I don't enjoy being away for that long oh, na condition make crayfish bend. No 2 pregnancy are the same can't compare someone carrying multiples to singlet.

nefertitiram:
Av been here since April. Its like I shd pull my hair out. Go with your instincts, cos in may, I went into preterm labour with an infection gone unnoticed. had like 5 docs on my case, even from NICU! No sign, nothing! Just one day mad fever then labour pains! Imagine it happened of I was still in 9ja.

Then the remaining months have been booooooring! Highlight of my weeks is antenatal. Lol

So if she's staying 5mths, she must have her reasons

Hello House,
please experience El paso Mama's has anyone ever used paid help (Nanny) while in El paso ie you travelled without any family to help you. How did you get the help and what was your experience.

Hello house,
Congrats to the New mama's in the house, pushing mama's I hail o! Proudly #teamdecember or #teamjanuary. My people pls help me o I have become confused with this EDD thing cause right now I have 3 different dates. My last scan was done at 17wks 1 day, and the Dr was telling me that my babies are measuring 19wks 5days and 18wks 5days. He even said I was 18wks not 17wks which one will one take as correct ? Meanwhile in a totally unrelated matter pls this native chalk (nzu) does anyone know if it has side effects my craving for it no get part 2 ooo. Pls share your thoughts. Thanks

Hello house please is there anyone who has applied for visa for a distance relative/ a Nanny for the purpose of helping to take care of the person & babies when they arrive? I am in a fix, I have a relative who has been with us for many years, she was my brothers Nanny I want her to apply with my mum for Visa but don't know her chances of getting one. I will have to travel at 24/28wks (expecting multiples) my mum can't come till about 34wks so I will need help. Please house advice or share similar experience.

Hello @dyout I have responded to you mail.

dyout:
Hi dear I am a Dec mum but leaving by Oct; let's hook up check ur mail.

I had heart burn too and was given gestid, but I was not feeling the taste and I did alot of research on home remedies for heart burn. I stayed away from peppery foods, I ate in small portions, I drank like a small tea cup of warm milk before I started eating, I drank one table spoon of apple cider vinegar + one table spoon of honey mixed with warm water like tea to help my heart burn and indigestion. I think the milk will help with your ulcer too. I use to have it in secondary school and milk was my saving grace. Don't worry soon you will begin to feel better an in my 11th wk and I can say there are good days and bad days just pray for strength and we shall all carry to full term IJN.

okeoghene4real:
Thanks so much. Will be forcing myself to eat from henceforth. Did u experience stomach ulcer and heartburn? My dr recommend Cinetidine tablets for the ulcer but anytime I take d medication, the vomiting intensify. Have stopped using it

My dear I know this feeling oh am also 10 wks plus and my own tiredness us very extreme, sometimes when I am doing my morning devotion I get short of breath, I have to calm down and gain myself back. I complained to my Dr and was told the tiredness can be associated with not eating well. Every time you feel tired try and eat something or drink tea. I have learnt to fight the no appetite thing cause it not helping try and eat something. My Dr said not eating can also make the throwing up to be more cause the acids in the stomach are reacting to no food. Try eat no matter how little if you don't feel better see your Dr.

okeoghene4real:
Good day mamas in the house. Am 10 weeks gone. For the past one week have been experiencing general body weakness couple with loss of appetite. Having been throwing up too.
Is this normal or should I seek medical attention immediately?

Helli new joy, I plan on going to El paso end of September although am not due till Dec/jan. I plan on using his grace lodge as well. Any luck on getting affordable ticket? Am seriously looking but nothing yet.

newjoy83:
Hi all. Are there any Oct moms that are planning on using Dresparati in elpaso? I'm planning to be there by September and will love to get to know any moms to be. I'm also planning on staying at His grace lodge and will be happy to get any information about anyone's past experience. I don't see a lot of Oct moms here though

Nogen oooo we need to talk will buzz you in a bit.

Nogen:
I'm in El Paso now. So if you need info on anything, just pm me.

I am in PH and it's a private fertility specialist hospital I did my IVF procedure there. I have asked questions, He says it's just their standard/backup procedure. I asked if it was compulsory and he said no but just a back up. I just haven't decided if I want to go on with it or not that's why I am seeking opinions.

kaffy4bill:
Congratulations, wishing u healthy and happy bumping. Don't knw why u doc want to put a cerclage @ 12 weeks, u mite wanna ask him or seek a second opinion. Pls wia r u? Is it a private hosp or a govt and is d doc a consultant gynae. Pls do ansa d questions

Hello house, I have been a silent reader for a very long time, I am 10wks pregnant with triplets. My Dr wants to do a cervical cerclage when I hit the 12 wks mark. Even though I have done a lot of research on this issue is there anyone who has experienced this and what was the reason for the procedure. I have never been pregnant and my hubby and I have been TTC for a while. Pls any explanation or guidance will help thank you.

This your budget is extremely tight and a bit too risky, even without Epidural it's going to be difficult for you to get a hospital in this range. Maybe with plenty of research you can pull it off but you have very little time for that considering you are 34wks. My advice is (1) see if you can increase your funds (2) look for a hospital with a payment plan, I know some people who finished paying their bills spread over 6months after they returned to Naija (3) Please don't be tempted to use Medical Aid just look for an alternative. Good luck.

betty24:
Hello good people in the house,a friend gave me Info about nairaland. I arrived US 4 days ago to have my baby,HoustonTexas to be precise I have $4500 on me and i am 34weeks gone. Kindly advice which hospital or birth center that i can afford with this amount. Thanking you in anticipation as I earnestly await your response.

My dear her baby is about 6wks now still no show on the birth certificate she is on lock down can't do anything till she gets the BC she us tired sef.

hadetola:
How far with your friend. How long did it take her to get the certificate at Tennessee

Apperently you are correct, I have a friend who is currently in the same situation she has been waiting for her son's BC and she was told they don't expedite and it will take 30 - 5days. Tennesse Mum's take note when you are planning oh

hadetola:
Can one the temporary birth records from the hospital to apply for passport is there anyone who has delivered in Tennessee. I learnt birth certificates takes 45days.

Hello House,

How are all the houston mama's doing? With all of this flash floord I hope you guys are fine and safe.
Please for those that have used El paso, Did you fly directly to El paso? Where was your POE? And pls can you share your experiences. Am trying to find it if El paso is an international airport and if yes what is the POE like?

I don't think you not having a job is a problem, if you are applying for birthing purposes just ensure your husband's statement and your own can cover all your cost. If you are asked about work I don't think there is a crime if you stopped working because of your pregnancy rather than you were let go. As for your name if you have an official change of name thy will ask you what you new legal name is. This happened to me when hubby and I applied. The name on my passport was still my maiden name they collected my husband's passport for his visa that day and gave me 5days to go and change my passport to my new legal name which can only be done in Immigration office Abuja. Also a couple before us were asked why they came from Lagos to do visa application in Abuja and from all indications the guy refused them saying they should reapply in Lagos. So you need to prepare an answer for that.
