My dear, I had that BP issue, so I reduced my salt intake, increased my water intake and I don't even think about anything that will give me headache because my own comes with headache.

It got to a point I had to remove the braids I did dt have not lasted because the thing was giving me unnecessary headache. One day I wanted to write a memo in d office, I told my colleague to help me and draft it because I don't want to crack my brain to avoid headache.

That's how I do my own. Just continue with your drugs, it will come down.

Thanks a lot dear. And i've not even made my delivery hair o. Wanted to make braids. Hope it won't worsen things sha?

Vannywealth:
Hi team captain. Long long time.
I'm good on all sides, thank God. I only took a break. Trying to make it to 37wks BG'sG. 2wks + to go, thank God. That means I'll be porting to July if my parcels are to arrive by then. I really don't want to abandon my team, but GOD DO I WANT THESE BABIES HERE EVEN NOW! Almost constant fatigue, hunger, body aches, punches, kicks, painful stretches, breathlessness, heartburn, no comfortable sleeping position, contractions,....... Ah! :') But me iz glad wo.

Congrats to every woman who has safely been delivered of her LO.
God bless those still pushing.
God bless those expecting.
Good job and well done to every woman keeping this thread alive.

Did i hear another porting to july?

Hehehehe! *rubs palms*

mignone:
hi sis! try out all sabi mamas have recommended &I pray u get better but another option is 'beetroot'. dunno if u know it; you can consult almighty Google. it's benefits are many&also pregnancy friendly.
happy Sunday mamas! blessed week ahead

I know beetroot juice. Will google it now. Thank you plenty.
This your moniker is just making me miss my french classes...

esof1:
Captain mitchyy sorry about the bp thing
It's well. As other mamas have suggested, stay away from salt. Eat sweet potatoes, beans, banana, orange juice (natural), low fat milk..... they are potassium rich foods and can help lower bp. u can do light exercise too. Above all, stay happy!

Hehehehehe. Opportunity to start demanding for so many food from dh . What of Shawarma? Can i take it too? Shey the veggies inside can also help lower bp?

enkaydewdrop:
See tif...
Nobody is porting...
June neva end...

Tiiiiiiiffffff...


Kikikikikikikikikikkikikikikiki

*munching cucumber*

We're all here now. Only you go use your hand bring some remaining mamas.

*whistling*

enkaydewdrop:
Olodo geh...
Kikikikikikikikikikkikikikikiki

Hehehehe. Are you not the one who caused it, with that your picture of pear and corn? U don forget abi?

June mamas, since Enkay is not strong enough to steer the ship for now, can one of you volunteer to assist her in the roll call and to ginger your teamies?
We need to know those who have dropped or about to port to my beautiful team July

Liftedhands:
Oniovo cucumber helps lower bp, hope you've eliminated salt from your diet? Listen to calming and uplifting songs, sleep more, drink plenty water, talk gently ( no shouting) Smile and laugh more, let your DH give you a foot rub, back rub, belle rub, any rub that will relax you! Then kpekus wella orgasm is a very good relaxant

Hahahaha. This your comment is already making me laugh uncontrollably. If i mention kpekus to dh now, he will run away o. He wont believe it can reduce my bp
I'll get enough cucumbers today. I usually eat it. Its one of my favourite fruits. Thanks mama Ekene. How's our king of freshness?

cherrymum1:
Sweetheart, so sorry about d BP issue. Just rest well and I heard reduction of salt intake helps. We missed you o. Please rest well o. Take fluids and just relax.

Okay. And i used salt to eat pear yesterday. No wonder the bp didnt drop. Olodo like me. Lol. Thanks for sharing sis

raptor2:
My sweet inlaw where you placed on drugs? If Yes you need to take them oooio. But if not discuss with your Doc about it. You will need to reduce your salt intake and eat more of green leaf the one that is call efo or spinach.

Yes i was placed on drugs. My doc said i shud keep taking it until the bp drops. I also have enough efo which our landlady planted in their spare land. I'll steam some and eat this morning. Thanks teamie. How your side now?

Iyabetajos:
i think mum zaynie recommended cucumbers to me.it kinda helped.

Really? Thank God i love cucumbers. Will get them today. Thanks a lot dear.

How are you and dh holding up?

ijeomaobi1:
@ britneystacy,

Na so we see am. Am July 29/ Aug 4 or 5. The apps on my phone reach 5 . Each one get diff date.hospital too gave 5th.

Since July is closer, make I choose that and communicate to LO same.

Congrats to new mamas.

For those iron deficiency mamas,

What happened to good old unripe plantain with plenty ugu leaves Bikonu try it and u will be overblessed

Does that mean you're joining my team? Hehehehe. Welcome plenty. Dont worry, i won't fine you for coming late. Watch out for the next roll call so you can meet all your teamies.
Hope uve settled mum zaynie? She doesnt joke with her dues

My wonderful mamas and teamies, pls don't be upset with me o. Nothing and no one can ever make me abandon my e-family. This thread is my second home now. And i believe when you see someone as your family, disputes do not linger. So i nor dey vex at all. Lai lai

But i just had to log out because i started having bp issues. My bp was 140/90 yesterday and i was placed on drugs to reduce it. So i didnt just want anything that will make me frown or increase it further, na make me dust my slippers waka comot first

I was told by my doc to come every morning to check it. I went this morning and its still 140/90. My doc is really worried.

Pls if anyone has any tip to help me relax so it can reduce, pls let me know o cus baby is threatening to drop anytime soon and i cant risk entering labor like this.

Melly245, congrats on safe delivery dear. I'm happy you and baby are safe and sound. That's what truly matters my sis.

Pls has anyone heard from lilylurv? Since she informed us she lost her mucous plug, we've not heard from her at all.

hormobollar:
This your contribution is not encouraging at all, I was the one that ask her questn & it's for clarification, I think in this thread if you're confused about something you can ask.... I guess you don't see me as one of you with your response at the bolded.

"But when it comes to drug recommendation, i always think people should crosscheck from their personal doc. You know say everybody system different, if one mama start to react to it now dey go say na we mislead am".

Wow. By simply saying the above, i don't see you as one of us? Is it that serious? By the way i was even speaking generally and that also includes medical practitioners on this thread cus i believe they can also help us clarify anything drug related, that is why i always tag them when i'm confused.
No prob dear, i already apologized for talking too much and i intend to watch my mouth next time and only wade into discussions i'm being invited to on the thread. My apologies once again to you and every other person i offended with my opinion.

One love!

sugah:
And how exactly does my response connote a fight?

It's okay. Let it end. Maybe i talk too much sef. I apologise

UmmTwins2:
The clear, colorless one is the pure one; d real deal while d yellowish looking one has been adulterated, diluted probably wt veg oil. To extract so much oil frm coconuts no be moi moi o

So i've been buying fake all this while. Kai.

I think i have to make it myself this time. But how do you blend the coconuts? Not sure my blender is powerful enough

sugah:
Yes ma. Tenk you ma.

Shuo. We dey fight?

lilylurv:
mama, im still at home o. Pain is bearable, like 10mins apart.

Im with MIL, and she's assuring me and telling me to be calm that she doesnt want me to go and sit at the hosp.....

Just finished hot pap sha....
God is in control

Mama pls, i take God beg you. Go to the hospital o. This is exactly what almost cost one woman her baby this week. She was waiting at home for the pain to be unbearable not knowing baby was in distress. We cant always know it well. E better make dem send you come back

sugah:
Ferrous overdose? You be the judge.
Pregnacare max contains 400 micro grams of folic acid and 17mg of ferrous sulphate.
My hospital gives folic acid 5 mili grams and 200mg ferrous taken twice daily i.e 400mg.

I only take pregnacare cos of all the other stuff it contains but routine drugs are better.... that's why most doctors would tell you to just use routine drugs and not bother with pregnacare.

I'm not a pharmacist dear, neither am i a doctor. All i advise is let pple doublecheck with medical practitioners when it comes to drugs. Every doc or mama and their opinion on routine drugs. Some will say never use pregnacare, other will say never use routine drugs. At the end of the day, the decision lies with the mama, her doc and her system, not just what we think is right.

lilylurv:
Officially lost mucus plug with bloody stains....

My sis, hope ure on the way to the hospital as ure typing this sha?

Flourish89:
same with me.i got d bathwash and massage oil only.for hospital,we go use d oil rub.once we are home.Team ori all d way

It's to find original ori that is the problem o. I don't know how to spot the real one.

BritneyStacy:
Lai lai. It won't! Have said it before on this thread, repeatedly too that the iron content in pregnacare is low kinda.I take a tablet of ferrous daily too in addition to the pregnacare.

But when it comes to drug recommendation, i always think people should crosscheck from their personal doc. You know say everybody system different, if one mama start to react to it now dey go say na we mislead am

raptor2:


My inlaw why you dey fall my hand? Warri no dey carry last anyhow the baby weight go be you are able to push him out. Fear not sis. You will be surprise that day you will not believe where your strength will come from. So chillax Our God is in control. Nothing dey happen

I don chillax already o. I was only relating what happened yesterday. I nor fit fall my hand now, warri babe like me

creamchiccb:
Thanks y'all dat answered my questions!God bless u pple!@cappo Mitchyy I take d ugu,green nd okro soup mixed togda wit lotsa fish!I sneak to eat it tho bcs hubby HATES okro...almost forbidn it sef I love it!...but dat ur banga nd starch enta my eye sha!I jes managed to ignore it!as a daughter of d soil proper uhrobo babe so many native soup hungry me...buh d plenty spice nor permit mi!I sha made okro peppersoup ooo cnt come nd kill myself away.

Hahahaha. I never knew you're from Delta too o. We don dey many for this thread. I prepare any delta food myself o, so i watch the kind of spice i use.
Abeg can you send some okro peppersoup this way? Its been a while i had it

sugah:
Ah there is need o. Pregnacare contains a lot more vitamins and minerals that your baby still needs. I only said to add iron tablets to your regular dose of pregnacare to help with PCV. You get?

Are you sure this your recommendation is not going to give mamas an overdose of ferrous/iron? My hospital only prescribes one tablet daily. Everyone's doc is different. Let them clarify from their doc if its okay to take an additional dose of ferrous with their pregnacare before they go ahead to take it.
Most mamas i know dont take extra ferrous with pregnacare. Just hearing this for the first time

lilylurv:
GoodMorning Mamas,

please, i woke up with wet pant and slight mucus this morning. Been having a mild pain down below my belly around pelvis that is like 10mins apart since then....

Do i need to pay attention?

Run to the hospital straight. Congrats in advance. Baba God don pick your call

creamchiccb:
Cappo mitchy how far?do u experience menstrual like cramps?or slow back ache?gues we r both 37wks,sometyms my right leg kinda hooks me abi shock sef,dnt evn know wch1!hmmmm Lo alrdy weighin 3.4kg buh am nt bothered bcs dis scan machine isn't alwys accurate

My dear. We are in the same shoes. I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow tho.
My own is menstrual-like cramps, tho not regular. But the major one is this so-called Braxton Hicks. My stomach contracts regularly all through the day. Even when i try standing and walking about, it doesnt stop. I get at least one every 30mins. Sometimes every 5mins or 10mins. And my LO is weighing 3.2kg tho the mamas here don ginger me not to be scared

mummyife:
so them don increase price. tho the price diff aint much..
..i got the massage oil for 1600 and the bath for 2200....i wanted the big size lotion and she told me they dont have it yet i should check later...200ml of the lotion is also 1600

I think it same price. The person i sent sells them so she probably added 2h on top as her gain.
I'm even thinking of forgetting about the lotion and getting coconut oil and shea butter instead.

creamchiccb:
Gud mrnin sabi mamas in d house,please am 37weeks gone nd my PCV is 38%,is it very low for delivery?apart from vegetable(ugu)wat else can I take to boost my blood...nd also @ wat point do they carry out Vagina examination to ascertain d wideness of ur pelvis nd all... Cc: Zaynie,kaffybill,Liftedhands

From advice i got from MIL, ugu alone is not enough. Add other vegetables like efo or green abi spinach. What i did last week was thick okro soup with ugu, efo, smoked fish and stock fish. I didnt let the vegetables including the okro cook for more than 5mins. Then i pack it to eat like that. It was very rich.
While yday i did edikaikong with plenty waterleaf and ugu. Didnt let the veggie cook for long. And i pack it to eat too.

BritneyStacy:
I think the no tears bath foam is responsible for the price difference. Those 4things cost me 6500. I bought soap instead. Didn't know the have baby wash oò. Would have bought that cos am sure it would last longer than this soap. Please how much specifically did you buy the baby wash so I can include it in my next shopping?

You mean the No Tears Bath Foam? Its 2500. The woman uses it for her baby and she said it lasts for months, because a little goes a long way. I think its more economical than the soap.
