I tink we need SLAP button in dis thread. All dis FTM dat r behaving lyk abt to hang boots mamas. Running away frm early antenatal n nt takin their prenatal drugs. They all deserve a solid E-slap 4 free.

Zaynie n oda mamas talking abt home appliances. R we still in pregnancy thread? Anyway, I sha stole d idea of Kenwood blender.

July Mamas, u beta respect ur seniors n stop occupying team blue. Hold a brake till wen I confirm my baby's sex on Monday oo.

Hehehe. We are occupying the blues . Seems almost everyone is checking baby's sex on Monday too. Let's just pray baby allows us to see the kini

Omaibaji:
Morning Mamas in the house. I hope everyone is well

We are fine dear. Hope you and baby are doing fine as well?


@cutienik, say WHAT?? The drugs we take are for a reason o. Don't think of yourself alone, think of your baby. I think we really need to consider giving out the E-slaps to mamas who underrate going for antenatal and taking their routine drugs
If it makes you feel nauseous, pls find an alternative. Try another brand of prenatal drugs or take it at night before going to bed. Its not easy teamie but do it for your baby pls

christybabe:
Yes ooo am team blue. But at first I wanted a team.pink, but who am I to start making choices, God knows best, am a FTM too, but I prefered baby girl as a first child. Any way am proud to be a team blue... I love my baby .

NB: If i skip your name abeg nor vex o. Just remind me to add it. My brain doesn't remember much these days.

SweetSoup:
Thanks for the response, she has headache more often plus the very warm temperature made me conclude it could be malaria, would take her to the clinic for test. A nurse friend suggested cloroquine for the malaria, she said its the only malaria drugs recommended for early pregnancy. I didn't buy it though, thanks again.

Thank God you didn't. I also had what i thought was malaria in my 4th week, until i found out it wasn't. Well done for caring to ask mamas here in her behalf

SweetSoup:
Good day all, please how does one treat malaria in a 5weeks old pregnancy? My wife is always very (abnormally) warm at night, would really appreciate urgent response.

Has she done a test to confirm its malaria? Most mamas here can't suggest medications to take during pregnancy when you've not done a test to confirm. Pls let her do it. Because feeling warm can also be part of the early preggo symptoms

Congrats by the way!

@BritneyStacy, my dr also noticed my swollen feet at the last anc and he recommended i reduce my salt intake. I'm actually a lover of salt. Even after serving my food, i still sprinkle salt on it. So i've stopped all that.
He also suggested i placed both legs on a pillow whenever i'm lying down and when sitting on a chair, i should stretch my leg out on top of a stool. So far, its been helping.
As for the heat, only God can rescue us. Even if you bathe a million times, the heat won't go away. And phcn is not helping matters.

@Iyabetajos, how body now? I haven't bought a single baby thing yet o, except a pack of mittens i bought last year from dealdey. I'm just chilling and praying for a miracle to happen to the dollar rate. If by April its still high, i'll have no choice but to shop like that. Na Naija made things win am, because i'll be killing myself if i want to buy online on foreign sites. Na real suffer we dey #teamjuly

@ginababy, Yes mummy! This your vex eye wan tear my bra o. I think i'll just figure out a way to makeup to her for not attending. It'll be painful sha. I was even supposed to be her cbm if not for the pregnancy

@MandyDaisy, based on some recent complications, i didn't want to bring it up to my doc yet else he'll just be pissed at me.That's why i decided to ask here first from experienced mamas. Thanks dear

@sayoddy, tnks dear. There is comfortable means of transport but i think the road to the venue is bad, so i'll just take the advice ive been given and sit my butt at home

raptor2:
Please where in Delta state is the wedding? You can fly to warri but what of the distance by road from warri to the venue. One thing you should put into consideration is the bad roads which is not good for you. My advice for you is to stay put and carry your Lo. Your best friend will always understand and there are also my occasions you will attend . Like her dedication. This is my own view.
Team July we rock......

The road is actually bad sha, from warri to the place. I just felt by that time, nothing can happen again to me and the baby. I never knew pregnancy is almost like imprisonment

Good morning beautiful mamas! I have a question that has been bothering me o.
My best friend fixed her wedding first week of June in Delta state. My due date is mid July. Do you think it is safe to travel at that time? Has anyone travelled so close to their due date before?
I just can't imagine missing her wedding. We've been close for more than 10yrs. She was my chief bridesmaid for mine. I'm just confused whenever i think of it

uglyBetty1:
Good morning all, this is my first time on this thread. I have been in the other thread of trying to Conceive, but thank God I have graduated to this thread of pregnant mothers.

I am few weeks pregnant and my Dr suggested Cervical cerclage as I have had miscarriage in the past.

Please has any one done such procedure. I just need life experience and If it' painful and all that.

Thank you all, am happy to associate with this group.

I think @Iyabetajos can share her experience with you

Congrats moonert and Legitdiva on the arrival of your beauties!

Congrats SerendipityF!!! Take a permanent seat in this thread till you deliver. No shaking this time

@Cheerychy, Sorry for that nasty experience dear. Some drs are just all about money.
Vigor hospital is at kingdom hall street off Abijo bus-stop. Its a popular hospital in the area, so when you get to Abijo bus stop which is after Sangotedo, just ask around. Ask to see Dr Clem only, he's the only experienced Obgyn i trust there. He'll attend to you well

What's the size dimension? Can it fit a dog that is 70cm in length?

I missed thread cuties but from the comments all una babies nor wan gree o. Cuteness overdose!

Congrats to the new mamas who just delivered.

fearless07:
Good morning house. Hope am welcome to the house. Please I have a question to ask. I was feeling a bit weak and stressed so I thought it's the normal pregnancy symptom. I tested positive to malaria( the doctor said it's +1 don't know what it means). She prescribed lumartem and said it's safe to use but am scared to take it cos I don't know if it's safe cos of some things I read online about not using in pregnancy. Am 17weeks pregnant. Mamas that have used it, was there any reaction. I am not having any symptom yet just occasional tiredness and weakness. Sorry for the long epistle.

Hope your question has been answered already? You should be #teamjuly if you're 17weeks, right?

CheeryChy:
Amen. Thanks so much. Will keep you posted on my visit to the OBGYN. Pardon my asking please, Are you based in Lagos? If yes, which hospital please? You are obviously very good at what you do. And you explained so clearly to me better than the hospitals I went. Or can you recommend a good hospital on the island? Around Ajah/Lekki/ VGC metropolis.

Hi dear, besides General hospital Akodo which has been suggested, you could also register with Vigor hospital at Abijo. I'm currently using it, not because the hospital itself is fantastic but because the obgyn there is very experienced in handling and managing pregnancies, especially when there are complications. And he's always easily accessible. My dh can even call him midnight to inform him of any development. I had a lot of issues(bleeding, pains, contractions) and the way he attended to me and managed it, not sure most docs will have that kind of patience. As long you follow his instructions, it always turns out well. Hence the reason the place is filled with preggie mamas from diff parts of Lekki.
I'm really concerned about you so i suggest you give it a try.

christybabe:
Am so sorry teamie, don't worry you will be alright, and baby will be fine too. Just get enough rest. *eHug*.

Thanks dear. Its just making my inlaws feel i'm not taking care of myself. Cus they r always worried when they hear i'm in the hospital again. It is well sha

@MsPat @tyconcepts Thanks a lot. I've been on bed rest since the contraction issue so i was surprised this one came up again. Will keep resting

And that is how i landed in hospital again this evening...

I'm even getting tired of all this 'one week, one trouble'. Last week contractions, spent a lot. This week malaria and typhoid. Na wa o. Why can't i just be strong like other preggie mamas?

Oh wow @eigmaticme!!! You've been thru a lot and it has finally ended. No more tears, no more losses, nothing but joy till you deliver safely. We'll always keep you in our prayers dear. Have faith and keep celebrating this baby. Your positive spirit and Jehovah's grace will keep your child alive!

Congrats to the latest mamas, nykkstel, mummyf and yetunspepper on the arrival of your beauties!!!

olubankemi:
Thank you for the response. Thursdays,Yes I suffered serious palpitation but since I resumed it I haven't had it, think my body had adjusted.

The pain is very serious ooo, coming and going every 2mins. Down in my right abdomen. It will come like a dull pain and grow to intense pain till it will go and in 2 mins it's back same way. Lasted for over 24 hours, had to go to the clinic for injection and other drugs administered. Am 26 weeks.

A friend said maybe it uterus expanding, but the pain is far from the expansion discomfort I used to experience and it was intense, caused me to weep like a baby.

Wow!!! So sorry dear. Just do your best and rest very well. Mamas having contractions are usually placed on bed rest for days along with the medications. Just try and relax, and get your mind off anything mentally stressful. I believe bedrest helped me too. We'll keep you in our prayers dear

Whollup, Whollup,
OP which kind airport name be "Armstaderm" airport? Gerrrarahia mhennn

And it hit frontpage like that. Na wa o for our dear nairaland

Oh mitchyy mitchyyyyy

It worked oooo (may my case not be that of the biblical 10lepers chiaaa) ..... All these stewpid mostiqoes no dey disturb us again.

"Deve" ke . Na me be deve collector "uvwie chapter" so immunity cover me

Mofe says "thanks maamy Mitch".....Plz born our wife quick quick let's start showing some love

Because we might be inlaws, let me tell my Udu boys to pardon you for the deve

tammyloreoluwa:
if am not wrong what u where giving was Salbutalmol 4mg....

You might be right. A doc i asked told me same thing

olubankemi:
@Mitchy, pls are you still on ventolin?

Hi dear, dunno if the drug i was given is ventolin. Its a tiny pink drug, as small as folic acid. I only took it once and the contractions stopped after 24 hours.

christybabe:
@ Mitchy, my teamie, am also dealing with heat under boobs, infact I don't wear bra at home except am going out. I even feel like my small boob that is now big due to preggy, is kind of sagging*Lol* and heavy. And my hand is alwYs on my boob trying to raise it up and clean the heat. No be small something.. ooo.

That scene must be very dramatic and hilarious. My trailer headlight(as dh now calls it) is constantly under fan. If light nor dey, i fan it myself. Let's enjoy it while it lasts, it adds spice to our pregnancy journey.
But is this what ladies with natural extra large boobs experience?

As for baby kicking, someone said the baby might be kicking now and i might not know. It feels like regular stomach rumble. And it'll become very noticeable as the pregnancy advances. The only thing i feel right now is my stomach sometimes beating at night like a heartbeat. Could feel it move up and down. I'll also be 18weeks tomorrow.

Greetings to all sexy and waddling mamas, ehen sis zaynie so our sistership no reach money abi ?issoryt

abeg july mamas,has anyone checked for her baby sex because i went today at 19weeks and the sonographer said it is a boy but dat he is nt very sure bt i shuld check mayb 30weeks to be very sure. Has anyone experienced dis before? Do boys show on time dan girls?
Cc: mitchy,zaynie and other sabi mamas abeg answer make i no wher i dey because i dnt wnt to do anoda scan till 36 weeks.

Hollup hollup just hollup, where you pass enter the July class? How come your name is not in the register?
Anyway, i see you're friends with Zaynie so i'll register you sharp sharp. Arrange your things inside your locker.

For baby's sex, you should try a 4D scan. According to some mamas here, it sees baby's sex faster and is more accurate than regular scan. I intend to do mine again when i'm 20weeks. Yoh don't really have to wait till ure 30weeks to find out, if you're really itching to know.
