Thank you all for the kind advises. She saw this post and has learnt.

It was like i was too scared of everything or kinda over protecting the boy but you know mothers and their love for their first child... Make this boy start walking so i can flex him more.


But one more question? Is it okay to carry the baby on my laps while using my arms to support and make him rest.

I go with you

Nah, all is fair in war.

Streetgirl means, she wasn’t well brought up and thats indirectly calling her parents out.

Babies with lots of hair mostly experience this. It's sweat, mixed with soap residue. Always make sure you rinse out his hair totally during bath.

You might also consider using baby shampoo instead of Normal soap for washing his hair.

Also, limit the number of times you use soap/shampoo in a week. Instead of everyday, use shampoo once a week, then other days, just wash the hair with only water.

And to comb out the flakes, soak the affected part with enough oil, leave for a while, then gently comb it out. When you've finally gotten rid of the flaky scalp, stop using too much oil on the hair.

mzMerci:
Hi mama.. it’s just like dandruff. Cradle cap is due to dry scalp. Just apply oil and comb gently. It’ll peel off over time

TOHHAN:

imsettled2:


Thank you ma for checking up on me.

After hanging legs for 2weeks in the hospital (as I stated in my last post) the drainage stopped, after 2 days I saw blood but it was just a wipe. Went for scan the following day, scan said that the lead twin T1 had no heart activity but T2 was fine.
That night I started having contractions before I knew what was happening I expelled parts of T1 and the membrane of T2 broke, all the liquor drained out that night.
I was booked for evacuation the next day. That was how I lost both of them
I am back to square one after waiting for so long, I don't even know where to start from. I thought everything abt this TTC would have ended this year.

Sabi Mama's pls if there's anything I can do now to help me take in again pls let me know.

Rota is very expensive. In my Hospital then, mothers were required to officially request for it one week in advance. That was 2020. Can't remember the exact cost. Whether 9k or 19k. If you don't mention it, the nurses won't mention it either. Its not compulsory but if one has the funds, its good to take it.

TiffanyJ:

Sis, that Rota vaccine isn't free o. There's a cost to it that's why most govt hospital don't administer it. If am not lying, it costs about 5k if not more.
When I had my first baby in 2019, some Mama's discussed it that's when I first heard that it's not free in Most Nigerian hospitals. When my baby wasn't given, I didn't freak out because I already heard about it on this thread.
Go to the new born babies thread, I'm sure your question will be properly answered.

shiller:


Maybe they don't have the Rota that's why dey didn't tick,check how many vaccine that was given when u were there..

Again @ 10weeks u can still take Rota ..

Or you kukuma go bk nd tell them

Sassy256:

The nurses are in the best position to answer you. To set your mind at ease, please return to them and ask. Waiting for later might not be good to avoid confusion.

Vicktoyy:
Hello house please what can I use to boost my pcv level I'm 17weeks plus and I was told is low. Thanks

Mama's Abeg I need help. I need suggestions on good diapers.

PAMPERS: it has to be the South African one or else baby has rashes.
HUGGIES (baby reacts with rashes)
MOLFIX( I don't understand what they are producing anymore. My sis in-law complains the diaper is always shifting to the side thereby her baby spilling poo. She bought 3packs and it's the same issue with all of them).

Pls I need a good diaper we can easily get that is effective....Forget all these big names..

Thank you.

Birth story!!!

I had my first myomectomy at 20. They were 9 fibroids and the biggest was pedunculated, cystic and subserous which made the surgery of importance. My doctors counseled me to start planning pregnancy and all. Lol, I was a virgin prior to my surgery and that made me lose it. Yet, no pregnancy. About 2 years after (I was now single), I started having very heavy periods so I went for a scan which revealed fibroids were back. I cried my eyes out, called my mum and she encouraged me. I decided to bear with the symptoms. My God! Every menstruation was a mad cycle. I had to get thick always pad and I kid you not, I used at least 4 packs of pad every cycle. I always got stained even with that “special” brand. During this period, I met my husband.
I had to see a doctor who is an O&G prof at UITH (she’s such a blessing to me. Her hospital is Gracevid hospital, agbadam, ilorin for those who need it. She is a fertility specialist too). Prof examined me, placed me on some drugs to reduce the rate at which I was bleeding and asked me to do scan and HSG. HSG was a very painful procedure and I weeped while it was done. Result came and said I had multiple fibroids which had distorted my uterus and my right Fallopian tube could not be visualized. My husband (then bf) was worried but encouraged me. I went to prof and she said she would not carry out any surgery on me till I was going to get married. This was because my endometrium was breached in the last surgery and it could have effect on fertility. Prof counseled me not to rush into marriage just cos of what I was going through. I listened but I knew I had my own husband already (which was my bf)
Few months later, my bf proposed and I informed prof. She asked me multiple questions to be sure I was getting married for the right reasons. She planned my surgery and I had 52 fibroids removed. Yes, 52!
I healed well afterwards, she placed me on a dose of leuprolide injection (about 35k per dose) to slow down regrowth. I started trying to get pregnant but no show. I went to prof and she told me to do scan, HSG and sono. Scan and HSG showed I had a fibroid seedling while sono revealed I had twin follicles which were about to ovulate. Those twin eggs ended as menses.
Prof encouraged me and asked if I talk to God. I told her I do and she told me to go and pray like I’ve never done. I prayed and I dreamt.
In the dream, I was on my period holding my special pad to go and change. My pastor’s wife met me on the way and asked why I was holding pad when I should be pregnant. I started crying in the dream and I woke up. I told my husband, called my mum and my pastors. We started praying cos it was a sign I was fighting a battle. My husband stood by me through it all. Few months later, my husband (who doesn’t dream) woke up and told me he dreamt I was fighting a very big snake, it had wrapped me up and I was struggling with it. He picked a cutlass, killed the snake, cut it into pieces and cooked it to eat. That week, my mum also dreamt that someone accosted her for not inviting her to my wedding after which she apologized to her. I knew God had won the war.
2 weeks after, my husband dreamt I did a pt and it was positive. Omo, I did a pt the following week and it was positive. For the first time in my 26yrs of life, I got pregnant! I cried, thanked God and begged Him to perfect everything.
At 20weeks, I started spotting at work and rushed for a scan which revealed threatened miscarriage. I was placed on bed rest and it was discovered I had pregnancy induced hypertension so I was placed on daily vasoprin 75mg to prevent pre eclampsia. It worked perfectly. Prof told me I would deliver via elective CS cos my uterus had too many scars for labour. At 34 weeks, I started contracting and rushed to the hospital. I had a fibroid which was degenerating and that was stimulating contractions. I was admitted and placed on drugs. Thankfully, it stopped. I started contracting again a day to my scheduled surgery, so prof wheeled me in for an emergency CS. God blessed me with my own child. He wiped my tears. He gave me a son who looks so much like my husband. God changed my name and now I’m called a mummy. Just take a minute to thank God for me.

BS! BS!! BS!!!

Glory be to Almighty God in the highest for He has shown me His goodness and kindness.

My LMP was August 17th( my late dad's anniversary) so I didn't really put mind in pregnancy matter even though I had kept track of my ovulation, menstruation and even hormonal imbalance but I remembered to write it down.

Fast forward to a week after, I had pile (jedijedi) and as a Yoruba girl that I am now I already bought agbo to take and also while carrying out fertility tests, it was discovered I had infection and was also about treating it too but for whatever reason my spirit just kept delaying the treatments.


This journey has been eventful and interesting and a lot learnt but vigilante no be my mate so I may go ghost mood for a while. Thanks for the long read and to everyone who has made this journey bearable. May the Almighty God bless every woman with the fruit of the womb very soon in Jesus name and happy waddling to our preggy and beautiful mamas.
Kindly forgive my typos please.

See you all soon in Jesus name!!!
