Good evening mummies n mummies in the making.

I need some advice or confirmation. I am 9 weeks along and been having this crazy headache on & off , and being so tired a lot.

I went to hospital this morning (not started antenatal) to see Dr and ran some tests. He said I had malaria 1+. I was given chloroquine, piriton & paracetamol for 3 days. asked him about its safety for mum n baby and he said it's fine that malaria can't be left untreated.

My concern o, I thought treating malaria is not advised in first trimester for safety reasons except if v v necessary. Please advise me on if I can go ahead with the drugs or just wait a few weeks more.

The headache doesn't interrupt my daily activities except that days I have it, I try to sleep earlier. Its been this way for 2/3 weeks now. Tiredness was one of first symptoms. Besides those feelings, I am doing just fine.

Your doctor is right, chloroquine can be taken in pregnancy, piriton is in case of allergy from the chloroquine.

Hello house,
Can someone help me out here. It's my first preg, and I'm in my 8th week.
I have not been taking any pre natal vitamins or folic acid, I couldn't stand it as the smell of any drug just upsets my system.
Plus my mouth is bitter and I feel like there's something in my throat refusing to go down.
Is it okay for my baby if I don't take any pre vitamins at least for now? biko

Congratulations and welcome sis!

Please try taking folic acid as it helps in the formation of the fetus....

You can also try eating loads and loads of vegetables and fruits.

And I will advice you start antenatal so that you can be monitored by your doctor and you can also relate your concerns to him too!

Other sabi mamas go chook mouth.

Once again, welcome and happy bumping!

Good evening mamas,
Thanks for the mention beyedew. May your testimony be permanent.
Team November how body? It's well with our souls.
Walking these days is something else. It comes with plenty Braxton Hicks, that I feel am going to pop out soon.
Supernatural delivery to us all.
May God Almighty go before us during the appointed time of delivery and take control of all medical personnel on duty.

Welcome Ma and wish you stress free pregnancy.

Malaria isn't good in pregnancy but I don't think 1+ is soo bad. I had a similar case in my first but didn't take d drug till second trimester. A regular Dr prescribed the drug (can't remember the name) but when I met a gynaecologist I was told not to take it that d malaria wasnt much.

And I don't know how safe paracetamol is in first trimester. I would advise you register n see a gynaecologist if it was a regular Dr you met and try to rest a lot.

Other Mama's can correct or add some things

I am not sure what is safe or not but my doctor wouldn't give me any meds for headache or malaria till after 1st trimester. You could try home remedies for headache (sleep and use damp warm towel on ur head and necm).
If the malaria isn't bad, leave it till after 13weeks. And ive heard from different OBs that paracetamol is not good for pregnancy.
I suffer from migraine which gets worse once I'm pregnant but I endure it the first 3months for the sake of the unborn. Right now I use wipes warmer to warm up wet towels, one on my forehead and the other on my neck. I'm 9weeks+ as well.
All the best.

Vitamins is majorly necessary in the 1st trimester especially folic acid. I'm not sure if there's any problem with u not taking it, but folic like I said is quote necessary in this stage. Try taking ur vitamins in between food...that helped me till I got used to it.
All the best.

Please take the folic acid o, it's extremely important in the first trimester for formation of the baby's brain and nervous system.
It's very risky to brain development if not taken, especially for older moms.
