i dont think its much . i am aware people take 1500mg a day to stabilize the pressure. i know someone who took 1500mg a day for all her 3 pregnancies with aspirin andif you se her kids, all came out chubby and fine . so you are good to go. Here in the Uk, they give you labatalol( am currently on 1200mg a day ) and advise you take baby aspirin 150mg a day. You can try and get a good blood pressure monitor. OMRON is a good brand and was confirmed ok by my specialist midwife when i showed her. The specialist midwife says the gains outweigh the negatives and its better to manage your pressure and secure the health of your child . also you can also help by juicing cucumber or eating them often daily to help you too . drink PLENTY water to flush off the medications . always ensure you take walks like 30 mins a day and try as much to rest and worry less. Also as often as possible , sleep on your left side. Also, always pray . commit all to God's hands . you would be fine . God has started it already, He would perfect it. Amen Pearl05: 9 Likes |

Good morning mamas, I am glad that I asked. Fortunately, it was the matron who attended to me today. She said she hosts classes every Friday in the morning. I also found out the price of CS and vaginal delivery. God bless you all. 3 Likes |

Hello mamas, Hope I'm welcome. I love this thread. I missed my last month's antenatal appointment due to the pandemic scare although I've been on pregnacare plus daily. Although I plan on going next week but still not sure. I've been seeing talks on anti-malaria although the obygyn hasnt prescribe for me. Should I be worried? I'm 23 weeks gone and my EDD is September 29th. Thanks 4 Likes |

Pearl05: I'm on the drugs too. My BP started rising even before I took in. 7 months after I had my son. So, I was asked to continue when I tested positive cos without taking it, my BP will just be rising like bread. I was even taking it with Nifedepine. Small but very hard drug. I complained about it giving me headache and more palpitations and I was asked to stop the Nifedepine and take only the Aldomet. I think Aldomet is pretty mild. My BP has been very ok for a while so, they asked me to reduce to just one tablet a day. I don't even take it everyday again, just once in a while if it is over 130. But I do check my BP at home every 2 to 3 days. For now, please do as they said and they will review it after 2 weeks cos BP in pregnancy is just not good. 1 Like |

MY BIRTH STORY. To the glory of God Almighty alone do I share this story. Thank God for the successful journey of 9 months and a supernatural child birth. I conceived my baby due to God's mercy. My LMP was on the 10th of August, 2019. I had been trying to conceive for some time to no avail. I underwent an eye surgery in September, 2019. I had no idea that I had conceived before that surgery. I was expecting AF and even wore sanitary towel to the theatre. Unknown to me that God had heard my cry for forgiveness. I was filled with so much joy and gratitude when I later realized that I was pregnant. My heart and prayers goes out to all GTC mothers all over the world. Despite, the fact that I have older children, It is heartbreaking to keep seeing your monthly flow when you are longing to conceive a baby. I pray that God will answer their prayers this month in Jesus' name. Amen. I went to register in a new hospital on Wednesday, 6th May, 2020 because the hospital that I had been using was sealed up due to a reported case of covid19. I was already 39 weeks gone and I was done and ready to meet my baby. I had a scan that day and as expected was given a very far EDD- 24th May as against 11th &13th of May. The sonographer had told me that my cervix was very closed to my dismay. I had resolved to eat a lot of pineapples or drink castor oil if I didn't fall into labour naturally. I was induced for my earlier pregnancy of my 3rd child, so I did not want to be induced this time around. However, God had something in stock for me. It all started on Thursday, 7th May, 2020. I hosted a zoom meeting @ 9:00am. After the meeting, I was juggling a lot on my hands and executing managerial functions while reporting to my boss. I had scheduled to host another meeting @ 1:50pm that same day, unknown to me that the meeting was not going to hold. At 11:30 am, (due to the pandemic, I work from home) I decided to catch some sleep before the next meeting. My husband who was also at home with me and our kids, also joined me in our bedroom while our older kids were going about their home work. With my DH beside me, I thought of using that avenue to make love to him in order to kick start something. I allowed him to stimulate my ripples which was a no go area throughout my pregnancy because they were quite sensitive. While we were at it, I felt some contractions. I tried to ignore them as I was savouring the moment. This continued until I could no longer bear them. I excused myself and went to the rest room where I had a seemingly unending urination and defecation. I kept checking with clean hands to see if I had lost my plug or something unusual was happening. I saw nothing strange. I just assumed that the contractions that I was having were braxton hicks because they were not regular nor consistent. After about 10 mins later, we could no longer continue with our game and we suspected that I was experiencing early labour. So I tried to eat something light and get some rest when I did not feel any contraction. When contractions came, they began to intensify and I kept changing labour positions like kneeling on my fours, squatting, standing with my legs apart, swaying my hips from side to side, etc. At 12:38pm, my boss called me yet again to discuss official matters after we had just chatted on Whatsapp. There and then, I told her that I was in early labour. She screamed and asked me to suspend all work immediately and prayed for me. I had yet another contraction during that call. I asked her to please postpone my zoom meeting till further notice. With work settled, I told my husband the contents of my hospital bags and we planned to head for the hospital immediately. Then, a very strong contraction came and I felt like going to toilet, my husband was right behind me and said we must leave the house after I had recovered from that contraction. Then, yet another strong contraction joined in quick succession, leaving me with little time to recover. Booah! My water broke right before my husband's eyes and he became worried, saying "Honey, your water has broken" then, I realised that I was almost at my peak. Things were happening so fast. With another contraction, I bore down asking my husband to pour water on me since we were in the bathroom. He did, but I needed more water, so I laid in the water and as he was trying to get me to stand up, he shouted" Honey see your baby's head!" My goodness! unbelievable! My baby's head? I felt a very strong urge to push and I started to push. My husband and I were all alone there. To say that he was perplexed is an understatement. He was wondering who he could call for help. Meanwhile, I was already pushing. He summoned courage to take the delivery of our baby. Mind you, he is not a doctor nor a medical worker, neither am I. He kept encouraging me to push and I held on to his arm and pushed with the help of God. To God's glory, our son was born at about 1:16pm before my scheduled meeting! I had earlier bought a pair of scissors for another purpose and I directed my husband to bring it and like a flash back, I remembered that I had read how to cut an umbilical cord somewhere stating that the cord should not be cut immediately but after the child had inhaled some oxygen which would make the cord turn light blue from white before it could be cut. God's leading and guidance was with us. We successfully cut the cord and called for help while we were at it. My husband could not clamp the cord initially because of panicking. So we joined hands together and God helped us. He sent nurses to our rescue. Who helped me to deliver the placenta and the afterbirth. All this while, my older children sensed what was happening and began to pray for me in the living room. When they told that I had put to birth, they turned the prayer session into praise and worship session, praising God for answered prayers. I have never seen my kids so grateful and elated as they were. God made me to deliver like the Hebrew women before the nurses could arrive. We have gone for routine checks and the doctors have certified us OK! This could only have been God!!! We are in awe. To all expectant mothers, quick and easy labour to you all. Healthy mothers and babies, rejoicing family in Jesus' name. Amen. To the awaiting mothers, your waiting is over from this month in Jesus' name. Amen. Thanks everyone for your congratulatory messages. God bless you all. Cc. Angeltolly and all priceless mums Birth testimony/ story submitted. 95 Likes 8 Shares |

[quote author=Pearl05 post=89865558]Hello mamas please help me. Was feeling massive headache for 2 days so I went to hospital to register for antenatal and it was discovered that my BP is high 140/80. I didn't had such through out the first pregnancy. Dr PRESCRIBED Aldomet 500mg tabs morning and night for 2 weeks. Please am scared about the dose which I told her that being the first time, wasn't it to too? I thought they will start with small dose and not jump to that high does at once. Dr said no that it's okay for me. Don't b scared dear just do what ur doc said and u will b fine, try as possible not 2 stress urself or think, drink lots of water, reduce ur carbs and salt intake. |
