Alhamdulillah i was able to eat all things during pregnancy
Its ok to be off food in ur pregnancy keep taking vits and u should be fine.
I was good with fruit in the beginning i dont really eat much fruit now but alhamdulillah baby is well.
Has anyone set up their nursery yet? For those near EDD, if so would u mind sharing ideas? Im so confused!
Re: Moms 2014
I’m not near my EED yet but have been thinking about the nursery - actually thinking whether or not to make one yet. I imagined baby would sleep in her own room, but every. single. person is saying baby should sleep with you for at least the first few months, before even thinking of putting her in another room.
I saw a friend’s nursery on FB and she had this cool rocking chair - it has a footstool which moves back and forth and it’s a nice comfy chair in which you can do your night feeds. Want one 
Re: Moms 2014
Pinterest is the best place to find inspiration Also check out project nursery. Some awesome inspiration there as well.
We will co sleep with baby so I won’t be setting up a nursery, plus my other kids need their big kid room
Re: Moms 2014
how r u ppl?
Moms 2014
Inshallah she will sleep with me for the first few months, but eventually i will put her in her cot in nursery, this really freaks out the elderly women in my family who insists she must sleep in my bed forever!
On a sep note do u guys gt tired of all the advice from elderly women, whilst i really appreciate it some pieces of advice really help but the constant opinions on how i should raise my child really annoy me!!
For example labour ki pain lay lani chahiye, they are so against epidural
Baby shouldnt sleep alone
Baby should only be breastfed
Baby should b fed roti salan chawal wen weaned off milk
Constant comparisons between kids
So so annoying!!!
Re: Moms 2014
Mizzrani than what’s wrong in all of the above. Mothers must breast feed their babies at least for first 6months. Weaning off with Roti salan is also a good advise. Relax n take their advises positively.
Re: Moms 2014
Aww, play it cool - just keep in mind that these folks (mostly) mean well. You are in charge here, and know what’s best for your child.
As for epidural.. it makes me soooo mad that women are made to feel guilty for opting for pain relief!! I totally respect women who go in for a completely natural painkiller-free birth, but it’s not for everyone. All my friends with babies opted for an epidural and they tell me it was the best decision ever. Stick to your guns, and make sure your hubby is on board as well. No one else should have a say in your birth plan!
Re: Moms 2014
It’s fine … you can’t really do anything but smile and nod right?
In the end you will do what works for YOU and your baby, baaki sab bhaar mein jaye.
Re: Moms 2014
MUST is a big word when it comes to breast feeding. All a woman MUST do is love her kid and take care of it, and that can take many forms, including breast feeding OR formula feeding. Nursing isn’t natural, by any means, nor is it easy or something that most women can accomplish successfully.
Mizzrani, do what YOU feel is best for your child and you will know what that is when she’s here. Sure, older women mean well but it doesn’t mean you have to take every piece of advice given to you and make it your personal mantra, or that they’re always right. Your baby, your rules. End of story.
I co-slept with mine out of convenience mainly. He moved into a crib and his room at 11 months. That’s what suited us best. I know friends whose kids have been in their rooms from day 1 and they’re just fine too.
Re: Moms 2014
SGC being a doctor im saying this. Its not my personal advise to the mothers. Medical science is saying this. Rest is on everybodys choice.
Re: Moms 2014
Everyone knows that there’s nothing better for a baby than breast milk. But if you’re not able to do it, for whatever reason, you shouldn’t be left feeling guilty about it. Formula is perfectly fine as well. I remember, with my first when I was having the hardest time nursing her and eventually started giving her formula, I caught myself apologizing to other people (yeah I know!!!) about it and feeling so guilty!!! She’s a totally healthy and happy child alhamdulilah. There are honestly other things we should focus on than breast milk vs formula. I think last thing a new mom needs is to feel guilty about her choices.
Re: Moms 2014
Totally agree Wendy
Moms 2014
As i said i am happy to take advise, but i dislike the attitude given when u dont follow the advice
My poor sil was forced to not have an epidural and equally given hard time about not breastfeeding, she tried but it just didnt work out
U guys are right i will do what i think is best inshallah
Also whilst breastmilk is beneficial, theres nothing wrong with formula and no mother must be made to feel guilty about her decisions
Anyhow, hope everyone is doing well and we all have happy healthy naik kids soon inshallah
