JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD SHARE SOME THINGS FIRST TIME MOMS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PREGNANCY: 1. Download a pregnancy app to track your baby’s development every week. 2. Eat what you feel like eating during your pregnancy and stop worrying about getting fat. 3. Cravings and baby kicks are the best part of being pregnant! 4. Love your body and the beautiful miracle that it is busy creating inside for you. 5. Morning sickness is the worst part of pregnancy – It can occur any time of day and anytime during your pregnancy. It can even stop and come back at a later stage. 6. Pregnancy can make you tired and emotional. Relax when you can and take a nap. 7. Pregnant bellies are the cutest – so flaunt it. 8. Yes, it is possible to fart and burp at the same time. 9. Your feet will swell a little or a lot! Don’t freak out, just keep them elevated. 10. Enjoy the shiny healthy hair because soon it will be falling – a lot. 11. Don’t feel guilty if the baby’s sex isn’t exactly what you were expecting. It’s completely normal to feel that way. 12. Wash your baby’s clothes before use. Some clothing may contain chemicals like formaldehyde. 13. Don’t buy too many newborn sizes because babies grow extremely fast. 14. Onesies are more comfortable than 2 pieces. It is also so much easier to take out. 15. Pack your hospital bag early and make sure that all of Dad’s and baby’s things are packed as well. 16. Birth plans are not necessary. 17. Don’t listen to other people’s “horror stories.” It will only scare you. 18. Educate yourself about C-sections and Vaginal births. Anything can happen, don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t go the way you wanted it too. 19. Giving birth is the happiest and scariest day of your life. POSTPARTUM: 1. Let your body heal. Don’t rush back to gym and use of waist trainers. 2. It’s okay to not fall head over heels immediately with your newborn. 3. Spend a lot of skin-to-skin time with your baby so you can bond. 4. It’s okay to hold your baby as much as you want – you can’t spoil a baby. 5. Crying is how newborns communicate. 6. Listen to your instincts, not Dr. Google. 7. Babies have their own schedule; they will guide you. Don’t try to do everything by the book. 8. Nursing is natural but doesn’t necessarily come naturally – Don’t be disappointed if breastfeeding gets difficult or painful. 9. Watch breastfeeding videos if you need assistance. 10. What you eat after birth matters because it affects your baby’s diet if you decide to breastfeed. 11. Feeding on demand is 100% acceptable. 12. You are not a failure if you can’t breastfeed. 13. Formula feeding doesn’t make you a bad mother. 14. Never leave home without extra breast pads and another set of clothes for you and baby. 15. You will lose the baby weight but you may never wear those jeans again – your body shape may change. 16. You will have bad days, but loads of good ones too. 17. Don’t forget to take time for yourself. 18. Don’t forget to take time for your partner. 19. Remember marriage will never be the same after a baby, a lot changes. 20. Date nights are important. 21. Make time for sex. Schedule it if you have too. 22. Sex can be painful the first few times after birth. 23. Post Natal Depression is a reality. 24. Don’t beat yourself up over every little thing. 25. It is okay to have a meltdown. 26. Invest in a baby carrier – it will make life easier when you alone at home and need to get work done. 27. Your baby will puke or poop all over you at least once. 28. Buy lots of bibs . 29. Buy nasal spray. 30. Cut baby’s nails when he is sleeping. 31. If you have a son – make sure his private part faces down when you put the diaper on. Trust me, this definitely does matter! 32. Co-sleeping is acceptable and might be the only way you get some sleep. 33. You won’t stay friends with the same people once you’ve had a child. That’s okay 34. Find support groups. This thread is a good example 35. Everyone feels unprepared. 36. If you don’t want to be judged, stop judging. 37. Don’t be too hard on yourself. 38. Expect that each baby will be unique. 39. Let the laundry pile up. 40. Your mom and mother-in-law might get pushy and expect you to do things a certain way. It’s okay to tell them you’ve got everything under control, even if you entirely don’t. 41. Let your husband or partner do things his own way. 42. You will appreciate your own mother so much more now that you a mom too. 43. Stay at home moms feel guilty just as working moms do but it just may be for different reasons. 44. Parenting isn’t a competition. 45. Spending the entire day in pyjamas is acceptable. 46. Every baby reaches milestones at different ages. 47. Time really goes fast with a baby around and soon she will be a year old… than 2-years old. 48. Politics become more important now that you have a family. 49. Take pictures with YOU in them. 50. Write down the special moments… like the first walk, first time baby said “Dada”. 51. You don’t have to enjoy every moment. 52. Forgetting things is normal. 53. Laughter is the best medicine.

christybabe, Ada243 and other new moms! Please don't give any drugs to your newborn ! Discontinue if you have started. if your child needs any of such, he should still be in the hospital and it should be administered intravenously. They are absolutely not necessary!!!!!! When will all these old fashioned practises be put aside Educate yourself, ask questions! Don't just give because one doctor/nurse/midwife or whoever said so. Even immunisation I go to take, you must educate me and tell me how many mls you will administer, essence of the vaccine and possible side effects. 6 Likes |

Ada243: Chai. Ampiclox for newborns newborns with no medical issue are given antibiotics as strong as ampiclox ? Who are these doctors? Antibiotics have been seriously abused. No wonder so many ailments are now resistant to antibiotics because the baby's natural immune system has been messed up from birth thanks to uneccesary antibiotics. 4 Likes |

feddy27: Drugs these days are administered to babies orally. The intravenous route is mostly adopted for babies that are really ill. Poking injections in adults is not fun how much more babies. The issue here is not really how these drugs are administered but the REASON WHY these drugs are administered in the first place? Why should a healthy newborn baby with no health conditions be placed on antibiotics bikonu Why the craze for antibiotics especially "strong" ones like ampiclox? Even for chesty coughs in much older babies, much milder antibiotics are prescribed but never ever ampiclox. 1 Like |

Liftedhands: Mama ekene. The issue tire person. Do they know the effects of these antibiotics or how powerful they are? I'm curious to know the dosage that are administered to these newborns. Don't be surprised to hear that these doctors are administering dosages as high as 2.5ml to 5ml. 2 Likes |

faari:At 30weeks baby should weigh between 1.1kg and 1.7kg. Just keep eating healthy, proteins, carbs, veges, fruits and stay away from sodas. You would be surprised how much your baby grows in the next few weeks that you would start getting worried about a big baby again. Ayomide went from 1.4 to 2.1kg in a space of 3weeks. But im not worried cos he is growing normally. 1 Like |

Once I told my mum not to try covering my son's mouth with her hand whilst he's yawning.. She look me bad eye say "if person no born for your side, the person will just go and kee herself" Her reason, if you don't interrupt the yawn, the baby's mouth would enlarge. I no fit laff. Everytime she tells me I am the only new mum that doesn't own a bucket full of drugs (ajogba). I told her my baby is hale & hearty, so mi o need e. For the first time, she disagreed with the old wives--tie the navel stump with pepper soup ingredient and burn the hell outta the navel with a Lantern's tale... I over happy cos if she says "oya" and I say "no".. The elders must hear this 4 Likes 1 Share |
