Let's talk about bathing babies with agbo (herb)
Some give their babies to drink too
According to yorubas it makes the baby strong kakaraka lol.
My mum said she didn't use it for any of her children so I shouldn't but me I don't mind o. But won't the baby be smelling the agbo?

Do people still use it for their babies? If you have your way will u use it for your baby?

Noo I cannot use herbs for my baby, I’m igbo and I’m not sure we have herbs for bathing or giving baby to drink but even if, me i cannot o before story will enter..

I was using Agnesia soap befor, my baby's skin was just drying out even though it kinder prevented rashes but the body was drying so much. I switched to sebamed, very nice soap but so expensive. I bought 2800 for just 1 tablet. Abi they cheated me?

I think agnesia soap isn’t supposed to be used everyday,I’m saying this bearing in mind that it’s meant to have same ingredients as the powder which is for heat rashes.. so it will be drying baby’s skin
No they didn’t cheat you ma’am

mzMerci:
Hi lovely mamas. Which size of diapers can I buy and how many? Which brand of baby soap is perfect or is our regular bath soap okay? Do I need to buy baby powder too?

You can’t use our regular bath soap for a baby, I normally use original sebamed range for my babies.. then for diaper i use Molfix from size 2
You can go to a baby shop and pick the one your mind goes with.. there’s johnsons,aveeno and a whole lot

Contractions keep coming. Was admitted and I was asked to go to bed. Couldn't sleep much though cos of Contractions. Next day(Sunday morning) Dr. Came

After a while the Dr. Came back and insisted that we proceed with the C.S. at this point I figured the man had already made up hi mind to proceed.

My baby was delivered exactly 8:02pm, in perfect condition weighing 3.38kg.

Felt alot of pain first few days but was discharged from the hospital 2 days after the delivery.

In all I give thanks to almighty God. My baby is strong and healthy. I am very fine and recovering well.

God has been faithful.

P:S I have not been lactating well. Any advice on how to boost my breast milk supply will be well appreciated.

Ignore all typos.

Congratulations to you ma’am

[quote author=LUGBE post=112470266]Yes madam,from 12 weeks a good scan facility can dictate that.




Wow, thank you

StarryV:
Your question isn't clear ma. You mean earlier than 20weeks or you mean from 20weeks?

Yes, earlier than 20 weeks.. someone told me she checked/knew hers at 14, I always thought it’s from 20 weeks you can check cos even google says 18-21

Can one know the sex of their baby earlier than 20 weeks?

Maybe she’s tongue tied

NeroPapas:
OK Una evening.. This is KingNeropapas aka DP, that is to say Daddy Phoenix ... I wan share our BS!!!

I for don nack una the tory but I see say plenty dust been raise for here and be like say no be right time, plus I've been doing daddy duties!
My wife's pregnancy journey was very smooth and stress free.. We TTC'd for a year and God answered us July last year. We registered under a scheme the moment we realised she was preggy. I chose the scheme cos private hospitals in Port Harcourt can really be expensive.
I didn't miss any ANC session with my wife.. I have the time so I could narrate all these stories better.
Let's fast forward to week 33 which was a bit scary cos wify had a high BP which was handled with few medications. We were given 2 EDDs, 15th and 18th April... We did more than 8 scans during pregnancy, that's because my wife works at an ultra sound center at a point, I had to caution her. Most of the scan said 15th, while two said 18th.
Sunday 10th of April started as a normal cool Sunday, the day started with BD which madam initiated , I have to give in cos una know na..!
By 2pm that day, We were in the sitting room watching TV.. I laid on the sofa, while madam sat pon di floor. She then stood up to get something from the bedroom, that was when she noticed water gush! She called me and I was like so what next? She said we wait! Ngwanu, we dey wait. I been don pack bag keep since. I then call my neighbour, a mother of 4 to come help check my wife, she came and said yes.. Water e yaff break. Madam don wear comfit pad and we dey wait. Could you all believe that after two hours, with the water still running at intervals, there's no contraction whatsoever. All other signs that were supposed to follow refuse to show up. Wify was still laidat.. I come turn doctor dey ask her.. How are you feeling now? She said nothing. Ha.. Nothing ke. Oya begin walk upandan na.. She did and still nothing. Wo after about an hour, making it wakati Meta (3 hours) that water haff broken.. I told her, we're going to the hospiru . We got there about 6pm. They confirmed water haff broke but service sorry cervix yaff not open. Ha, my village people, not today pls .. Well they monitored her all through the night, Baby's heartbeat was fine and she was fine too.. They said its normal in FTMs for water to break and contractions could start 12-18 hours later.
24hrs has passed still nothing. We were then sent for scan at about 10am.. The result showed baby was 39weeks old that day with EDD being 18th April. But the woman said the baby has to come out within the next 48hrs. Ok kila mase bayi? What's next? The doctor said we wait till night that if no show, they'll induce her.
So I stepped out to stroll while wify went back to her bed. Let's than 30mins,i came back to the labor ward, my wife is already on oxygen and drip.. Ha edakun, wazall this? They said the Baby's heartbeat is fainting abi going up! Ejo, pardin?? Don't let me faint here!! My wife has never been sick or admitted in her almost 3 decades of existence.. So the whole oxygen thing traumatised her. I calmed her and told her its just oxygen and its for her and the baby.. I now asked, didn't we just do a scan and everything is fine?? Why on earth is the Baby's heartbeat going up.. to where? At this point, I was scared too but didn't show it. My wife was on drip cos she was weak at this point. My younger brother called me and I narrated everything to him.. That's when he gingered that we shouldn't wait till midnight for the inducement. I then met the doctor and spoke to him calmly. He said well, CS is the next thing that if we wait till that midnight, something could go wrong.. Ha.. Ejo sir, Eni soribu . He said if they induce her, it may not work so well will still come to the CS.
I say ese sir.. Leave inducement out of this.. Let's go straight to CS.. That's how my wife was prepared for it!
At exactly 6pm, 11th April, 2022, Our CP.. Crown Prince was brought out of the operation room .. I didn't know how to feel. He greeted me cry.. I said welcome son !
Ejo, Where's my wife?? After about Anada 15 minutes, I was called to come and assist to carry my wife out of the operation room. Stepping in, I saw my beautiful wife smile at me. I kissed her pon di forehead .... Chai, see love in the theater .
My boy weighed 3.5kg and 50cm tall. We left the clinic after 3days...with baby, mother and daddy doing Fantabulous
All Glory to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who saw us through the journey.. May His name alone be Praised... Amin
Thank you for reading our BS.. LOVE YOU ALL

May God answer every woman and every family seeking a child or children. For all preggy moms.. You Shall carry to full term and there shall be no loss... The Bible said.. None shall cast their young. We shall not cast our young in Jesus name.

Aww congratulations Daddy
