Fashion Alert: How to dress your baby bump (Jinsi ya kuvaa wakati ukiwa mjamzito)

Welcome back,

Ni siku nyingi tangu nimepost jamani. Namshukuru Mungu mimi ni mzima na ninyi pia. Well tuko kwenye the best season of the year and well what a better time to talk fashion than now eeeh. Okey. So hii post nilitaka niiweke siku nyingi sana ila nikawa nimebarikiwa na kazi nyiingi ila naamini sijachelewa.

Hapa Tanzania watu wengi tunakuwa na tabia ya kuvaa vaa tu tukiwa wajawazito, mitandio inaongezeka, sijui kwanini tunapenda kuficha hizo baraka. Na wakati mwingine tunajichukia sana tukiwa wajawazito na ni kwasababu hatujui kuvaa mavazi ya kutupendeza na yenye heshima.

Naomba nitoe angalizo kwa posti hii. Kama haujisikii kubanwa basi nenda na option ambayo ni loose. Na kama kiatu kirefu hukiwezi basi we vaa tu flat. Ni muhimu kuinvest kwenye materinity dress nzuri maana wengi bado zoezi linaendelea na zinaweza kuwa handy. Ila pia nitapost jinsi unaweza kufanya matenity dress yako ikavaliwa vizuri tu baada ya kujifungua.

Basi for inspiration ya leo, nimemchagua mwanadada Anitha. Ni fashionista hapa Tanzania na akiwa mjamzito well, she doesn't disappoint. Asante Anitha kwa kuniruhusu kutumia picha zako. Be blessed and keep slaying

Jinsi sahihi ya kumlaza mtoto mchanga: Laying down your new born

Habari wapenzi wasomaji wangu.

Naamini wote muwazima na mnaendelea vyema na shughuli zenu.

Mara nying tumekuwa tukisikia mtaani kuwa ukitaka mtoto alale vizuri mlaze kwa TUMBO. Hii imeaminiwa na watu wengi sana.

Mtoto mchanga HAPASWI kulazwa kwa tumbo wala kutumia mito. Mlaze mtoto kwa MGONGO. Hii inapunguza uwezekano wa mtoto kusuffocate (kukosa hewa).

"The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that healthy infants be placed on their backs for sleep, as this is the safest position for an infant to sleep"

Mara nyingi tunasikia mtoto alikufa ghafla usingizini na tunabaki kushangaa kwanini. Mtoto mchanga ni rahisi sana kukosa hewa tofauti na mtu mzima. Akikosa hewa kidogo tu basi amefariki.
Jinsi ya kumsaidia mtoto kupata usingizi haraka:

1. Hakikisha mtoto amekula akashiba
2. Hakikisha ni mkavu, mbadili nepi kabla ya kulala
3. Hakikisha mtoto amecheua. Hii inaondoa gesi tumboni inayosababisha mtoto kuumwa na tumbo. Baada ya kula kuwa na muda wa kutosha kumcheulisha mtoto.
4. Wakati unambembeleza muimbie taratibu alale
5. Ondoa vitu ambavyo vinaweza kumkosesha hewa mtoto kitandani. Mfunge vizuri na blanket au baby shawl. Weka midoli mbali na mtoto akiwa amelala
6. Unaweza kumfanyia massage tumboni na miguuni taratibu akiwa analala
7. Hakikisha mtoto hafunikwi sana akapata sana joto au akaachwa kufunikwa akasikia baridi
8. Tumia muda wa mchana mwingi kucheza na mtoto ili alale zaidi usiku

Wishing you happy parenting.

Baby Blues: Huzuni baada ya kupata mtoto

Habari wapenzi wasomaji..

Naamini muwazima. Hii mada inaweza kuonekana ni ya utata ila ni ukweli. Kama haijakutokea wewe imemtokea yule.

Kwa wengi wetu swala la mtoto ni furaha na huwazi kama kunaweza kukawa na depressions...na wazungu waimeita hii hali "Baby Blues". Ila ikiwa zaidi inaitwa Postnatal Depression (PND).

Hali hii ya "baby blues" inawatokea wanawake 8 kati ya 10 ya wanaopata mtoto. Hali hii inakuaje?

• Unakuwa na mashaka kuhusu hali ya mtoto hata kama mtoto ni mzima wa afya
• Kuwa na hali ya wasiwasi kila wakati (Anxiety)
• Kuwa na hali ya kukosa umakini (Unable to concentrate)
• Unasikia kuchoka na unashindwa kulala
• Kulia bila sababu

Je inasababishwa na nini?

• Mabadiliko ya homoni kwenye mwili hasa ile wiki ya kujifungua hasa homoni ya adrenaline
• Hisia za wajibu wa kuwa mzazi nazo zinaweza kusababisha hali hii
• Unapotoka hospitali na unapogundua kuwa kweli sasa umekuwa mzazi na majukumu ni yako hii inaweza kuzidi hasa unapokuwa single parent..na hii inaweza kusababisha hali hii
• Kutokujua jinsi ya kumlea mtoto wako inaweza kusababisha hali hii. Unapochoka sana na hupati usingizi na kuchoka kwa sababu pia huna msaidizi inaweza kusababisha hali hii

Je hali hii inakaa kwa muda gani?

Huu si ugonjwa na hivyo kutokana na mazingira inaweza kuwepo kwa masaa au siku kadhaa. Ukipata mapumziko ya kutosha na msaada kutoka kwa familia na ukipata mtu wa kukutia moyo basi hali hii huisha yenyewe bila kumuona daktari

Ila hali hii ikiendelea kwa miezi ni vyema kumuona daktari inawezekana una depression ya baada ya uzazi

Je nawezaje kumsaidia mtu mwenye hali hii?

1. Msaidie kupanga timetable ya kipi kifanyike kipi kiachwe
2. Msaidie kuandaa chakula 
3. Mtie moyo apumzike sana
4. Mueleze kuwa yeye ni mama mzuri
5. Punguza wageni wanaomuona
6. Akitaka kulia muache alie
7. Msikilize.
8. Usimwambie asilie mbele ya mtoto ajikaze tu maana ndo ukubwa. Hii haimsaidii inamfanya azidi kujiona ni mama mbaya na inaongeza hali kuwa mbaya

Je kama ni mimi nifanyeje?

Hali hii ilinitokea na nikwambie ukweli si rahisi.

1. Omba, mwambie Mungu akusaidie uweze kulea mtoto vizuri na aondoe hiyo hali, yeye ndo amekuumba anaijua hiyo hali
2. Omba mtu akusaidie kukaa na mtoto unapojisikia unahali hii ili upumzike na ulie vizuri
3. Lia, kama unataka kulia lia sana
4. Sema unavyojisikia, usiweke mambo ndani
5. Badili activities pale unapojisikia vibaya fanya kitu unachopenda...mimi ilikuwa kuangalia movie.

Welcome to the world: Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana

Good Morning lovely readers,



Ok, when royals get a baby the whole world knows and we share the happiness. Nitakuwa mchoyo nisipowapongeza Duke and Duchess of Cambridge kwa kupata their little princess.

Name trend ya kuita majina mengi ya mtoto kabla ya jina la baba naona inashika kasi.

Jambo ambalo limekuwa gumzo kwenye dunia ya wakina mama ni jinsi Duchess Kate alivyotokelezea amependeza baada ya kujifungua.


Fabulous after birth. Look smart one blogger mentioned that putting your self smart soon after birth can help you feel good after all the hard work.

Wiki njema kwako

Exercises during pregnancy

Hello dear readers,

 I hope you had a great weekend. So I have talked about healthy lifestyle and I believe exercises are also very helpful. In pregnancy in particular they really helpful.

Exercise does wonders during pregnancy. It boosts mood, improves sleep, and reduces pregnancy aches and pains. It helps prevent and treat gestational diabetes and may keep preeclampsia at bay. It prepares you for childbirth by strengthening muscles and building endurance, and makes it much easier to get back in shape after your baby's born.

Exercise is so beneficial during pregnancy that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends pregnant women exercise at least 30 minutes a day most days of the week. The ideal workout gets your heart pumping, keeps you limber, manages weight gain, and prepares your muscles without causing undue physical stress for you or the baby.

If you have a medical problem, such as asthma, heart disease or diabetes, exercise may not be advisable. Exercise may also be harmful if you have an obstetric condition such as:

• Bleeding or spotting

• Low placenta

• Threatened or recurrent miscarriage

• A history of early labor

• Previous premature births

• Weak cervix

4 cardiovascular exercises for moms-to-be

• Walking: One of the best cardiovascular exercises for pregnant women, walking keeps you fit without jarring your knees and ankles. It's also easy to do almost anywhere, doesn't require any equipment beyond a good pair of supportive shoes, and is safe throughout all nine months of pregnancy.

• Swimming: Healthcare providers and fitness experts hail swimming as the best and safest exercise for pregnant women. Swimming is ideal because it exercises both large muscle groups (arms and legs), provides cardiovascular benefits, and allows expectant women to feel weightless despite the extra pounds of pregnancy.

• Low-impact aerobics: Aerobic exercise strengthens your heart and tones your body. And if you take a class for pregnant women, you'll enjoy the camaraderie of other moms-to-be and feel reassured that each movement is safe for you and your baby.

• Dancing: You can get your heart pumping by dancing to your favorite tunes in the comfort of your own living room, with a DVD, or at a dance class, but steer clear of routines that call for leaps, jumps, or twirls.

Consult your health care provider before beginning an exercise program. Your health care provider can offer personalized exercise guidelines, based on your medical history.

Pregnancy : DO and DON'T

Hello dear readers,

Nina furaha leo kumaliza sehemu hii ya mwisho ya DOs and DON'Ts. Naamini zimekuwa msaada sana kwako na rafiki yako na mke wako. Naomba Mungu akutunze.

•  Don’t eat swordfish, king mackerel, shark, and tilefish, which are high in mercury. 

•  Avoid contact with rodents and with their urine, droppings, or nesting material. This includes household pests and pet rodents, such as guinea pigs and hamsters. Rodents can carry a virus that can be harmful or even deadly to your unborn baby. 

•  Don’t take very hot baths or use hot tubs or saunas. High temperatures can be harmful to the fetus, or cause you to faint. 

•  Don’t use scented feminine hygiene products. Pregnant women should avoid scented sprays, sanitary napkins, and bubble bath. These products might irritate your vaginal area, and increase your risk of a urinary tract infection or yeast infection. 

•  Don’t douche. Douching can irritate the vagina, force air into the birth canal and increase the risk of infection. (Hii naomba uisome vizuri mtandaoni. Kwa kifupi ni pale mtu anapotumia maji na vinegar kusafisha sehemu za siri na kuna ambazo zimetengenezwa special kwenye supermarkets)

•  Avoid x-rays. If you must have dental work or diagnostic tests, tell your dentist or physician that you are pregnant so that extra care can be taken.

Nakutakia kila la kheri. Tafadhali mwambie rafiki yako habari hii apite hapa apate faida

Pregnancy DOs and DON'Ts

Hello lovely readers,

It has been a great Easter holiday and I am happy to be back on your screen today. Nimekuwa kimya ila mambo ni mema na mazuri.

Ningependa this post na ijayo tumalizie pregnancy DON'Ts.

1. Don’t smoke tobacco. Quitting is hard, but you can do it! Ask your doctor for help. Smoking during pregnancy passes nicotine and cancer-causing drugs to your baby. Smoking also keeps your baby from getting needed nourishment and raises the risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, and infant death. 
2.  Avoid exposure to toxic substances and chemicals, such as cleaning solvents, lead and mercury, some insecticides, and paint. Pregnant women should avoid exposure to paint fumes. 
3.  Protect yourself and your baby from food borne illness, which can cause serious health problems and even death. Handle, clean, cook, eat, and store food properly. 
4.  Don’t drink alcohol. There is no known safe amount of alcohol a woman can drink while pregnant. Both drinking every day and drinking a lot of alcohol once in a while during pregnancy can harm the baby. 
5.  Don’t use illegal drugs. Tell your doctor if you are using drugs. Marijuana, cocaine, heroin they are very dangerous for you and your baby

Have a great day
