Nellyd: Thnx my sister. My doc said 1 yr but dats really far. But i'll hv to wait cos its getting to 5 months now. Thnx.Try to hold on some more months then dear. If you get pregnant again too soon it may put both you and the baby at risk. Give your body some time to heal and strengthen again so that it can be ready when you conceive. I know this is easier said than done, but by the grace of God it shall be well with you and you will be sharing your story of success with us in the near future. Amen. |

avatur: Nothing more than the usual sciatic nerve thing (the one that results from the pressure from the fetus on a nerve) it affects the lower back, butt and thighs. Its pretty painful ESP when you've been sitting for a while and then stand up. See this link http://m.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/symptoms-and- Thank you, mine is just like that. |

@agiboma, am in Lagos, Surulere. I heard lagos state doctors are even on strike, that means I will have to try a private clinic, which I guess may be more expensive. Please, how do I know if my baby is doing fine(hubby says he knows the baby is fine), I feel more enrgetic these days, except for the fact that I get dehydrated often and also use the rest room so many times, i dont really feel preg again, am 15 weeks + 2 days today. I dont wanna go for scan, dont know why, lol. |

I dont wanna go for scan, dont know why, lol. Just go for one scan first so that you know that the baby is developing fine then just continue with your multivites. I am farther along than you but i am yet to start my classes as well though i have done a scan and now have my EDD. |

afrobaby: I presently use pregnacare, omega 3,6,9 and still take 400mg folic acid. From my first pregnancy, i noticed that the more folic acid i took the better my skin and hair looked. I asked my doctor and he said 400mg is a minimum amount and 800mg is still very good. |

I have a confession! I have not been taking my vitamins oh. But I eat well. All least 4 servings of fresh fruits and green vegetables everyday. I take skimmed milk for the calcium. Baby is doing well so far. I just can't stand the drugs. Are night mares normal? |
| Re: Pregnancy Are You Pregnant Or Going Through A High Risk Pregnancy,,lets Talk by Ib(f): 6:56pm On Apr 26, 2012 |
@ mogbomoya....nightmares are perfectly normal. I had the most ridiculous nightmares from hanging out with aliens to having sex with Rick Ross...lol. My husband marvelled at some of the nightmares i relayed to him, they were so random and spooky. Just last week i had a dream that my mucus plug came out in form of an 8-legged slimy creature urgghh! |
| Re: Pregnancy Are You Pregnant Or Going Through A High Risk Pregnancy,,lets Talk by Otosdd: 6:59pm On Apr 26, 2012 |

recruitmnt: Thank you, mine is just like that.Yeah its pretty normal and expected as it turns out. The weight of all that goodness in ur tummy will surely have an effect  . I find it worst when I sit on the couch and lie a bit to the side, I can barely walk when I get up after that, so painful.@Agiboma, thanks snr sister! you're really a godsend for all the good work and encouragement you give on this thread. Pls give us brief updates on how things are at the clinic anytime .mogbomoya: I have a confession!Lol. I feel you sister. I have tried to be religious in taking the pills, I hate them too but I keep reminding myself that its not for me  . The vitamins are a sure-fire way to ensure you're not missing anything. I do forget tho and miss a day here n there.Are night mares normal?Lol. As others have said, very normal. I've lost count. Even my husband self has had a couple weird ones. The last one he had, we all wanted to see the baby so bad so we simply opened my stomach (like a door) and took the baby out, then put it back in when we were done!  freaky stuff. |

@Avatur, things are great today we saw a woman she had high bp prior to pregnancy, she should have been 9 weeks pregnant but the baby died in her womb, so she was having a miscarriage. What I am going to say now may sound mean, but she already has a few kids and I think that should console her. The medications she is on is not working to control the bp as it is still very very high. When the sonographer told me the baby was dead i thought to myself this is the best thing that could have happen to this woman please dont get me wrong. The last woman i know that had hypertension prior to pregnancy was going into heart failure at 12 weeks gestation she manage to hold on till 28 weeks when they finally delivered her little girl. This woman was taking 64 pills a day to stay alive and prevent her heart from shutting down. Now she was in the UK so that is why her and baby are alive today. But i am afraid this is not available in Nigeria. For this woman i dont think she should chance it again just enjoy the 4 lovely kids she already has. This blood pressure and pregnancy is a serious thing and people just dont take it as such and they really should. For me its a topic that is all to personal and close to my heart. . What would you tell this woman? Do you think my assumptions are to harsh? |

Hello Agiboma, Thank you for creatng this thread. I have been following this thread for some time and have read from pages 0-15. all this while i nevere knew that i am pregnant. i went for confirmatiion yesterday and got a POSITIVE. EDD is in December 2012 by God's Grace. My husband is not with me here in Abuja, he is in Lagos. Using the Kathyekiti thread, i used it to calculate my ovulation period and fixed my leave for that period. so here i am with a little one inside me. I read somewhere that even if one make love during one's ovulation, one may not get pregnant. i used prayers to support mine and God is faithful to me. God bless those of you who shared their stories for others to learn from and the creators of these threads. I hope to continue to follow the thread and ask a few questions like when to start going for antenatal, what vitamins to be taking (i have been taking folic acid since Nov 2011....been TTC for about 10months), what to eat and what not to eat. very warm regards. |

Ladies, do you think being pregnant in naija is harder than being abroad? Ive observed that more ladies complain of headaches, extreme nausea, high bp and other ailments. Is that the case or am i being silly. I know that woman abroad go thru difficulties in pregnancies...im not naive but it seems that in naija, its even more stressful. |

It depends, I was in the UK during my last pregnancy, am in Nigeria now and being in Nigeria is way better for me because I have lots of support from family. The medical care abroad is incomparable but with money in Nigeria, you can get very good medical care. So about the extreme nausea, headaches, etc, it was worse for me abroad. |

For me its a topic that is all to personal and close to my heart.Honestly, I don't think I could do/say any better than you have. You're definitely right her pain will not be as strong as someone who doesn't have any kids, but I bet it'll hurt just as much  at least I think that's how I'd feel. But as it was a threat to her health in the big picture it seems 'better' that the baby passed. 4 kids is already an incredible blessing no question. After I'm done with #3 by God's grace, my husband & I plan to adopt our last child. So many children already in the world that need parents.Keep up the good work sister and I mean it, pls give us regular updates/stories so we can all learn and possibly use to teach others. Godbless! |

My doctor told me to expect them as it was common during the 2nd tri so I was prepared. I was prescribed tylenol PM but I refused to take any (I'm just adverse to taking any pills unless I absolutely have to). I found relief by wrapping my head in ice using a towel and lying down, sometimes cutting out all noise and light. It was temporary but enough to relive the pain. I hope you feel better!

Is that the case or am i being silly. I know that woman abroad go thru difficulties in pregnancies...im not naive but it seems that in naija, its even more stressful.Its subjective I think. Just simply due to the incredible medical facilities and care available abroad, pregnancy is bound to be better cared for for most women. Naija is full of stress. lol. No power, no peace, no quiet, traffic etc etc more stress makes for a more difficult pregnancy. I spent months 3-4 of my pregnancy in africa, the last 2 weeks of it in Nigeria and while it was fun, I could see how it would've been a whole lot more difficult especially if one has difficulties/complications with the pregnancy. I was suffering from severe MS when I travelled - threw up the entire flight, the flight attendants felt so sorry for me lol. But once I landed in Africa, the warm air, the smiling faces, the beautiful peaceful serene beaches, the delicious food... while I was still constantly sick, I definitely benefitted from the change in environment. I think all pregnant women should be flown to a private island to simply relax in a peaceful environment while being taken care of by their partners 1 Like |

bolseas: Hello Agiboma,Congratulations sister! and welcome to the club lol. I pray you have a smooth and successful pregnancy. Amen! I started taking pre-natal vitamins (the generic ones with a whole list of vitamins including folic) from about week 5 once I found out I was carrying and started routine doctor visits from week 12. Here (boston) visits were once a month (as long as there was no problem/complication) until the 3rd trimester then its every 2weeks and then weekly as the due date approaches. |

hello all.. I have been busy with work (while taking it easy) since work folks are not aware of my present state. For those having headaches (luckly i have not had any) my sister had them during her preg. and her Dr adviced her take a half a can of cocacola before trying any other meds (something about the gas in it helps to relive the headaches) it worked for her. Also I have not had very few episodes of nausea since monday. someone told me about eating ginger and it worked well for keeping the nausea away. so i snack on ginger cookies (low sugar ones) and drink ginger tea when i feel nausea coming on. @agiboma... i support your position on the case of the woman with the high BP. it will be sad for her to risk having another baby and the expense of the other 4 being motherless. 1 Like |
