It should be absolutely fine. Just make sure you are using your vitamins veggies like okra and ewedu have high pure folate or use artificial alternatives folic acid. Fruit,veg,fish will give your body a good balanced vitamins. You can pop in to herbal shops to pick one or two herbs to make to help with iron and blood levels.

Watch lots of videos to help you mentally. Check out my bio for experience, it will help you.

Thank you mama. Really appreciate

Good evening wonderful people, please do we have idea if antenatal will hold this week in government hospitals, Lagos precisely? I heard that doctors are on strike, meanwhile my wife is to go for antenatal tomorrow.
Please help me to make a decision.

July cappo,I hail oh... Team July I bring greetings. This is me bringing my BS to the house, so sorry it's coming late, but I believe u would understand when I'm done.
Well this was my fourth missionary journey and I was so excited about it cos my kids kept asking for a baby always. My Edd happened to be on the 31st, but contractions started on the 24th evening on and off. I managed to prepare dinner and took some pictures cos I was supposed to take my pregnancy pictures on the 25th

Once again my BS will come in bits cos my phone is kinda faulty Biko...
So back to the main jist, after taking few snap shot and changing clothes, hair earrings and makeup amid contractions, along the line hubby taught I was faking it and pulling his legs sef, naso guy man ignore me go mount his laptop. On the other hand,I and my neighbor still the take pictures with our phones as my baby no gree wait to enter studio for my arranged photoshoot the next day. E pain me Sha, but I no fit question God oh. Well as at 9pm, I told hubby we should head to the hospital as my house is a bit far from the hospital... I didn't want history to repeat itself again, as I had my 3rd baby in the car on my way to the hospital, na only placenta hospital deliver that year... Well that's story for another day.

Reaching the hospital at about 10:25pm,I was checked and told I was 5cm dilated, naso I run from labor room go meet my hubby for car oh, cos I can't comma keep my vj for any how checking checking Biko... That shit hurts like hell. I and hubby kept jisting, and strolling round the hospital to fasten the whole process, and ease my fear and pain, cos I could swear that the enemy was around that very day... pardon me to say so mothers, else how do we explain that 3 babies,all boys died that very day in their mothers womb and these women went through CS to have them.Infact at a point my hubby started trembling out of fear and confusion,cos the nurses were delivery these little angels to their dads in closed cartons rather than shawls. Hmmm, my eyes see something that night. All these were happening around midnight oh

Last last after I and hubby don pray finish, I say make I gather my sef peep labor room to check wats up, cos I was feeling contractions back to back. I enter labor room around 1:56am, I was time conscious cos there was a big wall clock in the labor room...as I enter naso the nurses and doctors catch me oh,it turned out that they av been searching for me ever since. Ah, me that fear is catching. As I climbed the bed to be checked again to know how far I av gone, I lost my mucus plug, followed by my water, before the nurse would insert her hand...My water breaking and all that distracted them, cos the were trying to clean the mess up and change the under pad and every, I wanted to seize the opportunity to escape again in the name of I was thirsty and needed water. But them no gree oh, they rather called my hubby to go get water for me.Ah, I knew it was finished...
Contractions kept coming and I felt the urge to poo at 2:18am, the nurses encouraged me to poo at the next contractions, I did oh, whole heartedly and the cleaned the mess. God bless the doctors and nurses world wide...at a point I begged the nurses to induce me, they made me promise not to tell the doctor if they indulge me, and I crossed my heart to keep the secret. As soon as they got the chance, gbam... the injected something into my drip, before I could say Jack, I felt the baby head crowning, one of the nurses called the doctor's attention, they instructed me to stop after my baby's head popped out and push at the next contraction, I did just that and my baby's cry filled the Labor room at exactly 2:30am. He was placed on me for a few seconds before he was taken to be cleaned, then the were trying to deliver the placenta... That was where the devil raised his ugly head, the nurse was not patient enough,at a point I felt her pull the placenta cos I felt a sharp pain inside, I felt it was over. I was given hot water to shower, while my baby was taken to hubby to see. After taking my bath, I was asked to drink hot tea. Naso I run go outside labor room follow my hubby go car to drink tea and gist too. Was sooo happy and gisting away when I noticed blood driping down my legs. Hmmm... I rushed back to change my pad, gbam...it full again, I quickly carried my baby to breast feed to know if that would trigger contractions of my uterus. For where? B4 I could say anything, the chair I sat on to breast feed was soaked completely in bright red blood, Ah I stood up to call the doctors attention, she came and collected my baby, and asked me to remove my pants to be examined, as soon as I did, hmmmmm see big big blood clots falling out from me, fear catch me I swear.

Hi

Hello house, good morning.
I'm new here and I'm a first time mom. Thank you for this wonderful thread.

I'm almost 8 weeks gone. I keep having this mild abdominal pain and I'm always constipated. I can eat just once a day and my stomach will be full. I haven't started antenatal yet as I was advised to hold on till the third month.
I was given paracetamol for my abdomen and Gestid Antacid for the constipation when I complained to a professional in the pharmacy yesterday. I still feel bloated and discomfort and the abdominal pain went down but I started feeling sudden sharp needle like pain in my right abdomen today. It isn't frequent. I'm a bit scared. Is there anything I can do?

Also, I don't mind having friends here I can take to and we share our journey together.

God bless all the moms, pregnant moms and ttc moms.

Congratulations once again and thanks for the BS

Have u started taking ur supplements if not start doing so,if u are not comfortable with how u feel register in a nearest hospital and lay ur complains so u can be well taken care of....Easy journey I pray

Continuation of my BS
I bled heavily, while the doctors were trying to arrest the situation,my hubby was asked to go buy an injection to stop the bleeding cos the hospital pharmacy was out of stock of the said drug, of which he was able to get at about 6am, since I gave birth in the early hours of the day, thus pharmacy's around the hospital didn't operate a 24hours shift. To cut the long story short... After the drug was administered, the bleeding stopped, but then, the doctors requested for my PCV to know my blood level,and another test to know my blood group for possible blood transfusion if need be.
Last last, I was discharged with a PCV of 30% after much observation of about 2days. To the Glory of God both mother, baby,elder siblings and Daddy are all doing fine. There was no loss. BS submitted.

Thank God for total victory. Congratulations mama.

Great job mama, you did a fantastic job and I am so grateful to God that you , baby and hubby are okay and back home.

I decided to quote this statement above for us mothers to read again and understand what went on in the hospital.
1. "the nurse was not patient enough,at a point I felt her pull the placenta cos I felt a sharp pain inside, I felt it was over";[/color] ; Placenta will come out without any interventions in it's own time. Changing of positions and pushing during contractions is what is needed to birth your placenta. The nurse pulling the placenta out was not necessary at all and might have caused your excessive bleeding which lead to further intervention. And you have to pay for a hospital negligence with your money and body. So sorry you had to go through that unnecessary excruciating pain.


2. He was placed on me for a few seconds before he was taken to be cleaned,[color=#006600];
Baby does not have to be cleaned straight away. You can bond with your baby as much as you want as long as there is no complications of baby not crying and other issues.

Many of us go into hospitals thinking we are going to meet educated professionals we are experienced in child birth. But we fail to understand that we are stepping into people's work place and Alas! not everyone is good at their job. Many people are negligent at their workplace and it is us the clients , customers, consumers that bear the consequences.

May we not experience child loss or mother loss by God's grace.

I know we have a long way to go in regards to getting the best birth experience . In the western world there is a big movement about educating ourselves about childbirth and hospital conducts. I have made it my goal to get us start talking about it in Nigeria and Africa. So help me God. Will share more videos later today on various topics.

Congratulations mama.

Hi September mamas
How are we pushing?
Because me I am tired 😩😩

Happy sunday Everyone. Still on the quest of sharing and educating from experience. I have uploaded a video. This is for the husbands and parnters. Mums share this with your husbands , partners, mums ,friends and family , so they can understand their role on how to help you during labour and childbirth.

I think its safe to avoid anything that u arent sure would affect the growing fetus, herbs inclusive.

Not to undermine the pharmacist but ur best bet is seeing a Dr when u have any complaint. Its safer and of benefit for both u and ur baby. Constipation/feeling full on time are part of the pregnancy symptoms and the way abt it is to eat ur food in small bits rather than devour a mountain at once. That helps u avoid bin overfed. I think u sud see ur doctor and also have a scan done to rule out other causes of the right abdominal pain. All the best
