God will do it before then,I'm having posterior placenta too, was tested on Monday and was told the cervix is still closed tho I've been having cramps since 33 weeks,I was asked to go home and come back next week.God will perfect what he has started,we shall be alive to carry our babies in our hands.

WetSmoke:
I just got back from my antenatal visit. The doctor asked if I was feeling anything, I told her nothing o. She said since my date has passed she will do a membrane sweep.
People of the Lord, I almost brought down the walls of the room, I was screaming, she said she is yet to reach the cervix, that it is posterior and tightly closed. I said you don't mean it, phew!!!
Chai! It was painful. She said if no labour till Friday, I should come for another membrane sweep on Friday.
Then if nothing till next week I will be induced.
God I am in your hands ooo.


Kpele. That's the same question my doctor asked at my last appointment. She asked if I was having any labour signs I told her not yet oh because I haven't even gotten close to my due date and in my previous pregnancies I use to be overdue before I deliver. She said every pregnancy is not the same that this one may be different. Well all the same I want to get to my due date before I deliver, because I am still yet to buy all my hospital things and I have not put my house in order for the arrival of the baby. I am still going to work sef and not started my maternity leave. I want to get to my due date before I deliver oh

Good morning experienced mamas.

I am a first time mother and my baby is over 5 weeks.

I am kind of worried my baby doesn't respond to sound. Hubby plays the home theatre very loud sometimes especially when baby is sleeping just to see if he'll be frightened.

Please l want to if it's normal

Long post alert. Grab your zobo and puff puff

So dh and I got married in Dec, 2019 and I took in instanta. At 12 weeks in March when we went to register for antenatal, it was discovered I had missed miscarriage. (the baby stopped developing at week . I cried my eyes out but DH was strong for me. So we evacuated. My birthday was the following day. I was in so much pain that night, dh brought my gift and sang for me, we didn't sleep that night. The next day being my bday, he bought me cake and insisted I had a photoshoot. Worst birthday everrrr.

Got my period in April. Dh and I started calculating my ovulations. Baby dancing was more for baby than fun so dh was really not having it nice. Sometimes he'll find it difficult to get up, other times he won't just c*m. Arghh! Frustrating. After my period in July, I decided to not tell him about my next period or ovulation. He kept asking but i didnt say. Then baby dancing was great fun mostly initiated by yours truly especially around my ovulation. August came, I missed my period, tested the next day and boom 2 straight, shining beautiful lines were smiling at me and i smiled back. So the 9 months journey began.

FIRST TRIMESTER
First trimester was smooth. I slept alot the first few weeks, threw up when brushing and had headaches. But I had a lot of fears and worry because of the previous experience. Few days after my bfp, I spotted and ran to the hospital, found out it was implantation bleeding. Did my first scan at 8 weeks, was told there was no fetal pole but there was movement. That night I no sleep. Dh kept encouraging me and I kept researching. Later, I felt my boobs were no longer full and tender, so I went back to the hospital and asked for progesterone test which was declined by my hmo saying everything was ok with me. I started crying o. Dh was still there for me. Finally my linear nigra started showing and my tummy started bulging. Like that first trimester passed.

SECOND TRIMESTER was easy and great. I was full of energy. It was only with my bulging tummy i remembered I was pregnant.

THIRD TRIMESTER I had thought 3rd trimester would be hard but it was so easy and smooth. I had really big tummy and it never stopped me from doing anything.

DELIVERY
I saw my mucus plug on the Monday when I wiped. Went for antenatal on Tuesday and told the doc about it. I was 39+ and was really praying and hoping to deliver before my due date. I told him I had hoped that would be my last antenatal and he said hopefully. On Wednesday morning I saw some water when I got up from the bed and i knew it was my water.

That night 29th April at about 1am contractions started, I couldn't sleep. I didnt wake dh up but started timing but it was irregular. Dh is an early riser, so when he woke up by 4am he noticed i was in pain and asked that we went to the hospital but I told him we should wait. I did the dishes and some other things before we left by 6:30. V.E was done and I was 2cm. Because of the fluid I was loosing i had to be admitted. I tried walking, climbing stairs to help with dilation. For where? I was checked like 3 more times yet I was still at 2cm. I made a mistake going that early. I was actually worried because of my water. You see those 2 fingers ehn! Plus the doctor is fat you need to see his fingers. I told him his fingers were too big. contractions increased at night but was not still regular. I still couldn't sleep. I don't know how some people sleep between contractions o. Chai! Contractions were supposed to push lo down, but mine stayed obviously up. My mum even noticed lol.

In the morning dh and SIL brought me bread and tea before I could eat, I was whisked away to the labour room. That was when the real real deal started. They checked that morning, i was still at 2cm. I almost cried. He kept monitoring the contractions. Later they placed misopristol under my tongue. Contractions doubled with very little
breaks in between. They kept checking lo's heart rate and my progress unfortunately, I wasn't progressing. By afternoon, I was barely 4cm. They broke my water. Later, the nurse said i had urine in my bladder, so they removed it. They fixed drip for me, the nurse said it was water. Contractions were still the same, dilation was still the same. Later they added oxytocin. That sh*t was mad o. I had thought contractions were strong with misopristol, with oxytocin? Well, i can't describe. It was back to back, no breaks. I moved from holding the bed frames to holding dh. I find latter helped better. When contractions come, I'll clench his shit, or bite hard on his sleeves. The doctor was like I should not bite him o, they can't 2 emergencies at the same time lol. At 7/8 cm I started asking for Cs o. By the time I was 8cm, I asked for epidural but they said it was late that those that ask for it usually do so ahead of delivery or at most before 6cm and they don't just ask patients because of the cos na I hear 170k. Inside my contractions I shouted

I wish every preggy mum safe delivery and sprinkle baby dust on every gtc mum. I'll be back soon.

Good evening everyone.
So I went to the pharmacy today to get forlic acid, but the pharmacist prescribed PREGNATONE for me instead, she said it's better and it contains forlic acid too.
I just want to know if it's safe to start using it as am just 5weeks gone.

Dear Mama's, since 3 days I have been experiencing malaria symptoms and contractions at 34wks and 3days. I refused all advances by DH and my people to go to the hospital to have LO myself checked. Around 1pm yesterday, it got worse and I started feeling feverish and since I was at my family's house, my mom forcefully called a nurse close to the house to check me. She gave me antimalaria drugs (3 tabs) with paracetamol because I am pregnant. I told her about the contractions and she checked if my cervix was dilated or getting ready for labour (so painful cos I struggled and she didn't use lubrication ). She said it was just preparations by my baby and I wasn't in labour yet. After she left, I started feeling strong contractions which I knew something went wrong from the check. I beared and this morning I felt better, no more temperature or fever till past 7pm whoo. A tingling sharp pain appeared in my left hip close to my waist, then the fever thing started again. I couldn't bear the pains and by past 10, we left for the hospital and I was checked by the Dr and he said, it wasn't labour, it was false contractions and I had to be admitted and given drip with injections and Tablets. Fast forward to 2 hrs later when my mom and little sis had gone home, I had to pee. DH took me to the restroom and on the 2nd trip I tripped and fell on the bathroom floor with my upper back hitting the tiled floor edge of the restroom so hard, the drip needle came out of my hand and blood came gushing. The nurse ran in, she and DH got me up and the drip was reset. Baby has started kicking again, I know she is fine in Jesus name. My due date is June 28th. Please Mamas and daddys pray for me and my lo. I'm still in the hospital currently on the drip. Feeling dizzy just wanted to update y'all.

Benzemma:




You are wright. But it is almost unbearable, when person you least expect it from, puts you in a condition where you find yourself as though you are drowning in the middle of an ocean, without hope of help from any where. There is no worse heart break than for a close relative to take the advantage of the trust you have for him and betray you to the tune of making you to lose all you have in life and that of the people you have as parents. The emotional trauma is usually suicidal. I can't believe that is me that will work like elephant and then start to eat like an ant. Because of selfishness and stone hearted of the person you considered as a relative. Am just living in a state of hopelessness. I have just been strucked down, even to the level I didn't not pass through. And I have been asking my God, what is my sin that human being have not sinned before?�

indian03:
The manual breast pump I bought only worked twice..ive tried it several times again it's not working. I don't know if electric pump will work well cos I've never used hreast pump before. And I can't wait 3 weeks for breast pump to arrive if I order now from china because I'm in pain.my breasts are engorged and I'm having fever with cold and headache as the baby is not sucking all.
Pls help with suggestion. The suction on the breast pump is not holding my breasts so I'm thinking maybe cos the breast is soft and sag now.

Well-done ma'am for the shopping, start arranging and packing the bag Ma.
I believe you will be ask to do a scan before you birth your LO, my doctor told me in my last visit that I will have to do one more scan before delivery which I want to believe you will have to do too.
Enjoy the rest of your preggy journey ma'am

The journey of ttc started in 2018 after marriage, the last thing I ever expected was to look for a child. Fought several battles from infection, to ovarian cyst, to irregular menstruation, to low sperm count, spent Hundreds of thousands trying to conceive. To cut the long story short in September 2020 I went to work as an adhoc staff in my states election, I was already 4 days late on my period before traveling to the village I was posted to officiate , I didn't see being late as anything cos I've been 5 and 6 days late yet disappointed before so I travelled with my sanitary pad. After the election and returning home I discovered I was having a fever I complained to DH and he was like probably it's the stress from the election process coupled with the fact that I slept outside a public school field. The night of my arrival from the election, DH was trying to help me arrange my bag I came home with and noticed I didn't use my sanitary pad, he asked and I told him I just noticed that I didn't see my period. Next day I told him I needed to treat malaria but he insisted I take a pregnancy test first he bought me test strips that turned positive for the first time after ttc for 2 years. And so the journey to mother hood started . First trimester was a smooth sail apart from heart burn and constipation no morning sickness or nausea what so ever. Second trimester was the smoothest sail, I could eat and sleep with ease, third trimester came with sleeplessness and waist pain.

On Sunday 2nd of May I had two contractions at night By dawn of Monday the pain started coming and going with very irregular timing sometimes 1hr, 30 mins, 2hrs in-between, I went to the salon to make my hair yet the contraction kept on coming and going . I called my matron and she told me to come in for checking by 2pm the following day considering that my EDD was still 10 days away. Then night came ooohh God of heaven the contraction became intense and I started going to the toilet to poo with heavy contractions..after going to the toilet 3 times within 6 contractions in two hours , by 1am I called my matron again, she asked if the contraction were close in timing? I said NO, if they were 5-15 mins apart? I said NO, if I had seen my water? I said NO, if I had seen my mucus plug? I said NO... She still said "owk just watch out for those signs you can come in by morning let me check you".. the next time I had a contraction that made me go to the toilet by 2:13am , I checked and I saw a transparent mucus with blood stain, I didn't bother to call my matron back ,I just made up my mind to wait till morning. After seeing the plug, the pains intensified and I couldn't sit or stand through the contraction anymore. If I was standing, the pains would bring me to my kneel.. I continued bearing the pain till 4:30am I went to wake hubby to get ready I needed to go cos the pains were becoming unbearable. By 5am we were out of the house the drive to the hospital was 35 mins as free as the road was. I had three heavy contractions with pains that spread from my back lower waist to the front during the drive. When we got to the hospital I couldn't move my legs to come down from the car. When the pains reduced I quickly came down and tried my best to walk into the hospital. My BP was checked, then the matron came in with gloved hands around 5: 58am to check me, she inserted her hands and the next thing she was giving instructions to the two nurses with her on what and what to bring. She told me to try and climb the delivery bed then I asked " please ma how many CM?" She answered you're 6cm. I was left there to go through 3 more excruciating contractions by 6:15 am she came in to check again, as she put her hands in she said " you're 8cm, stay still I want to rupture your membrane" then I felt hot gush of water flow out" the pain of contraction that followed made me tear the hospital pillow with my teeth, Then it was time to push.. it was difficult to push through the pain, I couldn't even keep my legs up. I pushed through 5 contractions in total and my baby was out by 6:56am by my husband's check weighing 3.9kg with no tears just a minor bruise. The pains made the time so long I thought it was even 7 or 8am.

God be Praised
He changed my status free of charge
