My sister, my baby was 3kg at 34 weeks, so don't stress yasef. These are estimates. 4 weeks later and baby is 3.5kg. I still dey wait to born am sha, but I trust God.

This is a relief. Thank you mama

Hello Sabi mamas, I need your inputs

According to LMP, I’m 32 weeks but scan indicated that I’m 34 weeks and my baby is 2.6kg

I’m anxious to know what the overal weight will be at due date?? Sigh

Can’t even limit my food intake because I’m always hungry

32 weeks and I still take cold water, that’s the only temperature I can intake. Please is it harmful to my baby at this point or I should stop,

bimberry1307:

Go with your LMP dear. It's the most reliable. Scan will give you date according to baby's measurements/ weight. I have 3 different Edds from 3 different scans. The first one I did around 9 weeks gave me 14 August, the second around 17wks gave me 22 which is the same as my LMP. I did the third scan at 28wks and I got 1st of August as my EDD. Isn't that amazing? Relax, baby will come at God's appointed time. Just make sure your bag is ready by 1st of August.

Thanks Cappo. I don’t really use my routine drugs because it’s a lot and nauseates me. I focus on pregnacare, folic acid and ferrous
Hope me not using routine drugs won’t affect my baby?

bimberry1307:
Pls help a sister. I've been having this nagging headache for two days now. I took PCM, still the same. Sabi mamas in the house, pls help.

This happened to me, check for malaria or typhoid

I need answers please, I’m a first time mom. According to my LMP I’m 31 weeks but according to the scan I did recently I’d be 33 weeks on Friday. Which do I follow?

Plus my edd keep changing with every scan I do at close intervals tho. But I’m fully prepared with baby items
I’m already having Braxton-Hicks

@bimberry @pearl05 @4realwoman I need responses pleass

I’m 28 weeks gone, what can I do? Is this even normal. It’s like I want to grow a tooth

Ayaoye:
Congratulations to all mamas that have birthed their Los..... GOD bless them and your household..... August mamas how body,,, the laziness these days is on another level for me. Like play like play we have about 3 months to go.

Mamas in the house, How are we and our LOs? My bellefull August mamas, how is the ministry going? Just checking in on us o.

Heartburn no free me o. Don't know what to do. Plus my fingers, elbow, knees and toes are peeling like someone that is changing skin. I've not experienced this before.

Abeg has anyone heard from patking? How is she holding up? My prayers are with you.

To every other person yet to offload, may God Almighty see us through.

God help us. My face itches a lot and it’s a struggle not to scratch it. When I do I always have marks. Leg cramps and back ache are my companion. Glad I’m already in the final trimester

angeltolly:


Guinea corn stalk with milk is effective. Your routine drug too should be taken religiously.

You have no cause to worry about baby weight, your baby is just 1kg at 27 weeks, am not sure you expect less. Just eat healthy and let baby grow accordingly.

Thank you!

I've always loved to go natural. I used original olive oil mixed with coconut and palm karnel oil and a little of sun flower oil. That's what I intend to use for this one too. Note original olive oil o.

I’m planning to use Aveeno products, fellow sabi mamas how good is it? It’s quite pricey so I won’t waste money

Hello fellow August mamas, hope it’s easy for us? Still not done with shopping. Everything is expensive and I can’t go to Eko market

Really excited that finally we are moving to our last trimester. More strength �

[quote author=mummychimaobi1 post=89112664][/quote]

Cappo please update... XY. I can’t wait to meet my Prince Charming

Finally started shopping in bits, already ticking the hospital items. Fellow August mamas, how una dey?

I’m trying so hard not to waste money on what I won’t need but it’s hard as a first timer. Can someone kindly make a list of unnecessary items

Ayaoye:
Congratulations to all mamas that have given birth. Your joy will know no end.... Loves and kisses to them little cuties.

Abeg August mamas how are we doing..... Hope baby is kicking very well and you have started shopping? No I haven't shop o . But come to think of it, one has to be minimal in spending this time o, the Coro issue is causing a lot of things and the news headline these days ain't really nice, Nigeria might stop production of oil and according to WHO, covid 19 might stay for a long time (but God has the final say) wish there could be an e seminar to discuss this for pregnant women and new mums. Just saying.

Hey teamie, the news are not encouraging. I haven’t started shopping as well. Prolly next month.

katchycouture:


Yes jobi is good, good reviews come from there, try and register with the general hospital too as their services are top notch, ignore their attitude and you will be fine

Thank you

Please anyone familiar with Jobi Hospital Ikorodu, how good is their service because I registered my ANC there.

I really want the best treatment

Good evening fabulous mamas, I finally started ANC today tho the lockdown delayed it. I was given so many drugs sigh. I’d just stick to pregnacare

Is it advisable? I need replies please

Mummy4life1:

@35weeksplus

@May Cappo: Please take note

Congratulations mama, Glory be to God.

davsquared:
Okay, here goes my BS.

PRE-PREGNANCY

I had always wanted to have 3 kids but my DH prayed for 2. God blessed us with 2 boys and oga said , no more. Efforts to convince him otherwise, failed and was causing unnecessary quarrels. By beginning of last year when my last baby was to turn 3 and he wasn't forthcoming, Me sef kukuma bone the matter , adjusted and happily moved on with life.

Early August 2019, I was feeling kinda off so i went to the lab to do Typhoid and Malaria test make I know which drugs to buy. Entered restroom in the lab there to ease myself and from the corner of my eye, saw one old pregnancy strip test inside my purse. Dunno which spirit told me to bring it out and play with it before disposing. Obeyed the spirit and I saw two lines immediately!
People of God, I froze! Chim ooo! How manage? I started racking my brain. How can this be? Started calculating and noted that my period was due in 3 days time. Ok, let's do blood test. Shey na Lab I dey?

Left the restroom and told the lab guys to include pregnancy test. Result came out and I saw pregnancy "positive". Didnt even bother with what Malaria and Typhoid were again.
Snapped both strip and result and sent to DH. Long story short, belle don enter and that was that. Ironically, for someone who had ' fought' for another pikin, I couldn't muster up excitment about the news (God pls forgive me). Meanwhile, DH was ecstatic.

PREGNANCY STORY

MS started in earnest. At 5wks, I was already down to the familiar misery i had previous times. Sick feeling, constant weakness, nausea etc. Ulcer came up ten fold. Gestid, Gaviscon, Polycid, Pepcid, name it, none relieved me. I was miserable. Around 8weeks, I came to the hospital to complain as I was fearing ectopic cos of how horrible I felt. Scan said baby was positioned well but Sonographer asked if i was bleeding and was surprised I said no. Turns out i had small Subchorionic Haematoma(SCH). Like blood clots. I was advised to be careful, no bikes, stay off sex and I tried the much I could to obey.

At 11 weeks, wiped after peeing one day and saw blood while at work. My heart skipped! Rushed to the hospital and was admitted and managed for like 4 days then placed on bed rest for a week . Me wey no dey near hospital till 18 weeks to register for antenatal before became customer. I was required to take weekly duphaston injection till 16 weeks which I did. Bleeding resolved afterwards and SCH eventually disappeared. All was fine. MS left around week 20. I also started having Braxton Hicks contraction as early as 19wks or so.

Given my history of big babies(1st :4.58kg, 2nd: 4.2kg) I was doing all I could to make baby less than 4kg. Avoid carbs, eat veggies, drink Lipton, etc. My prayer point was actually to have a 3.8kg baby. Pregnancy progressed, kept feeling heavier by the day and my waka really changed cos of the pressure down there. At 33wks, scan showed baby at 2.6kg and I became a little depressed. After all my sacrifice and starvation! . Truth is , I knew mine had to do with genetics but it didnt stop me from wishing/trying.
37wks 2days, another scan showed 4.5kg. . At this point, even after considering my previous births, CS was advised. I was not against it but cos I travelled out, the cost implication of that was part of what I considered. Eventually I said "Let your will be done Lord " and mentally prepped myself for Scheduling CS from 39wks as advised.
Met with a Nigerian OBGYN on one of my antenatal visits and she offered to do a membrane sweep at 38wks 4days after noting that I was already dilated to 2cm for past 2 visits. (Note that I had done membrane sweep during my last pregnancy and after 72hrs, I went into Labour so I was working with that in mind). She did it around 11am on April 2nd and I went home.

LABOUR & DELIVERY

Later that day, I was experiencing light contractions but cos of my close friendship with Braxton Hicks all along, I didn't feel it was the main thing. While lying down i suddenly heard a pop sound, stood up immediately and my water poured out. I got myself cleaned up and placed a pad. Before I knew it , I had soaked through 3 pads and contractions really began . They were about 3mins apart. This was like past 4pm. Called the doctors office to let them know my water broke and I was advised to head to the hospital. I first balance chop food first for the work ahead

5:30pm or so: Got to the hospital., I was still able to endure the pain .

6:10pm : Got checked and I was 6cm gone.They strapped the monitors on me to monitor baby and I. I actually hate labouring while lying down so the restriction was not nice for me. They offered me a bouncing ball to aid labour and i started bouncing on it. When contractions hit, I bounce and use deep breathing exercises to pull through. Kept praying to God to open my cervix and pelvis so baby can be delivered with ease and not get stuck as the OBGYN feared cos of the size. I also remembered an excerpt of Beyedew BS "I labour, not for long; I give birth with ease..." and prayed with those words.

7 :20pm : Looked at the time and realised I had been bouncing for over an hour. I was like God abeg do a miracle, I want to give birth before 8pm. Stood up from the ball to pee and all of a sudden I forgot how to breathe through the contractions. The technique literally flew outta the window. I called for the nurse to check me cos the pain was unmanageable and i felt like pooing .i
In my hysteria I knocked off the line they set for IV in case..

7:40pm: Got checked and was 9cm. Nurse said I had a little bit of cervix lip left and I remember same thing happening in my previous pregnancies. I Laid on my left side and lifted up the right leg on the stirrups to get it out of the way. Of course by this time, I was pretty much consumed by the pain and was beginning to push involuntarily. Doctor was called in and the pushing began . Pushed through 3 contractions with all my strength and he was out, crying in ajebo tone . Born exactly 7:54pm . Oh what relief!!!
I was just thanking God.

Miraculously doctor looked through and said there were no tears. I almost wept for joy here. Couldn't believe my ears cos that was part of my fears. Me that was cut horrendously with my first( it even required restitching) and had 2 stitches with my 2nd. It was just God. Baby weighed 4.53kg and they all kept screaming..

At the end of the day God showed himself strong as it was His will that prevailed. We are home now and bonding fine.

Family is complete and I handover boots to all TTC /ATC sisters. The Lord will surprise you greatly.

Cappo PatKing, BS submitted.
April teamies , go forth and give birth with ease. Safe delivery everyone

Congratulations sis. May your newborn be a source of blessings

Fellow moms, is it bad taking cold water in pregnancy because that’s the only thing I can take down and satisfying?

Everyone keep complaining that I should stop so it won’t affect my baby

March Mommas really hoard their BS stories o, we really need your stories
