Good morning and happy New Month to you all.
My August Cappo, please what can I do to help me baby bilirubin level come down. His sample was taken on Sunday, it was 9.8

On Tuesday, it was 10.4

Still waiting for today's result.

Friday is the naming ceremony and am still at the hospital. Please help me o.

Any other mamas with experience should help me too

This high bilirubin/jaundice is so common these days, mums i follow on insta all had babies with Jaundice and they followed below which helped clear it within days, trust hospital is giving phototherapy well, just feed baby as often as possible so baby can poo frequently. The great physician Himself will lay hands on baby, weldone mama

Feeding often will make your baby pass more stool. The milk also gives your baby’s liver the energy it needs to process the bilirubin. Your baby’s stool should turn from dark green to yellow.

If you are having trouble breastfeeding, it is important to get help. It might be necessary to offer your baby supplementary feeds of formula to avoid dehydration and to keep the jaundice from getting worse

Sorry about this dear

ewooooooo where have you been?

thank you darling

Goldenheart002:

So sorry about dis sis and I'm also sorry for my numerous questions too but I just want to know how u miscarried it naturally, did u bleed? Since u didn't take drug or go through D&C. Did u bleed it out or it just sunk back and vanish? I'm asking dis bcoz I've been spotting for over 2wks now, if not for my protruding tummy, I can almost deny being pregnant..... I need to hear more of ur experience if u don't mind pls

Just to add my experience if it wud be of any help, i had missed miscarriage in 2019 was to be almost 12 weeks but was measuring 3 weeks back, though fetal pole gestational sac and all was seen but no cardiac activity, i had an evacuation as advised by the Dr. Mine started with painful cramps and bleeding which was how the missed miscarriage was discovered, though bleeding was off and on. There was retained product of conception like a week after evacuation when we had followup scan cos i kept spotting, i was given a drug to help get rid of it and it cleared.

i have heard alot of people leave it to miscarry naturally since your body is able to do that especially if no fetal pole is seen, since all that was present for mine and i was too traumatized by the loss, all i wanted was to be done with that phase, heal and move on.

Dear Sirs/Mas,
Kindly advise especially if you have experience as regards this.
We have been TTC for about 7 years and my had done HSG about 6 years ago where it was revealed one tube was blocked. Nothing has happened after doing everything humanly possible. Recently, we met a Dr that has us to undergo some test including HSG. I initially told her that I had vowed never to allow my wife go through that process again since she insisted it has to be done to aid her investigation and treatment, we had to do it. The result shows both tubes are blocked and we can only go for IVF. The main issue is that since about 10 days that my wife did the HSG, she has been having serious and intense itching inside her private part. Some drugs were actually prescribed for her to take after the HSG to prevent infection, she has completed the drugs but the itching has persisted. I dont think this is normal. so i will like to know if anyone has had that experience and what can be done to stop it. Thank you

Hello Sir, pls see your Dr for the itching, it probably an infection that should be treated. It is either she got it from the HSG itself or antibiotics/medication she was given to prevent the infection, don't worry she would be fine.

Your Dr's suggestion on IVF is very on point and in the right direction since both tubes are blocked, trying naturally can lead to etopic plus there is no point wasting more time. I wish you both all the very best and God bless you for being a supportive husband.

Please,I had a failed cycle recently,so I want to buy ubiquinol so I can start taking before the 2and cycle,I have tried to search for it,but I can see there are a lot of brands out there,please can someone recommend a good brand and where I can possibly get in Lagos for me...thank you.

I took the regular Ubiquinone i.e regular COq10 puritan's pride brand 100mg

Dr's best ubiquinol is a very good brand and their products always comes highly recommended

jennifer22:


I have done it and it wasn't easy but I came out strong with the help of God

Your victory and testimony is sure by God's grace in no time you will share your good news in Jesus Name

kevotek1000:
Good morning NL,
My woman is pregnant, she's about 2 months plus now but the issues here is that she's experiencing breast tenderness, sleep alot, fatigue,cramp couple with light bleeding. Last night bleeding and cramp was worst... Please mothers in the house, is this normal for a pregnant woman

Pls see a gynae asap, light bleeding in early pregnancy can be normal and other times to be taken very seriously especially if bleeding is much and accompanied with painful cramps. Pls and pls see Dr immediately

Splasshhh:
Hello Mamas, I feel fine but really scared and worried. I am 16 weeks gone but since last week, I keep feeling not pregnant.

I don't feel sick or anything of any sort and all silence.
I already read that after the first trimester ills a lot of women feel this way with the silence in their body.

There is just too much silence for me.
Should I be worried?
I am scared to go for OBS.

That's why it's called honeymoon phase ma'm, enjoy it while it lasts, but I will advise you go for scan just so u have rest of mind rather than for you to keep getting worried.

You should feel baby kicks/quickening in the next 2 weeks to 4 weeks at least that will also clear any worry if you can wait till then, otherwise just go for scan my sister make you rest your mind

jumyte29:
Hi mama's, pls am a new member and I just noticed I am pregnant via home pregnancy test trip and period is some days late, though no symptoms yet aside from this cramps that comes and go like period is coming pls is this normal...this is my first pregnancy...

First of all congratulations Sis, wishing you healthy and happy bumping. Just pray MS doesn't hit you

Cramps at this stage is normal, just indicating the presence of your baby, so long it is not accompanied with bleeding/spotting or intense pain.

Try and take rests as much as possible, drink lots of water it should help with the cramps and listen to your body, avoid anything stressful, long walks and standing for too long. Also avoid pineapple it causes cramps/ uterine contractions

Hope you have started taking prenatal vitamins, especially folic acid. You will be fine, other mama's will give their input

Good afternoon wonderful mama's pls help ooo, kindly recommend a good private maternity hospital in Surulere apart from Avon Medical, preferably with less crowd

Thank you, we'll be waiting for your responses.

Graciousgirl20:


Ma,I went to see the doctor today, but he dint say anything concerning the brownish blood,he said I should come back in 2weeks time..he only gave me some drugs...I'm worried o

So far it is brown blood/discharge and it is not much my sis pls don't worry yourself everything is fine, just try and relax as much as possible don't stress yourself sometimes, it is old blood or the uterus expanding and it is very common in first tri

Just relax, pray and be assured that God that has started the good works is definitely present to see it through happy and healthy bumping sis

Beautifulsenora:
Hello everyone, I hope we are all doing well, please I want to know if the COQ10 ubiquinone is just as good as the ubiquinol, Ubiquinol seem to be very scarce,expensive and not in higher doses I have been combining both forms as I cant find the ubiquinol in higher dose. 400mg of ubiquinone and 100mg of ubiquinol. Been taking them with vitamin D and prenatals.
Anyone ever used this combination before, please help a sister.

You should take either and not both, ubiquinol has just more strength than ubiquinone.

I think recommended dose is 300mg - 600mg per day spread over 3 times I.e 100mg 3ce daily or 200mg thrice daily to improve egg quality

I personally was on 100mg 3ce daily for like 2 months

VitD is also good but I don't know recommended dose

tabontabon:
Good day all.
St Ives at Salvation Rd, Opebi says they are running a promo till end of August. Anyone interested should go there and make enquiries.

Please anyone who can give us a review of their services and personnel should kindly do so.

I have only used them for IUI and it was there ikoyi branch I used fully for the 1st cycle which was a success but ended as a miscarriage

2nd iui cycle was just very wish-wash kind of process started in ikoyi branch and completed in ikeja branch

Overall Mamas here have had success stories and not so good experience with them, mixture of both but I will recommend their Ikoyi branch over any other branch

beautyuche:
Good Morning Blessed Mamas in the house.......

Miscarried Nov 2020 and 23rd May 2021........................Today it is a big POSITIVE.......
Please stay encouraged.... We are not giving up..
I have started progesterone treatment Started drugs and will buy the inserting one While Dr says he will add Injection for 8 weeks.
Will do all within my power to protect this and Let God perfect What he has started.

Motherhood is our birthright
Stay blessed.

Congratulations Sis, it shall end in praise and full term delivery in Jesus Name, ask your Dr also about baby aspirin, just to rule out any blood clotting issues

tabontabon:
Thanks for your response. I did a quick Google search, all the three clinics you mentioned are in Abuja.

I actually need IVF clinics within Lagos.

Hello @ tabontabon,
There are 2 clinics I can recommend based on experience, service, pricing and personalized care. They don't have crowd also
They are both clinics anyway and don't operate 24hrs but they are good and not too money focused

My advice is just ask for God's guidance in choosing a clinic

Origene Health Services, Ikoyi
Green-onyx fertility, Opebi

Do you research well also, their price is between 1.5m - 1.8m

lapagegirl:
months before i ate clean, exercise 3 times a week, ate water melon and avocado, fertility massage the circle before the procedure. After transfer i was on bed rest for 48hrs, drank a lot of water, wore socks most times to keep my feet worm, took my medications at the same time, reduce stress the best way i could, watch comedy skit online, ate worm food at all times, no hot bath, ate pineapple everyday till pregnancy was confirmed, i prayed like never before. I used androcare care fertility center

Hello Sis congratulations, happy and healthy bumoing to you. Tried to send you message could you pls share contact details for the massage cost etc will be appreciated also.

Thank you

Congrats to mummywifey , enjoy your new journey.

Sweetnesstwins , congrats on your successful surgery. Pls avoid fibroid growers especially as its still fresh. Fibroids grow again if care isn't taken. Don't take clomid, letrozole, fertilaid , pregnacare conception, even folic acid without medical supervision. Take care. Safe and happy recovery.

Towerofgrace and pweetymii

Thanks for checking on me sis

Amen to all your prayers and thank you for the comforting kind words.

@motic2
had brown spotting with terrible sharp painful cramps one night went for scan the following day and was told no heartbeat and my baby was measuring 3 weeks behind, that was my first scan, first time of seeing the life growing in me and also the same scan that gave me the bad news no woman should ever hear, but who am i to question God?

Was told it was a missed miscarriage and had to go for evacuation. Ha, that was the darkest period of my life, 4 long years, all that pain, all the expectation, just like that my joy was snatched, like i said who am i to question God?

Even though sorrow may endure for a night i know joy will come in the morning, ha God must come through for me, HE cannot live me hanging, HE cannot disappoint me.

I am so sorry, just needed to pour out my heart

who can question God? My long awaited August 2019 baby is no more

December 2018, will never be forgotten in my life it was the month i received my goodnews, the month God turned my story around, gave me a new song, confirmed that i am indeed a fruitful vine, indeed a mother of great nations, removed the label of barren the world gave me and for that i am eternally grateful.

The best 3 months of my life so far was knowing life grew inside me, confirming my womb a fertile ground and that God is not a waster of resources but the journey has come to a painful end, the first fruit of my womb, the answer to prayers of 4 long years is gone I cannot question God, but i hold on to HIM that gives beauty for ashes, HIM that will give me my oil of gladness for this loss and know that HE will make my joy full in no time. As the Lord lives this 2019 i will testify

To all bumping mamas, your joy will never be cut short in Jesus Name Amen!!!
