PREGNANT LADIES, BE CAREFUL- ASK DR. FAB
Hello Dear!
Hello There!
Hello Maโam!
Dear pregnant woman, please and please,avoid taking herbal concoctions of any form or taking drugs not prescribed for you by certified medical personnel during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester (first three months of pregnancy).
They (quacks!!!) will tell you if you take such concoctions, you will be strong and your babyโs bones will be strong as well. All nah lie, please!!!
Your balanced diet and haematinics (blood level boosting drugs prescribed by your doctor in pregnancy) suffice most times for your pregnancy, please.Donโt harm yourself and your unborn baby please!
Taking such might predispose your unborn baby(ies) to teratogenic (abnormal) effects such as these seen here and moreโฆ
Some could be genetically acquired too and some could be older age related(if you are within the age range of 35 years and above,consult your obstetrician for your best options of conception please).
This in here, involves amelia in upperlimbs and achondroplasia in lowerlimbs. Baby needs to be screened for other congenital anomalies and has been referred to a tertiary level healthcare facility for multidisciplinary approach, to involve orthopaedic surgeons, paediatricians, e.t.c.
The parents need a lot of supportive care in addition,especially the motherโฆ
Are you scared of getting pregnant or getting pregnant again?Please donโt be.Just ensure you do the needful.
There is an entity called Preconception Care which comes in handy for you,before you even get pregnant at all.Talk to your doctor on your concerns,please.
Best regards,
