PCV of 28 percent is fine in pregnancy as long as there is no haemodynamic instability or any medical condition with cardiac compromise.
No ma'am, it's not fine. I had that exact pcv and landed on admission in the hospital.

I had same result 2 weeks ago. I was having heart palpitations, bp was slightly high and dizzy. I was placed on more ferrous. I’m getting better.

Please how long does it take to build back to atleast 34%

Same here. Doctor put me on more blood multivitamins, close check-up, and possible admission if it doesn't improve by next check-up.

You should feel a little better this time around, the next shot after this will be in 6 months. A card with the recorded dates should help you.

Your PCV getting to 34% could take weeks to months or possibly won't improve until after your pregnancy.
As long as your baby continues to draw on a portion of your blood it will not be enough for you.

Oh dear, you landed on admission, so how many pints of blood where you transfused with? Where you symptomatic or did your doctor just want to keep you?

A pcv of 28% without being clinically pale, dizziness, having palpitations or any other signs of cardiac insufficiency or cardiac compromise is enough for you to carry to delivery. You don't need to fuss over your blood volume as long as it is above 24 in pregnancy

Yes, I was pale with very low BP and always weak and dizzy. No blood transfusion but almost 5 drips and lots of drugs that I can't remember.

Exercises to avoid during pregnancy: when to stop exercising etc.
During pregnancy, it’s best to avoid excessive bouncing, jumping, or high-impact activity. Unless you were training at a high level prior to pregnancy, heavy resistance training isn’t recommended because of the risk of injury. The hormone relaxin can cause your ligaments and joints to become increasingly loose during pregnancy. Although you may feel more flexible, it’s best to avoid over stretching. It can lead to injury. Your center of gravity also changes, as your belly gets bigger. Always perform movements slowly and in a controlled way, to avoid falling.

Stop exercising and check with your doctor if you experience any of the following:
Dizziness
Pain
Vaginal bleeding
Shortness of breath
Racing heartbeat
Chest pain
Vaginal fluid leaking

Here are five exercises to avoid when pregnant:

Crunches or sit-ups: Sit-ups and crunches are fine during the first trimester of pregnancy. During the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, you need to avoid lying on your back. As your uterus grows, the weight can compress the blood vessels leading to your heart. This can deprive your growing baby of oxygen.

Hot yoga: Hot yoga leads to overheating of the body, which is not good during pregnancy. Avoid exercising in hot and humid conditions as it overheats the body. However, you can try other yoga poses that are safe during pregnancy. Avoid working out with many layers of clothing, which can cause you to sweat excessively.

Good Morning mamas. Pls help me out oo… my baby broke out with this very stubborn nappy rash all of a sudden ooo… normally her nappy rash is mild and once I use sudocreme it disappears before this next day. This one no clear me at all. Just happened suddenly between Wednesday morning till evening fa. It has sore red blisters. About 5 open shiny and reddish sore/blister around her bum/vulva. I’ve used sudocreme, Vaseline, epiderm and been giving her well kid multivit. The only meal I changed recently was nan ooo. From nan2 optipro to comfortis coz that’s what her dad found in the mall.

Pls what can I use? She doesn’t scratch nor act fussy except during diaper change. I’m considering visiting a paed tmrw bayi. Attached is a photo… (sensitive) she’ll be 10months in few days

Okay dear, thank God you pulled through. By this I can confirm you were only admitted for the hypovolemia (dizziness, shortness of breath, low BP) that you were experiencing at the time.

Since you had no blood transfusion it was not your PCV that was of primary concern. Thank you for your input.

Visit the paed,

Then avoid using the diapers at home. Let her run about bare bottoms at home. Keep applying sudocreme twice a day

Use pure and undiluted ori. It works,apply like every 2 hours and avoid diaper for now. It will be stressful because you'll mop the floor after every pee and poop but it will go

Please pay no mind to what that Ignoramus wrote to you, IUGR at 31 weeks is not a death sentence. Keep taking your routine drugs and rest more often to encourage blood flow to your Lo.

If you haven't already, register with a hospital with Ultrasound for close monitoring of your baby and good SCBU, incase the baby might need to come earlier but at this stage, your baby has a very good fighting chance.

May you come through with great testimony.


Amen....thank u momma..I have been on bed rest from the beginning of the pregnancy and treated as high risk because I kept having contractions on and off from 19weeks..This development came up just last week so we have prepared our minds that baby is coming early..Thank you for your kind words
