Ohemababy:

Ohemababy:
July mamas
37weeks and am starting to feel like the way I do when my period wants to start. Is this a sign?

I doubt anything can happen at 37weeks though. Should be 38 weeks on Wednesday. According to LMP

My son's own I dont really remember how it started.

If labor start 37wks for me, na happiness go follow am. I'll help the labor self. Next week Sunday I'm buying my native pineapple �and dates, is 400naira.

My son came 37wks, weighing 3kg. So anything can happen. Going to market on Friday to buy hospital things, essential baby things

thejourney200:


At age 4, she needs so much of play as well. When does she play if ever?

Saturday, Sunday and when we finish teaching around 3
If she goes to school, classes starts around 8:15, she dismiss around 3 baa.
So we teach from 9-3. Friday 9-1pm and my antenatal days/scan day is free day

So she still play so much and cook sand too.

Seyibusayo:
You are a good parent who knows what is best for her child. Good you set the priorities right for your child. I am a teacher, and I wonder why parents of preschoolers put those small children under unnecessary pressure

Preschool is different, I work according to age. Also thanks to mummy Zaynie chart and her teacher thread. I always ask my daughter what happened in school anytime she comes back. Sometimes when I don't understand what she's saying, I ask her teacher the next day in school.

The only time I teach my DD when school was open was her assignment, I kukuma no get strength. Make school just resume, her brother is joining her lasan.
Rona brought out the teacher in me.

Anything that works for any parents is non of my biz. I believe they're doing their own best in their own way.

It's a great idea, I was thinking along this line few weeks ago but just hesitating to mention it.

There are so much to talk about and learn concerning babe and mamas welfare.

How to care for baby navel
Nappy rashes
Episiotomy
Body after baby( gain our shape back)
Taking care of CSECTION incisions
Sit baths
Breastfeeding and lots more.


Many first time mums freaks out when faced with some of these stuffs that can easily be managed.

Thank you for this.

Especially PPID, it's hardly discussed during antenatal classes. All the matron or nurses talk about is EBF and cleaning of tips.

I went through PPID with my first, I always cry over any tiny little things, I watched my daughter cry, their uncontrollable cries. Nobody was there with me. My aunt that came for ọmụgwọ went to visit her sister and slept over there for 2days, hubby travelled. I had fever that week.

I cried when bm wasn't flowing well, she was 2m then, hubby wasn't helping out, he was busy singing EBF to my ear. I felt like a failure. I finally bought milk which her Royal highness rejected. Dunno how I overcomed it but I did.
******************

When my brother was sick, I saw a woman that was in the hospital with her newborn. She was talking to her self. Her baby was crying but she was lost in self discussion. It was her sister who was with her that tapped her when she came in and handed over the baby to her. She looked at him and started crying.
According to her sister, her husband died 2wks after she gave birth, it affected her psychological. The normal African moonlight tales of the woman killing him brouhaha. So she's staying with her parents but they took her to the hospital when it was much.
**********
Postpartum depression is real.
It includes :

* Depressed mood or severe mood swings
* Excessive crying
* Difficulty bonding with your baby
* Withdrawing from family and friends
* Loss of appetite or eating much more than usual
* Inability to sleep (insomnia) or sleeping too much
* Overwhelming fatigue or loss of energy
* Reduced interest and pleasure in activities you used to enjoy
* Intense irritability and anger
* Fear that you're not a good mother
* Feelings of worthlessness, shame, guilt or inadequacy
* Diminished ability to think clearly, concentrate or make decisions
* Severe anxiety and panic attacks
* Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby
* Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide

Rice with the left over bony chicken and friend shaki

The chicken was spoilt already...after the pics, I gave to a hungry dog .
The shaking was tasting somehow...I've been warming everyday for 4 days
The rice was just an error. Na local rice with few stones. I didn't allow it cook well before mixing my veggies, I was scared it will turn tuwo.

Las Las ehn, I still enjoy my food

Love your honesty. Your rice � is fine, doesn't look like local rice �.

Once in a while, we should discuss/talk about Jaundice in babies, preterm, how to take care of babies, how to take care of ourselves before/after childbirth, cleaning of the tips, inverted tips, PPID (postpartum depression), breast-feeding etc

What happened to prayer Monday, bumpy Tuesday, thread cuties Thursday even talking about our most embarrassing day while pregnant etc.

It'll make the thread lively too

Awesomemama:


Mama you're doing well o
Preschool teachers are really trying
Getting ds to sit and focus is not an easy job, altho he's always enthusiastic when he sees me bring his book and keeps disturbing me when he wants to write.
But I must say it's not easy, I try sooo hard not to spank him cause atimes it seems like hes just tempting me.. lol

He can count 1-30 and a-z with few mistakes
Identify some colours, animals and some other things
But you see to write, it always ends in tears. Just to follow dotted lines, tell him to do something and he does what he likes. I'm I pushing him too hard? Cause I think that's what they ought to be doing in school now as it's part of the work they send in their WhatsApp group. He 2.6years

I've abandoned writing for almost 2weeks now, I'll appreciate any tip that can help us do better.

Awwn, he's even doing well for his age. When my DD was that age, all we can write was 1-10 with 1 in America, 2 in Jamaica and 5/6 facing back. I didn't bother oo, we still high-five ✋ like that.
All I was interested in was her communication skills, number recognition, basic things like keeping brush/dirty clothes well, saying thank you after eating etc.
She repeated KG1, I wasn't even bothered.

Zaynie will know better, I'm not a preschool teacher.

zimunachimdi:

The teacher is not in town but I called the head teacher and she told me she will look for it and get back to me.

I was also planning on changing them school after this session before covid-19 show face cos I think academically they were performing below standard.
The head teacher offered to take them on lessons. Will discuss with hubs to see how far.

As for the WhatsApp group,No teaching is going on there...You go fear local school na

Is well. I'm not really in support of private lessons especially the one that involves the child going over to the teacher's house. Not in this covid-19 brouhaha.

All the best sis

zimunachimdi:


Thanks for this sis. God bless you.
I got his textbook few months ago from his school, I will probably ask for their curriculum now. I will promise myself to stop using cane,though it is frustrating cos he lacks attention.
God bless you real good Nwanne m.
Our princess is doing well. My warmest greetings to your Family

School won't give you the curriculum, I got mine from her teacher cos I'm close to her and have taught her daughter in grade 5. Join the school online WhatsApp group, download the videos. Call his teacher when is hard for you, he/she will guide you on how to get it right.
When he counts from 1-9
10 should be 1 and 0 -----10
1 and 1 ------ 11 etc
2 and 0 -------- 20

When he forget anyone, tell him. When he forgets again, tell him to start from the beginning.
After breakfast, tell him lesson time and no play play is allowed.

We learn from 9-12. I'll prepare lunch but give her what to write to keep her busy, eat around 1:30. Start from 2-3pm.

Bilqees01:
Please, sweet mamas, do you give your babies only nutribom or you added baby milk to it? If yes, which milk did you add?

I didn’t add milk, maybe cos my boy don't like anything milk in his cereals even pap and custard. He prefer it plain

ojantelle:


Thank God for you. It is well

Thanks

bimberry1307:

Pele teamie, it is well. Just try and rest well. Since the baby is fine and cervix is closed too, there's nothing to worry about but watch what you eat. Sorry dear.

Thanks mama. Maybe my system rejected the food

cutiereborn:

It is well with you and baby. Baby will definitely come at God's appointed time.

Thanks dear

zimunachimdi:

It will end in praise Nwanne m.

Thanks
Concerning what you wrote in your last update.
Every child is different, continue teaching your son, he'll pick up. Have you ever seen someone that can't count 1-100
My 2yrs boy can't say mummy yet, he can say take, pine(fine), 1,and he just started saying daddy this month. I'm not bothered, he'll pick up when he's ready. So don't disturb Adanne biko, she can even scatter 1-10

My 4yrs old daughter is totally different, her love for book eh. Sometimes she'll arrange empty chairs, bring cane, books and pencil and act like a teacher.
I got their curriculum from the school and I'm using it to teach her. She knows what is even and odd numbers, Nigerian Flag, colours, Transportation, One-Ten(with correct spelling), count 1-100, shapes, vowels, two lettered words(she refused to learn it with sound) etc.

Everyday, we repeat what we learnt before. I give her example, I high-five ✋ her, I promise her things, sometimes I beat with hands when the light comes and she wants to watch cartoon or maybe when she sees her father and want to do stubborn head. I don't use cane while teaching cos I don't know how to flog age appropriate

It can be stressful but the end result is wonderful.
I hail preschool teachers, they're the real mvp

koyabride:
Good afternoon mamas.
How is the ministry going.
Team August we are getting there gradually.
Please o mamas, i did scan today and was told my baby is 2.3kg at 33weeks. Please i hope the baby wont be too big i no want tears biko

My DD weighed 3.78kg, I had no tear
My DS weighed 3kg, I had tear
The stitches even broke. I wasn't restitched tho, healed on its own

Yesterday I wasn't feeling great, I kept having tightening of the stomach, I bet is not braxton hicks. It comes, goes, comes again and finally it stopped.
Last night I drank cornflakes with my children, I didn't take much although I made it for myself but they won't allow me to shine. In the night, the tightening worsened, stomach pain, headache and nausea. I kept turning from one side to another but yet I wasn't comfortable. I rushed to the bathroom, vomiting and pooping at the same time. The vomit has a very very bitter taste, when I tried forcing out the vomit, I felt something come out from my HP, I checked it was clear, large amount of MP, I started crying and begged baby to please wait till next month cos we're just 34weeks gone. I drank 5 satchel water at a go, dunno how I did it but I did it.
Went for scan, was told baby is fine, cervix closed. Doc told me is probably what I ate that caused it. I still feel weak tho but I know it'll end in praise.

mommatriplets:


what of a baby being given both formular and breast milk, should water still be given to the baby?

Yes, as far as there's formula

irunoboo:

Lisa001:
I

Mothers pls is this right?I gave birth to him don't I have a say over him?is it true too much of breast will spoil the child as she claims?pls I need your advice

Just read this on family section but not the same handle. Are you the same person with the moniker(Tracy) that posted it on family section or trolling?
Well, when it comes to family matters, I hardly give advice.
You know what is best for your child tho. Breast milk is good for your child.

Please what about the breast milk cos I heard it has enough water in it.

Breast milk has enough water but since formula is introduced, water must be introduced too to avoid constipation
