Wapi Picha?

I hate it when women fear breastfeeding.
Breasts serve two purposes.Foreplay and milk.
Foreplay got you pregnant but now roles have changed.Please give the baby its share and you will reduce your visits to the clinic for small ailments.

If you are responsible enough to get pregnant then you must be responsible to bring up the baby.Truth is kuzaa sio kazi.Be prepared to sacrifice your sleep and social life and beauty routine. to some extent.

Staying up all night is no big deal.You get used to it. Besides if you have an understanding partner it gets much easier.

The challenge for new mommies is,you spend the whole night awake and the whole day receiving visitors.Then depression slowly kicks in.

Just be psychologically prepared and you will enjoy it.
Wish you the best.

Advice of The Year!

I usually avoid visiting new mommies during the first 2 months because I know the stress associated.
Her body is weak,she is up the whole night,the baby's cries drive her crazy,her hormones are all over the place and you expect her to sit relax and chat?
It is unfair.I can only excuse the shags delegation because there is no way of explaining such.

But most town dwellers lack manners.
They will accompany the new mother home from maternity and sit waiting to be served.
And everyday from work they will be her house to see the baby and EAT her mukimo or porridge.LOL!
Give her space to recover or else she falls into post partum depression.
And you ask why mothers cry when babies cry?

Congratulations,pray that all goes well.EDD? March 4th?

@ Querry, Congrats.
To be a mother is a most wonderful thing. I think one of the best things to be in life.
I would not be so worried about not getting morning sickness et al. Look at it as an immense blessing! I did not suffer morning sickness or funny cravings at all and i generally enjoyed my pregnancies. I will not lie though, the weight is quite something and i often joke that my back has never recovered.
And my dear, you will be responsible enough, you are already seeking for information. Just purpose before your child is born to be a good mother. God honours that.
Breastfeeding is a very good thing and increases the bonding with the child. And sometimes with your jealous spouse too..

Now, When baby comes, please set the routine for your child. Do not let him/her control what is day & night. Now, something i was taught and which worked for my children. Wash the baby at night -like around 9pm (of course heat up the room and all), massage the child then breastfeed. You will all sleep till about 5am. Then at night, diminish the light in your room. If it is night, use a low watt side lamp to luminate. A child can only learn night & day from you. If you leave all lights on, you confuse the child.
Hope my small tips help

thanks for your reply; same way i'd say i fear the labour process- doesn't mean i will not go through it.
