Good afternoon mummies, please who knows about taking fenugreek tea/seed to increase breast milk?

it helps but asides taking things to boost it, how often do you remove breastmilk and also is breastmilk being removed effectively… because breastmilk works on demand and supply, the more it’s being removed, the more you produce

Also stress, diet, lack of sleep, worry and anxiety all affect

Oluwasemiloba:
Please mummies in the house, my baby will be 6 weeks on Friday and her immunization is on Monday 6th March, pls what do you advise that I get for her in preparation for the injection?? Kindly help a first time mum

baby paracetamol, you can get it from the pharmacy.. but please don’t give your baby before the immunization, rather wait for like 3-4hrs afterwards or when you notice the baby’s body getting warm.. also endeavor to not overdress your baby afterwards.. light clothes are okay except you’re using ac

Pinkdimples:
Very true. Quantity matters. Thanks for your response

Pinkdimples:
Please,has anyone taken scent leaf here, while pregnant. Either early or later in pregnancy. I am having an argument about this with a friend right now. She insisted on taking it, there's no harm. While from google it can induce miscarriage,low birth weight or still birth.

in pregnancy the main thing is quantity

I took scentleaf in homemade peppersoup i made without peppersoup spices, also ate it in yam porridge but the quantity was really not much…

But I’d advice erring on the side of caution, prevention is better than cure, i ate scentleaf then cos I didn’t know it was bad

Bloomingbud:


Chai. And I've been taking lipton o though with plenty milk sha.

just believe whatever you take won’t have negative effect on you

voucher:
Please i take tea (milk and milo) too much like morning and night and I’m getting scared.. hope it won’t have any bad effect on my baby? Asides the plenty weight which I don’t mind cos i will be going for elective CS, hope nothing else?

i took milo and milk and didn’t experience anything negative, so I believe you’re good to go… it’s lipton i know has alot of mixed reactions as they said it contains caffeine

cinderellashoes:
Mamas, I am just 34 weeks gone but the brackton hicks are getting worse. Should I report at the hospital?

Please do and insist on that scan or whatever they do to check the health status of the baby… not ordinary scan to check heartbeat

nellyquash:


I did urine test early last week but the second line wasn't that clear. I had to do Blood test and was tested positive but the lab technician said I should still wait for some days because the second line is faint sought of.

Only for me to repeat another blood test in a different lab and tested negative.

All hopes have been cut short again, but funny thing is that, I still haven't seen my period ooo

just calm down and till then believe you’re pregnant

MercyMercy:

Thanks for your response mama.
Yes my BP and urine were tested and okay.
Truth be told, I know I really need to rest.
I trust God to see me through.

it’s the rest I’m sure, when I’m stressed i get headache and run temperature so i try to get adequate sleep.. please try your best to rest… it’ll end in praise

nellyquash:

Happy new month to our beautiful Mama's in the house!

Please is it possible to test positive and after some days, you tested Negative.

I don't know if I'm beginning to be too hard on myself.

I'm getting fed up

Safe Delivery to all Team September, May God favour you all.

did you do pt and test negative ma? Please take it easy

MercyMercy:
Good morning everyone and happy new month.

Please help a sister.
I noticed this annoying headache on one side of my head(right side) last 2sundays. Was using paracetamol but it persisted. On Wednesday which was my clinic day,I complained to the Doctor. Was given white vit.c alongside other routine drugs.
I couldn't withstand the pain,went back on Friday. The Doc. that attended to me gave me Ampliclox and loratidine (which I stopped using on Sunday as my mind did not go well with the drugs).
Been managing the pain ever since but yesterday, noticed it has spread to my nose region
Sorry for the epistle but please,is it part of the package? Cos I haven't experienced this before
N.b* will be 36wks in few days

in all this, did they check your bp and test your urine for protein? When a pregnant woman complains of persistent headache that’s whats checked and if all is okay then adequate rest/sleep and water is recommended… All this ampiclox and the rest in my opinion is over kill

Pweetiebabe:

iamfertile:
Hello beautiful mama's. I'm new here. I just got my BFP yesterday after 7years.
Pls guide me on what to do and not. History is high prolactin had been on carbagolin for a while but stopped using it and stopped seeing doctor for the past 5months then boom Baba God just did it without using anything.
I met my Dr yesterday she said I should use 1dose of carbagolin and folic acid. And do scan to know the foetus position next tomorrow. I'm 5weeks gone. Pls help me to take the right path. Thank you

please ask her why you need the carbergolin because prolactin would normally go high during pregnancy as you’ll definitely lactate when you give birth.. as for the folic acid you’re on the right path… to be on a safer side you can do progesterone test to check your progesterone levels to be sure it’s okay… Congrats ma�

nellyquash:
Congratulations to our latest mamas in town. Thank God for safe landing.

I also want to thank everyone who congratulated me.

As one of our sister's advised, that I go for blood test to so as to conquer every anxiety.

I did a blood test this morning and the lab technician said its positive but she's not 100% sure that the line is so faint that i should repeat the test in one week time.

My wonderful mamas, Please help me pray that this baby stays biko.

Note:
Please can i still continue taking my Pregnant Care Conception?

congrats sis, please switch to folic acid for the time being… Pregnacare conception as the name implies is to conceive…, how many days late are you, it’ll determine how thick the line would be

Please what causes the endometrium size to reduce. On day 14 it was 13mm, I had 2 matured follicles, got HCG injection.By the time I went back on day 16, it has reduced to 7mm and water in the pouch of Douglas and two small follicles. Eventually saw menses after two weeks. Please why did the endometrium reduced.

I have decided not to use any drugs this month. I want my body to rest. Although the doctor said I should use the drugs and injection for four months

first off, fluid in pod especially after ovulation is most times common and nothing to worry about, did they confirm ovulation with the presence of corpus leuteum?

secondly I’ve never heard of endometrial size reducing except during period where the lining sheds, are you certain it was measured well?

Ekabobo:



I don't think dat wud b a determining factor here... Since I already av a daughter... Shez two... Ttc after a miscarriage for long befo I had her and I started ttc a month or two after I had her cos of d age factor.... Got preggy wen she turned two... In June n jus miscarried again... Do u think I shud check d rhesus factor thingy.... Am so exhausted really... Tanks for ur apt response on d pregnant thread... God bless u.

Yes sis

Is your blood type 0-? If you are, even having a child already doesn’t remove the risks as it all depends on if you’ve been sensitized and the level of sensitivity

If you aren’t blood type 0-, next time you get pregnant consider using progesterone inserts like cyclogest and the rest, sometimes your body doesn’t make enough.. you can even combine inserts with progesterone injection if you can afford it

Thirdly, work with a good gynea immediately you get pregnant, consider partial bedrest, no jumping bikes, entering too much portholes, bending or heavy lifting and consider abstaining from sex till atleast 2nd trimester.

God would most definitely make you smile again, you just need to be proactive

Ekabobo:
They say pray hard... I did
They say be positive... I was
They say declare n confess it... Did both
But y make smone rejoice with bfp... Only to let em miscarry eight weeks later...were it not better if they never took in in d first place....
I saw d red lines
Saw my edd
Saw my baby on d scan
Share d good news
Pictured him suckling me n dancing around with him
Wat I never pictured was coming back to ttc thread
Empty n failed, starting from scratch at 40 year


Na so my own thing dey dey Sha... Bend bend, upside down n wor wor.

so sorry sis, affliction would never rise again

Please did u check rhesus factor?

Ekabobo:
Pls as dis miscarriage was jus few weeks old... N am bleeding n removing huge blood clots now... Do I need to go for an evac too like I did wen I had a miscarriage at four months... Or jus let it flow out.... Pls smone really knowledgeable shud enlighten me tanks

so sorry about this sis, for now let it flow, when the bleeding stops then you can go for scan to be sure there’s no retained tissue

Godmother:


Yeah, I'm on weekly progesterone. Thanks mama

please switch to cyclogest insert, twice daily

Then gestone injection alternate days, meaning if you take today, you won’t take tomorrow… like that

Observe strict bedrest, if you’re home place your legs on a pillow and let your legs be higher than your head and always lay on your side… God would most definitely come through for you, keep speaking positively to your baby
