Our dear son came on Sunday, 19th April, at 1:48pm via Vaginal delivery with minimal tears after nearly 4hours of extreme labour pains, weighing 4kg.

Congrats and welcome to your dear son

Pojomojo:
Good evening Mama's
Congratulations to expectant mum
I went for hormonal profile on day 10 of my cycle

Please kindly assist with the interpretation

FSH 2.6
LH 5.81
Prolactine 32.97
Estradial E2 178.64
Progesterone .86

Thanks in advance

You didn't put control values. But why day 10? Day 2 or 3 and day 21 progesterone gives better accurate values.
But from my little knowledge, your prolactin is high. Then your progesterone value shows you must have had an early ovulation. I think ovulation tracking will help you confirm when you ovulate.

Good morning mummies in the house. I am new here. First time mum, first time nairaland user.

Pls kindly put me through.
Not sure my weeks though. My last menstrual date was 15th of Feb. But I did a blood test on 1st of April, which was negative. Then later did home hcg test on 20th/ 21st of April and this came back positive.
I know I am pregnant with all the symptoms I have been experiencing but can't really calculate how many weeks.

Though will be visiting hospital soonest.

I am open to any advise/talks on pregnancy mummies in the house.
May Almighty God deliver us all safely.

Thanks in advance.
U can call me deeedeee

Congrats ma. You may run a scan between now and next month to confirm your EDD

Mamas, I am new here. EDD Aug 10. I am not comfortable with the hospital I am currently using. Can anyone help recommend good hospital for delivery around Ikeja or Surulere area In Lagos? How are other Mamas doing antenatal during this Covid period?

Trying to ready up the trend but I no know where to even start from

Hi mamas and my fellow July teamies.
Pls is it normal for tummy to get dark during pregnancy? I'm six months gone and noticed my tummy is having some dark parts, tho not too obvious now. I don't cream my tummy even bfr pregnancy but rub anointing oil sometimes. Will like to know if its normal or my own body reaction. Thanks.

Bomgirl:


Sorry mama. I hear boils are the body's way of removing certain toxins. Just allow it to ripe and burst. You can rub Palm oil on it so it bursts quick. Pele sis, no take antibiotics o.

Thanks dear I can't try it me sef wey fear drugs pass even without pregnancy let alone now I'll apply the palm oil, mamas no other option

jumiphena:



@MumoftheDecade, I pray you do oo, but if it shows, just know that's part of the package of first trimester, and soon when you get to the second trimester, you enter the enjoyment stage.


It may sound far-fetched, but eating beans can actually help greatly alleviate morning sickness!
it has been found that if a pregnant woman eats beans while suffering from morning sickness the high fiber content of the beans binds to the extra bile and removes it from the system, causing her to be less nauseous or even not nauseous at all

This worked for me in first trimester as I was greatly relieved of the vomiting saga.

PS: please Try to eat in bits. also note that you can also eat food made from beans like moi moi, akara, gbegiri, Okpa etc.

Okpa and gbegiri was my favourite then.. lol

Thank God I already love beans, and all its variations.

Thanks for the hack.

Good morning mommies, happy Sunday to us all. It will only get better.

@babsjummy and deeedeee you are welcome, it will end in praise.

@PecAbby congratulations ohh, he's my sisters birthday mate. And amen to your prayers.

@ambient yes you can see a dentist any time but let them know you are pregnant. I think treatment during pregnancy is in 2nd trimester (weeks 14-20) the risk of side effects is lower.

Thank you everyone, stay safe and stay blessed

First of all, I want to say thank you lord for the journey, after having a miscarriage(5 months) last year april 20th to be precise, the devil wanted to work on same date this year, all that can go wrong during this pregnancy did, from having threatened abortion to having to go for emergency cerclage at 24weeks, to premature contractions almost every 2weeks, including managing diabetes, in fact this God is too good. At some point I will be scared if my baby will form well and come out very strong and healthy, but in all,I thank God.


April 17th I went for normal antenatal, did urinalysis and went for vitals... My normal bp of 120/80 went up to 170/100.....I was really concerned, although prior to that I had already started secreting mucus plug, my gynae sent for my husband immediately and told him I need to be under close monitoring and if my bp doesnt go down I will be taken to theatre the next day...oga went mute throughout that day, I prayed, called my parents and even brought it here, my parents said if the form isn't signed by my husband they will sign it if it can be mailed to them and so it went on, he didn't say a word, gynae asked for mother in-law, she didn't show up, on Saturday 18th I was told to report morning afternoon and evening to check my bp, it was getting worse infact after the nurses check the doctors will check to confirm and it will even go higher, I was told to go and bring my bags, I waited for hubby to come but he didn't say anything when he came back, mother in-law later called a matron that night to seek second opinion and she was told cs is the only way out to save mother and child, my parents were angry with me that I'm playing with my life cross of hubby and in-laws, in short inter-tribal marriage get as e be.
To cut the long story short, I tried to rest after all the worry but I couldn't, on Sunday around 4am my head was banging and I knew my bp must have gone higher than it was, I didn't wait for hubby I just picked few stuffs and was heading to the hospital to my greatest surprise he followed me and even helped me carry my bag, on getting to the hospital, bp was checked and it was reading 200/120, nurses and docs were shouting, everyone was confused. The next 10mins I was checked again and it went to 210/130, it was just going up, my gynae had to call 4 other doctors from UNTH, I was told we need to deposit 60k for them to start but hubby was no where to be found, I was checked again 220/140, the doctors arrived really early and they decided to check it was 240/130, my gynae said I should be moved to the theatre immediately that we have suffered so much during the pregnancy to loose it when I was just few days to hit 36weeks cos of money, before then I called mother in-law that his son has left me to die and she came in few mins b4 I was moved to the theatre and that was it.

First anaesthesia injection didn't work, I felt the pain when they cut me, after giving me the second one I fainted, I heard voices of people calling my name and snapped back, but then it was as if my whole body went numb including my head, I tried to speak, like I was shouting within me but nobody was hearing me, it was one of the docs that saw my face and said I was dying, I was just shouting, I can't do this, I'm dying, I'm going, God help me and b4 I knew they fixed oxygen to my nostrils and that helped me to breathe well and in few mins I heard my baby crying, hearing her cry just took away all the pains and turmoil, she was cleaned up and showed to me cos I didn't check gender b4 her birth and that was it.

I was stitched back, cleaned and moved to the ward but couldn't speak or talk to anyone until later that evening.

The devil came again baby's glucose level was 12 and that was very low, she was given formula and glucose since I couldn't even move cos of the anaesthesia, all of a sudden baby began to choke, my mother in-law was shouting for help, in my fragile state I kept on asking for my baby but no one was answering me, I managed to pray for God to save my child and give me complete joy, unknown to me they were reviving her with oxygen for 2 straight hours, I couldn't move to look for her cos I'm worried and head is banging, at the end of it all, God did it for me and we are fine, Protocols were broken for my sake and God proved himself mighty.

My normal bp of 120/80 went up to 170/100.....I was really concerned, although prior to that I had already started secreting mucus plug, my gynae sent for my husband immediately and told him I need to be under close monitoring and if my bp doesnt go down I will be taken to theatre the next day...oga went mute throughout that day, I prayed, called my parents and even brought it here, my parents said if the form isn't signed by my husband they will sign it if it can be mailed to them and so it went on, he didn't say a word, gynae asked for mother in-law, she didn't show up, on Saturday 18th I was told to report morning afternoon and evening to check my bp, it was getting worse infact after the nurses check the doctors will check to confirm and it will even go higher, I was told to go and bring my bags, I waited for hubby to come but he didn't say anything when he came back, mother in-law later called a matron that night to seek second opinion and she was told cs is the only way out to save mother and child, my parents were angry with me that I'm playing with my life cross of hubby and in-laws, in short inter-tribal marriage get as e be.
To cut the long story short, I tried to rest after all the worry but I couldn't, on Sunday around 4am my head was banging and I knew my bp must have gone higher than it was, I didn't wait for hubby I just picked few stuffs and was heading to the hospital to my greatest surprise he followed me and even helped me carry my bag, on getting to the hospital, bp was checked and it was reading 200/120, nurses and docs were shouting, everyone was confused. The next 10mins I was checked again and it went to 210/130, it was just going up, my gynae had to call 4 other doctors from UNTH, I was told we need to deposit 60k for them to start but hubby was no where to be found, I was checked again 220/140, the doctors arrived really early and they decided to check it was 240/130, my gynae said I should be moved to the theatre immediately that we have suffered so much during the pregnancy to loose it when I was just few days to hit 36weeks cos of money, before then I called mother in-law that his son has left me to die and she came in few mins b4 I was moved to the theatre and that was it.

First anaesthesia injection didn't work, I felt the pain when they cut me, after giving me the second one I fainted, I heard voices of people calling my name and snapped back, but then it was as if my whole body went numb including my head, I tried to speak, like I was shouting within me but nobody was hearing me, it was one of the docs that saw my face and said I was dying, I was just shouting, I can't do this, I'm dying, I'm going, God help me and b4 I knew they fixed oxygen to my nostrils and that helped me to breathe well and in few mins I heard my baby crying, hearing her cry just took away all the pains and turmoil, she was cleaned up and showed to me cos I didn't check gender b4 her birth and that was it.

I was stitched back, cleaned and moved to the ward but couldn't speak or talk to anyone until later that evening.

The devil came again baby's glucose level was 12 and that was very low, she was given formula and glucose since I couldn't even move cos of the anaesthesia, all of a sudden baby began to choke, my mother in-law was shouting for help, in my fragile state I kept on asking for my baby but no one was answering me, I managed to pray for God to save my child and give me complete joy, unknown to me they were reviving her with oxygen for 2 straight hours, I couldn't move to look for her cos I'm worried and head is banging, at the end of it all, God did it for me and we are fine, Protocols were broken for my sake and God proved himself mighty.

I am grateful to God for everything and we are 1 week today, treating jaundice though but I know God is working, thank you to all that advised I go for the cs, for all your tips here and to cappo, thank you sweetheart. I have to drop my pen here so I can sleep now that princess is sleeping.


To all those waiting on your big day, God will make it easy for you and to those TTC, God will bless you very soon.
