Good morning Mamas. Is PCV of 28% too low for a pregnant woman? I went for PCV test at 4months and it was 28%> I did another one at 6months and it still said 28%. I don't know if the error can be from the scientist or that's just what it is. The doctor recommended that I increase my fersolate intake to twice a day.

Hope nothing is wrong with me

It is low for a pregnant woman. I had pcv of 29% at 5 months plus low blood pressure and I was admitted to treat the 2.

Your blood pressure is ok and I think only your doctor can advise on what to do concerning the low pcv

Hamzashaf99:

I believe it's part of pregnancy congestion, coupled with the very dry and dusty harmattan we have now.

The sneeze will be felt in your pelvis, very painful. I'm just managing it and avoiding cold water for now.

Very painful! I'm glad someone else can relate.

Avoidance of cold water? really? now i'm confused. I was advised to be taking cold water o maybe because of the bleeding i experienced last week. They said it will make my body/tummy cool as hotness may trigger another bleeding. What do i know? As a FTM we download every advice hahaha

I notice that it makes it worse for me, even though the weather is hot sometimes. I just take my water straight from the tap. That's my only reason, even though that one hardly quenches thirst unless I drink a lot.

Hello teamies! How are we all doing? Please let's start talking and chatting with each other because that is the main purpose of this group and our seniors have been excellent in helping out with some concerns and advice which I know most if not all of us appreciates.

I will lead by example by providing Little one's gender and I'll like us to follow suit. I'll try as much as possible to always update our roll call till the end of every successful birth because the Lord has perfected all that concerns us, He will surely see us through alive and healthy.

I hope we have started shopping for baby's things(I have and almost done)? Please let's endeavor to do so before we become heavier which would then become harder to do. For those who are going through financial challenge, may Almighty God miraculously surprise you beyond your expectations and He will make things easy for and on us.

Furthermore, please let's take our antenatal drugs seriously and also eat healthy like eating fruits no matter how little it is.

Lastly, God Almighty that has brought us this far will see us through. None among us shall die nor have a still birth. We shall carry to term and people shall rejoice with us very soon in Jesus name.

BS! BS! BS!

Finally I have the privilege to share my birth story.

For the privilege of testimony and thanksgiving, Quick throwback to 2018.

So I got married to DH in 2018 and before our white wedding, I experienced my first miscarriage. Like joke, I suffered recurrent first trimester miscarriages three different times, of course, Doctors cannot explain why this happens. Forward to Oct 2019, I conceived even when I was not planning. How did it end? I had IUFD at 9 months - 7th July, 2020 - accompanied with bleeding due to placenta abruptio. I was sectioned to deliver my beautiful baby girl but, then she was already lifeless. I was transfused 6 pints of blood to be alive today. Fast forward to 2021. I planned to take in, yes it was not accidental but, I was worried about the outcome. Really exhausted from miscarriages and disappointments. I remember saying that prayer, "God, if you won't grant me this honor, do not take me half way". If you have experienced evacuation as a woman, your prayers will almost be never to conceive than to miscarry along the way.

So the journey started in May, 2021. I prayed intentionally and I closely questioned every impossibility. My Dr. adviced me to do cyclogest treatment up to 20 weeks. But I am both stubborn physically and spiritually. So, I thought to myself, I did all the bed rest and progesterone treatment yet, I lost my baby to IUFD. Hubby was ready to embark on this journey at all cost but, I told him I was not doing any medical treatment except bed rest. He bought cyclogest and I personally called the pharmacy to return it and exchange it for prenatal vitamins. I encourage DH to meet me at the level of my faith. We prayed the prayers, had the bad dreams of course but we were determined to win this time.

Please, let me not be sounding like it was my capacity, No. God had me all the way because at the time I took in, I needed bed rest but, I am also a working class mum. I thought it through, then a program came up in my office that needed 2 months virtual participation, I was successfully selected to participate. Guys, see bed rest on a platter. LOL!
So, just before I finished the program, I was past my first trimester. Apart from the usual symptoms, I had no cause for alarm. Then I resumed work in my second trimester and everything continued to move well with lil anxiety here and there though.

Fast forward to this year, 2022. EDD was 14, Feb, 2022 - val things. I was excited, all of a sudden, my consultant started suggesting CS because of my medical history. I really struggled with this option. Not because CS was a big deal but because I always wanted to have the pleasure of jagina delivery too - all round experience - and a second time CS would mean a risk for jajina trial in the future.

Well, story cut short. I was told that 37 weeks it would be for me. I went home and prepared my mind. A week to my 37 weeks, consultant booked me for 29th Jan, 2022 - that is 38 weeks. I did not object. More time for me. I went home happily. A week to my 38 weeks, I visited and they insisted on admitting me and carrying out surgery the next day. Ah!!! Ogbeni is that how this butchering is easy for you people to mutter? Do you know how I have been adjusting psychologically? I refused o. Before they could gather in accordance to convince me, I packed my bag and ran home o without looking back. I called my mum and told her to start preparing for 29th is the date.

Finally, on 28th, I was supposed to check into the hospital against 29th but my spirit was cold. I simply stayed back and slept on my bed. Lol!!!
DH was just like, this my wife, please let us get this thing over with na. I said hubby, everything will be fine. That morning, we got to the hospital very early. We went to check in with the nurses that started giving attitudes as to why I did not come last night. I just said, I could not come but I have come now. After much drama, I asked them, do you want to cancel my booking and send me home? Lol!!!

Las las, they prepared my bed and dressed me up. Reality gradually started closing in on me. I started sleeping o. When they took me to the theater, I continued sleeping. Dr. came and tapped me saying, "I like the way you are just relaxed about this process. The only thing remaining in your disposition now is beer and fish". I laughed out loud and said, "Dr. CS it is and nothing else. So, let me be sleeping until we are ready".

Finally, in the order of Sarah, my laughter has come. My cute princess was birthed on the 29th of Jan, 2022. Everyone who heard me has been laughing with me.

Yours will also end in praise.

Take home
- mean it when you trust God. Don't doubt Him.
-still do your part because faith must be accompanied with work
-the baby that will stay will stay.
-know what your problem is and handle it. Mine was first trimester miscarriages.
-mums we are and children must come. So, remain +ve against all odds
