Good morning All,

my heart goes out to @rockmania...God Be with you always and console u. I want to also ask us all to please contribute your little experiences with different hospitals during pregnancies...a lot of Us like me dont know what to expect from our doctors & Nurses during our visits to the hospitals during pregnancy and deliveries. In my search for a good Hospital to have my baby at..i realised that theres so little information about where to go...what to do...and what to expect when u visit the hospital...i created a topic for sharing experiences with Different Hospitals..just to see if we can educate and inform each other on what to expect and What NOT..and possibly places to avoid....I BELEIVE WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER BY SHARING...as for me..my search is still on...visited some suggestions from moms on this thread already...visting another today....

PLS...THIS IS NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THIS THREAD....its just stricty for hospital experiences. Pls contribute if you wish....

Hi all,

Wow what a great response, and to all the subscribers we are gonna try to stay on track the goal is to help each other.

@ sheyee You can take a malaria drug that is safe to use during pregnancy, consult with your doctor and verify with your pharmacist befor you take any medication taht it is safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

@mjconcept pprom happens when the water (sac) the baby is inside breaks prematurely befor full term has been acheived in the pregnancy. This is very dangerous, because the mom runs the risk of infection, and delivering the baby early which also has complications associated with it.

@aaro007 its a great thread and we wont let, negative elements stop it, good shall always conquer evil

@oknee congrats on your pregnancy and wishing you a very safe delivery, once you are 37 weeks its classified as full term

@rockmania my heart goes out to you as i read your post i was in tears, remembering when i lost my 5 month pregnancy, the feeling is so raw still and its been almost 3 years. To an extent if i was examined properly they would have seen that i was in preterm labour even though my water did not break, this happened in Canada, so i cant even blame anybody in Nigeria for it. One year later i conceived again and that pregnancy was incredibly scary omg, but to g-d be the glory, my son is turing 2 in July. I started this thread because all the symptoms i noted in my first post are the complications that landed me in the  high risk pregnancy unit for a few months i stayed in the hospital on bedrest. Hoping and praying me and my son will make it out alive, G-d is faithful and he will see you and your wife through, your home will be filled with little feet running everywhere. What i want to suggest is that you find out where the pediatric hospitals in your area are and if they have incubators, also with your wife's PPROM, she may need to take progesterone or p-17 shots next pregnancy so he waters dont break prematurely again, please especially if you are in Nigeria where doctors are "not int eh know how" educate yourself and speak to your doctors with your recommendations for your healthcare.

@ IB welcome and congrats on your pregnancy, wishing you a wonderful third trimester and a safe delivery, make sure you come back and tell us about the labor experience

At all lets continue to share we are only moving forward and not looking back

This thread is created for people to share their experiences using various hospitals in Lagos (for now). it is born out of the realisation that Information on User experiences (direct from the "horses mouth" ) with different hospitals and opinions on them is not readily available online, especially when i started searching for a good hospital to have my little One.

This thread is specifically for Pregnant women from all divides. Please feel free to share....Ladies...

You can use Vones at Onike. I had my first there, it's like three houses away from tabade pharmacy close to Onike roundabout. It's owned by an elderly man, Dr Esue, he's a gynecologist, worked at UCH for many years and he's really good. My baby was big so I was given an episiotomy, I also had to be induced and she swallowed meconium before coming out but everything was handled very well. We were even discharged the next day. I stopped going there only because of the distance (Gbagada to Onike)...opted for the hospital owned by my church, it's only a street away from us and the doctors there are good too although they are not specialists.
St. Luke's is another good hospital, it's on commercial avenue, close to ozone cinemas, if you are coming in from Sabo, its a 2 or 3 storey building like 2 houses before the street where you have White House. My eldest sister gave birth there and she says it's a good hospital.

thanks a lot @limsycutey....my case was about thesame, was in labor for 15hrs, was augmented twice and stlll had a CS at the end. the healing period wasnt nice at all, as such my hesitation in going just anywhere. will check on your suggested hospital...mammas, please kindly keep the suggestions coming...just in my 2nd month of pregnancy now.....

Hello All, i am about having my second child, first time having a baby in Lagos..please could you recommend good private hospitals in and around Surulere, Yaba, Ikeja areas, currently live in Yaba. my first experience wasnt very good...all comments are appreciated.
