Stay away from pineapples if ur still in ur 1st trimester. Most other fruits are fine... my DR placed me on folic acid as soon as I got my BFP, up until now I am still taking folic acid (19 weeks). it's very important for ur baby so pls take it 'faithfully' Most mamas take pregnacare as a vitamin supplement, but mostly make sure u try to eat well and balance ur meals appropriately.

Godmother:A recent study found that doing pelvic-floor-muscle exercises, known as Kegels, may reduce the risk of urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after. To perform Kegels, first locate the muscles by stopping and starting the flow of urine; that's the motion. (Don't do the exercises while urinating.) Then do 10 Kegels three times a day. Another technique that may help is perineal massage, which is stretching the tissues around the vaginal opening in the weeks before delivery. Research suggests that it reduces the risk of tears, the need for forceps and vacuum devices, and the rate of episiotomy (a surgical cut in the perineum made to ease delivery, which can cause complications). To condition your perineum, wash your hands and apply a lubricant (almond oil, K-Y, or cocoa butter) to the area. Then place your thumbs about 1 to 1 1/2 inches inside your vagina. Pressing downward, gently stretch until you feel a slight burning or tingling sensation. Hold the pressure for about two minutes or until the tissue begins to feel numb. Repeat this towards the right side of the vagina for two more minutes and then to the left. Perform this technique daily (your partner can help!) starting at 34 weeks of pregnancy. I just saw this on google, i dnt have d mind to try it 3 Likes 1 Share |

Godmother:The number of scans depends on the individuals case! But if all is well here in naija is 3scans but abodo oyinbo Na 4! There's one dey do to check for downs syndrome. Its still a debate weda too many scans have an effect on the baby or not. As for the perennial massage its the ridge between the Angus and the jajaina that is massaged with the thumb or index finger using a lubricant not the jajaina itself! Your hubby can help you do it. faari:Folic acid is the most important supplement a preggy woman needs! All others can be avoided if you have a healthy meal plan! Please take your folic mama. Haven't used centrum before pregnacare was OK for me it contains all the vitamins and mineral I and my baby required. 1 Like |

Liftedhands: In the UK the normal number of scans if all is progressing well is 2. One at 12 weeks which is the dating scan when your EDD is given. And the other is at 20 weeks When they can check the sex. The next time is when you start labour. All the down syndrom, spina bifida and other ailements are checked within these 2 scans and the corresponding bloodwork that is done with it. If you want any other scans this will need to be done privately. They will only do additional scans if there is an issue. 1 Like |

I'm breaking up with the father ofmyunborn child. I know it's gonna be tough but I'll survive. What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. I'm tired of being taken for granted. I don't want to bring up my son in an atmosphere devoid of love. We've only had our traditional marriage so I know people will talk but eventually I'll be the one to live with him. I have shed so much tears in this pregnancy than I'd ever done since I was born. Just wanna let it all out |

sugarcanebaby:You alone knows what you are going thru and how its affecting you, but I'd rather suggest a separation for now! Not total breakup! Go some place where you can have peace and joy at least for the sake of your unborn baby! when the tempers are down both of you can try give it another chance. Don't forget to pray for him he's the father of your baby! May God in His infinite mercy settle all discord in your lives I'm Jesus name amen. 4 Likes |

sugarcanebaby: *hugs* Don't decide in a hurry dear. Itemise the issues probably by writing them down and see if indeed they cannot be resolved peacefully. Sometimes pregnancy hormones kinda exaggerate the way we feel and react to some issues. Pray before you come to a conclusion. God be with you and direct you accordingly. 6 Likes |

Liftedhands:No ma. It's not 4 scans they give o. The hospital gives you 1 or 2. Thats the standard if your pregnancy is progressing very well with no complications. Some doctors will however give you more ultrasounds at their discrection but overall it's usually not more than 2. The first being dating ultrasound (that's usually done if you have some bleeding or threatened abortion) and the second one around 20weeks (anatomy scan to check for abnormalities). They won't even check the babies weight to know how much the baby is weighing, so far they've used the tape measure to measure your belly and you're not measuring more than 2 weeks ahead and behind and you're not high risk. However, you can get ultrasounds done at a private place, But it's usually so expensive (average of $100) that it's not worth it. |

Onyxgem10 don't wait go back asap! and have them check the site thoroughly! If there's an oozing or odour! Let a swab be taken for lab analysis! The fever you feel is a symptom of an infection, and could be fatal if not treated asap! God forbid it for you Na so my own start. |

faari:I used it for during my first 2months. But when I exhausted it, couldn't find it in pharmacies where I stay. The 2containers I used was sent to me from Abj. I guess pharmacies there stock it . I had to take pregnacare. Here in my town, pregnacare is readily available. There are some very goood brands of prenatals than the pregnacare we often hear about. But they are not available here in Nigeria. |

AlphaHandMaiden: MamaOO: There is the dating scan done at your booking which is usually at 6-8 weeks! To know your due date. Then the NT scan done at 11-13 weeks to know if there's a risk for downs syndrome. Another is the anomaly scan done between 18 and 20 weeks this is to check the growth, gender and see if all is well with the baby. Another is ordered at 30-33 weeks to determine the size and position of the baby. Hospital policies defer all over the world! My elder sis leaving in London did all the above for all her pregnancies, Whislt I only was scheduled for 3 scans here in naija but acutaly did 6 in total cos my baby was overdue and I became paranoid and kept requsting for scan to put my mind at ease |

Liftedhands:That might be true for the UK Sha. I'm not sure about that. But here in the US, Nuchal Transluscency scan and anomaly scan are done at the same time around 18-22 weeks. They do both at the same time, it usually comprises of 2-3 blood draws few weeks apart and then the NT anomaly ultrasound at the end of it all. Even at that, most insurances here in the US only covers 2 ultrasounds per pregnancy so if you want another one, you will pay out of pocket and that's an average of $100 or as high as $400 depending on your location. I had an OB appointment this morning, and I specifically asked my doctor if I will be getting an ultrasound to know baby's weight, he said no. So far you're not high risk, do not have GD, your fundal measurements are not above or below normal, You get an average of 2 ultrasounds and no ultrasound to check for baby's weight. Lol |

simplebukky:Good to hear from you. Sorry for the pains....July is gradually rounding up. We will be fine. I hope your are drinking enough water to help soften your stools so as to reduce pains when stooling. Constipation is the last thing you should have when having piles.

Liftedhands: Agreed, You sometimes get different services depending on the area you live and the individual hospitals. And they keep reviewing the advise so what the norm was a couple of years ago or even six months ago can be reviewed and changed this year. Not sure how long ago your sister had her last baby. When i questioned why only 2 scans, I was told, the extra scans were not deemed neccesary in a normal pregnancy, and although there is no concrete evidence to suggest multiple scans affects the baby, the current advise was to keep it to a minimum. In addition You also have about 6 or so visits to your midwife, but scans are not included. They only listen to baby's heart beat, measure your bump, do an optional weighing if they think you are putting on too much or not puttingnon enough and just a general chat about your general welbeing and advise session. After about 30 wks they start checking the position of the baby as well. However, if you are worried for whatever reason or maybe you are not feeling the baby move or you had a fall or whatever, you will ofcourse be given a scan. Although as na government hospital they have to book you into the system and that takes time. Except you go in through A &E. Most people go private for their additional scans or to do the 3D and 4D scan that they use to chop parents money! I ended up having about 6 or so for a variety of issues and needed monitoring by a consultant... lost count after the 4th one! Was so glad after i was "discharged" back to my mid wife and told i shouldn't need any more scans till birth. |
