It's not all the time sef.
Sometimes these online vendors also have a physical shop and sell the items for the same price.
I know for certain that some of the items I ship in, I sell it for exact amount it is sold for in Idumota.
For example this hooded blanket is same price in the Idumota.
Some online vendors sabi do overdo but not all, this is where your assignment lies. Finding a vendor that sells quality items for good price

Hello preggy mamas! How are we all doing? Congratulations to all team July and August that have birthed their little ones. Trust vigilante is treating you well. I was team June and trust me vigilante is very real (still on it). God bless all mothers in the world. To all belleful mamas, safe delivery at your appointed time by God's grace.

Please I need help o. What can I take or do to prevent postpartum FATNESS? I wasn't fat when I was pregnant and ever since I gave birth, I keep adding every day by day. I am doing exclusive breastfeeding o but still the fatness keep coming. Biko no read and pass, I need answers. Thank you all.

There are hidden reasons why you might be gaining weight while breastfeeding, which is of course dissapointing and very frustrating. Especially when you seems to be doing everything right then you see all these women proclaiming their easy-peasy weight loss, and it makes for one giant stress ball. Gaining weight while breastfeeding is more common than you feel, and understanding the hidden reasons behind the weight gain, or lack of weight loss, can really help you feel less-stressed.
What you can do right away is focus on every meal and snack you consume and make sure they are breastfeeding supportive not just counting calories. Please do not skip meals, starve yourself or work out so hard to break yourself. You need more of fruits, vegetables, clean and lean protein sources, nuts, a few grains like oatmeal and some beans. What will happen when you add in more nutrients, your body will feel like it is safe, and it will let go of fat.
Sometimes stress makes us gain weight too and our body store fats to be used as energy and calories. Don’t forget to incorporate exercises too.

I also gain weight while breastfeeding, I watch what I eat and loose them when I wean my babies.

Hope this helps..
One love always

Mothers please your kind assistance is needed.

Few weeks after birth I noticed some pinkish fleshy obstruction in my vagina. When I try to push it back up it moves and drops down again.

I experienced something similar after my first baby but I remember it went away on this own.

Anyone experienced this before?

You are most likely experiencing a pelvic organ prolapse which could be your vaginal or uterus. Do you feel like there is a lump at the opening of the vagina, a sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvis or you feel like you are “sitting on a ball” and a achy pain in your lower back that gets better when you lie down.
You will need to go talk to your provider because it has happened before and the pelvic floor muscles get weaker with childbirth. You might need an estrogen replacement or a pessary to keep it in place.

It can be prevented by doing the following during pregnancy and following child birth:

Perform Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic muscles
Avoid constipation by eating high-fiber foods and drinking plenty of fluids.
Avoid bearing down to move your bowels.
Avoid heavy lifting.
Control coughing.
Lose weight if you're overweight or obese.

Hope this helps, one love always

Brownishshuga:
to be honest ehh I have abandoned my drugs so scared of taking thing because I always feel so uncomfortable anytime I take them I’ll try and resume them today sha. Maybe our other teamie are still battling with MS

Please don’t abandon your prenatal vitamins even if it’s just the folic acid. It so tiny that you can swallow without water.

Have you tried dry crackers or notice when your body tolerate foods. There’s always that time of the day though it varies with individual.
And just go with the flow of what is tolerated for now, this phase will soon pass.

Kaffy4bill I was going to tag you to our topic for today (gestational diabetes) but I wasn't sure you'd be free...
Can you help?

sugah:


Today's topic is Gestational diabetes

Any volunteers?

My name is Kafayat and most people especially the old mamas know me by Nurse Kaffy.

I am a proud mama of 4 and I had gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with my last baby.

As the name implies it is high blood sugar in pregnancy in a woman with no previous history of diabetes and mostly diagnosed between 24-28weeks through a blood test after a glucose drink has been given. It is believed to resolve after delivery but can proceed to type 2 diabetes mellitus if not well managed.

Risk factors include: family history of diabetes ( in my case , my dad is diabetic), previous history of a baby more than 4kg( I had a 4.2kg baby), African descent( I am a proud African woman), previous history of gestational diabetes in pregnancy , over weight/obesity .

Symptoms: mostly GDM has no symptoms but could be suspected with sugar in your urine during urine testing, excessive hunger, excessive thirst, or fatigue and frequent urination or recurring yeast infection.

Diagnosis: it is diagnosed through glucose challenge test and oral glucose tolerance test. A positive glucose challenge test will require an oral glucose tolerance test for confirmation. The test will reveal how your body make use of glucose. You will be given a glucose drink to take and your blood sample will be taken after an hour for glucose challenge and no fasting is required. For oral glucose tolerance test, about 8 hours of fasting is required before the test, sample will be taken before the glucose drink is given and after 1hr, 2hrs and 3hrs.
Your provider will tell you what your result is.

Management: it’s managed mainly with diet and life style modification but if no changes, you might be placed on oral drugs or insulin to manage it. More frequent prenatal visit and baby’s growth will be monitored.

Effect on baby and mother: Your baby is prone to over weight, low blood sugar after birth, jaundice, birth defects, premature birth, still birth and type 2 diabetes in future. The mother is at risk for CS, type 2 diabetes mellitus post delivery.

Gestational diabetes is no joke, it is something you think about at every minutes considering you are pregnant, good prenatal care and compliance with treatment regimen goes a long way in preventing complications.

Mine went away post delivery but I am not taking chances with my healthy life styles as I am more prone to type 2 DM giving my history and risk factors
I discussed it recently on my page and working in releasing the video of my GDM story.

Breastmilk not flowing well can be as aresult of stress, baby not latching properly or not feeding often.
To boost your supply you need lots of rest (avoid stress and anxiety), take lots of fluid (water), eating adequately and putting baby to breast often with proper latching.

Here's a video to help with proper latching and how to know if your baby is getting enough milk

It wasnt a condition present during my early stage, in fact it was discovered the week i put to bed, since its was almost my due date, i was admitted and monitored, but the BP and odema refused to go after 3 days on admission, hence I was scheduled for an induction which later failed after 2 days of labour, finally had my baby through emergency cs,
So for this journey am always alarmed by BP issue, I haven't been given any medication for it so far, but I occasionally boil and drink corn silk and guava leaves, it help with the feet swelling and controls the Bp too.

Hi mama, how are you and the little one doing?

I take it that you are talking about pregnancy induced hypertension.(PIH)

For you not to be given any medication for it so far, it must be the mild one and that’s good news.

I don’t know about the corn silk and guava leaves for the management but most times PIH resolves after delivery and the swelling goes down gradually.

Please ensure you eat healthy, rest well( with great emphasis), monitor the blood pressure closely and your urine output too.
Don’t hesitate to ask for help, don’t feel guilty about it and talk to your provider in case of any uncertainty.

My post today on my IG page is on PIH, kindly check it out.

I was AWOL for a while and returned to see you had baby no4 and left naija. Congratulations.

The IG live for antenatal topics is a great idea...if more mamas are willing then we can schedule convenient times and topics.

Thank you for this educative video.

Uwc
I wish I saw this video when I was breastfeeding my first...its now very obvious the boy wasn't latching at all thats why he stopped breastfeeding at 3 months and was taking the same milk in bottles. He must have felt he was wasting his time sucking directly from me

One love sis

whyworryPH:


So happy for you darling. Can't wait to be back too!

Hi.

MummyD2020:


One thing you should know firstly is that bodies are different. Some lose it fast while breastfeeding while some lose it later. Do you exercise while breastfeeding? How much do you eat while doing exclusive? What do you eat? Do you take things that aid in weight loss( which I dont think is advisable, I dont know).These are factors that determine why you do not shed the fat as fast as you want. Lastly, how long have you put to bed now? It's good we look after ourselves after giving birth but at the same time, let's not forget that the main focus is that LO is getting all that is needed at this stage. In all mama, abeg give baby breezzzzzzz and kisses wella jare. Kudos to you dear!

My own pelvic pain sef is still dealing with me. I practically walk like a duck while getting out of bed. Good news is that I'm waddling to my third trimester next week by His MERCY. Someone should pls bring me breakfast in bed cos I'm seriously hungry.

Thanks maam. You are right! I eat anything that comes my way. I mean I don't eat balanced diet anymore unlike during preggy that I eat five servings of fruits daily. I will look into what I eat. Thanks mama.

Thanks, it was 138/96 last saturday, the doctor said we should be watchful, but its still ok, my first pregnancy i was on 190/ 120 or so, I just hrd the doctor exclaim so loudly and request for immediate admission, with 2 big vial of magsuf injected instantly, was glad I strolled in to complain about my 3 days old toothache that year, only God knows what would have happened to me.

Pls what can I do about this thing protruding from my anus, it's painful to sit on my but, no bleeding from the anus sha, other mama that have experienced this should also put mouth o, we are 29wks.

Thank you so much ma. I heard mamas on bedrest are at risk of GDM. How can they prevent themselves from being a victim of it?

Deeedeee:

Btw I have Lupilu diapers and ASDA little angels diapers for sale...08083186075

juola:

Thank you so much ma. I heard mamas on bedrest are at risk of GDM. How can they prevent themselves from being a victim of it?

With bed rest the risk of excessive weight gain is high making women on bed rest more prone to gestational diabetes.
Ways to go about it is to get involved with minimal physical activities by moving what you can of your body, stretching what you can with the permission of your provider, ensure you are well hydrated, monitor what you eat and stay comfortable .

Hope this helps

Hemorrhoids are common and affects almost half of all pregnant women. It can also occur after delivery as a result of pushing during labor.
Pressure from the enlarging uterus can cause the vein in the rectal wall to swell, bulge or itch and can be complicated by constipation.
Your high blood pressure could be a contributing factor too.

Make sure to drink lot of water to avoid constipation, ensure adequate rest ,increase your fluid and vegetables intake, sleep on your side, don’t sit or stand for too long, do pelvic floor exercises.

To push it in, take a warm bath and lubricate with Vaseline, sheabutter(Ori) or coconut oil to push it. It might be uncomfortable but once it’s in, you will feel relief however if it’s very big or you experience any bleeding, you need to talk to your provider about treatment for hemorrhoids
I usually just push mine in and it’s fine.
Most times, don’t wait it out, push in as soon as it comes out and it helps. hemorrhoids relief cream sold at the pharmacy have some numbing effects to take care of the pain.

Hope this helps
