i wonder y they shld send u bk. i m nt too comfortable wt dat. i think they shld induce d contractions. pls seek a 2nd opinion.

Im wondering the same thing. Why should they send you back? Please seek a second opinion or go back to the hospital. God is your strength. May He see you through.

God will see you tru and soon we are going to rejoice with you. Pregnant women and mothers in the house, how soon can one register for antenatal, I am 8 weeks gone and also please what kind of food is safe and unsafe at this stage although I don't have appetite for food, just fluids and garri dey always hungry me . Thank you people

@ tchiwinnie &Smashingm tanx for ur concern, i don't know what to do again. Am jus praying dat contraction should jus start on it own. Am feeling little abdominal pain and back pain now but is not strong.

That's crazy. I don't have contractions yet I dilate. I went from 2cm to10cm without kpim from me. The had to put drip when I got to 8cm so I can have a heavy contraction enough to push. I was gisting away. I think you should go back. Also take a 40mins walk. Don't just lie down, I know its hard to but it will speed things up

@halimattt, I tink u should do little exercise if u can, 2 kickstart ur contractions. I read some pple stay 4cm dilated even from 34weeks n will go into labor weeks/days later when contractions start. Mayb the hospital tinks u dont need induction to bring the contractions. Just pray, exercise n u can even seek a 2nd opinion from another hospital.

went 4 scan on Monday n d result came out as 34wks gone n edd being 1st week of DEC. fear griped me cos I know 4 sure I'm 37weeks + n due 2nd week in Nov. got back 2 my doc, did a tummy measurement n told me not 2 mind d scan, my baby was ova 36 weeks n God forbid baby stays in tummy till DEC.
went home, told hubby, he insulted sonographer dat he dsnt know his work, was still worried bt afta some assurance 4rm health section was a bit calm.
woke up yestdy morning, went 2 pee n noticed some brownish mucor. dis dint hapn wit my boy so I cold my doc, told me 2 come in 4 a check. got 2 d clinic @ past 7, my doc checked me n said I was 2cm n she cldnt feel ny water. told her my water was not broken but I was detained. during my son time, stayed in hospital for 4days cos of false labour, so I really felt dis was same n wanted 2 go home.
wen I saw dey won't let me go, cold mumsy, sent her 2 get labour room n oda few stuff I'd not bought. pinged n charted tryout yestdy.
some mins to 5am started feln a bit of pain after tossing all night, got up n started walking round room n doing d breathing technique (God bless d person dat suggested dis here), it worked 4 d little pain n contraction I was feln. later cldnt stop moving cos d contractions became faster n wld only stop 4 a while. went 2 take my birth @ past 7, was checked n was 7.5 cm. 10mins lata, felt like I want 2 pupu o, doc said time 2 push. contraction stopped me 4rm climbing bed. afta it subsided, I climbed, pushed wit d 1st contraction n shout, doc said no lazy o n don't shout just breath, second contraction, pushed hard n my 3kg princess came out @ exactly 38weeks, by 8.04am 2dy.
don't know bout nyting else, bt it was God all d way. far far easier dan I had wit my boy. so 2 all pushing mothers, just talk 2 God how u want it, He is ever faithful.
make una no vex say e 2 long, na happiness cos am. now na breast milk we dey pray 2 comot o, she don suck d breast like dat sleep 4 now. tanks 4 reading.

Big Congrats switgoody and mumZ.
God has been so good to us on this thread! Thank You Lord!! Kisses to ur LO's

U can start ANC now. U can read some pages back to get information. Most foods are okay. I think someone mentioned that uda is not safe, too much bitter kola & lime are also not safe. Start taking folic acid. Take enough fluids.

Hey all. Loving this forum and just joined. God bless you all and may we deliver our bundles of joy safely.

Tanx meme5, have been doing exercise, am 38weeks & 3days mayb dat is why dey don't want to induce me. About seeking a 2nd opinion from another hospital, i will discuss it with my hubby.

Pls go to baby centre to learn about breathing technique. Can't explain it well, google it.
MumZ congratulations. Sloppy kisses to lo. Meme5 get ready. Halimatt any news.

Slim4bush no vex, we all welcome you to this wonderful forum. Sabi mamas will come and give u info abt gestational diabetes. Welcome once again

tank u mamas 4 ur prayers. 4 d breathing technique, some1 mentioned it here, donatee or tchiwennie, can't remember. I googled it, started practising around 30 weeks or so. like lovinam said can't really explain, I know d in breath shld b shorter dan d out, den blow like whistle wen breathing out. u av 2 really try n stay calm, no panick breathing.
also moving fastens labour, instead of lying down or sitting. leaning forward, rocking hips 4wrd 2 help lo get in2 pushing position. all na goggle work o. bt it also takes d grace of God 2 remember all 1 read wen d day comes. d Lord ll c all pushing mamas tru, He alone is faithful.

@ halimah pls read ds link it's really important. Allah subhanna whaatallah will see us tru.?me still waiting at 39 wks plus.

Are u asthmatic? Am experiencing same at d moment n its making my exercise difficult but I used to b asthmatic n it cameup now as a result of fumigation dat was done in our house. I tink u should complain to your doc coz I plan to call my doc too. Medication will depend on hw severe, how old pregnancy is, n if u r actually asthmatic or wat is causing d breathing difficulty. So I suggest u see ur doc.

Congrats mumZ!thats one nice birth story u got there!!!
