Hello mamas, posting this for my friend.

Pregnancy was going smoothly not untill 18 weeks (5 months). She took TT and Malaria drug for the first time. She couldn't sleep with serious abdominal pains that has been lasting for more than 24 hours now. She went back to the hospital and Dr said it's Pre Term Contractions. She was given Nifecure.

Scan has been done, LO is doing fine but Intramural Fibroids was discovered. Please is there any way to manage the pains? It's unbearable and can't even stand well or sleep well.
How do we manage the pregnancy and the fibroid and how to stop the pain

This only means that the fibroid is degenerating,panadol helps to releave the pain but am sorry the pain doesn't go away atimes but she just needs to manage it......she will be fine,fibroid pain is not anybody's mate

abawoman:
Good afternoon Moms. Please, does anyone know more about reusable diapers for babies.. Possibly a brand name, contact of seller and how it works. Is it advisable to use it.
Thanks

Do you mean cloth diapers? I haven’t used them before but I think they aren’t bad if you don’t mind the constant washing. You can check Ali express to buy.
It’s usually two parts, the main diaper and a lining/insert

AmNuhRegular:

Where did you purchase please

Abeg when should I increase my activeness? I'm almost 36weeks. Although the nature of my work doesn't keep me seated for a long time. And I've been unintentionally doing plenty trekking these days. Hope it's part of the activeness. My fear is make labour no start when I haven't travelled yet. Planning to travel ending of next week sha.

36 weeks is 9months. You can start then.
Something as little as doing house chores can really help alot.
Trekking counts too. Just make sure you're on your feet almost all the time.
It makes labor easier and also prepares your body for the pain, you might end up not feeling any pain at all during labor.

Same here... I was not screaming at all.
Even the other Mama's were surprised how I could hold the pain not knowing I was barely feeling the pain.
I have 2 hyperactive boys that kept me busy throughout the pregnancy so I guess I have them to thank for that.
