Alemo50 pls help me out
Sorry for the late reply.
Like someone said, discharge in pregnancy, especially this late, is normal. No need for medication.
Gonorrhea or Clamydia infection can affect baby's eyes, but then, it is extremely rare, and even then it is not treated with injections to mother with discharge, and it only causes eye discharge in babies that is very easily treated with antibiotics eyedrops.
So please, decline treatment.

How much is sono hsg only? Can it say the true state of the Fallopian tubes without the injection of dye or saline into the tubes?
SonoHSG alone is 20K. Saline has to be injected. But strong analgesia is given to prevent pain. A hysteroscopy is also done at the same time to see the lining of the womb. For further details call 08060170565

About 7 weeks.
Ultrasound should show it inside the womb. If no baby is seen inside the womb, then ectopic pregnancy is most likely. How are you feeling now?

goldmine:
Sir, i'm curious. What exactly are the conditions that can be assessed? Also,where in Lagos can I get this service and at what cost? Thanks in advance.
The conditions that can be assessed have been listed in earlier posts. In summary, the 4D scan allow you to see your baby as if it has been born, so that any malformations can be detected and something done about it. Also sex can be seen and is 100% accurate. The Doppler detects whether the baby's condition is fine, ie if enough blood is flowing to the baby. For example, once there is any concern about the babies health, Doppler should be done.

4D scan costs 5k, and with Doppler costs 7.5k. Both can be done at

Oh, I remember. I did this scan [doppler] when I fell very sick[I had jaundice, malaria and thypoid].
My baby was jumping in my womb and was breathing very fast. My hospital charged me 10k.
How is your baby now?

Pls reply
Lolaob:
My too
Doppler scan measures blood flow to the baby. Since the babies' organs are not yet functioning, for example the baby cannot eat, drink or breath, all it required is supplied by the placenta through the umbilical cord. With normal blood flow, no baby will die. For the babies that die, the blood flow will first reduce, then stop, and if the baby is not delivered before it becomes too late it will die. So Doppler scan is the method of measuring if the baby is doing well

Alemo 50. Gud pm Am 35wks preg and have being discharging since my 1st WK. it was detected to be yeast infection. After complaining to my Dr, he gave me drug and prescribed clotrimazole and canesten cream . The itching only stop and am still discharging. pls wat can I do?
Since you are already 35 weeks, and since the itching has stopped, i would encourage you to wait till after delivery, when it is likely to stop. its most likely due to what we call leucorrhea of pregnancy, ie excessive discharge as a result of pregnancy. It should resolve after delivery.

I want to be alife, I want to see my baby I want to carry my baby. Oh Lord see me through. Do not allow me do not allow me do not allow me(us) Jesus to go empty handed
Amen. But you must also do your own part, apart from prayer. I like referring my patients to this article, titled PERINATAL AND MATERNAL MORTALITY IN A RELIGIOUS GROUP AVOIDING OBSTETRIC CARE where some pregnant people believe only in prayer and were not utilising the health care facility in the USA, and it was discover that death of mothers was one hundred times greater among them.

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/16687815_Perinatal_and_maternal_mortality_in_a_religious_group_avoiding_obstetric_care
Perinatal and maternal mortality in a religious group avoiding obstetric care.

[center]ABSTRACT We investigated perinatal and maternal deaths occurring among women who were members of a religious group in Indiana; these women received no prenatal care and gave birth at home without trained attendants. Members of the religious group had a perinatal mortality rate three times higher and a maternal mortality rate about 100 times higher than the statewide rates. These findings suggest that, even in the United States, women who avoid obstetric care have a greatly increased risk of perinatal and maternal death.

Perinatal and maternal mortality in a religious group avoiding obstetric care. - ResearchGate. Available from: http://www.researchgate.net/publication/16687815_Perinatal_and_maternal_mortality_in_a_religious_group_avoiding_obstetric_care [accessed Jun 5, 2015].
[/center]

Perinatal mortality means death of a baby in the womb or within one week of its delivery. Maternal mortality means death of a woman from pregnancy.

The main causes of perinatal mortality (death of a baby in the womb/ stillbirth or within a few days of delivery) are:
1. Smallness of fetus, called small-for-gestational age (SGA) that is due to slow growth of the fetus within the womb (IUGR or FGR)
2. Genetic/Chromosomal abnormality of fetus
3. Structural abnormality of the fetus
4. Prematurity

The main causes of maternal mortality in Nigeria are:
1. Bleeding (Haemorrhage), which can be from low-lying placenta, or following delivery (PPH- post partum haemorrhage)
2. Infections
3. Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia (ie Hypertension due to pregnancy)
4. Ectopic pregnancy and Miscarriages
5. Obstructed labour.

The wonderful thing is that death from all these conditions are preventable. In USA, only 4 babies out of 1000 deliveries die, compared with 40 in Nigeria (see http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.DYN.NMRT). Also in USA, only 28 pregnant women out of 100,000 deliveries would die, compared to 560 in Nigeria (http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.STA.MMRT). Therefore unborn babies face ten times the risk of dying in Nigeria than in USA. Similarly, women are 20 times more likely to die during pregnancy in Nigeria than in USA. The question is what is responsible for these differences? Certainly, it cannot be because USA is more developed than Nigeria or because the people living in USA have better standard of living. We can see from the article I pasted above that those women who live in USA but because of religious reasons did not utilise health care had worse death rates than in Nigeria.

Therefore the singular most important reason is that women utilise health care facilities more in USA than in Nigeria. Studies have shown that these facilities, though present in Nigeria, are not even being offered to the women. Therefore the women should be equipped with the necessary information so that they can demand for some facilities from their health care provider. My aim is to empower pregnant women with this information. It would save their lives, and their babies' lives, and that of other women because when they demand for such services, and their health providers say such services are not available or important, and the women insists and have it done elsewhere and take the results to the health care providers, the providers will then be forced to be educated on these services and will offer it more readily to others, thereby saving other lives.

In subsequent posts, I shall take these causes of death one by one, and explain how a pregnant woman can avoid them.
