Sabi mamas, we are 2 months few days after delivery and still spotting dark bloody discharge. Is it normal or should I be worried about it?

It comes and go; some days am totally dry and others the discharge.

Last week I saw menseslike flow for 3 days instead of the normal 7 days and very light instead of heavy duty flow that used to be my signature.

Hormones are still settling down.
Just keep a spare pad in your bag till your body resumes normal routine.

Take a deep breath sis. My son convulsed like 3weeks back and was due to high temp(40),we were even in the docs office when it happened. So he was immediately sedated to avoid a repeat. We were admitted and the ran tests to find out the cause. It was diagnosed as a simple convulsion cause all test came out negative. We were told it could happen again if his temp goes up again. So dear, try take her to the hospital to see a paediatrician so tests could be done to determine the cause. And question like how long it lasted (ie the convulsion) lasted so the could determine if is a simple one. She will be fine dear, sorry for the long epistle. Hope it helps
Thanks sis, I will surely take her to hospital for proper examination. Thanks

Calm down and take a deep breath ma'am. God be with you and heal your baby of all diseases.

I read your story initially and waka pass because I was livid with the incisions given to your LO and the egbere tag given to that innocent child.

Please stand your ground with your family members and insist no more visits to traditionalists and herbs drinking! Take your baby to the hospital for proper management of the convulsion and adhere strictly to the medications. Relay your fears/concerns to the doctor (s) in the hospital.

Your own your child (ren) a duty to protect them. Stop all these my family members/in-laws suggested solutions that are crude. Haaaa! I am seething with anger and I hope you are able to take your stand firmly.

I apologise if I touched the wrong nerves sis. God be with you
I understand sis, if it to be my family, how will know how to handle them. We live together with my Mil, she is a good mother but I just can't bear this. She is taking it too far but I will surely find a way and put an end to all these dramas. Thanks sis

Good evening sabi mamas, abeg make everyone chuck mouth for this. Help a first time mum
1. i thought during immunization, they suppose to check my baby weight? when we went for six weeks, i noticed they didn't check. After dismissal, i insisted i want to know my DS weight and the nurse reluctantly did it for me. Then last week i went for 10weeks, that same nurse flared up oo, that is it because he checked for me last time i came? that i should nt ask her that again. This is government health center i went to oo, coz i gave birth at teaching hospital and its 2hrs far from where i stay.

2. Ds weighed 5.9 at 6weeks and 6.2 at 10weeks. is it normal?

3. i didn't get Rota virus, and nurse said i shoud not worry that its not that important. is that true?

4. my Ds stoped taking anything in bottle, both formula and expressed breast milk. he only takes water. pls has anyone experience sudden refusal to take bottles. am confused oo
biko sabi mamas


Don't mind her oooo Rota virus is important for your baby. I heard its given at private hospital.its expensive sha.

My twinnie, i understand how u feel. Sadly, we cant b with them all d tym in our lives. It's just part of their growing up. I resumed work when she was 3months. I have a 9-5 job n all i do is express n go breastfeed once during my break. She's on exclusive. I got her a nanny n they stay close to my office at a friend's shop. So she also helps to monitor her. Pray 4their protection always. You both 'll b fine

Awwwnnn.....Thanks mama....I will try and hope he is treated well wherever I put him and also pray for him too.

I know I can bare my heart here. Honestly these people are driving me crazy. My child had experienced convulsion twice within two months. She was rushed to hospital on those occasions.

In between, local herbs seller made herbs drink for her. After the last incidence, my in laws took her one woman... imagine telling them her child is possessed with 'elegbe'. My hubby couldnt do anything, all he wanted was a lasting solution. The woman ended up giving my child 'gbere' all in the name of convulsion.

Thereafter, my in-laws wanted to take her to see another person but thank God my hubby stopped them, that there is need for it.

MiL came up with another story today that she met one woman, that the woman told if she experienced the convulsion during sleep and brought out saliva, then it is not ordinary. Planning to go and consult traditionalist.

I have read about it on Google, I was dumbfounded when she finished her story. She is a good mother to me but I don't know how tell her that all she was being aren't true. She won't even listen.

Please mothers that have one or two experience about convulsion, when, how and what did you do to it o?

For that don't have the experience, it won't happen to your children o.

May God deliver our children from all calamities of this world.

Sorry for any typos, I am crying typing this

sorry mama, take things easy. As other senior mamas have said relay your fears to the doctor, and notice what usually cause the convulsion, his body may have been giving you some symptoms before convulsing. Also I will advise you not to tell them when you are going to hospital because they may say there is no need for it. Am living with inlaws and I know how handful they might be a times.

Sabi mamas, please I read on the net that newborns from 3weeks is to be administered Vitamin D supplement if they're exclusively breastfed, reason being that breastmilk doesn't Contain vitamin D. But when I asked our PAED, she said there's no need since my LO is exclusively breastfed. Please I should forget about the vitamin D?

Thanks for the advice, none of them can stop me if I am taking my child to hospital o. I am just trying to patient to avoid issues but I won't take it anymore. Whatever they want to do, MiL can go ahead, so far she won't take my child along.

Let him start before you resume, to ease the separation anxiety, drop him off as if you're going to work, then go pick him early. He will take pap. Express for him as well. It's even noon sef not 6pm, both of you will be fine grin

Frozenelsa:
Good evening mamas. pls, mamas that take their LOs to creche, how do you do it? I have been having sleepless nights as resumption to work draws close. I can't bear to leave DS alone, how will I cope, how will he cope? He will be 5months plus when I resume and he takes just pap and breast milk only. What will he take when I am at work because I don't want to express since I close at noon....I am just confused, please help me chook mouth... help me ooooo

By a doctor? Mami he's 7 months, let them run a FBC to see if there's infection so a proper antibiotic can be prescribed. Otherwise, Vit C and steam inhalation will help. Use Olba's oil instead of silverbird and don't put it on your baby's skin
