hi everyone,

i promise to catch up a little later and read the post just wanted tto share what has happened to me since i last posted. I left the hospital on bp meds as my pressure was a little high. well i didnt feel right on monday so i checkd my bp it was 187/113 i took my meds and even doubled the dosage it did not go down, i called my DR she said go to the hospital and i did when i got their it went up further 202/130, they began to IV push meds into my system afraid i would have a stroke, heart attack or seizure at any moment. The med did not work enven maxed out on the dosage and my bp would not go down. Anyways they decided to do a cocktail of BP meds and it brought it down. Im sharing this because preeclamsia can happen up to 6 weeks after you deliver. I thank g-d im still here to share this story with you ladies and although my bp is not low right now it is still manageble and hopefully will be back to its original values soon enough and the meds im taking are helping out.

@idprincess, God is ur strength. He will surely replace ur loss with a better one, amin.

@Wendy,what a great testimony,i bless God for your life and the LO.Truly it can only be God almighty,we give Him all the praise.

Hi ladies. If princess, sincerely sorry about your loss. I started getting cramps Wednesday evening. By the next morning they had intensified so I went to the hospital. As soon as the nurse finished checking my vitals, I got up and instant led felt a warm gush down my legs. Well, I had a miscarriage. Had an evacuation same evening. This is my second miscarriage in 5 months. I will be going in for tests next week but I could use some advice from ladies in the house. Agiboma, your account scared me a bit, but its good to know you are feeling better. Thank God they were able to bring your bp down. All the best ladies, and a safe delivery to all the pregnant ladies.

My lovely sister,AudreyI,accept my sincere sympathy,God will give you double for this loss...I'm so so sad to hear this,it is well.Please take heart and be strong.

@ all,seems like we are all going through something this week. Well I have good news, cuz am counting it all joy. I went for my 36wks appointment and was told to go for a scan,my bp was very high also, I was told my baby is 4pounds, and they have to induce me immediately as my bp was affecting him. I called my hubby,2hrs later I was in labour after they broke my water, my labour was fast thank goodness,I reacted badly to the epidural,it didn't work(labour is so painful good lord)
After 5hrs and 3 painful push my boy came out crying and screaming, he is doing fine,in NICU. Breathing on its own and trying to eat.
I will be discharged today,but I and hubby live close to the hosp thank God. They said a few days time he will be discharged. He is so hairy, can't wait to start weaving his hair. Thanks to all and I wanna encourage those who lost their babies, God is on the throne. It is very well.

@audrey and I'd princess,I'm so sorry for ur loss,u nid to rest for a bit before u consider taking in again,ur body has gone thru a lot,av u checked to see if u ave fibroids,cos I kno its sometimes causes miscariages if its located in d wrong place,and also wen u take in again,try to reduce ur stress levels,hope ur job dosnt entail too much wakabouting,and get urself asomeone to help around d house,if u don't av alredy,u will be the proud mothers of children IJN,children are gifts from God,and his gifts maketh rich and add no sorrows,kip reminding urselves and God bout his promises and he will not fail u

hi everyone i am feeling better im on BP meds and although its still a little high its under control, until it goes back to normal.
@monie CONGRATS on your LO!!!! my son was born early and spent time in NICU so i am hoping for a very short uneventful stay for your LO. I also lived in Calgary for a bit until i moved back to Toronto to be closer to my family, its actually very nice out west. i am glad they caught it in time and LO is doing well, next pregnancy you just need to make you OB aware that you had high BP in the last pregnancy and possibly baby was IUGR because of it

@Audrey and ID princess I am sorry for you loss i also had losses this last pregnancy was my 5th pregnancy and i only have 2 living children to show for it, but g-d is good and ever faithful. How many weeks where you when you lost the pregnancies if you dont mind me asking, thats important cause it can give insight to what the potential problem is? It looks like your antnatal care next time needs to be focused around keeping the pregnancy viable and you need to discuss this with your OB. If its a first trimester losses have them check your progeesterone levels, also next pregnancy try to have them check your hcg levels are doubelling accordingly. Now if its a second trimester loss then thats a little more complex it could be cervix related and that can be monitured by doing frequent cervix checks next pregnancy. I know the frustration and heartach of loss, but let me tell you g-d will restore your sorrow and give you joy in abundance!!!!!! My sister dont dismay you will hold your baby in this lifetime! (((hugs))

@monie congrats o,werr we dey com chop rice

@tjskii nxt week we r throwing a small party in calgary canada,and then when I come nija the final one.
@agiboma my dear thanks ooo,he is ur LO? B4 my 36wks appointment have neva had any bp problems,so it was shocking to know I had it at all. I kinda knew my baby wld be small, until yestd that I had my baby ppl still didn't know I was pregnant, I was the only one feeling heavy. I am nt a food person,I neva had any cravings,I dnt like food, I struggled a lot. Kinda wished I was in nigeria sha,my mum wld have made all my favourites. He is doing well in NICU,he is so active,he doesn't eat much( am praying he is nothing like me foodwise).
Now am aware of this bp,will be very careful. Wish u were in calgary,we would have hooked up.kiss ur LO for me.

@tjskii, marygold and agiboma: thank you so much for the kind words. Both my miscarriages were in the first trimester. The first was 9weeks while the second was 11weeks. With the second there was neither fetal pole nor heartbeat but with the second there was both fetal pole and heartbeat. But what I find curious is that both times, the sonographer found some free fluid in my pelvis which he said indicates an infection. First time it was there, immediately after the evacuation it was gone, now there's fluid again. I plan on having some tests run. Meanwhile I would really appreciate it if anyone can refer me to a good gynecologist around egbeda or Ikeja. And for those who have a bit of experience with miscarriages, what tests should I have? Thanks a lot everyone. Congratulations monie!

@tjskii: there were no fibroids detected. I find this whole thing weird because I conceived my first child without issues immediately after I got married, and the pregnancy was uneventful and without complications. Anyway I'm trying to stay positive about it all knowing that once he problem is detected and solved, I will have another baby.

Congrats Monie!!there is nothing like going with your price after this dreary journey.God bless you and your little one.

@Audrey,so sorry for your loss.I have had two myself but I couldn't bother with tests because I already have two liVing babies.May the lord replace your loss,your child will come to stay.

@byvan thanks, our God is awesome

To really understand the feeling of acheivemnt of having a term baby i must first share teh birth of my son who was born very early in 2010. After many weeks of hospital bedrest and being diagnoised with preeclamsia, gestational diabetes and Incompetent cervix it had all come to a fitting conclusion on July 14, 2010 when i went into labor and the decision was made not to stop it because of all the complications i was facing. I was terrified of having my baby so early the neonatologist came in told me he had a 70% chance of making it, i burst into tears at this and was so incredibly upset.
A few hours later I gave birth to my son , when he was born their was no crying, he was taken away i did not see him so the neonate team can start to work on him after 5 minutes my sister went to see him and she said he was breathing with the ventilator. I got to see him a few hours later and he was the smallest thing i have ever seen, i cried i felt like such a failor seeing him suffer and not being able to carry him to term. Our NICU stay was 3 months filled with ups and downs @ 31 weeks he had surgery and that was very difficult time also. Finally around his due date in October 29, 2010 he was released and we went home to start our lives as a family. Today he is a happy and healthy 32 month old.
Fast forward to MArch 2013 and the birth of my little girl at 38 weeks. It was a scheduled csection and my pregnancy with my little girl was very uneventlful till the end. We got to the hospital at 6:30am for a 8:00 am scheduled csection was a little nervous but excited to have a full term baby and take a baby home this time around. The section went well when they advised i will feel pressure i certainly did and the next moment i herd my little girl screaming, i could not beleive it felt like a movie OMG i had a baby and herd its cry, it was so magical and wonderful at that moment my dream of carrying a child to term came true, it was wonderful and amazing. Her apgars where perfect, i got to hold her and see her right way it was all so great. I recovered well and was sent home a few days later only to return to the hospital as my blood pressure went up and was diagnoised woth post partum preeclamsia, im back home now recovering. I know this is very long but thanks for reading.
