Artemether lumefantrine is safe in all trimesters according to recent studies. It’s not the reason for the contractions u felt, in fact malaria is most likely the culprit. It is generally prescribed at the teaching hospital here. I’ve used it thrice in this pregnancy and my scans are perfect. There’s no cause for alarm.

Team August here.

I have been a little worried mamas. I had malaria at 11 weeks and the doctor prescribed armatem. After using for 3 days , I started feeling contractions, pull and bites. Visited UCH and was later prescribed Amodiaquine which I also used for 3 days and was fine. Was just surfing the Internet one day and read that Armatem (Artemether&Lumefantrine) combination shouldn't be taken in first trimester. I guess it explained the contractions and all however, I am perfectly fine now. But I worry for my baby just hope it hasn't affected his or her formation and growth somehow. I asked the doctor why prescribe it if it was contraindicated but he said at 11 weeks, the fetus had formed and wont have any effect. I'm booked for an anormaly scan next week and I'm kind of scared sha.

so sorry about the experience mama. Just to add it, please whenever we are given a drug to use please let's do well to Google it out and see if it's really safe for use during pregnancy especially for our trimester.

Had same experience in my first trimester, infact wasnt upto 10 weeks preggy that time. the yeye nurse prescribed some drugs for me to make my surgery spot heal fast, I asked her severally if it was safe for me and she said yes, that night after taking it I had so much cramps I thought I will see blood. Was rolling on the bed praying.

The next morning I sent the prescription to the doctor and she told me to stop them immediately as they are not safe for me. All the nurse could do was apologize and apologize and apologize. What if something bad has happened nah apology I go chop? Since then I don't fail to ask Google oooo and post it here to hear from other mamas.

Am sure your LO is fine.. you will hear good news ijn

Jackie2021:
Good morning fellow mothers . Please I need your advise o as I am a ftm. I am 41 weeks and 3 days yet no sign of labour. My hospital is saying I will be induced at 42 weeks if I don’t go into labour. Some people have been telling me 42 weeks is to late that I should have been induced by now. What do you think about this as I am panicking badly.

Hello ma'am, what's up with you now, any update? Safest delivery

Amen. Thank you. I'm a Ftm. Sure such a thing will definitely not happen again. I kinda trusted the doctor's prescription without checking it out cos he's an obstetrician and i was specifically referred there by another doctor.

i used palmoil i bought frm african shop... Even thou i was advice not to bath him wit d umbilocal cord... D white stuff babies come wit just didnt sit well wit me, i was eager to wash it off... So i did just dt immediately i got home, wen d midwife dt came to visit me asked if i bath us already, i said no ooo... Mk dem no go report me 4 social service lol.... I didnt use sponge... I just use small white cloth lik bib to wash his body with warm water n johnson cotton touch bath n wash soup to wash d palmoil away, i only use d soup once cs of d palmoil oil off... Then i use coconut oil to rub his enter body... Dasol ooo. 4 d umbilical cord... Avoid water touching it n use spirit to clean it... D tin will dry up immediately n come right off.... I used dis spirit below to clean baby's cord, n its off d forth day.

In love with Johnson's cottontouch. Trying vanilla oat this time around.

Once you get a good methylated spirit with regular clean the cord comes off earlier.
I get spirit from the hospital after my firat experience with fake spirit.

No. I've been weak since 3 days ago. I still like food especially well prepared ones.

Then that's heaviness, it is well. It really feels like it's two inside there. Then this evening my skin was feeling stretched like there's no space to expand anymore but it wants to by force. I'm just wondering how it will be at 9 months.
And we still have April, May and June to go

For the mums that were medically induced for labor, can you please share your experiences? The process, pain ratio, how long it took…

I requested to be medically induced when I have passed the two due dates given to me by scan. That fateful day around 2pm I jejely carried myself to the hospital because hubby was not around and I didn't even want to tell anyone for fear of discouragement cos I already zero my mind. I was induced around 2p.m in the afternoon, after the induced I insisted on going home to eat and rest since the hospital is a stone throw to my house. I started having on and off contraction after 4p.m and after eating, I showered and walk down to the.hospital around 7p.m. The nurse on duty tested me and said I have a long way to go na so I mellow and lie down on the bed. At exactly 8:30 pm, I had this very sharp pain down my tummy and from there serious labour started ooo. My sister I went to heaven and came back but I thank God for his mercies because I gave birth around 10:21pm that same night.

Two things helped me
1. I zeroed my mind that pain na pain o because my tired is already tired.
2. God's grace and mercy.

Please complain to them at the clinic, learnt they don't take anyhw drug for catarrh/running nose. I do use hot water alone sha because I hate drugs to the brim, I massage my nose with it and drink attyms. The paracetamol self,
am always careful about it, if they told me 3times a day, I do reduce it to 2times a day.
