Na that one sweet pass o.. penis cannot reach the baby jare. I’m sure at this point, my baby has gotten used to his daddy’s something. Besides, that pregnancy discharge does heavenly wonders. The kini will just slide in fast fast. It’s either doggy, missionary with pillow supporting my back and waist or cowgirl. Praise God!

Okay then.. all is well

Omakraid:

Yes oo, thanks ma


Amen ma, thanks my cappo


I read about it in Google before leaving home that it's safe and even in the xray lab, it was stated that you should let them know if you are pregnant. Since my tommy is massive, I did not need any story but there is this very thick something that was wrapped around my tommy. Double of it was wrapped round my tommy and the guy said its to shield the baby...


I did oo, something very thick was doubled around my tommy region. Moreover I read its safe to have an x Ray before going to the hospital as I knew my case would require xray

Ur doctor told you to do an X-ray But u’re pregnant?! The X-ray radiation rays is harmful to the baby or am I missing something

Omakraid:

Update::
A very big thank you to everyone who checked on me one way or the other, I'm so grateful..
After a long night, I woke up a little better with the rib-like contraction reduced only to start again.. We went to the hospital and I was given 2 intravenous pain relief and the third on my butt after which I was sent for an X-ray which showed there was nothing in my ribs and that they were normal (I could have sworn that Something was there). Went back to the hospital where it was confirmed that it was the muscles around the rib pulling and causing the pain,,, I was given pain relieving tabs and an antibiotic for the cough... All along my Lo was quiet inside and I was almost worried but as soon as the pain relieved me I could feel her almost everywhere.. I just knew it was my body preparing for labour.

And Please let's be careful with the drugs we are given at the hospital, better to be safe than sorry...
My Gynea was not on seat when I went, so I conversed with a general doc and the antibiotics given me was Arthrotec 75 which she said contains Diclofenac and Misoprostol (I exclaimed) but she quickly explained that diclo has tendency of causing ulcer while the misoprostol is to subside the diclo effect on the stomach lining.. On getting home I went on Google and saw that it's not suitable for pregnant women at all stages as it causes abortion, foetal death, premature something something etc though what she said about the drug was also true as I read it online so I picked my phone and called my gynae.. On hearing the drug name + how far gone I was, he screamed who gave you on the phone and I mentioned the doc, immediately he said I shouldn't use it, called the doc and scolded her then called back to apologise to me then told me to bring it back at my next appointment..

Thanks to everyone again for the show of love

Hey mama. You’ll be fine. I’ve been managing high blood pressure since my 20th week. I was placed on daily vasoprin to prevent pre eclampsia and I’m doing good. I had to reduce salt intake and noodles cos it’s high in sodium. I’m currently in my third trimester and my BP has been fine so far. So just relax and don’t play with your drugs.

Artemether lumefantrine is safe in all trimesters according to recent studies. It’s not the reason for the contractions u felt, in fact malaria is most likely the culprit. It is generally prescribed at the teaching hospital here. I’ve used it thrice in this pregnancy and my scans are perfect. There’s no cause for alarm.

exclusiveoloori:


Team August here.

I have been a little worried mamas. I had malaria at 11 weeks and the doctor prescribed armatem. After using for 3 days , I started feeling contractions, pull and bites. Visited UCH and was later prescribed Amodiaquine which I also used for 3 days and was fine. Was just surfing the Internet one day and read that Armatem (Artemether&Lumefantrine) combination shouldn't be taken in first trimester. I guess it explained the contractions and all however, I am perfectly fine now. But I worry for my baby just hope it hasn't affected his or her formation and growth somehow. I asked the doctor why prescribe it if it was contraindicated but he said at 11 weeks, the fetus had formed and wont have any effect. I'm booked for an anormaly scan next week and I'm kind of scared sha.

Lool.. I have the same experience too.. once I take any sweet food, my baby gets super active. I think it’s normal cos my pregnant friends have same experience.
Another thing I noticed is my hair and nails grows really fast. Shaving is serious work now cos my belle don block road. My hair is fuller, darker and longer. I just pray it doesn’t chop after delivery

Congratulations @towerofgrace @kokaiye

Goodevening sabi mamas. Please does intake of sugar or sugar-rich food cause hyperactivenes developing baby,? Because I don't understand the restless jabs and kicks my LO is displaying this night since I took my milk and sugar

Congratulations to all new mamas. We pray and hope for safe delivery for the rest of us

I’m one week away from third trimester and all my first trimester symptoms are crawling in. I feel so worn out, I’ve been vomiting, everything now smells disgusting, I have itchy, peppery heat rashes all over, I’m always sweating and I feel sick in the evenings just like my first trimester. Make my baby just resemble me. Pregnancy is a very under rated topic aswear. Our mothers are goddesses.

If u’re less than 30weeks, u don’t have to bother about placenta location for now cos it will still migrate. There will be a definitive location usually from 30weeks upward. I had that darkish brown discharge too and my doctor put me on adequate bed rest. It stopped itself by the next day. Just repeat ur scan to be sure baby is fine.

Mamaa in the house that had/have low lying placenta, pls how long doe the spotting last?

Ahhhh.. this is a very strange utterance from an FMC doctor. What do you mean by 1% of protein? Cos urine test records protein in + (plus).
This BP and one plus of protein does not require pregnancy termination. It’s very absurd. She would be placed on anti hypertensive drugs and close BP monitoring with ultrasound that involves biophysical profiling.
I’m 6 months gone, had BP recording of 140/80 last week and I’ve been placed on anti hypertensive/anti pre eclampsia medication and 2 weekly antenatal monitoring. My BP as at yesterday was 120/80. So, u should see another doctor

Gerald454:
Good morning my good people of nairaland. As I type these now, my wife is in FMC asaba she was admitted since yesterday. Her BP is 140/100 and the doctors carried a urine test on her, they saw protein in the urine. According to her, the doctor told her the protein is 1 percent. Now the doctor is talking about terminating the baby which we refuse. I dont base in Nigeria, because of this baby, I have to spend 5 months in Nigeria just to make sure everything is fine. Please guys is terminating the baby the only options for us. I need this baby so badly. Help me and my wife.

What they dip into your urine is used to check if protein, glucose and other parameters are normal. This is called urinalysis test. The round thing should be a sphyg for checking ur blood pressure.
Most times, that’s usually all (weight inclusive) except u have complains that warrant more test or if ur doctor thinks u need more tests

Layormiii:
At general hospital they just dip something in your urine, look at it and say you're okay, then put that round thing in your hand and also check weight. And say you're okay
Is that all?
Do they check protein in urine and hbd and other stuffs? Just asking

No mama.. term is 37 weeks to 41 week 0 day. 37 weeks is never premature

Hamzashaf99:

I pray all turns out well for you. You don't have any cause to worry, just pray and prepare as 37 weeks is just shy of 38 weeks and considered premature. Anywhere from 38 weeks is full term.

Mine was at 37 weeks and like 3 days. Vaginal delivery. He's a healthy 2.5 years old old now, just went to school. No complications post birth or anything. Infact, I was discharged within hours of giving birth to him sef.

At 37 weeks, almost everything is set in your baby for survival. They many just want to monitor things for a bit to ensure you'll both be fine and then let you go. All the best.

Why will you be worked up because you are incubating your baby, and preparing them with adequate nutrition?

Why would you be worried when you cannot even avoid pregnancy weight gains both in fluid retention and unavoidable fat gain?

Why would you worry when you can return back to your normal weight afterwards with your healthy eating?

Please don't be selfish at this stage, as your agitation affects your baby too.

Thank you.
