. Ok thanks cos I have not felt something like that

There's still much time to feel it, and some people don't even feel it at all. All we know is, when it's time for baby to pop out, there'll be no delay.

atumomo:
None yet ma'am only that I get constipated when I take folic acid so I jst tale fosulate since obron6 n odas make me vomit n weak.

Chai, pele. It's well with you. It will end in praise for us all.

rennylicious:
@Anugod our able cappo
No u r not alone in the pelvic bone pains of even me since last week been experiencing that and I also feel tired easily now and I have practically been resting cos workload isn't much at work.

Was telling dh we must finish shopping this weekend or cos this one that porting things is rampant o.
And to think we are even team November and October never starts Sef.

It will all work out for our good Sis.

#team November noloss supernatural delivery

Amen o. My sis, I don't know where our lo's are rushing to o, we never even enter Oct. They should take it easy jor.

I've told dh o, I'm no longer waiting for my grandstyle shopping, we should just get immediate necessities that are left for now. Who grandstyle shopping epp?

casler:
You are not alone. Especially when at end of the day, I want to rest. I try to move around, walk when I feel them. Don't know, feel better afterwards.To me, buying essentials,hospital list is essential.

My hospital didn't give us any list o. What they made us buy at my first ANC was the delivery pack, containing lady sept, towels underpad, surgical gloves, mackintosh, olive oil, cord clamps etc. We've since paid and collected those ones. What I think is left is my lo's stuff. I've actually gotten a lot of it already, but I was waiting to finish buying completely so I can wash and pack in style. But as it stands now, I will just have to do emergency packing, with just immediate necessities, in case it gets to that.

Please mummies in the house, what is this braxton hick and how is the feeling like.
Am team Nov but not feeling any sign

Teamie, it feels like a tightening in your stomach region, like they're squeezing your uterus. It's quite discomforting but shouldn't really be painful. It's actually contractions, preparing you for the real deal. Some people don't even feel it at all.

Nimi22, goodnews. My dh's cousin's wife put to bed last night at your hospital in Bwari. They also live in dutse, we were neighbours till we moved. Didn't know she was preggy till she was far gone. And we were always together that early period in January o. Seems MS no deal with her...
Plus, seems she took in when they came to the village for our wedding
Cos, small thing now, our babies for be twins

And before I knew she was preggy, I was really banking on her support when I put to bed o. Now na me wan carry biggi belle go do omugwo for person
Not her first child though.
When her dh called mine last night to tell us, I immediately thought of you when he said it was Bwari. And they got back home immediately that evening.
God that did it for them successfully will do even so for us too. Amen.

atumomo:
No port leave us oo cappo. May God make it easy for us all.

My sister, I jus tire o. Amen. Are you also experiencing any labour signs?

casler:
Instead of worrying, pray to God for the kind of delivery, you want. However, keep an open mind. Sometimes the depression or pain that comes after birth, is the thought it should have been a particular way. Trust your instincts in all.
God's graces to us all.
Glad to hear from you.
I want to buy all the needed, arrange all arrangements, I keep telling myself take it easy.
God,got us all.

My sister, thanks for this. I have been taking my own arrangements easy o, now lo wants to spring surprises. Pray tell, are you also having the symptoms I'm having?

Team November shey ayam not alone in this perpetual braxton hicks, cramping and pelvic pains? God will see us through till the successful end.

Nimi22:
Pele sis. Let plans not scatter o I know baby is going to wait and come when God wants so keep cool. We are on the same plane now as per symptoms and it's just as if my lo is restless wanting to pop out or better still burst my tummy . October is 2 days away.

Hmmmm, this one this pikin is doing me now, have you been having the symptoms for long? Shey I should not get worried right? Bags are not yet packed o Infact, I haven't really finished shopping..
We kept putting it off till October ending, since my EDD by lmp is late Nov. Now this.
I told dh to let's round up so I can pack on time and the man doesn't know whatsup. He thinks baby knows calendar and will keep to date.
Mumsy said the contractions I'm having are just preparatory.
I hope lo won't take us unawares o.. Shey someone can still be seeing all the signs for the next one month abi? Your symptoms, they started since September starting, right? Abeg gimme hope that I still get time small o...

PatKing:
I be nurse pikin, na public hospital we trust pass for giving birth... as hands will always be available as needs arises. Think am.

See my fellow nurse pikin o When I wanted registering for ANC, mum completely dissuaded me from using private even though I wanted that cos of convenience. Even now, if I can't give birth at her hospital, then it must be GH anywhere else.. She kuku asked me to make friends with nurses at my GH incase I happen to birth there. Na GH we trust pass o

toyeem:
I hope ur things are set ooo. That is how my Labour starts. No show.,no water breaking. Just mild cramping like menstrual pain and feeling of wanting to poo and I'm usually 4cm gone by the time I get to d hospital

Are you serious? Signs of labour? Chai, this pikin stay put abeg! I never plan myself finish o Fear is kashing me now...

Forevergirl:
I am in Kubwa, Abuja.

Aawww... So mamas have helped you with all the hospitals I would have mentioned. Just to add, I love love Federal Staff Hospital Jabi (learnt they changed to Federal Medical Centre). Top notch services, excellent staff though I didn't use there cos of distance. Was redirected to the FSH at Gwarimpa, learnt they're good too. You could check them out.

Sis Nimi22, that wrist thing, I'm also experiencing it o, on my left wrist. I thought it was the way I usually position my hand when using my phone, especially at night on the bed.. I pray it goes quickly abeg.
Now I'm seriously battling braxton hicks and on and off cramping, with persistent pelvic pain. Is that how e used to do?
I hope my lo is not planning to port? Because plans go just scatter niyen
It's well ojare.

LholarB:
So my Lo's weight is at 2.58kg at exactly 35 weeks today (I hope the weight is ok at this stage).DH wants a big Baby *eyes rolling* but I just told him the Baby will add weight when She is here cos am aiming at 2.9/3.2kg for Lo at Birth...I hope dat can work tho!!

Cc cappo Anugod #teamNovember

Chai, dh wants a big baby like say na him wan born am Same thing I told my dh, he should forget big baby o. When lo comes he/she fit big anyhow, but for now, make e pity my hoohaa
Your weight is cool tho, hoping lo doesn't multiply by 2 before then

These days, I just can't stop dreaming of how it will be... Will it start daytime or nighttime? Will my water break first or contractions first? Will I shout, cry or groan? Will I do it myself or resort to cs? Sometimes I dramatise it all in my head, then I just ask God to take over.
I feel like I'm awaiting one all important exam with all the exam tension, but I know in all, God gat us.

Supernatural delivery to us all. No loss is permitted in Jesus name.

casler:
Congratulations to the new mama's. God bless your little ones. This twin boys I tap into it too.
Anugod,you Don travel. Long time, no hear.

Sis mi, I dey o, I never travel. Thanks for checking up on me.

mamatwiny:
I can't say. I used to cramp a day b4 ovulation but stopped cramping after some cycles.
I think we shld maximise bd all through our fertile period whether ovulating or not cos at times, we may not pinpoint the exact time ovulation will occur. It can come earlier or later. The cycle I got bfp, hubby just dey bd dey go. How would I have known my ovulation shifted by 7 days that cycle? If I were to guess I won't have guessed it. My ovulation test strip just did not test positive around my ovulation period, so I guessed ovulation had occurred. Just dey fire dey go , abeg.

God bless you. Please mamas take this seriously. Sometimes we miscalculate ovu. It happened to me too. The month I got bfp was the cycle I didn't acknowledge my ovu period. We just dey fire dey go.
Baby dust everyone.

sweetlady4real:
Body dey o, it is well by His grace. The main thing now is placenta previa, I did a scan last wednesday and placenta was completely covering my cervix. I pray it moves, I'm trusting and hoping in Abba Father who is able to do all things. It may lead to bleeding, premature birth and some other issues. My husband was so worried, some men no get liver at all na only shakara dem get. I don't think they can go through half of what women go through when it comes to reproductive issues. Amen to your prayer. Lo dey worry o but I no complain, just remaining few weeks to go. It's a girl o, confirmed last week.
Thanks mama.

It is well with you teamie. God did not bring you this far to leave you alone now. Keep talking to Him, He's more than capable of fixing everything. I have lots of worries too but I convert them to prayers. He is too faithful to fail and He won't fail.

Don't mind our dhs o, fear fear someborries. I don't bother telling my dh everything, cos fear no go gree the man sleep for night. And he no kukuma get body, if he con dey worry, wetin go remain again?

Don't stop talking to God. He can and will fix it.

Congrats on your girl, my lo no gree show me bumbum

sweetlady4real:
I hail all November mamas. Cappo Anugod, well done ma.

I have so many things on my mind but I trust Jehovah, He is in control.

Have a wonderful week everyone.

My biuriful teamie, how body na? Hope all is well o, with the plenty things on your mind. I know it is well sha. God will keep us till the end. Hope lo no dey worry you too much?

Phew! Thanks mamas, @ Liftedhands, Lilliesbud12, SomebodysMum & Casler. I'm deeply grateful for your advice. I was getting depressed about the whole thing but I feel much more lightened now.

I discussed it with dh and surprisingly, he didn't feel bad about the idea. He actually said it had sometime crossed his mind but he didn't want to put it forward. He said he could take some casual leave from work to be with me when the time is very close if it would make me happy.

I talked about our plans here and he said everything could be put on hold till baby is here. He said ultimately his most important priority is the safety and well-being of his family. If going to mum and discomforting ourselves a little is best for now, then we're in it together.

I asked about friends that are itching to see baby, being that we might not be able to return immediately and he said anyone who's so desperate could come see baby at home. If not they should wait till we return.

I was feeling dad was just intruding into our affairs but he said dad only meant well.
Suddenly, I didn't feel too bad about the idea anymore. But all in all, we decided to pray and commit the whole idea to God so we know the right step to take when the time comes.

I really really appreciate you mamas that contributed. You really did a lot to calm my heart. Truly I'm not alone. God bless you plenty and forever mas!

Please mamas help me chook mouth inside this matter.

So my dad called this morning, and suggested that he would like for me to go spend the last few weeks of my pregnancy at home with my mom. Mum is a nurse, currently in school but will be through with her final exams next month. He wants me to go stay with her because she'd be returning to work at our hometown after her final exams (location is different from where dad is based). He feels I'd be exposed to excellent medical care coming from her and the hospital where she works. He also feels that since dh and I are not mobile, night emergencies won't be funny here. As for that, dh and I have since made arrangements with a reliable cab guy who's always at our beck and call. We also have a neighbour who we can contact too.

Then he feels it'd be better I stay with mum for omugwo instead of her coming over here, maybe cos he feels our house is not too big. In as much as I would really love to receive medical care from mum, cos I wouldn't have to worry about rude nurses or nonchalant care workers, I am having mixed feelings about the whole idea.

1. Since I got married, the highest I've been separated from my dh is one day, so I don't really know how I would cope if I have to leave him with no immediate return date in mind.
2. Would I be able to return as soon as baby is born? Cos I don't want to do our naming in the village. We have plans for that here, and going would distabilize those plans.
3. I feel somehow that my dad is limiting my hubby's capacity to take care of his responsibilities and feels I'm safer with mum at this stage. I know my dh's pride and how he won't be happy to think that dad feels he's incapable of handling our emergencies.

Although, dad asked me not to tell dh, that he would tell him himself, and put it to him as a suggestion, he wanted to know my take.
I told him I have no problem with the idea if my dh approves of it, but now I'm feeling somehow about it. My dh may approve since he would want the best care for me, but that would mean a lot of distabilization for me...

Please what would you advise me do?
Do I go along with the plan? Do I put a stop to the idea? Just what do I do?!

myrygurl:
Ha I almost missed HE, HRH, the giddbaby herself even though it was just like a flash, she's cute n chubby

Momagic:
wow! I dont have a weird craving yet with this pregnancy. Unlike last time I was craving fresh cement. It started one day when we were driving past a block industry . I even told dh to buy me small freshly made cement so I can smell it daily. I was in my second or third trimester. I had to make do with the smell of cement peel from a wall.. or charcoal. I'm sure I would have eaten it if it was safe to . It smelt soo good to eat ...wierd!

Wow. The craving is just driving me crazy. I jus tire. The kind joy that I derive from perceiving the smell ehn, izz like having multiple orgasm . I jus tire.

My appreciation to mamas here. Your encouragement and support lifted my spirit. Thank you all

God is taking control and hope it will end in praise. I've gone for the scan and the heartbeat was found to the Glory of God but the baby is measuring behind. As against 12weeks, it's 7weeks 5days and my LMP was June 24.
Though I'm still spotting but I'm placed on bed rest and a drug will be administered to stop it. I'm waiting for doctor to attend to me.

I just pray it won't worsen before next scan.

E-hug

Praise God. It is well with you sis. God will perfect all that concerns you and your lo. You will come back with more testimonies and there shall be no loss. Amen.

ebonychic18:
you will be amazed at how she'll snap back easier and faster than some with small bump. Especially if she had vaginal delivery. It depends on body type.

Really? I pray so for me oo, with all these stretch marks I'm seeing so

Yesterday, I tried on my traditional wedding blouse and it could still enter me! I was so glad ehn, with the way dh has been telling me how fat I am. The blouse, although peplum, is fitted at the arms and bwesst regions, so I was so surprised it could still enter me. Does that mean my arms and boobs no increase? I was dancing o I can't wait to return to my pre-pregnacy shape bikonu

Nope I attend COCIN
But I was attending living faith before I married dh

Awwww. Me sef na dh catapult me come dunamis o. My dad is even an orthodox pastor, but I don leave their way. Even if my dad comes to visit me now, he'll have to follow us to dunamis
