AbbynHummy:


Depends on what you call lightening cream. But seriously no cream can really combat melasma in pregnancy. Some of these lightening creams are not safe to you and your unborn child. Avoid anything that has to do with steroids, hydroquinone and mercury. Unfortunately most lightening creams in the market are laced with these harmful chemicals, but the manufactures won't indicate it on the ingredients. So it's best to stick with only moisturizer this period. It's better to be safe than sorry.

ohk ohk thanks, I will stop using cream now

Good afternoon mummies, pls is it safe to use any lightning cream and soap during pregnancy? Cos I was told I shouldn’t use any cream at all and that it’s dangerous.

South Africa seems to be one of those countries that uses perception in deciding whether to grant an applicant a visa or not . While travel history is not a requirement those visa officers may be of the perception that you want to visit and remain in their country beyond the approved period. You can improve your chance of positive outcome by showing that you have a job/stable income, travel history and a plan of what you intend to do in South Africa. This plan should be stated in an introduction letter.
Ordinarily you don’t need to go to this length but since you are encountering difficulties in getting your application approved you could try that.

but how can I have travel history when all countries refused to grant me visa? I have multiple registered businesses which I have used for application, I hv used my former place of work (construction company) yet no way. I have tried all means. Uk agents almost emptied me because of travel, I have tried Europe too, Canada in fact I’m tired. I have prayed and fasted too lol

abnot:


What’s your profile like ? Age , profession, educational level , income level and travel history ?

I’m 29 female, bsc holder, I have about 6m in my Acct, no travel history

Good afternoon everyone, why is sa finding it difficult to grant visa? This is the 7th times I’m applying for sa visa since 2018 through all mean and yet no visa, I have applied through Lagos, abuja and Ghana. Not only South Africa, I have tried other countries too. yet no visa. Pls is there something anyone can suggest?

The 7th time I’m apply for sa visa through all means. Hmmmmm what could be the cause?

How far have you gone...I had malaria in my 12th week,took that 3in one tablet but it didn't work. My DH who is a med/Dr had to buy Lonart DS which I took for 3days n got improved. It is well with you ma

16 weeks and 6days, I’m currently in the hospital tho, getting better now

ThatPetiteChic:
Sorry, I've been missing in action. Wasn't feeling too well. I noticed my hands and feet were becoming white even though I've been taking blood tonic from the beginning of this pregnancy. Anyway, I was advised to take this "hospital too far" leaves and got better after taking it. I hope it has no side effects because I try not take too much.

I hope we have started registering for ANC, I'd be doing that on Friday. How's our LOs doing? Are you all enjoying this second trimester like I am? My bump is already showing . I doubt if I can hide it after this month.

Roll call for our Overcomers ship 11/5/2021

thanks sis, maleria won’t lemme rest, they placed me on drugs and injections, I’m really scared, as I type I’m feeling really feverish, I was even given maleria prevention drugs that’s 3 drugs in one dose yet I still feel feverish. I’m so tired and scared�

Good afternoon everyone, pls has anyone been on progesterone or any injection during early pregnancy? I just took my last injection and I haven’t been myself, I’m 12weeks gone, I was having serious cramps yesterday and I went to the hospital and I was given many drugs which I’m even scared to take. I even requested for ultrasound which was declined. Pls has anyone been in my shoes or I shouldn’t be worried.

ThatPetiteChic:


Hope you went to the hospital? I guess you're keeping yourself busy to reduce boredom.

Last week, hubby was complaining of a particular gown I wore. Though it's tight, but my stomach really protrudes in it. I noticed my tummy is slightly bigger because I have a really flat stomach. I don't want my bump to come out now with this my slim and not tall body.

yes sis

ThatPetiteChic:

I think my MS is reducing and my appetite is coming back gradually, though the metallic taste is still there. I have a question o. My breast is itching me badly for 2 weeks. I changed bra thinking the bra is small for me, but it still itches. I use shear butter for now and reduced bra wearing time. Am I the only one with this package? How do you manage it?

Affliction shall not rise a second time, Amen.

amen, thanks oh. I just recovered from malaria thank God for his mercy. My ms is gradually fading away oh. I can now eat anything except rice and stew. When should we expect bump? Lol

Good evenin mummies in the house, this particular supplement was haded to my drugs at the antenatal clinic and I have been thinking weda to return it or is it ok? Pls what do u think?

ThatPetiteChic:


Pls, don't cry! Our mamas here will keep you company including me . You can get yourself occupied with religious activities and humanitarian assistance. I will advise you to stay away from herbs and concoctions, it's not advisable. I take pregnacare, 1 tablet daily because I was advised to take it. Why didn't your nurses answer you? Is it a government hospital? Lol, funny people. Look for a better hospital around you. You can get one of your siblings or relative to stay with you, just to kill the boredom .

If you have any worries, pls feel free to mention me.

thank you

I have been indoors feeling so emotional and I sometimes cry myself to sleep pls I want to buy pregnacare plus and start taking, will it be okay?, I was even telling the nurses my drugs is finished and they didn’t even answer me.
