Could anyone have even a single advice on the below?

Sabi mamas

Happy new year.
I am back at your desk o.

So, I have a history of recurrent miscarriages and had suffered a still birth in 2020.
God has successfully aided me to have a beautiful daughter in January, 2022, blessedly 2yr + now.

A year after I had her, I still had another miscarriage, this was in February, 2023. My concern now is, it has been over a year and I have not conceived again, medically termed barrenness.

I am not sure how to or what exactly to do.
My cycles are still very regular, and yet...

So I reached out to a general surgeon friend to advice me. I was hoping a hormonal profile test will be suggested but, he opined that since my periods are very regular, I should rather opt for HSG test and seminalysis for hubby.

Funny thing is, I have always read about the HSG test here by sabi mamas but on inquiry here in KUBWA, Abuja I realized it is as costly as 40k - HSG alone o 🤣

Walahi, e choke.

What do you all think?

Hi everyone,
I noticed my 3 months old baby has been pooing constantly like 2/3 times a day and it's green in color. She's on exclusive breastfeeding. Is it normal please. I'm a first time mum

I learnt from a Facebook page #askthepadeatrician that greenish poo is due to the baby getting only fore milk and no hind milk. What that means is that your baby is not feeding well - spends less than 20min on each breast. Your baby should spend more time on each breast in other to get both the fore milk and hind milk.

If the poo does sink completely into the diaper, then that should rule out diarrhoea or runny stomach.

Also they can poo 2 to 3 times daily or not at all for up to 1 or 2 weeks

So try breastfeeding better

Mommas, is it normal for baby to throw up after suckling, at intervals?

Esetim:


These are breast milk storage bags and they are available in most mothercare shops.

Please, do you know anyone in Abuja?

BS! BS! BS!

Finally I have the privilege to share my birth story.

For the privilege of testimony and thanksgiving, Quick throwback to 2018.

So I got married to DH in 2018 and before our white wedding, I experienced my first miscarriage. Like joke, I suffered recurrent first trimester miscarriages three different times, of course, Doctors cannot explain why this happens. Forward to Oct 2019, I conceived even when I was not planning. How did it end? I had IUFD at 9 months - 7th July, 2020 - accompanied with bleeding due to placenta abruptio. I was sectioned to deliver my beautiful baby girl but, then she was already lifeless. I was transfused 6 pints of blood to be alive today. Fast forward to 2021. I planned to take in, yes it was not accidental but, I was worried about the outcome. Really exhausted from miscarriages and disappointments. I remember saying that prayer, "God, if you won't grant me this honor, do not take me half way". If you have experienced evacuation as a woman, your prayers will almost be never to conceive than to miscarry along the way.

So the journey started in May, 2021. I prayed intentionally and I closely questioned every impossibility. My Dr. adviced me to do cyclogest treatment up to 20 weeks. But I am both stubborn physically and spiritually. So, I thought to myself, I did all the bed rest and progesterone treatment yet, I lost my baby to IUFD. Hubby was ready to embark on this journey at all cost but, I told him I was not doing any medical treatment except bed rest. He bought cyclogest and I personally called the pharmacy to return it and exchange it for prenatal vitamins. I encourage DH to meet me at the level of my faith. We prayed the prayers, had the bad dreams of course but we were determined to win this time.

Please, let me not be sounding like it was my capacity, No. God had me all the way because at the time I took in, I needed bed rest but, I am also a working class mum. I thought it through, then a program came up in my office that needed 2 months virtual participation, I was successfully selected to participate. Guys, see bed rest on a platter. LOL!
So, just before I finished the program, I was past my first trimester. Apart from the usual symptoms, I had no cause for alarm. Then I resumed work in my second trimester and everything continued to move well with lil anxiety here and there though.

Fast forward to this year, 2022. EDD was 14, Feb, 2022 - val things. I was excited, all of a sudden, my consultant started suggesting CS because of my medical history. I really struggled with this option. Not because CS was a big deal but because I always wanted to have the pleasure of jagina delivery too - all round experience - and a second time CS would mean a risk for jajina trial in the future.

Well, story cut short. I was told that 37 weeks it would be for me. I went home and prepared my mind. A week to my 37 weeks, consultant booked me for 29th Jan, 2022 - that is 38 weeks. I did not object. More time for me. I went home happily. A week to my 38 weeks, I visited and they insisted on admitting me and carrying out surgery the next day. Ah!!! Ogbeni is that how this butchering is easy for you people to mutter? Do you know how I have been adjusting psychologically? I refused o. Before they could gather in accordance to convince me, I packed my bag and ran home o without looking back. I called my mum and told her to start preparing for 29th is the date.

Finally, on 28th, I was supposed to check into the hospital against 29th but my spirit was cold. I simply stayed back and slept on my bed. Lol!!!
DH was just like, this my wife, please let us get this thing over with na. I said hubby, everything will be fine. That morning, we got to the hospital very early. We went to check in with the nurses that started giving attitudes as to why I did not come last night. I just said, I could not come but I have come now. After much drama, I asked them, do you want to cancel my booking and send me home? Lol!!!

Las las, they prepared my bed and dressed me up. Reality gradually started closing in on me. I started sleeping o. When they took me to the theater, I continued sleeping. Dr. came and tapped me saying, "I like the way you are just relaxed about this process. The only thing remaining in your disposition now is beer and fish". I laughed out loud and said, "Dr. CS it is and nothing else. So, let me be sleeping until we are ready".

Finally, in the order of Sarah, my laughter has come. My cute princess was birthed on the 29th of Jan, 2022. Everyone who heard me has been laughing with me.

Yours will also end in praise.

Take home
- mean it when you trust God. Don't doubt Him.
-still do your part because faith must be accompanied with work
-the baby that will stay will stay.
-know what your problem is and handle it. Mine was first trimester miscarriages.
-mums we are and children must come. So, remain +ve against all odds

Mamas plz where can I get breast milk expression pouch in Abuja?

@omakraid

Thank you so much for all the references.
I will try them out.

Omakraid:

Sorry for all the stress ma, the hospital is supposed to place her on light therapy. Why are they not doing that.. Also keep breastfeeding her so that as she poops the bilirubin will be clearing out. It us well with you ma

The Dr. said it is not too high that we should be doing early morning sun therapy but if after her 3 weeks and she is still showing high, we will have to do phototherapy in the hospital.

I am doing exclusive for her and poops each time she sucks but the texture of the poop doesn't seem ok to me. Always watery

We are fine Mama.
Growing gradually. Jaundice has been taking us to and fro the hospital though. 3 punches so far for baby blood sample collection and it hurts to see her cry each time.

A retest today gave a drop to 9.3

Can we just have the honor or resting. Let me know my wahala is only colic

Hi Mama.

Chat me - 08168318582

Thank you

Halcyon123:

Am interested in the play cot please if it is still available

Hello successful mother.

I am new here and I love the streams of healthy talks going all over.

Kindly advice plz. I noticed a clear mucous discharge - like raw egg albumen - from my 2 weeks old baby's vagina.

Is this normal?

Will this therapy still work now?
My baby can barely sleep because of colic

Pearl05:
This coconut water therapy for newborns is working ooo. I gave bobo the coconut water before he tasted breast milk.

Mumsy was wondering why bobo wasn't crying and wriggling due to colic as most infants I told her could be because of the coconut water I gave him first thing after birth.

Please our yet to birth mamas remember to try it as it will help you get enough sleep and rest.

Please how so I get this syrup and what does it look like?

sayoddy:
Congrats frances01, the child shall be a source of blessing. For the healing, take more of vitamin c fruits and supplements, confirm if you can sit on salt and dental solution.

For the colic, there's syrup for it. It'll continue till 3 months.

Team February, how's waddling? It shall end in praise.

EDD Feb 14
Delivered on the 29th of January.

Birth story loading.

Team February, I miss you guys.

Mommas, I greet o.

32 weeks gone and the way I feel so uncomfortable in my stomach lately makes me tired and teary at same.

Went for a scan lately be sure the regular movements, pressure and pains are normal and all was seen to be fine. Yet it can be so discomforting. I barely can lie down with ease these days. So much weight below my belly button and scan shows baby is just 1.7kg

God, I am already tired.

Layormiii:
Hello mamas,
So I have been taking progesterone injection since my 4th week and I am presently in week 12. And doctor told us the injection would last till week 12.
When I went for the last injection on Monday she said it was a mistake or so that the injection should be till 13th weeks and not week 12. Meaning I have an extral week to go plus 10k which I pay weekly. Over 100k(not complaining cos my baby is fine)

But honestly aside the injection being a very uncomfortable one , dropping 10k weekly is not funny atall. I don't want to take it. my husband is saying h won't pay. Please I need advice.

If u ask me, nothing will happen to you and your baby because of one left out injection.
I did progesterone for only 4 or five weeks. I stopped at 12 weeks as our finance was getting really pressed. I switched my faith completely to God. Carried baby to term but the dark spirit of stillbirth snatched her away.

I am 31 weeks gone now.
Doctor suggestions I did progesterone again for 10 times up to 16 weeks but, I went home and did nothing. In fact my hubby bought the drugs and I called the pharmacy to return if for prenatal drugs.

What I am saying in essence is, if u can no longer handle that cash burden, leave it. You and baby will be perfectly fine

kokaiye:
it depends on how many cs u ve done... Some mamas sef no even follow procedure, dey gt pregnant immediately n nothing happened to dem.

I have only done one CS last year July 7th, 2020 and before baby was brought out, she already passed on - blessed memory - placenta abruptio, they said.

My LMP was May 7th this year. I am 7 months gone and the doctor thinks I will have to undergo another CS with the reason that my LMP was too short - 10 months. Should be 15 months at least

Mothers,

After a cesarian birth, How long is adviced to wait before conception?
Any personal experiences should also share.

Thanks
