes: look for the unscented ones, less likely to irritate skin. Buy cloth wipes, cheaper and safer because for a strange reason, all the ones on the market here are so fragranced and that causes a rash.

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 (remember Dove Pure and Sensitive soap is excellent from 3 months and much cheaper than regular 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? If breastfeeding, buy a Nursing pillow. Your back, your old age and a chiropractor will thank you. Formula, I don't really like Tommie Tippee because it's so hard. Dr. Browns came recommended (soft and good hole size so baby doesn't gulp) when I gave birth but it's not common in Nigeria.

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 (unless they have a fever) 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.

completey:
congratulations to our newest mama's.
@bloomingbud that was me some 3 weeks ago. I got some relieve 3 days ago only to come up with nosebleeding and trembling. It is well sha.Please too much paracetamol is not good in pregnancy esp. for a boy. Instead take hot water bath. pls not very hot . That too will also pass. kpele.

greenpenwriter:
@bolded, my mum warned me about this and I dismissed it by telling her guys don't have issues. They (my in laws) have suggested that he should move to my DH's younger sister's house. The guy does not like the idea of staying with his other siblings or parents because he can never be free.

Bloomingbud:
atumo mo, soon est, li oha and rh ukkie.

Thanks mamas, I just wish they can come earlier cos I'm so tired. I'll be 36 weeks on Wednesday and my legs are swollen.
