Good afternoon everybody. Where are my June MAMAS please come out o I need you to be active online and offline so that having our baby we not be difficult on the deal day.

Pls come out Mamas

So sorry about this, Ma. I had the same experience. For the vomiting, I just vomited. I didn't hold it back. Once I vomit, I'm relieved. So don't hold it. For the spitting, I licked bitter kola. I did NOT chew or swallow it o. It contains caffeine, and it is not healthy for baby. I will just cut a small portion and put it in my mouth. That small portion can stay in my mouth all day. It helped me to stop spitting. I also did TomTom and Vicks lemonplus sweet at some point. Just do it in moderation. It's well..

Mizjemie25:
Good day everyone.. been a silent follower for a couple of weeks now.. congrats to all the new mamas.. I’m a first time mum and I’m 6weeks gone... since the day I discovered I was pregnant... it’s been hell for me.. it started with DH complaining of me running temperature at night.. as at then I was expecting my period but the only sign I keep getting was serious and excruciating cramps.. until past my expected period date.. I decided to do a home test and it came out positive �. I had cold and catarrh and decided to visit the hospital.. I was confirmed pregnant with upper respiratory infection. I was placed on drugs for one week.. I noticed I wasn’t getting any better and went back to the hospital only to be admitted.. the drugs didn’t do shit�� I was discharged on the 3rd day.. I have been so unsettled and weak these past weeks.. constant urge to vomit and spit.. the spitting part is making me so uncomfortable.. I can’t eat as much as I used to before, constant stomach bloating and lightheaded. Mama that had these symptoms, how did you cope with it especially the spitting and vomiting ( sometimes I do feel relieved when I vomit �).. is there anything I can do to help relieve my symptoms.. I’m a shadow of myself right now �.. I can’t go out neither can I cook �please I need your advice!

I love this! Glory to God Almighty! Congratulations mama. May God bless and keep him.

Happy New Month Cappo. What's the issue? Have you rectified it?

chocome:
Good afternoon my beautiful people and happy New Month. I have issues with my Nairaland account

Alright then. It's well. You can try this position, it helps me. Put your back legs straight, while your front leg should be resting on a pillow with bent knee. Then, you can get a cloth or towel to support your tummy from under. The picture is shown below.

tifelola:

Yes..only when I lie down

Do you only feel this pain when you lie down? Or is the right side of your stomach paining you?

tifelola:
Good morning mamas..for some days now I've been experiencing stomach pain if I sleep on my right side even if its just for 5mins and sleeping on left side alone is becoming more uncomfortable by the day since we can't lie on our backs. Pls,what can be the likely cause and what can i do..antenatal is till next Tuesday.
N.B in third trimester already

Good evening everyone,
I'm new here FTM
EDD: june 16

You said she spot some blood and that it only happens when she tries to clean herself up after urinating. Does she have painful or burning sensation while urinating? If she does, then it's urinary tract infection (UTI). UTI comes with a little spotting when you wipe after urinating. I had that experience a few times with painful urination and itching. It is common in pregnancy. Please go to another hospital. They'll run a urine test to be sure. And they'll give her antibiotics that is safe in pregnancy.

kennyjoy:
Please Help!!! Good evening everybody, Kudos to all mothers and awaiting mothers in the house, I luckily stumbled upon this thread after reading all my search engine today, sorry I know this is a woman affair thread it’s just that my wife doesn’t used to nairaland that’s why am asking this question on her behalf coz we are worried.
it’s happens my wife is 52days pregnant, we went for doctor Apt last 2weeks which he recommend will do ultrasound, so we did it in same hospital, after the whole process the technician told us that we will have to come back in 2weeks time that the baby is still forming so he can picture it clearly so we left and the doctors recommend some drugs(folic acid, vitamin C etc). So last night she having a cramp just like her normal mensural cramps(Hold and relieve) immediately she went to showers so she can go to bed, she later call my attention that she spot some blood when she trying to cleanup, she was scared but I calm her down that nothing to worried about that tomorrow morning we definitely go and see a Doctor, so will eventually get to see doctor this morning and he told us to get an ultrasound test done but unfortunately they don’t work on Sunday so will are doing it tomorrow and the doctor also write a records for us to see a Gynecologist this week.
Before and after the doctor Apt she was doing good no cramps no blood until this evening the cramps started again and she see some little blood P.S she only see it when she’s trying to clean herself up after urinating.

Please Help, I’ve been trying calming her down
We just got married and this is her first Baby.
Thanks.

Hey Cappo . We are 33 weeks now o. Praying for a May baby. The major issue is the pelvic pain whenever I try to walk after sitting for a while. And trying to find a comfortable position to sleep on the bed. Asides these, third trimester is sweet. It is the best trimester for me cos I eat well and I'm not having morning sickness. May God give us great testimonies and finish what He has started in Jesus name, Amen.
How are you doing, Cappo?

Cappo, I hail o

Hmmmm... So comforting. Now I can relax . Thank you, Ma.

indian03:

Don't worry....the baby will.turn...it was today my doctor Co firmed my baby has turned. He even put my hands on my pelvic to feel the head abd am 36weeks+. Though I still think the baby is changing . My first child turned from transverse to head down at exactly 38 weeks and I gave birth 41 weeks+. 31 weeks is still a little far I fact your baby might change overnight

Thanks Cappo

chocome:


Am so sorry for the pelvic pain is LO weight on you I think is causing the pain, relax and don't stress yourself ma'am. as for your LO breach position, I don't think you should worry yourself about that for there is still time for the baby to turn before labor Will start just follow the doctor's instructions and repeat scan after one month. All is well ma'am

Mama, the itching has stopped. Thank God. Na pelvic pain dey disturb me now. We went for a scan at 31 weeks. Doctor said baby is in breach position. That I should repeat scan in one month time. I hope there's no problem with it? Is there anything I can do to make the baby turn head down?

chocome:


How is the itchin, I hope it has stopped after applying the mycoten? My sister if you see the way am always checking calendar eh, am thinking of what to engage my mind with so that I can think of something else

Able Cappo! I'm fine o. Just very TIRED these days. And there's this vaginal itching almost every week. I don tire for the thing. They gave me mycoten cream at the hospital. But the itching still comes and goes.
On the bright side, we are 31 weeks this week . Serious countdown don start o . And Belle is very big now. I'm still hoping to port to May .

chocome:
Happy Easter mothers. Team June how far?
I how is the ministry going we are almost there so Pls let's be active

Hmmmm... I can't imagine how you're feeling right now. If they take cold water away from me, I can't survive it o. If I drink any water that is not cold, I'll vomit. They've been my saving grace since first trimester. I'm in third trimester now and baby is fine. I don't think there's anything wrong with cold water. My doctor also said it's fine. Although, my water are not usually iced cold. Just a little cold. You can beg them to allow you mix the cold water with warm one to reduce the coldness a bit.

ThatPetiteChic:


Last week, my hubby reported me to my parents that I love taking cold drinks and they warned me to desist from it. As it is now, I don't have access to the freezer. During this MS stage, cold drinks have been my saving grace. I don't know how I will survive without cold water. It seems too much fruits and vegetables purge me. The way I purged throughout the week was scary, i had to go for scan to be sure my baby is okay. Thank God, everything is fine.

Affliction shall not rise a second time, Amen.

Mama, does the yellowish green discharge have a fishy smell? Does it smell very bad? If it does, then you're right. It is Trichomoniasis. It is caused by a parasite. And the drug you took is the right one for it. Although, I don't know if that drug is safe in pregnancy. You should have just gone to the hospital instead.

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). This means that, your husband also has it. It was transmitted sexually. The reason why it looks like the drug isn't working may be because you had sex with him during treatment. You should stay off sex for about a week or more while you're undergoing treatment. . And your husband should also be treated ASAP. If he's not treated, it will be a waste of time cos the infection will reoccur.

I believe your baby is fine. But, don't risk it. Infections can cause issues. I'm not happy that your hospital is not taking this matter seriously! Kindly visit another hospital immediately. So that treatment can start at once for you and your husband.
All the best, Ma.

Pinkie2018:
According to Google, I had trichonomiasis and the remedy is Metronidazole. I discussed it with my hubby and started taking it. I noticed that the discharge changed slightly from thick to light but still comes out more. Pls is there any suggestions on how I can treat it without affecting my baby??

Good day Mamas. I'd like to say this for the malaria drugs in pregnancy. I'm a Parasitologist. And malaria is caused by a parasite that I studied. It is called plasmodium. In pregnancy, this parasite can be very bad. They gather on the surface of the placenta and affect the fetus. They can cause fetal loss, low-birth weight and maternal anemia.

So, WHO recommends that pregnant women living in malaria-endemic countries (like Nigeria) should be given malaria drugs from their SECOND TRIMESTER whether they have malara or not. . This malaria drug is for prevention NOT treatment. It doesn't matter if you're down with malaria or not because Nigeria has mosquitoes. It should be taken two or three times from the second trimester. It is given during antenatal. They call it Intermittent Preventive Treatment of Malaria (IPTp or SP). It is usually fansidar. You swallow the three tablets at once.

Please, let's endeavour to take this drug from our second trimester. If your doctor doesn't mention it, ask him or her about it. It is WHO's recommendation.

Malaria in pregnancy can be fatal. Sometimes, the mother may be fine, but a lot is going on with the placenta and the fetus. This is because the malaria parasite usually cluster on the surface of the placenta in pregnant women. Thereby affecting the food supply of the baby and leading to low birth weight and other issues. Please, the drug is not for treatment. It is for prevention. Let's try to take it.

Thank you

Able Cappo, my Belle don big already o . We are fine. Shopping is half way done. Thanks Mama. Sexyborning to us all.

[quote author=chocome post=99855160]12 Minor Disorders of Pregnancy

Good morning Sabi mamas . Na curiosity bring me come this morning. Please, what's the thing about safety pins? My mother and mother inlaw insists that I must not go out without putting it in my cloth. My mom even puts it by herself in my clothes . Is it mere superstition or is it real? What is really the work of the safety pin? Does anyone have a real life story to share?
Thank you

It's well, mama! . I know you'll be back with a great testimony! In Jesus name, Amen.

BlessedMyra:
Good morning all thanks to all those that consoled me I really appreciate I feel no woman will go through these heartbreak and pain I am going through

But it’s well
I enjoyed the few times I spent here
I still hold on to that memory of my crazy complains I miss being pregnant but it’s well

Thank you all
I exit to come bk better
I wish every pregnant woman a safe delivery
To my October team I love you Nd I wish to see those beautiful kids

Thanks Mama! You just strengthened my mind, seriously! Congratulations on your baby.

HaywhyA:
I posted on this forum few days ago asking if anyone has had an induction done before, the doctor recommended induction because my baby was post dated and her weight was skyrocketing.

I was supposed to be induced by 12 midnight yesterday but contraction spontaneously started at 2pm surprisingly, I didn’t even know it was contractions until I got to the hospital at 3 pm to be admitted for the induction

The doctor checked me and we were all shocked when he said I was 2cm dilated, before 7pm, I was 6cm. I gave birth to my baby girl at some minutes to 12 midnight naturally without induction

To be honest, I have read a lot about labour pains and how extreme it could get but surprisingly it wasn’t as painful as people make it seem . I know we have different bodies but if you make up your mind, it is not unbearable. When the contractions came, I just took deep breathes like I had practiced online and my husband helped me with massaging of my back. that was all.

I wasn’t given any painkillers at the hospital, I wanted to go for epidural Earlier but they said we have to book for it beforehand and we didn’t want to wait and I am glad we didn’t pay for that as it wouldn’t even have been needed.

Infact I can say, when it was time to have my Baby, time to push the baby out, what I felt was intense pressure to push and not pain

It was during the dilation I felt pain but it wasn’t even half as painful as I have read, breathing techniques I read online really helped as most of the time I kept breathing hard instead of screaming.

So expectant mothers, don’t be scared, if you prepare up your mind and you know it’s just for a while, you would be Very fine, not everything we read about labour pains are true as some people cannot even manage pain at all and make it seem like it was hell for them.

Peace out ✌️

This really broke my heart . I'm so sorry, ma. Please, keep hope alive. God surely wants to bless you. He has proclaimed that we should all be fruitful and multiply. He is not happy about this. Just settle it in your mind that He is on your side. The devil is a liar. Please, find a GOOD and well-equipped private or federal hospital and do all the necessary tests. This will rule out any physical issues. Then, set time out to really pray (I know it's not easy, cos you've been praying), but try again.

Pray with these Bible verses:
1. God has called me fruitful. I will have all the children I want because God said so! (Genesis 1:28)
2. I will not miscarry. I will not cast my young before it's time. (Exodus 23:26).

These two verses helped me to conceive. I confessed them day and night. Even when you get pregnant, don't stop the confessions. Continue until you deliver.

Please, be strong Ma. What God cannot do doesn't exist. He will surely give you a testimony.

Splasshhh:
Well, mommas.

I am just tired.
Funny, I still live God more everyday but, the question is, "when would you bless me right, God?"

I could not come here since last year July to announce my delivery since I lost her to sudden bleeding from placenta abrasion or whatever that was called.

2 miscarriages, 1 still birth and another miscarriage at 6wks yesterday, has left me so quiet and angry in my spirit.

Like why?
What?
When?

Now, I feel like fighting something.
Must I miscarry and no one is giving a particular reason to why?

Do I have to enter 12 weeks bed rest immediately I am confirmed pregnant just to make it past 1st trimester risks?

I am absolutely tired but this time I am not sad but angry.

Please pray for me

Thanks Mama! This is quite helpful.
