Thanks mama, it ended in a miscarriage

So so sorry for your loss mama. God will visit you soonest. Be strong

glimpse:
I will never forget this quote from one mama here. ..." It took your tummy 9 months to protrude and you want it to go down in 1 month?" Please be nice to the tummy and do not get yourself worked out for nothing.

Meanwhile, I drank warm water and hot fluids (pepper soup, tea) for over 1 month after I had my first child.

I know mama. It's just that I feel I stopped too early then started drink old water. I dont know if drinking warm water again will still help.

MNDE18:
A month... Mama please don't stress yourself out. Just keep doing what you can to help the tummy go down but don't stress about It.

A years after I gave birth, it still looked like I was preggy. I was feeling self-conscious at first but later got over it, sebi na born I born.

It just came down lastyear not like it's flat sef.


Point is: please take your time and do what works for you. 1month is still too fast for you to worry about.

Kisses to your baby. Rest well. Take enough fluids.

Thanks mama. I'm really conscious now

Please o mamas, its a month now since I gave birth and my tummy is not yet down. I massaged, tied it and drank warm water for 2 weeks. What should I do please?

Krystalluv:
An interesting BS. I love your BS mama. Thank God for safe delivery. I felt I was with you in the hospital. Congratulations once more.

Thanks mama

senoraaquila:

Joydan95:

I'm experiencing same. Please help. Any remedy?

Joydan95:
My baby had same reaction problem so the doctor advised we switch to Johnson baby bar soap and Vaseline. It cleared out in two days

Thanks mama. He doesn't have any reactions, just that he seems to be getting dark.

Long post alert. Grab your zobo and puff puff

So dh and I got married in Dec, 2019 and I took in instanta. At 12 weeks in March when we went to register for antenatal, it was discovered I had missed miscarriage. (the baby stopped developing at week . I cried my eyes out but DH was strong for me. So we evacuated. My birthday was the following day. I was in so much pain that night, dh brought my gift and sang for me, we didn't sleep that night. The next day being my bday, he bought me cake and insisted I had a photoshoot. Worst birthday everrrr.

Got my period in April. Dh and I started calculating my ovulations. Baby dancing was more for baby than fun so dh was really not having it nice. Sometimes he'll find it difficult to get up, other times he won't just c*m. Arghh! Frustrating. After my period in July, I decided to not tell him about my next period or ovulation. He kept asking but i didnt say. Then baby dancing was great fun mostly initiated by yours truly especially around my ovulation. August came, I missed my period, tested the next day and boom 2 straight, shining beautiful lines were smiling at me and i smiled back. So the 9 months journey began.

FIRST TRIMESTER
First trimester was smooth. I slept alot the first few weeks, threw up when brushing and had headaches. But I had a lot of fears and worry because of the previous experience. Few days after my bfp, I spotted and ran to the hospital, found out it was implantation bleeding. Did my first scan at 8 weeks, was told there was no fetal pole but there was movement. That night I no sleep. Dh kept encouraging me and I kept researching. Later, I felt my boobs were no longer full and tender, so I went back to the hospital and asked for progesterone test which was declined by my hmo saying everything was ok with me. I started crying o. Dh was still there for me. Finally my linear nigra started showing and my tummy started bulging. Like that first trimester passed.

SECOND TRIMESTER was easy and great. I was full of energy. It was only with my bulging tummy i remembered I was pregnant.

THIRD TRIMESTER I had thought 3rd trimester would be hard but it was so easy and smooth. I had really big tummy and it never stopped me from doing anything.

DELIVERY
I saw my mucus plug on the Monday when I wiped. Went for antenatal on Tuesday and told the doc about it. I was 39+ and was really praying and hoping to deliver before my due date. I told him I had hoped that would be my last antenatal and he said hopefully. On Wednesday morning I saw some water when I got up from the bed and i knew it was my water.

That night 29th April at about 1am contractions started, I couldn't sleep. I didnt wake dh up but started timing but it was irregular. Dh is an early riser, so when he woke up by 4am he noticed i was in pain and asked that we went to the hospital but I told him we should wait. I did the dishes and some other things before we left by 6:30. V.E was done and I was 2cm. Because of the fluid I was loosing i had to be admitted. I tried walking, climbing stairs to help with dilation. For where? I was checked like 3 more times yet I was still at 2cm. I made a mistake going that early. I was actually worried because of my water. You see those 2 fingers ehn! Plus the doctor is fat you need to see his fingers. I told him his fingers were too big. contractions increased at night but was not still regular. I still couldn't sleep. I don't know how some people sleep between contractions o. Chai! Contractions were supposed to push lo down, but mine stayed obviously up. My mum even noticed lol.

In the morning dh and SIL brought me bread and tea before I could eat, I was whisked away to the labour room. That was when the real real deal started. They checked that morning, i was still at 2cm. I almost cried. He kept monitoring the contractions. Later they placed misopristol under my tongue. Contractions doubled with very little
breaks in between. They kept checking lo's heart rate and my progress unfortunately, I wasn't progressing. By afternoon, I was barely 4cm. They broke my water. Later, the nurse said i had urine in my bladder, so they removed it. They fixed drip for me, the nurse said it was water. Contractions were still the same, dilation was still the same. Later they added oxytocin. That sh*t was mad o. I had thought contractions were strong with misopristol, with oxytocin? Well, i can't describe. It was back to back, no breaks. I moved from holding the bed frames to holding dh. I find latter helped better. When contractions come, I'll clench his shit, or bite hard on his sleeves. The doctor was like I should not bite him o, they can't 2 emergencies at the same time lol. At 7/8 cm I started asking for Cs o. By the time I was 8cm, I asked for epidural but they said it was late that those that ask for it usually do so ahead of delivery or at most before 6cm and they don't just ask patients because of the cos na I hear 170k. Inside my contractions I shouted WHAT? They did VE for God knows how many times and it will look like they are trying to expand my cervix with fingers. So painful. They always asked if I felt like pushing or pooing. When I felt like pooing, they said i should go ahead. Omo I started releasing the thing. When I was done, I was told to push when I have contractions. The doctor told me to push with the pain and look at my tummy. The bed head side was elevated which really helped as I could see my tummy with ease. What I couldn't do was holding my ankles. I felt better holding the bed head side frame.

I just kept pushing when contractions came without even being asked. When the baby's head didn't pass through, they had to cut me. They told me that moment was very critical and I should keep pushing. I pushed hard and long and kept pushing, then the baby's head came out. With few more pushing, my baby came out at 5:17pm. Immediately, he was placed on my chest. The feeling is out of this world. Before being carried for Cleaning. After being cleaned he was placed on my chest. I had a little skin-to-skin moment with him. The placenta was delivered then I was stitched and cleaned up. They gave my a drug that made me shiver and we were then taken to our room.

I wish every preggy mum safe delivery and sprinkle baby dust on every gtc mum. I'll be back soon.

Good morning mamas. My baby is almost a month and I've been using coconut oil on him but I don't like what I'm seeing. Please what good cream and soap can I use?

Dedewizzy:
Kindly permit me to deviate a bit from pregnancies as I need to celebrate this here.

Today makes it a year since I welcomed my Prince and Joy giver to the world (quoted Birth Story was shared here on this thread this day last year). Indeed God has been faithful towards us as the past 365days has been fun filled with this my young man.

The journey of ttc started in 2018 after marriage, the last thing I ever expected was to look for a child. Fought several battles from infection, to ovarian cyst, to irregular menstruation, to low sperm count, spent Hundreds of thousands trying to conceive. To cut the long story short in September 2020 I went to work as an adhoc staff in my states election, I was already 4 days late on my period before traveling to the village I was posted to officiate , I didn't see being late as anything cos I've been 5 and 6 days late yet disappointed before so I travelled with my sanitary pad. After the election and returning home I discovered I was having a fever I complained to DH and he was like probably it's the stress from the election process coupled with the fact that I slept outside a public school field. The night of my arrival from the election, DH was trying to help me arrange my bag I came home with and noticed I didn't use my sanitary pad, he asked and I told him I just noticed that I didn't see my period. Next day I told him I needed to treat malaria but he insisted I take a pregnancy test first he bought me test strips that turned positive for the first time after ttc for 2 years. And so the journey to mother hood started . First trimester was a smooth sail apart from heart burn and constipation no morning sickness or nausea what so ever. Second trimester was the smoothest sail, I could eat and sleep with ease, third trimester came with sleeplessness and waist pain.

On Sunday 2nd of May I had two contractions at night By dawn of Monday the pain started coming and going with very irregular timing sometimes 1hr, 30 mins, 2hrs in-between, I went to the salon to make my hair yet the contraction kept on coming and going . I called my matron and she told me to come in for checking by 2pm the following day considering that my EDD was still 10 days away. Then night came ooohh God of heaven the contraction became intense and I started going to the toilet to poo with heavy contractions..after going to the toilet 3 times within 6 contractions in two hours , by 1am I called my matron again, she asked if the contraction were close in timing? I said NO, if they were 5-15 mins apart? I said NO, if I had seen my water? I said NO, if I had seen my mucus plug? I said NO... She still said "owk just watch out for those signs you can come in by morning let me check you".. the next time I had a contraction that made me go to the toilet by 2:13am , I checked and I saw a transparent mucus with blood stain, I didn't bother to call my matron back ,I just made up my mind to wait till morning. After seeing the plug, the pains intensified and I couldn't sit or stand through the contraction anymore. If I was standing, the pains would bring me to my kneel.. I continued bearing the pain till 4:30am I went to wake hubby to get ready I needed to go cos the pains were becoming unbearable. By 5am we were out of the house the drive to the hospital was 35 mins as free as the road was. I had three heavy contractions with pains that spread from my back lower waist to the front during the drive. When we got to the hospital I couldn't move my legs to come down from the car. When the pains reduced I quickly came down and tried my best to walk into the hospital. My BP was checked, then the matron came in with gloved hands around 5: 58am to check me, she inserted her hands and the next thing she was giving instructions to the two nurses with her on what and what to bring. She told me to try and climb the delivery bed then I asked " please ma how many CM?" She answered you're 6cm. I was left there to go through 3 more excruciating contractions by 6:15 am she came in to check again, as she put her hands in she said " you're 8cm, stay still I want to rupture your membrane" then I felt hot gush of water flow out" the pain of contraction that followed made me tear the hospital pillow with my teeth, Then it was time to push.. it was difficult to push through the pain, I couldn't even keep my legs up. I pushed through 5 contractions in total and my baby was out by 6:56am by my husband's check weighing 3.9kg with no tears just a minor bruise. The pains made the time so long I thought it was even 7 or 8am.

God be Praised
He changed my status free of charge

BS BS BS

I have been ttc after my last child, but no show, so I decided to stop trying and reduce my weight a bit cus I was weighing 97kg..surprisenly the following month I missed my period, na so pregnancy enter oo.

Through out the first trimester it was hell for me, I hardly eat, sometimes a day will pass without eating, in fact the Ms was terrible..
Fast forward to second and third trimester , I enjoyed the bump no more sickness.. Until when I went to antenatal and my pb was 140/100...but with my previous pregnancies it's usually 110 or 120..

At 39 weeks I checked my bp in a pharmacy and it was 180/90...
I quickly rushed to the hospital it was around 7 pm... The doctor checked and said my bp was high... So he said since am due, that I have to be induced... He gave me some drugs for the bp and also a bottle of Castor oil, he said I should finish the whole bottle an hour after dinner,then come back the following morning for proper induction (that's if I didn't fall into labor)... Hmmm that night wasn't funny oo, I went to loo more than 8 times, it remained for me to excrete my intestine... I was so weak and was having little cramps..

When I got to the hospital in the morning , he checked and my bp was 150/80, he admitted me, I told them that am not feeling any labour pain, and I was 2cm dilated...they now gave me a hot drip that lasted from 10 am to 5 pm, yet I wasn't feeling any contraction.. Around 11 am that morning while I was still on drip, I felt like someone who has not eaten for days, I begged the nurses to help me buy food outside and they said they can't go out once on duty... So I told them to remove the drip let me find something and eat, as soon as I stood up, I passed out, that was when they rushed and got food for me, those nurses are very annoying I swear,the matron came and checked my cervix and it was 5.5cm dilated but no contraction,they kept monitoring my bp and baby's heartbeat...it was around 7pm that my husband came with better food and he stayed with me...

Around 8 pm, they gave me two injections I don't even know the name, even after the injection yet no contraction, then around 11 pm the doctor came and gave me a drug to place under my tongue... Not until 2 a.m, I started having contractions that comes every 3 minutes and lasts for 50 seconds... The pains became stronger and comes every minutes, the pains where so unbearable unlike my other pregnancies, I went to hell and came back. Those nurses left me and was gisting, they don't even come to check on me... It's my husband that goes to call them.

When it was around 6 am, I felt like a big poo want to come out, I told those nurse , one said I should poo on the bed, the other said I should not push that I will give myself tear, I kept shouting I want to poop, then I pushed and they started running Helter Skelter, one of the nurses said lets break the water, when they did that the water splashed every where.. Both of them went out again to get the delivery mat, I have pushed and the baby's head was out when they came back, they asked me to push two more times and my baby was out. I even passed out after delivery... I will never use that hospital again, the nurses are something else. My baby weighed 3.5kg , I thought I was going to have the worst tears because I pushed on my own, but right now we're 8 days today I don't even feel any pain down there.

Congratulations mama. Thank God for coming through for you.

Nurses in government and some private hospitals are really like that just like we see in movies. How do they really have such hearts?

Stellx6:
Good morning, get a big bowl or basin ,add warm water(diluted) it either u use salt or deltol add to the water sit in the basin for 15mins. Do this morning n night...you will be fine

Thanks mama. Will do this

YummySuits:
She is right. I had one too and was told to do same. Aside sitting on it, I also dip cotton wool in antiseptic water (hot but bearable) and hold to the site for a while. You can also use a cold compress on the swelling. Quick recovery mama.

Thanks for responding ma

Congratulations to mamas that have birth their LO. God bless them for you.

Please mamas come to my aid o. I had an episiotomy and was told at the hospital to only wash with warm water. Now the site is swollen and its giving me some difficulties. My mil is a nurse, she told me to add salt and antiseptic to warm water and sit on it. Please whats best I use?
