BS BS BS BIRTH STORY

PRE-PREGNANCY:
In October last year I had a miscarriage at 3 months. Started seeing brown discharges with menstrual kinda pain. It was horrible because the tissue took like a week to come out.... Imagine seeing what should have been your child dangling under you when you use the loo and you have no choice than to pull it out. (sorry for the groose picture I painted). The doctor couldn't give any explanation, he just said some pregnancies ain't meant to be.... It was a lose that almost affected me mentally. But I thank God for strength because hubby and I started baby dancing in few weeks after bleeding stopped, I bought almost 15 strip and I use it every morning to check if anything is happening.... And thennnnnn

PREGNANCY:
One evening in 'November/December' I checked and bam I saw a very faint second line. I was so happy that I kept using the strip morning and evening untill the line became thicker by the day. When I was certain, I went to the hospital to inform the doctor... When I got there he confirmed the pregnancy with a scan, afterwards, he sat me down and said, "maddam, do you want me to really treat you so that you can carry to term without miscarriage again? " I nodded my head like an agama lizard, then he goes "you have to be on progesterone injection till 12 weeks" which I had no problem with until he went further to say I will also need a cerclage procedure done because he suspected that my cervix isn't okay that was why I had the previous miscarriage.... Lol! Right there in my head I was like 1. You didn't even do a scan to check if my cervix is okay.
2. When the miscarriage happened you told me it is not meant to be that I was okay medically.

Okaay o. I asked him how much is the caclage, he said 280k. My intestain immediately began doing press up.... Lol. And then I remembered a medical friend telling me "some" private hospital perform this surgery on "some" people that have insurance or are disperate even if they don't need the procedure . It's another way to make cash. And right there I discided to change the hospital and sort another opinion... PLEASE NOTE THAT I'M NOT SAYING IT IS NOT GOOD O... I JUST FOLLOWED MY INTUITION WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. AND NO IT WASN'T TOTALLY BECAUSE OF THE MONEY.

So I changed hospital and told the new doctor about my history and all he said was he will give me a tablet to take till I'm 8 months... Well, I did not take it because I did not have mentral cramp or bleeding and above all I was scared to take any drug apart from pregnancare so my baby won't be deformed.. YES I CAN BE ANNOYING ALMOST ALL THE TIME WITH MY IDEOLOGY lol....

Then one night in my first trimester I had a dream that I lost the pregnancy, the next morning I didn't even take the dream serious until I went to use the loo and BAM I saw blood..... Haaaaaa..... I just fell on the bathroom floor and cried my eyes out, I wept like a baby to Jesus and right there He said the solution is in my hand... I quickly remembered the drug the doctor recommended.... I searched for it but couldn't find any because I always disgard it anytime I leave the hospital... I ran back to the doctor and confessed.... He then assured me that I will be fine... He gave me another dose and I took it till I was 8 month without any belly cramp or bleeding... Though if I forget to take it at night, I usually have stomach cramps during the day.

At 34 weeks, scan showed my baby was getting big 3.2 and the doctor adviced going for another CS if baby was beyond 3.4 because of uterus rupture or something, because of my previous CS... So I opted for elective CS at 40 weeks (I wanted it at 37 weeks self but hubby was like why the rush, let baby cook very well).

THE BIRTH
At 38 weeks, I woke up with cramps... I immediately knew something was up, I wore my running shoes and took a walk for almost an hour 30 minute. Few days before this time I took zobo and I purged so much that I disgarded the rest. Through out the day the pain was increasing so we discided to go to the hospital at 11pm and the young doctor on duty said everything was tight down there and I was not dilating.... We went back home and I couldn't sleep. So at 6am we went back to the hospital, and the morning doctor checked and said I was 6cm....i was so happy eh..... The pain increased and by 10am I was fully dilated the amniotic sack was 'broken', The doctor said she could feel baby and asked me to push, I pushed but they said I wasn't pushing enough but mahn all my energy was gone. Untill a metron came in and felt that baby is still not close enough but I was fully dilated I tried pushing for like 1 hour. And then the unthinkable happened.... When the baby moved during contraction I feel terrible pain as if the baby was rubbing against my previous CS scar. The metron quickly aborted the delivery process and transfered me to the theater for Emergency CS to avoid Uterine Rapture. The surgeon was about an hour late but eventually baby was born at exactly a week before my scheduled CS weighing 2.7. Stayed at the hospital for 4 days, baby had jaundice. She was under the light for a day, it reduced but because of the Pain I was going through I pleaded to be discharged, thankfully they agreed.... In fact the metron gave us the pawpaw recipe and also prescribed a drug..... We have been taking these... And we have seen changes, her eyes isn't yellow anymore, her skin not yellow and she poos often..... Another jaundice test we did yesterday came back with a significant reduced number so we are jaundice free.

I am hereby cutting my boot into pieces and distributing it to all families waiting for such blessings. My August Cappo bamberry (lol) and teamies, I love you all. I had a wonderful August with you guys. Safe and healthy delivery to everyone.

Congratulations mama, regards to our princess

Dream2:
Thank you, pap was suggested and she has being taking it couple with milk.
Just couldn't stand the innocent baby taking only water since yesterday.

You can get the baby formula for now, Nan should be fine
Except you and wifey are planning on exclusive breastfeeding, you can also try massaging the boobs with warm water....heard it aids flow too.
Let baby try suckling on the nipples also.

Dream2:
Hi mothers, come across this thread and I'm curious as what could be the reason why a new mother couldn't breastfeed her new baby.
In a nutshell, she's a first timer that just gave birth yesterday and milk is not just coming out from her nipples.
Though I was told by the nurse that she will lactate but I'm getting restless here.
Any suggestions on what to do please.

She'll lactate, just give her time.
Some takes up to two-three days before they lactate.
Let her take pap also, it helps .
Regards to her.

I have been drinking hot water for like 2days now.

Will try the hot water steaming this morning.

I've been having catarrh too but it's just intense this time around and complimented with cough.

Thanks Sis.

Try bathing with warm water also...
The cough and cattargh is part of my package also, complained to my doc the last time , he gave me ampicillin with some other drugs but there wasn't much difference, complained again today and I was placed on erythromycin and one other tab... Guess it's the baby package my pregnancy placed me on lol...

Mamas in the house. Please am a bit confused here. Please i need your urgent help
Wifey is 39 weeks and she is feeling pains in the lower abdomen, the VJ, the anus as well as the waist. Then there is this tightening she is feeling in the stomach and it's hard, seems not to be going soft, and if it does, it goes after long hours. But the pain seem to be constant, coming almost every minute.

Also there is this milky water that drips down once a while too. It's bn happening since about a week now.

Please what is wrong. Are we safe? Should we start dashing to the hospital?

Better safe than sorry.... Biko start going to the hospital.. the doc will let you know if it's time already.... Regards[b][/b]
