chuks000: Wia ar u presently?

Lagos

bumytebaby: I Am in my 39 weeks of pregnancy,av been feeling some Braxton hicks contractions with some vaginal discharges dt looks lyk mucous although without blood stain. Pls doc, is d discharge normal n hw soon shld I be xpecting ma baby cos I can't wait 2 carry him or her in my arms.

pls pack ur bags o. D blood stained mucus(show) will come anytime frm nw. Awaiting ur birth story

beedam: Hello mamas, I ve been a silent follower before I got married but just waiting for the day to come b4 I officially join all my senior mamas. I'm 11wks gone now. Please wen will this first trimester stop o cos the pain and stress of this 24/7 sickness has really dealt with me. I hope it will be over in 12weeks? Also,the saliva thing is just a big nut to crack. Nothing is working for me as regard that. I don tire

welcome dear! Abeg no tire o, let d joy/anticipation dat one day u ll carry ur bundle of joy keep u. Hv u tried ice chips/crackers for d saliva?It works for some pple. BTW, dis ur moniker resemble beevan own o, I think say beev don change moniker again.Lol

LaRoyalHighness: I dey oo my sister... Yea.. I am blessed. You? and my cutie?... I actually left this thread, but when I saw my moniker being mentioned here, I decided to read up... I am glad I did... Its really educating in here. Thanks for the mention. I am back here now. Kudos to you all for keeping this thread alive.

@everyone! Happy weekend people.

I m gud too, thanks. Welcome back abeg.Pls do pop in to make ur own contributions as we learn everyday, no leave again o.Lol

dhabeautyjas: i think the age shouldnt be our point of call. it should be their maturity. some 20 yr old are more matured

I agree dat age does not always mean maturity, and shldnt b d emphasis.But I stll think 20yrs is too early for a GUY to get married. There some things dat shld just come wt tym. For a girl, I might agree, but for a GUY??I disagree

Rukemi291: tchiwinnie. there is a boy in my neighbourhood. He's 20 in d university. He has a girlfriend the parents are aware of. Long story short, he got the gf pregnant. And the wealthy parents got them married cos of shame. I am sure if d boy had told them he wanted to get married, the would have not agreed. Now dem marry them by force

From dis example, it appears wot d boy wanted @ dat stage was sex, and that isn't d foundation of marriage. U can't tell ur son to marry @ 20, just so dat he cld hv d license to hv sex. There re oda things to consider

Thank u Father for d gift of life, thank u for a new day, thank u for every family represented here.
Lord we pray for peace in our homes. We commit our husbands into ur care, dear Lord pls shield dem frm every stranewoman/home breaker,IJN. May they love, cherish and honour us IJN. As d leaders of d home may they lead us well, help them to make d ryt decisions,IJN.
Father help us to b great wives and exemplary mothers, renew our strenght every day. Help us to build our homes as d bible says that a wise woman builds her home.IJN Amen. Thank u Lord because u hear us wen we pray, in jesus mighty name I pray, amen!

(Sorry I m posting late)

LyndaRoyce: Phun, I may forgive.... But the friendship is OVER!

Wot happens to d marriage- will it b over too?

@Amjane, pele. Each day dat passes brings u closer to ur EDD.
Mamas, let's start posting prayers frm 9pm to 12midnyt. If u go to bed b4 9pm, u can post urs b4 u sleep.
@LaRoyalhighness, ow body? U neva recover frm tsunami? Lol.Ope u re good tho

@Preshila, my dear d thing tire me too o. Maran, I really like ur style jare.We used to hv a neighbour dat didn't allow his kids attend bday parties because of d music/dance.I used to think he was being too harsh, bt nw I think I undstd him. We need to really b watchfl, even d so-called cartoons smtyms, don't even have 'children theme' sef.

For clothes our kids put on, hhmmm dat 1 na anoda matter. Most children dese days hv lost their childhood. They don't wear all these pretty ball gowns again, na bum short,smh. For me, my kids will dress like kids o, wen they grow up let dem wear adult wears

@Opeoluwa, happy 6months bday to ur princess. May she continue to bring joy to ur home.
@Rukemi, I undstd ur point, bt hhhmmm, for a guy isn't 21yrs too early, I think it is o.
@ all mamas, our first post-tsunami prayers holds today btwn 9pm-12midnyt. Let's post our prayers.
Lovely friday to every1

@OP, mayb u didn't get any response b/c ur question isn't so clear. If u mean immunization, they re free in govt hsptl(that is those vaccines dat fall under NPI) and they re for babies. Don't kno abt d one given to mothers, 'cos I didn't receive any. For d 'special' vaccines like rotavirus, pneumococcal, their prices differ depending on whr u re getting frm, bt they shld b within d border of 8k per dose. Hope this helps.

Wow, nice topics mamas. For me, frm 24yrs s ok for me to gv my dota out in marriage.
I wld also like to start as early as my child can undstd me to chip in sex education. For eg, @ age 3, I can tell dem nt to allow any one(relative or nt) touch their 'wee wee boy'(a lot of atrocities re happening. I tell dem dat woteva any1 does/ says to dem and tells dem nt to tell mummy, they shld tell me, 'cos mummy loves dem and wants d best for dem.
For my girls, I ll tell dem abt menses b4 it starts o. I saw mine quite early, and I didn't even kno wot it was. Wen I told my mum I saw blood, she just said 'it is it'.She didn't even kno if I knew wot 'it' was. She hadn't told me anything abt it, just assumed I knew wot it was. For my dd, I ll tell her on tym and tell her wot dat means too.
For age of sex, it shld b within d confines of marriage. So wen they marry, they shld fire on.
In all mamas, let's keep praying for dem. We ll lay d right foundation and trust God to shield dem frm d decadence dat abounds in dis tym.

Ndewo to all mamas.
@chifreke, I agree wt Beev, a guy dat didn't cheat in his youth will nt likely cheat during old age. Abeg at dat age na relaxation/companionship go get upper hand.
For d tribal mark issue, hhhhmmm once she don do it na irreversible na.Bt I kno my mum in law no go do am.Lol
@Mamas, so prayers ll hold on fri btwn 9pm to 12midnyt.Let's post a prayer b4 we sleep.
@Oluwawunmi, doo. No cause for alarm. It happened to some mamas here too. Ope u ve done ur shopping and ur bags are packed already. May God mk it easy for u.

Gdmorning ladies! Ope we re all good. I hail all A-Z mamas, active mamas and MIA mamas.
So wot do we do to revive d thread mamas? We ve lost our groove. We need d fun to return na. Will it b anoda beauty pagent, abi diff recipes, or wch topic shld we discuss. Meanwhyl, I suggest we hold our first 'post-tsunami' prayers this friday, 9pm-12midnight.Wot do we think. Suggestions pls.
@ all pushing mamas, may God mk it easy for u.U all will carry ur bundles of joy soon.We can't wait to celebrate wt u.

Pls any advice on how I can invest 50,000 naira. I ve found out dat I m nt really a business person(buying and selling doesn't really work for me). Awaiting responses. Thank u.

@Rukemi, okk thanks. I kno dat area, will check.
@joy4mi u try well well, having a befitting title for each mama.
@ all mamas una doo. May our day b blessed.

auska2: hello everyone ! my baby is a month + now, she has a bloated stomach since birth, when I took her to the paed he asked if av been giving her concotion (agbo) or water which I didn't give any and I said no, he then prescribed ampiclox drops. she has taken it and the stomach is still big, what can I do to make her tommy become normal. pls I need your responds am worried.

Hi dear, congrats on ur safe delivery!I think ur baby is just fine, since u said d 'bloated' stomach has bn there since birth. Does she stool and fart well? If there were a problem, she wouldn't hv remained so till nw. Try to wait it out, don't gv anything. As long as she s active, feeds well, stools, farts. U cld also seek a 2nd opinion frm anoda paed. Pls don't gv her herbal meds o. Tk care

@juliebest, happy bday in arears, ope u had fun. Wish u many more years of joy.
@Chocome, lemme attempt a repeat,I m sure oda mamas will add to d list.Ur hsptl will also gv u their own list.
Sleepsuits,bodysuits,sleeveless suits, caps, booty/mints,socks, facetowels,baby towel baby oil(depends on wot u want to use),baby soap,bathing bath(comes in a set dat has buckets,big 'baff', cup, 'poe'),olive oil, cotton wool/spirit,combs,nursing bras, disposable pants(optional),breastpad(I ve nt used mine yet bt sm pple's BM overflows),If u hv plans of expressing, then feeding bottles, breastpump, sterilizing tablets.others- diapers(don't buy too many until u re sure of ur baby's size), wipes, outing clothes( u may buy some nw, or later, ur choice).
If I rmbr more, I ll add.These are just basic things, other things depend on u like, walker, rocker, stroller, baby cot etc.

Amis: Hello mamas in d ouse just stumble on dis thread...hope i wil b welcome am 16wks far n due by dec...bt av bin in n.out of d hosp eva since mia mawin.sickness n nausea is killin dt av lose so much weight already....is dis normal thou am.nt a first tym mum bt mia first was pretty gud n smooth

U re very much welcome. Each pregnancy is usu unique in itself, completely different frm d oda. Just tk it one day @ a time, doo

@darlenee, good to hv u here. May God answer u soonest!
@Tbaby4real, I don't think becky was talking abt spanking/slapping, I think she meant correcting ur child wen he/she does wrong.@beckytunde, I don't think its wrong o.As long as wot d child did or is doing is wrong, and wot d elderly woman s telling him/her is right, then I wldnt forbid it.Mayb d woman's children's 'ways' even break her heart, D impt thing is for d child to b tot to do right.

Good morning mamas, ope we slept well. Its d last day in d 1st half of d year. Soo gratefl to God for His mercies.
@Kemmy, u re welcome.
@Chocome, I m d one dat gave d list? Hv u been able to get anoda?
@Beevan, dooo. They don wipe ur moniker? I hail o
@Donatee, ow prep dear? D Lord s ur biceps.

@Kemmy, as long as ur baby s still active, and nt running temperature, he s fine. In fact, I also had d same experience wt my LO wen he was even 3months+. Changing diaper wt almost each feed as u said, up to 5,6 times a day. I gave it tym, didn't gv ORS or anything and after some days, it stopped on its own. So I think u shld just relax dear. A lot people ll suggest diff things, just wait it out ok?

CERKEYNAH: Hello everyone, I'm just joining d health session. My little man just clocked 2wks 2day, he doesn't suck breast, he suck small, leave it n start crying since birth till now buh if I squeeze it into his cup or feeding bottle he takes it very well. I'm so worried. Pls any advise.

Does he hv any other problems apart frm this- Is he irritable, do u notice colour changes smtyms? Did he cry immediately after birth? Wch does he prefer - cup/spoon or feeding bottle
