I greet you All my Sisters and mothers. ...it's been a wonderful journey so far. It may not have been completely perfect but there have been abundant reasons to be thankful to God who has done exceedingly well to bring us this far.....of course he didn't bring us this far to abandon us but rather to see us to the end of this journey successfully. ..so we will depend on him to the VERY END!
He has done it already for some of us ...mompurity2, udoomama and ijeomaobi1 ...we celebrate with them!

We should all be in week 37, 38, 39 and some approaching week 40 already....that means any of us can have our babies at any time from now,(babies are considered term from 37weeks) so we should all be ready. ..mum and baby essentials at least for the first 1month bought already. Baby should have been head down by now to increase our chances at trying a VD. ..

We will do our best to cooperate with our Doctor's and midwives as much as possible while we continuously pray for the best team to be with us on that day! When not sure of a suggestion by a Doctor or midwife , don't hesitate to come here to weigh the suggestions so as to be better guided.
Our goal has been mother alive, baby alive and father rejoicing. ...so whatever measures need to be taken to make that possible should be fully supported(CS included) ...
Please start your walks if you haven't already done so. Increase your kpekusing too if DH is readily available too. You can also do squats to help exercise the pelvic floor muscles tho it's not so easy cos of bump heaviness and pains in the legs.
That being said. ...wishing you ALL the best and nothing but the best.

I am 38wks +4days today. . .am excited and anxious. ..it's not been easy. ..started Maternity leave on Monday as I was over tired of preparing for work every morning. House chores have become a great deal of work too ...just managing to keep up. My baby's bag has been packed. ..but mine has not yet but I will do so once I return from ANC today...I do my walks at least 45mins too in the evening ...
I am ready for labour! !! Yes I am.....I want to hold my own baby and nurture with love .
What's your experience like?

Team August is here# Team lik no other # Safe deliveries to us ALL. We won't owe Birth stories O ooo. We will all share our birth stories ooo. So much to write about but I will leave it here for now....Will try to check up on us all more ....You do same too. Some of us have checked in here already for the month....so I know you are good. Still waiting for others who haven't done so to answer this roll call once they are online.Some mama's haven't been here for weeks now. Our twin mummy Vannywealth, Tmama86 and Apeke1991 too. We look forward to good news from

September mama's, we are open to you guys too. Feel free to port here ! TTC mama's, we are awaiting your BFP announcements soonest!!

Beautiful day Mommas....

Amhappy and Coolone1, a very big thank you for sharing your experiences. God will perfect all that has to do with health and you will never sorrow over your children.

This is what we call Learning From Incidences (LFI). You never know the thousands you have saved by sharing this piece.

@all, let's take a clue from them and learn to share whatever we feel will benefit the mama next to us.

Easy delivery to us all free from all complications.

Good morning and have a pleasant day ahead.

Pls mamas in d house, I need ur help. Had watery stool then come pile. I'm 26wks and it has refused to go in. What do ido

A mom here shared sumtin abt scent leave(nchawu) she said u get d leaf,wash it properly,roll it around in ur palm,den u insert it into ur a.ss at nyt,dnt insert all ooo,say d bullet wil go in sharp sharp.. U can repeat d procedure too,mayb u shld try it. I learnt it cause I had dat bullet after I gave birth,wana kep d knowledge incase it happens again wen I give birth again.

Wat I did wen it happend to me though was to get very ripened pawpaw n I ate it,it made my stool very soft n easy to pass tru,also tak lots of water n reduce starchy food,esp yam.. U can eat rice wit veggies too. Pele ok.

Time to rant

I tried getting out of bed 2 days ago and whooop! my muscles in the left leg stiffen! I felt extreme pain and could not walk. see cry
Hubby saw it and said my leg was swollen in that area and started massaging it till it went down. since then, I've been having pains in my left leg. Going to work these days is a handful for me. i feel so much weakness and pressure below. |Walking is also so difficult. I planned shutting down on in 3wks time but as it is now, it seems my strength can't carry me again so I'm thinking of shorting down after next week. Only thing is my leave will be short by a week I'm tired jor, don't know if i can manage till the time i planned initially

onyinyechika08, luscioustrish and bellaella, how are you doing?

Amhappy:
Part 3

I was on the floor while the blood keep pumping out, mum and DH were confused. We used tissue,pad,wrappers etc putting pressure to stop the bleeding. DH woke our neighbours while mum pack something for baby. They called the Dr of the nearest private hospital and he was in. Luckily he is a gynecologist and was even part of my delivery team. They were waiting at our arrival. DH carried me to the car with help of another man. I was wheeled straight to theatre on arrival,bleeding was controlled and another mva done. The blood clot that came out was almost as large as 200naira tissue roll. More retain placenta was removed. I was stitched again of tears that was neglected and those that reopened. I had to do anoda scan to confirm that the place is clear. That was another lesson,I was supposed to do a scan after the first mva.
It's over a week now and I'm gradually recovering after losing a lot of blood. Milk flow is still a work in progress. I sincerely thank God for my life and I hope my story will help someone out there. There are no two mothers ou there,God pls help we mothers to live and raise our children in Jesus name. Amen

Wow! Wat an amazing story, I dnt knw why some Dr's. Dnt take things seriously, see what their negligence caused. Thank God for ur life. May God protect all mothers, those who have offloaded n those yet to offload. Amen

Good day mamas in the house. I ve been a silent follower of this trend and i think its time for me to be a full participant. I am about 7weeks preggy with the attendant symptoms of morning sickness, tiredness et al. From the 4th or 5th week i started spotting, which i initially assumed to be implantation bleeding. But it kept on for a long tym such that i became scared and went for scan at 6weeks. I requested for transvagina scan but a pelvic scan was carried out after i was given 3 sachet of water to drink. The doctor said everything was alright but i should take things easy, no washing, cooking, entering bike , etc. now i try not to stress myself apart from doing little chores like sweeping cooking going to market which is not far from me ,(i have no one staying with me and dh comes late from work and tired most times) still i am spotting and i am worried, can somebody pls tell me what i am doing wrong or should be doing right? thanks.

You are welcome ma. Please i experienced like 45secs spotting and i didnt take it with levity hand oh (Was on strict bed rest for like 2 weeks). I think you need strict bed rest. No going to market, no work, no cooking, nothing you should do. To me you are still stressing yourself ooo. Please seek your doctor advice ASAP.

Amhappy to God be the glory! Thank God it ended in praise.


Coolone thanks for sharing too.

hello dearie, please head to the hospital immediately and ask the doc about progesterone supplement. spotting in early pregnancy can be normal and also it can indicate low progesterone which will be supplemented by progesterone (cyclogest, duphaston etc) to avoid miscarriage (not your portion). Please see a doc ASAP, for me i would take progesterone just for caution

Also sweeping is a serious chore oo, biko leave sweeping for now, please nobody has died from letting it be, also if you can ask someone (siblings or mum) to do bulk cooking so u can rest rather than going to the market or spending too much time in the kitchen. please take as much rest as possible

onyinyechika08, luscioustrish and bellaella, how are you doing?

I'm fine mummy...how's the leg now? Sorry ma

Good morning mamas...
Thanks so much for your input yesterday...
Our immunisation went well, though Jay was really cranky, refused food, and vomited...

But I've come with another one today again... Please don't read and pass...

1...Jay pooed only once yesterday, and most of it (like 90%) was dark green in color... It wasn't watery or slimy, but I'm really worried about the color, as I've never seen it before... Please, is there any cause for alarm?

2...I also had my 6 week check up yesterday, and my blood pressure was 140/100, and I had this terrible headache on just one side of my head for two days...
I was given "adomet", to be taken thrice daily, for 7 days. I've never heard of this drug, so I dunno if it's safe to take it, or to even take it for that long (I know bp drugs are to be taken with care)...
My mum left last week, so it's just dh and I alone with the baby, he doesn't really come home early from work, and that leaves me doing most of the work during the day, which I guess led to the rise in my blood pressure (although he really helps with the baby at night)...

3...Lochia didn't stop at all since I had my baby, but it changed color from bright red to pink, to brown, light brown, and cream and all of a sudden, yesterday evening, it became red again, up till now... (the flow is scanty)...
Please, is this still lochia, or has my period resumed...?

4...What natural remedy can I use for boils? I have one big one on my left eye and it's really painful. I applied shea butter this morning (trial and error things... Lol). This is the second boil on the same eye in less than two weeks...

Please help a worried first timer...
Thanks in advance...

Ammy5565:



Oya time for complaints oh, my experienced mamas, help ya girl. I've been having this consistent headaches that wont go away ,mist times its on the left side of my head and it gets worse if i bend. I feel like my left eye will pop once i bend, i was adviced to take paracetamol by MIL, but havent yet. I just dont know wat the ish is.
We are 19wks, not sure of the days count cuz i keep getting diff figures.

Another thing that drives me nuts, i had terrible MS in my first trimester ,spitting, throwing up, metallic taste and very sick nd weak but to God be the glory, all those symptoms have stopped nd I feel very energetic these days. BT the one challenge that has refused to go with others is that I keep having mucus at the back of my throat, every single minute and it has made me to continue spitting even though the original hyper salivation has stopped. I have to keep clearing my throat and back of my nose nd spitting the rubbish out is inevitable. It's so bad that I always carry a nylon and tissue about to spit the mucus into. It's worrisome and tiring ,I don't know why this won't go away like the others. Pls is any mama experiencing this? How can i stop it completely? Its really stressing me.

I also have this crazy pain at my lower back/ waist in the evenings, its more when i have had to stand a lot during the day. Tho by morning, it goes away. Is this normal?
Pls oh mamas dont waka pass by
melly245
TIA

All this symptoms will go on their own i don't advice taking drugs for MS they will go with time take water for the headache, and plenty fruits.waist pain and back pain are part of the package, if it becomes too unbearable pls take the paracetamol.
Because you are pregnant you will feel all this things, it will all fade away immediately you push your bundle of joy out.Receive everyday with Thanksgiving.

Amhappy..may d Lord perfect dis testimony in ur life ur name is miracle cuz u jst pass thru d valley of d shadow of death nd God was nd wil alwz b wit u sis,kisses to our prince.

zaynie:




The infection could pose more risk to your baby than the drugs.
So far I saw no evidence of contra indication in early pregnancy online. I'd advice you to take your Drs recommended dosage.
Good luck.

Thank you Zaynie
