Please I was confirmed positive, and on week five the sac is still empty, am being ask to take it out, I want to know if this is too early, is it that nothing else can be done? Am I no longer pregnant?
Pray, relax and wait till 8 week to repeat the scan in a different place. Some of these guys can be so wrong. The doctor that did my 8th week scan said there was no fetal pole but viable pregnancy. I no sleep.

B.S B.S. B.S

To everyone expecting birth story, apologies please! It is not easy to get a hold of our phones and just type immediately. I have been typing for two days now, Some like me were asked to rest properly after having some mild dizziness. But here we go!

It is actually my second baby, I had my son in 2018 December and I decreed with my mouth to be back by 2020 and God did it. I took in February and when first trimester hit me, for the first time I understood what morning sickness means.

For most of us who did not experience it at our first child, now I understand why those who do just can't relive the moment. The sickness was terrific, I kept on throwing up at every slight chance. I registered for antenatal at three months and everything was fine with me except for low pcv, which is not new to me honestly. I did everything to boost it, but each visit, it was still low.

At 8months, my husband was asked to donate blood, thankfully we were compatible. I did blood transfusion and was still doing my regular garden egg leaf, veggies and fruits. At 9momths, the doctor still insisting on blood transfusion, but on asking on the group about what I can do to boost my pcv, someone mentioned the leaf, hospital too far...funny my mom knows about the leaf and she requested we got it from the farm...I started taking it and amazingly it worked in two weeks.. doctor sef shock...

Fast forward to November, I was not in a hurry to Meet baby, because I had not finished shopping..I was too lazy to visit the market. I went to the market on the 10th and bought what I needed, on getting home..I knew in my mind, I had overworked myself. My body was telling on me. On the 13th midnight to 14th which is EDD I was not expecting to fall into labor, but when I could not sleep, I knew something was up but could not place it. I visited the restroom five times, I was purging..unlike my first child, I saw blood and mucous, this one was quite different. I had no idea until my waist started paining me, it would do that for minutes and then let me be. I quickly did Google search and found out it was contractions and I needed to time it. It started by 12 and I kept on managing it because I did not want to visit the hospital and be told it is false labour..
Omo, that thing hit me till 3.a.m...i just wore my clothes and told hubby let's go...we got to the hospital by 3.30a.m and the doctors were busy, they had a handful of two pregnant women in intense labour...he looked at me and said you don't look like you are in labor yet...and I was like because I am not shouting abii...they told me to hold on...once contractions hit me, I just jump on hubby and he rubs my back.. surprisingly I was not crying o...unlike my first child that I started crying from the house sef...by 5a.m they attended to me, because one of the patient has delivered while the other one was not dilating well enough...I was asked to come and lay down to be checked, but I said I needed to poo, but getting to the restroom again, I tried but couldn't..the nurse was like wait let me check you first... immediately I lay down ..plus the nurses o, doctor ooo they screamed n started running around to set drip and arrange my baby things...

I was just praying for an easy and painless delivery in my mind.. because my first labour ehh, with my low threshold of pain..I cried my eyes out. They fixed drip and that wicked pain hit me but surprisingly I was only shouting doc o doc o, help me....but no tears, he was like once it hits me I should push... without telling me sef, my body acted on its own o..started pushing the baby out like one very very hot hot urine...this time around, I did not say nurse I don't know how to push o...LoL. last last with three push, baby came out screaming with her tiny voice, I was later asked to cough n placenta came out...he stiched my little tear and then cleaned me up.

Then the rest they say is history. My surprise baby came out a girl. I am so thankful to God for answered prayers of a painless delivery, probably because for the first time I prayed that supernatural delivery book that one mama here shared with me. Omo, I can't believe I now have two kids o..even my mom is shocked and happy for me...lol because she fears for me with the way I hate drugs, injections and pain and my husband thinks I am a fish, but this time around, he hailed me that I was super strong for him.

So join me and thank God for blessing my family for the second time, and I pray the Lord who did same for me, will do same for all of us. Amen.

N.b Some things I learnt are, no two pregnancy are truly the same. Yes, experience matters too, I already know what each stage of labor is and I told myself to try and hold myself even tho it won't be easy..and then nothing prayers can not do, positive proclamation is very good, no matter what...I proclaimed easy, safe and painless delivery and God heard my worries and answered me.

I have never felt so energetic after child birth, I was so full of strength and I even started eating almost immediately and doing little things, which is not advisable, mumsy warned me to sleep and take plenty rest...thank God when I fainted, a doctor was close to quickly check up on me and do the needful. So please let us rest rest rest no matter how superwoman we feel...

Lastly I am signing out of team November 2020, the year of unbelievable things in the world, the Corona Year and the Lockdown order. But I am speaking positively to be back in another two years for my supernatural twins (Winks). May God answer us all and meet us at our point of need. Amen.

Let me dash off to Twitter and look for giveaway thread Biko...I need money like maddddd. Lol

Ermmm, see a picture of her jare.
Congrats ma. Thanks for sharing your BS. Amen to the supernatural twins. May God see us all through. E-hug to LO

It was said that the baby was in between d intramurals, and they
are choking &/wud later choke the baby.
So sad!
I had cried my eyes out...!
She is so devastated that she refused to speak wit me on phone...!

Furthermore, the doctor said she should prepare her mind for surgery in 8weeks!....
PLEASE, mamas of great Nations, can't there be a successful conception & swift 9months with the fibroids sizeshuh....
Or is there an alternative to surgery considering their sizes?
Am not scared of surgery at all, I've been there, the Lord took perfect control. He can't do less!!!
.....I just feel hers are small, hence my quest for alternatives.......
Im so sorry to hear this happened to her. God is her strength and will be blessed her soon with her bundle of joy.

tabithaola:
BS! BS !! BS!!!

I'll start by ascribing all glory to the doer and giver of all good and perfect gifts. The Alpha and the omega.
It all started on December 24th 2019. I did implanon family planning in January 2019 after reluctance because of the scary things I heard about family planning but then I obliged just to satisfy hubby and that was done when our Princess was 3 months plus. Shortly after I did it, a friend and a neighbor who didn't even know I did one started telling me about how she's been bleeding and all and how it prevented pregnancy. I informed hubby about my fears but he quickly discarded it that it doesn't work same way for everybody as body differs and all. I was still carrying it when I came across a thread of a lady whose hers couldn't be found in July. I quickly asked hubby to go through the thread. He did and still assured me that ALL will be well with me. I summoned courage till December,2019. I woke up on 24th of December with my mind made up to get it removed since my princess was already a year+3 months.

I headed to the hospital where it was removed. I seek medical help on how to try for a boy and was advised that my monthly flow must first return before anything could be done since it seized as a result of the family planning method adopted. My monthly flow returned on 17th of January, 2020. So I reminded hubby of the need for tracking since we both wanted a boy this time. I was given condoms but we didn't even use any as the very first attempt led to pregnancy which I wasn't even aware of. I was eagerly waiting for the next flow on 10th of February. I was worried when there was no show coz of the gender selection process we planned embarking on. The first few weeks was mild unlike when I took in for my daughter so I doubted it could be pregnancy.

First trimester

First trimester was kind of easy compared to my daughter's experience. I was averagely fine and full of strength. Pregnancy was confirmed at 8 weeks with mild drama.

Second trimester.

Averagely smooth journey with less appetite for food unlike the first where I was eating anything eatable. We did ultrasound to determine the gender but NO.. my prince charming kept his legs crossed for the three times we did ultrasound.Although, the sonographer hinted at it but wasn't sure. It was at 29 weeks that we decided to do the last ultrasound so as not to buy unisex. Guess what? We were so happy to see my prince charming totori exactly what we wanted.

Third trimester

Third trimester came with so much discomfort but God saw me through.

Labour and delivery phase.

I prayed to God to make me have a feeling of falling into labour this time and he answered. I was induced at 41+3 days when I was pregnant of my daughter and I can say it was sweet and sweet as I wouldn't want to scare expectant moms here. So I went for antenatal at 39 weeks+4 days and my doctor said if baby didn't show up till 1st of Nov that'll be induced. I was prepared for it but was scared of the pains I went through before my daughter was birthed. I got home talking to my prince to please come before the said date and give me the opportunity to experience labour naturally. God heard and quickened my son's spirit. I went for the last antenatal on 27th of October. I went with food and shortly after I finished eating,there was a strange rush from within that I couldn't explain. I began sweating and weak at thesame time. A colleague who also came for antenatal noticed and asked if all was well but I couldn't even explain how I was feeling. She quickly took my seat directly under the fan because of the sweating episode. I regained strength after about 30 minutes and quickly put a call across to hubby to be prepared as it was my first experience.
I discussed with my doctor who advised that I should get gloves for me to be checked. He did and told me that I was already dilating. So he advised I take a bottle of castor oil. Immediately I told hubby, he quickly went to get it. Mind you my doctor advised that I take it when I'm about going to bed as it could mess me up. I took it at about half past 7.p.m. after levelling a mountain of amala. The urge to do chores came from nowhere. I did chores till around 10.p.m hoping to sleep all night as I was so tired but NO my son had a different plan. There was no convenient position. At about 11 p.m, I started purging non stop with contractions almost an hour apart. Between 11 p.m and 1.am. it became strong and unbearable. The screaming and drama had started. We headed to the hospital as it's just 5 minutes drive from home. We got to the hospital at exactly 1:15 a.m and was given a bed. The doctor on duty spent almost 30 minutes before I was checked. My joy knew no bound when he told me I was 7cm gone although in severe pains. He tried breaking my water but when he saw I was seriously in pains he passed a drip instead. At exactly 3:15 a.m, my prince made his grand entrance but not without me screaming down the entire labour ward. We were discharged the next day and its been an amazing experience so far.

Birth story submitted late coz its just hubby and I as our parents are aged and yours truly is the baby of the house so you can imagine. Baby dust to all waiting moms and safe delivery to waddling moms. Cappo take note please birth story submitted.
Congrats ma. God does answers prayers. Welcome dear one. By God's grace we'll all experience supernatural births. Amen

I understand your disappointment however, we were not tensed in the sense of the word tensed. Unfortunately, I had to take some part of the stories out. The issue was due to our naivety before marriage and I being someone who used to masturbate to relief pressure, I did an SFA which revealed the morphology of my sperm cells being at 2% normal and when I told her, she was of the opinion that we should trust God. So my disappointment was borne from the fact that I wanted to dispel the SFA result although, we both had agreed if after 6months and there was no conception, we were going to the doctors to discuss the options as I was advised earlier.
Understand better now. So sorry about my previous post.

[quote author=thejourney200 post=95727143]Pre/Early Pregnancy
Our first eventual night was the day of her ovulation by our calculations and I was filled with hope. We continued everyday and deep within me, I kept hoping that we would conceive. Her period for that month for the first time was shorter than her regular 28day occasionally 29day cycle to 26days. I couldn't hide my disappointment when I realized the pains that morning were menstrual cramps. I guess she saw my disappointment and we tried encouraging each other that it was too early to put ourselves under pressure.

My wife finally delivered through CS. I am very thankful that mother and child are both doing fine.

Its been a very traumatic and stressful month, we nearly lost the battle but we won and we are victorious. There was a period during which I could not sleep for up to 72 hours.

Despite the fact that the financial demands were unrelenting and very overwhelming, and there was nothing (I am a private school teacher without pay through the lock down), somehow I was able to borrow from friends, family and even strangers.

And very importantly, we are filled with satisfaction that all our efforts were not in vain.

I have now learned that high BP and edema during pregnancy should be taken very seriously.

I happily announce to the house the birth of my son.
Congratulations sir. God bless mum and baby richly and provide for your family.

Complaining that my tummy is too small to be this far gone. That I am not sure of my last menstrual period which is early February and if so that means my baby will definitely be very small. I saw thick whitish discharge today too accompany with waist pain since morning. She only told me is not yet time I should better go treat infection. The most frustrating part is how she do make face and comment about my tummy. And I am not a FTM o
My dear dont listen to her. Every preggy must not be excessively big to have a big and healthy baby. I think you should do scan if you are very worried to know the size, weight and heart rate of your baby.

And abeg change that woman she's not helping and not experienced.

Good evening mamas. Pls can scan see the foetus at 4 weeks? Anyone experienced spotting at 4 weeks, pls share so I can really understand what's going on. Trying so hard not to freak out
At 4 weeks there's no feotus yet. What will be seen is the fetal pole and yoke sac. Transviginal scan will give a better view.

Visit your hospital, Start taking folic acid and routine drugs if you've not started and Hope for the best. Congratulations dear

LONG POST ALERT

BS

EDD... Oct 18
DOB..Oct 21

My pregnancy journey was a very smooth one. I discovered i was pregnant week 8 (mind you i was on antibiotics, detoxifying and doing regular sit ups then coz we weren't planning for a baby this year). I had no morning sickness, no cravings, no drama... I was even feeling like I wasn't pregnant at a point and I had to run a scan to be double sure

DH and I kept praying for supernatural delivery and we were trusting God the baby will come on or before Oct 12..(My birthday and our wedding anniversary). I ate pineapples, dates, brisk walked, danced, like my life depended on it. Oct 12 came and passed, no show. To be honest, i was really sad, i was just unnecessarily emotional.

Fast forward to my last antenatal visit, i was already on week 40 and the hospital policy states induction at week 40. The gynae told me i had to come to the hospital on Sunday night to be induced by 5am Monday. On hearing this, i hot really scared. As a FTM, I didn't know what to expect. All I've had people mention is how painful induction could be. I wasn't ready for all that. I had a 2 hour trek that day, took 2 whole pineapples. Even drank almost a full bottle of castor oil.... Yes.. I was that desperate.. Yet, nothing. I started feeling like God didn't answer my prayers of supernatural birth. Different questions and anxiety started beclouding me. I decided not to go for the induction. Then on Tuesday, the bombshell news of curfew came.. We had no choice than to go to the hospital coz we didn't know how long it was going to last. After i concluded with DH, i entered the room, cried very well as i was praying. Then after the cry, made up my mind to go for the induction.

By Wednesday morning, they inserted the first dose of tablet. No show till 9am. Then by 9, a membrane sweep was done since i wasn't contracting at all. Immediately after the sweep, i started vomiting, while vomiting, my water broke. After then, another dose of the tablet was inserted. Ghen ghen... Labor started 9:30...the contractions did not stop. They couldn't even monitor the fetal heart rate properly coz before they count 30, contractions were back. The contractions was coming like 2 mins then 30 seconds of rest. I was still forming breathing exercise, but when it got to a point... I started hitting the wall vehemently. Oh and I forgot to add that i couldn't labor laying down.. I was pacing to and fro.. The gynae kept begging me to lay down so I don't put pressure on the baby... For where, i just couldn't

By 11:30, i begged then to check me,. I was 7cm dilated, and fully effaced. I was to be checked again by 1pm..when it was 12:05, i couldn't hold it anymore.. I just begged a Doctor to check me (they didn't want to check frequently coz my water had broken to reduce risk of infection)... He checked and i was 10cm gone. Hubby was in labor room with me but immediately they wheeled me to the delivery room, he ran out to call the gynae himself. My darling daughter came out crying after 2 pushes, and just 4 mins in the delivery room. Had very little tear

That is my long story of 3 hrs labor and 4 minutes delivery. I learnt so well that God's timing is different from ours and someone else's story of supernatural childbirth differs from ours. Things didn't go my way, it went God's way and to be honest, I'll be eternally grateful for that.

To all preggy mommas awaiting delivery, i pray your bundle of joy arrives meeting you in sound health and your delivery shall be divine.

Side note.. Having to take care of myself and the baby alone with DH for 4 days wasn't easy at all oh.. And this girl can eat oooh... Thank God the curfew is over.

@cappo Threegees.... BS released.
