Cedarlivia:
The tailbone pain is called sciatica, baby's weight pressing down on your sciatic nerve. I don't know of any remedy to it shaa. I just shift my weight to the other side when it hits ie if I was lying on my right I would turn to the left. As for the cs scar I do feel twinges and pulling around there, old scar tissues stretching out I guess. But pls if you are in any form of discomfort or the pressure comes with pain do well to see your gynae o.

This one doesn't go if I change position o, it started till evening n even when I wake to pee at night, it's still there.....lasted about 3 days or so... It's subsided now sha... As for the scar, I'll bring it up in my next appointment... Thanks alot

Good evening sabi mamas in the house.. Pls I've been having this pain like constipation around my anal region/tail bone especially when I lie down... Pls how can I get rid of it?
CS mamas, did your expanding bulge put so much pressure on your cut? Cos mine feels tighter n stretched... Should I see a doctor or its norm@l??
Pls don't ignore mas

Honeysweetest:
I don't entertain negativity no matter how professional u are, I will change hospital asap,some of these doctors are so unprofessional,is well with u

Thanks mama... Thanks To All for the responses n assurances... I went to another hospital today(private) for a second opinion and the Dr said my baby is just fine n there's nothing wrong with the size... After doing his own tape measurement.... Says I shouldn't mind the former one and that all is well so there's no need to do scan again... I thanked him n left... Now that I'm thinking of it, maybe the baby wasnt in the best position for a head to toe measurement.. Don't even know sef... I'm just glad all is well.. Tnx again mamas

hunniesuzie:
Apologies but that doctor sounds irresponsible. Weight isn't a major factor at this point, fundal height gives a rough range. You can do a scan to give yourself peace but you need another doctor

Tnx mama... I'll seek a second opinion then

Giddyperson:
What's your baby's weight, they usually have a chart where they would compare your baby's weight to the ideal weight to tell you how far behind it is. You can Google up the chart then do a scan and compare by yourself too. This doctor sounds like someone that likes raising false alarms sha because I don't see why he couldn't do a scan right away and settle your mind before you leave, instead of turning false prophet.

I tire o... I'll do the scan tmr n compare myself then... God forbid bad prophecy! As at the last time I did scan about a month ago, they said it's still too small to determine weight n all but the result showed 207g+-30g...whatever that means

Awesomemama:
Why didn't he check for heartbeat instead of asking if you're sure baby kicks
If u ask me I'll say it's kind of early to be bothered about baby's size
What did the doctor say about the previous scan results

He didn't even request to see the scan result... I didn't do the scan at that hospital.. He didn't 3ven listen for heartbeat o... Just used tape to measure fundal height n started giving his head headache not me... Thinking of going to a private hospital tmr to register since they refuse to have sense in this teaching hospital but I'm trying not to be too forward as my mama don use mouth push am go corner say nothing is wrong, I should relax

Good day mummies....hope we are bumping well!
Just came back from antenatal and the Dr said things that got me worried,he said my baby is quite small for the age.. Actually it's too small and was asking if I'm sure baby kicks... It was even annoying me sef, me that as I'm typing, baby is kicking... So he asked if I've done scanat all, I said twice.... He said if by the next time I come, he doesnt like what he sees, he will ask for another scan... Now I'm abit worried... Anyone with similar issues? Is it OK? Do I eat more? Rest more? Sleep more? Or remove my mind... Pls don't ignore o... I'm 22wks...hd a 4.7kg baby n he said I don't look like u had a 4kg baby.. I just tire.

Nyxx123:
Mamas of NL, I dnt want to derail but I have a concern, I don't know but since I put to birth I have been so sensitive. Things normally am suppose to over look, I react, so inorder not to make a fool of myself, I came here to confirm if am over acting, thinking or worrying.

Here it goes
So I watched my male cousin's status, he uploaded his brother's 4 months old baby girl and captioned it "soulmate"
I replied soulmate And he replied

"Yesso no body should play with her for me"
"Na my own baby, my little bride"

Then my mama bear wanted to react but I restrained myself from doing so. Please I want to know if I should call him out or report him to his brother or his brother's wife or should I drink water and mind my business

Draw his attention to the implication of what he's doing n act based on his response... It could be innocent but if I were in ur shoes, I'd tell the child's mother as na my cousin, there's no fear of me being seen as causing unnecessary trouble.. .. Better safe than sorry biko

mukht:
Please check your pcv level. May God make it easy for us all.


Una good morin o,
I know it's not long ago I ranted but I'm here again...
I am tired oooooooo... Journey just dey start but I don't get this tiredness n weakness I feel...
Am I alone? Team Feb, pls come out... I'm 20+5days n I feel as weak as first trimester... It's Monday so this isn't even work stress... I'm supposed to feel rejuvenated but no... No one seems to understand.... Is it cos I have an active 1yr old? The only thing I did all weekend is to start to cook banga soup I didn't even finish cooking cos I was tired...pls is this normal like this?
End of rant

OK, thanks mama

Cutemarvel:
Teamie sorry about the weakness, are you sure there's no malaria?
I have an hyperactive 20 months toddler that whenever we go out, people will always credit me that you are really trying. I think that add to the weakness but somehow I'm forcing myself to do things.

Please, try to stay active as much as possible, it sometimes helps one to get out of the weakness phase.

The Lord will make the journey easy for us all.

Amen ooo... Feels good to know its not just me

Rant
I gave birth to my first son in December 2018 via CS after scan showed I still had placenta previa...Though I had an history of PCOS & ovarian cyst.
My baby will be 10months old in about 2weeks time and I just discovered today that I'm pregnant again, 6weeks pregnant based on LMP.
We didn't plan for this, I don't even know how it happened, so this doesn't sound so much of a good news to us.
Just can't stop wondering if I am at any risk keeping this pregnancy cos I have been spotting on n off for some days now? I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to see the doctor.

Have faith n be glad... It will end in praise. Congrats to you

MY OWN RANT OO

Greetings top mamas.
I've wanted to want for the longest time ever! It's just that sometimes I'm in the mood, other times I'm like "whatever, I'm I the first person even carry belle"

I'm a FTM and I'm haywire most of the time. I'm 13w2d. Sometimes I want to explain to hubby but I don't even know where to start. The taste in my mouth is the most irritating thing ever! I don't even know what to do. I have tried and tried.

Or is it the fact that sometimes I just feel generally uncomfortable and generally irritated. I don't even recognize this my body again. It's like it doesn't listen to me, it just goes about behaving anyhow. I'm always tired and sometimes I can't even lift myself up.

Three weeks ago I was craving food all over the place, this week I just hate food. I just want to drink something. I thought they said it would all stop by second trimester, but they lied o. And I'll just be sweating and my back and my thighs would be painful. Is this how some women have up to six children? Nawa o
But...the Lord remains my strength.

END
THANK YOU

This is how they born football field oh... The Lord is our muscle jare

My back aches, my eyes hurt, my tommy long n DS has a way of making it his drum even after buying a drum for him... I want to meet my mummmmmy
Only God knows what the real tiring 3rd trimester holds for me... Funny thing is looking at me, u can only see maybe tiredness cos I try my best to dress up so I don't fall into total depression

You can find out once you are 18 weeks using normal ultrasound scam depending on the position baby is lying in sha...

Team Feb 2020..how are we doing... Have our bumps started causing go slow? Able cappo.., hope your are good.. Abeg register me o, I have found out baby's gender n i can't keep calm

Good afternoon mummies... Pls I have some worries /questions about my DS... I'm a ftm n I don't want to miss proper parenting.. DS is almost a year but while playing, he slaps so hard on the face n recently, he bites esp when he's restless from trying to sleep... I have done all I know to do, bite him back, hit him back, said no, even scolded him but he seems to forget n do it again... Very painful bites for that matter, n now when u want to hit him or when I loose it n scold him, I see fear all over him, he blinks several times n then starts to cry.... N goes really quiet... I need to pull him back again to make him jovial or something... I'm just worried so he doesn't go about biting people in his crèche but how do I do this without crushing his confidence(for lack of a better word)? Scolding abi shouting at him is making him act somehow(on days I don't spank him out of anger) Pls I'll be waiting for experienced mamas to help me chook mouth
Cc all sabi mamas

nooker:
Good morning able mamas. Please does anyone know where i can get a good car seat in Benin? Thanks in advance

Go to mission road, there's a big baby shop here they sell at wholesale price... It's called first class baby shop or something like that... When entering from ring road by the right.... U can also check Hall mark, market square, baby care shop on Upper forestry but I buy from the first class whatever, her things re original n cheap

jazzyjazz:
Soft swallow with draw soup is always a hit! Try it

Will do mama.. Tnx. I hope he eats more that 5 hands though

Giddyperson:
Lmao, I can imagine the purging that would have followed, though I doubt your baby would have agreed to eat that.

In addition to what other mamas have said

I hardly give my kids anything I can't eat myself. So the key is to make baby-friendly versions of your every-day adult food.
My kids won't eat blended boiled rice, so I blend dry rice then boil.

Same goes for pasta. Some kids don't mind tho.

If it's like plantain or potatoes, I boil and blend then put back in the pot and cook like normal porridge.

Blend dry rice then cook it like you'll cook your normal jollof rice but with little or no pepper and maggi and bones.
Hope you're not using canned Sardine, instead buy fresh fish, as well as fresh ginger and garlic.

Don't mix ingredients that would normally not go in the same meal. You can coom soup with the spinach and feed him semo.

Choi... Thnx mama, I threw it away immediately I tasted it o... I used canned sardines, I'll switch... I can't stand the smell of garlic so I bought the blended ones... Are they not good enough? The thing with cooking his food is that he will eat like 3 or 4 spoons n not eat again... Making the whole thing tiresome which is why I went to buy friso on the first place...

So after blending the food, say boiled yam or potato, u cook again, ill definitely try it, tnx mama

I looked in the mirror today and I cried.
I’m just feeling so down at the moment I don’t know if it’s hormones but I’m just feeling so out of it, like I just can’t recognise the human being in front of me. I know I should be grateful for this blessing but I feel I’m losing myself in the process. My face has become so much darker than the rest of my body, I’m adding weight at an extreme pace, I don’t want to go out anymore I don’t feel good in anything I wear. My lips are constantly peeling then I have all these dark spots on my face from the acne I had from the first trimester. I don’t have the energy to be myself, to do normal things, I’m just moody most of the time. I’m just thinking out loud though , and I hope I can feel better about myself as I continue this pregnancy. I’m not ungrateful.

E-hugs darling mama... Na the package be that... It will pass... I feel the same way most times but mine passes faster cos of the active child I'm tending to...so its mood swings for me... We love U

Good afternoon sabi mamas, pls is bitter kola safe for consumption in pregnancy? As na bitter kola chewing una sister dey crave now...

enque:
I'd say keep it simple for now, especially since I assume ur kid is below 1yr (Correct me if I am wrong).
There is a whole lot going on in that plate biko

Yea yea, 11 months. I'll adjust, thnx mama

Pls can anyone help me with a guide as to dos n don'ts when mixing pls.... I'll be waiting cos this time n effort I put into this thing is paining ne

zaynie:
A lot of people swear by onion water.

You take the dry outermost layer of onions and boil, use the water to bathe your lo but be careful as it stains so try to use a dark towel when you do this.

Oh really? Pls does it stop the excessive sweating or it heals the rashes?

ArewaMomma:
Hello lovely Moms! I'm a ftm who has been a silent follower of this thread for some months now, but just joined nairaland now.

My baby is almost 2 months old now (7weeks+). Pls I'll like to ask if it's normal for a baby of that age not to poop for 5 days straight? He only farts & pees regularly, and doesn't show any sign of discomfort. I'm really worried cos for an adult, it's a thing of concern not to poop for that long . BTW, he's on EBF. Thanks as I await your responses.

Congratulations mama n welcome on board.... It's OK for him not to poop that long because of the EBF...he will poop eventually, there's nothing to worry about

Temitope009:
We're in the same shoe. I guess you can't stop it. It's there stage and time. You also cannot be carrying the child up and down as this is their time to explore. It's your own little work to make the place baby safe (by being proactive, clean clean clean, pick anything on the floor before he does). It's hard but that's the price of being a parent. May God reward our patience and hardworking.

The other mama already answered the second question.

Quite hard esp with my bump but I'll do my best n leave the rest biko.... Tnx for the response, God bless us all
