False labour I guess, or called Braxton hicks that's if it comes and goes on its own

@Kimoni, thanks a lot. So there is no cause for alarm?

Eumaca:
@Kimoni, thanks a lot. So there is no cause for alarm?

No, none at all. It's just a way of nature getting your body prepared for true labour.

Morning mamas in the house, since d miscarriage, I'm yet to See my period which led me to doing home pt yesterday. And I saw two lines though the 2nd still faint. Could it be hormones frm d last preg(now 36days after d mc) or another pregnancy?

Congrats ooo! Any second line is a LINE! Dats hw d tin gave me sleepless nights. I tested at 12dpo saw faint line on dollar tree store $1 test... by 15dpo did all this our N50, it sed negative. l I went for blood test wen I was going bonkers! Was a mega +!

You are def preggo!!! Yay!

Eumaca:
@Kimoni, thanks a lot. So there is no cause for alarm?

It may b labor tho, since u re close to term. Braxton hicks isnt painfl, its just like 'hardening' of ur tummy. Time wot u re feeling, is it painful, is it regular? Let us kno ow it goes. cheers

Hey everyone, i had my baby on the 10th of Feb,he's the cutest ever and i cant take my eyes off him. God is so good to me so pls join me in praising him![/quote]

Yh,been busy trying to adapt to the new found job. Birth story here.
I am a ftm n gave birth on Tue at 38weeks 3days. At my 36weeks Dr's appointment,my Dr did an internal exam for me and said i was 2cm dilated and 60-70% effaced, he was also able to feel my baby's head and told me my baby had lots of hair on his head,lol(that got me blushing) I was happy about this cos my last scan at 32 weeks says my baby was breech n i came here to ask questions about that then. I had diarrhoea all through Sunday and on Monday i felt better, i normally go for a walk everyday and on Monday i walked to and fro a grocery store at about 2pm. I ate and was just watching a prog on TV when i felt little water trickle out of me. I went to the toilet to chk n saw that my underwear was a little wet,i cleaned up n went back to the watching TV. This trickling continued but it was always like a teaspoon at a time so i didnt think of it as my water breaking. I had dinner and about 8pm,i had a pop sound n felt lots of water come down so i ran to the rest room, i knew at that point that my water had broken, i checked the colour and it had some green colour,i became scared immediately cos of the many stuffs i have heard about baby pooping inside mother n all. At that time i wasnt having any form of contractions so i was torn between waiting till contractions start so i wont be sent back home or to go to the hosp cos of the green colour. My hospital was like an hour drive from the house so u can imagine my dilemma. I rang the hospital to tell them i think my water just broke n they insisted i should come in immediately. I went to take a shower and then the contractions started,i packed my hospital bag and got to the hospital at 10:30pm,by the time i got to the hospital,the contractions ve become much. I went to the emergency section and was made to reg and sign some forms,this went on till like 11pm when i was admitted,right dre at the registration area, i requested for a sick bowl and threw up twice. A nurse checked and said i was 4cm dilated but she didnt feel baby's head,that what she touched feels like his tongue or something, she called on another nurse to verify and she said i was already 6cm dilated and that what she touched was definitely the baby's bottom,that was about 11:30pm,they immediately called my Dr and he said i needed to ve a CS for the good of baby and I. I reminded him that he told me that he touched my baby's head at my last appointment and he just smiled and said that my baby just decided to go back breech and we cant question God.I asked him if we can give baby some time and see if he ll turn head down before i reached 10cm but he said he cant take any chances with the rate at which i was progressing. The whole process was explained to me and i was made to sign more papers then immediately wheeled to the theatre. The surgery lasted for like 15-20mins with me being awake all through but didnt feel anything. My baby was brought out at 12:20am,Tue 10th Feb,2015. I am most grateful to God as i port into this next phase. Na real vigilante o, baby is awake all through the night and he has only two duties, that is, sleeping and eating. May God make it easy for everyone of us o.

Thank God u n baby re safe n in gud shape...I wish u quick recovery. Amen 2 ur prayer

Mama's gudmorning o abeg I get question,last night some hrs after eating I started having serious stomach pain,the pain was so serious that I started stooling and couldn't get up cos I was dizzy,i was so scared husby had to go and look for ors solution for me that night,i was so weak and the pain continued but am ok now,abeg una get idea watin cause am,all thru my baby was moving seriously,am 29wks and some days

@customised87 - congrats dear. Man proposes, God disposes. The most important thing is that you and ur baby are fine. God bless our little angel and kisses to him.



Once the water breaks, even if there are no contractions yet, one should proceed to the hospital immediately cuz the risk of infection to the baby is quite high at that point as the sac is now open.

Nothing to be scared about. According to some research, stem cells from the baby actually aids in your healing process, in some women your scar heals in abut 5 days. Here is my experience, although I lost the preemies..

I had an emergency CS in Sept last year, it lasted about 30 mins, I was out for about an hour cos I was under general anesthetics due to complications. I woke up to excruciating pains, which reduces if you don't use a pillow, you have to lie flat on ur back. By evening, you will be expected to start walking around to prevent DVT or blood clot in the legs. While you are on pain killers d pain numbs to like tummy ache after doing sit ups.

You are advised to take things very easy. My stitches came out and d site was completely closed in 5 days. Everyday, you have to clean the area with spirit twice a day. You go chop antibiotics tie, like it is candy! lol
Always clean the have a hot water bottle on ur belly, especially to sleep, it helps with the pain. No housework, nothing! Only feed the baby, for at least 2 weeks!! If possible more!
