postinor is a type of ocp. ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS

Okay. don't mind me, I no read too much book as na only 1st degree pali I get. The grammar and the abbreviation confused me.

@beremx congratulations to u and or family.....ur baby na orobo oooooooo

@Alheeri happy bumping....... u can take calcium supplement once in a day.....with ur routine drugs like folic acid..............

Alheeri:
Gm my senior/ junior mamas, am 6 weeks gone and ve been taking just pregnacare plus. Read somewhere that calcium is also essential for the growing baby, pls do I need to start taking milk everyday or I shud go get a calcium supplement. Thanks 4 ur response in advance!!

Upgrade to pregnacare max. It has the calcium included. Milk is also good to take except it's causing ms, you can switch to yogurt, pausterised cheese or any diary products.

Dozing off is 200% sure abi no be 50 pages?
I'm good. Hope you are fine too?

Aim07:

1. for how shud one use warm water to massage newborn baby?
2. after d cord has fallen off, ao shud d navel b cared for? although wat dey for her is dat

1) for as long as you can.
I massaged for about 3weeks to one month, but still bathing with very warm water.
2) nothing. Just leave it to heal on its own.
I ve never done anything to the navel after cord fell and my kids navel are perfectly OK
My opinion.

pocahuntaz this isn't the time for fear at all. Use ur energy for:
prayers,
exercise,
prayers,
food (to have energy for pushing),
me- time (u will hardly have any in a looooong while) and prayers.
Take note of the number of times 'prayers' appear. That's all u need. Safe trip to motherhood Sis.

Aim07 yes my MIL did that heating of the cord...and I think it soothes. We still used methylated spirit after heating (I can't remember for how long). Doc said it hastens healing.

congrats Beremx, I nearly thought my eyes were deceiving me until I saw other mamas saw baby's bigness too. Ahh. God be praised.

Congratulations beremx. May God's protection be upon u and ur family in Jesus name.

Hi Doc, pls what do u advise for a woman who is 31weeks pregnant, scan shows fetal weight of 1.9kg, diagnosed with gestational diabetes(controlling with 6unit insulin twice daily 70\30) fasting for past 3weeks has been 75 to 95(75 been the lowest, and the highest been 95). Can she go ahead with. Normal delivery, her doc intends to remove her cerlage @37weeks. Her after meal 1hr has been between 100 and 140, occasionally 150(very rare). Does GDM stop vaginal delivery.

I had my first scan yesterday, I am so happy seeing my Lo on the large screen for the first time , my Lo is fine and I am also doing Great, I give God all the glory. I calculated 7th of August as my EDD, but scan gave me 6th of August cause it said I am 12 weeks and 3 days gone today. @Britneystacy, how body ? I have not been seeing our roll call or am I missing out that much ? Pls let us organize ourselves. #Proudly August mum.

I've not started shopping yet o. Need to know if i'm team blue or pink first before i raid the markets.

@all, what's the best gift to give to a 1month old baby boy? I'm tired of thinking. The mum owns a baby shop where she sells customized baby clothes, duvets and playmats. So she won't be short of clothes at all. I just need to get sth unique for the child, under N10k. Pls mamas help out with your suggestions

@ozycy and rukemi291 thanks for ur response

How about toys? Rattles, teddies and educational types. baby won't use till much later but i'm sure it'll be useful nonetheless. Google vtech toys to give you ideas if you like the suggestion!

beremx congratulations on the birth of your lo. @humbledbygrace the joy of the lord is your strength.

zaynie:
@Lastbornop, welcome and have a stressfree and fruitful stay.
Rest, dont stress
If you cant eat your own food, pls eat out. Dont starve.
Nausea.... try to eat early. Even if its crackers or bread. As soon as u wake up eat sth. It worked for me.
You cant show yet at 5weeks, maybe you feel bloated. Or you are beginning to gain weight
If you dont trust your Dr. Flee! Your Dr should be your confidante @ this period. He should be patient enough to listen to your complaints and soothe u.
You can start ANC early if you are high risk (diabetic, hypertensive....) or if you ttcd for long before conceiving. Otherwise your 12th/13th week is ok.
I dont prescribe drugs . Nurse Kaffy4bill will be here to tell u routine drugs you need to use.
feel free to ask questions
Erhmm erhmm erhmmmm #coughs #clearsthroat ....pay your money o
?

thanks a lot! you all r really doing a gud job here. i stay around Oworo (just moved in) and i am trying to look for a very good and dependable hospital and Dr. who will b attentive and relate with me. i will wait and learn more on line till i stay ANC.

I know you dislike APC (me too ) but in here we are a family no bickering or fighting you here? Wish her and her baby well and move on.

Zaynie zika na mosquito dey spread am by biting pregnant women and infecting their lo with "small brain syndrome" its now ravaging south america where women have been told to postpone getting pregnant! As there is no vaccine or cure for it yet!

I just read online that Nigeria got its first case in 1954! seems its here already (maybe the mosquito don relocate to sambisa forest ) but now dormant.

Let Me Vent.......


Am damn tired of this BIL of mine that stays with us (Myself, DH & Mofe). The dude is trying to boss me (Maybe am the one feeling that way) but that's the vibe I get from his attitudes. The only thing he does is sweep the house (Excluding my room) and he doesn't even do it properly, he washes plate (Not always coz I wash while cooking) then wash n iron DH clothes. He frowns up n down. I call him sometimes and am sure he heard me quite alright but he would deliberately not answer. He challenges me subtly when I point out something he didn't do right. I send him on an errand (I barely do) and he chooses when he feel like doing it without even telling me. I sweat out in the kitchen, dish his food and not even a "thank you" from him. He would know am watching a program in the room but flips to his desired channel in the sitting room and we use a central dish. He stamps round the house in ways DH doesn't even do. Maybe he screwed up the previous day and I talk to him, he won't greet me the next day (Not that its a big deal coz his greeting doesn't translate to credit alerts but I noticed). He is 20years and am older. These attitudes of his I have complained to DH and he has addressed them so have I but he has refused to change so I want him out of my house, I don't want him to change again, I want him to leave my house. Those are the little I can mention from all the crap I see from him. All he does in the house are things I can do with Mofe strapped to my back as I have weighed his plus and minus and the minus outweighed the plus. The vibe i get is "Its my brother's house so nothing dey happen". Am trying to keep calm and not create any impression in my in-laws but its getting out of hand and I have to react.

Pele oh!!!!!!!!! i doubt if we can win* this inlaw war/brouhaha in Africa as a whole.....

The individual probably feels he has more entitlements than you in your own house. See if hubby can be the one to evict him, before the whole matter is misconstrued and so on.

Try and ignore him some more... Be deliberate in subtly showing your hubby some of the issues. For eg, strap Mofe to your back and start mopping while hubby is home so he will be forced to ask why the fellow isn't helping. Or strap Mofe(poor Mofe lol) again and say you wan go buy bread or something he can do.

That changing channel thing drives me mad, i would insist he changes it right back... nonsense upon ingredient..

@ tyconcepts ..why is he at your house? I like defined visits. .

Truth is that you have to overlook some of the things he does..you ain't in competition with him.. You have to know he's a 'big' boy and deserves some respect from you. You really can't be scolding him like a lil child or sending him on errands here and there without courtesy. . Seriously, he tries considering the chores you mentioned he does in your house ..some guys won't even raise a finger... You can't be treating him like a subordinate or something. .

When my brother in law came to our house to spend some time, we were gisting like siblings .. I didn't try to show him class or let him know I'm the boss here, this made feel so welcomed.. He in turn respected himself and would even do some chores without my knowledge because he felt so free..

From the way you write, i could deduce you dislike the guy and you're overreacting ... Seriously, you ain't in competition with him, not in YOUR own house..You're losing your respect by all these bruohaha..This is my opinion.(could be wrong)

However, if you feel his presence is causing harm.. Your husband can always send him home ...

However, if you feel his presence is causing harm.. Your husband can always send him home ...

Firstly ..... He's not on a visit, he stays here and has for the past 2years.

Secondly ..... Am of the opinion that if you stay in a house you should contribute your quota to the running of the said house, that said I can't clean after him nor cook for him while he sits and fold his arms in the sitting room doing nothing day in and day out ..... NO!

Thirdly ..... We use to be close as in sit and gist and laugh et all. DH was even surprised that we are going down well (DH knows the brother has funny attitudes) and I once told DH he misunderstands his brother. I even played the role of a go between DH and the brother but you don't expect me to keep quiet when he does something wrong simply because I want to be friends with him ..... No way. He hates being corrected and I hate people that can't be corrected.

Fourthly ..... I don't hate him else I won't have tolerated him for the past 2years now + I have his mate as my younger brother hence I thought we could flow well from the start. I don't see anything big boyish in the chores he does (wash plate, sweep n iron). I have never sent him to wash my clothes nor Mofe's own neither have I sent him to buy me sweets or biscuit.

He feels he owns the yards that's the koko and shows it to me subtly. I'm judging by the vibes and looks I get from him.

I don't even want him running errands for me self.....I no be handicap
