Towerofgrace:


if you are in Nigeria, ask your Dr about the routine malaria preventive drug. It is in tablet form routinely given 1ce in 4 weeks mostly starting between 16weeks - 18weeks or even at 20weeks but definitely after you start having quickening, it is to prevent malaria in pregnancy, i use both govt and private hospital and they both take it very seriously.

it is not same as TT vaccine

Bennytwin:


Please what is the name of ur electric pump dear? Thanks

Evenflo electric pump.

Omakraid:

I tell you oo, plugging the pump to the breast always get me thinking. Maybe that's why many mums buy manual as naija light no steady (fluctuations up and down) . If the thing has battery it will be very good ooo

Some come with the option of using either battery or electricity.

Funky123:


My ANC check BP, weight, blood, urine, protein in urine too, the doctors measure the tommy(they always have taperule) and one other thing they put in the tommy to check baby heartbeat

My hospital do all the necessary test on the first day. Subsequent months, they only check weight and BP and carry out a scan. I still go because it is an opportunity to go to work late and just lazy around.

MGeey:

Oh, thank you ma

Evenflo electric pump.

Does it use battery or electricity or has both options and how does it feel when pumping while plugged to light?

You are very welcome ma, safe delivery to us all.

Omakraid:

Nawa oo, different strokes for different folks. It is well with us all

Seriously. Before to take one orange is war. Now I can take it only for dinner. It helps with constipation which is a huge bonus coz that thing can be a b*tch!

.Why now
I'm hoping for team mates. Also July 6, but going by history more likely to be late June. Still undecided here

Preciousppearl:
here I am forcing myself to take fruits and vegetables which normally I could live on but pregnancy changed it for me.thankfully I don't react to my routine drugs. God will see us through.

By His grace. After two journeys, ii learnt the hard way not to even try drugs.
Las las, the end goal is to have healthy babies.

Richwifey:

Hi dear, if its done by an expert sonographer, in a good scan center/hospital with updated machine. Then, it can’t be wrong.
However, u can go for another scan elsewhere just to confirm.
God will grant ur Heart Desire.

Amen. Thanks

Omakraid:

Under pressure ke? Please don't pressurize yourself oo. If the scan was done by an expert, you don't need to be afraid. Better still, go to another place and redo it, you can even ask the sono to show you the genitals... To cap it all, many did several scans at several places and eventually had a different sex, that is to show God supremacy, so God's will should exceed all

Thanks ma

Thanks for your detailed responses. I'll still bring it up with my OB and hear what she has to say. They have been pushing me to get the flu vaccine too and I was told I might feel COVID vaccine reactions for like 1 or 2 days. These pregnancy symptoms are overbearing enough and i don't want any additional reactions, abeg. I had COVID vaccine in my first trimester and I practically cried from the "sick feeling" the next day. Not again.

kokaiye:
which country are u? I didnt get it in uk too... Wen i ask my midwife she said they dont ister it, she asked y i asked abt TT injection, told her i had it wit my first in Nigeria, she den said people dont get tetanus in uk so dey hv no reason to b given it.... The only injectn i get is flu and whooping cough vaccine n as usual disturbing me to tk d covid vaccine but not gonna tk dt until after baby arrive

Orlolahdey:
TT injection means Tetanus shot nd u were suppose to take d first shot at 24weeks while d second shot a month after,then d next after will be 6months after d second shot, forth shot will be 6mths after d third one.. it's must sha be 5 shots nd if u were able to take all d 5shots before another pregnancy occurs u don't need to retake them but assuming you took just 2or 3 nd another pregnancy occurs u will start from scratch. This is d best i can say about it as a FTM that I am

Ah, i will wait for our cappo to come , I'm sure she is still resting

It doesn't pump much milk and it's stressful using it.

impeccablerose:
Good days mamas.
Please for those in late second trimester / early third trimester, has anyone taken the TT injection?
If no, at what point is one supposed to get it?
My Doctor in Nigeria mentioned it twice but my OB here has not said anything about it. I intend to ask her during my next visit.

Hi,mama. I got DPT(TT) @ 27weeks here in Ca. You cant get it earlier than 27-32weeks. The ob/gyn will mention it when next you see.

Modified: if she doesnt,please ask. Ask and ask questions. There's no perfect healthcare system anywhere. You hear medical rules that are soo 'irritating' here

Manual breastpump abort mission! I repeat abort mission especially if you have massive brezz. Its tiring and makes a mess- from my personal experience

Hi,mamas
Abeg o; i need help.
I've been having show since Sunday. Last VE says I'm 2cm dilated. I have done squats( greatest mistake in recent time), danced small....no labor progress. I dont have that Yoga ball(the 'ijebu' trait and laziness to be blamed here).
Cant take a walk lest i fall.
Is there any other thing i can do? I've been sooo down..I'm 39weeks gone today.
I'd really appreciate any other suggestion. Thanks in advance.

For the manual /electric brezz pump matter, let's look at these examples,
blowing lots of balloons by mouth VS blowing all the balloons by electric pump,
OR
Blowing up a whole ram by mouth VS letting vulganizer pump air into the ram,
OR
Blowing up a tire with manual pump VS letting vulganizer pump air into the ram,
OR
Travelling by road to Abuja VS taking a flight
OR
Counting million notes by hand VS using a counting machine

Bottom line is manual breast pump works oo, but the stress ehn, you will achieve more in same or lesser time with less stress/effort when you use electric pump. My sis had carpal tunnel syndrome when she had her baby and she was using manual pump, imagine the horror.

Anyways you gerit, if you don't gerrit, forget about it
