SPINA BIFIDA
Dear Stella.Have been a BV for long and I comment as The General's sidechic.
I had a baby on the 10th of August.He had spina bifida,tho he has been operated on.Am so downcast and sad because of the Doctors report and information from google.If possible,please help me post,let me know if any mother has had this experience.
And I know God who is the Dr of all Drs is also a BV.I need prayers,advices and encouragement and I promise that when my child grows up normally,i will be back to testify.
Thanx ma'am.
Don't worry God has done it already.
ReplyDeleteSorry Dear,it was ur lack of folate or genetic predisposition that caused your baby that neural tube defect.
DeleteGod wil definitely heal ur baby and thank God u dint lose him after birth cos that's one of the risks.
For those who are pregnant or trying to conceive,make sure u take 400mg of folic acid,green leafy vegetables,orange juice,organ meats,breakfast cereals,milk and dried beans.
It is well with your baby and we pray Gods healing upon his life... All my 9 years waiting to conceive I was always taking folic acid....pls as soon as u get married and are sure u want kids just start taking folic acid or pregnancare supplements... U never know when pregnancy will come
DeleteEyaa..
ReplyDeleteSorry oh!...
I know absolutely nothing about this..
It is well..
When they tell you people to ensure you take folic acid while pregnant, you would say 'I don't like taking drugs or it makes me nauseous'.
ReplyDeleteI pray your child grows up to be fine too.
Godbless you for this your advice, buh still most won't understand the dangers of not taking 'folic acid'
Delete@ poster, was the surgery to fix 'Shunt' for him? (ie a bypass to remove excess fluid) I know someone the baby has SB and fixing shunt with regular massages worked.
Don't lose hope, he can still walk...be strong for your baby please
I hate when pple blame pple 4 things that cant be changed. This mother needs encouragement not blame. She is going through alot already. Jezz
DeleteDon't mind the anonymous idiot.... Can u confirm she is among this category of people who refused? Since u can't u should have just just shut. Learn to talk and not be judgemental...
DeleteOMG! OMG!!
ReplyDeleteSorry ma, God will perfect it for u. I will pray for u.
ReplyDeleteGod is your strength dear... Your child will grow to have a normal, healthy and long life..
ReplyDeleteDon't worry. God has already done it for you. Just continue to worship him with songs of praise and thanksgiving. Your child will grow up all right.
ReplyDeletePoster it is well. I pray d surgery is a success and your baby gets beta. Did u use Folic acid when u were pregnant? For the doctors, can this be detected via ultrasound? God will make it easy 4 u.
ReplyDeleteWhats spina bafida?
ReplyDelete*runs to Google*
*hangs leg in the cupboard*
First off I am sorry about your baby's prognosis. I don't know so much about d condition, but a girl in my school had smthn similar scolosis.
ReplyDeleteWhat I know is with these conditions d mild ones d kids still do very okay, but you need to observant with them having falls when playing, keep up with their doctors appointment.
The girl in my school was very normal, infact she was one of the most brilliant in the school. But she wore a back brace for a couple of hours a day, to keep the spine straight, she was going to have her own operation when she left secondary school to straighten the back. But these kids grow normally. So far it's not d advanced ones they need wheel chairs. This girl is now married with kids and doing fine.
Ps; abeg madam try and change that ur blog Id name. "general side-chick'. Let's try and always speak positivity into our lives, instead of such names. It may look like a joke, but always speak positivity with any name you bear somewhere, especially being a mother. I wish you and ur baby well.
Beds and roses sounding so senselessly stupid as always. What has her blog id got to do with her new baby ? Why are the children of all the leaders that looted this country for years not dead already?
DeleteChange begins with you! ☝
DeleteSpinal Bifida and Scoliosis are two different things. Poster please dont lose faith, do all the doctors tell you to do and make your physiotherapist your best friend.
DeleteMadam, don't be afraid. Almighty God will neva let you down. Your baby is healed already. God gave your family the child so that your family will have joy and that joy you must have. Just believe, it is well
ReplyDeleteSpina bifida what does that mean? Tho have seen grown up ladies , men that are have spinal disorder and bending to one side. It's that what it means?
ReplyDeleteBabe d least u could do was google it, who you kom dey ask? U for kuku no tok nah, just wish her baby well and move on. Abi you're blond?
DeleteChai, you are not nice o. She sounds blond though # just saying
DeleteNo, it is those that bend forward like arrow doing frog jump. Smh, mtsheeeeeeeeeew #Youcannotbethisstupid
DeleteDear BV I know how it feels like to be worried over one's child/children. Put ur trust in God, He will surely grant your child complete divine healing and you will certainly come and testify. It is well with you and your beautiful bundle of joy.
ReplyDeleteGod will heal him and he will grow up normal.
ReplyDeleteIt is well with you.
God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or think...its well with you and baby ma
ReplyDeleteOff to google to check out the meaning of spina bifida.
ReplyDeleteWhen pregnant pls dont joke eith your multivits and folic acid. Very important
ReplyDeleteIt is well with you and your child. God has perfected his healing in Jesus name. Amen!
ReplyDeleteDear poster,am in d same boat with u oooo.Have cried n cried n my tears are dried up.The irony is that am a nurse and I complied faithfully to my folic acid and d rest prenatal drugs.I love my child but atimes I feel like suffocating him.I ask mysef,if this child grows up and asks me,Mummy why can't I walk?Wat will be my response???
ReplyDeleteAnon 13:31 may the good Lord comfort you.
Delete😢. It is well with you sis. Keep a positive attitude.
DeleteNurse, my heart is broken for you. Pls be strong and you are in my prayers. My son has the same as well. Pls do your best to have a positive attitude. It will reflect on your child. Be strong. Poster too, I will try and reach out through Stella. And as for everybody blaming mothers experiencing this, shut ur trap if you can't pass your msg in a sensitive fashion. Also, the best prevention is prenatal folic acid not when you find out your pregnant.
DeleteGod will see you through madam.
Delete@Poster: Just trust God, and all will be well with your child. The number one cause of spina bifida is the lack of essential nutrients in pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. That's why it's always advised that women of conceivable age, starts taking vitamins, especially folic acid everyday. Folic acid also aids fertility too. It's well
ReplyDeleteGod will see you & your family through madam
ReplyDeleteOh Lord nd I've refused to take my drugs for 2 days nw.. " running to get dem right away"
ReplyDeleteGod will see you tru. Divine healing on your child in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteGod is in control...i pray he gets heal soon.
ReplyDeleteGod will heal him totally
ReplyDeleteThank u dear stella for posting.God bless u.
ReplyDeleteThank u dear stella for posting.God bless u.
ReplyDeleteTo all sisters of childbearing age,
DeleteThis is a plea. To prevent spinal bifida in your babies, take 1 folic acid tabs daily. Do not wait till you are pregnant first.I will explain.
The reason is because the (neural tube) brain + spinal cord will form at 3weeks after conception. At this time, most ladies do not even know they are pregnant.
By the time most women discover they are pregnant, the neural tube is probably closed and the spinal cord has formed, with or without spinal bifida
If there is no folic acid store in your body by 3weeks pregnancy time, the damage is already done.
Even though you take 10 folic acid tablets daily till delivery, it will not solve an existing problem of spinal bifida.but it can prevent low birth weight ..
Pleseer I beg you people.
God's capabilities are more than the doctors' .keep believing him.
DeleteI look forward to your success story,ma'am
Don't worry Raph will correct all deformations
ReplyDeleteMy dear d outcome depends on d type but since d surgery successful, we HP 4 d best . But be patient if he has delayed milestones
ReplyDeleteMay God heal your baby and make him whole again. By the way, poster are you in Lasuth BT cardio-neuro female? .
