I am happy to inform you that it's all part of the package

Cramps - at 33 weeks, you are experiencing Braxton hicks. It will go on and off till true labour starts. Just focus on something else when it's happening.

Groin pain, leg aches - your baby is engaging ie descending down to your pelvis getting ready for birthing. The added weight may cause you some discomfort in your groin and legs. Take short walks and rest well in between. It is necessary to keep active always.

ManchyBabe:
Hello mummies,

HELP!

Ftm here, after ttc for (5 Longggggg years) #Team march# 14weeks

Please I have noooo appetite, I can go a whole day without eating. It started with me hating most food (mind you I didn't experience MS), just natural hatred (food aversion). All my best food are now worst and I don't want to hear the names, my Doc suggest it's psychological, that I have to learn liking them one at a time again..

I HATE FOOD INSHORT!

Yes it is, though i didn't experience it with my first. You can imagine my panic wen the groin pain started. I tot it was premature labour

@kendraloops
I'm fixed but I'm above 35 & a vet of 3 CS, I'm done..


@ favoredgal
Your paralysis crippled analogy wasn't in jest but ,

You told no lie about how hard adoption is though.


@mubzay @ ManchyBabe

Na to just have the grace to endure, take each day as it comes, it may stop anytime soon, it could last the whole gestation period..

Mama @kimoni lied , i have gone beyond phd, i be prof emeritus in the field of NVP .& monster heartburn

I start from missed period till the day i put to bed...

promethazine, vit B6, Piriton,grated ginger, gingered zobo, anything at all, i tried but for where, all in all, we give God the glory...

Yam & soaked garri were my main stay...

mubzay, do test first though before concluding, i sometimes even get palpitations with my own.

@manchybabe,
Congrats on your BFP, you've left ttc, you'll never return.

@Apple19,

Gd morn mamas. Please when does one start to feel baby movement and is there any side effect to having regular ultrasound?

Halo mamas
Pls can I knw the drugs to take now,some of my friends are saying I shud take pregnant care alongside with folic acid, some r saying only pregnant care,many many talk and suggestions yaff entered too. Mumsy said I shud go and register with a hospital first. Pls wen is the right time to register with a hospital and wot drugs shud I take nw?? As it is nw i am confused

soonest:

Lol! I guess she was calculating using lunar month. Alot of people make dat mistake. They will say they were pregnant for 10months meanwhile it's 40weeks in the real sense of it.

Can't blame them. 40weeks is technically 10 months

Go to the hospital. Its never too soon to register. That way you can avoid being confused. Also try reading and researching. If you read the pack of pregnacare, you will see it already contains folic acid. Happy bumping.

iyomomo:


My sister don't be scared, it's beta to cover all angles humanly possible , in all God has d power to Make all things beautiful.
My doc suggested d same, I had PROM at 19wks last year, so dis time around it was I dat reminded my doc about d cerclage he mentioned last year, so he has scheduled to have it done,at 13-14wks
Wit d cerclage there might be more dan d usual no of scans to monitor d cervix, one still has to take things very easy o or be on bedrest depending.
My dear CANCEL fear and haveFAITH 222 timx more dan u have now.
It will end in praise by God's grace, we shall carry our babies come 2016. Amen!

Thank u so much for ur response@ Iyomomo,May our joy be made full at the appropriate time.Happy bumping to all wonderful mamas in DA house.

It depends on a lot of things like....
- first timers feel it later than experienced mamas.
- slim mamas feel it earlier than fatty bomboms
- you get to feel active babies earlier than gentle ones.
In all by 20th week you should feel flutterings and by the 24th week, you should feel the kicks.
Give or take 2 weeks.

nwarosa:

Nah, 40 wks is 9 months, a month is 30-31 days, the balance 2-3 days nko?, nor let people wey dey count belle with days find you & seize ya device ooo

Doctor doesn't seem worried about it, and she asked if I could bear the itch before she prescribed amoxyl. Decided to bear the itch o. Lo is doing what he knows how to do. Thanks for checking on me. Firstymum would gladly take the roll call

Ive learnt Discharge is increased in preggie.hvs for me too have been showing same since I was 4 weeks.last week I used mycoten pessaries only cos i had unbearable itching and I'm very OK now.if it we're to b only d discharge I woundnt mind as Its likely d yeast will resolve on its own while practicing gud hygiene/natural remedies.ure already in 2nd tri so its safe but u cud let pesseries rest since ders no itching.yeast is mostly common n normal in preggie.other mamas will explain better so u don't use pesseries again n again for candida induced discharge.

As per being safe for pregnancy, no certified OBGYN would precribe medication that would harm you or the baby.
Yeast infection can be very stubborn, since yours is mild I suggest you treat it ASAP and not wait till it starts itching. That's a sign of a yeast infection that has been left untreated for a long time and might lead to reoccurrence later. Remember no Kpekus until treatment is over o and change all your underwear afterwards to avoid re-infection.
