Congratulations mama. Affliction will not rise again the second time. Amen!

Most hospitals start antenatal from 12 weeks but you can start or continue your routine drugs for now. That is really the main thing to be doing this time.

Amen…thank you so much
I got the routine drugs today.

Hi everyone!
I’m back to clear the cobwebs! It feels so good to be here again after so many years.

This group was such a huge part of my first pregnancy journey. The things I learned and the support I got from pregnancy all the way until I had my baby girl in 2017. She’s 9 years old now by the way

I had another pregnancy in 2022, but sadly, I lost my baby at a little over 5 months in March 2023. It was a really difficult experience, especially because that pregnancy came with quite a lot of complications, and unfortunately, I also experienced some negligence from the hospital I was using from the very early weeks until I lost the pregnancy.

Now, here I am again. I tested positive last week, and I’m honestly excited, grateful, but also very scared. I haven’t confirmed exactly how far gone I am yet because my periods have been irregular over the past two months, but as soon as I get that confirmed, I’ll definitely update the group.

I’m really hoping and praying that this time, I get to see the journey all the way to the end and bring home a healthy baby.

I’d also love to ask the experienced mamas here: when is the appropriate time to start antenatal care? Given my previous experience and the complications I had, I honestly don’t want to take any risks this time. I’m quite anxious and would really appreciate advice on when I should begin and anything I should be doing from these very early weeks.

I’m so happy to be back with you all, and I’m looking forward to sharing this journey with everyone again

Wao , maybe you had a vanishing twin in 1st trimester but never knew. Your body will absorbed it without you bleeding but if it occurred in 2nd trimester you would have had a heavy flow .

I had a vanishing twin as at 7w 4days .

Woah!! Never heard of this, hmm.....I think I might get a third opinion and if it's still same, I'd have to ask my doctor serious questions

Good day mamas, how we dey? I'm actually here to rant coz it's been eating me up for days....when I was about 6weeks I noticed any small stress like this I'd start seeing blood spottings, would have to use sanitary pads, so I went to the hospital and register for Anc, they did their normal check ups and tests, and I was told to get an ultrasound to know how things were fairing, which I was told I'm expecting twins, I was elated and all, and on subsequent scans, about 3 ultrasound the doctor kept telling me the 'babies" were doing great, on Wednesday I decided to go to another centre to get second opinion was actually eager to know their gender, only for me to be told it's a single fetus!!! I had to insist to double check coz I've had about 4 of the scan at my hospital and I was told double fetus.....this has been messing with my mental health, my husband told me to be calm maybe one is hiding but it's hard to miss twins at 23weeks I believe. I'm confused, I don't know what to do, I've honestly not been myself ever since

We learn everyday I guess.... Pls cud u enlighten me on why... She shud stay away from cold water.... Tanks

In my little experience, I believe cold water (chilled) and cough don't agree, and dry throat most of the time leads to cough, it's just temporarily until she feels better......it's whats been working for me though.

Sabi Mamas, good afternoon oh.

Please, make una help put mouth for this matter because I don dey fear small small.

I tested positive a couple of weeks ago and the only symptoms I have had so far is headache almost on a daily, tender breasts, occasional lower back discomfort, occasional bitter taste in the throat.

Two days ago, I started experiencing dry throat no matter how much water I drink and I woke up today to a drier throat.

Abeg, is this part of the package too or am I to be worried?

Hi mama I'm sure theirs no cause for alarm as pregnancy comes with different packages and for the dry throat, that was one of my symptoms during my first trimester, stay away from cold water and give drinking hot water a try, and if you could boil ginger and garlic sieve the water and drink while it's hot, you should feel better after a while. I hope this helps.

Hi, mama !!
I'm in my first trimester also and I had the same issue weeks back, a momma here prescribed boiling ginger and garlic, sieve and drink the water, I drank it hot morning and night for just two days and it worked like magic, haven't felt sore throat or cough since then.

Boil ginger and garlic in water .strain it and drink it. It should go in two days. Though I added lime and honey for my kids and it worked but I'm not sure lime and honey is good for early pregnancy but garlic and ginger are great. It may feel uncomfortable at first of it burns your throat but it will get better

Thanks mama, I will give it a try

I really don't think it's the soap, maybe he's reacting to something..but if you are having doubts, you can switch to other soaps, I can't name any coz I'm only familiar with sebamed, maybe other Mama's will shook mouth for the matter
