Depends on the number of weeks you’re in and the airline. But most naija airlines specify 28 wks. I got a fit to fly letter from my doctor and presented to arik some weeks back though they bounced me reason being that my doc specified 35 wks on the letter. I had to do get another letter from a clinic in MM2 which cost me 5k. I had to backdate to 28wks and then I booked another flight with another airline. Not a good experience I must say. So I’ll advice you get the fit to fly from a clinic the hospital will recognise to save yourself the stress.

Wow. I can imagine the stress they put you through. Mine was 32weeks but the flight attendant insisted they calculate it with +/- 2weeks. So I might be 34weeks which is above their limit. Local flights really take this thing very serious, probably because they don't have medical personnel onboard their flights incase sth happens.

Sorry for late bs

May2016: After the birth of my daughter(was a member here with diff already deactivated moniker). I told myself I won't try again till 2018(like some 2020 mama's already in 2018 tongue
May/June 2017: Found out I was pregnant, was really angry. Team February 2018, was cappo. Had all the hellish ms even heartburn.
Last week of June 2017: Woke up was bleeding heavily, blighted ovum, evacuated the next day. Why go through ms, heartburn, evacuation pains e.t.c and still loose the baby, lemme kukuma carry the belle and born na.
I followed up TTC thread, read and read.
September 2017: period delayed for 3/4days but later came on 28
October 2017: BFP, shared WIDD on TTC thread cos I learnt from there.

Pregnancy/Delivery

Pregnancy journey wasn't all that smooth but it was manageable. Had ms, high libido, body pains, excess urinating, purging, painful BH, black spots on my laps and tiger claws on my tummy. Was even stressed almost depressed.
Scan date started shifting from 16/17weeks to June but I was still working with my Lmp.
32weeks: Had a painful contraction and was even purging. Was given an injection, doctor told me to watch what I eat.
35+/36weeks: Started loosing Mplug, refused to be checked if I'm dilating.
37weeks according to lmp(14/06/2018): 39weeks according to the scan I did on Tuesday, baby's head measuring 40wks. Ate Queens pineapple on Wednesday afternoon, moved my hips on fours in the night.
Woke up to prepare my daughter's food that she'll take to school. Was frying Irish potatoes when I felt a liquid something on my lap, went to loo and checked it was blood, called DH and showed him. Told him that is my show and that he'll meet his son today(my potatoes still dy fire). Poured my burnt offering away, fried another. Prepared my daughter when the day broke, took her to school(trekked to and fro) and trekked to hospital on my way back(don't try it if you're already contracting).
I explained everything to my doctor who sent me upstairs to be checked and I was already 2cm dilated and other doc/nurse sig they wrote on the paper the nurse gave me to give the doc. He later suggested a membrane sweep which he did around 11/11:30am.
2pm: was checked and was 4cm. Doc induced me with CY and FBC(fear of ban is the beginning of abb drugs). Was having a normal cramps which was manageable. (maybe cos I'm team painful menstruation)
Hubby came, told them to give me drugs(injection) that will help to ripen the cervix faster(they did it for my daughter) but they refused.
I refused to walk around can't come and start suffering early (don't be like me).
5pm: left the room to buy something and eat, was still climbing down the stairs when I heard a pumm sound from down, felt a liquid something on my left lap, rushed up, checked and it was blood. Called the nurse, she checked me and told me she don't know where the blood was coming from. She later called the doctor, who removed the catheter, inserted his hands, placed a nightingale under me and started bringing out lumpy stretchy blood. He told me that I'm having a heavy bloody show and I should not panic. He checked me and I was still 4cm dilated.
7pm: The contraction was painful but no longer pressing phone manageable. I didn't time it but I was breathing with my mouth whenever it comes.
8pm : Was checked again, was still 4cm dilated. I asked the nurse how manage? How? Why am I not progressing? Why am I having this kind of pains but not progressing? I climbed down from the delivery bed, knelt down and cried, told God that he didn't bring me this far to leave me, for how long will I continue managing this pain?
The nurse told me she'll help me, gave me IN injection for ripening of cervix on my bum. The contraction came back to back few min after the injection, she told me to lay on my left cos doc advised me not to walk around again to avoid bleeding.
They need to arrest the person that started the rumor that after first delivery the pain will be mild in other ones. Lieesssss!! The pain was painful that hubby started complaining, begging them to give me a pain relief. I felt cold, the nurse injected me, few mins later I started feeling very weak that I was begging the nurse and my hubby to allow me to sleep small but they refused instead she inserted the drip to give me energy. I begged nurse to break my water, she told me I should allow it to bulge well. I tried breathing, I cried, I slapped hubby and my cousin that was there with me, I was even bitting the pillow to hold the scream from escaping.
10pm : I told nurse that I want to poo, that I don't want to cross over to Friday, that she should break my water. That my water don't break on it's own. She said I should confess positively that God will do it.
Me : Nurse I know myself very well, I'm very weak now, lemme have strength to push this baby. Please save me and break the water, please. I believe in God but heaven help those who help themselves.
She later broke the water, I kept begging her to allow me to sleep but she still refused.
Told her I want to poo and vomit, she injected something inside my drip and told me to push in the next contraction. I vomited everywhere instead of pushing, she told me to try again in the next contraction. With one push, my son came out screaming his lungs out at 11:52pm. I said thank you Jesus, closed my eyes and the nurse gave me a slap on my lap, warned me not to close my eyes till I walk into mother&child room. Placenta was delivered, cleaned up and was stitched up.
Sunday : was discharged, stitch broke down. Returned to hospital and doc told me to come back on Thursday. Wasn't restitched again, healing perfectly on my own.
Cord fell off on the 3rd day, circumcision done(gomco method), first immunisation received. Weighed 3kg
Thanks mummy Zaynie for the vit c advice, it helped. Thanks VivyGift for taking up cappo role, I'll surely help out when I've time. Thanks for all the mentions and likes, God bless and safe delivery to remaining mama's.

@docnneji,
What causes baby to measure ahead of lmp?
If baby measures 40 weeks at 36 or 37 weeks without any labour signs, is cs the only option? Can't vaginal delivery be used ?

How can one reduce fetal size if baby measures 4kg at 37 weeks?
Re: Pregnancy Are You Pregnant Or Going Through A High Risk Pregnancy,,lets Talk by mamatwiny(f): 5:22pm On Jun 22, 2018
Apart from rubbing the back, what other 'palliatives' can be used to reduce labour pain?

Hello there, it seems I’m really loving this thread. Would also like to add to the discussion here by helping out mothers and wifes here in my own way.

During time of conception to child birth, most mothers suffer several challenges while giving birth. One of the many factors include staying healthy and fit during pregnancy. —> https://goodsex.com.ng/steps-healthier-pregnancy/

Why is this important? Well, did you know that the mother’s health can better influence as well as affect the child’ health? Yes it can. It can also tell on how well they child delivery goes. So please if you’re a mom, I recommend you read this—> https://goodsex.com.ng/steps-healthier-pregnancy/

Wish you luck and success while you all put to birth your own bundle of joy, cheers. smiley

Pls Sabi mamas, apart from hospital bag, what are the things that are expected to be in our on personal bag?
Make una help me shuk mouth for my matter, let me see if I can pack my bag today that laziness is far from me.
You can also add
*Lip balm/ makeup
*Snacks and drinks for after labour ( the hunger that strikes after baby is out is something else)
*Charger
*Big panties
*Peri bottle or any other plastic bottle with holes at the top. After VD, you spray warm water as you pee ( peeing after VD + tear can be painful ) this helps relieve the pain plus speeds up healing.
*soap, deodorant etc
*comfy clothes to go home.
* sanitary pad
* wet wipes for your bum ( water is best, but just in case)
Just think of anything that will make your hospital stay comfortable.

Prepared my daughter when the day broke, took her to school(trekked to and fro) and trekked to hospital on my way back(don't try it if you're already contracting).
I explained everything to my doctor who sent me upstairs to be checked and I was already 2cm dilated and other doc/nurse sig they wrote on the paper the nurse gave me to give the doc. He later suggested a membrane sweep which he did around 11/11:30am.
2pm: was checked and was 4cm. Doc induced me with CY and FBC(fear of ban is the beginning of abb drugs). Was having a normal cramps which was manageable. (maybe cos I'm team painful menstruation)
Hubby came told them to give me drugs(injection) that will help to ripen the cervix faster(they did it for my daughter) but they refused.
I refused to walk around can't come and start suffering early (don't be like me).
5pm: left the room to buy something and eat, was still climbing down the stairs when I heard a pumm sound from down, felt a liquid something on my left lap, rushed up, checked and it was blood. Called the nurse, she checked me and told me she don't know where the blood was coming from. She later called the doctor, who removed the catheter, inserted his hands, placed a nightingale under me and started bringing out lumpy stretchy blood. He told me that I'm having a heavy bloody show and I should not panick. He checked me and I was still 4cm dilated.
7pm: The contraction was painful but no longer pressing phone manageable. I didn't time it but I was breathing with my mouth whenever it comes.
8pm: Was checked again, was still 4cm dilated. I asked the nurse how manage? How? Why am I not progressing? Why am I having this kind of pains but not progressing? I climbed down from the delivery bed, knelt down and cried, told God that he didn't bring me this far to leave me, for how long will I continue managing this pain?
The nurse told me she'll help me, gave me IN injection for ripening of cervix on my bum. The contraction came back to back few min after the injection, she told me to lay on my left cos doc advised me not to walk around again to avoid bleeding.
They need to arrest the person that started the rumor that after first delivery the pain will be mild in other ones. Lieesssss!! The pain was painful that hubby started complaining, begging them to give me a pain relief. I felt cold, the nurse injected me, few mins later I started feeling very weak that I was begging the nurse and my hubby to allow me to sleep small but they refused instead she inserted the drip to give me energy. I begged nurse to break my water, she told me I should allow it to bulge well. I tried breathing, I cried, I slapped hubby and my cousin that was there with me, I was even bitting the pillow to hold the scream from escaping.
10pm: I told nurse that I want to poo, that I don't want to cross over to Friday, that she should break my water. That my water don't break on it's own. She said I should confess positively that God will do it.
Me: Nurse I know myself very well, I'm very weak now, lemme have strength to push this baby. Please save me and break the water, please. I believe in God but heaven help those who help themselves.
She later broke the water, I kept begging her to allow me to sleep but she still refused.
Told her I want to poo and vomit, she injected something inside my drip and told me to push in the next contraction. I vomited everywhere instead of pushing, she told me to try again in the next contraction. With one push, my son came out screaming his lungs out at 11:52pm. I said thank you Jesus, closed my eyes and the nurse gave me a slap on my lap, warned me not to close my eyes till I walk into mother&child room. Placenta was delivered, cleaned up and was stitched up.
Sunday: was discharged, stitch broke down. Returned to hospital and doc told me to come back on Thursday. Wasn't restitched again, healing perfectly on my own.
Cord has fallen off on the 3rd day, circumcision done(gomco method), first immunisation received.
Thanks mummy Zaynie for the vit c advice, it helped. Thanks VivyGift for taking up cappo role, I'll surely help out when I've time. Thanks for all the mentions and likes, God bless and safe delivery to remaining mama's.
