Your explanation really came at the right time.

By baby of 3 weeks is yet to suck due to this inverted/flat nipple issue.

I use breast pump at least thrice daily to extract breast milk for him and when I try to give him breast to suck the nipple disappears even immediately after stimulating using the breast pump.

Please do you know where one can get the breast shell or nipple enhancer?

Though my baby is currently on formula at the moment, it is not satisfying for me plus this is my first baby.

Please help a depressed sister.

Onezzly, I've left it to God, as the tiredness no be small. But I really wish this baby will share same month (and day ) with her elder brother. He's October 7th.

After my pregnancy and delivery journey of my first baby, I became so scared of having another one
I had nightmares, always afraid of the unknown incase I get pregnant again,but as God will have it when no one expected it I conceived my SON.

Pregnancy was not smooth,all the classes of MS were following me up and down,then the nightmares intensified I dreamt of dieing,always dreamt of burials and coffins and I prayed prayed, cried and cried,the thought of leaving my DD and DH killed me more.
You mama's on this thread gave me hope,all your prayers kept me going,my DD smiles kept me alive and I promised I won't leave her.

fastword to 30weeks I saw signs of my greatest fear(Repeat of Eclampsia),I told DH and he did not believe me but my instincts were 98% correct most of the time
BP,Protein in urine was normal so everything seemed perfect,I went to hospital and Gyn said am doing well

I still was not calm,My legs were swollen(not noticeable but I knew)
i gained 5kg in 3days(when I was not eating well)
All the other symptoms I saw during the first time started reoccurring,DH said it was my mind but I knew what I was talking about.
My BP read 120-125/75 as i checked daily at home ,its a normal BP but It was abnormal for me because at the start of pregnancy it ranged 107-110/68-70,so something was up.

At 34weeks due to lockdown I went to a hospital close to me for checkup and told the Gyn my pregnancy history,I did scan and some tests and behold protein was in my urine,one of the tests showed baby was going to having jaundice,Amniotic fluid was reducing(I was not leaking any fluid)
The Gyn said I should go back to where I registered and see the Gyn meanwhile he gave me BP drugs.

I tried and went to my hospital at 35weeks,the situation was worsening,Drugs and dosage for BP was increased,Amniotic fliud was fast reducing,
baby movements were reduced but the heart rate according to scan was fine,protein was 2++,I was admitted and monitored for 2days to see if things will change.
A CS was scheduled at 36weeks.
HMO changed their mind on covering cost in my hospital and asked us to go to another one but God being so good,the Gyn in the new hospital consults in my former hospital also,how happy I was seeing him though he has not attended to me during this pregnancy but I knew I was in safe hands.

Day of CS came,I went to the hospital but the Gyn asked me to continue my BP drugs and wait for 1 more week.
Again my instincts said No,I told the him I can't wait because I could no longer feel baby movements like before(less than 10kicks a day)
He listened, and I did a scan immediately which showed Amniotic fluid has almost dried up
BP was 180/115,protein was 3+
It became an emergency CS
Baby was brought out, he cried so well,cleaned up and was showed to me.
the nurse that cleaned him up noticed something was wrong, he was looking BLUE.
The doctors in the theater said nothing was wrong since he cried well,but the nurse insisted something was not ok and checked his oxygen level,my son's SPO2 was 35.
Immediately Oxygen was fixed and he was put in the incubator, stitching me was war as needles kept breaking inside me and my BP was shooting up,After all trials I was finally stitched up and I started convulsing,the devil tried but he lost.

The struggle began to save my baby,after using up 3 big oxygen cylinders,the hospital got tired and told me to prepare for the worst as he was still breathing badly.
I prayed,begged God to save my SON.
That nurse(May God bless her always) assured me nothing will happen,she prayed and cried with me,
seeing my son in that state is the worst torture ever.

Day 4 came and my son was still on oxygen,breathing was still terrible, he was on the 4th big oxygen cylinder already, the pediatrician asked he be referred to general hospital as he can't handle the case anymore.

A doctor who resumed duty that morning asked for the oxygen to be removed, my baby given to me and I should breastfeed him,How do I breastfeed a baby not breathing well?
In faith, for the first time I held my baby,prayed for him and put him to breast.
my fellow mama's, breastfeeding my child was the miracle we were praying for,I don't know how but my son did not use half of the 4th cylinder and he was taken out of the incubator and out of oxygen.

Day 5, chest xrays where done which came out clean
SPO2 was 98 and were we certified OK.
Everyone was amazed at the miracle(Including those wicked nurses who indirectly told something bad will happen)
we sang praises to GOD( only him can do what no MAN can do)

When all hope was lost,when I thought it was the end
God intervened, he heard my cry and saw my pain.

Day6 I asked for jaundice test to be done and it came out high,he was put under phototherapy for two days and we were discharged.

As for my stitches there is still an opening bringing out fluid with a foul odour, I have taken antibiotics and still watching it.

To all pregnant mama's yet to deliver,always PRAY!
Pray for the doctors,nurses,cleaners,gatemen infact everyone that will be on duty that week,May they be angels in disguise
pray for all utensils that will be used on you
pray for the hospital, may everything you need be there at the right time.
Follow your Instinct and keep an open mind.
Safe delivery to you all,You will carry your babies and smile back home.
Quick and safe delivery is yours IJN.

My GTC mama's your testimony is at hand,you will carry your bundles of Joy Soon.

Congrats to all mama's that have birthed their LO,they will bring blessings to you and live a long healthy life

Jumia has a nipple xtender....but let me tag mama Zaynie if she has them or can help you get one.

I thought about you and this post in the bathroom this morning and made a mental note to try and answer some questions.

Sometimes it feels like your questions are being ignored... especially in the beginning. It's not intentional. You can start with tagging one or two people with your questions (like your team cappo or experienced Mamas)

On the waist pain, unfortunately it's part of the package if your 30weeks tummy is already making people ask if you haven't delivered then maybe your bump is measuring more than your baby's gestation. If you live abroad and can find pregnancy support girdle, it'll help relieve the stress on your waist. Else you can find extra strength Tylenol (acetaminophen is safe in pregnancy) and take as needed.

On the plenty questions: if I were in your shoes I'd tell them my stomach is just bigger than usual and give them a delivery month after your due date. So if I were due in August, I'd tell them baby is expected in September so they stop pestering me on why the baby hasn't come.

Flat nipples: yes some people have flat or even inverted nipples...it's nothing to worry about. They're various techniques how to breastfeed with flat/inverted nips including wearing breast shells, using breast pump or nipple enhancer to pull it out.
For the scally stuff, I think you can get nipple cream and apply as needed.

How far are you gone? It’s part of the package for some people and will disappear after delivery. Though my sis said she noticed folic acid makes hers worse so she stopped taking it at some point

Duduke:
Thanks sis! I’ve had to figure most things out on my own! Well the latest is I went for a scan today, from my calculation I should be 31 weeks but report says 28..he also says baby is head down(cepahlic presentation) i didn’t know the turning can happen so early..any relatable experience? Besides I feel pain arnd my VJ, walking hurts as I feel pain on my right waist to my butt! I just pray I don’t exceed July..that August the Man wrote in the report is a No No..I can’t wait to be free��

You should let your doctor see your scan result or try and do another scan somewhere else, maybe in 2 weeks time. Most people either read their week or a week or 2 ahead at this stage due to the size of baby so I think read 3 weeks behind may need to be investigated.

About cephalic presentation, baby still have time and space to turn or flip at this stage so this might not be the final positioning but the good thing is they will mostly go back to cephalic when it time to be born.

The pain is probably as a result of baby head and the pressure been exacted on the VJ

Hope this helps

@the bolded..... Hmmmmm...... Should i tell you the truth about freedom after delivery?

Take it easy on yourself sister.
There are many ways to feed your baby, embrace what you can do for him now while calmly seeking solution to the issue.
Don't let depression deprive you from enjoying these early moments. You won't be able to get them back.

I have taken one pack (the 4 abi nah 5 in one pack) of peppermint and yet nothing yet oo or do I need to buy more? I took liptom tea and pap yesterday but I'm told not to eat solid food like rice much, if at all I want to eat it the problem is that I am not comfortable cause my tummy is bloated and when I touch it, I feel pain . So I need the gas to find their way out of my body so that I can be free.
