Folic acid, Yes
Till you give birth.
Injections
Just 2 and you have taken it already.
Fansidar is once monthly.
You are doing well.
I only took one injection, my second appointment is after a month of taking the first dose.

Flappy222:
Ah thanks for this.
I was getting my woman the drug that I posted.
Will def change it to this and moreover she has been clamoring that she ought to have stoped folic acid, please is it true?
I thought a pregnant woman needs to take it till she gives birth?
And also, I can’t remember the 3rd supplement to be taken; folic acid, b co and what’s the 3rd?

Debbieeeeeee:

Of course! Get a good breast pump within your budget, create space in your freezer, get bags to store the milk after expressing and date and label so you know how to pick up when you need, you can also get an organiser for it if you want to splurge. I use the spectra gold breast pump and it’s good. You can do formula and breast feeding there’s nothing wrong with it, gone are the days you’ll be labelled a bad mom for feeding formula to your baby

The bloating thing ehn, we dey cope. Na the headache me no like and she no wan use anything for the headache. The same symptom she had all through last pregnancy. As for the tummy showing part, I guess nothing wey I fit do about am.

Oluwasemiloba:
BS

I started having contractions on Wednesday 18th evening, and it didn't stop throughout the night. My husband woke up and started packing the hospital bag and he also boiled water, I was just laughing at him. We got to the hospital on Thursday around 4pm, I was checked and they said I was only 2cm and the cervix is not properly located, so they tried to bring it forth and I was placed on admission. I had contractions throughout the night as well. Regular ones. So when it was 6am, I was taken to the delivery room because I was already 5cm dilated. From that 6am till 11am, there was no progress in dilation, so they set oxytocin for me to aid it.
Then the contractions started in earnest, not stopping and I was almost running mad, my membrane was ruptured but the head of the baby did not come down into the cervix. They tried all they could but it wasn't working. From 11am to 3pm, I was seeing death and life in that room, later they checked my BP, pulse, fetal heartbeat and it was discovered that her heartbeat is dropping. That's how they stopped the oxytocin and prepared me for emergency CS. I entered the theater by 3:20pm, I couldn't walk, couldn't sit, lying down was another issues and I was dripping liquid . Eventually the baby was brought out by 3:26pm, and I was taken to the ward around 5pm where another side of life began. We were finally discharged on Tuesday and we had our naming ceremony yesterday.
Recovery is another thing entirely... Still in process .
So sorry if my story is disjointed

Funkaish:


All will be well sis, my first son was born at 28 weeks due to preeclampsia in a general hospital emergency CS. BP started at 6 months and was managed till 7months. He spent 10 days in NICU and he was discharged. He is 5 years old now and perfect. My second pregnancy I was placed on aspirin from 12 week pregnancy due to my history, I used two hospitals one is private, and one is general hospital. I started taking, a mixture of beetroot, carot, apple, half a lemon, to control BP, at a point I was admitted to the hospital, that was year 2020, the pregnancy was managed till 36th week and an emergency CS was done. I had a bp machine, and a urine strip to check my self and watch out for protein in the Urine. This is my 3rd, also placed on aspirin from 12th week, I'm currently in the UK and midwives and doctor are monitoring back to back due to my previous cases, I also take a mixture of beetroot and other fruits. I have urine strip n BP machine with to check myself. God will see us through in Jesus name.

It's pregnancy induced bp. I had it in my last pregnancy. At 38 weeks my BP was 140. Not to scare you but doctor told me it's safer the baby is outside as soon as possible. So he gave me 3 days after which I was induced and had my son alhamdullilahi. Where I'm going is, your BP is 140, and you are 24 weeks,I think you need to be monitored in the hospital and taken care of so it won't increase further. I'm thinking the doctor should have suggested admission for proper monitoring because you are still far and it's a precious baby and not just giving you vasoprin and let you go home. Pls you need another doctor opinion on this. the bp will only be back to your usual when you have your baby. Please go to another hospital for second opinion. This is not something you cause or anything, it's Induced by the baby and doctors don't know why only that it will go once the baby is out. I wish you safest delivery ever with your bundle of joy. Seek another doctors opinion pls. It's not your fault at all

Debbieeeeeee:

Take your aspirin faithfully after a meal, purchase a good bp monitor to monitor your bp at home at intervals and make sure you’re recording the values you get(tell your doctor what you’re getting). Take this bp matter seriously don’t let it escalate. It is well with you by Gods grace.

Debbieeeeeee:

All will be well but there’s need to be worried as this is one of the signs of preeclampsia that should be taken seriously so it doesn’t escalate hence the aspirin75mg as a preventive measure from the hospital, if it stays at 140 then they may have to put her on bed rest to prevent them from delivering the baby early. @iamfertile please make sure your doctor is on top on this bp issue and if you feel he’s not doing enough don’t hesitate to switch to where you feel comfortable or a better facility if you can afford it , I’m talking from experience.

Just follow your medication as the doctor prescribed. Hopefully, you are at the stage where antenatal is every other week thus, you and your baby will be well monitored.

sunbestie:

Enjoy your food in peace nah... Some can't stomach anything sef.
Is the discharge smelling? If not then it is change in hormones so is normal.

My dearest cappo

ladyrachy:

Congratulations ma,the good lord will perfect this pregnancy no loss no regrets. I also had issue with prolactin but once I got preggy I stopped the drug for it. Though I heard high prolactin can cause miscarriage as well, since I was 5 weeks gone and didn't miscarry then nothing will hinder it again. I only went for scan and was given progesterone injection and some antenatal drugs to take. Today am a mother so will you be also. Congratulations is ur portion at the end of ur nine month journey amen.
