Cc: su.gah, Britn.eyStacy, etc etc etc, I can remember other names make una no vex abeg

Where you said "names", if you had said monikers it would mean the same thing.

As for Savlon, when I was pregnant, they said Savlon is more gentle on babies. Been using it ever since. It's even cheaper.

My sis I am due 1st week in November

Except you mean 1st week in October, you have more than enough time to reschedule your appointment. If it's October, then try to see if you can get an earlier visa date via the means you've been told.

Access Bank consummated PTA for someone today at N338/USD. They don't give cash but Travel Card, loaded with the USD purchased.

Will you be able to use the card to pay your hospital bills?

Seriously hunting for PTA.

So the devil wanted to steal my joy yesterday at my 8th month scan.

He has failed.

The tech said there was fluid on my baby's brain but that it was so mild that he would have missed it.

I believe in the prayer of agreement, I have prayed and confessed but I refuse to cry because the devil will not win.

So Pls kindly pray for my boy genius oluwatimilehin that any abnormality becomes normal before my scan next week. I will come back to testify.

In Jesus name...

I pray it normalizes. It happens from time to time and I pray it finally decreases. You can ask him to measure the size of the the fluid so that you can have a targeted prayer point. You may ask your doctor for an amniocentis (don't know how it's spelt).

It's well my sister. God has taken control.

Querylady24:
I went to the one by the tollgate and they told me I can only get fit to fly inside the airport at the port authority. It seems they only issue the fit to fly there.

Good information. They used to provide, maybe they have stopped.

I have endured Dr Fagbohun too much. I saw his bad reviews after I had paid him since so many nairalanders found him pleasant. That man loves money to the detriment of his patient :

How can he book me for induction on Sunday 7pm (this removes 24 hours by 12midnight) and calls d hospital by 8 am that he has csection in another hospital so they should delay me!!! On my Labour bed Am 10cm dilated and 100% effaced. Wish I can sue this guy and I will not have mercy.

Why schedule an induction and then schedule a CS for the same time? Will he do a proper job? Can't someone else take delivery? I cna imagine how i would be feeling. My dear, take it easy. God will keep you and your LO.

I am feeling so angry on her behalf.

TOKNOW:
Hi House, pls instead of booking a return flight, can someone book a one way flight, then separately book for return, because we intend visiting another city before return. Does it matter?

You can book a multi-city ticket. Meaning you arrive at one location but leave from another location. E.g Lagos to Houston, JFK to Lagos. Same ticket.

Hello Mummy`s


Is the port health within the premises of MMA or outside?

Thanks in advance

From what i gather, there are 2. One is by the tollgate (coming from international airport, you pass the toll gate and enter the building immediately on the right). The second is somewhere inside MMA. Don't know where.

Been ages o

XX01 - been a while u dropped a line o. I Miss u personally.

Capp, I dey. Been trying to catch up with the pages and it's been a herculean task. Still have 15 pages to read. Lol. Hope your shopping went well.

cheeketo:
and he added when women look beautiful in pregnancy they will have a girl, but when dey look ugly they will have a boy

mamas is dh theory correct? who else has noticed this?

It doesn't follow. For my first son, I was glowing. My hair was full and very long and my face was so smooth. For this my son, my hair is beautiful but I have horrible porkmarks on my face and even have a pregnancy nose.

Babies/pregnancies are different.

Liftedhands:
it's routine for your doctor to ask to see your nepple during examination! This is to check the colour of the areola and it's size, I think it's to see if your body is responding properly to changes Pregnancy hormones does in preparedness for the baby's arrival! It should be black or very darker than the rest skin tone.

They don't touch it! I was examined by a woman and she didn't touch it just asked me to bring out my boobi and it was only once throughout Pregnancy.

Seems like the doctor is a perv. Wetin concern nipples and belle? If it doesn't change, what will she do? If she was a lactation consultant then I will understand. Won't show any doctor my tips unless it's an ECG or breast exam.

sugah:
Where do you stay? Got mine in Oregun (Kudirat Abiola way) and it was quite cheap cos the guy sells at wholesale price. Got some other nice Caribbean dresses from him too.

What's the name of the shop? I pass there some times.

YoungMetrosG:
@XX01 Hello there, I'm also leaving for Dallas at the end of October on BA, staying with family too. Please can we compare costs of hospitals and physicians? Did you get your doctor to write you a letter of acceptance?

Let's PM before they block our posts.

CyZubby:
Woah so which hospital are u using and any plans for accommodation yet? I will be using methodist Richardson medical center dallas.

Let's PM so that we don't derail this thread. Although I will be staying with family there.

firsttymum:
Omodadi2 God bless you too darling... I'm so happy about ur testimony.

Dr E said if I had taken my hematinics I wldnt have had that much transfusion... I just hate drugs.

God who has started this great work in ur life won't stop... Mwuah

Which one be hematinics again? Is it more than the folic acid and other routine drugs given?

CyZubby:
Officially joined dallas mama's October / November birthing.

I dey go Dallas that Oct/Nov.

passionantchica:
Hey mamas. Just a heads up:
GTBank will likely reduce its international card transaction limits to $1,000 from August 1st. Which technically, is in a few hours.

So you might wanna quickly make last minute transactions while you still got the 2k limit.

Thanks. Did that already. Convinced DH to buy his ticket before the prices increase further. It had added 100 dollars already before he bought.

My Epistle
I cant read bac d pages l missed r too much to all ma teamies dat hav put to bed congrats.
Since l delivered l havnt logged on cos it's bin hell. Afta ma op l wore disposable pants wits pad buh l noticed my privates bcom sore nd it hots making it uncomfortably to walk I'm on d slim side so l cant use pad witout pants it would fall since l was still on admission l used d pad witout pants nd remained in bed. On Wednesday l noticed dat d wound was bleeding l complained to a nursed she looked at me as if l didn't knw wot l was talking abt wen d matron cam round l complained to her as well she removed d plaster there was blood buh she said she didnt knw wot caused it so she jus redressed d wound. On thursday ma docs cam round removed d plaster nd said l was ready to b discharged. I asked if l can take my bathe dey said l can. All dis while I've still bin unable to wear pants my privates hurt somtims l soak a small towel nd place it at d junctures of ma thighs. Meanwhile all d ppl l was op wit on d same day evn afta me r walking properly witout pains nd dey wear pants. Wen l complained abt d pains d doc said l jus did an op dat it wld stop so l wnt home. @hom it was a challenge to attend to visitors lochia was flowing nd l cant wear pants it was a challenge buh l managed. I was dressing my wound as directed by ma doc buh d areas around d incision site was swelling nd vry painful ma legs were swelling thou it didn't swell while l was preggy it swelled to d xtent of entering into ma toes evn thou l was always raising it up. I had to google my symptoms nd l found out dat thou it wasn't common buh it happens to few its called postpartum edema. Dat was wen ma mind came down a little cos l was scared somtin might have gone wrng during d op.
D swelling of d legs has eased, l asked dh to massage it for me, he massaged frm foot to knee immediately afta l started urinating more frequently under 24hrs d swelling eased.
Buh d swelling along d incision site has refused to go down nd d pain is frm hell it gets worse on a daily basis to d xtent dat somtyms it givs me fever.

Pls mamas dat has undergone cs has anyone xperiencd dis pls share.
cc fortius asst cappo u don born

I had the swelling too. It was so painful I thought I would die. Turned out that the incision site was infected and they gave me strong antibiotics. Had to be going for daily dressing. Don't know much about the lochia pain cos that was a breeze for me.

Please any Ibadan mama in the house? Where can I shop for baby things in Ib?

There is a mum here, olatebony that sells baby things in Ibadan. And they are quite nice.

your joy will last. We will rejoice with you. Amen.

Yo those who have suffered any loss, God is your strength. He will calm all raging storms.

Babyadorable, welcome to the group. Me I just kuku skipped folic and all those drugs oo. I stuck to pregnatone.

But then , I have a question for the house. Qhi has used centrum pregnacare? Seems to have more vitamins.

I have used it and I loved it. It didn't make me want to puke in the morning. But why skip folic? Except you were munching plenty green vegetables every single day (because folic vitamin cannot be stored and you need it daily).

It's some local transfer and all international transfer that won't go through as error would say account incorrect or whatever

But if it's cash St the brand. It would go through.
As long as the acct is not closed

Good to know.

Whilst you prepare to take him to court, go to the police and lodge a case against him.

Thus, you will follow up with a two pronged attach. One is a criminal case while the other is a civil case.

mitchyy:
I didn't do anything. My baby was big due to genes. Everyone in my family are tall and big so my baby obviously took after them. No matter how much i watched my diet, it didnt slow down his weight.
I was 37weeks when i gave birth and he was 3.1kg but scan said 3.5kg.

If you're really worried then cut down on carbs, and eat food in smaller portions.

But don't let it bother you. Enjoy your pregnancy!

It's what I pray for. I want to deliver at 37/38 weeks and I want him to be at least 3.5kg. I eat now like no man's business. But my tummy is still very small. Don't know his weight yet.

firsttymum:
For visa u don't have to be present. U can use agents ( tanko or eddy) or diy

Thanks. I appreciate it.

firsttymum:
browse cbn rate and use it that's what most people use

There's no more CBN rate. It's now interbank rate. Yesterday's rate was about N332 to a dollar.

firsttymum:
honestly only u can answer this. Start with the function of a visa nd d function of a passport. Compare to price... Considering passport isn't done in every state and u must be present. At the end we all must do the passport even though d visa can serve u for a while

As a follow up to this question, can I mail in the US passport for a visa or would I and the baby have to be present?

suzy:
Yes sum1 can pay into the account but u will have issues when u want to collect the money from ur account. cos for part of d reactivation process ur bvn number will be required. hope d details u av on d account is d same details u used on ur bvn? to avoid stories when u wanna reactivate. but in case they are different u can tell d bank u wanna close d account or do necessary changes to d dormant account. But that answers ur questions? Dormant accounts can take deposits

THANKS

I thought if your account is inactive that people can't even pay in.

@ Ezigbozi, That was like a 2 day journey! Pele.

Is Emirates now routing through Abuja and Frankfurt? That would be an unbearable journey if i had to do that. But i have family in Abuja sha. Would always be comfortable there.

nefertitiram:
Nope, not on BA. Infact that $1k+ u saw on BA is a very good buy. Pls don't lose it.

Right?! That's what i keep saying. That the amount looks like a lot right now because of the exchange rate. If at the old rate, this ticket would be about N270k which is a very good deal. Make i siddon dey watch. Hope i don't have cause to say i told you so. Maybe he would have to fly Arik and start connecting flights.
