[quote author=ambient post=55243357]Mama in the house help Ooo
Ever since I gave birth I have been having red itchy rashes on my hands I always try hard not to scratch it.I have use a lot of anti bacteria cream but nothing,it have even change the color of my hands.some women say its caused by baby hair that if I stop breast feeding it will go,how true is that cause am always itchy. Help

I dont think its something to be worried about. My ds is 5 months plus and the same thing has been happening and nothing i applied had really worked but it leaves on its own sometimes and still returns after some while. I was also told they are OMUGWO rashes and will still stop in future so am hopeful

Nimi22:
Pls mamas I've been having headache for some days now though it's not that terrible but it's still there coupled with extreme thirst. Should i be worried? Can i take pcm?

I dont think there's anything wrong with taking paracetamol. About the thirst, it was like that for me when i was preggy that i normally take close to 1 bag of pure water everyday. If am thirsty and i dont take water immediately, i will be feeling fainty so take water as much as u want joor. water is good

[quote author=beyedew post=55260561]So happy for u ma. God is never late and the devil has been shamed forever

Giddyperson:
Yepee, today was the EDD on my most recent scan but I've managed to go through the day without borning . Atleast I made delivery hair but hospital bag is still not packed, I'd do that one tomorrow. Had some kick arise contractions today and the baby is just moving like crazy. My new hair is so painful, baby's movement is so uncomfortable. This night sucks.

Kpele ma. U will feel better by tomorrow

[quote author=faithisallihave post=55075710]Am I overreacting?
Am I being petty?
Am I just a bad wife?

Take it easy ma. You are not overreacting, you are not petty, you are not a bad wife and you are not a fool. I also contribute to almost everything to be done in the house and understands how u feel when u are being taken for granted. I guess u should try as much as possible to keep your monies in the bank and just hold some change for tp and little things. Its well dear

[quote author=Chrisdada16 post=55059285]Please I want to rant I beg you.

Mama, i was once in your shoes. I gave birth with a C section as well and had to go and stay in my in laws family house because my mother is late. I also got frustrated with some of their decisions and told my hubby that i must leave. What i did was that i connived with my friends who i secretly flashed wen i was in the midst of my in laws and they called me. As a result of our plan, they told me they are planning to come to our house to see baby and i told them we are coming next weekend so my in laws overheard that which was part of the plan and asked me. I then used that opportunity to tell them that my family and friends have been calling to visit and i told them we will be coming that weekend. That was how i left when my baby was 3 weeks and told them we will still visit again which i said just as an excuse. So, u can adopt this trick and u can start doing small small chores as soon as u feel better and ur hubby can help u out as well. YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK

Benignasweety:
Thank u ma, Oga adiri gi na mma o... Plz my 30weeks scan today said baby is breech, should I be worried? Plz sabi mommies come and reply me o.

Amen nwannem. Am not too experienced oh but I believe the baby still has some time to turn to cephalic so don't bug yourself too much. Secondly, i heard laying on your left might help him to move. What matters at the end is baby, mother and father alive with plenty money

Cute mama with portable bump. I love reading your diary. kudos

Goldenheart002:
Hello mamas in d house, hope u are all good?



I've been having tummy ache since I took in and on Friday, it got too much that I can't bear it. I had to call my hubby from work and he insisted that I most go to d hospital but I heard tummy pain is normal during first trimester pregnancy so I ignored him. But on Friday night it got so bad that I could neither sit nor sleep and I was bleeding, he quickly took me to d hospital and d doctor said there's a miscarriage. I was counting 4weeks but doc said its 6weeks. I was admitted that same night and given some treatment. I was discharged yesterday after evacuation.


But my hubby seems to be more dejected,though he's trying his best to calm me.....pls mamas, I need ur help and advice. Also how soon can another pregnancy set in?

So sorry mama. May God give u the fortitude to bear the loss and may He give u double for your trouble

[quote author=spiceeamiee post=54546145]Good afternoon mamas. So I kinda want to know how those of you that have given birth before went about naming your children because the way wey me and DH dey go,

My dear, i don't think you should stress yourself so much about that. Since he has agreed to the English name at all, just be calling your child the name and people will most likely call him by that same name cos you are his mother and always stays with me. As for me, i was only given 2 Igbo names without an English name but i never answered one of the Igbo names at all and gave myself an English name when i was in sec school. Secondly, men has a lot of ego so because of that, i try as much as possible not to argue too much with dh on issues like this. I rather do my mind when the time comes cos wen i argue too much on a particular issue, he will believe am daring him and will then ensure mine doesn't get implemented so i think u should just let the matter cool off and call lo by the name u choose when the time comes without bothering yourself if the name is in his birth certificate or not

[quote author=Benignasweety post=54457595]Congrats to new mothers, say me hi to them los and to d waddlers and MSers, the lord is our strength.
Plz I need urgent advise on this situation,

My dear, i think u and dh should both talk and explain things to her at the same time. Dh should start the explanation while u finalise it with apologies and make her understand u didnt want her to feel bad which is why u guys delayed in telling her

Benignasweety:
It is a hidden number ma. Am thinking of running away from school and am even writing exams now.
is there any means I can unlock the hidden number?

No dear. i don't think there's a way to unlock it since its hidden. Just be cautious and prayerful. No evil will befall u or your household

Benignasweety:
Please mas, am scared. Someone called my husband with an unknown number threatening our lives and that of my unborn son.
He said he will strangle me. Plz what steps should we take?

This is terrible. if its an mtn line, email me the persons number so that i can try and get u the name,address and the picture that was used in registering the number.

[quote author=Chanbaby post=53432837]My people most of our active mamas have ported to newborn thread making this thread abit boring and

We are still here sis. I believe its your child with ur dh and its the right of the both of you to name him/her. She can decide to be calling her any name she wants but she shouldn't impose it on you guys. U should also respectfully explain to her that your child should be dedicated in your church and not in hers. Its now her business if she gets angry at your refusal cos i can't imagine why some parents will like imposing their decisions on their grown up and married children

nwarosa:
oooooh toothache. can't chew. can't swallow. so hungry and frustrated

Sorry ma. It might be pregnancy induced cos it also happened to me during the last weeks of being preggy. It will disappear as soon as u give birth

Sis, at the end of the day, the decision still remains yours but if i were in your shoes, i will leave that marriage with everything i have read here. The most annoying part is when he tells people that try to settle the differences that he will call you back whenever he's ready as if you don't count. Biko, if a man batters and cheats on you especially with no sign of remorse, please do yourself good and move on

[quote author=AbbynHummy post=53061304]Goodday mothers. Still took my DD to the hospital. Ran a full blood count, she had malaria 2+. Was so shocked, cos she always sleeps inside her net.

Its well with u ma. I just wish i could help but just know that God got you and this situation will come to pass

AbbynHummy:
My DH also slept like that in the first two weeks, she slept a lot during the day and was alwys awake during the night sucking breast all through. She's three weeks nw and she's alwys awake during the day, wakes up like 3 or 4 times at night. She is just 3wks old and she likes been carried, when she is alone she'll start crying unless you carry her b4 she stops crying. I don't wnt her to get used to pple carrying her cos I'm starting work nxt month o.

Someone told me when I was complaining that I don't want my ds to get used to being carried. I quote " Don't deny your child the bond he or she seeks because of people saying that you are the one that made him to get used to the hand. Every child loves being carried so don't deny them that"..... After that day my sister, I stopped sending anyone and carries my child the best way I can cos he won't be a baby forever so my dear, allow her to enjoy the bond now that you are available, she will still learn to adjust when you start work

BellaElla:
Good morning mamas

Where my teamies dem na
It haff tey o
Lucioustrish, feddy27, princesskf, and all Oct 2016 mommies. How are our babies
It just occurred to me to post a tip for our pregnant sisters
Please carry hot water flask with beverages to d hospital when going to give birth. Also try to buy bread. Or send someone to get them for u before u put to bed. Also pack cup and spoon
I can never forget the kind of hunger that hammered me the day I gave birth to my son. I had to go round the ward looking for cup and tea and bread o. I couldn't even wait for hubby to bring them for me. I almost finished a loaf of bread and 3 cups of hot tea

Thanks for checking up on us dear teamie. Baby is doing great

dexterush:

Okay ma. I don't know how to pm oooo. I would have sent u a pm. please how much is it so that I will know if I can afford it. Secondly, I stay in Onitsha ooo. What's your location. You can send me an email on

dexterush:
When ever she brings out her tongue,tap it gently till she takes it back,be consistent she will stop,cos if you don't stop her now,it will be harder to stop her later.
For the car seat I have this one,lemme know if you are interested.

Ma, please I also need the car seat if ebony13 already has an offer and doesn't buy yours. Secondly, upto what age does this your car seater carry a baby cos I've not bought before and as such I don't know the difference

Wowwww. God is really awesome. He's never late

@blossomedcherry, do not give room to fear. Be positive and speak positive words to your los. It doesn't matter the means they came through. What matters is babies alive, mother alive, father alive with plenty plenty money. I've not done an operation before I had my son through emergency CS and it was successful so calm your nerves cos God got you through which ever procedure

A big congratulations to you jazzyjazz. May your cute son always bring you and your family joy always

nifeseun:
I went back, the site looks ok n neat. The matron pressed out sometin that looks like stock water n says it's normal that I av adipose tissue n am on the big side, n it wasn't elective cs, VE has been done several times.

Okay. Thank God it's nothing serious

nifeseun:
Pls, mama's that did cs, my insicion site still brings out pus and it's 2wks plus now, I just finished my last dose of ampiclox, but still draining out pus, the dr at the hospital says it's normal, I clean every Morin n evening with spirit n apply penicillin. Abeg is this normal.. abeg pls, don't ignore o..

Mine never brought out Pus ooo. In fact, I started tying wrapper on my tummy after 3 weeks. Though the doctor told me to wait for one month before tying shaa. So I don't think is normal but u should confirm from the hospital

[quote author=Mzleemah post=52531055]Good day mamas, have been having this feeling like something is stucked in my throat and its not making me eat well. Infact i prefer vomiting to this uncomfortable feeling.

Sorry dear. it also happened to me in the earlier months of pregnancy before vomiting followed suit. I think it's heart burn and it's part of the package. Don't worry, it will soon end in praise
