There r many ways to increase ur pcv, like i learnt here eating of garden egg leave (will advice u 2 cook it n not eat it raw, thou sm mamas eat it raw but u know our immune systems r stronger dan one anoda) but i dont take garden egg leaves thou, i ve bein eating gure (water leave) n eating ugwu almost every week (i cooked them as normal soup n eat dem wit anything) 2 boost my pcv... Eat as much as possible.... If u drink milk, u baby is gonna b big, so stay away frm milk... I ve given u 3 different vegetables dt u can take 2 increase ur PCV n dey nva disappoint.... N mind u dont forget to take ur prenantal vitamins too. Happy bumping

Good evening everyone,

My name is Christy, am 4 months preg. Pls I have a question for the house. From day one of my pregnancy been taking folic, f sulphate and vit c, after a while I couldn't stand it so I started taking it sometimes once in two days or three days. Yesterday a friend introduced me to obron 6 that she used it when she was preg, she's a nurse so I trusted her and also asked the doctors at my last antenatal and they approved. Is it really safe to take obron 6 during pregnancy? Cos Google is not helping matters.

Thanks and sorry for the long write up.

I learnt spicy food works oohh, like hot pepper soup that is spiced up. Maybe you should try it and try dates too. I want baby to come on Monday, so I have started the natural induction journey. God will help us

Anonymous29:


how many weeks are you mama? May be you are close to second trimester already or yesterday was just a relief and it may come back.
Sincerely there is no manual for how a pregnancy should run.... each pregnancy with its own process.

AmazingGod:


Dont be worried dear,If MS stops this early it should be a relief for you,some mamas dont even experience it all through the 9months.But there's a possibility of it coming back sha.

Hahahahaha,na inside life we dey...las las,we will come out rejoicing##AMEN

Christianaoha:


I will Mama but not easy. Sometimes I gag, the smell irritates me and the dosages are too much. For example, 1 folic acid a day, 1 tab of f. Suphate three times a day, 2 tabs vit.c twice a day.

It's well, will keep taking them. Thanks Sis

miraclebaby:
You want it to continue? Pls come and take from me.lol.
Just relax your mind. Some people are lucky it stops after 2months. Enjoy.
I can't wait for it to stop. Eating is a big task for me as I feel weak once I start eating. It takes me about an hour to finish a meal.

spixytinxy:
heya, sorry mama, it will soon b over. I don't want it to continue oooo. U can try ijebu garri, it help me a lot.

miraclebaby:
Drinking or chewing? I'm open to try anything out once it's healthy.

Blackfinegirl:
I wish those of us with cerclage could have a WhatsApp group or thread.

With cerclage one has to be extremely careful, so many fears and questions. It is well.

Blacma:
Ugu mixed with milk and raw egg is it okay for increasing pcv n in pregnancy?... Pls mama reply my pcv is damm low

Hey Mama,

You have been strong, keep hanging in there. All of it will be well worth it. by Gods grace.

I also got a cerclage installed at 15wks and it lasted only a few minutes - no pain whatsoever, and yes, its the uncertainty of what could happen after it am also dealing with (i wont use the word 'fear'). You are told to rest A LOT, no driving (to avoid any pressure), no standing for too long, no unnecessary stairs climbing, no rough sex (at least no penetrations - this is where you and your partner get creative *wink* etc... basically bedrest, if you can. All these are to keep the stitch around the cervix in place till you are at least around 38 or 39wks+ when it will again be removed via same process in preparation for birth (this time without any medication to numb you).

To put your mind at ease, you can check how things are at every antenatal visit via an abdominal scan - the sonographer will check to see that the stitch is still in place and cervix is still closed.

PS* - I have not had the luxury of all that prescribed 'rest' - I have a super active toddler and a busy work schedule with no help and its been fine so far without any issues by the grace of God only.

God has got us always - stay strong Mama. Peace...

I want to know about this cerclage thing, at what length is it necessary, mine was 5-7cm from the last scan and the doctor said my cervix is okay.

ladecrown:

You don't have to be scared about cerclage. I did the procedure for my 1st and 2nd pregnancy. BUT, never ever stress yourself cos it doesn't stop contraction. For my 1st, i had it removed at 37weeks3days and gave birth a week latter. For my 2nd i started having contraction at 35 weeks.The contraction turned into full labour at 36 weeks. My doctor had to quickly remove the ceclage and alas! i was already 8cm dilated. I gave birth to my my baby at exactly 36wks. The koko of my long story:
Don't be scared, it's no big deal.
Don't stress yourself,it doesn't prevent preterm labour.
Put your trust in God.
