Poor me
Hubby travelled back to work this evening

But if you BD'd before he left there's a good chance of getting pregnant.

The sono that did today's scan told me that there is an irregular collapsed follicle in the left ovary which indicates ovulate
Though I saw mucus today and it was much
The time of doing the tracking,is ovulation in the left ovary still in process?

Madam you should not be here asking questions .
Return to your bedroom and BD pls.

Thanks Sugah …please what’s the best brand of follic acid that’s also affordable…also any other drug apart from follic that I should take…Ive heard of femous

What they give at the hospital is a Nigerian brand that's 5mg. Its vitabiotics folic acid and they also have ferrous tablets too. And it's affordable

Terminalia:
Good day everyone.

What can I give to my baby to gain weight. LO is 13month and currently weigh 9kg. Thank you

Genetics play a huge role in baby weight. What was the birth weight? Is the child eating well or a picky eater?

At 13 months food consistency should be mashed not pureed. In addition to the previous mamas post, you can add fatty foods to the food for the baby. Get butter (not margarine) and add to mashed rice, potatoes, pap (augustsecrets) etc. Use full cream milk for teas and pap. Generally give balanced diet.

jblesn:
Hello mamas, my baby is 6 weeks old. He has been on formula because my supply is low. What can I do to increase my supply, I would really like to do EBF

Your supply isn't improving because the baby isn't sucking well so you have to introduce pumping.
Lots of water, rest, eat well, pap and pump pump pump.

shutupareyouGOD:
I went back to the hospital today guys and insisted on a scan..I was told madam it’s 6 weeks after the scan…it’s too early madam…calm down….come back when you are 12 weeks and we would register u for antenatal…manage till then you hear…oya bye bye…:well at least I got the scan I wanted and confirmed 6 weeks……so I’ll just keep taking my follic acid and go back 12 weeks

Congratulations mama. Wish you a healthy and happy pregnancy.

My sister, runaway from anything that claims to brighten the skin for children...they're bleaching agents.
Go for hypoallergenic products

Flakky26:
Bromergon and parlodel, which is better to reduce prolactin for ovulation to happen.Also share your experience if you have used either of the drugs. thanks

No personal experience.

But more people have recommended dostinex in the past than these.

Chasicolis:


Sugah, please how can I contact you?

I replied your pm

Slimbae2:
Hello house, pls my 12 days old baby always poo immediately after feeding..

As long as the poo is mustard yellow (with seedlike texture for ebf babies or smooth for mixed feeding I.e breastmilk+formula) it's fine.

revcompaty:
Good day mothers in the house, what can be used to help a 2 months old baby poo? she's not doing the pooing thing, instead she farts.
PS: We've tried the cotton wool and mentholated robb into her anus method and also ensures she takes water.
She's exclusively feeding on breast milk.

Stop the water. Exclusively breastfed babies shouldn't be given water.

It's normal for Exclusively breastfed babies to go upto 2 weeks without pooing or to poo after every feeding.
Please leave her alone.

mimiwems:

Hello mummies and daddies.
Pls I'm new here. My baby is 5wks old (EBF) and his tongue gradually turned blue since 2wks now. Should I be worried? Anybody experienced such?

Google says...
Blue lips (cyanosis)
“If your baby’s lips are turning blue, or the mucus membranes in their mouth or tongue turn blue, this is a sign that they are not getting enough oxygen,” says Carrie Drazba, MD, a pediatrician at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. This condition is known as cyanosis.

General rules in neonates and infants, if something doesn't look right go see a doctor.

classichique:
Hello,

Please my 2year 8month old son is constipated. What can I give him that may cause quick relief and let him poop? He is crying from his sleep.

I have given him water, oranges, put an ointment in his anus, he has been stretching his legs unable to poop.

Also any recommendations on a good meal plan for that age?

You can give him enema to relieve him now.

GreaterGraceGG:

Fireandice0589:


Thanks alot. Result is for hubby

1+1=1

Although I would have preferred if he was the one asking by himself...Men go on an ego trip sometimes when it comes down to their swimmers and ability(inability) to impregnate their women.
Follow with wisdom and ensure he complies.

Have you done your own checks?

Sug.ah, Tutu.82 and everyone.
I appreciate everyone God has been using on this forum.
I pray God answer everyone looking unto Him for fruit of the womb. I and my DW, started the antibiotics treatment on May 1st 2021 and completed it on 25 along with fasting and praying. God has answered our prayer.
I pray God shall answer others speadily, we can also try the antibiotics treatment.
Thanks

This has made my day!!! Congratulations to you both. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy.

Fireandice0589:
Pls fruitful mamas and papas, kindly help me explain this semen analysis �

Your sperm count (18million) and motility (40%) is low. Minimum required is at least 20million and 50% respectively.
Good thing you've abstained from alcohol, if you smoke stop it. Eat healthy, fruits and veges, exercise...buy manix, vit E

dunpredictable:
Good day mamas. May God almighty protect our LOs.

Please I need help. I noticed my 2 months old baby's hair was cutting when combing it. This morning I saw some kind of oil residues on his scalp. When I washed the hair when bathing him, he lost so much hair and some even pulled.

I initially used coconut oil on his hair then the baby oil when the coconut oil got finished. I'm so worried.

It's cradle cap.
Buy selsun blue shampoo.
Pour a little oil on.the scalp and use a fine tooth comb to comb out the scaly stuff on the scalp. Wash the hair with selsun blue shampoo.
Do this 2ice a week until the cradle cap goes.

katchycouture:
Good evening mamas, please recommend a pediatric hospital in Lagos, we live in ikorodu and I would really love to see a pediatrician, the general hospital in ikorodu wouldn't let you see a pediatrician until the general doctors have done all they can before they call in a specialist..

The shepard medical Centre is a pediatric hospital in Ikeja. Opebi by salvation busstop.

Chasicolis:


Hello Sugah,
Thanks for checking up.
Was really down few weeks ago when my period came out after all positive expectations.
Though, my gynecologist suggest I discontinue from all drugs (metformin and clomid) but vitamins this month.
We still hopeful.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. You shall testify soon.

Dymo11:
Fine Sugah …tnks Egg boost was given…can’t say the brand cuz it was just tablets in the tablet bag 10 tiny pills 2 daily from day 3 to 7. It’s not clomid cuz we’ve used clomid before and no ovulation. Also used wellman to boost sperm…. Now dunno if we should continue with the varicocele surgery…we have already booked for September..not paid yet tho…dunno if it’s necessary at this point as we conceived without it??

Thanks.
Cool...probably letrozole.
If the varicocele isn't problematic you can decide not to go ahead.
Regards to madam and hope she's taking her folic acid.

Glorioussugar:


I took the HSG film to my gynecologist and he said the result they gave me was wrong. And tubes are patent. I wasn't convinced, I took it to another gyn and he said the same thing. My gyn suggested the trigger shot. I don't know why it is and how it works, that's why I asked. They only said they saw 3.8cm paratubal cyst.
.
@su. gah

Does it mean the Doctor at the lab doesn't know how to interpret results? Or did they make a mistake somewhere? You should clarify the tube patency before continuing to induce ovulation pls.

Ovulation induction is only valid for one cycle...it'll need to be done when your husband is available

Dymo11:
Okay o I’ll share mine…mine I short and simple and planned by God. Someone on this thread introduced me to the people’s doctor on Instagram.I shrugged it off like which kind online doctor
But something told me to check the page and I did…told my spouse.we paid consultation fee and she asked for all the test….we worked on the sperm and the egg. Then triggered and God did it on our first try
I was almost on disbelief

She is a great doctor and made our journey less stressful.
She doesn’t treat blindly and knows exactly what to treat even without seeing you.Although she has a hospital in Benin…

How's our mama doing?

If you don't mind, can you please share what actual medication was given, doses and days administered? I remember you mentioned madam wasn't ovulating on her own

Chasicolis:
Please someone should help explain better.@sugah

Thought of you today....

tatacherie:
Hello mamas goodmorning to you all
Una do well for me oo thanks to all that responded with prayers, links and extract from articles that explained the condition clearly. You all helped in calming the tension in me and asking constructive questions when they were evaluating her yesterday

So the paed we saw said the vagina closure is as a result of vagina inflammation and that droplets of urine, excessive sweating down there and even certain diapers can cause it. And that the area must have been red like a sore and decided to heal and close up because at her age she doesn't have the hormone(estrogen) that is supposed to keep the place naturally lubricated to avoid gumming together.

So he recommended a topical estrogen cream to help her produce the homone and we are to apply it for 2 weeks and that it will lubricate and release the muscles around the site and open the vjay up.

But the only thing is she may start menstruating earlier than her age mates because she's been exposed to puberty hormones at a very tender age. I feel I have failed my girl as a mother. I've been praying for her and asking God for forgiveness

Our next appointment is in 2 weeks time. He said he will only do a minor surgery on the site only if the estrogen cream didn't have any impact after usage but usually there's very high positive result with the cream

Fingers seriously crossed as I'm prayerfully applying the cream, trusting God Almighty to take charge

From now on I'll be checking their vjay everyweek I feel terrible

Godbless you all for standing in the gap for me

Well done mama. @Bolded..NO you have not. You're an amazing mom to your daughters, do keep it up

I didn't know this could be a thing.
Although I've had it at the back of my mind that daughters require a little more attention because like adults they are prone to infection. I've been consciously making sure my babygirl is wiped from front to back during diaper changes to ensure there's no transfer of poop to the vagina but sometimes you open the diaper and there's poop all over the vaginal region
May God keep helping us to care for these little gifts put in our care.

Is it only tombrown he's reacting to?
It's probably an intolerance to one of the components of tombrown.
You can give him rice based cereals and single grain cereals until you discover which is the culprit. Nutribom, frisogold, cerelac etc have single grain cereals
