Hello mamas
I was given Laridox on the 7th of last month and took my first TT, and today I was given another dose of Laridox plus my second TT. I'm scared to take the laridox, should it be taken every month? We're in our 24thweek.
Cc any mama that can answer.

You are in order. Pls take your medicine. The malaria drug is administered twice in four weeks interval. Then you are good to go. I was given in my 20th and 24th week too along with my TT injection. After this one, you won't be given again, except if you fall ill with malaria. It's a preventive dosage.

Congrats YACAA. God bless your LO. You have given Arihodo a birthday mate.

Naomi14:
Lol

Happy Birthday Arihodo. You will continue to grow in grace and flourish. Long life and prosperity!

vannessa7:
this is a picture of my sisters baby who was 6kg at birth, two male nurses had to climb a chair and push her tummy from the top while she was given a cut down there, the baby got stuck after the head came out and the nurse had to grab the shoulder after the cut and pull him out, he didn't cry for a while and the doctor and nurses had to work on him, he is 7 days old today in this pics. Alihamdulilah

Oh my! He is quite big! Congrats to your sis once again.

Team November,
We are silent this days oo, no roll call, what's happening

Team November is not silent o. We have been active and cappo Anugod even did a roll call on the 1st of September. Seems you have been the silent one and so it seems to you that everyone else is silent. Try to be more frequent, Peep in more often, welcome new mamas, congratulate mamas who have offloaded etc. It mustn't be everyday, just as often as you can . That way, we can keep moving the thread to the permanent site

Fine fine bumps everywhere yesterday. May God keep us all and we'll carry our babies as we have carried our bumps. Amen.

@RoseeyO, welcome once again. This one will stay and you will carry to term in Jesus Name. Amen.

@flyingangel, don't worry. You will conceive again and smile again. it is well with you sis.

@peggygee, congrats to you. God bless your LO. to baby.

@prestigiouslady, welcome to the fold, supply your EDD and your team will locate you soonest. The brownish spot might be old blood finding its way out or implantation bleeding. It should reduce and stop 8f it isn't more serious than this. I spotted in my early first trimester too. You need to rest, as in really rest and take things easy. Your body is no longer the same, it's going through a new phase entirely. So reduce your work load, leave house chores, enjoy your bed and put your feet up, rest very well, eat well too so you won't be weak and go to the hospital as soon as you can. You will carry to term. Amen. For the breasts, it's part of the package o. It will get better as you progress.

@booqee, I don't really have experience with the saliva ish. Just hang in there. One day at a time. You will be fine. Pele. I read your diary and I really feel like for you. My Dh is not around now too and I know how lonely it gets atimes. As one mama suggested, just try to keep yourself busy with favorite hobbies. It is well with you

Does uda have another name? Cos me, i dont know dat uda ingredient o. It was God in heaven that saved me when i newly took in wt those nausea wahala i wanted to be doing peppersoup to help me only for my aunt to call nd say NEVER EVER near outside prepared peppersoup cos of some ingredient like dat(she didnt know d name). Thank God

I don't know if it has another name o. I only know it as uda. People who sell outside usually mix it in their spices and our mothers use if for omugwo. But you can prepare your pepper soup without it and still enjoy it wella or if you have a trusted source that you can buy from, fine. When I just took in, my Gynae warned me to stay away from Pepper soup, Nkwobi prepared from sources I'm not sure of and also too much potash i. e akanwu. Funny enough, I know people who buy pepper soup outside and nothing happens to them. My dear, body differs.

@peggygee, how far? Has baby landed? Hope you are holding on fine. Easy peasy delivery to you.

@heavenlychy, you are welcome. Just eat right, healthy foods, fruits and vegetables. Stay away from junk. Bump has nothing to do with baby size. Some people have small bumps and yet give birth to big babies while some big bumps contain small babies. Just eat right.

@mamatwiny, Naomi.14 and ebonychic.18 have answered you well. Please avoid all avoidables.

UmmTwins2:
CheeryChy, I didn't see any spotting today n I pray it stays away; wl complain at d ANC on Saturday still. I've been stressing a bit lately, dnt know if it had anything to do with it.
CheeryChy how body? I believe u'r counting down too

Thank God you're better now. Please rest o. I'm fine and counting down little by little.

Hello mama's in d house.

Have been a silent readers since beginning of August pending when I will get my edd to join a team. I went to miatama general hospital on Friday 1st of September for d first time since I missed my period and was told I was 2months,3days pregnant and dat my baby is doing good.

I was excited like never before but it was short lived as 2hrs after I left d hospital I started feeling serious cramps, thought it was because I ate pounded yam n pepper soup for lunch so I decided to sleep d pains off only for me to wake up with excruciating pains 1hr later with heavy bleeding.

It was as if I was dieing, couldn't stand, talk, sit, eat or lay down it was as if my tummy was been removed by force. I decided to take hot milk maybe it will help reduce the pain. 5minutes later blood clot started coming out and I knew my baby was going, I cried, prayed n begged my baby to stay but he didn't

I went to d hospital the next day 2nd September and was told there is no baby in my womb again. I was in total shock cos didn't know what happened within 2hrs of leaving the hospital to d bleeding?
I am still asking myself if it was d food I ate or d warm milk I took dat took my baby away? Or the scan dat was done or Wht could have happened?

So sorry mama. Please take heart. God will give you double for your trouble. Some unexplained circumstances happen beyond our control sometimes. It's not the scan or milk. The only culprit I can think of is the pepper soup, did you prepare it yourself or you bought it outside? Some pepper soup ingredients like Uda, Potash are not so safe in early pregnancy. They are typically used after delivery to flush out lochia postpartum, so they can be counterproductive in early pregnancy. It's better to prepare your pepper soup without uda, potash in early pregnancy. And because our bodies differ, you never can predict what will adversely affect you or baby. It affects some and may not affect others. But then Who knows? It might have still happened even without you taking it. Please cheer up mama. Mourn your baby but don't beat yourself up. Another baby will come and it will not tarry. It is well with you.

@UmmTwins2, how are you now? Hope you are not spotting again. Please go to the hospital to get checked out just to be on the safe side.

@MoyosBlog123, Congrats. God bless your LO.

@angelys, you can also check out Image Diagnostics at Ilaje, Ajah B/stop.

@Anugod, your mama funny o. Smart woman, see calculation, it's not easy to be a great grandma jare. Lol.

@vannessa7, 6kg? that's a huge baby! Wow! Congrats to your sister.

@favouredestiny, It is well with you sis. I like your dogged spirit. I know how painful it is. Lost a pregnancy at around 11 weeks but presently preggy now. God who did it for me will do it for you soonest. Amen.

@booqee, I don't think energy drink is ok. But I took glucose when intense vomiting didn't allow me eat anything. You are good to go.

@mamatwiny, @sysengr, @Tinkybabe, @soonest, welcome o. You will carry to term in Jesus Name. Amen.

@lady25, I think you should go to the hospital to get this checked out. Pele sis.

@kelizosuy, e-hugs to you sis. It's great to see you so hopeful. Always remember You are a great mama. Do not ever think otherwise. Don't. And you know the best part, that little pumpkin kicking in your tummy loves you even more. Just keep hope alive always !

@goodfortun, yay! You have opened the month with BA. Congrats. May God bless your LO and bring you joy always.

@proudmum38, sorry to your little boy. Wishing him fast recovery.

We started with 6 members, now we're here! How far teamies? Please supply us with lo's gender if you've found out. As for me, scan so far haven't shown, and dh said till October before another scan.

Have we started feeling the braxton hicks yet? I think I have, but not very regularly yet. But the kicks and tumblings are so much a times I feel lo wants to jump out!

And Chai! I discovered stretch marks on my tummy!! I used to be happy, thinking there was no stretch marks o, until one day... And dh had been seeing it all the while o, yet he never told me I accused him and he said he thought it was a normal phase. Biko, what can I use to remove them oo Abi they will go on their own after delivery? I rubbed Shea butter on it, but I don't know if it's effective. Chai! Motherhood is bae. Dh said I should leave it, so that it will not disturb his child
Please help me oo

And yes, please, our Muslim mamas, please we won't mind our share of the Sallah ram o. Please post your addresses and expect preggy visitors this season. I'm not missing out this time.
Happy Eid Kabir (hope I'm right) celebrations!!!


As we launch into the EMBER months, may we always have cause to rejoice. We shall not weep or sorrow over any of our loved ones. We shall proceed into the new year with our bundles of joy in our arms, surrounded by our loved ones. God bless and keep us, and cause His face to continually shine upon us. Amen.



HAPPY NEW MONTH MOTHERS!

Cappo, we are fine o. Amen to all your prayers. When I did scan some time ago, scan showed XY. Though I will still cross check next week because baby was moving all over the place and the sonographer wasn't so sure. As par, stretch marks, I have on my bum but my bump is free. Pimples/rashes all over my face, chest and back. Still vomiting. I don't think I've started feeling Braxton hicks yet. But we are good. Taking it one day at a time. And I am so grateful for this pregnancy.

Happy New Month mamas. Happy Holidays everyone.

Welcome MumIbeji, mumsgirl27, prettymaxy and other new mamas. You shall carry to term. Amen.

lioha, other mamas have spoken well. No need to talk to the girl again, she's not worth it at all. Watch and see hubby's reaction and approach him wisely. I see you're a strong woman. God will give you strength to overcome this and heal your marriage.

For mamas experiencing heartburn, I discovered that my calcium tabs really help relieve heartburn. Mist mag stopped working for me and Gestid does well on some days and some other days doesn't. Calcium is alkaline and neutralizes existing acid in the stomach, relieving heartburn and Calcium carbonate is used as an antacid too. Milk which relieves heartburn too contains calcium. So you can try taking your calcium meds when you feel the onset of heartburn or immediately after food that trigger it.

beyedew:
Awww sis, welcome to my world. I don't think there is any remedy for it, you just have to wait it out. This too shall pass .

Amen. Thanks sis.

babythug:
Sleeping on the left and drinking loads of fluids also helped to offer some relief.

See if you can get someone to massage it for you from time to time. Bandaging it tightly may also help

Thanks sis. I tried sleeping on my left and it really helped. Dh helps me too.

zaynie:
Congratulations and welcome back Sis, have a healthy and fruitful pregnancy, you'll definitely carry to term and deliver with ease. Amin.

Thanks Sis. I understand. Amen and Amen.

@mooretes, Thanks sis. Sincerely it's not funny at all. I'll complain to my Dr when I go for Antenatal and perhaps get a splint if it worsens. Tho some tips lessened the numbness recently.

Let me quickly read up pages I've missed.

Wonderful educative thread here. These DIYs are lovely. Seriously following and saving these for the days ahead.

Pretty cute bumps everywhere. God will keep these bumps for us till maturity. Amen.

Princesskf and other mamafresh with cute babies, weldone mamas

Congrats Trendytessy and all mamas that have put to bed. May God bless your babies. Amen.

Mamas please come to my aid. For some days now, I noticed my palms and fingers, especially the right one, are usually numb when I wake up in the morning. It's very terrible during the day and relieves me by evening. Some days are worse, some days are better. While it lasts, my hands are almost useless. I can't grip anything, can't type, can't lift anything even a satchet of water, I basically can't use my palms and fingers without wincing. Getting out of bed this morning was a battle, the numbness was crazy. I didn't know it was Carpal tunnel syndrome until I Googled it this afternoon. Mamas who have gone through this Carpal Tunnel stuff, please how did you manage this? Of all the pregnancy symptoms I have experienced, this is the worst, it is very terrible. Mamas abeg, put mouth for this matter.

Pweetiebabe:
My sis na DAT transport self dey do me one kind, and seriously I no won work for 1 and half or 2months den stop again(cos to get teacher half of d term might nt b dat easy for dem)and God knows I no fit go back after delivery o cos d school gives only 41days mat leave with no pay and if u wish to extend ur mat leave to 2 months dey are OK with it just don't expect shishi o.

Hmmmmm, 41 days mat leave with no pay? Not encouraging at all. So all the time you'll spend at home, no shishi will enter your pocket. It's almost as if you're unemployed already, because you'll only earn income for at most 2 months and then no more income till whenever you resume with them again. The working conditions are not favorable IMHO. Cool and convenient for the school, not cool for you the employee at all.

My dear, just follow your heart. You already seem at home with resigning. You can use this time to structure and stabilize the biz before baby comes. However be ready to make sacrifices and patch up on the home front financially until business hits the ground running. If you can get someone to assist you, that'll be good.

@ElmaSpeed, lmao. See collection of cords o

Pweetiebabe:
Advice needed mamas.....

It's a tough call. The fact that you are spending close to half of the pay on transport is not really encouraging but then, the change will really go a long way to buy a few things for baby. If you can hold out a little until you go for maternity leave, at least, have a little cash at hand. Then you resign and get something else after baby comes, except if you have something else doing.

@Shadeadu, welcome to the pregnancy thread. A level of stomach cramp is normal but it shouldn't ache you so terribly. And some first trimester symptoms can mimic malaria, are you really sure it's malaria. Pls do not self medicate. I suggest you get checked out by your doctor to be really sure. It's well with you sis.

@katchycouture, lovely bs. Congrats once again. Kisses to our pink baby. May she always be a source of joy and gladness in your family. Amen.

@legendsmother, what a cute chubby boy you have there. He is adorable. He will continue to grow from strength to strength. Amen.

@phlakkeys, you are special to us all. And you really are a lovely woman, it hurts that you had to go through that. God's total healing on you. Amen. Baby dust to you sis.

@kaffy4bill, wow, welcome back mama. We have really missed you. Hope you are doing great. Please pop in more often.
