Trippleblessing:


The cleaning is to clear your milk duct of any dirt or obstacle that may delay the flow of breast milk once you give birth.

It is advisable to start cleaning from 37th week as the cleaning of the nipples might trigger contraction.

How to clean is very simple.

If you have inverted nipple or flat nipple that's when it is advisable to use soapy hands to pull out your nipples while bathing, and wash off all soap thoroughly so the skin around the nipple won't dry off.

If you nipple is pointed, get cotton wool, olive or groundnut oil, first apply some oil directly on the nipple and the black areas surrounding it, let it sit for some minutes, then apply some oil onto the cotton wool and use it to wipe the nipple, continue cleaning, you would see black particles falling off and the cotton wool getting black as well, those are the particles that sits on the milk duct and when not cleaned might reduce the rate at which the baby gets breast milk.

For some people, the breast starts bringing out milk during the cleaning, while for some it is until the baby is born.

wow this is a the perfect response I needed. Thanks a lot mama. I'm just 37weeks+. That's means it's not too late for me to start contrary to what I was told. Thanks a lot ma. This was really helpful.

Good evening fruitful mamas. Please what's your take and view on this nipple cleaning. Haven't started, but thinking of starting now. Hope it's not too late. What and what is needed, how often? and what's the advantage of it sef. MIL said I should use soap sponge on the nipple. I don't know why I'm finding it difficult to accept that advice. Please any advice will help.

Sassy256:

Me and you together on the bolded. Even remote by my feet sef, I have to call my son to pick it up.
Sitting down has become a task for me now, to feel comfortable it's either i lie down or I walk. Haven't noticed nipple sensitivity o, but I heard towards the end some first trimester symptoms might begin to show up again for me bitter mouth has returned and that was my worst symptom in first trimester.
At this point eh, I just dey peep August dey smile
How r u preparing for the journey? Travelling alone or is hubby coming?

My dear o make August waka fast fast abeg.
As for my travel, I'm planning to take off this weekend. Of course hubby is coming to carry me. Can't risk travelling alone at 37 weeks. My office people are saying my maternity leave will start after delivery can you imagine that? Me I'm taking off abeg, I'll just travel and send them a mail that I had an emergency and was asked to observe bed rest till delivery hahaha They cannor come and stress me and my baby.
Thank you mama for asking. I'm sure by this time next month 90% of August teamies must have joined the vigilantee group as per 4th trimester. God will make it easy for all of us.

Good evening my fellow waddling mamas. How's the pushing ministry. Omo at this stage of my life eh whatever falls from my hand remains down o. Me I cannot come and stress myself to bend down abeg. The heaviness is real. I can't believe August is just next week I can smell it already... Can't wait o.
I don't understand why my nipples are beginning to pain me, what's dah wan called who else is experiencing it or na only me waka come. It's well. I say make I greet una.

Some people are still owing us BS o.

Abu23Rahman:
Our new born baby is 9 days today, but he hardly open his eyes.. his eyes is closed, he only open for few seconds once a day and he sleeps all through..

Pls help me , the mother is trying to put breast milk in his eyes..

Pls kindly advise or help me concerning this

I don't think any advice here will be enough to help in this kind of situation as we may not understand exactly the nature of the problem. My sincere advice is please take this baby to a qualified pediatrician, let him be properly examined so as to ascertain the best solution to the matter. Please avoid self medication. Please do this I'm sure your baby will really appreciate it.

ladyrachy:

Congrats once again mama and a big welcome to our Princess. I wish I'm the baby already . Having 3 big brothers. No one dare touches her. Lol

Bloomingbud:


This your description fits me exactly, I wonder why me I cant be like those that dont even know they are pregnant until it starts showing

hahaha people like me abi if not for the bump I would have doubted that baby is still there. No spitting, no vomiting no sickness but excessive hunger ooo. That one showed me pepper from first month till now that I've entered the 9th month. Pregnancies and their peculiarities sha

dacblogger:

36 weeks is 9months. You can start then.
Something as little as doing house chores can really help alot.
Trekking counts too. Just make sure you're on your feet almost all the time.
It makes labor easier and also prepares your body for the pain, you might end up not feeling any pain at all during labor.

36 weeks is 9 months? I thought it's from 37 weeks. Oboii I never dey ready oo. Well from the things you listed above, I could say I've been active. Maybe I should reduce my activeness a little lol. To avoid emergency mbok.

ifyonline:

Its a scan...

To check distance in your pelvic, and co in my last scan dey also did my pelvic examination.

Wow I didn't know. Will be doing that tomorrow. Thanks for the info ma.

My August people how una dey oooo. Mama Sassy256 my able cappo how are you doing na. I've really been excited since I realized today is 21st July. You know why? Because my EDD is 21st August hahaha and i'm almost sure that baby will come before that day sef. Will commence my leave from 1st Week of August (after next week) to enable me travel and do some last minute preparations before the arrival of my prince . I'm just excited as if na tomorrow be the day sef. Lol.
July come and be going ooo. Our July mamas no wan sama us BS. Diaris God o.

Ehee for those who have crossed 35weeks, abeg eh, no vex, how una dey take turn for bed? Infact how una take dey manage to sleep abeg? For me it is the most challenging thing at this stage of my preggy journey o. Abeg if you get better method of sleeping, turning and getting up from the bed please share with me mbok. The heaviness is real.
Lemme come and be going...

dacblogger:

Thanks Ma.
About the short labor, I was active throughout the pregnancy. Infact,I just finished doing laundry before I headed to the hospital.
Just try to be active as much as you can and God will definitely see you through.

Abeg when should I increase my activeness? I'm almost 36weeks. Although the nature of my work doesn't keep me seated for a long time. And I've been unintentionally doing plenty trekking these days. Hope it's part of the activeness. My fear is make labour no start when I haven't travelled yet. Planning to travel ending of next week sha.

Good evening Mamas. Please what's your review on giving coconut water to a new born as first liquid to prevent colic? I'll really appreciate your kind responses.

Pweetiebabe:
Mama please don't dodge it o, I think it's just a scan to check how wide ur pelvic is

Ah ah just a scan? I didn't know o. Thought it's that one they used to insert their hand . Thanks for telling me ma

Sassy256:

@ dodging it.
Don't be scared, at this point nothing can be more painful than the birth itself and I doubt it'll even be painful cos they wouldn't tamper with your cervix. I've never had one done anyway and I believe at this point usually a scan should tell them what they need to know, but if your doctor says so, then go for it..
We all on low-key mode o, it's well. Keep us informed when u do go for it.❤️

lol ok mama. I'll think about it . Hope it's not what will cause my footsteps to change afterwards. Lol. God abeg o

Sassy256:

I say make I hail my people small o.
How you guys doing? E don dey show for body
Mama waistbead no foodupdate from you
Starryv how far? Are u set to travel?
novia22, u don dey quiet small
AbleGodDidIt my Edd mate, hows pushing biz?
Fisayomi1, Ur edd is a bit early but Ur not allowed to port ooo so stick with us
My other sweet and quiet teamies, I love u❤️
God is seeing us all through this phase with testimonies in Jesus name, Amen

Mama I'm here o. Seriously on low key mode. I'm yet to travel because of this my new position at work. Hopefully I'll travel at the end of this month.
Went for my antenatal visit today and was asked to come next week for pelvic examination. Whatever that means, it sounds scary sha and I'm thinking of dodging it abeg what's that and how is it done?

ladyrachy:

na so is possible ur baby has placed head down, me I knew the head was down even before scan confirmed it oo.the feeling NP be here u gat pause and wait for it,so tey I dey check my pussy maybe head dey inside dre

hahahaha this mama is something else I swear you gat me laughing out loud here.

Layormiii:
chaiii.. serious dilemma.
Congratulations on the promotion mama.

Before arriving at a conclusion think of these points:
Have you saved enough money for yourself? Like personally do you have any money to fall back on ? Atleast if e bad too much u can start a small biz with it.

Is hubby staying in a place where getting work is easy? I mean the town he is living. Eg if you're moving from lag to lokoja, u know getting job there go hard small.

Is it possible to accept the offer and then go for your 3months leave at the end of July, so u use that opportunity to think we'll and weigh your options? If it's possible then I think to should try it

I never save plenty money o infact I've used the one I gathered to do my baby shopping. As for business, hahaha that one na 1 missed call o. I no sabi business at all. I've been an office person/Civil Servant all my life. God go help me o. Maybe I fit learn sha.

kokaiye:
i wont leave my job if i were u bcs its Nigeria we r talking about dt job no dey... Shebi dey wil give u maternity leave... Use dt plan ursef wella... Let ur mom or mom inlaw come help u wen u go bk to work or ur sister... I wont advice u gt a maid... I can nva trust those pipu but trust ur family, dey can nva harm ur baby.

Mama you've made good point o and I've seriously considered all that. Good jobs are scarce in this our country. And looks like it's even easier to get job as a single lady than when you are a nursing mother. Lemme sha work for one month and see how it goes. Thanks mama.

Sassy256:

Wow congratulations dearie, this is great news .
Please really consider if you still want to resign. You and hubby consider the financial implications very well.
If you weigh the options and Oga can carry the family for an extended period of time for you to get stronger after the birth of baby and get another job, then after your maternity leave you can resign, I'm sure you will have enough time to think about this and properly weigh it during that time.
So if I were you I will accept it now while the offer is open.
God's wisdom in your decision dear❤️

Amen o. Thanks mama. Lemme sha accept and do the work for at least one month to see how challenging or easy it will be for me. Thereafter I can make a final decision.

Omakraid:

Congratulations mama, may you continue to go higher in all your endeavours...
I don't know what to advise on your job cos I'm typing from "my husband's house" but I believe you and hubby will make the best decision cos family is everything

yes o. Family is everything. Thanks mama and Amen to your prayers.

novia22:


Them say wahala be like wetin again?
You can't be confused ooo....accept the promotion, don't resign yet...you can buy time using maternity leave....then you and hubby can come to a decision if you can resign or not and if he can carry the whole family bills by himself pending when you get another job.
Babies come with extra bills I must say...and there is no harm in making extra money but las las the final decision depends on you, hubby and you guys financial standing.

Congratulations dearie..Baby never even show, blessings are already pouring in...Oshe!!!

Thanks for your advice mama. After much considerations and deliberations, I've decided to accept the offer. I'm already on my way to the Headquarters to do necessary documentation. @the bolded as in eh, this baby has really attracted blessings for us o. Infact hubby also got a new job offer with a better pay and he's resuming today. This July sha looks promising

Meanwhile I was planning to resign from my work place by the end of July when I'll commence my maternity leave following the advice of some mamas here to take off from 36weeks. Now the funny thing that happened yesterday 29/6/2022 was that I received a promotion letter o with almost double of my current salary with effect from this July that's starting tomorrow. (Promotion I've been expecting since 2019 before I got married sef and it refused to come).
Right now, ayam confused o. Don't know if to accept the new position and enjoy increased pay or to re-unite with my husband from the maternity leave and enjoy my young family. The matter tire me. I have till 1st July to accept or decline the new position.

Today is the last day of June .
Shebi it's after June we'll see August abi? I talk am

June mamas no do us well with BS o. We're hungry for BS. June Cappo you've gat to query ya teamies o.

Happy Sunday dearly beloved waddling colleagues. Please who knows this flying termites? (pix attached) known as 'Aku mkpu' in Igbo and 'Esunsun' in Yoruba.
Abeg eh, how safe is it to be consumed in pregnancy. I've tried googling it but I don't seem to get any suitable response from Google this time. Please I need response as I'm really finding it difficult to resist the urge for taking it since last week that I started seeing it in my area. Infact I've chopped a plateful of it . Should I discontinue?

Sassy256:
It's my birthday today!
I'm grateful to God for this child I prayed and waited for.
Please put me in your prayers for a safe delivery my beloved moms and moms-to-be❤️
Thanks. Love you all.
#bumpybirthday

Happy Birthday dear Cappo. You look amazingly gorgeous. May your New age usher you into the best phase of your life. Amen. Omoo your bump is cute and big o. Mine never gree reach like this @32+

Anoda 1

ladyrachy:
Hmm mamas did my clinical pelvimetry today,doc have shook hand inside hubby palace ooo. Am having slight stomach tightening don't know if it's contractions ,doc is expecting baby latest first week of July ooo. Was given castor oil to drink at moderation and keep him updated.

Mama please have a rethink in the castor oil intake o. Better safe than sorry.

ladyrachy:

I will suggest u go by 36 weeks cos even small distance journey puts pressure on my pelvic I can't even sit on bike for long. And am close to 37 wks,imagine at 38wks and u will be travelling very far. U either request for the hospital bags like voucher said or u travel earlier than 38weeks. Its safer and less risky.

Thanks mama for your kind advice. I've screenshoted all these responses and sent to DH. Fear don dey catch am small small .
Maybe I'll just find a two week doctor's report/medical excuse letter and submit to my work place to enable me travel by 36 weeks. So that they won't start counting my leave from when I travel. I want my leave to start counting after delivery abeg.

voucher:


You should take the leave at 36 weeks as mama Sassy said, some babies come at 37 weeks..The bags are supposed to be here with you incase you go into labor, not everyone gets to their EDD..
Won’t it be stressful traveling at 38 weeks?
Just tell DH to send you the bags, you can travel back with it if you don’t birth before then.. All the best to you

The bags suppose dey with me o mama. But DH no wan use ear hear say i wan carry bag. He said instead I'll deliver here, that I should resign and move over permanently. That was why I couldn't carry the bag again. All I did was just to pack it and keep them with him. From what I'm seeing sef he won't let me return to my work after delivery.

Sassy256:

I was about to ask yesterday if you've finally moved to Uyo.
Please If I were you, I will plan for like 36weeks. Yes first time mum's most at times get to labour later than even EDD and if you go by 36 weeks it might seem like you're wasting your maternity leave but dear, I can't really say.
This one needs prayerful consideration. Besides that 38 week journey stress is enough to push someone to labour.
Will your husband come to take you? As in will he come and meet you where you are now to do the journey together?
Abeg other experienced mama's, ladyrachy, voucher novia22 pls come and chuk mouth

I'm yet to travel mama. Planned traveling by 1st week of August before I realized it would almost be my 38weeks. So I'm having a rethink. Just pray it doesn't affect my work in any way.
