thanks swthrt, have been taking the vit c oo, as for the warm water , DH is even quarelling me rite now, cold water dey my side as I d type, my problem is the stomach pain dat comes whenever I sneeze, will try as much as possible to reduce this cold water .

CC: All mamas oooo,
Pls even if u don't know all the answers, anyone u know, just ansa for me biko

1. Am having running nose, and am sneezing a lot, and anytime I sneeze, I have serious stomach pain for 2-3mins, I always use my hand to support my tummy when I want to sneeze, but it doesn't work,pls what can I do?

2.Am calculating 27wks plus, my hospt is calculating 28wks plus,scan is calculating 30wks plus, and my los are weighing 1.53kg(leading) and 1.32kg, should I be worried about the weight? And which wks should I go with, been that my lmp is nov 7th?

3. My 1st baby was thru emergency cs, in as much as I want a vbac for my 2nd, all d dr's dat I have seen are against it cos it's a multiple pregnancy, (moreover, for the past 1 month,the leading twin is breech, while the 2nd is cephalic)that I shouldn't risk it. Even dh said I should go for a planned cs, I have agreed to it, but am still thinking should I try vbac? If am to go with the planned cs, at what weeks will it be safe for my los?

4. There is this binder the call orthopedic binder, that it can be used immediately after a cs, it's like a girdle, has anyone used or heard of it before?

Sorry for the plenty kwenshions

@sugah so sorry for your loss, may Her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

@fruitfulvine360 @udoomama

Lol. This pee thing gets worse if you're the type that drinks water like a camel, to the extent that you'll start envying kids who wear diapers . But you can try this sha o, its what i do. Even tho i drink water a lot, i can stay without peeing for an hour except i just feel like visiting the toilet. Try this:

Lean forward when you urinate. This helps empty out your bladder better. Or try the double-voiding method(pee, then when you're done, pee again). This ensures that your bladder is completely emptied each time, so you might need fewer trips to the bathroom.

@mitchy dear, that's what I dooo,when I go to pee, I don't sit on the toilet, I stand and lean forward, but surprisingly, after leaving the rest room, I will go back immediately to pee again. Just like u said, I think it's cos of the water I consume, I drink water very well, even in d middle of d nite, I wake up to drink water, 1st thing in d morning, it's water. What am disturbed about is that, when I just take a step, as if the urine wants to come out.

Good morning mamas, who is experiencing this 2mins pee? Hope am safe?

BritneyStacy:
Good morning mama's.... (ranting mood)
Not in a good mood at all. Headache, fever and purging throughout yersterday evening and at night. Having blisters in my mouth too, couldnt even eat dinner. My well prepared vegetable soup with better tasting he-goat meat...Watching DH gulp down the food alone, I almost cried...Got my long expected rain at night but its not making sense to me right now .....
Exactly one month ago I treated malaria, wouldn't want to believe am down with it again. ... . Getting ready for ANC this morning. ....
My second trimester was very peaceful. ..third trimester , is this how you want to welcome me and treat me ?

it is well my able captain, just do another malaria test as u go for ur anc, and hope u are using mosquito net? By his grace we have few weeks to go, it must surely end in praise

Ada243:
Abuja mamas please recommend a good ultrasound centre where i can do a gender scan and be sure of the result.

where is your location? Check Echoscan Areaa 11 gimbiya street. If in wuse, check Medicaid wuse 2( their prices is a bit high compared to others shaa) google for their full address

Evacroft:

Thanks maam,i stay in garki and registered with nisa,but have been hearing of cs been d order of d day,though not sure,so I want another review on anything I table on the matter. I will go to the jabi district. God bless u.
In another news am so bored in abj.

ouch, my place is far, na so we for meet up, I stay at karu FHA,and am always indoors. yes jabi is better, garki and Nisa are almost the same in prices, it's the same person that owns both hospt, honestly they like cs too much, and the prices no be here ooo, @ garki, their cs, ranges from 280k -500k(excluding drugs oo)

Evacroft:
@babythug,me sef don dey wonder since 'bout what it means to take ur hospital bag to d hospital months or weeks bfore lo arrival. Abeg mama's make una explain.

Baby190 really sorry for the omission, it won't happen again and u are not going anywhere.

81days to August,the Lord is our strength.

Abuja mama's, pls I need review on any good general hospital,presently am registered with a private hospital and need different reviews.thanks In anticipation.

#teamaugustforsafedelivery.

my teammie, depends on your location ooo, and or. If you are mobile and wouldn't mind the traffic and stress, the 1st I will suggest is federal medical centre jabi ( haven't been there before, but friends and neighbor's who have used the place recommended it for me, but cos of distance, I didn't go. 2nd I will suggest garki( but it's no longer a govt hospt, but their services are very okay, but quite expensive ooooo, Vjay delivery is 40k and 60k if it's a consultant that is taken ur delivery) 3rd I will suggest asokoro ( but your 1st visit u go dey patient small, it's gyna that attends to anc women, they have plenty experienced staff,) and lastly maitama, ( don't know much about them, but have been there when I took my mum for treatment and I liked the way they were attending to women that came for antenatal) wuse gen hospt I went there for my 1st baby, d crowd alone is something else, don't know of now) nyanya gen hospt it's a no go area, if u reg at 3 months, ur nxt appointment might be when u r 8mnths gone, most times, no bed space for patients, the place is always like a mkt place.

BritneyStacy:

. I use shaving stick .I move the shaving stick with my 6th sense. I stand to shave the front part. I then squat to do the part in btween. While shaving there, I move gently so as to avoid cutting myself. I don't necessarily aim for complete hair removal and I try to shave at least once a week so i don't let it get too bushy . The more hairs there, the more stressful it is cos squating for long with a bump is really tasking! !

Alternatively, you ask DH. Why I avoid asking him is because when he finishes, he will ask for settlement and my libido has gone to Sambisa and has not yet returned .

heheheheheheheh, my captain, lmao , which man that has blood flowing thru his veins would see food and not eat , na so my dh sef d do, u must settle him in kind for the job done lol

ugochiada:

#team October ending for joy#

my dear, I don't think there is a solution ooo, have been having that pain now for over a month, it gets worse some days, climbing and coming down from the bed is diff, except someone assists me, like yesterday, I had to beg the dr to help me lift my right leg on the examination bed , cos on my own honestly I cannot. Have been complaining but all I hear is take paracetamol, so I have stopped complaining. It's well

BritneyStacy:

Chinwendym:
Some say newborn skin needs nothing! Some say ori is better, others swear by ordinary Vaseline.

I used both oil and lotion, I massage my baby's body with oil after each bath and then apply the lotion.

Yes coconut oil can last to a month and still be good.

Don't know about sebamed and aveeno I am a chicco mama! Used it from my sons birth and loving it till date.Your baby's skin will choose what it likes when you apply whatever you decide to go with.

thanks so much dearie, I fit follow ur foot steps cos so loving Ekene's skin , as for ori, God knows I can't stand d smell , want to make my coconut oil, a month to my due month and keep.

Hello my e sis, pls I need clarification on somethings ooo, even though am not a FTM, but we learn everyday sha,

What's the best thing to apply on a new born's skin btw lotion/cream and oil?

Can one make coconut oil and keep for a month before use? Will it still be good?

Lastly,btw sebamed and aveeno products, which is better?

@adorablewifey, the words of your mouth, and your heart desires will be granted in Jesus Name, double shall it be. It is well sis, I love ur faith.

Gaily04:

Good morning mama's pls say a prayer for one of your own.. Work up this morning got to the bathroom to brush and take my bath afterward. Sat on dh boxers, after brushing stood to get something in the kitchen that was when dh called me back to come and see. On getting there i notice i had spotted brown on his boxer. We called his doctor Bil who adviced us to head to the hospital, so here we are waiting to see a doctor. I am not cramping for now. I refuse to cast my young. This gift the lord has given us must see this earth and live till old age. Pls put us in your prayers. TIA

So today, av been in high- spirit. Woke up as early as 5:30am with a rumbling abi growling stomach, had to take tea bfor Lo's go vex . I ate dinner too early yestday, say 6pm .
Den I took my bath, took some sexy bump shots for nxt weeks #threadBumpies .

So far the Lord has been so good to me.

my paddy, thanks for the shout out ooo, I dey like say I no dey,have not been too strong of late, but it is well, kisses to your lo's.

Oh Father God, in Gen 1:26, you created man in your image and in your likeness. You are a reproductive God, you are a fertile God. Man whom you created in your own image and likeness should not be fertile or unable to reproduce. That is why in Gen 1:28, you commanded man to go and increase and multiply. I claim for myself and for every mama on this thread now the anointing for increasing, and the anointing for multiplication. Oh Lord we shall multiply. In Exodus 23:26, "in your land no woman will have a miscarriage or be without children". Let this word be fulfilled in our lives. Miscarriage is not our portion, Barrenness is not our portion. Our portion is fertility and we are fertile in Jesus Name. Amennn. My e sisters, it's been a while, make una pardon me ooo, it has not been easy, but God has been faithful, I miss you guys plenty.

I can see many newbies, una welcome, may your stay be short here IJN.

I use myself as a point of contact to all, May God bless each one of us on this thread with his/her heart desire before the year runs out IJN amen.

Responses I got this week.

1. I called a neighbour who had a son less than a year when I got married to congratulate her because she just had another son just after a year plus she had the first, so after speaking with her, I said i should also greet her husband. And he asked how far, u Don born. I said not yet. He said ehen? me I don born another one making it two. I said no wahala

2. I saluted a friend on Facebook and the response he gave me was that he saw my pix I posted on Facebook. Why is my Tommy still flat, if hubby can't do his job, he can help me out. that he is very potent

3. I went to visit our church lady who lives around and she was like, how are mine doing? she had wanted to ask my husband. there was a time she tot I was pregnant and was expecting she will be coming to take pepper soup by now.

4. I called a friend who was a roomie back then in school, I was like, hello Blessing, good morning, e don tey oo, how far. Her reply " u don born!" and I said its dt ur first reply, u didn't return my greetings, wen the time comes, I will let u know. She was like, ok ooo, e don tey naaa , one year don pass dey go, dt is why I asked.

the main fact is dt whenever I call most of my friends, their first reply is dt " u don born" I can't remember giving pple such kind of blunt questions even wen I was still single. in fact, three guys have opted to assist me get pregnant claiming they are very potent. How it hurts! one former colleague said on chat, I tot u were pregnant since, u no dey born am? When I saw another one in a meeting, I told her I was just coming back from my sis place dt did child dedication, dt I slept there. And she was like, stop sleeping over, u have to be with ur husband always so you can be pregnant.

My pple, una fit imagine?

my dear, I understand that feeling, I don't know why people talk as if it's humans that gives children, same thing happened to me too, some people who don't call, will wake up one day and call, the next thing, you neva get beelle? , even when I got pregnant, u neva born? That's human being for you, and funny enough I don't ask people such questions. Ater my 1st baby clocked 1 see questions again, what are u waiting for? Baby is walking already,as if they will help u pay sch fees when u born all the kids. In essence what am saying is that, people must always talk, if u decide to born every year, they will still talk, just ignore them, I know it's not easy, but try,at God's appointed time, everything will fall into place, His promises to us in psalm 128:6 will come to pass in Jesus Name.

Izzystevens:
