Mummies I have a few questions, thanks in addy for the answers...
1. Is it compulsory to buy a big water flask? I'm asking because I have 2 small ones (1ltr & 820ml) and the hotness lasts for more than 24hrs either water or pap. I also heard some general hospitals have it in their list but mine doesn't so I don't know how important buying a bigger one would be.

2. Is it compulsory to buy Eucalyptus Oil (SilverBird) and how different is its use from Mentholatum?

3. What does hospitals use cotton wool for? Asking because I bought a small one (150) as my hospital didn't specify size) and I watched videos of people packing their delivery bags packing gigantic cotton wool of 2000 naira or more

4. What kind of outfit can be used as baby's first outfit after birth cos my hospital wrote Assorted Baby wear (I still don't get that kind of assorted like mixture of liver, intestines and roundabout )

5. How heavy or light should one pack to the hospital as I've watched different videos of people packing their delivery bags and carrying the biggest box size to the hospital (like it's a wedding sumtin).. Please share experiences of the kinds of bags you used to take your things to the hospital especially for people who don't have cars like myself or whose labour might not occur in the night before one will look like someone who wants to go and live in the hospital.

6. When getting items on the hospital list like comfit, spirit etc, do I still need to get extra for home use or I will comeback home with whatever is left of the number the hospital asked me to bring?

7. Any reviews on Lebrace Diapers? How good and comfy is it?

Help a FTM

You seem to like rationing than comfort o.

7. For the comfit, you will still need to get more than the hospital prescribed to buy. That is just for hospital use.

6.Get spirit the normal moko size.

5. Your hospital packing should be dependent on what you think you need. However I suggest you pack comfortably so you won't be going up and down or buying at expensive rate at the hospital, the things you should have packed.

4. You should welcome your child with something worthy. That's what they mean with assorted.

3. Getting the bigger size can be cost effective. You get to pack back home too.

2. Is eucalyptus on your list. If not, leave it out then.

1. 2 water flask is extra load, but since you have them already, it's cost effective for you. However a bigger 1 Maximizes utility, and minimizes space use.

My Birth Story
I had my first baby April 2017,after ttc , it took me four years+ to conceive again, after a missed miscarriage at 7weeks.
This pregnancy was different eh, morning sickness showed me pepper but In all I thank God it ended in praise. approaching my edd my doctor said I should choose date for my elective CS because of previous SCAR, I choose FEB 9TH But on the 31st of January I started having contractions I timed it. it was 10 to 15 minutes apart. On the 1st of FEB WE headed to the hospital , I was checked the Dr said I'm 4cm by 6am the next day I was 6cm but the refused to hasten labour reason been I had previous SCAR and I have been booked for CS , they left me unattended to because I refuse to do CS I was progressing very well but still they wanted to tear me up. my hubby pited me because I was wallowing in pains when contraction came and so he signed consent form,i was wheeled to the theater and they brought out my damsel. I don't pray for my enemy to use that hospital. all the care about is money with VERY POOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

Congratulations sis.
Thank God you and baby are safe.
But you took a risk because you could have had a ruptured uterus while contracting since your doctor advised CS.
All the same, thank God for safe delivery.

Good evening mamas.

Please who has experienced grade 3 placenta maturity at week 32 or earlier?

I went on google and some of what I found out are scary.

Assorted in a matron's language is fine fine clothes actually, and it is usually sleep suit and body suits in different colors and designs.

Someone shade more light on this too…I saw grade 3 placenta at week 36 scan and quite worried…..does it mean the placenta is weak….is it linked to placenta abruption…..do one need to monitor anything

Big cotton wools are actually cost effective. The large size I got in 2019 for my child delivery, is still very much available. Actually I just took from it to cleanse my face. I actually doubt the hospital taking your things. Factly, they may not even touch your cotton wool or savlon.

Yours is even 36 weeks already which is close. I read that it should be at grade 3 at 37 weeks.
Reading something like preterm birth, placenta abruption, stillbirth.

I reject it in Jesus name, I just want to hear from people that have gone through it successfully before.

Congratulations Mama.
Most times we are quick to think hospitals care about money without recourse to the mother's wellbeing.

What happened to you was pretty risky. Without a CTG,you stand more at risk as the Dr will have to manually measure how your womb is contracting and relaxing.

You stood a high risk of uterine rupture, which is a major cause of concern.

They were not after your money,but after your health. You can take out time to read up more about it, and you may ask questions about this and I will try to answer to the best of my abilities.

Please don't risk this again. If the money you have can save your life, and ease you comfort, then by all means go for spending it, if you have.

Congratulations again, and may you heal well.

Take your mind off it. At 36 weeks +, it is quite okay and normal. Provided baby is okay, developing well and getting enough nutrition through the placenta. Everything is okay.

I went on google and some of what I found out are scary.

Most times, based on the mother's medical health history, and the fetal wellbeing, it is not a cause for concern if baby is doing well.

However, your doctor may need to monitor and evaluate both yourself and the baby constantly. You May also be induced by 37-38 weeks for the nutritional well being and safety of baby and you.

Please speak more with your Dr.
