Pls mamas I just remembered oh. I know I cant really control it but my heart beats faster than normal. Biko what do I do? Any suggestions? May God bless us all here.

Extra blood in pregnancy results in a heart rate that is about 25 percent faster than usual. A faster heart rate can result in occasional heart palpitations. These feel like your heart is fluttering or beating extremely fast. Heart palpitations can be normal and nonharmful during pregnancy.

You can try relaxation techniques as stress can trigger or worsen heart palpitations, Dehydration can cause heart palpitations, increase your fluids intake, avoid carbonated drinks and caffeine and be compliant with your prenatal vitamins.

You may find it helpful to write down when you experience the palpitations to see if you can identify a trigger. Keeping a log may also be useful if you experience more palpitations over time. You can take this information to your provider at future appointments.

If your provider identifies a cause for your palpitations, they may recommend treatment.

Hope this helps
One love always

Good evening, moms and dads
My Team October, hope we're doing well?
Please what can I do to help these swelling feet. I had to wear bathroom slippers to antenatal yesterday cos no footwear was sizing me again.
Today, the swelling got worse.
I don't eat excess salt, but I drink water seriously. Could that be the cause? Someone suggested I take short walks and strolls. If only they know the pain I feel in my pubic region.

Sorry cappo, have you tried elevating the legs on a small kitchen chair when you sit or with a pillow when you lay down?

That's what I do o. We're almost there sha. Getting into week 35

Pregnancy is a challenge, having a baby is another challenge. Plz mama's who have experience in fontaelle(oka) in babies, how do u cope? My baby has two; front and back. And she hardly sleeps at night. Always crying. Meanwhile another woman had a baby three days after I and we barely hear her baby cry at night.
My mom says it's the fontanelle thats causing mine to cry that we should get herbs for bathing and giving baby to drink while hubby is against herbs as his doctor brother told him crying at night is normal. I don't know whose side to be on and I hate seeing my baby cry so much and be restless at night. Plz am I alone on this? Is it normal or we go the herb route as my mom suggested?
Meanwhile, baby is 3weeks old. She is on EBF.

Mama theres nothing you can do to it like they told me. But the usual less salt intake, exercise and putting up your feet when you sit down. I had it with my first and now, it is happening. I just look at it and face other challenges biko. I cannot come and be killing myself.

kaffy4bill:


Ferrous sulphate is iron tablet, try to take the antacid two hours before or after the iron tablet. It reduces the absorption on iron and don’t forget the vitamin c or citrus juice . You can try other sources if beans and Vegetable give you diarrhea.
It will end in praise

One love always

threegees:

That's what I do o. We're almost there sha. Getting into week 35

Yes dear we are almost there. God will perfect his great work in our lives.

MY BIRTH STORY
The pregnancy journey was a smooth one just like my first pregnancy, I had no malaria, nausea, or morning sickness.
So on Thursday 20th of August, exactly 33weeks around 1am I started having contraction, I thought it was false contraction cos i had it two weeks before. The contraction continued till 5am and I couldn’t sleep. When hubby woke up and saw me he was scared, he asked us to start going to the hospital and I told him to relax that it’s false contraction that am just 33weeks. Although have gotten all the baby things but I haven’t arranged it, I said I will do that by ending of the month not knowing baby will surprise me. Please I implore us once you are in third trimester that packing your things, you never can tell. So around 8am we went to the hospital where I registered, it’s a private hospital.
I went in and saw the doctor I told her I was having contraction, she was like contraction ke? At 33 weeks. She now said she will do V.E and when she did I was 4cm dilated. She gave me injection that will aid the lungs of the baby. She now said she has to refer me to another hospital cos the baby will need incubator, I was now getting scared and started praying and telling God that I know he will not fail me and that he brought me this far so he won’t forsake me or leave me half way. I explained to my husband and we went to the hospital we were referred to. We didn’t even go with the baby things because I taught we will just go to the hospital and they will stop the contraction. So when she got to the hospital we were referred to they also referred us to another hospital again, a teaching hospital.
When we got there my liquor was leaking already, I was wheeled to where they do scan the baby was weighing 2.2kg. They also did V.E I was 5cm gone. They asked if it was my first pregnancy I said no, they asked me when I gave birth to my first, I told them it was 40 weeks and 5days. So I was wheeled to the labor room, I think after 2 or 3 hours oxytocin was injected to the drip, labor now started with full force, while I was in the labor room my Mum called me and I spoke to her calmly cos I don’t want her to panick. After 5 hours I got to the labor room I started feeling the urge to push and I was moved to another bed, after two attempts of pushing my baby came out crying out loudly, the doctor was like the baby doesn’t sound like a preterm baby. He weighed 2.5kg and he was okay without incubator. The doctor said maybe I miscalculated my Lmp, I told him am not a baby that my lmp was January 2nd, he na said maybe I was already pregnant before I saw my last period. So time for placenta to come out it refuse to come out, the nurse dip her hand inside to check me she said she can’t even feel it that it’s still far away, I started praying again for God to complete what he started, after 10minutes it came out, I had little tears and it was stitched. My husband was not there, he was told to go and donate blood, so I gave birth before he came back. He was so happy. Eventually there was no need for the blood. My Pcv was 36 % after delivery.
Few minutes later I was moved to the maternity ward, and I started putting the baby to breast. The baby just came as a surprise. I was given a message that God said he deliberately brought the baby earlier to surprise and destroy the plan of those waiting to strike on the day of labor. I bless God for the journey so far. I pray for every mother here that God will make your journey a successful one and you will all deliver safely. And to Gtc this year is your year in Jesus name, baby dust to you all.
Cc October cappo. Thank you all for your prayers, it meant to much to me. My Miracle baby is saying hi to you all.

Have you yourself tried to google what fontanelle is?? All babies have fontanelle biko nu, it is normal and that is definitely not why your baby is crying. The one at the back closes first.

Your baby might have colic.

Hope you are not covering her too much.

Are you sure she is getting enough milk? Try to pump so you can see what you are producing.

Have you yourself tried to google what fontanelle is?? All babies have fontanelle biko nu, it is normal and that is definitely not why your baby is crying. The one at the back closes first.

Your baby might have colic.

Hope you are not covering her too much.

Are you sure she is getting enough milk? Try to pump so you can see what you are producing.

Let nurse kaffy4bill come and explain better.

There is high possibility that your baby is going through colic. Colic in babies are predictable periods of significant distress in an otherwise well-fed, healthy baby.

Some experts believe that colic is the result of an allergy to cow's milk proteins (or lactose intolerance) in formula-fed babies. More rarely, colic may be a reaction to specific foods in Mom's diet in breastfed babies. Either way, these allergies or sensitivity can cause tummy pain that may set off colicky behavior.

Features of colic may include the following: Intense crying that may seem more like screaming or an expression of pain. Crying for no apparent reason, unlike crying to express hunger or the need for a diaper change. Extreme fussiness even after crying has diminished.

To help with colic, Lay your baby on his/her back in a dark, quiet room, burp after each feed, tummy time is encouraged, swaddle your baby snugly in a blanket, Lay across your lap and gently rub the back, you can also try infant massage, put warm water bottle or towel on your baby's belly, baby can suck on pacifier and a warm bath helps too.

Every baby has 2 fontanelles and they are normal.If you run your fingers gently over your newborn's head, you may feel a couple of soft spots instead of bone. These soft spots, where your baby's skull bones haven't fused together, are called fontanelles. They are a part of normal development.

The fontanelle on the back of the head usually disappears by 1 to 2 months of age. You may never be able to feel or see this one. The one on the top of the head remains present until your baby is between 7 and 19 months old. A baby's soft spots should be relatively firm and curve ever so slightly inward.

Kindly explain to mama with love, don’t compare your baby to your neighbor’s own, they are different . My boys have terrible colic episodes unlike my girl.

Hope this helps

My mom says it's the fontanelle thats causing mine to cry that we should get herbs for bathing and giving baby to drink while hubby is against herbs as his doctor brother told him crying at night is normal. I don't know whose side to be on and I hate seeing my baby cry so much and be restless at night. Plz am I alone on this? Is it normal or we go the herb route as my mom suggested?
Meanwhile, baby is 3weeks old. She is on EBF.

@bolded, pahdin??
Every human baby is born with fontanelle. The fontanelles help the skull to flex so the baby can pass through a 10cm birth canal. They close up at different times as the baby grows....there's no need for oils or herbs!

Your baby is crying for some other reason, maybe colic, hunger or been wrapped up like a shawarma and she's sweating

MY BIRTH STORY
The pregnancy journey was a smooth one just like my first pregnancy, I had no malaria, nausea, or morning sickness.
So on Thursday 20th of August, exactly 33weeks around 1am I started having contraction, I thought it was false contraction cos i had it two weeks before. The contraction continued till 5am and I couldn’t sleep. When hubby woke up and saw me he was scared, he asked us to start going to the hospital and I told him to relax that it’s false contraction that am just 33weeks. Although have gotten all the baby things but I haven’t arranged it, I said I will do that by ending of the month not knowing baby will surprise me. Please I implore us once you are in third trimester that packing your things, you never can tell. So around 8am we went to the hospital where I registered, it’s a private hospital.
I went in and saw the doctor I told her I was having contraction, she was like contraction ke? At 33 weeks. She now said she will do V.E and when she did I was 4cm dilated. She gave me injection that will aid the lungs of the baby. She now said she has to refer me to another hospital cos the baby will need incubator, I was now getting scared and started praying and telling God that I know he will not fail me and that he brought me this far so he won’t forsake me or leave me half way. I explained to my husband and we went to the hospital we were referred to. We didn’t even go with the baby things because I taught we will just go to the hospital and they will stop the contraction. So when she got to the hospital we were referred to they also referred us to another hospital again, a teaching hospital.
When we got there my liquor was leaking already, I was wheeled to where they do scan the baby was weighing 2.2kg. They also did V.E I was 5cm gone. They asked if it was my first pregnancy I said no, they asked me when I gave birth to my first, I told them it was 40 weeks and 5days. So I was wheeled to the labor room, I think after 2 or 3 hours oxytocin was injected to the drip, labor now started with full force, while I was in the labor room my Mum called me and I spoke to her calmly cos I don’t want her to panick. After 5 hours I got to the labor room I started feeling the urge to push and I was moved to another bed, after two attempts of pushing my baby came out crying out loudly, the doctor was like the baby doesn’t sound like a preterm baby. He weighed 2.5kg and he was okay without incubator. The doctor said maybe I miscalculated my Lmp, I told him am not a baby that my lmp was January 2nd, he na said maybe I was already pregnant before I saw my last period. So time for placenta to come out it refuse to come out, the nurse dip her hand inside to check me she said she can’t even feel it that it’s still far away, I started praying again for God to complete what he started, after 10minutes it came out, I had little tears and it was stitched. My husband was not there, he was told to go and donate blood, so I gave birth before he came back. He was so happy. Eventually there was no need for the blood. My Pcv was 36 % after delivery.
Few minutes later I was moved to the maternity ward, and I started putting the baby to breast. The baby just came as a surprise. I was given a message that God said he deliberately brought the baby earlier to surprise and destroy the plan of those waiting to strike on the day of labor. I bless God for the journey so far. I pray for every mother here that God will make your journey a successful one and you will all deliver safely. And to Gtc this year is your year in Jesus name, baby dust to you all.
Cc October cappo. Thank you all for your prayers, it meant to much to me. My Miracle baby is saying hi to you all.

Congratulations mama, your baby is so cute..
Thank God for His mercies

Pleasei want to ask something.
I went for antenatal and I was measuring 35 where as am 37 weeks already.
Please should I be worry?

Congratulations again bukit05.
When you made your BA and said your baby weighed 2.5kg I also wondered if you got your lmp wrong.
This is indeed the lords doing, kisses to your LO.

This is also a lesson to us...when we are registering in these so called private hospitals for antenatal/delivery lets be sure to find out if they are equipped for emergencies...although we pray against them but its better to have the equipment and not need them than to need them and not have them.

Hi mama, please calm down. Same happened to me but since baby is fine, its normal. There's bound to be two weeks difference, I am supposed to be 37weeks since last week but it's tomorrow that will place me around that time based on the last scan.
