Please worry not, just pray a lot.
My first is now seven, and I had that scare with him. Take your bed rest seriously, take your drugs.

It may also sound somehow, but be assured that anything that happens, was bound to happen. There's nothing you could have done.

Insha Allah! Thank you. How was your own like? I mean the experience. I am hoping on Allah to take control. That bed rest is what I am trying my possible best to do but it's not easy since I have no one to help and kids around too.

It was just once sha, a gush of blood when I woke up in the morning. The bleeding stopped within two days. What helped me was that I was admitted, so I was able to sleep throughout.

I know it won't be easy with kids, but you would have to cut down on non essential tasks. It would be nice to have someone help you for a few days.

Also, like I said, sometimes you just do your best and pray. Allah will keep any baby that's supposed to live no matter your interventions, so pray,and we'll also pray for you.

I woke up to a little clot of blood just like period,I will be heading to hospital immediately it's 8am. Maybe keeping me there with them will be easy for my bed rest and monitoring.

The pains women go through in pregnancy can be daunting. I feel for pregnant women. they care for themselves and the unborn child. The joy that follows the birth of a child makes the mother want to go one more time.
What do you think?

I had a treathened miscarriage at 12 weeks. By God's grace my baby will be 2yrs in 3 days time. Just reduce and possibly avoid every form of stress. And hope you're not bathing too much hot water?

No. My bathing water is always warm. I just got home now. Doctor said I should observe strict bed rest for a week and go back for another scan but if there is any other bleeding he has no other option than to admit me,that the clot spotting is from the placenta. Cos the scan shows the fetus is doing fine. Will be 8 weeks tomorrow.

Hi everyone,

I have been a silent reader/follower on this thread and other similar threads on this fruit of the womb journey. It's not an easy one but it's all worth it in the end.

Got married in August 2022. First pregnancy in Nov 2022 but was lost at 6 weeks (blighted ovum). Wifey got pregnant again in January 2023. We lost the baby boy at 32+ weeks in utero in late Sept 2023 out of the Doctor's carelessness. Wifey was severely hypertensive and he didn't handle it well. It was a traumatic experience.

Wifey got pregnant again in December 2023 and we just welcomed our bundle of joy last week ending. This time around, we went to a Federal Hospital. Despite their bureaucracy and frustrating methods of doing things, they've enough capable and competent hands to care for one. Mother and baby are healthy and doing fine. Wifey was still hypertensive in this pregnancy but they followed it up bumper to bumper with enough dosage for both mother and fetus and her BP was always within normal range all through this pregnancy.

Few Lessons and tips from our experience:

- Federal Hospitals are much more better than Private clinics, if you can handle the stress. Most private Clinic Practitioners tend to be jack of all trades. It was later I found out the Doctor at the private clinic we initially went to wasn't even a Gynaecologist in the first place but he tends to pregnant women.

- Tracking of ovulation works. Wifey tracks her religiously and we do the BD at the peak periods.

- Pre-seed lubricant works wonders too in aiding conception. Though we didn't use in the last pregnancy because we weren't even expecting to conceive yet, we were just "having fun" but in previous times we used it with ovulation tracking, it works really well.

- We also did lifestyle changes. Cut out sugar, lost weight and exercised regularly.

Wishing baby dust to all Parents trying to conceive and to those already heavy, safe deliveries.

Now I can "enjoy" Father's day with my full chest.

Congratulations to you and your family. I can’t imagine what you’ve been through! But, I have a few thoughts about your experience at the government hospital.

The same frustrating and bureaucratic system you mentioned is the reason I still can’t forgive myself for my wife’s death at a government (teaching) hospital. My wife and I initially started at a private hospital, where everything was going smoothly until an issue arose, and we had to switch hospitals (that’s a story for another day).

While we were still at the private hospital, we went through a few episodes of threatened miscarriages, intense vomiting (no food stays in her stomach for weeks), and bleeding at different times, yet her pregnancy remained intact. Her experience was tough, and we had to undergo a cervical cerclage at 16 weeks, which was successful at the private hospital.

Because of "that issue," we had to move to a government hospital at 24+ weeks, based on her consultant’s advice and other people's recommendations. On the day she was to deliver, I was, as usual, given a prescription to get Vitamin K1. I searched the entire hospital (which has more than 10 pharmacies), but it was nowhere to be found. I then went to some of the largest private pharmacies in Ikeja, Opebi/Allen, and Ogba (Alpha Pharmacy, Boluke, Healthplus, etc.), but still couldn’t find it. By the time I returned to the hospital, about 2-3 hours later, my wife had already delivered our babies. One of the babies came out pale and needed a blood transfusion. Meanwhile, my wife was still in pain and hadn’t recovered. But thankfully, the husband of a friend my wife made at the ward was able to help with blood test and all. Like my wife, his wife was pregnant and also admitted.

Anyone who has used a government hospital knows that they won’t give a patient even basic medication like paracetamol unless someone is there to pay and get the drug. Throughout the time my wife was admitted to the government hospital, every blood test required me to go get the collection bottle from one location, find a nurse to draw her blood, take the sample to another location, and then return hours or a day later to get the results and bring them to the doctor. I did this every day for a week—I suffered ehn! This was something we never experienced at the private hospital; all we had to do was pay. I hustled for every single thing myself: the blood we needed in case of an emergency after the C-section was gotten from another private blood bank, the RhoGAM injection she was to take after delivery 'cos of her (-) Rhesus factor, and more. It was a horrible experience.

I can’t write out everything here, but one thing is certain: some of the people who advised us to use a government hospital for the "best care" later admitted that "private hospitals are better." The only advice I can give anyone is to follow their heart.

My wife had already delivered our babies before 4 p.m., but they kept her in bed over 5 hours later until she died. During my research, I later learned that the global standard for women who undergo C-sections is to get them moving/walking as soon as possible to prevent blood clots. Want to know how my wife died, according to the hospital? Pulmonary embolism (a blood clot). And guess what happened to the other man’s wife, the friend my wife made? She died two days later in the same hospital.

I’m sharing this here because my wife was a devoted follower of this thread.

Another thing I’ll point out: doctors in both private and government hospitals are often no different. Many of them work in private practice and are rarely available to check on their patients' progress. The consultant who attended to my wife throughout our stay at the private hospital was the same person who performed her C-section. This same doctor works in four additional private hospitals. So, what they do is deliver your baby and then leave. Maybe that’s standard medical practice, I wouldn’t know. However, one thing I’m sure of is that my experience wouldn’t have been as bad in a proper private hospital. A private hospital also wouldn’t have abandoned us the way they did my family. Two nurses who were friends with my wife (she was extremely likable, and everyone loved her during her stay) called to check on us and couldn't hold back the tears. One even laid heavy curses on the doctors cos she knows how they operate. But there was no follow-up regarding the babies’ health and progress. Dem no send anybody papa. Well, I have since moved my family elsewhere. Lessons have been learned in the most painful and devastating way.


Sorry for the long post, and congratulations once again to you and your family.

Damn

This is too much. If I may ask please, what made you leave the private hospital? If they have been very good like you said, leaving shouldn't have been an option except maybe their billing was too much.
I'm so sorry man.

Ekabobo:



My dear, I knew in my heart mine was XY.... No single vomit, or saliva, no nausea, no heightened smelll..... dats what everyone says.... Plus I been want hang boot too...

But am glad I checked early... Now am over the gender disappointment thingy and can't wait to see this wonder girl after three miscarriages...

Anyone dat ever ever tells me that a symptomless pregnancy means a baby boy, I will use Thier intestine and braid knotless braid!

.

My previous pregnancies have always been symptoms less maybe with slight morning sickness, not able to eat meat/fish twice vomit and not able to take sweet things.

But this one the symptoms are the same oo, except that I didnt have any single vomit and that sugar cravings was at the highest

I did scan around 18weeks but the sonographer didn't tell the sex, maybe baby was hiding it

Thank you.
Explaining the reasons we left would mean revealing too much details. But just to clarify, the reason is unrelated to billing, but more about the hospital policy - a very senseless, religion-informed policy.

Good day house, please what could be the reason why a woman can have a watery discharge in her breast??

Nb: not a lactating mother and never given birth

no cause 4 alarm at all... At all at all... Vomitting obviously dont help in keeping the electrolytes and vitamins u need in your bodythat xan help to stay strong n to help ur feed d baby in the womb, it makes u weak. Even though vomitting cant cause miscarriage even if one vomit to d extent of vomiting blood, its not something that one shpuld pray for.
