Good evening Mama's and family in the house.

Pls I'm over 15 weeks pregnant and had cough, catarrh and malaria recently. I went to the hospital but couldn't see doctor due to current protest and break down of law and order.

A nurse friend prescribed paludrine 1*2 daily, amoxil 1*3 daily vitamin c, paracetamol and multivitamin for me.
I've taken the paludrine for 3 days now but a pharmacist just made me know that paludrine isn't safe during pregnancy.

Pls I want to know if I'm at any risk

paludrine is d safest malaria drug during d first trimester. U are not at risk. Keep taking ur folic acid too.

Mine lasted for almost 6 weeks post partum. The flow was from heavy to light then disappeared totally. I think u should go see the doc. So long as I breast fed, no period for me . I didnt kpekus too for 1 year(yeah!!! One year of freedom). So something is amiss.

I doubt there is anything amiss, I always practice exclusive breastfeeding but my period usually comes exactly after 1month I put to bed, that's even 2weeks after lochia

For Zi, I had PPH and it lasted for over 3months but 2weeks after it finally stopped my period came. I guess bodies differs, I learnt those with much progesterone in there Bodies tend to menstruate earlier after delivery.

Hi Mamas, I have some Neatly used items for sale. Baby graco bed, Vita foam of a graco bed size, baby standing bathing tub.

Pls DM/Email if interested

Mine usually starts after 1 year

LONG POST ALERT

BS

EDD... Oct 18
DOB..Oct 21

My pregnancy journey was a very smooth one. I discovered i was pregnant week 8 (mind you i was on antibiotics, detoxifying and doing regular sit ups then coz we weren't planning for a baby this year). I had no morning sickness, no cravings, no drama... I was even feeling like I wasn't pregnant at a point and I had to run a scan to be double sure

DH and I kept praying for supernatural delivery and we were trusting God the baby will come on or before Oct 12..(My birthday and our wedding anniversary). I ate pineapples, dates, brisk walked, danced, like my life depended on it. Oct 12 came and passed, no show. To be honest, i was really sad, i was just unnecessarily emotional.

Fast forward to my last antenatal visit, i was already on week 40 and the hospital policy states induction at week 40. The gynae told me i had to come to the hospital on Sunday night to be induced by 5am Monday. On hearing this, i hot really scared. As a FTM, I didn't know what to expect. All I've had people mention is how painful induction could be. I wasn't ready for all that. I had a 2 hour trek that day, took 2 whole pineapples. Even drank almost a full bottle of castor oil.... Yes.. I was that desperate.. Yet, nothing. I started feeling like God didn't answer my prayers of supernatural birth. Different questions and anxiety started beclouding me. I decided not to go for the induction. Then on Tuesday, the bombshell news of curfew came.. We had no choice than to go to the hospital coz we didn't know how long it was going to last. After i concluded with DH, i entered the room, cried very well as i was praying. Then after the cry, made up my mind to go for the induction.

By Wednesday morning, they inserted the first dose of tablet. No show till 9am. Then by 9, a membrane sweep was done since i wasn't contracting at all. Immediately after the sweep, i started vomiting, while vomiting, my water broke. After then, another dose of the tablet was inserted. Ghen ghen... Labor started 9:30...the contractions did not stop. They couldn't even monitor the fetal heart rate properly coz before they count 30, contractions were back. The contractions was coming like 2 mins then 30 seconds of rest. I was still forming breathing exercise, but when it got to a point... I started hitting the wall vehemently. Oh and I forgot to add that i couldn't labor laying down.. I was pacing to and fro.. The gynae kept begging me to lay down so I don't put pressure on the baby... For where, i just couldn't

By 11:30, i begged then to check me,. I was 7cm dilated, and fully effaced. I was to be checked again by 1pm..when it was 12:05, i couldn't hold it anymore.. I just begged a Doctor to check me (they didn't want to check frequently coz my water had broken to reduce risk of infection)... He checked and i was 10cm gone. Hubby was in labor room with me but immediately they wheeled me to the delivery room, he ran out to call the gynae himself. My darling daughter came out crying after 2 pushes, and just 4 mins in the delivery room. Had very little tear

That is my long story of 3 hrs labor and 4 minutes delivery. I learnt so well that God's timing is different from ours and someone else's story of supernatural childbirth differs from ours. Things didn't go my way, it went God's way and to be honest, I'll be eternally grateful for that.

To all preggy mommas awaiting delivery, i pray your bundle of joy arrives meeting you in sound health and your delivery shall be divine.

Side note.. Having to take care of myself and the baby alone with DH for 4 days wasn't easy at all oh.. And this girl can eat oooh... Thank God the curfew is over.

Before pregnancy, during pregnancy and after delivery (breastfeeding).

If every waddling mum can embrace this; we will be more rest assured that we and our stories ( life experiences) are perfect enough.

Safe delivery is when mother and baby is alive.

What God cannot do does not exist.

I started trying out for baby 2 when baby one clocked a year.

I knew it may be a struggle since I have massive mass of fibroids around my cervix.

Prior to then, the gynaecologist had told me that except I go for surgery, I may not have a baby.

So the struggles and prayers began.

fast forward Dec 2018, I missed my period!!!

Hurray!!! I was happy! The morning sickness and all of that started. After 6 weeks, I started bleeding... I bled for about a week but I refused to give up.

The preg signs and symptoms stopped.

I informed my DH. We advised yourself not to go for scan. We kept believing that the pregnancy is intact.

I didn't go for scan until 27th week when I was to travel out of town. Behold my brethren, the 3D scan read 20 weeks oh!

I refused to believe, I did scan in three other places same thing! How come? What happened? I couldn't believe it o!

That's how I had to endure the pain of losing 7 weeks just like that.

Fast forward week 35 ANC doctor asked that I bring my 38 weeks scan result and gave a particular high tech lab I must go.

By 37 weeks, I felt unwell and decided to go for the scan o.

My sisters, I had excess of amniotic fluid, the fibroids had grown bigger and covered my pelvics completely.

Week 38 I was supposed to go for ANC I began to stool every 2 hours. I sha managed to go for my ANC.

Doctor asked if there was any complain, I said no oh! Except that I've been stooling since 2am.

He checked me and said; you need to go home to bring your things.

That's how it started o. Called for my things to be brought ; i was admitted, and CS was done the next day.

Prior to then my elective was scheduled for 26th Oct ( between 38-39 weeks) but my LO decided to come earlier than planned at 37W5days.

Thank you so much for all your prayers and congratulatory messages.

For these trusting God for the fruit of the womb, God no go shame you. You will carry your baby.

For my waddling mama's you will all carry your baby, breastfeed them, sing for them and enjoy motherhood in grand style in Jesus name.

This is me signing out.

Congratulations to our own Omah1. As you have opened the floor for team November, We pray we all delivery stressfree as the time comes.

As we await the month of November. We need to be on the lookout for labor signs and body changes.

It’s the event you've been happily (and nervously) anticipating for months: your baby’s birth! Here are 10 signs that labor is near and your baby's birthday is almost here.
Many a pregnant mom has wondered how just how labor will feel, how long it will take and how to know whether it's the real deal or just a false alarm.

It’s hard to predict the answers to all those questions, since every birth is different, but knowing what labor is and what signs to look out for will help provide clues that it's almost time to meet your baby!

What is labor?
Labor is the process of childbirth, starting with contractions of the uterus and ending with the delivery of the baby.

If you're like a lot of pregnant moms, you're probably wondering how you'll know for sure that you're in labor. Look out for these 10 signs of labor that tell you baby's on the way:

Baby "drops"
Cervix dilates
Cramps and increased back pain
Loose-feeling joints
Diarrhea
Weight gain stops
Fatigue and "nesting instinct"
Vaginal discharge changes color and consistency
Stronger, more frequent contractions
Water breaks
