Please,who feels pain from her waist down to the feet? I limp now. Can anyone help?
I prop with pillows when sleeping but this has gone soo bad that I'm always scared of walking
Hello Sis, sorry for the pain, have you complained to your Dr?

Maybe you can try below yoga poses, if it will help ease the pain. I tried it when i was beginning to have round ligament pain and it really helped, plus most comments on the video said it helped ease alot pain, you can also read comments to see anything you can add.

Also if your mattress is too soft and you can switch to a firmer one pls try that, if too hard try a softer option. if you sit or stand for too long also try and make adjustments

Pele, the Lord is your strength

pls dnt encourage anybody to tk pineapple.... Even scientist stil dey debate on d fruit... Some mamas even confirm dt after dey eat pineapple dey go into labour few days after consuming it... While odas like me didnt go into labour after eating it in my previous pregnancy cs i ate 2 large pineapple wen i hit 39weeks but didnt go i to labour... My bobo hit 41weeks didnt even came on his own, i requested 4 inductn... Even thou, i confirmed pineapple cant do me shit, i dnt dare take it now until i am in my late trimester just like my previous pregnancy... Like sm1 said, body differs... Its a tricky smtin... Better safe dan sorry.
Hello cappo i was the one who said body differs, while it may have no effect on someone like yourself, for me it usually gives me terrible cramps if you see my comments regularly you'll know i do not support or encourage taking pineapple while pregnant, better to be safe than sorry. While that is this case, i only added that even if it does or doesn't have any effect but you crave it seriously, just take a little not even up to a slice just to satisfy your cravings like i did in my own case. No cramps or uterine contractions but at least i satisfied my cravings, so win-win

Tohhan, expectantmom, gracygem100, pepper soup is fine so long u prepare it yourself and don’t use all those spices especially uda used to prepare pepper soup after childbirth, you can use ginger and scent leaf all in moderation

Omakraid, buy all those packEd kilishi instead, my dh got the packed ones from shoprite at least you can trust those to an extent that they were prepared hygienically rather than those exposed by the road and with shady seasoning and spices

For pineapple it contains bromelain that causes uterine contractions, in 1st tri when I was over constipated I took a little and couldn’t sleep at night cos I had terrible cramps and spasms I was really scared so I stopped taking it. But in 2nd tri I have had it 2ce, without any effect I don’t take up to a slice anyways and i take it with other fruits more like to dilute the effect then I make sure to drink enough water afterward. In fact I still took it in my parfait yesterday but not more 7 tiny cube sizes.

Pineapple and watermelon use to be my favorite before pregnancy but I have given myself brain since. Body differs and some may take it without any effect on them

I appreciate you too Sis and so sorry about your loss.
And to your question, pls start trying as soon as your body is ready and you are mentally ready , you will testify in no time.

I have heard of mamas get their BFP the cycle following the miscarriage but most between the next 3-6 months following especially when there was no Initial issue with conception.

All the best Sis

Pls are you sure it’s genetics…cuz every time I’m eating my youghurt someone at work will say easy oh cuz of baby’s weight….should I be mindful of what I eat? Especially since I’m taking my Greek youghurt cause of of the calcium content
in my opinion, generally it is good to watch what you eat to avoid mum and baby being overweight, especially if you have the tendencies, but in reference to her, the 1st baby was 4.2kg at birth and being 36weeks there not much you can do about baby's weight baby wey go big go big, if you like no chop at all, baby will take all that is required from you.

But generally good to watch what one eats and you know people with their different opinion and unsolicited advise, some will say hope you are eating well you know you are eating for 2, others will say eat your normal meal portions nothing like eating for 2 so my sister do what works for you based on your Dr's advise.

Brown discharge after cramp at 5 weeks of pregnancy mother's please help. Its urgent
Hello Ma's trust you are doing okay and discharge gone? Just rest well, you will be fine, spotting is very common in early pregnancy, mine was subchorionic hematoma, but it resolved on it's own just avoid anything stressful, bedrest is recommended if possible and drink lots of water. Avoid pineapple, pawpaw, berries and potash for now

Mamas in the house am a bit worried ooo, went for scan yesterday at 36weeks, my baby is already head down but she weighs 3.1kg. I don't know what to do to stop(reduce) her weight by the time she's ready to come out.

My first child was 4.2kg at birth and I know what I passed through regarding tears and all. I hope I'm not being unreasonable?
Senior mama, of cos you are not being unreasonable, your fears are legit, but don't worry about it most scan are just estimate and for all you know your baby's actual weight may not be up to that,the good part is baby is head down so your are ready to go just relax, at this point i don't think there is anything you can do to reduce baby's weight, it's more of genetics and you have reached finished line already, just focus more on getting your body ready for delivery.

i am jealous of u sef cos March looks farrrr farrrrrrrr away and it is march ending sef, can't wait to see my handsome boy, forgive me jare i just found out sex yesterday and the thing is shaking me grin

Good morning everyone, pls why is it necessary not to bath for 5 days after embryo transfer
I bathed all through, but i think to avoid unstable body temperature and to restrict movement, other mamas that avoided bathing will give you their opinion.

Thanks so much mama this is so enlightening, am really trying to eat in bits and not wait for the hunger the morning's are always the worst,can't wait for 2nd trimester.
You are welcome sis.

Get crackers biscuit, the one in the yellow pack or any other biscuit you can tolerate, eat upon waking up in the morning before you eat your normal breakfast and don't let it be too late before eating in the morning.

I eat my proper breakfast as early as 8am and use my prenatal in between eating not after eating, it made a whole lot of difference and didn't make me queasy like I used to if I use after eating

Any reviews on Nordica? Cycled with them and ended up with 2 blasts after 24 eggs retrieved and 12 mature. Also open to tips on how to improve egg quality, I feel like so much more could be done and I’m open to suggestions please
I sometimes don't trust all these embryology report sef, but it is well.

To improve egg quality I recommend COq10/Ubiquinol, dha/fish oil/ vitE, good prenatal vitamin with a healthy diet

Mummies in the house, I have some questions tonight, please don't mind how foolish it might sound..
1. Hope 18 weeks is not too late to register for ANC for a first timer?
2. What are the tests done when registering for the first time?
3. I've heard a lot about 2nd Tri MCs (it won't be our portion in Jesus name) and the use of cerclage, how is it detected to know cerclage is needed and how can it be prevented?
1. 18 weeks not late, better to start now than later cos you should soon be assigned for Anomaly scan, take TT vaccine, and commence routine malaria, prevention

2. Scan, I honestly can't remember the rest but I gave blood and urine samples

3. Cerclage is used to manage cervical incompetence/ shortening of cervix which is usually detected by scan or used as cautionary measure when carrying multiples, usually done around 13weeks -14 weeks. Down side is with cerclage you are to avoid getting jiggy lipsrsealed. Generally risk of mcs reduces in 2nd tri, I would say rather than get worried about this, focus on feeling kicks from your LO grin

Good morning mamas in the house,pls am considering getting oats and milk for breakfast now,cos of the nausea (I don't vomit) and what brand of milk should I use? Or is dre something I can do to ease the nausea,indigestion and constipation am just 5wks. Pls I need help oooo
If you are lactose intolerant or milk makes you constipated my dear just avoid it, cos it can make you bloated and worsen your indigestion/constipation. Milk substitute I use was almond milk and soy milk during my 1st tri. Regular milk was a no-no for me.

Try fresh ginger tea, take lots and lots of water in whatever version you can tolerate, ( I could only take freezing cold if system changes warm, but room temperature made me feel sick) eat fruits to ease the constipation avoid pineapple, Berries and pawpaw, as it causes contraction and pelvic pain for some like myself

Eat in bits and take alot of water, never wait till you are hungry before eating it exacerbates nausea, rest rest and rest, it will make you feel better, your body is doing alot growing a human being grin so pamper it.

Pele before you know it, you are in 2nd tri and balling wink

HealthRe: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by Towerofgrace:
nekyfine:
Hello sabi mamas, I saw my last period on 8 the of October, then my doctor put me on letrozole 2.5. On the 13th day of my cycle I went for tracking which it was discovered I had a matured follicle on my right ovary. After dat I did not see my period though my cycle is unpredictable. Until last week Thursday I started seeing a brown discharge when I wiped till now, though I took progesterone tablet after I thought I might have ovulated . I hv done pregnancy test and it came out negative. I am 40. Should I induce the period or wait? I'm afraid may be I am going to perimenopause. Pls help or contact person or person who knows somebody that will help. Married in May 2019, got pregnant in November, miscarried January last year, then since then nothing has happened.
Don't induce yet and don't stop the progesterone until you have done beta hcg, I will say give it another 2weeks and definitely see your Dr

And I don't think you are going into perimenopause, may just be your system reacting to the hormones/medication. Do you have PCOS or hormonal imbalance?

Diary of a FTM tongue
It is not to early Kankan, that’s 5.5 months fa! Trust me your body has obviously changed even if you feel you look the same, I was deceiving myself that I obviously don’t look preggy, but your skin, boo.bs and looks in general usually blows a preggy’s cover.

Some acquaintances burst my bubble during the week, I haven’t seen them in like 4-5months when they saw me, they were just exclaiming that what happened to me, I look big and almost unrecognizable, one of them just said “ your husband is doing well” cry at that point I just gave up on trying to hide anything or deceiving myself that it isn’t obvious I am preggy

Thank you ma for the response. I would like to know why you didn't use it. Did you massage with castor oil?
No reason in particular, I was just tired of taking too many drugs and by the time I was ready mentally it was too close to when I started prepping for my ivf cycle plus my Dr did sonohystergram and everything looked good so I was cautious not to do anything to jeopardise the ivf procedure

I didn't use castor oil and for the life of me I can't really remember what I used, I think it was coconut oil cos it was not an intense massage, I was just very gentle on my body all through most importantly I prayyyeeeedddd and made confessions over my body, every drug and every thing else I did

Good evening everyone. I had a repeat myomectomy last Tuesday in preparation for ivf please when can I start taking serrapeptase to prevent formation of adhesions.
I think anytime between 4weeks - 6weeks after surgery to let your site heal first before it is administered so it doesn’t interfere with the healing process, you can also include gentle massage Of surgery site after 6weeks nothing too intense ooo pls

I had myomectomy too 6 months before my Ivf cycle, I was considering taking serrapeptase too but ended not taking it and only did gentle self massages occasionally like 1-2months before my ivf cycle.

I wish you all the best sis

Hello mamas,
Egg retrieval done, 12 fertilised. I am supposed to do embryo transfer tomorrow but i have mild OHSS, doctor said we might move the transfer forward if it progresses. cry

Pls who has had this experience ? How did you handle it? Did you go on to have a successful cycle?

Pls your response will be highly appreciated. Thank yiu
I had ohss but mine started after transfer I.e late ohss, even though I had a successful cycle it was an unpleasant experience I don’t wish on anyone.

I like that you Dr is considering moving the transfer forward, that will give your body enough time to heal and rest. Ohss is usually aggravated with hcg so chances are that it will get worse if you decide to go ahead with transfer and then get a bfp.

Are your embryos day5 blastocysts?
Though a frozen egg transfer cycle involves additional cost but it is advisable cos even with ohss you will still spend to treat it if you decide to go ahead with ET and the stress on you body and health is not worth it

All the best sis
