afternoon everyone... I could just have googled this and read on my own but I want other mamas esp Preggy ones to learn from it .

so to the experienced moms, in simple terms.. (no use big grammar o)

pls explain Braxton Hicks
when it happens
why it happens
and any other info


thanks a bunch

When it happens - Starts around late 2nd trimester
Why it happens - It's your body practising for labour
Any other info - They are irregular painless contractions. You can usually walk through them .

Same with me. I've been feeling so weak with fluctuating headaches, bitter mouth and sometimes fever. I've ruled out malaria through blood test that came out negative. I'm 5 weeks plus, though I thought I was a week ahead initially, but the ultrasound says its 5 weeks. Dunno what to do about this tired feeling. as it is limiting me from doing lots of things.

mumz, congrats darling. may she always be a source of joy to u.
lamdec and all newbies welcome on board
halimatt, pls keep reciting thuma sabila yansarau. may G*d make it easy for u but i dnt subscribe to u being at home at 4cm. if u have another hospital, pls go there

meme5:

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.

Thank you very much. I am not asthmatic though I had bouts if bronchitis as a child. I also fumigated my house recently because of tiny roaches that won't let me be. I really didn't want to but those roaches were so embarrassing and would make even the cleanest woman look like a dirty housekeeper.

I'll see my doc as u have suggested. Thanks a lot

It's very normal to be tired and feel generally unwell. It happened to me and I routinely took days off or went home during work. Just take it easy. First tri is reputed to be the sensitive period. Don't stress and be prayerful. I'm shocked at your doc though. I started with ANC at 8 weeks and I get chastised if I miss an appointment.

The Lord is your strength.

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.

I was treated at d emergency unit, did all test

And also Threatened Miscarriage.

Av bin directed to see a Gyn for further treatment.

Mamas please rise nd pray for me not to loose pregnancy i beg u all.

Av crying nd praying ooo

God please wipe away my tears nd give me Testimony

@ slim4 bush, was also diagnosed gestational diabetes.
What diet are u on, doctors approval? All I was told to do was eat healthy and avoid sugar . How far gone are you. Though doctor didn't let me get to 40 weeks and was induced at 38 weeks due to diabetes

AwesomeGodiav, the Lord will perfect what He has done in your life. Just keep hope alive, stay focused on God it shall be well. Absolute rest is all ui need.

Slim4bush, just follow what Mamasy said and most importantly, watch what u eat. Eat green and fruit. U have nothing to worry about and u can also google it. Pele

@switgoody and mumz a big congratulations to u. God who has done this awesome miracle wil supply riches to cater to ur LOs n family.

@suzyt its normal. Ur baby is growin @awesome speed n pushing ur lungs n ribs upwards. Pls take gently breathes. Ders nothin much u can do. As d preggy continues ur tummy wil descend n u ll start breathin fine again.

@halimatt how r u? May God settle u. Frm 4cm no1 has d right to send u home contractions or not.

@mamasy inyanga pikin ℓσℓ u don already dey wear figure 8 dress? Dis wan u dey worry about ya tummy
BTW its ur uterus dat goes back to PRE-PREGGY size n it happens gradually n completed long b4 6weeks. If ur tummy is big its more of fat n stretched skin. It wil gradually go back. Kip breast feeding. It helps d uterus shrink faster. As for tummy fat n skin depends on ur genes. D hot water stuff I didn't do much jus a few days so I don't knw much about it

@imnuflawal its perfectly normal. Der is increased blood flow to dat are dats y. I hope u n Oga dey "do the DO"? It wil dampen d vibrations AsAP

@slim4bush I don de find dat ur Q tire. I can't read bak anymore. Pls follow ur doctors advice on diet n drugs. Ur diet is sooooooooo important. Also ur routine urinalysis check during antenatal. Gestational DM also has tendency for Big babies. D key is to av a control blood sugar cos dat wil really help to avoid complications on d baby n U. Pls always see ur doctor wen due, don't self medicate n I'm sure ur doctor wil discuss delivery options wit u once u r about 34 to 36weeks...@dat point ur baby is better out in a few weeks. Getting to 40weeks is not advisable to avoid exposure time to complications. Pls not to scare u or other mamas. Google wil tell u more. Be rest assured millions of women have it n go thru many preggy witout much hassels. May God help u.

*so help me God to pop in more to avoid missing Questions jare*

...zzzz sleep typing.....zzzzz

slim4bush:
Hello evryone,am new here am 13weeks and 5days pregnant and have gestational diabetes,wanna find out if anyone here is battling same thing,how are you coping and wat have u been doing differently,tho am in diet but stull wanna hearfrom pple that knw more abt it

Hello,

I also had diabetes in all of my pregnancies, the most important thing is to monitor your diet and limit your sugar/carbohydrate intake. So that means adhering to a diabetic diet throughout your pregnancy and after delivery until your blood sugars get back to a normal level. So you should avoid any fanta, malt and all those carbonized drinks that are high in sugar. Always choose the sugar free drink option. When selecting meal chooses limit the rice, white bread, yams etc. You should eat more meats (high in proteins) and vegetables (high in vitamins, minerals) and fruits because they are simple sugars.

agiboma:
@rezzy the symptoms you are describing are not normal. Go and see your OB.

Thank you so much, if i hadnt rushed to the hospital, the story would have been different. Im grateful
