Is it medically advisable for a pregnant woman not register for antenantal at 18weeks.
What are d signs and symptoms for a pregnant woman at 18weeks?
What are d things xpected at 18weeks of pregnancy?

For your first question, its a big fat NO! A pregnant woman ought to start antenatal at average of 12weeks. If a preggie mama is 18 weeks and hasnt started antenatal, she deserves a knock! Its too risky!

At 18 weeks, you might start feeling your baby twisying, rolling, kicking and punching. At this stage alsp, your uterus lies just south of your navel, causing your body’s center of gravity to shift, pulling the lower back forward and pushing the abdomen out . As your uterus grows and shifts your center of gravity, you may feel slightly off balance.
Lower back pain and heartburn is a common complaint at this stage.
Don’t fear too when you feel sharp pains running from the top of your uterus down to your pubic bone. Your ligaments are stretching to support the growing weight of your womb. The feeling should pass if you lie on your side with a pillow supporting your belly.

Just for laughs...

@ma'am zaynie,i 'm fine. Having bp issues though. Dr is suggesting taking out the baby after 34weeks,if my bp is still high. Nt particularly cheering news....what do u think? @mumgb,i agree with sugah...cyclogest is 6,500. I bought today@alpha pharmarcy. Its@2b alabi street,off toyin street ikeja. Iyabetajos:pele,what bp drugs are u on? I'm on aldomet,nifedipine and aspirin. doesnt seem to be working..... all is well.

So sorry dear. Have you tried eating cucumber as suggested? No wonder uve been mia. There's nothing impossible for Jehovah to do. I trust things will turn around before you get to 34 weeks. Just try not to worry too much and stay positive. We'll keep you in our prayers.

See what nairaland is doing to me. It only opens at midnight. Throughout the day, its been giving me redirect error issues. Seun, ure denying me from enjoying my favourite thread o. Not fair

#TeamJuly mamas hope you all are fine? After team june, we are next o

What happened to thread cuties today now? All mamas have ported to the newborn thread? Its time we start invading that thread and drag them out here to share their LO pics. Una nor want make we see cuties and get inspiration abi?

@nazablossom Congrats dear. Kisses to your LO!

Zimunachimdi, Pele dear. You sure dh thing nor mistakenly touch pepper for your kitchen? Lol. Just kidding. You really need the kpekusing so delivery can be easy and smooth. Like one mama told me this week, she said allow your dh to be swimming inside to avoid what is called cephalopelvic disproportion.

@mum Zaynie, i was just thinking of you and your dues this afternoon. E never reach to open business name and corporate account? Make we turn am to correct business now. I'll help you collect the dues but you'll oversee it. At the end of the month, we'll split profit

MsPat:
Hi everyone, how body? Se awon players n kick wella? Nobody even find me....na so i bad reach?

Anyway....the twins have started with Nan o, before they ll suck me dry! And the good news is they sleep longer at night so it's a win-win for me i can sleep more and my bobbies can have peace !

MIL has gone back, momsie don resume her own duty, i can't come and die!

Abeg i get small question o.....what is meant by bad blood in pregnancy? It happened to one woman i know, she's had two babies- both dead . After birth, the baby will stay for some days and then just die like that. Pele then said that the woman has bad blood and that she ought to take certain injections after birth . So what is bad blood?

Maybe they are referring to the woman's blood group. If she is rhesus negative, there are some injections she ought to take in order to preserve the baby and avoid fetal death.

raptor2:
@ Mitchy oniovo how are you doing?. Well I have not experience what you are experiencing but I guess its the weight of the baby. Try to avoiding standing and remain on bedrest.

zaynie:
2nd trimester honeymoon is over.....your baby is taking over all your body functions.
The baby is probably resting comfortably on your organ or on its way to becoming engaged.
It happens when you stand cos the baby just slides head down, when you sit, he has to readjust.

Wow. I dunno if this is good news or scary news, but i'm definitely going to miss 2nd trimester. So this is what i'll cope with till July? God helps us. Thanks mum Zaynie

Hello mamas, there's this feeling i've been having in my vjay. It pains me as if i'm pressed and want to wee. It happens mostly when i'm standing. The sensation will just come at once and then disappear. I dunno if its braxton hicks or what its called. Anyone experienced it?

Cc zaynie, kaffy4bill, soonest, my teamies and other mamas

After provoking, i started feeling sorry for myself and my baby. So i've decided to just go on a vacation this weekend with dh. Make i rest my brain small before baby comes.
Pls also watch your junks intake. Hope you feel better soon dear.

Why are you suggesting lying on the back dear?

enque:
Hello Everyone,

I just went to pee and I discovered that I am spotting (very light pinkish blood). My doctor isn't taking calls and my mum said I shld have a cold bath and drink cold water n lie on my side.

Pls experienced Mamas, what else can I do. I am a FTM and abt 7wks+...Biko nu help me o. I'm copying as many names as I can remember her for quick response. Make una no vex o

cc zaynie sugah mamacajah feddy27 blessedmum evacroft mitchyy

pls help even if I didn't mention ur names....thanks. God bless

Do exactly what mummy and mamas here said. Strict bedrest. Don't take this bedrest granted and don't listen to anyone who says you need to be agile and move about. There's no superwoman in pregnancy. I had same issue too in my first trimester but i didnt listen when they said strict bed rest. Ordinary small bag of dustbin i went to throw outside, and i started bleeding badly. Thank God it didnt lead to anything serious. So pls rest and marry your bed for now.
You should only be alarmed if the bleeding is bright red and accompanied with stomach cramp. Don't worry, baby will be fine.

@enque

You need those multivitamins dear. Sometimes docs or nurses forget. There was a time they forgot to include B2 in my drugs. I had to make do with the leftovers i have. When i went back, they said it was an error.

zaynie:
Sugah, I think Ayomide is fine. As long as he is kicking good and hard, I guess he was just trying to make you shift away from him. Lol

Lol. You're wrong as well. Its spelt 'virtuous' and not virtuos or virtues.

mukhcech:
This is Team December expectinhg father. Reping Team December wife.lol.

Pls Gentle ladies/honourable women and caring gentle men. Does pregnancy causes constipation?. My wife is been having a hardtime passing out bowel content. She also seldom urinate.

I think mum Zaynie has said it all. She can also try taking oranges and eating everything inside. My doc suggested it to me and it worked. My constipation disappeared months ago.

Finally!!! The famous Ewa Agoyin has landed!

But it seems you have infected me o. I woke up this morning with serious craving for fried rice and salad. I forgot to tell dh and instead he bought tomatoes and meat for us to make rice and stew. Had to send him back to buy fried rice ingredients. Thank God i could make it myself. Spent hours in the kitchen becos i had to take breaks and rest. And finally, my fried rice and salad was before me. Just finished wacking the thing

Wow. I love her confidence

itunumary:
Evening to all the mamas in the house, may the good Lord grants us all safe and sound delivery in Jesus name. Amen. I just want to say thank you to God for granting me grace to carry another baby after I lost my second preg. In November 2015 but He grant me grace and mercy, I'm 20weeks gone already. May His name be praised. Looking forward to September for my bundle of joy. Join me and say thank you Jesus if you care.

No more losses dear. You're halfway there and will soon share your awesome birth story. Remain positive

@cutienik @enkaydewdrop i'm fine dearies. The IV is off. But something funny happened today. I and hubby were going home and as we passed a market, i remembered i saw a restaurant inside the market that sells amala. I told dh to stop, he said there's no where to park and continued driving past the place. The next thing i started throwing tantrums and threatened to open the car and jump down if he doesnt stop for me to buy the amala. Dh was shocked cus its the first time i'm craving sth that bad.
I came down and took Keke back to the place. Funny enough when i got there, my craving changed to afang. After buying it and getting to the car, i felt so ashamed of myself ehn. But thank God dh didnt get upset, rather he was laughing at me.
God help us in this pregnancy!

zaynie:

Hair gurus nko?

Today na question I wan ask o.....
My hair is typical coarse, tough and curly.
I need a hair regime with products to tame this hair.
- I cant go natural. Its too full and tough, but I dont want to retouch too soon. I usually wait till its long enough to weave naturally.
- Relaxers burn my scalp and doesnt straighten the hair. It simply blows....I have tried DarknLovely, Venus, Ozone, Olive.....plenty o. Which other relaxer can I use.
- I dont braid or fix.
Hep me please, I want start making my hair again.....

Use that kit relaxer called Gentle touch or Gentle treatment(cant remember the real name) and your hair will apologise to you
