I was given Amoxil and PCM too but it's not working. Thanks so much mama. I'll try it out now. My baby is not even getting the memo that I'm very sick. He's punching and kicking me everywhere.

How are you doing today? Any relief with the Clough and catarrh yet?

bethyz:
My sisters one year 7 month baby hasnt poo for close to 5 days now. Its like when she want to poo she finds it unconfortable she begins to sweat and cry for some minutes then it goes away.
The doctor advised water lite food but it hasnt helped her poo in anyway.

Give the child oranges.

If your baby is on strictly breast milk, eat plenty oranges( including the fiber) , it will help soften his bowel movement. But if you are on formula, just give him fresh orange juice( buy the orange and squeeze it yourself).

Or you can put Vaseline or palm kernel oil in your little finger and rub it inside his anus while bathing then press hot water well on his stomach. This will help him poop out.


But in all 2 days isn't much to make you worried. Some babies can stay up to a week without pooping .

Rbae:
Good morning mama's. I've not slept since yesterday cos I have serious cough and catarrh. I did a test in the hospital and I tested positive to malaria. I've been shivering and running temperature since yesterday morning. I react badly to chloroquine so I was give fansidar (3 stats), paracetamol and Amoxil. Whenever I cough I feel sharp lower abdominal pain coupled with body ache.

Please, asides from fresh orange juice what home remedy can I use for this cough. A friend suggested palmoil and sugar.

When I was 8 weeks, I had serious cough and catarrh, the clinic gave me amoxil, septrine and pcm but on the second night of taking the drugs I could n't sleep my tummy was turning so much and menstrural like clamps. So I abandoned the drugs and bought pure undiluted honey, and ginger.

Blend a little ginger and boil in a glass of water. Pour your water in a cup and add 2 tablespoons of honey in the hot/warm ginger water and drink.

I did it twice a day morning and night . the symptoms stopped after 2 days.

Hope it works for you.

It's not attaching here else it would have been easy for anyone interested to download...

Thank you so much. I've got it.

Astilo:
mama are you team May?

Yes dear.

Giddyperson:
Are you in Lagos, maybe you should mention your location so that mamas can recommend a good hospital for you.

I'm in PH

sunbestie:
Pearl05 I will advice u change to another hospital. I no understand that doctor's method oo... Antenatal classes are very important for every expecting mum especially FTM
I use private hospital and their antenatal class is very interesting. D run all d routine tests immediately d find ur folder. D nurses will lecture us and we ask questions too
D midwives palpates ur tummy and listen to ur baby's heartbeat with a Doppler, if u have any complain u tell her and she will refer u to d doctor immediately.
As for scan na still black and white oo

Thank you Cappo, I will register in another place. Govt. Hospital.

FloraEC:
Lolzzz, this your update got me laughing. Your doctor be like which kyn wahala be this. He'll start avoiding you.
Thanks to this thread tho, the way I question my doc during antenatal visit ehh, sometimes he'll ask me if I studied medicine
⚫if you don't like the hospital, register in another place preferably a govt hospital
⚫no, they're always meant to check the baby heart beat with a doppler and also how many weeks gone you're before any consultations. The pressing of tummy is from late second trimester or from 3rd trimester to check if the baby head is down especially if you complain of pelvic pain
⚫I always do my scan in a good scan center. Union Diagnostic or clinix. Hospital will complain that patients always refuse to pay more than 1,500 or 2k for scan.

Yes. I will register in a govt hospital. I'm in my 17weeks. Here the they charged 3k for the scan ooo.
Dh said he like the hospital, I don't know whether it's because of the"Christian " in their name that makes him to like them. Anyways, he have to be going there for his own antenatal and me will be using govt. hospital.

Chanbaby:
Your questions made me laugh so hard. If most pregnant women are like u. there will be little issues. some Drs dont like you kind of person that is inquisitive. Dr is supposed to check heartbeat of the baby each time not just pressing. With pregnancy assumption is not allowed, a proper 3D scans should be done but most hospitals say the machine is expensive and continue with their NTA black and white machine and be seeing rubbish.
Then antenatal lectures hmmmmmmm. Buhari said lazy Nigerian youth people were angry but it's true some of these nurses that teaches during antenatal are not grounded and updated with regards to childbirth and postnatal care. Most times when I go for antenatal i just sit and watch cos the few times I asked them questions and answered questions they asked if i was a Dr to know so much. You don't have any misconception about antenatal care.
Another thing to be mindful of is the prenatal drugs given and the prescription.

Alright. Thank you so much.

zeb04:
Madam pearl05 pls go to a better hospital oh. My antenatal class we take notes,we have practicals and every time we go for antenatal,the doctor scans, checks your urine,blood pressure and all.

Yes, that's what I will do. Though they did urine and blood test. But Mr doctor was just nonchalant and I don't like it.

Giddyperson:
Hope you haven't paid these people yet cuz it's obvious you don't like or trust this hospital and you're better off using a hospital you like.

At my hospital in Lagos, antenatal classes were done every first Saturday of the month or so. And that was different from your normal antenatal appointments days, which could be any day of the week, where you only come, submit test samples and get checked by the doctor. Meanwhile the general hospital im using here does both classes, tests and checkups on the same day, stressful something. so you need to ask the hospital people if and when they hold antenatal classes.

The instruments for examination also depends on the hospital. At my hospital, the doctor had the scan thingy in his office and would sometimes look at it especially when youre close to edd tho he won't show you unless once in a blue moon. You also got to hear baby's heartbeat at every appointment. Then he does the hand examination and uses the measuring tape too. At the general hospital here, they use a manual instrument to listen, and you don't get to hear what they're hearing. I've taken to booking scans before all my appointments since I'm getting close to EDD.

The scan thing has been mostly black and white for me. Some are clearer than others. All I can clearly see is baby's heartbeat, sometimes they would try to show you baby's genitals or other parts but it's all always lost in a sea of black and white for me. They have places where you can do more expensive scans sha, like the coloured ones and stuff. But I've never gone near those ones. I would see the colour of the baby when he's born.

I think they always measure. This your doctor seemed too shoddy, tho ive noticed that many doctors tend to be very dismissive if you have no complaints, they rush your own appointment so that they can take more patients. But you shouldn't let them. Id have asked him why he didn't measure and why there are no classes. Why is his own date so much different from the scan date. What's your LMP. From the story, I can already picture the kind of private hospital it is and it is not for first time mums. You should go register at a general hospital too. As back up hospital. Or get a good private hospital.

Some payment has been made already but it's nothing. My dear, if you cough there na money. You have to buy the drugs in there pharmacy that looks like aboki koisk. I have to insist that they write the names of the drugs on the envelope else I won't take them. Very nonsense people.

zaynie:
Get this book.
What to expect while you're expecting.
I've found out that the book answers most of my questions than Drs.
It's either he didn't measure well or you're carrying small. What was your LMP? Last menstrual period (the first day of your last period) you can use it to get the estimated foetal age.
Maybe you went to the hospital on the day the active person was off work, usually there's a lot of dancing and lectures and sometimes even a tour (to show your the emergency and delivery rooms so that when you're due you can know where exactly to go). They share hospital lists and introduce the Gyn staff to you.
It's not every week this is done sha so I'm sure you'll certainly witness one before long.






Me, I no dey go ANC on time ó which was why I got lost on my way to the labor room 6 years ago

Thank you mama. I will go get the book. My LMP is 6th August, so by my calculation I should am in my 17th week.

He got smooth face and so what?


So why is he showing his chest in second picture?

Abeg comot for road. There is nothing fine in Nigeria police force. They are all mean, heartless and exploitative.

Good morning amazing mamas.

Yesterday I went for my first antenatal class at the private clinic that dh and I registered ( which I didn't like their service the first time I went to see doctor).

The stories I had heard abt antenatal classes from F & F is that lectures were being given to expected mamas concerning the journey ahead and how to care for themselves and the baby , dh and many stuffs. So I felt that the class in addition to other things is a support unit, something related to what we have here but one on one.

So I went with pen and jotter for note. But to my disappointment, I was just given number and asked to go pay for routine test and have it done. Then afterwards, people were called to Dr office. So when my turn reached, Dr asked me what the problem was, so I told him nothing except for headache. He asked me to lay on the board and after pressing my tummy with his hands, he said OK. That everything is fine and he will prescribed drugs for me. I was very much disappointed .

So just pressing my tummy with hands is the deal? No using any instrument to hear or check the baby heartbeat or his developmental stages. Hmmmm. So when he said if there is no other questions he is through with me. I asked him how many weeks is the baby now. Mr doctor said that my baby is 24 weeks. I asked him whether he is sure about it. Mr doctor responded that if I believe that he is a doctor and not mechanic(can you imagine the arrogance? Looking down on others! Whoknows if he grauduated with let my people go?) then I should believe him or do a scan.

I said fine, let me do a scan . the scan said that I am 17 weeks 1 day. So I asked doctor why are we having two different results. Mr doctor just said he used his measurement and scan used his measurement too.

Please, my PhD holders in this field of study come and help your first year undergraduate sister.

My questions are these;
* Do I have misconception about antenatal classes?

• Are doctors just to press my tummy with hands alone
without any instrument even a measuring tape?

∆ Are the scanning machine supposed to show unclear
picture of the baby? More like watching NTA
program in the then black and White TV when the
weather is cloudy and signal is very poor.

Congratulations dear. Welcome to our princess. More money to daddy's account. Speedy recovery to you darling.

sunbestie:
Am having that headache at night too but I just drink water and lay down nd it stops.
This my pregnancy is so so different from my first.... To eat too na problem but I force myself to eat small small, sometimes I eat out. I can't tolerate watermelon nd some foods so I just keep off from them.
Drink more water,eat d little u can, take d fruits ur system accepts, take ur drugs and leave d rest for God.
Ur baby is doing just fine okay. It is well.

Thanks My able Cappo, I will face the things I can tolerate and also eat out some of the times.

Adorablewifey:
Mama pls if you can't eat what you prepare, try eat out. You need all the strength and nutrients. It might not be your thing but you have to compromise for now.

Thanks mama, that's what I will start doing.

Adorablewifey:
Mama pls if you can't eat what you prepare, try eat out. You need all strength and nutrients. It might not be your thing but you have to compromise for now.

Yea mama, I will try eating out some of the days. I called a family friend this evening asking her whether she cooked rice and stew. I went to her house and ate rice and stew. Can you imagine? I have fresh tomato stew in the freezer oooo. I pray that this baby doesn't turn me to longer throat.

Iyamefa:
Sorry dear, I have headaches too, mostly at night though. As for food, I simply avoid what i have aversions to and eat others well. Dh cooks for me a lot of times too so that helps. Sorry you have to be alone now, isn’t there anyone that can come stay with you for a while to assist? Maybe a sibling?

Alright sister, maybe I will start eating out some of the days.

[quote author=keeki post=73296290][/quote]I just finished taking the prescribed malaria drugs given to me from the clinic. I will go back there tomorrow.


Nobody is with me presently , have to cook the meals by myself

Happy Sunday super hero's!

Please make una chok mouth for this my matter. I'm 16 weeks dot, headache no gree me see road.

I am afraid for my baby cos I don't feed well. I stay alone as dh is at work(offshore), and am naturally not a foodie. After cooking, the food won't taste nice in my mouth and I will end up packing them inside the freezer. Just yesterday, I fried 2 eggs for breakfast to go down with tea and bread but I ended up not eating it. I will feel like eating rice, but immediately am done with cooking, the rice won't be appealing to me and if I force it down next is to throw it up.

The only it that still taste good in my mouth now is fried yam, white yam with red oil and plenty pepper. I can tolerant some fruits like watermelon, banana and apple.

I'm worried that my baby isn't getting enough nutrient. Please mamas what can I do?


Sunbestie and other May Club member does anyone feel same?

Cooperate begi begi. Na girls like you dey give women bad names. You just met a man and within one week you have a problem that you must start begging him for money.

Do you know the stress that the young man is passing through? Do you know the family problems on his head? So as you broke up with him now has your imaginary problem been solved?

What problem is that self if not hair, clothes, shoe, or just the satisfaction that you don get maga.



Anyways from me to you, get a job or learn a skill or trade and start paying your bills. Country hard already so no add unnecessary stress on people.

puyol005:
I agree with the Army, even if such video happens to exist, with our rapid re posting and broadcasting, will sure demoralize our Army (who sworn to upheld our sovereignty with their lives) and give the Boko boys more courage to attack another military formation. God bless our sovereignty! God bless the Nigeria Army!!!

That story is fake is rubbish. The Armed Force and the arms of government are playing politics with our army. These are men that that are world trained, went to peace keeping across the Nations of African and beyond. What is common pecks of locals that they can massacre our army like chickens?

FG should fish out the book harem informants among the high level officers and mostly across the force.

FG should equip the army with sophisticated arms.

FG should expunge tribalism and nepotism in the army, in the area of posting.

FG should not withhold the allowance of the army men in the war front. They go on for days without supplies and you expect them to be motivated and their morales high?



What happened to terminating book harem in 3 months .... Buhari.

Doctors wicked no be small. Must they write like this?

Anyways back to your question, wetin you tell the doctor say dey worry you?

A drug can treat different ailments . so when it's combined in a certain way, it addresses diverse issues.


But wait oo, I hope you not trying to poke nose on someone's state of health.

Wow Glory be to the Almighty God. It can only be God. Blessing us with 3 sweet angels in a day.


Congratulations to the you super moms

Chai. Una too like kpekus

I just have to chip my story in. My baby is 22weeks +4days and I no gree kpekus since the day I knew I was preggy. Dh is one strong guy sha but I dey pity him. My fear now is that office odikwa too tight, no space at all. Can I use Ky jelly lubricant during pregnancy? Is it safe? Dh has given me Nov ending deadline. Starting from Dec, if I'm Inactive here, office work have resumed on a kentro level ni o

Abeg no over stress dh as you know that plenty temptation are everywhere seeking for men to tempt. With enough pre-intimacy, you will lubricate. I don't know abt ky jelly as I don't use any.

The work shouldn't start from the bedroom but breakfast table. With peaks, hugs, touches, and other gestures, even SMS. Stuffs like this will act on your system in preparations to the saheal savanna ministry.
