olabrinks:
Please I’m wondering if it’s a crime to not want visitors coming to the hospital, until we get back home and we’re settled with the newborn. Please am I being unreasonable??

At all my sister, you are very reasonable. You need all the rest after childbirth.

Hello mama's in the house my wife observed that sperm release in her comes out after sex please what can we do to stop it...

Thank you má. I'm thinking of waiting til tomorrow. I pray God can still do wonders at this eleventh hour..

UnknownQueen:
Good evening beautiful mothers and mum to be, I'm sorry I have to bring this here, cos this is the best place I can bring this anyways, I'm a mum of two and my second child clocked 1 on 23rd of Dec.2019, My first menstruation after having this boy was on Nov. 13th 2019, by Dec this month, I had sex close to my ovulation and sensing that it could result into pregnancy, I took enough salt water that almost chocked me out (although it was the next day), unfortunately I missed my period, and testing I found out I'm positive. I don't want this baby because it's not planned for, please what's the best way to get rid of this.... I've discussed this with my husband and he is also inw full support... Please help

Does salt water truly help?? I always thought it was a joke. Anyway since your husband is on board, why not do it the right way, see a professional. Do you want to put your life in the hands of faceless people? If all goes wrong, who would you hold responsible?

I wish you the best.

Hello Beautiful Mothers of Children.

Lolr:
my baby is 6 weeks, my lochia stopped around when he was 3 weeks, noticed some slight bleeding again....has anybody experience such before?

To me, it is totally normal. Happened after I had my two kids.

Ogojagirl:
Hello mummies in d house I am new in d house
I have been learning since I came in but would be super grateful if I could get some opinions on this

October was the last time I had a normal period.
November , I was two days late (and I am never late) then I met with hubby and started bleeding on the third day thought it was my period but it didn't get heavy lasted 5 days but was so light I rarely even wore pad

Then started feeling nauseous heavy boobs, spitting,

December again was two days late according to d last time I bled met again with hubby and started bleeding. Never got heavy but was darker than d last time and also lasted 5 days

My doctor said its infection.
I was asked to come for treatment that its not pregnancy

Mama's pls what do I do

Sorry for d lengthy post

Are you newly wed? I ask cos immediately I got married, my period went haywire for some months.

Have you done a blood test to confirm you aren't pregnant? If possible, get a scan done as well. If then confirmed you aren't preggy, you can then test for sti alongside your hubby and get treated together.

If in doubt, seek a second opinion.

The way I read this ehn, I cant stop laughing

Lol, that's the first thing that popped into my head. I really wonder how some nurses got their certificate. My baby had jaundice and one told me not to wear white for her, I was like .

All these kabu kabu nurses. Tribotan is a steroid, just so you know. Awon mixers of ori and funbact-a, skineal and co. Do your due diligence before u go ahead.

giftfromGod:
Thanks ma. Now I understand better. was told 3 paint is 30k. Let me husstle more then.

lastly ma, we they allow my DH to the threater? Will just love someone to be beside me. I need all the courage .

It depends on the hospital, youwould need to confirm from yours.

HTH

Moaba:
Mothers, this is a long read but I need your advise. I need to make up my mind before Monday.

I swear if I were you, I would just do elective cs jeje. VBAC sounds great but remember it could still go either ways. If you choose to have VD, tears/episiotomy are fairly common and you will heal up nicely with sitz baths( I never did this for two of my kids). Personally sex became better after my first baby and I had a tear oh.

But for peace of mind, I would strongly advice you do cs. Book a date and have your baby. In all trust your body and pls make arrangements for a help or nanny cos this mum of 2 lifestyle is something else.

giftfromGod:
Funny you. This people here do not want to hear if you have more than enough. Although the PCV i did gave 37percent. Maybe that wqs why.

Pm right alway, thanks .

37% is very very ok. It is just standard procedure in some hospitals. Mine was a private hospital and it was 10k,although I ended up not buying.

Abeg e don do oh! Who are the trouble makers liking these posts?

naylor:
I use a Primary Health Centre here, I was arranging my baby's wardrobe when I looked at his card and noticed that the Rota part was blank.
7500 Chai,
Thanks so much for this information.

Some big pharmacies sell it for about 5-6k.

comtem2011:

Jeanos:

sorry for the long post.

There are specific bowls for sitz bath. I think mama zaynie sells, you can check it up online. You can add dettol and salt.

Jeanos:
Pls which baby food is best for newborn.Having challenge with lactation,not flowing well.Thanks.

Anyone formula you can afford is good. Your pocket will determine.

firstpregnancy:
Good Evening Mamas
Am I d only one who heats baby's navel . Hope it not wrong

Yes you are the only one. Kindly stop.

Chimzy09:
Dont take more than 3 times in a day though. I used to take a sachet maybe at night or in the morning. Some days, one sachet morning and another at night.

Oh this tea! One of my mum's fave, she is a tea lover. Thanks

Chimzy09:
I hear post partum belt helps, not waist trainer oh. What helped me however, was ginger tea. I was taking it religiously cos I noticed it was

Pls can you upload a picture of the ginger tea.

gratefulme40:
Thanks. I will try the feeding immediately after food.

This phase will pass. Since you are pushing for 3months, drink lots of water and take oats like twice daily. Hot steamed rice and yam works for me.

Welldone

Bluefin:
Help: Genuine love for children. Same religion as your self to avoid drama. Can speak basic English. I don’t know how it works in Nigeria but I’m sure there will be agencies that will have background check techniques.

Someone that’s a little older than you but not old that won’t listen to you. Important factor is to make sure you know where she lives and where her family is.

May God help me. Thank you

PraisesG:
The fear of the unknown kills,I haven't seen many people praise helps,there are alot of complaints.
Whoever, you get and your spirit thinks it's off , please let it go.However,if it's a necessity now,get someone, within your budget.
If you can budget and buy things weekly or twice in month,it reduces market runs stress.

Hmmm... thank you. School would soon vacate, i really doubt i can handle them both all day.

Asey:
Please, did your son cry a lot too. We had our procedure about 6 hours ago. He did not cry initially. He started crying (high pitched cry) about 2 hours ago and just slept off. Is this normal with the plastibell? Could it be that the ring is too tight?

I am typing in tears Ma. Please respond.

Other sabi Mamas should please chook mouth.

Totally normal. Circumcision is very painful but by tomorrow he would be better. No baths for today.

Liftedhands:
Mainly contagious and infectious diseases. Most hospitals have a package for domestic staff. Just tell them you want to run test for your maid they have a series of test they will conduct for 5k or more depends on the hospital.

Thank you.

Liftedhands:
Be sure to run a test especially if she will handle your food or baby.

Resumption and closing time depends if you are stay at home mom or a working mom.

Since you need one that comes and goes, i guess 7am till the job of the day is done will be ideal.

Thank you.

Abeg what kind of test?

Bluefin:
If you can afford help please don’t even think about it twice. Until you have help you won’t understand the burden you are carrying.

Kudos to mums with babies and toddlers. Kudos to pregnant mums with toddlers. God will reward us all. I have a 29 month old and I’m pregnant. I have a nanny who works 6 days a week and is off on one day.

The one day she is off, I’m almost losing my mind and I cannot just understand how anyone is able to manage this with no help. My hubby tries also but my daughter just wants all of us to play together all the time.

I really don’t want to have do this whole pregnancy thing again. I really think that first pregnancy is the easiest because it’s just you and no one else depending on you for care.

God bless us all.

Amen. Please what do i look out for in a help? I am just certain i do not want a live-in help. I majorly need help with house chores and market runs. What time is ideal for resumption and close of work?

Tbh, i am just scared of getting a wrong person.

PraisesG:
It depends on their ages, temperaments,plan ahead.
Have a happy mindset,no matter what happens.
There's is another thread in family section,you can pick up tips from there, can't remember the link.
My 2yr old becomes cranky from 7pm,so I plan dinner,bath,play time around then and giving time to focus on others.

I have a very active 18month old a 1month old. Do you have a help? I am considering getting one that comes everyday or a few times during the week to do clean up and maybe market runs.

I'm scared of getting a live-in help or nanny. I don't work for now too.
