Good morning

Cleaning of the nipples during pregnancy.

During pregnancy, the nipples may become dry and pigmented and develop cracks, therefore , it is important to retain moisture around the nipple area. The areola, which is that circular and dark patches that surround the nipples undergoes a lot of skin changes as a result of hormonal operations in the body during pregnancy, making the areola change in colour, usually growing darker than usual

How to clean the nipples during pregnancy

Cleaning of the nipples should start from 36weeks up and should be done once a week to avoid falling into labor since the nipple is a very sensitive part of the body and twingling it can lead to contraction.

Materials needed
* Cotton wool
* Methylated spirit (optional)
* olive oil/coconut oil

How to clean the nipples

* Dip cotton wool inside a methylated spirit/olive oil/coconut oil, use it to clean around the aerola
* Finally use a cotton wool dipped with olive oil to clean it off so as to avoid dry and flaky around the aerola if methylated spirit was used.
* Clean nipple using a warm hand towel when bathing.
* After cleaning, gently pull out your nipples for like five minutes. Repeat this process as many times as possible during the day. The effect of this is that the nipples are being trained and exercised to stand out well enough for the baby to easily suck, after delivery.


Remember every woman, every baby, every pregnancy is different. Don’t listen to anyone, just enjoy the ride! Take everyone’s advice but only use what feels right for you.

No one to help me out with my question

I don't know what will work for you, in my first pregnancy I always put bitter Kola in my mouth, not chewing it, then in this very journey I used ginger though I didn't have nausea much like my first, some people chew gum but gum pains my mouth so I don't subscribe to that, or you drink cold water and chew ice just try and discover the method that you can adapt.

I was in this situation a few weeks back. I complained to my friend who forced me to call my nurse. She asked me to do a widal test. Lo and behold, I had typhoid. Moral of my story, please go to your hospital and complain
For the placenta, it is okay. There's nothing you can do about that. Just relax.

Sorry dear, some people have it as part of their package but it will soon leave you as you enter into your honeymoon phase. Try the following and see which works for you because what works for one might not work for another.

* Add lemon to your drinking water.

* you can snack on crackers biscuits.

* Put bitter kola in your mouth and suck on it.

* Try drinking cold water.

* You can chew the fresh bitter leaf especially the stick
on the center of the leaf.

* Take your routine drug close to bedtime.

* Discover the food that your body tolerates and eat them for now. Then I enjoyed fried yam that is very dry, boiled yam with red oil, pepper and salt. White rice with pepper stew. Any food that the smell upsets your system is likely to make you vomit or comfortable.

* Rest well and accept help from people around you dont go and be doing super woman.

* Eat fruits. And be observant for anyone your body doesn't tolerate you stop it for now. ( some people had bad experiences with mangoes, pineapple as our bodies differs)

Good morning mama, sometimes headache in pregnancy is part of the package, since your bp is normal. I used to have it in pregnancy in first and early second trimester, what worked for me was having enough rest and stop worrying about anything and eating in small portions. Make sure you eat something no matter how little. Also tell your doctor about it in your next appointment if it persists.
As per placenta, there is nothing you can do about the position, it may actually change on it's own as the uterus expands.
Hoping you'd find relief from the headache, Pele, it will soon be over.

That was my situation last week heavy headache. Checked bp normal. I remembered that during the last visit to hospital, doctor told me that farsidar is now given monthly during pregnancy. And it was more than a month already so I took the anti malaria and the headache started reducing from the next morning. Now am fine and don't take paracetamol again.

Good evening senior mums.. kindly answer:

1.Am FTM at 17weeks, I took my first TT injection yesterday and have been feeling very weak like first trimester.. Just want to Know if it normal to feel weak after TT cos my second trimester have been wonderful..

2...Is malt safe during pregnancy cos am craving for it

Thanks for always there
Good morning mama,

1.You may feel pain on the hand for a day or two but I don't think you should feel general weakness on your body.

2. Malt is safe in pregnancy but don't overdo it.

Stay safe, enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

If you are in your first trimester, you can take just folic acid tab 1 daily. It's the most essential for you now and it's very tolerate in the system unlike desolate and B.co
