Congratulations TiffanyJ, the good Lord will perfect the healing of you and your baby.

Mothers please, when going to the hospital ask questions or go with someone that loves you and can ask series of questions on your behalf.

If you are not satisfied with a particular hospital. There's no time too late to change to a new hospital. They will only talk.

True at the bolded words! I just changed my hospital at 30wks, I have been a bit unsettled about the hospital I registered with b'cos they were supposed to treat me for a yeast infection, they didn't have the prescribed med at the time and promised it will be available in the evening. I paid and left, 24hrs later, I was yet to hear from them. When they finally called 48hrs later, the nurse I spoke with said it wasn't available early enough because it was raining the previous day and they couldn't go to buy it .
Talmbout raining when I was at site running survey for a client in a raincoat, why leave your hospital doors open when it rains if the rain will stop you from rendering services?
The doctor called later to apologize about the nurse's response but I already made up my mind about them and didn't mince words in telling him how I feel about their management.
I can't be in Labour and be worried about meeting an unprofessional nurse, Pregnancy and delivery is hard enough already without adding unnecessary anxiety to the patient.
That action alone made me decided not to use them anymore cos na from fart we go know how shit go smell.
I can't leave my life and that of my unborn baby in the care of nonchalant medical personnels.
Needless to say, I changed my hospital last week and I am more relaxed with my new choice.

Mothers trust your instinct, if it doesn't look right, doesn't smell right and doesn't feel right.... IT IS DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT!

Good evening mamas, hope we are all good.

Please I am sorry for disturbing you. I just came across a thread created by Debbysuave where she wrote about being pregnant and in need of assistance.

I called her to verify and she said she stays around Ayobo, Lagos, it is not far from where I stay and I plan going to check but I may not be free until Saturday because of work, please if any one can help us verify tomorrow or Thursday, I will really appreciate it though I will still try to do so.

Please she said her EDD is October 27 so it means she will be putting to bed anytime soon.

Yes, it is super awkward but please let us come together to help her once we can verify, please.

She hasn't gotten the items on her hospital list though I intend to help with some of them as well as some clothes(new and worn by my DS.)

Her number is on the thread she created, please check it if you can and reach out if you can.

Thank you

I just found the thread, I will call and check on her tomorrow as I live in Ayobo too, hopefully the weather will be favorable. Would have called tonight but saw this post quite late.
Pregnancy on its own is hard enough without having to worry about baby essentials.
Will update here and let you know how it goes.

Happy waddling to all mommas.

Joyfulmama:
Nice writeup teamie.

My very honorable Cappo, special salute.
I hope this new week will be easy on us all. I desperately need that divine easiness on my pelvic.

Congratulations to mamas popping their angels, happy waddling to the rest of us still pushing.

Team January, every new week brings us all closer to beholding these beauties, some days may be hard but we keep pushing till we announce victorious births.
See you all at the finish line.

I looked in the mirror today and I cried.
I’m just feeling so down at the moment I don’t know if it’s hormones but I’m just feeling so out of it, like I just can’t recognise the human being in front of me. I know I should be grateful for this blessing but I feel I’m losing myself in the process. My face has become so much darker than the rest of my body, I’m adding weight at an extreme pace, I don’t want to go out anymore I don’t feel good in anything I wear. My lips are constantly peeling then I have all these dark spots on my face from the acne I had from the first trimester. I don’t have the energy to be myself, to do normal things, I’m just moody most of the time. I’m just thinking out loud though , and I hope I can feel better about myself as I continue this pregnancy. I’m not ungrateful.

Like our other sabi mamas has correctly said, it's all in the package, the hormones are messing with you but it won't be long now.
Pregnancy deals us all one thing or the other, some of it, not so pleasant. I look unbelievably ugly now to the point that hubby told me this morning that I now look like a very wicked woman .
I went to register my toddler in school, the HOS said she doesn't look like me at all, that she must look like her dad, I smiled and nodded. This is a girl that is my carbon copy but of course, pregnancy has made me a shadow of my self. Do I feel bad? No, 'cause I know it's just for a while.
It's okay to cry, It's okay to feel down but don't remain down, cheer up and remember your body is making a brand new human being, your body is doing what science can't do, your body is working so hard, stretching itself to its limit to give you a precious gift you won't have to return.
You will get your body back, most of it but it won't matter any more when you hold your trophy in your hands.
Brace up mama, we will all be here cheering you on.

�There’s no trophy for delivering naturally vs. opting for an epidural or having a C-section.
�There’s no trophy for breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding.
�There’s no trophy for losing the baby weight the fastest. 
�There’s no trophy for cutest delivery gown (FOR THE LOVE, it’s okay to look like you just had a baby!!!).
�There’s no trophy for the best baby homegoing outfit or most creative birthday party theme.
�There’s no trophy for how many activities you sign your kids up for.
[This list could go on forever]

Because the only trophy you’ll carry through life is the bond you create with your baby. We all go home from the hospital with a big bag of mesh undies and sanitary pads no matter how glamorous our Insta pics look.

Happy bumping

ToyosiR., I am so sorry for your loss. May God give you that rainbow baby.

Please does anyone know a good hospital for birthing at AYOBO IPAJA Lagos? apart from Sama Hospital, I have been using Samas but want a change this time.

Team January, I hope we are all enjoying the burst of energy.

jazzyjazz, sorry about the persistent MS, I can't even imagine how you are coping but don't worry, God is your muscle. I'm hoping it eases off soon.

Ruthiegal:
Good evening mommas. Please I sudddnly developed rashes all over my body. It’s been itching me like crazy. I went to the pharmacy but they won’t prescribe something for me. Inestead they said I should go and see a doctor first. And seeing doctors is quite pricey. Please what can I use on it. It’s really itching me. It’s all over my neck, chest, stomach and back

Sorry about the rash, I had it in 3rd trimester with my 2017 baby on my bump, legs and arms, the itch was crazyyyy, I would itch with metal comb and tore my skin lots of times. Doctors could give me anything, it was so bad I opted for CS just to get the baby out before I lose my mind but thankfully baby came on her own a day before the scheduled C-section.
Funny enough, the rash still last for a month postpartum.

Wha my mother Inlaw did that got me a short relief was having me bath in warm water mixed with squeezed bitter leaf juice and also creaming me with bitter leaf juice. Angesia power helped for a bit too.

Stop bathing with sponge and don't have a cold bath.
The Lord is your strength. IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT IN THE END.

Honorable Cappo, I am completely loyal, well done.

Abeg add us for your list.

Hi mommies, me and my husband's rhesus factor are not compatible. I am B- , he is A+. Our doctor only booked me for a vaccine (RhoGAM) injection after delivery. I recently read in several articles online that it is recommended to have an RhoGAM vaccine on week 28 of pregnancy (which I didn't) and another after delivery. Now I am a little worried. Hope my baby and future babies will be fine if I just take the vaccine after deliver.


P.S. I took a Indirect Coombs Test (ICT) aka the Indirect Antiglobulin Test or IAT at 36weeks and it come back "Negative"

Since your coombs test is negative, that means you are not sensitized and might not need the 28 wks shot.
The articles online will most likely point you to take a shot as 28wks as it is the norm in America but our gyneas here don't share same opinion.

I took the 28wks RhoGAM shot in my first pregnancy simply because i had a spotting incident, my gyne adviced I take the shot to avoid possible sensitization.
I also took within 72hrs after delivery.

My subsequent pregnancy, I only took within 72hrs after delivery as I didn't have any spotting issues, I don't also intend to take at 28wks of this pregnancy until after delivery.

I also know 2 other rhesus negative mommas that has only been taking RhoGAM within 72hrs after deliveries without ever taking the 28wk shot as they didn't have any possible incident of sensitization and they haven't had a single issue about that.

Huge congratulations to all mommas that has delivered their precious ones, the BS has been my succor in the worst times of MS, thankfully I am beginning to feel human again, life is coming back as I knew it.

Jazzyjazz I hope you are feeling so much better now too, HG is a terror.

Team January, hope you are soaking up on the 2nd trimester burst of energy.

Happy bumping to all mommas, may we all birth healthy babies.

Blacma:
Because of Braxton Hicks I had to go for scan it turned out am actually 19wks + and both were breech .I'm really scared of C-section .they are weighing 0.32kg and 0.27kg..mamas is that right? cos I google abt 20wks baby weight it is about 0.03kg


Mamas any clue

You have zero reason to worry about C-section right now, your babies position is the last thing that should give you a second thought at this stage, you are just in 2nd trimester, you still have a long way to go meaning that those lovelies still have more than enough time to flip as many times as the world best gymnasts.
Their weight too shouldn't be an issue to you now, twin babies are hardly more than 3.5kg at birth, mostly less even.

Happy bumping momma, don't sweat over nothing.

Congratulations to all who has had their babies and divine strength to all waddling mums.
Severe MS no let me look my phone, jazzyjazz it seems it was my story you wrote, incessant vomiting, can't keep anything down including water, vomiting blood, I just got off IV last night, was super dehydrated, cracked lips, no making enough urine and all. The hospital is a second home now, the tears, the pains, this Hyperemesis Gravidarum is hell, I had to join some HG Facebook support groups. Sometimes I wonder if this will ever end.
The Lord is your strength and this will end for us all in praise.

Team January, I hope amd pray you are having it easy.

chloe00:
As kaffy stick to that choloroquine it doesn’t affect , the other option is arthemeter & lumefatrine which is dangerous, I was given Alpha beta artheether and had miscarriage as soon as I completed the course , kaffy said the truth just use the chloro

Thank you and many thanks to Kaffy4bill. I was in the hospital today to take the Chloroquine via drip, just got home. Hopefully I will begin to feel better soon.
Thanks again and may God make it very easy for all mamas here.

kaffy4bill:
Please you need to go to the hospital..

You need to be hydrated and given drugs...

It’s well..

One love always..

Thank you Kaffy.
The IV at the hospital helped a lot.

Please mamas, is Chloroquine safe at 9weeks?
Was given at the hospital but I'm reluctant to take it.
I am asking because I have seen instances here where some drugs were prescribed but mamas here based on experience advices against it and
Secondly, with my first in 2015, I was also given chloroquine and began to spot, the doctor said it wasn't caused by the chloroquine then but you can never tell, hence my reservations about it now.

Please if anyone has successfully used it here, let me know.

My allday sickness has been on all time high. Aside the constant nausea and vomiting, since yesterday morning I have been vomiting dark colored blood each time I puke. It leaves my throat really sore and a slight pain in my stomach afterwards.
Is this going to ever get any better?

Good afternoon belle full mamas . I am 7 weeks gone and would be going for my first scan tomorrow, however I have being unable to drink water as it makes me vomit. Please what can I do to enable me keep water down to enable me have my scan done.

Try ice chilled water. I can't keep water down too but manages to keep down ice chilled water, it leaves me shivering few mins later but hey, I am get hydrated.

You can also try a few drops of lemon and sugar/salt in a cup of water to help keep it down.

Nimi22:

Debclem happy bumping and safe delivery

Thanks dear. How is our october cutie doing?

walejummy:
glory b to God, my baby has finally come, it was successful. 4kg

Congratulations momma

jazzyjazz:
A certified pharmacist should be able to tell you the right dosage. My doctor reduced my dosage because I have to drive everyday to work. He said a reduced dosage wld reduce the sleepiness I'd feel. You dont have to register before you see a doctor. I've not registered either but I see a doctor anytime I need to

Many thanks. Maybe life can come back as I know it. God bless you

kelizosuy:
Yayyyy former teamie
Congratulations ma happy bumping to you

@Anugod be PREPARED

Thanks hun. It feels good to be back.

walejummy:
thanks a lot, just kinda scared

Don't be, fear is the enemy, don't let it in. CS is very safe, forget any past tales you've heard, they are untrue.
I hope you have the time to be going this back and forth, not wasting precious time. Talk to your doctor and get the best thing done to bring out your bundle of joy biko.

jazzyjazz:
We're in the same situation.
My doctor prescribed promethazine in my first pregnancy and in this pregnancy it was prescribed again.

I'd say see a doctor and complain. Promethazine wld make you sleep but you would feel alot better and you would be able to keep some food down. I take mine at 6pm so I sleep early and sleep well at night. Though I wake up late in the morning

Thank you so much. Please what's the dosage, I will get from the pharmacy. I just read about it online and it is very safe, I haven't registered for this pregnancy yet but the others I wasn't given anything. I always knew that there would be something to help cos science won't just leave a woman feeling this miserable for months.
It's safe to say that you have just saved my life.

walejummy:
Pls mothers, am not undergoing much labour pain but only contraction since Sunday, doc said d service is not wild aft he has done induction twice, he's now preparing me for CS, is it ideal?

There is nothing wrong with CS, the utmost thing in your mind now is to have a safe delivery and carry your baby. If your doctor advices CS, trust him.
Have a very safe delivery, we await your good news.

Probably other mamas know better with experience.

Please mamas who knows how I can cope with severe morning sickness, this is my 3rd but every single time it feels worse. This has rely affected my quality of life, is there anything drug or anything I can do to feel less miserable? Crackers is not working.
The retching is worse, sometimes it feels like my skull will splitting when I retch or vomit, the palpitation is so bad. Please help, the days are long, the nights are even longer.
