You gave birth at 33 weeks plus? May the lord be praised . This is wow. Congratulations once again!

thanks. this is actually my third preterm baby. the previous two was 27 weeks. though, I lost one while the other one is 5 years now. doctors cannot pinpoint what's wrong

continuation

later, she came to where I was lying down and said no they can't manage it rather she will give me an injection that will stop the contractions and refer me to Enugu state. this was around 3pm. I jejely carry myself and went home. on getting home, I took my bath and said let me rest small. my husband called and said they are looking for my Mil. I dragged myself out and sat outside the gate in case she decide to trace her way home ( she is suffering from dementia and tends to wander around if nobody is around her). I was feeling on and off pains and decide to go inside and prepare dinner. I could not, I was having this urge to poo, I will enter the toilet and come out. I called DH that I'm going back to the hospital to sleep there I can't bear the pains I'm passing through. he said I should meet him outside. I just changed my clothes and carry my small handbag ( for my mind, if they need anything he should come and get them at home), Immediately we reached the hospital, DH wanted to go and call the nurse to bring wheelchair but I was already behind him.
on getting there, I climbed the bed. the nurse was like, but we have already referred you to another hospital nah. I told her, nurse, I want to poo. she checked and screamed, that I should poo. with just a push, my baby was out screaming his lungs out weighing 2.3kg. no hospital bag, no baby clothing, no nothing. DH was just confused.
all in all I give God the glory. the drama too plenty.
swift delivery to all the waddling Mamma's, we shall all testify. to those that couldn't make it to the finishing line, God will give you double and affliction shall not rise again.

cc October/November cappo

BS! BS!! BS!!!
it's now or never.
we lived together with my husband bil and his family. he is more like a FIL to us.
early this year, he felt sick and was in and out of the hospital. March 10th, he died and that was when I remembered my period. I thought it was due to stress because I was not trying. fast forward to April 17th, I lost my dad and also my uncle in May.
first trimester, I had eye problem, headache, fever, all sorts of sickness including excessive saliva but no vomiting.
second trimester, the only problem I had was still excessive saliva and my hatred for sugary things even if it's fruits.
by 27th weeks, I traveled for my dad and uncle burial in September, I spent more than 3 weeks before going back to my base. before I left to my base, DH said I should make sure I checked for ntutu ( those in the East knows what I'm talking about) and they removed 6 from my body.
problem started on Sunday the 2nd of October when I was strolling with my kids, I noticed that something was coming out from my body before you know it I was soaked. went home and called DH and explain everything to him. he asked his friend to take me to the hospital, on getting there, the doctor on call refused to pick his call, nobody to tend to me. the nurse on duty said she will keep me there till the next day. I refused and went home but DH sent me back to the hospital again where I was given dexamethasone and normal saline.
the doctor came the next day and demand I go for scan and it was reading 38 weeks against 33 weeks. the doctor said I don't know when I saw my menses last and placed me on bedrest since I was not dilating. I told him that I'm going home to rest since the next day is my anc.
on Tuesday, a friend said something like that happened to her and her mom helped her to hold the pregnancy till her due date. I followed her to her mom place. on getting there, I found out she is a prophetess. she said the person behind my problem is my MIL, she is a witch and bla bla bla, I should send her out of my home. she said lots of things. that she will help me but I have to stay with her and I will put to bed in her house. to cut long story short, I ran. my MIL that is like a mother to me when she was healthy is now a witch because she is suffering from dementia. I ran and didn't look back.
Wednesday the 5th, I decided to go to another hospital because the one I registered with is general hospital and they didn't have gynecologists. on getting to the hospital, one of the nurses convinced me to register with them, after pleading, I accept. their obstetrician checked me and said that I'm actually 33 weeks +. I complained that I was having mild construction she checked and said that she didn't feel any contractions but I'm already 2cm that she will place me on bed rest and drugs to manage it

sunbestie:
Officially bowing out from d race... I lost the pregnancy and had d evacuation done yesterday.

Safe delivery to all waddling mamas here.. it must surely end in praise.amen.

e-hugs to you sis, it's well

Omobithousand:
Quick one...is it normal to see the slimey stuff and no contraction though I'm due....doc said we should wait till 41 weeks
Please is this normal

yes, that's how mine started

glimpse33:
Hello,

I want to know if your baby required oxygen or had difficulties eating after he was born at 33weeks?

no oxygen, no breathing difficulties. what we are battling now is jaundice. the hospital is not well equipped for premature babies. we are just managing like that. as for feeding, he sucks directly and I also expressed to feed him.

sugarcoatted:
I just want to rant small, not pregnancy related.

Someone please tell me if i am just being paranoid because i am really really upset. My brother inlaw, hubby's elder bro is fond of visiting unannounced. By visiting unannounced, i mean he will just show up at the door without informing anyone. I will give some instances. There was a time DH wasnt around, same as me but i was closer. Dh just called me to say his bro was waiting outside i should go open door for him. I was like, did he inform you he was coming he said no he just called to say he was outside. I just said i have tp finish what i was doing first before going anywhere, you cant show up on a work day knowing fully well we are supposed to be at work and expect me to rush home to go host you. When its not like something brought you, just regular visit. Hubby had to tell him to atleast inform us ahead next time. He now changed the pattern

Sometime in august, he came with his wife and their 5kids on one fateful sunday like that. We were informed when they were already almost at the house, no jokes. These people arrived with a ghana-must-go bag, to stay till tuesday. Meaning they already had it planned out. What stopped you from pre-informing your hosts biko? How do you expect us to feed extra 7 mouths without planning for it? They had to manage what we had as there was nowhere to start looking for what to buy to cook for them.

3rd scenerio is now. On Thursday evening this past week before my husband came home, he called to inform me that his bro just called that he was on his way to our house. I said ok no problem. He sha arrived. Later on, hubby said i shouldnt worry about it that he said he only came to 'stretch his legs' so he expects him to leave the next day. I said no problem. Only for me to realize oga came with a travel bag meaning it wasnt a day's visit. Later that thursday, their mum called to say the guy came to look for work. Like i dont even get it, first of all, you didnt preinform us of your visit, secondly we dont even have enough space for we that live in the house, not to talk of an extra person. Dh is obviously not happy but would be busy pretending everything is fine. On friday, dh came home 11pm which hardly ever happens. Yesterday he didn't leave the room all day, even to eat he ate in the room. When i asked if he wont go and atleast talk with the bro, he said its unfortunate he cant help him. So its me you will now leave your problems for to deal with?

Baby is coming this month, and i cant accomodate any extra person that has absolutely no contribution to make for me or my baby. We live in a 2bedroom flat, the 2nd room my daughter sleeps there with my 32yr old sis inlaw that lives with us. My mother inlaw will come once i put to bed, plus the new baby. So please where is this man supposed to stay? Btw, he is over 40.

A little about him, he came back from SA during that xenophobia period with nothing and has been trying to find his feet. He has 5children, the first is 22. Unfortunately, after they got back him and the wife made some wrong financial decisions that they lost even the funds raised for them after they got back. He is a tailor, this was what he has been doing since i have known him. Anyway, the wife got tired and left with all the kids in september. So he was all alone, he cant cook or anything. So he cannot really cope on his own.

My hubby likes his privacy so much and i know if this same scenario is from my end, it would have been a big issue. So why do i have to tolerate what he would never take? And the fact that everyone else sees it as normal because he is 'family' annoys me. Before someone would turn me to something else. Because if i decide to act mean now, someone will term me wicked and unreasonable. Yet you will see what is right and not do it. I'm really so upset

very tough to handle. I'm this type of person that can't expressed myself without crying. since he's family as you said, they are waiting for your outburst. don't go extra mile trying to please anyone.

Woow!!! Who did this Jesus oh my God...... Congratulations darling teamie, xoxo happy it ended in praise and welcome prince charming, you are for signs and wonders in Jesus name

thanks, we shall all testify

cinderellashoes:
Wow! Congratulations mama

thanks, we await your testimony

BA! BA!! BA!!!,
I welcome my second prince charming today at 6:25pm. weighing 2.3kg at 33 weeks 4days. November Mama's, I don port ooooo

cinderellashoes:
I'll say look for an hospital around who has such unit just to be prepared or find out if the hospital they will refer you to is nearby. I pray baby stays until 38/39 weeks. Don't worry, rest well and use your medications. Also, drink enough water and do regular scan to check up on the level of amniotic fluid.

thanks

Bennytwin:
Sorry dearie. Let them check well if the quantity of amniotic fluid remaining is enough to sustain the baby. If not,then i will advise cs unfortunately. 33+ weeks baby usually does well. Some might not even need incubator.
But if everything is ok,then pls remain on bed rest till at least 37 and u can be induced. All the best dear

thanks

cinderellashoes:
Hi mama, sorry about the situation. God is in control. Babies born from 34 weeks to 37 weeks do very well and only a few of them needs a short term NICU stay.

These are what you should be concerned about:

1. Does your hospital have a neonatal unit in case baby has to come a bit early?

2. Are there doctors always available in case you need to do an emergency CS or an elective one?

. no neonatal unit here ooooo. the last time I have such experience was 5 years ago, and I was referred to a different state. though, I had CS. the baby was 27 weeks old. I was pregnant again in 2019, the baby reach full term and was normal delivery. in this pregnancy, I was so careful, hubby helping with chores but I don't know what is happening

Goldie50:
In the absence of infection and fetal distress, doctors will rather delay your delivery if you are below 37 weeks old. They do this for the baby to grow well. But, if there's infection or threat to the baby, they'll quickly do the delivery. So, work closely with your doctor. Draining of amniotic fluid is a serious case. If they're not giving you satisfactory feedback, go to another hospital ASAP. All the best mama.

thanks, will check another hospital tomorrow

Pweetiebabe:
Babe don't let people put fear in ur mind o, just continue with your bed rest, take ur drugs and drink plenty water....Let hope and pray baby will stay till 38weekks ....You are in my prayers teamie

amen, thanks

good morning Sabi Mama's, please I need help/advise. I'm 33weeks+. on Sunday, around 6pm, when I was strolling with my kids I noticed that my water was draining. went to the hospital and was given dexamethasone and normal saline drip. the doctor could not tend to me till the next day when I did scan and it was reading 38 weeks. no pains or whatsoever just draining once in a while. I was placed basically on bed rest till when I'm due. my question, is they anything else I can do to stop the draining? ( though, I. was placed on antibiotics) people kept saying that it's dangerous to put to birth by the 8th month. but Google is saying otherwise. I really need encouragement

present. chai, my laziness is top notch. in all my pregnancy, this is the most tiring. I have not buy even pin but will do so soonest. in everything, we give God the glory

voucher:
I’m not sure you should be worried, doctors always work with LMP, scan can do oversabi.. I’m 33 weeks today too and as at 31 weeks my baby was 2.6kg and Edd changed to October too but doctor said he doesn’t have any business with scan that we’re working with LMP..

thanks a lot, make my mind rest

Blessedmum:
Your baby's weight is what is pushing your Edd backward, most hospitals work with LMP Edd and not scan own. But there is possibility of you porting to October. May God make it easy for us all.

thanks for your input

cinderellashoes:
No worries here, just be ready for the possibility of porting to October.

thanks, just that the gap is much abi na too much feeding cause am

good afternoon Sabi Mama's, I'm 33 weeks today, decide to go for scan also and was measuring 38 weeks full term. baby is measuring 2.79kg already. according to LMP and first scan, my Edd is 18/21 November while today EDD is 13 October. I'm just confused, I don't know what to think because the gap is much. should I be worried?
