Hbd to my most fav Isoko woman, you are lifted darling and may you always radiate joy, Amen. Ahnie.

BS!

Starting from when the kpekus that resulted to this pregnancy, this preggy has been eventful. From threatened miscarriage, to me resigning from work, to experiencing heartbreaking weakness (someone that was very agile), to mood swings, to having malaria, upper respiratory tract infection, typhoid and hepatitis all at once, to wasting money going for scans all to know the sex of my yellow pawpaw and the boy no just wan respect em self, to having vericose veins, although my gynea said it was bad (em dey tell em self), to having correct boils everywhere for body,  even inside my trust bank, to having akpu behind, to being depressed, to developing hbp towards the end. My sisters, I saw it all. But in all, I give glory to God.
 After waiting and wasting money going for scans, I decided not to go again, during my 1st baby's time, my bag was already packed at 5months, but in this my bun, at 37 weeks and 4days, I just got essential things that wasn't dependent on the sex of lo. October 6th saw me going to the market to get essential things, after all my waka, I just decided to pity the bun and go check in another scan center to see if I can have a positive result about its sex. Can you believe that this dude was still hiding oo, I asked the sonographer how big em kini dey cos me no just understand, he said "madam, don't worry, he will perform well when the time comes". I use fear and faith together believe am. During the scan, the guy just gave me a heartbreaking news, my baby was heads down but facing up, that was all he said. I got scared, he also changed my edd to 18th instead of 24th. I took the result to my gynea and he asked me to go do a repeat scan downstairs, I rushed down, all the energy I didn't have before came flowing. After the scan, I took my result to my gynea and it was same. My amniotic fluid was reduced, baby's biophysical profile was 8 as against 10, baby was heads down but facing up. I got weak and started crying, called my dh, he ran down to the hospital, we both went in to see the Dr, he gave us till 10th of Oct, that if labour hadn't started by then, that we should come so that I would be induced. Choi, I called all the medical practioners in my home and they all encouraged me and told me to keep an open mind cos if induction fails, na cs pere! O Christ in heaven. I prayed and I prayed. I chatted mommy Zaynie up (God bless you a hundred fold), told her I needed items for baby boys and I told her how urgent it was. Unfortunately, new born baby boy stuffs weren't available (mamas una try, una no even say make una remain for me), she then offered to help me go to the market and get stuffs from the market for me, but unfortunately, my dh said no, I owe her a lot for even suggesting. Meanwhile, I was ordered to rest seeing as I was probably leaking fluid and my gynea suspected that maybe my placenta was older than it should be. 7th of Oct, I called my bestie, she came around, told her to get me few baby boy's stuffs, I planned using my 1st baby's stuff that I hadn't given out too. Thanks to God she got good stuffs too. I washed everything I needed, packed my bags and then 10th of October, I was off to the hospital with my dh. We got there and my bp was checked, I was in the clear, no real contraction yet, just all the kweke kweke ones. My Gynae asked a nurse to go check me (can't remember what he called it sef, cervical wtv), she did and I was asked to lie down for 30mins before wearing my trouser (yes ooo, I was determined to slay while in the labour room mbok even though I get plenty vericose vein, but na when you open the cloth you go see am na! Atleast I didn't paint my face ni, so I tried.), after all had been done, I was informed that a room had been set up for me. I went there and I slept for a long time, amidst contraction that wasn't really all that painful. Around 6pm, I rang for a nurse that I needed to poop and the nurse came and said she needed to check me, I told her that I was sure it was baby that was doing me but better shi.t, still she insisted, so I allowed her now, shebi na she I go blast with poop abi, after checking, I asked her how many cm I was and she said I just started that I was just 2cm gone, choi, I weak. I sha went and pooped my thing. By then my dh had gone cos he was called for something important, so I called him and informed him about what the nurse said, he came back and stayed with me, we were just gisting normal gist. Shortly after, a nurse was sent to come check on me and also to ask me to come down which I did. Na there problem start. They used one instrument like that to check for baby's heartbeat and they couldn't find it. Eh!!! 3nurses checked but couldnt find it, my Gynae was alerted and he got into the room, he used same thing to check, went round the delivery table checking for baby's heartbeat, nothing! Hieee, I popped on myself. My Gynae ran to his office and got one portable stuff like that (I don't know the name and it was the least of my problems), poured that liquid stuff that sonographers usually pour on someone's stomach before carrying out a scan, and he started searching for baby's heartbeat. After a while, it was found but it wasn't as strong as it should be. Once I start contracting, the heartbeat would reduce, then pick up after each contraction. Baby's heartbeat was reading 92 as against the normal 140 (+/- 20). He then told I and my dh that he needed to carry out cs and he needed to carry it out ASAP. Immediately I heard cs, my bp started rising. By then my mil don show. I started crying, when my dh saw that I was crying, him too started, imagine person wey suppose dey console me, I leave my own cry come dey console am, later him go dey form jagaban! My dh asked my gynea if we could discuss and he gave the go ahead and told us to come see him in his office after our discussion. By then, momsy was already calling all the pastors that she could. Unknown to us, baby's heartbeat was dropping more and more. After our village meeting, I and my dh went to see the Dr and he told me that really soo many things were wrong with the baby (God forbid), not me. My fil called him and he told him same thing that if we wanted a life baby that we needed to carry out cs and we needed it ASAP cos he said I was just 2cm gone and there was no guarantee that baby would stay put all through the period of labour. My dh looked at me and said "baby, make the decision", and I said to the "Dr, please bring out my baby". We got to the theater and when Dr checked baby's heartbeat, it had dropped further, O Christ, then the nightmare started. Dr said he wouldn't be able to give me general anesthesia or even that one that would know me off from my stomach below cos it might affect my baby. Then he asked me if he should go ahead and give me the general one or just local one while I bear the pain. My mil screamed and said Dr please give her the general one please, but I told my Dr that I had suffered too much on this preggy to not go home with my baby, dude bring it on, motherhood is divine. He started administering the local anesthesia, chooking me needles everywhere, I was given 40mls of the local anesthesia (and I fear needles like mad), my 2 hands and legs were bound and the procedure started. 1st layer, I didn't feel any pain, didn't even know when I was cut, then 2nd layer, the painful biatch started, O Jesus, it was hell. My dh who promised to be with me in sickness and in health ran away. My mil was holding my head and her tears were falling down my face while speaking in tongues (she sabi now, me no sabi speak kpam), my sisters, it was hell. When my gynea got to the 4th layer, I thought I was going to die, my only hope was the fact that I was going home with a living child mind you amidst all this, I was still feeling contractions. I started chanting "Overcame" by Ada. When he said he wanted to bring out my baby and he tried bringing it out, the kind shout wey I shout ehhh, he told a nurse to please knock me out, that I had tried. I was knocked out but made to understand that I was still chanting my "Overcame", I know I was chanting it while in ulala land but didn't know I was chanting it in real life. I also heard the cry of my baby while in ulala land, it was very weak. They said Baby had already pooped inside my stomach and had some poop on his mouth. He was quickly cleaned up and hooked to an oxygen tank although for few minutes (he weighed 3kg). After I was stitched, I was allowed to sleep in the theater for good 2hours before I was wheeled to my room with everyone still in attendance. My Gynae ordered that I should be given the best room in the hospital cos I deserved it. I really OVERCAME. We are still at the hospital and I'm recovering very fast. I OVERCAME. I don't know how long it will take but ima get my flat tummy back (yea, I'm vain like that). I don't and won't wish my enemy the experience I had. It wasn't easy at all.
May God make it easy for all of us. You too will overcome no matter the situation, just have faith. I keep on imagining what would have happened if I didn't go for that scan that day. I give glory to God cos I really Overcame in every angle.

I agree with Soon.est, its a phase, he will soon outgrow it, af far as he is fine and not showing any signs of distress, he is good.

Mommy Zaynie, you are too gbaski joor. Make ah hear say I no collect. We have known each other for 5yrs now and all through he has never kept 5naira and I collect it. I have his atm pins too. But you see the moment I'm going to the market, odiegwu, Oga must top money ooo. It's already known fa, so we don't discuss it even. He will just go "oya take your apriko money" while I go "thank you Sir". Make ah hear say ino collect. Him go ffg me go hustle and bustle inside market ni? Odiegwu!

Giddyperson, just to encourage you more.
I wrote a 3-day professional exam when my baby was 5wks old in another state. I didn't know about breast pump and all then and I hadn't registered on nl, the only time I read and understand is at night. Was it easy? Mba! I remember running out of the exam hall with a security guy in tow to go br.eastfeed my baby, I was crying. Everyone except my mom advised me to defer the exam but my mom made me understand that the best time was then and I thank God I listened to her cos look at me now na , I don't even have energy to type on my phone . My result came out perfect. You don't know how strong and determined you can be until being strong and determined is all you've got left. You can do it!

babythug:
Happy Saturday everybody! Trust we are all good? To those who got some kpekus,how una dey? To we who didn't get tonight is another opportunity to try lol
I thought of something this morning and felt we could all discuss it! I've recently* developed a habit of inflating bills for hubby and sometimes "embezzling" the said monies! I do it sometimes because I need extra cash which I don't want to ask for and sometimes just for the fun of it and because he's my Husband!
Anyway I got busted and he involved some third parties who of course really scandalized the whole matter and I really was embarrassed and it seemed like it was a totally unheard of thing ie for a wife to chop her husband's money!
I always felt if caught it would be settled under the "I'm your wife -diplomatic immunity"!
What are your thoughts? Was it sooooooo bad of me?

Awww, you know the kind of dh you have ma. Me I do it wella, I collect my apriko money with joy, learnt it from my mil. I do it with every purchase. I do it for the fun of it and because I have bailed us out on severally occasions with said apriko money, my dh doesn't really frown at it. With this recession, I had to reduce the amount I inflate drastically. This one that he involved third party (don't be surprised say na dem do pass ), well, water don pass garri oo. How I resolve most issues with my dh is by playfully telling him, it hasn't never failed me, maybe you can try that. Also like hunniesuzie said, goan learn new kpekus styles. Sorry mammy. We are with you in the spirit .

HolySteph:
Thank you mama. The generator thought won't even cross my mind again. I've learnt my lessons already. Yh the TT injection I'll just be watching it. The good nurse (I won't call her useless) didn't wipe the blood with the cotton wool when she was done. Said there was no blood. When she left and I was about leaving the hospital I noticed the blood. Chai I just couldn't climb back upstairs. I had to allow the blood dry off to I can use the tip of my nail to take it off because of the fear of rubbing the spot. I don't know if its why the injection tip is protruding out. I'm also kind of worried it has gotten infected because of the blood I allowed to dry up... I hope not.

I don't think that is the case. Maybe the thing wan just do like dah. I don't know if you can use ice to bring down the protruding or just let it be. Sabi mamas will soon guide you ok. Hang in there.

HolySteph
Sis, sorry ok. Please don't pull generator rope again oo. You no get neighbours around? Use preggy spirit engage dem to pull for you next time ok. I get away with soo many things cos I'm pregnant .
Hope you didn't rub the injection site. Tt injection is bìtchy like that ok. It will soon go down .

NIFES:
Good morning all beautiful mamas in the house and happy weekend.
I know I haven't been active in the thread but I must say that I have learnt quite a lot by coming here and I have grown quite addicted to the chats and banters amongst mamas. It calms my mind .
I envy the preggy mamas here with the way they carry their bumps with so much fun and excitement .
I really wish to do that too but fear is silently killing me cos of past experience of loosing twin babies at birth.
Please my fellow mamas, I apologies if my post puts anybody off but kindly remember me in your prayers that afflictions shall not arise again in my life and at the end of this journey God gives me beauty for past ashes.
I feel comfortable sharing this with fellow mamas here and I hope i am more welcome once again.
Thanks and God bless you and all your little ones.

It is well with you sis. Affliction cannot rise a second time, you are more than victorious. Let go of your fear so it doesn't rid you off the joy of having your babe in your arms. Keep smiling ok .

Angel2424:

Good day mamas
Rant time

I cried yesterday in church ehn because of contractions. I woke in the morning very energized, prepared for church, ate,did fine makeup and snapped plenty pishures not knowing I was going to ruin the makeup with tears. After normal Sunday school my body was doing me somehow but I still stayed till praise time, when I was dancing if you see the sharp pain I felt ehn chai!!!!..
I called our pastor's wife outside and she took me to the car to rest, na then the contraction even come start wella . I started crying oh forgetting makeup and fine girl oh, she had to call our church doctor out of the service for him to check me.
He examined me then drove to his house to bring sabultamol and paracetamol for me. After taking the drugs I rested for another half an hour before going back to the church. Yesterday was really somehow for me

Hi my cute teamie, how are you feeling now? Please go to the hospital and have yourself checked by your Gynae, cos this your contraction dey do me somehow. It will surely end in praise, Amen.

Cappo Pweetiebabe, Amen to that wonderful prayer. It will be easy for us all, Amen.

heroinqc:
@Twogreatnations thank u, i dont know poroporo. But will cook the garden egg leaf veggie or can it also be taken as juice with milk?

I purged seriously when I juiced it with peak condensed milk, as in serious purging that took me to the hospital. I don't know if that was the cause or something else but I strongly suspect it. Since that time, I have bought it and eaten it like that twice and I didn't react to it. So my dear, I will advice you move with caution. Thankchu .

Princ.esskf and other mamafresh with cute babies, weldone mamas

Congrats Tren.dytessy and all mamas that have put to bed. May God bless your babies. Amen.

Mamas please come to my aid. For some days now, I noticed my palms and fingers, especially the right one, are usually numb when I wake up in the morning. It's very terrible during the day and relieves me by evening. Some days are worse, some days are better. While it lasts, my hands are almost useless. I can't grip anything, can't type, can't lift anything even a satchet of water, I basically can't use my palms and fingers without wincing. Getting out of bed this morning was a battle, the numbness was crazy. I didn't know it was Carpal tunnel syndrome until I Googled it this afternoon. Mamas who have gone through this Carpal Tunnel stuff, please how did you manage this? Of all the pregnancy symptoms I have experienced, this is the worst, it is very terrible. Mamas abeg, put mouth for this matter.

Awww sis, welcome to my world. I don't think there is any remedy for it, you just have to wait it out. This too shall pass .
