Pearl05:
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.

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.

I don't think there's a size after 5 o. Except you want to start using pull ups but I hear it's quite expensive. Dunno sha. I'll have to ask first.

As for the team matter, lemme be observing first. I no fit for cappo duties

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.

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.

FloraEC:

It is nah. But it's too much, always getting me scared it's the real thing

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

Chanbaby:
why are u asking her? she dey there when giddydaddy give u belle abi she dey ur pant to know ur LMP. born ur born let Adorablewifey have peace.

Chai, all these Cappo defenders. How is it paining you specially like this? Don't go and identify with your teamies so that your own Cappo can help you

Hello, kindly pm your receiving address asap

Surulady:
thank you ma,i stay at yaba i can arrange for a dispatcher to get it for me if i get the axact location .

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.

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

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.

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.
