Please I wld aprc8 any suggestions.

Skimpychick,Don't worry,the thread ll not die,more mum's ll move from the TTC thread to here by 2014 .


Simababe,sorry for the nausea feeling, you can chew on crackers,gums or lick lemon sweets.I normally chew on kilishi to manage my own nausea.

Thanks for all the replies to my qstn. Na cheap article they worry me. Planned to go to onitsha main market where I can shop at a cheaper rate though its a bit far but closer compared to other big markets. Make I dey thinkam.
@Simababe sorry dear its one of the enjoyments in prgnancy. I didn't experience it sha but I really felt like am not myself But the good tin is that u ll get over it soon

Fo@byvan tnks for ur quick response. Buh my doctor gave me a tablet "loratadine" and after reading the reviews on line it says not to be used by pregnant women. What should I do.

Heaves
Its been like forever in here
Congrats to all the new mommies, the old ones, may God grant us everything to care for them, the awaiting mumsN don't worry, the Lord is your strength and to the ones looking upto God, your testimonies shall come soon.
Just checking on y'all mummies. My son is the sweetest that has ever happened to me, one playful youngman, he has practically turned me his playmates, makes me run around the house chasing him, I Bless God for such a wonderful boy. He's a year plus and acting like he's 5 *raises eyebrow*
God bless them all for us
Peace out

Simbabe, u are welcome. I managed mine with minty sweets, peppery food and bita kola. It do pass 4 some ppl. Even at 33wks , i still feel it.

Thank you all for the messages.

Esmeralda/fnor. Who is with the baton? It will be easy for every other person lagbara Olohun.
All ye March mums. I think u people are the most. We should be having a birth story everyday.

Simbaby. One thing i know is that morning sickness doesn't kill. Infact, i learnt the more the severity, the lesser the chances of miscarriage. So just hang in there for like 10weeks more. You will be fine.

@busolayemi welcome, u are gud to go with folic acid oR better still pregnacare, but I think u should see ur doc for a scan to @ least knw how ur baby is doing.

This thread is dry now, where r all d moma in d house? Guess they've all gone for xmas shopping

Hello people, ave being follwing this thread for a while and longing for a time when I will be an expectant mother too. Am 7wks pregnant, am grateful to God cos I had no difficilty getting pregnant @ all. So far its been smooth. No nausea or vomitting, I only have to deal with the occasional emotional outburst and sore moods. I do have stomach cramps much like menstral pains but am told that's just my uterus expanding in preparation for the baby. The crapms get worse after sex and it has rili made me wary of sex, something my brand new DH is not finding funny @ all but hey!!! That's the price we gotta pay. Lol I haven't started the routine drugs, I tried taking folic Acid but hated the smell so I stoped. I will see a doctor by next week when am 8 weeks.
Once again is rili great to join this thread...

sennykenny1: @busolayemi welcome, u are gud to go with folic acid oR better still pregnacare, but I think u should see ur doc for a scan to @ least knw how ur baby is doing.

Hummingbird i get question for u, when u had ur babies at 34weeks what was their weight, im really so skeptical about weight these days.

Welcome new preggie mum, God who started this journey will complete IJN.
Where are all the dec mum.
@fnor,how is the cramps.Doctors are actually on strike but I learnt it just for few days that by next week it ll be called off.
Compliment of the season to everyone.

Yes, they will be back to work by monday. My doc told me.
Am really enjoying my leave with this weather. I dont go out until the sun is out. Sinie and bizgirl, welcome on board

Ope I dey o, cramps are still there, i hear its all in prep for d real labor, it comes and goes though and DH helps in rubbing my back. I registered in a private hospital just in case dis strike lingersbthough it will b called off by weekend. Doctors says I can go into labor anytime from now so keepinb my fingers crossed. God will help us all...
Welcome to all d new pregs
Gen Buhari how far with madam?

Ahh. Fnor. Just watch the cramps. Once it becomes painful and at short interval, abeg make una go hospital.
Maybe this strike is for you to boycot that your doctor that scared you. Please make sure the other private hospital you registered with is good.
I pray it will be easy. Just don't say any negative thing at that moment. Continue being positive. God is your strength and Esmeralda's &others too.

Sennykenny. U right about the weather o but the good thing is it's the best time to have a hot bath and drink hot things after birthing.

Gbogbo bigzgirlz. Ur EDD is a week to my birthday.

Sinie. My baby was born 9months, 1week and 2days after my wedding. That means immediately after my wedding...

Good morning sisters. @preggie mamas, how pushing. @new mamas how night vigil?

@ mamas
How do u correct d old mamas doing omugwo for you? They still believe in d old ways of caring for babies and want to apply it to the babies. Eg I was told to only apply spirit on d cord at d hosp, but they want to apply vaseline before and now the cord is off,my aunt maintained its only vaseline That will be applied. Again d pen-is, am under pressure to apply vaseline or pencilin when doc said nothing shd be applied. Pls how do u handle these conflicts, bearing in mind these mamas used these their methods on us and it turned out well. I hv been told now again to buy bitter kola to soak in water to be given baby to calm his stomach, that its tummy ache that's Making him cranky, but new age called it COLIC ?


@sinie
Pls take prenatals, manage, we can't claim to eat very healthy. Lol@ brand new DH

@sinie I wish I cud be diz lucky wif ur preggy symptoms buh wot can man do. I wish I'm like 12weeks gone so dt I can pass tru this phase. So I am guessing we are both august momo's.

@ all swtest mum, please when can I start ante natal.

Hello preggy mommas. Compliments of d season.I m new to dis trend, bt have been enjoying d stories here. I m in my 3rd trimester nw. God will see us all thru.Cheers

Thanks dearies for the warm welcome
@ fnor wishing u a very smooth delivery. how exciting it must be for you, soon you'll get to hold your precious baby in your arms. Congrats dear.
@ Udoka thanks, i will try to get on the vitamins, hope it wont cause the nausea/vomiting ave so far avoided. BTW congratulations. i followed you on TTC (hope you are the same Udoka), wow, what a miracle. Thank the good lord for his loving mercies. so how's it being a mum? Fantastic right?lol
@simababe. so sorry dear for the morning sickness. i cant imagine how you must be feeling. hope you get better soon. so we are going to be birthmates(if there's anything like that lol). yay!!!

@honiepie....thanks dear....ironic you will say so cuz the meaning of the name dh and i chose even before i concieved is 'born into prosperity'. I guess there is power in our thoughts and word. How are you doing? as per epidural, you can read up on the risks but i know loooooooots of people that used it and are doing fine. I plan on using it sha, but we will see

Hmm@udoka, like you said they used those methods on us and we turned out well. But u can still tell your aunty that this is what the dr said o! And hear what she says


@fnor i wish you a supernatural birth ijn.

@simababe, dont worry...when you cross to second trimester you will get better

@sinie...pele...as for the cramps after s.ex....its caused by stress and the se.men.....so in order to not starve your brand new dh...if he can not ejacu.late inside and also be gentle im sure you guys will be fine

@ mama3boys aka byvan...hw u dey now? How una dey enjoy christmas holiday

@all compliments of the season




@rukemi...una don do the naming? Hope it went well o!

@Udoka I hav a baby girl wen her cord was off I stopped using spirit was using only vaseline on her navel and it healed perfectly as long as is odorless blue seal vaseline is good,even as u are changing ur baby diaper be applying it,he will neva hv nappy rash,i used Enfacol for d colic buh my moda in law said sometin abt bitter kola buh I hv started using infacol.its well dear.

@ goking, pls is it enfacol or infacol?
My first son really suffered from colic for months, he kept twisting and turning so I want to be prepared for dis one.
@ all, am 34 weeks today, Yipeeee counting down, pls pray for my baby to turn ooo, she is still breech.
