Welcome and happy bumping

firsttymum:
what exactly do u experience, blotting or constipation? Excessive gas? Elaborate

Main while welcome to this thread

Nausea, diarrhoea, bloating and hives. Have you seen the movie "white girls"?

Not funny at all. I dont play with anything remotely lactose related.

@Nef: Yes. I take calcium supplements instead but was wondering if there are other foods I can take besides cracking bones. Lol

Welcome Nwarosa, your stay here shall be fruitful and rewarding. Amin
As the current last born here, sit down gently o.
I will bring you your membership card.

Have you started your prenatal vitamins? Dont stress yourself, eat healthy and stay clear of anything that could trigger an illness ( cold, cough, malaria, typhoid) cos you know no drugs for you in 1st trimester.
Dont hesitate to ask questions.

Hello mamas, please what can I do to ease my bloating and constipation. I get so bloated after eating that I can't breathe well, and I eat very little.

First, hope you are feeling better after treating the Malaria?

Bloating may be as a result of you swallowing air along side your food, so dont gulp your food.
It can also be caused by gas-producing foods ( onions, cabbage, beans, fried foods and sugary foods) so you may want to go easy on such foods.

For the constipation,( which is the cause of your bloating), increase your fibre intake, spread your meals, drink a lot of water so that the water keeps pushing the food thru the digestive tract, exercise.
Also note that eating fruits immediately after eating is wrong. Fruits are acidic and start reacting with the food in the slow moving digestive tract. This causes production of gas (bloating).
It is advisable to eat fruits before eating or @ least 2hrs after eating.

Know that digestion is slow in pregnancy cos one hormone like that is secreted to slow all muscles down.

So if you do all above and see no change, its part of the preggie package

Breathing what are you doing here?

adding to what Zaynie said
Reduce whole cream milk... Settle for skimmed milk
Try cucumber at night (by morning u wld open ur bowel with a lot of gas too)
Start ur day with fruits

Ok na! no milk for u

First of all I'm going to assume u know the function of vit D and its relation to calcium.
Summary is u need vit D for d absorption of calcium
So that's where u see
Cod liver oil (Oga pata pata )
Kellogg's ( yes o) you'll see on their packs the content of vit D
Yoghurt , milk et al (ignore as u no dey take milk)
Fish (second Oga, but sadly can't remember d specific type )
Eggs ( inshort my mum sings eggs in my ears)

Fruits rich in calcium
Apple
Oranges
Dates ( can't remember d Hausa name) but aboki carry it on a tray, if don't look well u will think it's kola...... Very good for preggy mothers



Chai they use to make us cram these things in med school... But in America the list is long cos dey have all d fruits available.

Thank you so very much. I don siddon o. learning and praying. I am only taking folic acid for now. Started before I took in. I hope to start seeing a gynae next week. I know its early but after two mc I don't want to take chances.
