Good day and congrats to all mums and mums to be in the house.

@Teegali: sorry about your loss, God has a greater blessing for you, in everything give thanks.

Thank God I stumbled on this thread. Someone advised me to be taking pineapple but for one reason or the other it became really scarce in my area, even DH couldn't get it. Thank God for God may be I for don born before my due date.

Thumps up for the good infos on this thread.

check d pack to confirm dat it contains those, in the right proportion.Iron up to 600mg dly, folic acid up to 400microgram dly. If it does, then its ok

each 5ml contains iron 200mg nd folic acid 0.5mg. I take 10ml daily

I guess u can tk it, bt ensure u eat well, so u get d remaining. At least, d iron content s more Dan what pregnacare contains.

#teamseptemberforblissfuldelivery#

Conrats my sis, twins awhhh ..... So happy for you, God be with you all.


@beegail1,
Congrats, God be with you & baby, but I will tell for @zaynie on you, you just sneak in , nor wan pay registration fees.



@teegali,

You said Allah giveth, for your faith & his grace; he will surely do wonderful & more beautiful things for you... E-hug...


@MissOpe,
Even though your budget isn't shabby, in + with @ lovinam advise, I will just add that if you are in lagos, don't shop in a neighbourhood baby store, get yourself to dosunmu in lagos island... And...

Make sure to price in 3-4 shops, don't sit too long & let the shop people form familiarity with you, or get you items from their 2nd shop, drag body to the next store & look for it by yourself...

Biz people are not one's friend, they wake up to go to their shops to make money & not to run errands for customers ..... So getting it from just the next shop may cost you 500naira to 1k extra which will knock a thing or two of your list.

astymin and astyfer? Are they not the same thing

No they are not the same. Astymin contains amino acids and astyfer is a hematinic( contains iron mainly among other things
Congrats beegali1 and doubledouble

tchiwinnie:
Sm1 asked of d woman's height or aren't we talking of d same person. She can gv us her shoe size. Of course, u kno we cld hv an estimate of pelvic adequacy from that.

My sis you are talking the Nigerian way of clothes' measuring standard...

I'm going to be like a broken record & repeat my story again, @ zaynie made me feel comfortable sharing it as much time as posts need it...


I'm give or take 5.6-5.7 with a 41" shoe size but I've been informed that based on my cervical bone structure, my limit is 2.8kg for a VB

Looking at me you'd never ever guess that cos I don't even have narrow hips!!! Though a good proportion of my hip measurement comes from my as$.

I've birthed through cs 4.4kg, 3.8kg & 3.7kg.. ... Thank God for advances in medicine, na emere/ogbanje story we for dey hear if woman pikin go push & kpai...

@mizcyn,

Nice post, thanks a milli.....God bless you.

[quote author=tchiwinnie post=38490877]Thank God d sac s OK. ur baby s fyn. Would hv preferred u start ur antenatal meds(iron, folic acid, calcium) instead of d astymin/astyfer. u can discuss it wt ur Dr on ur next appointment. happy bumping.
Thanks dearie, I will ask him

Please at how many weeks is malaria drug taken during pregnancy? I'm almost 19weeks and I traveled so haven't been around for my antenatal that's why I'm asking. Thanks in advance

Congrats beegali1 and doubledouble

ok. Thanks. When they are both asty asty ni o . ND same company

tchiwinnie:
@mizcyn, pls don't get me wrong. D points u made earlier are actually valid and I agree dat women shldnt reject cs if its d safest means of delivery.What I m trying to say is dat medicine s individualized, and u never say never in medicine. For d index patient, I see no need for cs just based on d fact dat her baby weighed 3.8kg from scan.That was d only basis d Dr used.He didn't tell her anything abt pelvic inadequacy or CPD. U ll agree wt me dat some drs perform cs just cos of d increased cash involved, esp in private practice. As sad as it is, dats d truth. Most gynaecologists don't rely on pelvimetry these days. D practice s usu to allow every woman try par vaginum(except of course there's an absolute contraindication). Shoe size can b used too, its like a crude method of assessment. Welcome on board ma.

Please how is the shoe size method of assessment calculated even though you say it's crude just want to try it. I want to try a VBAC this time around my first CS was due to fetal distress. I'm 5ft and my shoe size is 39. Thanks

I guess u can tk it, bt ensure u eat well, so u get d remaining. At least, d iron content s more Dan what pregnacare contains.

thanks ma'am

Pls how is class rep selected?

Stadora : Don't be so keen on this induction thing till the die is cast....We still have some days to go and there is a God of 11th hour....((((Hugs))))

she is right. 3.8 kg baby is not big because I gave birth to a baby with 4.1 kg without tear.
