My second son weighed 4.2kg at birth. The clothes I bought for his naming ceremony was too tight for him but we squeezed him into it and removed it after the ceremony. Lol.

See a doctor, you will be given a drug that will help dry the breast milk fast. Though, you will still go through the normal pain of stopping breast feeding.
Try to also be among people and get engaged with different activities. It will help ease the pain. There is indeed ease after hardship. These are the things that helped me back in 2016 when I lost my 2 months old baby. Alhamdulillah for His Mercies.

Thank you my sister. How long did it take for your period to return back then pls?

kennybelle:


Sorry mama. Please try and express it for about 3 to 4 times daily and gradually reduce the frequency. You can take some pain relievers or apply something cold.

Please also seek a professional advice. You can ask a nurse or doctor in your area.

Please kindly engage in activities that will distract you from grieving too much so your body can get prepared for 'babies.'

I pray that you come here soon to give us the good news.

Thank you so much. I will do so

My babies both came out small and I don't like babies in oversize clothes so I buy newborn size for the first few weeks of life. My son didn't like eating so he didn't outgrow the clothes quickly but my daughter is a foodie and she might outgrow hers soon.
Thats just my personal preference sha, I'd rather have them in snug clothes than oversize.

Anistef:
June mamas,
Gudevening to you all hope d journey is goin beautifully so far, I know most have scaled through MS days for those who haven't, they Lord will strengthen you.
Also I hope we have register for our antenatal and taking our drugs (don't mind me I'm guilty of these).
So far, I pray for smooth, joyfull and moneyfull journey to all mamas in the house.

June mama have seen someone who is guilty like me. Hope you are fine sha

Personal Preference is the main deal. I do have small babies as well. Infact I bought clothes that has tiny baby written on them and I Love it. My babies don't outgrow them so fast.

My period comes back early like a month after birth. Not seeing your period does not mean you are not ovulating.

Sorry mama. It takes about six weeks or more depending on your body. Please avoid doing stressful things, rest well and take some walks around the house as the body permits.

Long and boring BS


Surprise pregnancy after I misread my FP app. I cried and cried because I bin don already hang boot with my 2 soldiers, but I decided to count my blessings and move on. I chose to be team green.


First trimester was terrible as usual, doctor recommended an anti nausea drug it worked for some time but was making me sleep too much so I stopped. The best thing I did at this stage was buy the gummies version of prenatal vitamins. Taking my vits was just like licking sweet. At a point the only thing I could eat was starch... Delta people go shock but I even ate starch and Ogbono during this season lol.


Second semester was a blast! I had energy and was very active, taking transit everyday to work. I really rocked this period but I started waddling early sha as per 3rd baby. I tried to walk 15 minutes every morning... Either from my house to the train or from the train to the office. They said I had gestational diabetes in my last pregnancy so made me do a series of tests this time. Come and see me happy when the final test came back clear.


Third trimester came with heartburn and pelvic pain. Also low PCV and platelets, for the platelets I was praying, but for low pcv I wasn't bothered because it's a constant diagnosis during my pregnancies. Pelvic pain is not funny o, I'm still having it self. I initially wanted to work till I born but later decided to start my leave at 35 weeks or so. I tried to remain active, but the flesh was very weak and waking up early in the morning was difficult so most times I couldn't do my 15 minute walk. By this stage self walking was even difficult because baby was head down and low.


Then I started my leave and that's when laziness overtook me. Sleeping galore. Sometimes my body will be paining me so I'll just take a walk. But most times when I think of wahala of wearing jacket etc just to take walk, I'll kukuma stay inside. A couple of times I climbed stairs inside the house just going up and down.


36 weeks 6 days I blended pineapple with 100% pineapple juice and mixed with zobo drink. Very sweet. That became my water till it finished. I also started taking peppersoup. Upon all this, 37 weeks came and passed, no baby.


We were moving to another house and collected the key Wednesday 16th. Our initial plan was to move small small. But by Friday when I saw that baby was not coming, say na shalaye she just dey with many Braxton hicks, I say make we just park at once. On Sunday we moved almost everything and slept in the new house.


I woke up Monday morning with contractions, I stayed in bed until I was sure it was the real deal, then I started timing (I used a website https://www.thebump.com/calculators/contraction). It's possible my contractions started easier but I slept through them due to tiredness, because by the time I started timing they were already very close together.


I woke hubby up and told him 'this is not a drill, this is the real deal'. 21st December. I was so happy. My preferred dates for baby to come were 12, 17, 18, 20, and 21st for different reasons. But when baby did not come by 18 I just let go, and started praying for God's due date.


I took my time to do number 2 and bathe, then I put the finishing touches to my hospital bag, then went to drink some pepper soup. By the time we left the house contractions were about 2-5 minutes apart.


We got to the hospital around 9.30. By then frequency of contractions had reduced to maybe 9 minutes. They checked me and said 5cm, that I should walk around the hospital (actually at that point they had no beds, number of maternity ward beds have reduced because of COVID). She told me she checked me at 10.20 so i told hubby let's walk around till 12.30.


Na so we go downstairs. Hubby bought and ate breakfast, we walked around etc. By 12.30 I was in intense pain and contractions were every minute. We went back and they checked me: 8cm. They didn't allow me get up again and wheeled me to the favor room and burst my water. That's how they started begging me not to push that doctor is in surgery. I asked for epidural, they said the anesthesiologist is also in surgery. The pain was so much that I vomited my peppersoup.


Finally doctor came. As soon as she came, contractions calmed down lol. All of us started waiting, the doctor looked so impatient self. Then they asked me to push even if I feel the pressure is not much. I did first set (3 pushes), second set I almost fainted, the third set I felt the pressure and gave it my all, and finally baby was out. Placenta followed.


They asked if daddy or I wanted to cut the cord and we both declined. Then the nurse asked daddy, what sex is it? He said it's a girl. Me I was already in outer space, I had zoned out from pain. I heard him say 'it's a girl' and i asked, what did you say? He repeated, it's a girl. I smiled and zoned out again.


Baby came around 1.30 and by evening they were using style to ask if we want to go home. I told them I want to stay till morning. We were discharged in the morning. There had been a terrible snowstorm at night, roads were really hazardous that morning. We couldn't even make it home, our car got stuck on our street (about 2 houses away) so I carried baby and walked home while hubby sorted out the car. I will never forget that short walk because the snow got above my knee at a point.


Baby was later diagnosed with jaundice and we played cat and mouse for one week with the possibility of getting readmitted, until I got tired and went to look for unripe pawpaw to buy. I did not see, so I bought a ripe one that was still very green. I cut it up with the skin (later discovered that we were supposed to peel it) and soaked in water. Two days of bathing with the water and we finally passed the jaundice test and were freed.


Whenever I look at my princess I feel so blessed, I can't believe I cried when I found out I was pregnant with this bundle of blessings.


My prayer is that God will bless every desiring home with the laughter of babies. That God will keep all our preggies and grant them self delivery. And that God will give us wisdom to raise our children. Amen.

Bs.

Though I didn't plan this pregnancy. But am glad it came when it Came.
God's plan is always the best.

The Journey was good, having to stay indoors for 8months. Lol
No stress of going to work with Belle and two kids.

First trimester came with its package but it was cool.

Second trimester was okay too.

Third trimester
Lockdown relaxed in Rivers state. I had to resume work at 32 weeks thereabouts- Yea, I cried.
The stress was maddd. But thank God, it was for a month and then holidays.


Labor started at about mid night 24th Dec. I endured it as it was mild. I knew it was labour all the same.

25th Dec, hubby was supposed to be at home, but he was called to show up at work- He had to go after he helped me kill chicken.

I started work- did dishes, fetch water, made breakfast for the kids, bath them and cooked my Christmas food.
All this while the contractions were coming and going. I still endured.
I felt like pooing at a point but I was scared( who will help me if Na pikin come).

After cooking my Christmas food, the next thing was to prepare salad and share food to neighbours, but I was having mixed feelings on how far I could have gone. So I decided to bath and go to the hospital.

I got to the hospital 1:07pm and the matron checked me, she wasn't too sure how far av gone, so she said on the next contraction she will burst the membrane to ascertain it.
She did and said I was 8cm gone. Yeeeaahhh, i was happy Oooo.
I came with few necessary things so she started preparing the place ASAP. I had to call hubby to go home and get my bag.

They set drip on me with contractions still coming and going. It got to the point I couldn't endure the urge to poo, they transferred me to the delivery bed and asked I poo, mbok, I pooed better poo and next My Christmas Gift came out at about past 2 weighing 3.3kg I got a little tear.

She didn't cry and they started working on her, of which she cried after some time.

Placenta was delivered after some time and I received the stitching package. We were cleaned up and taken to the recovery room, then Husband man came with our bag���

Baby was breathing with noise after some time. She was discovered to have inhaled meconium. They placed her on oxygen and God took control. She was okay by next morning.We were discharged.

Thanks to Mommas that always drop B.S. I learnt from it.

God has done me well. I now have 2 girls and a boy.

Baby dust on TTC Mummies, God will remember you.

Safe delivery to all Waddling mamas.

Me haff sign out.

No mama, you don't need doctors prescription. But due to your history I'd suggest you start taking ferrous tabs in addition to up your pcv

Most of the BS for 2020 starts with " i didn't plan this pregnancy ".... plenty miraculous conceptions

Thanks sis. But we're not going anywhere due to covid so we'll sha be wearing our boring unisex clothes for now.

Unripe pawpaw, peel it and cut into pieces. Soak in water. Be taking from the water to bathe baby. For us we use like one bowl (takeaway plate) to dilute the hot water for bathing baby. After 5 days you have to throw the water away and restart.

Another method is peel, cut in pieces, soak for 24 hours then sieve and keep in fridge. You take two spoons daily (if you're breastfeeding), then also use to dilute baby's bath water.
