MAMAS HELP A SISTER PLEASE


I'm new in PH because Dh based there while my work station is in Ebonyi state. I mentioned that I went for scan on Tuesday at one private hospital, they said I should register for antenatal which I did( Me&Dh had agreed that I will use the hospital). After running some tests, Dr said there is malaria ++(I disagreed because I had test the previous week and no atom of malaria)


Dr prescribed some drugs for me. Their small kiosk like medicine shop staff said my bill was #5k. So I insisted on seeing the prescription but was denied. I told the girl that I had folic acid, fasolate, B. Compex and multivitamin tabs at home so I don't need those if they are among the prescription. After long dragging and talking with the Dr, they removed those and cut the bill to 3500.


Dh that went with me was giving me bad eye to just pay the complete money and take the drugs but I refused. So after everything, I paid the #3500 and they gave me TT injection on my arm , pcm tabs and another white tab. No name on the drugs envelop no means of identifying it.


The next day being yesterday I came back to my base in Ebonyi state, the drugs still intact because I don't want to take it.


Is that how private hospitals behave? Don't I have the right to know the drug my doctor prescribed? Must everything be about making money?


Please sabi mama residing in PH, recommend good mama friendly hospital that is listed on NHIS preferably govt hospital.

We are living at Woji



Thank you

Obio cottage hospital is quite close to Woji

I don’t know what it is like there currently but it was very decent like 5-6years ago however, they have massive crowd. Don’t know if it’s still same


I don’t know about their NHIS services though

Please never take any medication that has no name. I wouldn’t even have paid. I would have left in peace

Hallenjay:
thanks so much... Baby kicks is still very much consistent and she went der today for a test and de say her vjay is still yet to open meaning it's just false labour de project a scan for tomorrow to know d state of d baby and the exact water dat might showed up dat Saturday and d oda days... After d scan we'll look for another hospital if d outcome is not fine but d mother said d water only showed on Saturday... Having said only one day I believe it can still b dangerous as far as d water is concerned.

We hope for the best

IF YOU DON'T KNOW MY STORY YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND MY GLORY. I decided to overcome my fears and announce o jare. My story is plenty jare. I ran out after my last loss in March 2017 to get to the root of my problems and of course I did,I gave myself sometime too. TTC became an issue for me afterwards but God showed up when my faith finished pata pata and I was beginning to think ivf like dh.
The rest of the story when I shall share my BS.
Even though as a guest, in my low moments I drew strength from God and the ladies in the ttc thread. They were my greatest inspiration. God who answered me will grant you speedy answers and bfps, Amen.
Thanks to everyone who checked on me. I couldn't bring myself to responding because I was broken.

Thanks so much. The UPTH is too far from my location. How close is the Military hospital or BMH from YKC( woji/slaughter)?

That means that Military hospital is your best shot. It's on Aba Road after rumuola. Ask the conductor or taxi driver to stop you at military hospital. You can't miss it. If your are mobile, you will see it just after presidential hotel. If in doubt, ask people once you get to rumuola but you will not miss it as it's along the road on your right side

Joomie:
My e-family, mamas that have boys, please chook mouth ooo mbok.

After my delivery right in the labour room, the nurse that took my delivery told me she does home service circumcision for 5k (the same charged at the general hospital.) Another nurse also came to advertise her services to us that had boys later on.

We had already been told at anchor that the circumcision clinic at the hospital only takes 20 slots per day or whatever. The hospital is quite far from home and we don't have a car. So my first thought is to go with the nurse that handled my delivery for comfort sakes.

Hubby thinks we should visit the health center near our home but i don't think, those ones will do such cos doctors aren't attached there, all they basically attend to there is headaches and the likes.

The issue now is my MIL out of the blues is insisting we go to the general hospital to do it. That it's only doctors (surgeons) that do it.

My questions are
Is it compulsory we go to the hospital.
Is it only doctors that do it
What are the pros and cons of having the nurse come over to the house.
I don't want to be jumping around the street with a wailing baby. I'll waiting for your responses.

No.... midwives do circumcision as well.
However, I am not so keen on how some healthcare workers hawk healthcare services like wares

I wouldn’t circumcise my child at home
Circumcision is a very easy and simple procedure but you just can never tell what might happen

I am a strong advocate of going to the hospital so that if things go zigzag, there will be enough resources (human and equipment) to manage it

pam09:

Sis o concur with whyworryph, government hospital has the most competent hand u can trust. Though am not based in ph but my sister's there use military hospital and upth. In fact one goes all the way from Oyigbo to upth. It's all about getting the services u want.

Exactly dear. Can't take chances mbok

@ WhyworryPH your own is good, only 3kg!
Now is the time babies pack on the fat, that's the major reason for the increased hunger. I HATE that almost constant feeling of hunger. And it's not as if I can eat a little at a time; I must be full, if not I'd be miserable. After being full for a brief moment, heartburn takes over.

In everything I still thank God because the almost 1yr journey is winding up.

BlessedDiva:


Wow with all those first trimester banquet you had, you added only 3kg na you biko.
Me I added a whooping 6kg at that first 2 months and piled the remaining 4kg slowly from 3rd month in that first trimester to this my last month in 3rd trimester making it 10kg in all .
I'm not really experienced in this but eat when you feel like unlike me that aversion held for 7 months now but mbok try and squeeze out time to take your leisure walk, prolly in the evenings, this will help baby not to be too big (because this is when they pack on fat) and also help in easy delivery.
Eat biko because me I'm searching for appetite now.

As for the sleeping, I don't sleep after praying too at night so I sleep during the day, thank God for helping me be my own boss, them office for don sack me tey tey for sleeping on duty..

Mama 10kg isn't so bad and you will easily lose it after birth being that you are on the slender side.
To be honest, I am really surprised that I only gained 3kg so far. In fact, I was even losing weight in the first trimester even with all that shawarma, ice cream and meat pie.
Now I'm trying to cut down and yet hunger is no respecter of my resolve to cut down.

I was thinking that the walk should start from 36 weeks, but since you mentioned it, I will start incorporating it in gradually.

Good to know I'm not alone in the sleep department
Make we sleep now cos when baby comes, it might not be funny.

Enkay12:
For mine, i added an extra 15kg by the end of the pregnancy. During the pregnancy i ate normal plus almost everyday soft drink especially the last trimester but baby weighed 3.3kg when she came out which isn't so big. According to my neighbor, she didn't eat much in her pregnancy but her baby came out weighing 4.5kg. The weight of baby is not ALWAYS dependent on what you eat.

How comforting! Thank you mama.

The cervix will open only when it's ready to. But you can help it rippen with walks, staircase climbing, Queens pineapple consumption as well as dates fruit. Sexual intercourse also helps.

At first I thought UPTH weighing scale wasn't working but my digital one at home also supports what theirs gave me.

I also hate that feeling of hunger. Can't eat in bits too cos it will seem like I'm joking. I will be shaking and weak at the same time. Only beans give me heartburn and so I try to avoid it at night.
I'm trusting God that our babies will not pack on so much weight.

We did Moyo's own at home a day after his naming.

I just could bear him back at the hospital so soon after he was discharged.

Bunny19:
I have been so emotional reading all ur mentions.... So many of them that I am still shocked with d show of love and prayers. Wow! I don't know what to say, God in His infinite Mercy will reward u all and grant u ur heart desires. AminH

I couldn't do the two procedures again cos when d director evaluated me again, he realised d gestational age was reading 13weeks when I was supposed to be 20weeks as at that time. He said the baby was reducing in size since it was lifeless n no blood supply to it again so it can come out from my cervix. He decide to induce me so I can go into labour.

Mamas na there I see hell and back. Horrible experience that I will never forget,i kept having contractions from that evening till d following day, I threw up like 10times n became week. The doc on duty checked me n said I was 4cm dilated. I had it to my neck, and told my husband to tell dem to evacuate me. So they wheeled me to d theatre in d morning n carried out d procedure. The doctor later told my husband that if I had been patient for some few hours that it would have come out itself cos when they opened my cervix in d theatre the head was already showing.

My patience no reach there o, Kai women r trying. So I got discharged today Alhamdulillah. Will be going for evaluation in a month's time then d doctor will book me for d myectomy by November

I thank God for everything and I know this has opened up d way for me for more blessings from God. Am hopeful

Thanks my lovely sisters I can't mention u all but know that I appreciate u all n love u so much. Ur prayers for me kept me going. My twinny @Dazzlinganio... God bless u n Lo n she will be my god daughter. Mama zaynie I saw ur pm I can't access my email. Pls reach me on this line . Congratulations to all d mamas that have just put to bed, may ur Los be d coolness of ur eyes and those still waddling I wish u all safe delivery, they shall be no loss.

Team November how are you all doing? been reading up but I have been so laid back to quote anybody,so sorry about that
Alot has happened these few weeks and thanks to an advice from BlessedDiva I have been off social media for a while but I am back and better now.

On a lighter note,
So good to know we are almost there
This 2nd pregnancy don show me shege but who am I to complain, I am now a regular customer at d hospital and each time i arrive the nurses will be asking if it's time
My trailer bump is a wonder everyone thinks it's mutiple
Hubby is complaining of my size he says I have lots of weight to loose after childbirth.....
I can eat for Africa....right now I am eating cereal sef....the chop chop no get timing sef, i am so not concerned about weight cuz I am having ECS
My bags are packed and ready because I can't wait to meet the active little princess in me.
Am I d only on suffering from swollen nose? Hip pain? False contractions?Hunger? Shortness of breath? Vigilante? Heartburn? I can barely walk these days my feet hurts so bad......let me just mention a few

I have even taken leave from my part-time work, online work still in full gear for now till I give birth(shebi it's to wear PJ all day and eat while working in front of a computer)

All in all we give God the glory, He shall make it easy for us all as we progress.
