Please I need some advice.

Wifey has been 2months pregnant,she isn't feeling fine at all.we were in the hospital yesterday,she was attended to by the doctor,yet as at this morning,she isn't feeling fine..


She complains of headache,and general body weakness..

1.Please what can I do to help her,cos it seems she's undergoing pains despite the doctor's prescription which she takes regularly.

2. Is it normal to have this symptoms of headache,and general body weakness during pregnancy?

3.Which home remedies aside drugs or medication can I give her to help her before my mum comes around later today.

The first 3 months suck something major. Especially if it's the first pregnancy. In my case, my Lady was pregnant for 2 months plus before we knew as we were just too busy. We thot her "illness" was stress related. Trust me, that period was one of the worst of our lives

I don't think there is anything medically you can do and if there is, I don't think you should. She needs as much rest as possible. Take the load of her as much as you can. Do the cooking if possible. Keep her as stress free as you can. Generally, just be there for her. After the first trimester, she should be a lot better.

By the way, why is your mum coming to stay?

Ok. Fear thou not. These things shall pass. Just comfort her as much as you can. Is this your first?

Forgive me but I am laffing my head off right now!!!! Welcome to the club. Console yourself with the thot that you are doing better than Chelsea (except if you are a Chelsea fan. Then you own na double wahala for deadi bodi)

Download the app My Pregnancy Today. It's a great app to help you both umderstand what is happening, what to expect and what you can do about it. But everything she is going through now is perfectly normal. If it wasn't, the doctor would have said so. I believe it's worse in the mornings and evenings so rush through as much work as you can in the afternoons so you can comfort her. It's just a phase.

yes,she felt better yesterday morning,only to develop feverish condition in the evening..

I will download it..I swear she's sleeping now,I have made pap for her to take.

Not easy bro,thanks.

e yah. But this is pregnancy. I used to wake up with headaches and sleep with headaches.

Maybe something is triggering her headaches like smells (even perfumed soap is craze-inducing). Why not take a load off her, no cooking or cleaning
Just sit with her and maybe cuddle and watch a movie. Help her to the bathroom to clean up after she throws up. Give her dry bread or crackers to. keep. some food in her stomach. Talk about the baby, discuss names, rub her feet. Keep the room cool.
There's no cure for MS so buckle up
And don't abandon her to your mum. She needs you, not your MiL.

What's MS?

morning sickness

Morning Sickness

it takes a lot of hormones to make a child... her body is making the hormones that will help your child to developed and grow, that's why she is feeling so poor..... i don't know why the doctor gave her medication, as this "sickness" is normal. what does she needs is rest and plenty of liquids... and if she cannot hold water or tea, juices, try non-alcohol beer- it's working for some of us and it doesn't affect the baby!

For her vomitting,try crackers biscuit first thing in the morning before brushing her teeth.Then let her rest properly.
don't make her eat what she doesn't want to.
This will ease on the vomitting.
Then let her take warm glasses of milk as she can tolerate.
Take it one day at a time and keep ur visits to d doctor's regular incase she needs fluid (that is if the vomitting gets too much).
One day at a time brother! one day at a time!

pls get her ginger tea,it eases morning sickness. get her lots of fruits/farm fresh yogurt to suit her system so the puking can reduce. Pls encourage her to eat slowly and chew every bit well before swallowing, and After eating make sure she sits upright. pls encourage her not to take any drugs for now so her body can begin to adapt to her growing baby. don't worry it will pass in the 12th week,but don't allow this affect your job,cos when baby finally comes bills full ground. just make sure your fridge is stocked with all the stuffs wifey needs while you are at work.. encourage her to be strong!!

And nobody to stay home with her,cos she's very weak.

Nw you know to be a woman isn't beans abi,even the chores go tell you say we dey try.. take care

She'll be fine, just pregnancy blues. I'm goin thru same now(my 2nd though) taking water melon, amstel malt n yoghurt helps me alot.

Laugh wan finish me here. See as this daddy dey para left and right. E go better,u hear? Na wetin u put there dey react.

You mean all women pass through this? Including our grand moms in the village? You mean they all ate crackers biscuit as been suggested on this thread?




Your wife will be perfectly fine joor. So many single moms survived it without a physically present "dad." Just do your best sir, she'll come out strong.

Don't even think of any home remedies. It might complicates the forming stage. This is her first trimester,and times like this she'll feel more pain cos of the process of formation. All you need do is to be there for her. There'll be constant nagging, complains and all sort of that, just ignore them and focus on the baby you'll be having together. Constant ante- natal should not be ignored. And follow whatever the doctor says. By the second trimester you'll enjoy her. Congrats on your new bundle of Joy.

Yomieluv:
yes.

Is she pregnant with twins. Twin pregnancy is hell. I used to vomit even when I drank water. I lost a lot of weight when I was pregnant

Yomieluv how is your wife doing?

Apart from the paracetamol I want to believe the doc gave her folic acid and something for the vomiting. If she vomits to the point of being so weak she cannot stand up and move around then maybe you should consult the doctor again.

Like others have told you on this thread na so e dey be. This phase will pass. Other phases will come.

Goodluck.

Get her pregnacare, it'll give her d essential vitamins she needs daily .and help with appetite too,help her with house chores at d same time talk to her to pull herself together,pregnancy will weigh her down and make 1 appear as a sickler wen u don't pull ursef and determine to be strong, else naso she go dey sick till she born,let her understand u're no complaining but what if she's working and need to get to work too
