akp202:
Pls is erythromycin (to be taken once every six hours ) safe in pregnancy (first trimester)?

The drug is for infection I think, I was given when my water sac break bt no labour so dunno about first trimester

abike12:


This happened to me after my first. It's pre-eclampsia (yes, one can develop it after delivery). All through the pregnancy, no bp issues at all then few days after delivery I had this bad headache that refused to go away. I went to the doctor and they checked my bp and it was really high. Please take it seriously and don't hesitate to go back to the hospital with any concerns.

Thanks mama, will start the drug again and go back to the hospital if no changes

Omakraid:

Haa mama, agbo inu naa ni o but mamas here Strictly advice against it... Nkan ti mo fun omo mi niyen, we weren't even consistent and there was no issues.. Maybe you should switch to nospamin or Infacol after the agbo wears of in her body.. How old is she

Same here, I use agbo inu and Jedi for my baby and not really consistent self but I gv him nospamin everyday mawni and night(am jt giving interval in d days now). I don't use to remember pressing self

StarryV:
Forgive me mama. Na impatience dey worry me . Amen to your prayers. How's our prince doing?
As for mama waistbead let's hope she remembers us after delivery, but I believe she's ok. Please has anyone heard from Ma'am Flowergirl0 Hope she's fine too.

No wahala, I understand how u feel jare
He's doing very well o,

Yes o, I pray for everyone on our team, God will perfect it all for us, mother and baby at the end of the day.

HYPEREMESIS GRAVIDARUM (HG)
#ATGHyperemesisGravidarum #ATGNausea

�What is it?

While many pregnant women experience morning sickness (nausea, possibly with vomiting, generally in the morning hours) and other discomforts during pregnancy , women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) have morning sickness times 1,000.���

HG is severe nausea that results in significant weight loss and may require hospitalization. One very significant finding besides weight loss is Ketone in urine- due to prolonged lack of glucose in the body.

�What are the symptoms?

Women with HG have severe nausea and vomiting that is usually debilitating. The vomiting and reduced appetite leads to weight loss and dehydration. Quality of life at those time is also affected.
The major difference between HG and normal morning sickness is that HG results in a weight loss of 5 percent or more of your pre-pregnancy weight. �

�Complications of Hyperemesis Gravidarum
Nutritional deficiency
Electrolyte abnormalities
Esophageal injury (from the retching)
Thrombosis
Preeclampsia
Low birth weight baby

�Who is at risk?

Doctors do not fully know this but we do know that it MAY be likely in:
�Multiple pregnancy (Twin, triplet)
��Molar pregnancy
��First pregnancy
��Previous history of HG

�Can you prevent it?

Unfortunately You cannot prevent HG � but you can take steps to control and manage it during your pregnancy.
The most important thing you can do for you and your baby is to get regular prenatal care. HG can lead to not getting enough nutrients, which can be harmful to both you and your baby. However, with proper treatment, there are typically no long-term effects to either mom or child after the pregnancy.

�How is it treated?

If you have been diagnosed with HG, the priority is ensuring you have enough nutrients to keep you and your baby healthy.
For some women, a diet of bland foods and fluids may be enough, while others may need to take medication to help relieve the nausea.
In severe cases, you may need to be hospitalized to receive nutrients and fluids via intravenous (IV) line. You may feel down about having to be in the hospital during your pregnancy. But remember that you are just doing what you need to do to protect your and your baby’s health!

Many women start to feel better by the 20th week of pregnancy, while some continue to experience symptoms throughout the entire pregnancy.

�Planning to get pregnant again?

If you’ve had HG in the past, talk to your doctor when you are thinking about getting pregnant again. It’s important to make sure you are physically, emotionally and psychologically ready to begin another pregnancy. If you had severe weight loss or other nutritional deficiencies, you’ll need to talk to your doctor about making sure you are healthy before getting pregnant.

And I remember taking 2 doses in my previous pregnancy. Please is it 2 or 3 doses cos I have not taken it and google is not even confusing me.

According to my hospital it is to be taken once in a month, they will be the one to prescribe it for you themselves.

Thanks for your response mama...I started since 19weeks and I have taken 3 Doses and am 27weeks now

My BS!
Hmm, when I say this child is a testimony, believe me..
This is my third baby, I have a boy and girl 7yrs & 6yrs respectively and the gap between them and this child is neither accidental nor planned! Life happened.
I started planning for 3rd missionary journey when my daughter was less than 2 years old, it took 4 good years complete (Dec, 2017 till Dec, 2021) to find out I was pregnant. If you check my earliest post on this moniker, it was my testimony on TTC thread.
This child was conceived when I had almost given up and decided to face other things and a lot of things just fell in place at the same time.
First trimester was war, I was sick everyday, spitting couldn't eat anything but peppersoup (with uda o, if I don't add uda it won't taste well, so I added in moderation) and Nescafé 3 in 1coffee.
Second trimester was so much better but unfortunately my spitting did not stop but at least I slayed small and libido was a bit high, chai!
Third trimester, tiredness, heaviness everything but I still tried to look good and had small libido until around 35weeks when if I see d..k sef I feel like slapping oga.
From 36 weeks, it became a battle just to stand up, I hated being pregnant at this point o (God forgive me), I appreciated the gift, but everything about being pregnant was just not going well with me again from that time.
My midwife checked me at my 38 +4 appt, after asking some questions, I told her my baby was a bit slow as his movements had reduced a bit, hmm oyibo no dey take chances o, in no time I was at maternity assessment unit, next thing doc said you will be induced.
Go to Delivery suite tomorrow 9am.
9am tuesday I was there.
Pessary was started around 11am, nothing happened. 2nd pessary inserted by 5pm and by 11pm it had worked small so they broke my water and I started contracting.
I had already signed birth plan, and pain relief before this time and I requested for epidural, because the pain I felt in the other two pregnancies scarred me for life. They said the anesthesiologist was in theater and gave me gas to start with.
The gas wasn't helping, soon the epidural guy came, set up the stuff, put their needles etc in my back and told me after 30mins i won't feel anymore pain! E no work!
Me and hubby were discouraged, labour wasn't progressing and they wanted to give me syntocin drip. I told hubby I won't take that drip without epidural, I can't go through that pain of that level of induction again.
As God will have it, that anaesthesiologist went home and another one came, this time a young lady, immediately I saw her my spirit calmed down, I was willing to try again and this time it worked.
You need to see me cruising hot drip without an ounce of pain, I was seeing contractions on the monitor but no pain, I even slept off till I was 9cm dilated.
9cm dilated, baby was still high up, not coming down not getting to 10cm.
They said they will try for me to push, baby refused to come down and his heart rate was going down with every contraction but coming back up again after the contraction, everything was clear on the monitor and they were worried why it was happening.
Doc came and gave us 2 options.
1, assisted delivery with forceps and/ or suction cups
2, CS
We gave consent for CS cos even the forceps delivery many times damage babies shoulder and still ends in CS. Turns out cord was wrapped twice around his neck, that's why he couldn't descend and using forceps to pull him out would have been disastrous but Mercy said No!
My baby was brought out crying loud like town crier weighing 3.41kg, healthy with plenty hair. 17th August, my favourite niece's birthday mate too
Indeed, God has done me well, and I am grateful.

Congratulations..


Welcome LO.

No be small Cry see baby face

congratulations, I've seen a neighbour that did the 4th cs recently but the truth is she worked closely with her gynecologist.So I would say you should relax and work closely with a good gynecologist.

I know someone that did 4cs. Funny thing about hers was that the last 3 was just a year interval each. 2019, 2020 and 2021. The first was in 2010. You will be fine ma, God will be with you every step of the way
