Exercises for Pregnancy
Here are some exercises that will help you stay fit during your pregnancy. Before you start an exercise program, consult with your health care provider, who can provide exercise guidelines based on your medical history and level of risk.


Stretching Exercises for Pregnancy
Stretching exercise make the muscles limber and warm, which can be especially helpful when you're pregnant. Here are some simple stretches you can perform before or after exercise:

Neck rotation: Relax your neck and shoulders. Drop your head forward. Slowly rotate your head to your right shoulder, back to the middle, and over the left shoulder. Complete four, slow rotations in each direction.
Shoulder rotation: Bring your shoulders forward and then rotate them up toward your ears and then back down. Do four rotations in each direction.
Swim: Place your arms at your sides. Bring your right arm up and extend your body forward and twist to the side, as if swimming the crawl stroke. Follow with left arm. Do the sequence ten times.
Thigh shift: Stand with one foot about two feet in front of the other, toes pointed in the same direction. Lean forward, supporting your weight on the forward thigh. Change sides and repeat. Do four on each side.
Leg shake: Sit with your legs and feet extended. Move the legs up and down in a gentle shaking motion.
Ankle rotation: Sit with your legs extended and keep your toes relaxed. Rotate your feet, making large circles. Use your whole foot and ankle. Rotate four times on the right and four times on the left.

Kegel Exercises During Pregnancy
Kegel exercises help strengthen the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowels. By strengthening these muscles during your pregnancy, you can develop the ability to relax and control the muscles in preparation for labor and birth. Kegel exercises are also highly recommended during the postpartum period to promote the healing of perineal tissues, increase the strength of the pelvic floor muscles, help these muscles return to a healthy state, and increase urinary control.

To do Kegels, imagine you are trying to stop the flow of urine or trying not to pass gas. When you do this, you are contracting the muscles of the pelvic floor and are practicing Kegel exercises. While doing Kegel exercises, try not to move your leg, buttock, or abdominal muscles. In fact, no one should be able to tell that you are doing Kegel exercises. You can do them anywhere!

UmmuFarrah:
Mamas good evening.
Plz I hope its okay for a baby not to have any teeth in almost 8 months coz I am scared. She is not even showing sign of teething (if there is any). She is crawling and can stand up while holding something. Someone said by this time her baby already had like 8tooth. Op nothing is wrong. Plz answer me ASAP. I beg

My sister kids develop teeth from one year.
I was amazed, still check with your doctor.

Pearl05:
May God bless all mamas.
Our January mamas, grace for safe and swift delivery, Amen.

Other Senior sabi mamas, I pray for more grace to continue pushing the truck as our LO bake very well. Don't be tire please. Jehovah is your strength.

To my Junior mamas especially the August whom Ms is still doing strong thing, it will soon be over and you will start the honeymoon phase. It's so sweet that you just forget about all the Ms. All you will be doing is glowing , catwalking and tantalizing Dh all over the house especially the oza room.

To all our mamas that their journey were stopped abruptly and all mothers and fathers of Nations, Oh lord remember them early and restore unto them double for their trouble in this fresh and fertile year 2019 to your glory alone. We pray oh Lord. In Jesus wondrous name we pray. Amen.


To my sweetest May team, my able cappo sunbestie, Astilo and others I believe that we are doing marvelously great and actively exercising very well in the oza room giving Dh different styles cowgirl, doggy, one leg up and others as the spirit leads and your muscles can carry you (/pls nobody should ask for description as me too don't know them, but all I know is that missionary is not working for me now) .


Rant Time
Whenever I sit flat on the floor and raise my leg in such a way that the foot is placed flat on the ground and kneel pointing up, I feel so much pain in the abdomen. Please is it normal or I should be concerned about it? Being FTM I don't know which one is normal and when water is becoming excess to the garri.

And the way I feel pressed now is something else. I urinate like horse. The more I drink water, the more I feel urge to urinate more. Should I reduce the fluid I take so as to reduce the frequency? In a day, I change pants like 3 times. If I cough hard, or laugh too much, urine must escape my vijajanah.
Pleasey Phd holders in this ministry, health care givers in the ministry should answer your troubled baby sister.

Lastly my baby is too gentle and sleeps alot. All he does is just little stretching when he wakes and a gentle tapping here and there once in a while. Is there anything I can do to make him more active like playing football, basketball or even jumping upandan on the cushion.

May we all carry to term and behold our LO in our hands. Amen.

Kegel exercises will help.

gegyna:
Sabi mamas in the house pls help me look into these. Am 36 weeks pregnant. Went for weekly ante natal clinic yday and doc told me i was measuring small, i was measuring 30 weeks as against 36 weeks. Meanwhile i was at d hospital last week and everything was fine. Baby was measuring 35 weeks last week. I was told to go for a scan. Babys heartbeat is fine. Though i want to seek another opinion today before i go for the scan.
My question is how posible can my baby go from 35 weeks to 30 weeks just within a week. Who has experienced this before and what was the outcome. Pls help a worried ftm

It could be baby has dropped ,but do get a scan in a standard place to rule out issues.
Don't panic, not good for baby.

Giddyperson:
We should look into banning male genital mutilation .

Multilation kwa?
Kpele,mama, this phase will soon pass

Chanbaby:
oh my sweetheart take hugs this was Giddyperson and I 2weeks ago . Pls dont walk again if u haven't started having contractions cos u will putting urself under unnecessary pain thats what my consultant gyna said. Then remember not to focus too much on Edd but Gdd (God's delivery date). Pls open ur mind to induction and pray for God's help. i will try and drop my BS so u can understand. But I pray that God will help u manage all the issues and give u safe delivery.

Mama,how are you and LO? please,our BS, thanks in advance.

Giddyperson:
Glam ma, I've been looking for you everywhere so you can cook the ji mmiri oku.

How was the circumcision, hope no much problem?

obinnanelson4:
lol.. warming malt for u to drink? you really tried but its always advised that all your drinkables are warm. thank God you are fine and everything is ok now you can take whatever you deem fit. God bless your household too lovely mama.

If you warm the malt,wetin you gain inside.
Room temperature is ok.
If you can add echinacea tea,red raspberry tea,it helps.
No strong food,is good., sleep Wella so body can recover, avoid wetness,on the stitches.

SlimBrawnie:
Ex teamie, biko don't try that engine oil thing o. My son's ring fell off within 3 days of applying penicillin (4 times a day)... And I'm still applying the penicillin cos his circumcision was done over 2 weeks after his birth (we had to first treat the jaundice that appeared)

Meanwhile, mamas pls I need your say on this, my son becomes weak n tired after BF, is it normal? And we are 4weeks today, when can I start taking milk (I had my LO via ELCS)

You can take milk lightly like those small satchets,not like a tin of milk in a cup.
Some people are of different views,but I think milk is protein,which is highly needed for wound healing and milk production, just don't abuse it,like once daily.
If you are confused, you can still ask your doctor.

Lemonadewifey:
Mama thanks o. He didn't say anything o just that it's high finish.

Abeg, check another hospital,that you can ask questions and get answers.
Meanwhile,cut out ;
Salt
Bending
Thinking, anxiety (get a new hobby to help)
Eating out as some food vendors use white...
Pepper soup spices,
Eat more banana, cucumber, mangoes
Pamper yourself.

pateffy:
Good evening mothers my baby has been struggling with block nose since Saturday night have done steam inhalation with silver bird, given vit c, used mentholatum where necessary and he is still struggling with the block nose a little bit . is there any other thing I can. Thank you

Take him to hospital.

Messyodi:
My hospital only gives me folic acid and fesolate, they never give me calcium. But i will get it as u have adviced. Thank you

Some people react to calcium,so not included initially,but from late second trimester of pregnancy,it's added.
Do ask your doctor,if there's any reason you were not placed on it.

Lemonadewifey:
Na wa o, if someone doesn't have a friend here or quote someone, no one seems to care or want to answer. I am asking because it's my first time and they didn't even give me any drugs to take at the hospital. If I am disturbing too much, it's nice if someone let's me know. I came here coz I was told that I'd meet experienced mums that can help but alas, it hasn't been so apart from 2-3 mums who answered me the last time. Let me kuku continue using google as it seems like the only one to answer quickly and recommend help

Bp in pregnancy is a serious thing,if you were not placed on an drug, try to go to another hospital to get a second opinion from a consultant, preferably a government hospital.The doctor you saw at the hospital, what did he say?
People comment on what they know, Good luck.

rabluk:
Been on calcium since 2nd trimester started o. It always comes at nyt n mostly when I'm sleeping

Is the calcium upto 1000mg, check.

rabluk:
U pipo sha want somebori to lose home training.

This my correct junior pearl05 , praise the lord for a miracle has really happened in your life yesternyt. U be Don for this matter. U wee be olright.

Towerofgrace , be whining ur waist upandan o, sha dont coman complain 4us when oga hook u 4corner.

Messyodi , the commandant herself. u know u be my person. Teach me how you do this thing every other day with you being on top. Muscle pull on my calf won't let me shine. And oga dey fear my tummy like it's a balloon. We de sha find other styles sha.

Sunbestie , i dey see you o. Na una de hot pass

Add calcium for the pull

Giddyperson, congratulations dear!

Lemonadewifey:
Please I need help. I have been having serious reflux acid since I took in, low appetite and waist pain when I bend down. Please what drugs can I take because I haven't started ante natal yet. The discomfort is too much for me.

Please go to the hospital!

okeoghene4real:

Team Dec18 it was an honour to have served you, thank you all for the privilege.
This is adorablewifey signing out, see you all in 2020.

Over and out

Wow! thanks be to God for Dec.Mamas ,but plenty are owing us BS, please O!

Giddyperson:
You're still hustling for ori in the village when your mates have all gone back. Has holiday not finished in your eye? Is school not starting on Monday?

Welcome back! How is the Bobo?

Giddyperson, how far?

Akorkor:
Please mama, it’s okay. Let everyone speak their mind. This is a public forum and you can’t enforce your own opinion on others. If you are not okay with what other mama said just pass. On a public forum, you pick what it’s best for you and you don’t have to go with every suggestion dished out.

As for school, everything depend on the parent and their pocket. If you are stay home mom, I don’t see any reason why you should be spending so much money on school unless you are very busy. Even abroad, their pre-school start sometimes at 2 years above because of the money involved.

If you have excess money, do you but if you are not buoyant enough you and not busy mom too, nurture your child until you know h/she can learn something from school.

We all know about the social development and all but don’t be deceived some children develop on their own more.

Please let’s rest

Of course it's a public forum and anyone entitled to their opinion,but the question was not asked by the wife that spends time with the child,rather a working father.
He asked to form his decision,you and I are not privy to their way of life and can not answer for the woman,so putting it like it's waste of money and time,is wrong.
We do not know the woman's reasons for wanting to put the child in school.
It's not only about excess money or less busy, your definition of busy is different in alot of cases.

Ajakaiye83:
38 wks actually.

Ok,just feed baby and don't be pressurised by people, except your doctor is showing concerns.

phunmie306:
Poster will select advice that best suits him or her but if he decides to pick hers, do you know the poster will go tell his wife that it is not necessary and not see the importance which is what happened to me and i found it difficult doing other personal things for myself as a SAHM without help and nursing a child whereas the child can learn, I have my own time which will help me psychologically and mentally. That's why it is important to treat post, posted here with sensitivity.

That's it,he who wears the shoes know where it pinches.
In the name of advice, don't put someone's home on fire.
