Cryin seriously


Nt registered for ante-natal, went 2 d clinic wit mum dis mornin, in my own opinion, I hav always wanted a private hospital bt hrd sm news dat got me mad, ok, we got 2 d health centre, got card and all, askd us 2 seat and wait 4 d dr, waied 4 abt 1hr, mum wz furious, stood up and one of us seated said she overheard one of dem said, dey will wait till 4eva, can u imagine dat? Very simple, dey will tell us Drs are nt in
Mum wz pissed and wz lyk, let's go 2 a private hosp, along d way, we saw one airforce clinic, bt askd us 2 come on thurs 4 registration

So now, I want 2 ask if I shld go ahead wit d airforce clinic or private hospital, dere r rili gd private hospitals arnd me

recruitmnt: I'm really worried, hoping that my baby weighs a well because I've practically spent more time in hospital than out of it.

About the carbonated drinks, in my 1st trimester, I could only eat boiled eggs and sprite. My doctor actually told me to take it easy on the sprite esp when I started bleeding at 13 weeks (threatened abortion). By I was still secretly taking in small amounts cos I felt I would die if I didn't. Am not saying you should do the same oh, but confirm from your gynae, if it makes you feel better and you don't have any other predisposing factors that make it dangerous to your body, he might let you take it.

Hmmmn, a bit of my own story..will share it fully when I deliver. I've been on bedrest since 13 weeks, my waters broke and I developed an infection, was told the only chance I had was to terminate, developed preterm labor. Leakage stopped, had cerclage...was transferred from hospital to hospital till I found the one that accepted me. My consultant and all the other docs still call me mama miracle. In all his years of practice he said he hasn't seen a case like mine. I am indeed a miracle. Still on bedresr right now, and my maid that has been helping me said she's leaving tomorrow. I don't know how ill cope but God that has brought me this far will see me to the end IJN.

Btw, I had a previous loss at 24weeks in the UK, spent some time with my boy but he sadly passed on. It is well IJN! I will testify, that I know...Just wanted to rant a bit cos atimes everythn just gets a bit too much for me to bear alone.

wow. You ladies are really my heroes. When I hear stories like these it makes me just shut up over my relatively tiny complaints. My sister God is your strength and He who brought you this far will see you through to the end. We will wait to hear the joyful story of your delivery by the grace of God and whatever pain you have endured, may God turn it into boundless joy. It is well with you mama miracle!

Anoda thing, I hav not had SeX since I became pregnant

Recruitment
Look up 2 d sky and see how shining it is, so shall u shine in every aspect of ur lyf, it is well sis
We will mk it thru

@ diamond i know the airforce hospital around here is pretty good. So hopefully its the same in your area. Try to drink water if you can heartaches etc,can be sign of dehydration.
@ recruitment wow what a story most of the ladies that where on the high risk floor like myself in Canada some of them had their waters break early, they where placed on antibiotics and bedrest. cant wait to hear your testimony in full.

That is actually very normal and is a good sign your body is working hard to prepare for your baby. It will slow down a bit later. Before pregnancy my resting heart rate was ~50-60, after getting pg, its consistently over 100bpm. They say a pregnant woman's HR can be compared to a non-pregnant woman running a race! Stay strong girl.

Hello All, not been here for a while now, hope we re all doing very fine ...

@ jumie62, just saw your post on the pelvic examination, it is very compulsory for every first timer,

it is to determine if ur pelvic is large enough for u 2 go thru normal delivery (as explained to me),

It's a simple test, u just stand on a machine and u are given something to put in btw ur legs

@ pampaerme, big congrats to u 7 Ur family

@recruitment, so sorry abt what u are going thru, d Lord shall see u thru,

He's ur strength and shall make u & ur family a miracle, u will testify of His goodness,

I actually don't advice d use of so much drugs during preg...

Thanks a lot people. I feel a lot better today, thank God! Talking about drugs, hmmmn lemme just say it is well cos I've probably taken more drugs in this pregnancy than in my whole life- for ptl, high bp, infections, name it. God will see me through, can't wait for the day I'll carry my baby in my arms.

It is not fun at all but I know you will get over in no distant time.As long as he understands there will be no problems.My hubby too was not going to allow me though I knew what she was going through but once in a while she pacifies me and there are times she will say come on and I quickly top it up from the rear.Not fun like it used to be but only to make her know that I have not been going outside to do it.
You are in probably the toughest period of pregnancy because when my hubby was about 3months plus I really hear am.

@forumites
Quite some time away!Congrats to the newest mother in NL (pamperme).I am also an expectant father and I have had to cope with my wife carrying our baby.She is about 24wks old now and has started attending the ante natal.So far she is doing well no complains of aches here and there that she had about 6 - 8wks ago.I suspect because of her teaching activities.
She is stable now with her bigger tummy.She had a check up some days ago and she was given fansidar that means malaria was suspected in urine or blood (i no know which one).My biggest joy is I do not have much to worry about compared to the month of March.
I will keep you posted on how she is doing.All I have to say now is that I am proud of her and I really appreciate God for mothers.E no easy

Happy mother's day!

I am doing well ,nausea is very mild these days, however I do not have an appetite for any food. I am always thirsty ( our days here are getting really hot) , befor pregnancy I always slept on my tummy or back now that both are out of the question, I am not enjoying sleeping on my side.. But I am grateful for strength and so I am not complaining.

Thank you so much everyone for the lovely messages. Baby and Mum are doing fine. Just dat he wakes everyone up at night
