Please I'm down with malaria 1+ and was given lonart today in the Hosp. Asked the doc if it's safe in pregnancy and he gave me the go ahead.
I'm still skeptical about taking the drug as I've taken one of the coartem kinda drugs earlier b4 I found out I was preggy which I'm not entirely sure is safe in pregnancy. Just don't want to repeat same again that's why I want to be extra sure
Biko don't waka pass if you have any input
Thanks in anticipation

Is lonart not Act? If you are still in your first trimester, I will say you don't use ooo. When I had malaria too in first trimester, the doc prescribed 'act' for me. I knew it wasn't safe for me. I headed straight to a pharmacist who told me it wasn't safe. He prescribed chloroquine with piriton(cos of itching) and it worked for me.
I will suggest you see a pharmacist or another doc.

kinguwem:
Treatment of malaria in pregnancy depends on the gestational age and the severity of the disease. In the second and third trimesters, artemisinin combination therapy (ACTs) is used for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria (coartem, artemether, lonart tablets etc.). Quinine is used for the treatment of malaria in the first trimester and for the treatment of complicated malaria in all trimesters. Intravenous artesunate can also be used for the treatment of complicated malaria in the second and third trimesters. All pregnant women are advised to sleep under an insecticide treated bed net (INT). All pregnant women are also advised to register for antenatal care so that they can benefit from intermittent prophylactic treatment (IPT) with sulphadoxine/pyrimethamine tablets in the second and third trimesters.

Just follow your baby cues and do what is convenient for you both. Mixed feeding isn't bad, just make sure hygiene levels are optimum.

BS
Its a lengthy one...
I'm a FTM.

I was 40 weeks and 5 days and labour was not forth coming so the doctor during my last antenatal visit asked me to come for induction in a week time if I don't fall into labour.

2 days to my induction date, I did a long walk and really danced, at about 2am the next morning, I felt contractions and at about 4am, I felt my mucus plug fall out. I called my BIL who is a doctor and he asked me to time the contraction and go to the hospital when it gets closer.

After about 2 hours, I felt the contraction to be 15 mins apart and he adviced I get going. When I got to the hospital, I was immediately admitted to the labour ward and my dialation was checked, my cervix was still closed.
The doctor adviced I shouldn't head back home anymore since I'm already due for induction the next day so I got admitted in the pre-natal ward.

That same night, at about 11:30pm, I was induced, and almost immediately the contraction I was feeling became really really strong, I almost couldn't walk back to my ward...I laboured all through the night in severe pains.
The next morning,my water broke and i was transfered to the labour ward, I was checked and was at 4cm.

The doctor said he was going to hasten up the labour and he gave me a drip (oxytocin) and also did a membrane sweep.
That was when the real pains started.
I was having contractions every 5 mins and it felt really painful...

After about 6 hours I was checked and I had dialated to 5cm...the midwife even made a comment that I maybe transfered to the theater for emergency CS if I don't make progress that was when I decided to call on my God.

I was given another oxytocin(drip) and the pain I was feeling tripled and contractions was now coming every 3 mins. With each contractions I was just speaking in different tongues crying and praying that don't wasn't a CS after passing through all these pains.

About an hour later, the midwife checked me and was glad i had made progress to 7cm.
In about 10 mins I felt an urge to poo and I started shouting that I want to poo-poo.
They immediately prepared the labour room, transfered me and asked me to push.

I pushed and pushed and it was so tough but the midwife kept saying I was making progress and that gave me the encouragement to do more...at some point, I was even begging her for a tear lol.

My prince charming came out after about 10 pushes screaming his lungs out and a cord around his neck weighing 3.5kg looking exactly like me.
He gave me massive tears which is still healing.
Immediately I held him in my arms, I forgot all the pains and sufferings.

Its an experience I would never trade for anything and I thank God for blessing me with this gift.
