Lovelee:
Good day mamas,
Please what natural food or drink can i use to reduce blood pressure, have been between 130-150.
Am a first time and am worried.

There are a lot of factors to put in consideration with your Blood Pressure.
Please ensure you emphasize to your doctor to tell you what to do about it.

Let him prescribe you the appropriate medication, and if there is a risk with your baby.

These are what you should discuss with your dr

[quote author=Peachbloom post=105431988]

Let your doctor know that you are feeling headache.

However, paracetamol is generally safe to use during pregnancy.

However, let your doctor diagnose the headache ,and prescribe medications appropriately.
OK, thank u ma just that I forgot to complain yesterday when I visited the hospital

Funky123:


First scan at 12 weeks , I don do 2 scans o, first my Gynea requested at 6weeks maybe because I had a procedure to unblock tubes before taking in

[quote author=Graciousgirl20 post=105432284][/quote]

The headache is quite normal in pregnancy.
You are an embodiment of several hormones, and this is one of the reasons for the headache.

Please do ensure you complain at your next visit, and pending then, take as much fluid and rest as at when possible as much as you can.

Cheers

Peachbloom:


Personally, I will see a Mom to be who is confirmed pregnant every 2 weeks in the First Trimester. The problem is, I don't get the idea of not starting ante natal until after 12 weeks.

Kindly see a practitioner to confirm the pregnancy with an ultrasound, and monitor you effectively till you come out of the queasy stage.

Especially since there is a substantial gap (although not too consequential) between the first and the next.

Cheers.

Well said... IAM just lazy to see doctor plus fear of the unknown

So for my first baby from the day I knew I was pregnant to the day of delivery I had no issue. Infact I only used folic acid and the compulsory anti malaria given during antenatal. On the day I went into labor I was at a party dancing away when my water broke and the rest is to the glory of God.



Fast forward to 2nd pregnancy...... Strong woman strong woman first trimester humble me. For over 1 month I could eat rice and stew. Infact I started buying food outside because anything I cook na to jump and pass. Level of tiredness nko? I was sleeping at the office even to post goods on my Instagram na work but thank God this girl is getting better.
Truly truly pregnancy can humble you.

Please do not be afraid for whatever reason.
At this stage, your monitoring is expected to be Top Notch till you are delivered of that baby.

You may request for a female doctor with more empathy, if it makes you comfortable.

Brace up Mommy.
And schedule your first Pre natal visit.

Cheers.

There must be so many pregnant women out there, as my blog is running hot and my inbox is clogged with questions! So, I thought I would compile a list of the 3 most asked questions about pregnancy and birth from my blog and the women I teach. Firstly, my background, I am mother to two beautiful boys 7yrs and 21months (still breastfeeding!), a Midwife of 9 years and a Lactation Consultant. I work in a birthing unit, teach antenatal classes and run a lactation clinic at a pharmacy. https://littlesocksni.co.uk/

Had one, same loose stitches. Was told to do warm water remedy. Seat bath. Get warm as in really warm not hot ooooo water, add salt and Dettol then sit in it. But now it's 5 months already spent know of it will still work. Mine was told when I went for 6 week postnatal and the doc noticed the loose stitches

shutupareyouGOD:
Good evening guys…so I was at the hospital today cuz I still can’t eat at 13 weeks…also to treat recurring malaria…but the eating thing is giving me concern as I’m loosing weight and I did urine test where the doctor says is showing starvation as there’s glucose in urine….he prescribed injection to help with vomiting and eating….but I still can’t eat or take prenatal without throwing up…only thing that doesn’t come out is moi moi and he said it isn’t enough…even with fruits…..please is there any other solution to this and before pregnancy and I can’t see food and blink…I can eat and eat ..so it is suprising

same happen to me in my first pregg. Urs is better that you can eat moimoi, the only thing I can eat then is pineapple, I was admitted twice, yet nothing happen untill am in 14 week..

What I did then was I always sip warm water and eat little by little

Are you taking your medication appropriately? Or you have ditched it for ugwu?
