BS BS

I had already typed my BS last week and it somehow disappeared 😰

Anyways, so my pregnancy was smooth from the beginning, my morning sickness wasn’t so bad I was basically okay but 3rd trimester came with it’s own stress, the heaviness and I was eating so much around the 8th month😁😁and I also noticed that my feet was swelling and everyone I asked said it was because I was close to my due date. On the 2nd of May, when I woke up, I noticed that my face was very swollen and in my mind I just knew that wasn’t normal, I called the hospital and they asked me to come so they can check it & one of my aunts said it’s normal & that is how she always gets swollen when she’s almost due & I shouldn’t go to the hospital just yet.

As a first time mom, i agreed and thought I was probably overreacting and I just chilled since I had my midwife appointment on the 4th, I decided to wait till the 4th.

On getting to my midwife, she tested my urine & she said I had alot of protein in my urine- protein +++ & she checked my BP which was also extremely high so she told me to go to the hospital immediately, I went home & carried my bag just in case but I felt fine just heavy and very tired. On reaching the hospital, they did a repeat test and took my blood and when the results came back they said I had preeclampsia and that they had to take my baby out that day. They said they were going to try to regulate my blood pressure and if it comes down, they’ll induce me but if it doesn’t they were going to take the baby out via CS.

So, they started pumping me with blood pressure medication, the BP did not come down and so they said I had to make a decision for the CS, I told them I felt okay and begged to come back if they would release me because I wasn’t ready..they refused & said it would be risky for me & my baby as it was already affecting my kidney…I just thank God, my prince was born 5:53pm on Thursday the 4th of May and we are both doing fine,taking it one day at a time. (This BS is for me and segxi-that’s hubbys account & the correct DOB is 4th of May.

Wishing every other May mamas safe delivery❤️

Hello everyone,

Please quick question. Is swelling towards the end of pregnancy normal? My feet have been swollen for sometime now but I woke up this morning and the whole of my face and eyes are swollen, looked at the mirror this morning and was scared. Is this normal? Or should I visit the hospital ?

BS…

Where will I even start from. God really showed me mercy in this journey of 9months.

Towards ending of August, 2022 I found out o was pregnant, I was very happy because I have been praying to God to bless my womb. Hubby returned and I told him, he was very happy and we did a scan to be very sure. Which it was confirmed that I was some weeks gone and EED is May 8th, 2023. My birthday month. The joy doubled.
The journey began; fast forward towards ending of first trimester, I woke up one morning and was not able to urinate. Hubby had to rush me to a private hospital in our estate.
I was admitted and was passed catheter to use. Before the incident I had already done a scan which I was told I had fibroid.
I was admitted, doctor placed me on series of test to know what may have seize my urine. All test came out negative including urinalyses.
After much, doctor said the only option left is for me to do surgery to remove the fibroid that the fibroid is resting on my bladder and also, the baby will be flushed because it’s a 50 50 thing. I cried, I told hubby I don’t wanna loose my baby. The doctor scheduled us for the operation, I told hubby I’m doing any surgery. Had to involve my parents, because the doctor was already messing with my hubby’s mind.

My parents invited me to come over to Lagos from PH. I was discharged after 4days from that private hospital, booked a flight and straight to Lagos. Met with my family doctor, after checking my baby, he said baby is fine that the only solution for now is for me to be on catheter for another 2months, that once the bump gets bigger, it will push the fibroid away from that position and I will be able to pee on my own.
Another wahala again, I was on catheter and still going to work. I used it for almost a month before God showed me mercy. I was able to pee on my own till I delivered.

Had to register for antenatal and was told I will deliver through CS due to the fibroid position.

Second trimester was smooth with normal orishirishi pains each week.

Third trimester was cool too.

I was planning to take leave ending of April, but baby took everyone unawares.

Went to work on 11th April, 12th April was my antenatal, met with my doctor to complain about how I’m feeling, the so-called doctor told me I should go home and take Para that it’s the fibroid pains. Also placed me on diet and some sugar test. I left the hospital angrily.

I got home that afternoon and was feeling so sad, moody. I started crying, called hubby to come back home that I’m not feeling okay. That I’m having pains. Hubby came back and took me to the hospital for us to complain about the pains.
A nurse asked me to go straight to maternity ward, I was checked, behold I was already 7cm dilated. The yesterday of it myself and hubby had a good sex round sha,lol. I was now thinking if that contributed for me seeing a bloody show.

The dancing and makosa now begun, I got checked around some mins to 9pm, I delivered my prince 11:30pm. Even though the nurse that took my delivery was very harsh towards me, I believed she deliberately gave me cut self because baby wasn’t big. Before she could sluggishly came to me, I had already pushed and baby’s head was already out.

In all I gave God all the glory. My first fruit wasn’t aborted according to the so-called private hospital I went initially.

Also, even when the nurses were going through my folder, there were like Madam, are you aware you’re supposed to deliver through CS, even with the pains I told them NO, that my second scan at 28weeks indicated that my passage is free and no fibroid down my cervix.

I just want to say God thank you.

Sorry for the long post ooo.

Wow this is a very huge testimony. I celebrate with you mama! God be praised , congratulations once again 🥳🥳

The lord has done it again. I gave birth to a bouncy baby girl this morning 21April. Edd 3 of may.
BS
Started contractions around 4am on 20th of April, Call the emergency line and my husband took me to the hospital. I was admitted and monitored. Still contracting at 10min intervals. Around 10pm it changed to every 6min, I called the midwive to examine me, I was only 2cm dilated. They checked baby for like 40min...ctg..I was told baby is in distress...the contractions had became intense this time and I was screaming.They checked again I was 4cm, Due to my previous C's I already have two kids. The plan was to do a CS, but I don't understand why they allowed me go into labor. I was given a gas to breath in and out to help with contractions which helped a little. An emergency CS was scheduled and baby was delivered. I give all glory to the most high God. Mother and daughter is healthy. Somebody should shout hallelujah.

Congratulations mama!! Welcome princess🥳

Bs! Bs!
When I discovered that I was pregnant, I wasn't happy about it cos I wasn't ready to have another child as my first child was only a year and 2months old but my husband was happy and he tagged me an ungrateful soul but I careless. I wished and hoped to lose the pregnancy at early stage, but God is not a man

The journey was a smooth one until it got to 34th week and I started having contractions coupled with fibroad degeneration. I went to the hospital and was placed on injections to stop the contractions, it stopped for a while but came back with full force the following week and I had to manage the pain since the cervix was still closed.
The contractions was on and off till 40th week. By 41 weeks, which was 20th march, my tired was already tired. I told my husband I was going to the bank after dropping my daughter at school, that was how I trekked 45mins to the bank and also trekked back. While I was on the journey, the contraction was coming back to back (15mins apart)
I picked my daughter up from school and took her to salon to make her hair, then to my friend's place opposite the salon before finally heading home, by this time the contraction was getting intense (5mins apart)
I took my bath and arranged the house while I waited for my husband to come back. Not long after, he came back with soup ingredients and was making mouth about how he wants to make a badass ogbono for me, I just told him to forget about that and help me prepare noodles for our daughter so we can head to the hospital, he did that in a rush while I soak garri with cold water.
We got to the hospital some minutes past 8pm, I got checked and was told it was just finger tip, by 11:15 I started having the urge to push and called the matron attention to it, they didn't believe me because I wasn't dramatizing, by the time the matron checked me the baby's head was visible, with just 2 pushes, the baby was out weighing 3.6kg and I was stitched up cos I had tear(that was when people knew someone was in labor because I didn't shout throughout the process.


I've finally thrown the boot into the lake of fire like a Mama stated here earlier.

This is me logging out of March,

Hi mamas, I have been feeling contraction for days now although I think it is Braxton hicks (I’m a FTM) but tonight’s own is very frequent and so uncomfortable. Does this mean labor is near?
I have changed position, drank water and done everything google asked me to do but my belly is still contacting. What are the signs that labour is near please,
I’m worried, tired, heavy, swollen. I honestly cannot wait for this to be over!😭

You are welcome to team May. How has been the journey so far?

Thank you!! Beautiful, i am beginning to get my strength back. The first three months I couldn’t eat anything or drink water �

Goodmorning mamas my EDD is May 6th, this is our first baby…I’m so nervous but looking forward to meeting our bundle of joy!

Hello everyone,

I’m new here and this platform is very educating.
I’m 18weeks 5days gone (this is my first baby) and I have had a very terrible headache for the past one week on the side of my head, I also noticed that my bump is softer and it has reduced. My baby flutters is also not as sharp as it was last week, I am honestly very worried coupled with the fact that the midwives here in the UK are not very helpful, I managed to reach the emergency unit to be checked just to be sure but they asked me to drink water and take paracetamol. Has anyone here experienced this please? What did you do? Is this normal?
