@ mydreams25, according 2 d professionals, use tiny toothpaste as tiny as a grain of rice. So even if swallowed no harm done. Brush 2wce daily, last tin @ night n after d 1st meal in d mrn (workers n schl children no fit do dis one). In fact we told we r not spose 2 rinse d mouth after brushing so d fluoride can work in d mouth. Once a child start having teeth, get an age appropriate brush. Still trying 2 get use 2 brushing dd teeth @ night.

my baby is 6 months, has 2 teeth; I use ordinary water with washcloth to clean his mouth n tongue. Does he need toothbrush n toothpaste yet? TIA ma'am

Weldone for d great job u'r doing, pls add me to d whatsapp grp. 08075522916 thanks in advance

I doubt if you can still use the highchair for your almost 2years child cos she will likely be trying to climb down when you put her Der. I stopped using mine for my daughter around 18months. Just buy and keep for new baby.

mum Sophie pls hw much did u get urs?

Ok.

But is it safe in first trimester?

Team April, pls put my name for una book of remembrance. Am praying to port. Team May, don't remove my name oo.

My legs are so heavy now. Was eyeing the calender today and talking to it for month end to reach kia kia while also trying hard to finish my task for the month and prepare report before last week in April.

Was told to be eating a lot of cucumber and carrot to reduce the swollen legs, is this true? Can't walk well. Walking worsen the leg condition.

Pls how do I reduce my swollen legs aside the advise I was given above?

Make una respond ooo I beg.

Swollen legs can be very uncomfortable, sorry mummy twins. Don't stand for too long, don't sit for too long, try n walk more (as appropriate for ur trimester o), drink even more water, reduce salt n seasoning intake. I believe all these wl help too. Pele, it wl end well by God's grace. It's all going to be worth it soon, especially since u got served double portion of the beautiful blessing

mummyife:
@izzystevens congratulations...God bless your Lo
@limsycutey pls did u checked ur Lo gender at 14wks..was it with the normal 2d scan or 3d scan.
pls mama can i know the sex of my baby at 16wks..i want to do little shopping this wednesday as my work doesnt give me tym at all..i work on saturday as well.
pls how much is this 3D scan and where can i do it around ojodu berger axis or around surulere? ..

yes u can, we were told our baby's gender @ at 16wks too. Even though we didn't plan to check then, I only went for a routine scan when d sonographer told me to look nau dt it Ws staring at me on d screen. Lol n it Ws d same gender they saw evrytime after that n it was correct. N when he came out, d kinni no be small o maybe dats Y it Ws so glaring that early lol *jst kidding* bt I believe if LO is in a favorable position, there won't be error

mummy2be:

pjthatcher:
if she is tolerating nan 1 why do u want to change. I know most milk do have 0-6 month and then 6-12 month . I'll suggest u wait till your baby is 6 month before changing to follow up milk

pls which is the follow up milk for Nan1? My baby is 6 months old, EBFed, we'r abt to start eating so I want to get formula to complement his meals. I know Nan1 is 0-6 months. Suggestions, pls? TIA

Teegali, ur story got me really emotional. It's well with u sis. Ur joy shall be permanent ds time around (n many more to come) by God's grace, no more loss in ur life. Ameen. I dnt know y our old parents are always after carrying new baby to their home town for omugwo/dedication or whatever forgetting to put d health condition n wellbeing of d baby into consideration. Y wld sumbody insist on making u travel long distance wt a newborn baby dt wasn't really active n needed all d rest n immediate medical attention he cld get like simplebukky said, it always helps to have proper support n understanding frm ur dh or else everybody go jus siddon for ur neck like say dem go fit love ur own pikin more than u I know it's difficult bt sm1 has to put down her feet on ds issues to avoid stories o, if e happen finish na sorry dem go tell u. Sorry won't be any of our portion inshaAllaah na to dey share in one another's joy. Amin

Goodmorning mamas! Pls mamas dat are using cyclogest pessaries pls how do u use it? I used it for d first time yesterday and it was all messy and I don't tink any entered me. Pls I await ur kind response.

I used Cyclogest pessaries. Make sure to always store it in d fridge or anyhow u can keep it cold/firm, it won't melt dt way. U know it's kinda creamy, like she butter so when d temp gets warm, it becomes runny n it won,t go anywhere dat way.

Deezou:

Cc: ozycy

it was d first brand of diaper I used for my baby(included it in my hospital list) i'd say it's good though my baby only used 1 pack (11pcs) cos we already bought Prince n Princess n were gifted plenty plenty diapers of different brands. Luckily my baby has never had a single rash n he's 5 months now. I think it's good.

sayoddy:
UmmTwins2 I wanted to fine you for delayed bs but with this sweet one, you're hereby discharged and acquitted by grace o. When dh read it, the only lesson he learnt is not to offer me his hand during labour.

Anak123 to God be the glory o. You can google every info you need on how to take care of him but the only thing I know is the skin to skin. Either you or dh and the baby shouldn't wear anything then carry or back him so there will be skin contact at all time.

lol at ur dh. Na only madam zaynie fit fine me o n I can see she's cool like that

sayoberry:

Ummtwins2 what a wonderful birth story, as if a was there with you. God bless your lo

Ameen. N urs too mama

Anak123:
Doc doesn't work on saturdays so I first saw a nurse, who started taking me up to be admitted immediately, saw a much younger doc on the way n she asked us to go back down so my vitals could be taken,, ohhh ny God, I almost ate her up, she was able to calm me down sha, very nice n efficient lady. I was not feeling my baby move although I dint say anything, we were sent for a scan, everything was ok except low fluid.


Earlier my doc had asked on phone if I took the steroid injections prescribed, thank God I did. Got admitted. All this while my doc was communicating with them on phone. Was prepared for surgery n by 8 my doc came around. By 9 went in., given meds n was numb from waist down, heard when she said she saw the baby's head, saw my baby....

They had to remove three fibroids blocking the way of delivery, I started bleeding.....bought blood already so dat was covered.

My boy came out on the 27th of February my dad's birthday, mom' is 1st, mine 2nd.

He came out at 33 weeks, weighing 2.1kg, dint need to b incubated, at a point they suspected jaundice, but tested negative, my baby is a great over comer, he fought the nasty fibroids for space n won, he fought high bp n won, he fought prem contractions n won. I love him so much n I thank God for gifting him with him.


Thank u all so much for being with me, wonderful people. May God grant you all your hearts desire.



Pls any advice about caring for preemies are very much welcome. Hoping to be discharged from hospital tomorrow. Hugs n kisses

n he'll continue to be an overcomer in life. Ameen. Congrats once again. Kisses to him

Happy belated birthday Senior mama Modath continue to grow in wisdom, IN advance mama Zaynie and all March Mamas. Wishing you all a glorious birthday in advance

Sweet BS UmmTwins since last year, the memory is evergreen, Allahu Akbar! God's blessings upon your LO. Everytime I read a Bs, I picture myself in the scene and arggghhh.. Dear God, please make it easy for everyone one of us. Amen!

Sometimes, I'd pinch myself to test my resistance level , use bare hands to lift hot pot, plenty pain tests I do behind closed doors . My mum finally bursted my bubbles when she said 'Iya eni o ki n bani debe (meaning your mama no go follow you enter labor room),arrgghhh! My own padi just broke my heart!

Mamas owing Bs please come and share o, these stories has been one of my many inspirations on this journey, I know if you all can do it, I Can also do it!

Ameen to all ur prayers. It's a memory one can never forget even though God makes us *forget* enough to want to do it again n again. N of course, u can n wl do it soon inshaAllaah. Being d baby of d house, mommy's n daddy's girl, my sisters used to tease me dt my future husband go hear whien when time comes for me to carry belle, born pikin bt they didn't even hear dt I Ws pregnant until after I deliverd n we announced to them even my MIL, they were all shocked. When scan showed breech n I Ws scared of hw d baby wl come out, my MW said "na God know how e put am, e know how e go comot am. No be en hse be dt. patapata CS" dt I shldnt worry o so it wld nt affect my B.P. Dat bt she'll give me a reminder like she always give her patients dt " no be as e take enter e go take come out o. When e dey enter u dey smile bt when e reach to comot.... " inshaAllaah we'll read ur BS too, very soon n all other bumping mamas too. All d ATC mamas too wl soon experience all d "down below on fire, pooing of life" feeling by God's grace. It's well wt us all

'morning beautiful mamas. Vigilante mamas, hw work? May God almighty reward all our labour. Congrats Ramcie. God bless our fresh baby boy. Here's part 2 of my BSt:
The pain became very intense n constant that I begged d MW if she could remove d drip n let me rest for awhile, she said for wia? In fact, I almost told her to remove d thing n let me go home, I no wan born again lol I started praying; (for my current situation, my unborn baby, n my husband) n wld bang on d wall when I cldn't hold off, gripping d drip stand very tight. I just needed smthing, anything to grab. DH was standing there, pitying me. He gave me his hand dt I shldnt wound myself gripping d drip stand do tightly bt d MW told him he's OYO o if I break his hand everywhere especially my down below(guess it Ws d cervix) Ws so on fire I thought I Ws going crazy. On d bed there I started wondering "How could anyone ever do THIS 2,3,4 times Impossicant." bt believe me mamas, I started craving another baby 2wks postpartum o Crazy, right? God is wonderful. Later I told d MW I wanted to poo, she said OK, I shld come down frm d bed n come go poo, that they have a place for that (delivery room) My body felt so heavy frm d waist down dt I cldn't lift my legs. I begged her to let my DH carry me nau, she said no. He sha supported me a little so I stood up n went to d supposed *pooing room* At sm point in d delivery, d pain became less intense n I told d MW I dnt even know if I want to poo again. She checked my hand n discovered d drip passage Ws blocked so she removed it n did it again n d action resumed. I asked if they cldn't give me more pillows ni cos it Ws like d baby n everything else in my belly Ws pushed up towards my throat. I started gripping things n banging wall again, just cldn't lie still on my back anymore. It Ws like my down below Ws on fire n Ws going to burst n I cldn't stop it. DH Ws begging me to pls hold my hand still n lie flat on my back so d drip wl nt block n d MW wld start d thing all over again. In my mind I said "u no know anything, na me know how e dey do me"" it Ws after we got home he told me that I actually said it out loud. I Ws surprised. The urge to poo came again n d MW told me to go on n poo. I pushed thinking I Ws pooing; (bt DH told me later at home dt I didn't poo anything at all in d hospital o) guess dt Ws d head. Almost immediately, I felt d urge to poo again, I held both of my thighs n pushed wt all my strength, (veins popping outta my neck, didn't even remember dt any kinni can tear I just cldn't hold myself) n d rest of d body flew out at abt 10:15a.m on 10:10:2015 I started saying "Alhamdulillah" repeatedly, so relieved I wasn't even in a hurry to look at my baby. In all, It took abt 2hrs frm active labour to delivery n I thought I Ws definitely going mad After a couple of minutes, d MW pressed my abdomen lightly n d placenta flew out too. DH told me later dt she put her hand inside me like d way they do when sorting ileya meat intestine lol bt me I didn't even feel it. Guess d place became so wide already n after birthing a whole baby, cldn't feel dt *small* hand like I didn't feel d placenta too when it came out. God is just great, me dt I almost screamed when I just got to d clinic n d MW checked me wt only fingers nt d whole hand o. Then she stitched me up cos I had a little tear. Went to see my baby n there he Ws, shining his eyes already. The most beautiful thing I had ever seen; still is that first sight filled me wt so much love dt I knew at that moment i'd take on d whole world for this beautiful tiny creature that instant I Ws ready to do anything to be d best I cld be for him n his pa. It's all so worth it

Wishing all preggies here n everywhere in s d world a smooth delivery wt very short labour inshaAllaah. That Ws my prayer when I Ws pregnant n I thank God it Ws granted. Happy wkend mamas. Bumping mamas, enjoy d little sleep u'r getting now o cos vigilante no be beans it's been 5 months n I haven't slept thru d whole night even though DH used to think d baby wld be too gentle cos he never woke me up at night during pregnancy, even his kicks were never dt strong dt I Ws always afraid smthing Ws wrong bt d doctor wld just smile n assure me everything Ws fine n nw i'm paying for those gentle kicks

OK. This is sooo long overdue but I no sabi owe gbese lol zaynie, ozycy, iffffffy, everfaithfulgod n my other former team mates #october2015 mamas, na my BS due I con pay so o hp i'll be pardoned. Vigilante for me na double shift full time I dey do especially for d 1st 2-3 months. My Prince is a real handful n we'r doing EBF bt Alhamdulillah he'll be 5 months on 10th.
Bumping mamas, abeg carry ur apoti Sidon o cos ds na long tori lol. Here it is:

[b][/b]The birth of Ifeoluwa Aramide Aderinola
My EDD according to my first scan was 24th October but subsequent scans thru out my pregnancy showed EDD btw 20th to 31st October. On Friday October 9th (exactly 37wks gestation) I had another scan to check d fetal position cos d previous one at 28wks showed baby was breech. The 37wksscan showed he had turned n was in cephalic presentation bt closed cervix n gave EDD as 31st October so I was wondering if my baby wldnt port to November (which wld be cool too being my birth month) but Oct wld be perfect being our wedding anniversary month lol I planned to see d midwife wt d scan report d nxt day Saturday.
I woke up to pee at abt 3:05a.m on Saturday bt was taking my sweet time as had become d norm lol. As I Ws maneuvering to sit up n dragging my nyansh on d bed, I felt smthing popped n plenty water gushed. Being a jjc I panicked n screamed "Honey my water has broken!" like in d movies lol despite all d time I spent reading abt pregnancy, delivery etc n wt 5 older sisters wey don born finish hang boot. DH scrambled up frm slp n ran after me to d bathroom. I sat on d toilet seat wt d water (tinged wt blood) still gushing out intermittently. Even wt d water coming out we didn't know hw soon baby wld come so we tried to go back to bed. I used a comfit pad dt I bought for hospital, na lie. It got soaked after just one gush. We didn't know what to use again so I sat on a folded thick towel. I tried going back to slp bt d intermittent gushing was disturbing n I didn't want to soak d bed si I sat up. DH took a shaving stick n helped shave my kinni as we'd been procrastinating over it since. As he Ws shaving, d intermittent gush continued n I started feeling irregular contractions. Later it became abt 5mins apart, smtimes 3mins. At abt 7:0a.m DH went to get me Always pad, recharge card for my BB subscription so I cld start updating my E-family (lol I never sabi) At abt 8:40a.m we left home to go see d MW. We didn't carry d hospital bag cos we didn't even know it Ws d real show yet. I used d pad n sat on a thick towel so as nt to soil d car seat as we went. When we got to d clinic arnd 8:45a.m I narrated everything to d MW. She told DH to go bring our hospital bag. I was still sitting at d reception wt d contractions coming off n on, nt dat painful. When he came back she gave him a list to go get Augumentin(i guess) n a couple other things. I stood up n was pacing, it Ws becoming serious. DH came back wt d items n a drip Ws set up for me; dt Ws when d show started....
Part II coming. Sorry mamas dt it's very very long o, I just felt it's only fair to be very detailed seeing as I been dey owe una since last year lol

feddy27:
Ahnie, you don't need '13' bras...lol. get disposable breast pads. Mommies to be, pls add that to your list. Very important and handy
