agiboma thanks...but a doctor told me that progesterone supplements makes fibroids grow bigger,is that true?
And please since I had my last evacuation in january,my flow has been so irregular which never used to be,please any useful tips I could use 2 correct this? Also help with tests I could do to track and make sure I'm ovulating, I used opk (predicte) last month but it was a waste of money didn't understand d lines! May God bless u all!

At the time of pregnancy women also need to have regular checkups and they need Gynecologists Calgary or Gynecologists Edmonton and walk in clinics in their region so that they can go immediately to the near by clinic at the time of emergency.

Blank good morning, i saw your mail and replied same day o. Could you please give me your e-mail address or have mine

Hi Bikay, i am in the same position as you, as in 30 weeks and sitting down all day. Like you too, i also drive to work and back and i do not think there's anything wrong with it; infact for my first baby, i drove myself to the hospital during labour! My husband travelled just that morning and i live alone, luckily it was a sunday so traffic was mild.

now dats funny
i can imagine u lookin at him wen he makes dat sound

I can't believe that i am in the middle of my second trimester and i still have not started ante-natal. I just can't meet up with their days and they do not do weekends. I went to register at 17 weeks and they said they will have to confirm that i am not registered elsewhere before they register me. Haven't gone back since then. I just keep praying that all is well. For now, its just the shortness of breath that i am battling with.

@Diamondlove, I hope ur getting stronger.

@Bikay & Maran1983, I used to drive to work but I stopped driving when I was about 20 weeks due to the ffing reasons,

1. I sit all day at work.
2. My feet/ankle were swelling so badly.
3. My back/waist were aching!
4. I was having muscle cramps while driving.
5. I was falling asleep on the steering.
6. I was eating a lot of popcorn to stay awake while driving, this gave me constipation.
7. I was always pressed to ease myself while in traffic.

I join my hubby/ a neighbor sometimes in the morning, but most evenings I use public transportation (BRT). It's been great and takes me roughly over an hr to get home. I also use it as a form of exercise, the walk from the busstop to my house is 10mins.

@ House, just want to share these few tips tht has helped me in my pregnancy, I do hope it helps someone else.

1st trimester.
1. I ate a lot of dry crackers & dry bread to control morning sickness.
2. No milk & fried stuffs , they made me puke.
3. I sucked on bitter kola all day to control the metallic taste.
4. I drank slightly brewed tea (lipton) & used tht powdered ginger tea to sweeten it, also used lemon sometimes.
5. I didn't take a lot of water cos it made me so sick.
6. Rested a lot.

2nd trimester.
1. I started eating regular food. (3 times a day)
2. Drank a lot of water to prevent constipation.
3. Ate an egg,an apple, an orange & slightly cooked ugu with fish everyday. (I wasn't taking my vitamins so I had to eat a lot of vegetable & fruit)
4. Walked at least 4 times a day for 30 mins. (15min in the morning, 15mins in the evening)
5. Started sitting & sleeping with my legs up.
6. Stopped working so hard, both office & at home. (Hubby supportive here, as he is ok with just noodles & egg as a meal.)
7. Taking a 30 min nap at work everyday.
8. Getting very comfortable maternity wears.

3rd trimester.
Am still in my early third trimester,

1. Bathing with fruity liquid soap every evening (This had a way of lifting my spirits & making me feel good with myself).
2. Redesigned my night wears instead of sleeping with wrappers. (lol), (e.g, they got tight around the boobs, so i used a scissors to cut open the necks.)This makes me feel very good with myself.
3. Sleeping on my left side with a pillow in between my legs.
4. Still drinking a lot of water. (I keep a bottle beside me at work)
5. Eating about 4-5 very small meals a day. (Eating to my fill makes me have heart burn & slower digestion)
6. No more biscuits / chocolate / sugar / sweetners/ etc, apart from me nt wanting to have a big baby, I noticed tht processed carbs make me feel so sick & sluggish.
7. Eating lots of fruits (You have to study ur system to determine what fruit goes down well with u.)for me, bananas are a nono! I get very sluggish & tired & sleepy after eating them. I think the sugar content is a bit too much for me. If I must eat it, I chop it into my breakfast oats.
8. Using a nice deodorant & fruity perfume (I fell out of love for flowery smells).
9. Wearing flat shoes & slippers.
10. Getting a foot & back massage every night from hubby.
11. Singing, yea it lifts my spirits.
12. Still taking my nap every afternoon.
13. Urinating, as the need be. (Don't store ur urine, urinate as soon as u feel pressed.)
14. Sleep early, in the evenings, no more late night scary movies.
15. Saying no to being a potato couch! Get up & move around. It helps the blood circulate.

Thank you.

Hey people! Hmmmmmn am here oh, I'll be 37 weeks on Sunday. Am off bedrest. I was ill and admitted again last week and my Ob planned to induce me last weekend but changed his mind for whatever reason! Can you believe my stitch is still holding? Am off nifedipine now, yet no contractions... Infanct, I don tire sef. I 'll come online tomorrow again and hopefully have more interesting news... Btw, my feet are swelling oh and my BP is ok

Agiboma thank you so much!
recruitmnt I wish u a safe delivery, May God see u thru!

@recruitment safe delivery

Bikay, you are welcome.
Recruitment I wish you a safe delivery.

maryswags: @ Agiboma thank you and God bless!

@ Titilaelae...thanks a lot for d info about ur experience with crystal hospital. Ironically someone referred me to one of their consultants @ crystal hospital, although I met him @ his private clinic, and he told me I have no other option than to operate it (kind of surprised cos none of them is inside my womb, just in the sorrounding muscles and d largest is about 3cm)...I actually ran off for my life! I'm really confused now cos each doctor has his own story 2 suit himself. Pls what injections and drugs were you placed on during your pregnancy? Because I just met another doctor that says he would place me on progesterone for bout 4 months when I'm preg again...just want to be sure!...thanks dear

The injection was 'Primolut N' but I can't remember the name of the tablet. I wonder who that consultant was that did not even give you a chance! Like I said, it was their MD I consulted. Anyway, you go and try County as suggested by mogbomoya. May the good Lord see you through.

I congratulate all the new Mummies in the house, wish all the 'bigi belles' safe deliver and send baby dust to the rest of us. One love.

I'm tapping into the anointing of all preggys on this thread while believing God for my own BFP IJN!!! My AF will not show tomorrow till after nine months IJN !!!!! AMEN!!!

Hi all, just checking in and out Madam and I are doing just great to the glory of God

cat walks in
aint i just looking sexy
winks



hi all, seems i have upgraded to the next level
fellingso great

@Diamond love, am happy ur doing great.

This tread is getting quiet!

Hello all,

I'm just 26weeks but i hardly sleep at night.

It's not just very easy with office works but trying to cope.

Anyway, wish everyone safe delivery.

Hellooooo mummies,it's been a while o.Pls all,how does one know labour has started oo cos i dont know anything but right now i'm feeling some sharp pains of and on,could this be it?Agiboma and all,i need ur reply urgently ooo.

Yeah d sharp pains like menstral cramps are a sign but u hv to notice the contractions increasing in intensity and the intervals should not be far apart. Like my own labour pains started on a tuesday d pains came at night but sometimes they will be five mins apart sometimes 30mins later on 1hrs and so on. I knew it wasn't time yet bt it continued like this until Thursday when I waas hving sme serious painful contractions that left me speechless I knew I had to go to d hospital. So check d intervaals with which d contractions cme $ if they r getting mre painful, ten u can go to d hospital.
