My able mamas, i greet everyone. Please i have an issue that has been on my mind for a while now, and i wish i could get some input. When should a mum start saving something for the child.
Also is it advisable to open an account for a newborn considering the fact that you might not have access to that account til the child is 18 or has the policy changed.
Or should i just be putting the money in my account, what if unseen expenses crops up. Please i feel some mamas here are already saving. I need inputs please.

I will advise you open account for the newborn. I did for my 3. I usually open with all monetary gifts they receive before and @ dedication. My mum did for me and handed it over to me when I turned 18. Cheers

On Jumayin's question

This is my second pregnancy on this thread and I avoid issues like this but somethings are just hypocritical.

The mama asked a question and people gave her an answer. Too many people may have responded there by over flogging the issue but what they said is not bad.

You see sometimes the truth needs to be said without mincing words, that doesn't make it harsh.

These mamas have not done wrong in my opinion. Jumayin posted only one reason for CS. Which if you must be honest sounded very unnecessary.

After Jumayin thanked them for their contribution before going on to say that there were other reasons and that she felt bad at the tone of the messages. All we needed to do as a family is assure her that that was not the intention, it was merely a wakeup call.

To now turn around to face mamas who responded is not just wrong but hypocritical. You think jumayin will love you more or is there an award to be recieved here.


I will admonish us to stand together in truth and not spread unnecessary bitterness among mothers on this thread.

By the way if my post offends you, it is not for this purpose. If you are not convinced just blame it on the hormones please let's stay in love.

sugah:


I went at 29weeks to see my baby's face. I knew the sex of my baby at about 16weeks or so on a regular 2D scan. You can get baby's sex on a 4D scan as early as 12 weeks sef,....

thats how d place near my abode that is all n all in scan with the latest scan machine cannot see gender even till 30weeks - went 4 times from 18weeks to check gender
4d cannot see face or produce a valid rendered image.

Imagine....

Will be visiting omidval wen i can make it to ikeja.

@liftedhands, please lemme know if mecure do 4d n d price wen u go.

ozycy:

They think say you be JJC for the matter, they don't know that you are an Internet and very very learnerd mama , if they meet 2 more of your type, they will surely do their homework well. Hope they refunded you at least part of the money.

lols...serious internet.

They no refund me o...i didn't also bother going down to that after the well deserving experience they got from me.
Again before i went to meet the clueless sonographer, i had already become friends and serious choco o with the owner of the place. And the man had already promised to attend my baby shower with loads of gifts when he arrives Miami with his family . Plus the free rescan.
So i no kukuma get mouth to ask for refund o
it's well.

Why You Should Eat Banana During Pregnancy... http://m24health..co.ke/2016/08/why-you-should-eat-banana-during.html?m=0

Two things that have been known over the years that naturally aid healthy growth of the fetus are vegetables and fruits. When you pregnant, one of the fruits to consider is banana.
Nutrients and health benefits of banana have been associated with the reason why you should eat banana during pregnancy. Most of these health benefits help the pregnant woman to cope and overcome some peculiar issues during pregnancy... http://m24health..co.ke/2016/08/why-you-should-eat-banana-during.html?m=0

SURYSuri:
This your comment reminds me of my experience with one scan center like that.

At 8 weeks I was scanned by an experienced Dr at the general hospital who confirmed I was 8 weeks gone and said there was fatal heart beat and all the necessary things that needs to be seen at 8 weeks.

me not convinced about his report because he was not talking to me while doing the scan, he didn't say anything to me even when I asked him questions he just put everything in the report.

when I came out I just told my husband that I don't like the way the Dr did not tell me anything but put it in the report so I don't trust him, I told dh to take me to a private scan center to re assure myself that I am pregnant.

so we went into this scan center o, the man checked and checked and told me that he can't see anything, later on he said I should be around 6 weeks that he can see a gestational sac but no heart beat and no fetal pole, if you see the way jumped up from that his table ehn! the man fear.

when we were going home dh asked if we should look for another place I told him no thanks I have had enough I will follow the first dr's report.

so I think some of these scan center operators are quarks.

serious quacks o my dear.

It's just so overwhelming how charlatans & quacks organize themselves, open centers as they like without any regulation whatsoever and defraud Nigerians without anybody saying or doing jack about it.

God save us!

Yes, it is advisable. I put aside a portion for my son each month. You can operate the account till he's of age and hand over to him. It will be linked to your account so you can always see it.

I will advise you open account for the newborn. I did for my 3. I usually open with all monetary gifts they receive before and @ dedication. My mum did for me and handed it over to me when I turned 18. Cheers

Awwww! that's so sweet of your mum

I've learnt one for my children

Who can relate?

I saw this and I thought to share.

You may probably not know, but there are some rules of visiting a new mom. No, we are not kidding.

Read on:

1. Wait to be invited
We Africans especially, when we hear our friend has a baby, we just up and go, not forgetting to take with us the ululations…Nah. New moms are tired and they need that mother-child bond especially in the very early days. Do not go when it’s convenient for you! Call prior to and find out when you can visit.


2. Do not visit when sick
Please. If you have a cold, a skin rash or whatever other forms of ailment there is out there, wait till you’re feeling better. Newborns have a weak immune system and are therefore vulnerable to diseases.

3. Leave your kids behind
If you plan on visiting a new mom with your three kids, it’s best to call the new mom before and ask her if it’s fine. The last thing a new mom needs is a bunch of kids running around the house messing everything up and making noise

4. Bring food
Surely, you can’t go to visit a new mom and expect a feast party! More so from a mom who doesn’t have a nanny yet. Assume the role of the host, ask to help around the house and bring food so that you can all eat and save the new mom the hustle of going to the kitchen to cook for you and other guests.

5. Wash your hands
That’s the first thing you should do the minute you arrive. No mother wants germs near her newborn.

6. Wait to be offered the baby
New moms have very strong mother instincts and come off as very protective. The last thing they want is to see their baby being passed around from one guest to another and being kissed and touched and all…as much as your purpose of visiting was to see the baby, wait for the mother to offer you the baby, or at least ask in a kind way.

7. Don’t hog the baby
If you’re offered the baby, do not stay for hours with the baby. That’s baby hogging. Give it back to the mother after a few minutes.

8. Do not offer unsolicited advice
If the new mom hasn’t asked for any advice from you, please keep your parenting tips to yourself. Don’t start saying how the baby needs an extra blanket or how the mom should hold the baby. No! This is a new mom…don’t make her feel like she’s doing a bad job already for pete’s sake.



 

9. Commenting on the baby’s name
Even if you think the baby’s name is as outrageous as North West, do not mention it. Seriously, it’s not the time and place.


10. Talk about something else other than the baby
Ask the new mom how she’s coping, heck, talk about Beyonce…anything else other than the baby. Don’t spend the whole time talking about the new-born. Entertain the mom a little bit.

11. Know when to leave
Don’t be the kind of guests who visit at 1.00pm and by 7.00pm they still haven’t left. Take hits and know when to leave. The new mom and baby need as much rest as they can get
