Do you know how many fake pilots we have?

Please tell us. How many fake pilots do we have?

GboyegaD:
Because I like them and they have meanings I like for the ones I like. More so, as a Christian, my religion permits my child(ren) to have Baptismal name. Most importantly, my last name is an English name and I love it that way.

Actually, your child(ren) can be baptized with their native name.

arinzos:
Hahahaha
I removed my English name Entirely.
I am an Igbo boy any day anytime. Arinze is my name.if you can't call me that,well, sorry

Welcome mama

Our parents generation were fooled to believe you have to give your child an English name (after a saint) for the child to be baptized especially in the Catholic Church and I think it's still the case in Nigeria
I was willing to do a first name: native (father's tribe) middle name: native(mothers tribe) and an English baptizimal name but I was informed he didn't need an 'english name's so I dropped it.

I have an English middle name and when foreign colleagues ask if they can call me by it..I always tell them no. If I can pronounce your name, you can pronounce mine too. And I make sure they pronounce it properly no matter how long it take us

purplish:
Finallyyyy! Updated, my able Cappo You cannot jump and pass oh...LOL. I am dying of curiousity to know my baby's sex. I want a boy and daddy wants a girl. I can't wait to know for sure.

I have my fingers crossed for you.

purplish:
Yes, of course I know everyone's experience is different and definitely did not mean that the baby is not fine if you are not vomitting. I have read several medical articles that described vomitting in pregnancy as a side effect of doubling HCG levels and great development of the placenta which is a good sign. Only referred to it to encourage her

I understand your point.
I just didn't want a first timer who isn't vomiting to think something is wrong with her baby.
People get worried when they don't get MS, I did too initially until I was assured all was well.

purplish:
Looking at the bright side, vomitting assures you that your precious little one is developing well and things are in order. Sending you love and hugs

Sorry to burst your bubble momma but this isn't really correct. Every pregnancy is different even with the same woman. Vomiting doesn't assure baby is fine, some people go through pregnancy without vomiting. My first pregnancy I had absolutely no MS/heartburn/constipation or anything else that comes with pregnancy. It was smooth sailing all the way and my boy was fine.

Deeedeee:
I wasn't given anti malaria drug even when they found malaria parasite in me.
My doctor gave me injection for three days instead.
He told me injections are more safer than drugs...

I wasn't given either.

prettmum:
waoh so happy for you congratulations on your status.... joining you soon...

The door to the pregnancy room is open. We are waiting for all of our about to conceive mommas

rhosmherhy:
good afternoon mummies.
please, i need advise on what to do. i am battling with vomiting, i eat knowing that 1 hour later, i will still throw up. it is exhausting cos right now i am in the office and very weak. i dont have a single strength and i just resumed from leave today. i have vomited like 5 times today. i am 10weeks gone.
please any advise on what to do or take will be highly appreciated

Pele.
Like other Mamas have said, small portions of food, don't drink water immediately after eating, you can try peppermint/bitterkola/ginger.
But if the vomiting gets too much, see your doctor.

19CannyMum:
But I'm not understanding what you mean by 'until we get a cappo' lol. We have already claimed you as cappo.

Alakoba
Thanks for updating the list my EDD buddy

blessedmum11:

Kisses to your boys

[quote author=iamhistreasure post=90996650][/quote]Let's wait for 1st time moms to help answer if it's given as routine drugs for first timers.
I wasn't given antimalarial

All these 2021 mommas are hiding

Lemme open the floor, until we get a cappo (I want to do like Mercy) so that other 2021 teams can come out too.
Sugah. Second time mom, last journey was almost 4yrs ago so I don't remember a lot of stuff again

Other mommas join the queue.

Jesuisbeni:
No, I haven't.

I was just wondering why you categorically stated it wasn't fibroid even though you haven't done a scan.
Go to a lab and get an abdominal scan done and they'd find out what the issue is.

iamhistreasure:
Goodevening mama's,went for antenatal today and was given paludrine as part of my drugs.Please is it safe?I'm just 9weeks

Paludrine is antimalarial. Don't remember if it's routinely given or if you have to show signs of malaria to get one.
It's proguanil and they're generally safe in pregnancy.
But don't collect medication without asking and re-asking who's issuing the drugs if it's safe in pregnancy.

Jesuisbeni:
It is not fibroid

Have you done a scan to rule out fibroid?

Pinkie2018:
I have been ovulating and seeing my period as of when due yet haven't conceived in two years. Should I go to the hospital or go the herbal way?

Both you and your husband should visit the hospital and see a gynecologist for evaluation.

giftfromGod:
sugah , done with the fat burner. Do I need to get another or just wait a little ?

I used it for 3 months before I conceived so continue until you get a sticky bean.
I have a partly used bottle, we can arrange to pick it up when you come to Alpha.

Eizenburg:
So what’s the implication of the above? From responses, it’d seem that a lot of people are unaware of this.

Recurring cases of miscarriage.

dj4tolex:
Shed more light on this for people to learn

@doveflies


One option is: the couple get pregnant naturally and an amniocentesis test (chorionic vili sampling) is carried out while she is still pregnant to screen for sickle cell. If the foetus has the disease it will be aborted. Unfortunately, the testing process itself could lead to miscarriage

Second is: IVF with PGD(pre genetic testing). You should already know how IVF works....but before the embryos are transferred they are screened for sickle cell disease and only embryos that are free of the disease will be transferred to the woman. There's a possibility that all the eggs harvested during one procedure will have the disease and there'd be no embryos to transfer. On the other hand, you can be lucky like the couple I know and have 2 good embryos to transfer at once and have twins. IVF is a 75% chance of success but PGD for sickle cell disease might reduce the chances

But it's still better than having a sickle.cell baby

Munzy14:
Money and emotional draining two words, that can change everything for someone.

The best is prevention o.

Well, it's an option for people that feel breaking up isn't an option because the love is very strong.

Op80:
I am a serial loser of men of choice because of genotype.

Pele. Find and marry oyinbo man if you can. The sickle cell trait is only amongst Africans/people of African origin

Munzy14:
hmmm, Very risky something.. unless the couples av agreed not to give birth, rather adopt..

A renowned medical doctor went ahead to marry his AS wife, And today they have two SS with some carriers... Just their only daughter was AA... Out of 6.

IVF with Genetic testing if there's plenty money...
Invitro testing and aborting SS foetus although emotionally draining

Truth is, there's a way out for both AS partners to marry without having SS babies but it's both emotionally and financially draining.
I know a couple who's gone through it but I don't think they'd wish same for their enemies.

They did invitro genetic testing and had to abort the foetus each time the result is SS

But there's also the option of IVF with Genetic testing.

FlordFlorez:
U mean rhoGAM? Is rhoGAM injection 100% assurance irrespective of abortion? Besides, most women who need it cant afford it.

Apart from the cases of previous abortion without the injection, the injection is effective. It's less than 30k for the injection.

Acidosis:
No, because I'm AA. I only care about your Rhesus factor and your 'past'.

Rhesus factor shouldn't be a deal breaker cos the Rhogam injection will forestall any problems
