BabyAvo:
Hello mamas
Please I want advice and guidance.
I am a first timer and EDD Is December. I have been worried lately because I am going to have this baby with just myself and my husband. No elder or woman to assist me. Please who have been in that situation and how was it like?
What should I expect ?
Thanks

I would say try and get any help around you can find be it from your religious centre (church or mosque), friends and even neighbours at least in the first few weeks of having a baby, even if it is paid help try and get someone. It can be overwhelming that first few weeks of having a baby especially since you are a FTM, but if you are not still able to get anyone, make sure your hospital puts you and your hubby through practical lessons on how to care for a new born and you will just take one day at a time

Don't worry you will be fine, i am a first time mum too, but i helped my older sisters in the past with omugwo during their time, back &carry baby, do laundry, clean the house, cook and run errands it was a huge relief for them i tell you especially since their husbands had to work

Expectantmom:

Thank Doc. My nausea has subsided but the vomiting is still there and I'm so tired I can't do anything at all. I don't know what's wring with the general hospital I'm using, they send me for tests upon tests without any conclusion of what might be wrong.

What maybe wrong you say? rotfl, it is belle that is right with you.

Pele, just take one day at a time you will gradually get better, count down to 2nd tri #honeymoon phase you will be fine, just find what you can tolerate and listen to your body, try chewing gum it just seems to bring a kind of relief i can't explain for me. I don't even know how to help or what to say sef, but don't worry las las you will be fine. Big bear hug and plenty kisses to you.

Mummies please help me out on what to do about bitter tongue in pregnancy. I am 13 weeks gone, l feel a bit strong, no vomiting just this bitter mouth.

Hello fertile mamas and papas

I just feel like talking to someone
I get giddy when I have new drugs to use. Is it just me?

I'm thinking of adding pressed.what do you think fam

I know that giddy feeling i tell you, good that you have found a Dr you are working with, of cos add preseed, at least that will help the swimmers and also doing something external to help the situation. I like to give every available opportunity to increase the chance, although i reacted to preseed made me itch when i tried it a long time ago

All the best sis, trailer load baby dust

Mamajolly:
House, pls I need your advise on this, am about to start an iui procedure on my next cycle but my doctor said It is not neccessay to take any prenatal apart from folic acid and metformin that I do take because of sugar, I wanted to get pregnacare conception and at least take that but read some review that it delays menstruation, pls am confused, make una help a sister out,tanx.

I will advise you take a prenatal vitamin, it won't cause any harm rather it will provide additional nutrients like Iron, zinc, VitD etc. that are essential for conception, i would even say add Omega3 fish oil. I have never heard it delays period, for me it even made my cycle shorter but my Dr claimed pregnacare wasn't responsible for that.

All the best sis, i pray God will do exceedingly abundantly for you and grant you double blessing.

Graciousgirl20:
Good evening mama....how is everyone doing?
Big congratulations to all that delivered and thank God for safe delivery....
Please mamas, i have been having severe body itching for the past 4days now...I'm 10 weeks, please is this normal? Is there anything i can use?my body is on fire...please respond...thank u

Towerofgrace:


Hello Ma'm, please see your Dr, mine is not intense and not all over my body, it's just mainly my legs and occasionally my upper arm

I noticed it happens after bathing so i had to stop bathing with sponge and also stopped washing my legs with soap or even rubbing it during bath time i also only dab water off with my towel otherwise if i drag the towel over my legs it starts to itch badly and nothing stops it, no cream, oil or even diluted ACV stops until it runs it course.

Please see a Dr don't wait until the normal 12weeks for antenatal registration

Hello ma'm how are you, hope the itching has resolved now?

Funky123:

2nd trimester welcomed me with some Gbas Gbos, intense cramping, headaches, body pains and fever…..I landed at the hospital and doctor said my baby fetal rate is higher than normal, that baby is in distress reason I have been having cramping

According to him, what I was calling cramps is contractions, at the end of all big big grammars they said it is threatened miscarriage

I laugh at the devil because this one God gave me I will birth and nurture him/her. After plenty injections the cramps stops, currently on drugs and bed rest
God is at work

Hello mama, yes oo the devil has lost the battle since tey tey, trust you are fine now. Kisses to LO

successhungry:


I didn't even read mama Towerofgrace' comment before i posted mine. You see,ts Jealousy; they know how much it costs to go to a private health school. In this medical field,females are usually very very toxic. Just ignore them because they are secretly praising your efforts.

original authentic jealousy itell you, shebi we see the way some of them attend to patients like them force them come do the job

dunnybaby:


Just what I need at this time. May God bless you. I receive the hug with thanks,you just made my day and lifted my down spirit. Thanks again.

God bless you too Sis, i am glad i could be of help u are most welcome. my regards to our special LO

luuvlly:

I used vitamin B6 too. Ms has stopped but I dare not brush my mouth with toothpaste. Had to resolve to using only brush and salt on it most days. Mouth is still constantly bitter as if I have flagyl in my mouth 24/7 at 20 weeks. Any remedy to that? Thanks mama

Hello Ma'm diff palava for we preggy mums ooo, i think you should try ginger or chewing gum. Just leave a small piece of ginger in your mouth or chew sugarless gum, i sometimes have bitter taste in my throat especially after taking something sweet, so i chew gum which helps.

Epele you are over half way to the finish line, you have lesser time to go than where you started from, i pray you find relief soon.

AwesomeGod:
Hello Mamas,

At my first Scan, I realised that all 3 embbies took and we are having triplets. Go be praised!!! Shock, disbelief, relief ... (all join). I was gobsmacked but I know that God will strengthen me and complete what He started.
God's grace to us all

Isn't this God just too awesome, congratulations Sis indeed He will strengthen you to the very end. Stay blessed

dunnybaby:
I JUST NEED A HUG RIGHT NOW.

SORRY AM RANTING HERE,I JIST NEED TO POUR MY HEART OUT AND HUBBY IS NOT AROUND.

They are just jealous and beefing you that's all I will say and taking it out on you, cos probably during their time they couldn't carry belle due to the rule, plus you are from a private school unlike them that went to public so the beef is inevitable. You are a star already and they want to dull your shine, a unique and uncommon pace setter and they want to drag you down, it is impossible, they are too small

But legally only women in health sector are allowed to have night shift, maybe she was just considerate of your condition that was why she excused you, she may not have intended to make you feel bad

In all just ignore them, or is it their pregnancy, or their body abi their baby, they are just intimidated jare and you are not the cause of their frustration neither are you the cause of their problems, your supervisor now praised and commended your tenacity and commitment in front of them, you think beef will not enter, pls strut abi waddle for them, let them die of headache and jealousy

If it is someone like me with my rainbow bump after 7yrs of ttc someone will now say rubbish, the thunder that will fire them is doing press-up.

So sis, brush all their snide remarks off you adjust your queen crown and muvee no time for nansense

Love you and you are doing a great job, pregnancy with schooling/working is no joke.

Side note, you can file a report to HR or appropriate authority for harassment, discrimination and intimidation, let them be called to order, but this may also have a downside to it.

TIGHT, BIG, BUMP SMOTHERING, BEAR HUG TO YOU SIS

Good Day Sabi Mama in the house.

Biko help me understand this MS.I am 13 weeks still throwing up almost every day the spitting sef is on gear 2. Yesterday in traffic I was just vomiting that drivers had to allow me clear off the road and park so I can Balance and vomit very well. Few weeks back due to lack of eating I was Vomiting Blood. The Dr had to place me on two drip. They rushed it into my system cause I was sooo dehydrated.
Even My house and car sef is now irritating me from the plenty vomit.

Who did I offend? When will I be free? What can I do?
It wasn't like this during the first Pregnancy.

Please Help

hello ma'm sorry ms is dealing with you this time around, like they say belle no know customer (just on a lighter note) i have heard of Unisom and VitB6 combo on here as being effective discuss with your Dr about this and see how it goes, for now try eating in bits no matter how little, i noticed whenever i get hungry my system changes so i try to keep hunger away as much as possible.

Pele as u progress relief will come, welldone mama, bear ehugs

Ladygracy:

Funky123:

I felt it though not immediately, the arm was heavy at some point and till now I still feel pains in the arm once in a while

Thank you ma'm, also began to feel slight heaviness few hrs after the short and it swelled up yesterday but i am better today

whyworryPH:

I felt a little heaviness and pain on that arm the day I took it but it was gone by the next day. Different people react differently to it. The nurse that gave me the injection said that TT is a very powerful injection that many take for granted.
So don't worry mama, you will soon be back to your normal self.

Yes pple react differently to it, had to take paracetamol yesterday and slept earlier than usual, i was not just myself

Rejoice012:
Me I didnt feel anyhow o,it didnt even pain me like I expected. Body differs sha, just rest mama you ll be fine.

Thank you ma'm, you are lucky I was already at the clinic when i remembered i am to take it ootherwise i would have taken paracetamol ahead of it, i am resting cos i don't even have a choice

GMs:
Good morning mamas. Please recommend clinics for me, I was at A fertility clinic on the island in Lagos and I have been so down with their charge, haven’t paid for consultation and tests amounting 270,000, the bill they gave us was 4,7M for two cycles and 3.6M for one cycle, and that’s way out of budget, The breakdown for one cycle is;

Hysteroscopy; 400K

FET; 850K

iVf: 1M

Drugs 833K

Additional drugs 380K

And other stuffs I don’t remember, please I need your help! Recommend clinics for me pls

I prefer Lagos but I don’t mind traveling to Abuja as long as it’s a good clinic with drs who’s not just about money but achieving result

It is well, i think most clinics have reviewed their prices due to exchange rate. The 2 clinics i know are now between 1.8 - 2.3m depending on medication

Origene Health Services, Ikoyi
Green-onyx fertility, Opebi

Good morning mamas, it is our week of goodnews and blessings in Jesus Name

Expectantmom of team may, i sight you. It is good to have bumping juniors ooo rotfl how MS market for you and your teamies

Beautifulsenora:
Hi Towerofgrace, I sent an email to you. Could you check pls?

good morning ma'm, I have responded sorry i didn't check my email all through the weekend.

Blessgerald:
Good day everyone, please am planning to go for my FET frozen transfer after a failed cycle.Please can you tell me what and what to do for a successful cycle thanks in advance

Hello Sis, i pray God will surprise you pleasantly this time around.

though I had a fresh cycle, apart from the drugs i took i made sure to keep my feet warm from ER and all through the 2ww, I ate warm/hot meals and avoided cold drinks i was majorly on bed rest during this period, though i didn't have a choice cos i was battling ohss for most part but above all it was prayers and God.

I couldn't stand the no bathing after ET so i took my warm bath as usual, watched alot of comedy movies/videos and kept myself happy and in a relaxed mood all through the 2ww, spoke to all my reproductive organs to work together for conception and pregnancy including all the drugs and injections too. I continued all my prenatal supplements (Vit E 400iu 2ce daily, Omega 3 Fish oil 1000mg 3ce daily, Osteocare 1tab 2ce daily and pregnacare original, i stopped Coq10 100mg 2ce daily few days after ET)

I have no idea on endo scratch and for prednisone, i started at ET 10mg 2ce daily and starting weaning at 9weeks to stop at 10weeks

If you are still using same hospital, pls ask them for breakdown of the entire process from start to finish including drugs/injections so you can know if anything is out of place this time around and raise alarm if need be. Pls no surprises this time around. Better still it is not too late to transfer your embies to another trusted hospital ooo

All the best Sis.

Congratulations mama. God is great. This is mama lynsunny

Hey my sis from way back, thank you ma'm.

How far na, how is it going, how have you been? longest time

Good day mamas

So i did a test on monday and it was positive. Judging from my lmp, I'm just 5weeks+. This morning, i got to work and started feeling really uncomfortable. No pains, just discomfort around my stomach. Then i later noticed i was bleeding, with little. I went to the hospital immediately, the doctor said 5weeks is too early for a scan. That i will be placed on bedrest in the hospital and given progesterone and another injection. Now my question is, is there no way to check if the baby is fine or not?

Cc peachbloom

congratulations sis, nothing will cut your joy short.

From what i know, trans-vag.inal can pick up just the yolk sac and gestational sac at 5 weeks and from 6-8 weeks heartbeat can be seen, most Dr's like to wait until the hbt can be detected so as to not get the mum unnecessarily worried.

Another way is to check beta hcg level, don't worry just relax and follow ur Dr's advise everything will be fine by God's grace

Good evening house!
Pls, I need a tested and trusted supplement to improve sperm motility. I don't really know why the motility is very hard to improve.
Below are my hubby's previous and recent results.

Hello Ma'm, have you tried COq10?

I tried this with my dh one month and it greatly improved overall SFA parameters. He was taking 100mg daily, i incorporated a lot of walnut - asala and banana as snacks for him also with tigernut, coconut & dates drink i prepare myself and his entire parameters improved, though there was really nothing wrong initially just wanted the entire count to increase which happened

Above all, back it up with prayers.

Expectantmom:
I'm just looking like I'm I even pregnant? Cos other than frequent urination and extra eating I don't really have symptoms though I'm in my 5th week.

Sweetie, just keep praying it remains that way, shey you read how TeamApril mamas are complaining about nausea? Happily embrace the no symptoms ooo, cos the symptoms/nausea can be frustrating when it hits

Even me wey no get serious symptoms didn't find it funny at some point

Healthy and happy bumping to you
