Hello mamas, I went for scan today and was told that baby is just 2.0kg at 37wks 4days.


I'm suspecting that the machine is mal functioning but if not, then I should be worried that he is low weight.


Please what can I do to make him add weight a bit?

Teamie I don't think you should be worried. Those scans can be wildly inaccurate sometimes.

Also, baby won't come out till he or she is fully baked. I believe The only time you should be worried about baby being small is if you are not supposed to go into labour i.e the type that they must do cs at 37 weeks.

Just stay calm and continue eating healthy. Otherwise you can go do a scan elsewhere for second opinion.

Yes dear, when I met the Dr. She said I should not mind it that it's either the machine wasn't functing well or the technician doesn't know how to use it well.
Dr. made the comment after checking the tummy with both hands and measuring tape.

Go to another scan centre.

Teamie don't worry urself about d weight ooo
Just eat healthy and prepare urself for d main day

BS Part 1
I know it’s long due but pardon me. Being my first pregnancy and knowing that I was pregnant right from the first week, counting months, weeks and days was all I could think of and it felt like I’ve been pregnant like forever. MS was hellish and my DH had it on full wheel, when everyone was hot, I’d be freezing and vice versa. I couldn’t eat and the only way I could drink water was to add lemon and watery pap became the only thing I could manage to smell and ingest apart from my lemon water. There was no spitting nor vomiting but there were days I’d pray to vomit but it just won’t happen.
Middle of Second trimester, things changed and the glow sets in the way I was glowing and looking radiant ehn, the mirror and selfie became my hobby. While some of my colleagues at work were giving compliments, few of the females said I’d be so ugly when I gave birth with how pretty I looked but I bless the name of the Lord, 3 weeks postpartum and the glow hasn’t fade .
On the 31st of March which was a Sunday, I was Hot and using style to touch DH but he won’t even look at my side as I became an egg to him as I reached 37 weeks to him, any small thing can trigger labor. I sha resigned to faith and slept off around 12:30. I woke sometimes later to pee and was having ‘stomach pain’ going to the toilet became regular and the contractions were coming. At 3:30am my husband insisted we left for the hospital which we did. (It was a 5mins drive from our home). We got to the hospital and was checked only to be 2cm, you mean with all that I’m feeling it’s only 2cm? Ok o, I kept my hope on. 4hrs later, I told DH that I should be around 8cm because I was seeing stars. The doctor checked and I’m still 2cm dilated then frustration sets in. I was begging DH to request for CS as I couldn’t endure anymore, the doctor said I was progressing and there’s no need for CS but I wouldn’t have it, it was the only thing that could end the torment.

BS Part 2
The nurse attached to me was lecturing me on the pros and cons of CS but I wasn’t listening, DH was trying to ease the pain with back rubs and soothing words but nothing worked infact, I was now angry with everything and everyone. My next check, I was 4cm. To cut the extremely long story short, I didn’t know what I was experiencing was preamble to what’s to come. Hmm, when the real contractions started, I was in another planet. By then, I had cancelled the thought of CS entirely. I was moved to the delivery room when I was finally fully dilated. To the glory of God, I had my 4kg princess and severe tear which took 50mins to stitch and guess what, both injection and drip given to numb the pains I’d get from being stitched up had zero effect so, I was in excruciating discomfort and pain through the whole process. It’s been 3 weeks and I can finally sit without lady sept pad. Another doctor that was on duty the second day which was the day we were discharged was furious and actually ranting about the other doctor allowing me birth a 4kg baby. In my mind, I was thinking, how could he have known when they didn’t even put me through a scan to see any possible last minute change.
There’s an issue I’d like to discuss based on my experience with an NHIS accredited hospital but another time. Thanks for reading through my epistle. I am brilliant at summarizing but this case pass summary, this is the best summary I could come up with. Safe and swift delivery to our waddling mamas

[quote author=eksbabe post=77769540]BIRTH STORY.
LMP was July 22, 2018, a day after my 1st son clocked one and when i thought i was safe, i conceived this baby.
Pregnancy was quite uneventful but i dealt with a lot of fatigue and restlessness (maybe cuz i didnt use my routine drugs).

Please sir, do not give your wife herbs.
Trust the doctors to give you the right medication for your wife and child.

No please. Don't combine herbal medicine with orthodox. Stick with one. BTW, why using herbs? Get a certified doctor to treat your wife mbok
