I visited my Obgyn today to remove some stitches from my C-sec wound. It was an unplanned visit. We had gone to the hospital to check on the baby but my Obgyn’s nurses spotted me and informed me that instead of coming back again, I might as well remove my stitches today.

Now if you knew me, you’d know that any form of medical related procedure would send my head spinning into the Grand Canyon. What more, I was out with my newborn on uncharted territory. You’d think that just because this is your second time round having a baby that you’d be an expert on moving around with a baby? Well, think again because I didn’t even THINK of bringing a diaper bag along. It was the Hubs who had the foresight to ask last night, “What if she poops while we’re out?”

“OHHhhhhh. Yes indeed, what if she does poop whilst we’re out…..”

I agreed to the nurses that I’ll see my Obgyn amidst lots of deep breathes.

The moment I stepped into my Obgyn’s clinic, the nurses hovered around me like Mother Hens in shock. Why aren’t you covered up? I was wearing a spaghetti strapped dress and more Mother Henning ensued. Puck, puck, puck, puck!!! My aunty confinement lady who stood beside me with baby, added to the spice by telling them how disobedient I’d been not wanting to follow confinement rules and would you believe what one of them said?

“With Mamapumpkin, you really need to get a cane!”

So my aunty confinement lady ties what is my breastfeeding hood scarf around my neck so I resemble a pregnant Superman with the flying cape behind to shield my back and shoulders from the cold air-conditioning and when I enter to see my lovely Obgyn, I embarrassingly explain that the only reason I’m wearing this unfashionable piece of cloth on my neck is because HER nurses had complained that I wasn’t covered up enough. She laughed and reassured me that she was on my side and did not have any problems with me clad in anything from Vogues latest fall collection.

After crawling up the observation table with great trepidation, my Doctor announces regrettably that my current range of InStyle bikini panties were cutting into my wound and that I needed to stop wearing them and get some Grandma panties instead. *gulp* Then she goes on about how I needed to apply aloe vera gel on my wound, how I could start having a shower today as long as I blow dry my wound with a hair dryer and then where to get cheap Grandma panties from, or alternatively sized XXXL disposable panties. *gulp*

“OK, it’s done.”

“Huh? What’s done?”

“Your stitches….they’re off.”

“Huh? Where?”

I didn’t feel a single thing. My Doctor…..she’s good. Totally distracted me while she went on with her work.

So back to Grandma panties…..

The Hubs has the lovely task of shopping for some Grandma panties tomorrow. We went looking around for XXXL disposable panties but the largest they came in was L and although we bought a pack to try, sad to say the entire panty only fitted one leg.

Grandma panties, y’all!!! I’m rocking to start a trend!!!

Here’s another teaser of the new Bubs:

Some of you were quite sharp and noted that the first baby photo I posted was actually Tee, haha…..tricked the rest of you. The above is the real T2……quite different from Tee 🙂

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
