this scan thing done dey tire me self. did a scan some mnths back nd was told me edd is 5th sept. did anodr again yesterday at 23wks 3 days (says scan) nd was told its 28th august plus d fact dt i belong to team blue. dnt knw what to blv cos as at d tym i went for scan my calculation was 22wks 5days. shuould i rely on d scan or what my calc says?

Go with the first one. This is because earlier ultrasounds are more accurate than later ones for the calculating EDD as fetus grow at the pretty much a uniform eat earlier in pregnancies. As pregnancy progresses, babies can have a different growth rate, this is why doctors usually go by your earlier ultrasound and most won't change your due date except if there is a difference of 2 or more weeks

But here it's far diff b beta pls Wats d secret behind dis?

MsPat:
Hi everyone, how body? Se awon players n kick wella? Nobody even find me....na so i bad reach?

Anyway....the twins have started with Nan o, before they ll suck me dry! And the good news is they sleep longer at night so it's a win-win for me i can sleep more and my bobbies can have peace !

MIL has gone back, momsie don resume her own duty, i can't come and die!

Abeg i get small question o.....what is meant by bad blood in pregnancy? It happened to one woman i know, she's had two babies- both dead . After birth, the baby will stay for some days and then just die like that. Pele then said that the woman has bad blood and that she ought to take certain injections after birth . So what is bad blood?

Maybe they are referring to the woman's blood group. If she is rhesus negative, there are some injections she ought to take in order to preserve the baby and avoid fetal death.

See what nairaland is doing to me. It only opens at midnight. Throughout the day, its been giving me redirect error issues. Seun, ure denying me from enjoying my favourite thread o. Not fair

#TeamJuly mamas hope you all are fine? After team june, we are next o

What happened to thread cuties today now? All mamas have ported to the newborn thread? Its time we start invading that thread and drag them out here to share their LO pics. Una nor want make we see cuties and get inspiration abi?

@nazablossom Congrats dear. Kisses to your LO!

Zimunachimdi, Pele dear. You sure dh thing nor mistakenly touch pepper for your kitchen? Lol. Just kidding. You really need the kpekusing so delivery can be easy and smooth. Like one mama told me this week, she said allow your dh to be swimming inside to avoid what is called cephalopelvic disproportion.

@mum Zaynie, i was just thinking of you and your dues this afternoon. E never reach to open business name and corporate account? Make we turn am to correct business now. I'll help you collect the dues but you'll oversee it. At the end of the month, we'll split profit

JUMAYIN:

Wao, that's fast or should I say cool.

Lol
No mind me.
I have a big tommy, wide pelvic
Don't think I will show till 6months.... Kikikik
Although am just 5"4 in height so might end up showing quicker.

Happy bumping.

Godmother:


No be only you o. I felt it a week back but didn't say anything to anyone cos I felt it was too early. Other moms here have been talking about their Los kicking and I felt my mind was playing tricks on me as me I'm anxious to experience it too.

In other news

It depends on the type of anaesthesia that was used for the woman. This spinal anaesthesia administered these days allows the woman to be conscious but it will only numb a part of her body so she doesn't feel any pain during the CS. It effects wanes very soon. If it's the other general anaesthesia that sends the woman to complete sleep, it takes longer hours for the effects to wane.

So what is bad blood?

It's the woman's rhesus factor they mean. If the woman's rhesus factor is negative and her baby's own is positive, it can lead to the babies death.This is because her body sees her baby's blood as foreign (harmful)substance and will produce antibodies to fight it. During delivery, these antibodies are passed to her baby which will later destroy her baby's red blood cells very fast. Red blood cells carry oxygen and without enough of it, babies die. An injection is usually given to such women to stop them from producing antibodies.

Congrats Nazablossom.. Good morning all!

C

That each time you get checked (to see how dilated you are) it gets more painful each time! VE is no Joke!


That screaming the roof down during contraction is energy sapping. Save your energy for the main job

That even if you have it all planned out, await the unexpected.

I wish someone had told someone that Cs is also not a death sentence.
In all Sis, cast your fears to God. If I say e no dey pain, na lie. I can't wait to come and chop jollof rice and rub powder. I wish you a smooth and easy delivery.

So sorry dear. Have you tried eating cucumber as suggested? No wonder uve been mia. There's nothing impossible for Jehovah to do. I trust things will turn around before you get to 34 weeks. Just try not to worry too much and stay positive. We'll keep you in our prayers.
