I'll make sure d baby's head is upright, and gently rub the baby's back... Plus shout Blood of Jesus...lol

AlphaHandMaiden:
Dexterush so for the loss of that child. Very sad when it can be preventable.

I will put a question to mamas and papas here generally, please answer with the first thing that comes to your head... no googling, dont ask anyone around you. There is no right or wrong answer. Shouting "blood of Jesus" is an ok answer to put as well.


Assuming you are alone and a baby is choking, what do you do, also assuming no one is there to help?

Congrats teamie

Thanks dear

Congratulations once again enque. Your baby is blessed beyond measure. Thank God for a safe delivery.
@ultimate..bunmi 1, please don't fret. I was induced in my two deliveries to bring on contractions as i passed my due date. Everything went fine , just cooperate with your doctors. You and your lo will be fine by God's grace.
Cappo si..xx, how is waddling doing u cos mine is something else. When baby kicks , my entire body vibrates and moves in the direction of the kicks . I am 37 weeks today. My God is indeed a miracle worker.
Jazzy..jazz, i see u holding your cutie soon. Allow oga to do the shopping of the remaining items. Your mantra now should be bed sweet bed. God's grace to you sweetie.

Thanks cappo, I have battled postpartum depression for the past 2 weeks...I was angry at everything and everyone for no reason. at some point I blamed the Dr for bringing out my DD at 37weeks, infact I almost got angry at God for not turning my 'placenta previa' issue around despite all the prayers we prayed. I almost didnt want to share my BS cos i just felt very sad about everything.
that's story for another day, but i thank God that I'm gradually getting better and taking each day as it comes.

Favouredmom:
Thank so for the birth story @ enque

Congrats Sury..Suri, Sisi..Nini, J..uliao, ma..macajah on the arrival of your babies. May God bless and keep them. Oya come and drop your birth stories like it's hot

@ ultimateb..unmi1 dont be scared. Your induction procedure will go smoothly, just commit everything into the hands of God.

@ mum..mytee, ako..rkor, ammy5..565, worry not, we will soon rejoice with you on your birth announcements, the last few weeks are always the longest.

December mamas aka no dulling mamas abeg come and drop your birth stories o

My prayer for us in this new week is that as this week ushers in the festive period, glad tidings and sounds of great joy will be heard in our homes in Jesus name amen.

Motherhood is so rewarding although it is a LOT of work but i would not have it any other way. Breastfeeding with one hand and typing with the other while using side eyes to check my girl's nose
Stories that touch won't be our portion...

Those of us that have put to bed, let's come in and share tips on how we've been coping. Postpartum depression is real, if there's something that's bothering us, we can ask questions here also.

May God reward all mothers in Jesus name.

By the way, thank God for breast pumps. I don't know how I would have survived without that thing if I'm breastfeeding back to back.

We await more birth alerts.

Cc all December sexy mamas

Love you guys

My BS -PART 2

Monday 28th November 2016 – delivery day

I could barely sleep all night, couldn’t wait to just get the whole process over with. It was more of an anxious feeling towards the delivery.
5am – Had my bath
6am – The nurse came to check my baby’s heartbeat and my vitals.
7am – The catheter was inserted and the drip was setup. I stripped and was dressed in a green robe like the doctors. The Anesthesiologist came to brief me of the events leading up to the surgery, how to position my back for the spinal anesthesia and the effect on my body.
8.15am - Walked from my room to the theatre, saw my DH, mum and elder bro in the waiting room. My DH was asked to come in with me as he had requested to be by my side for the surgery.
As I entered the theatre, ol’booy see plenty instruments….lol . I come dey wonder if na ontop person body dem wan use all those gadgets.

My DH was asked to hold on while I was set up for the surgery, the anesthesiologist asked me to hug a pillow and bend my back like I was on an ‘OKADA’, he then injected the anesthesia into my spine and immediately I couldn’t feel my body from chest downwards. I told him and he said that was the effect of the injection – I would be awake but numb from chest downwards. He also asked me not to raise my head up so as not to have headaches post-op, but I could turn my head left or right if I needed to communicate.

5 mins later, I started to feel funny. My chest felt heavy like I couldn’t breathe and the lights in the theatre started to dim. My head felt very heavy and I began to feel like I was passing out , at a point I started breathing HEAVILY with my mouth and making sounds. With the little strength I had, I called the anesthesiologist and said – “DR, my chest feels heavy and I can’t breathe..my head too”. Immediately, He shouted that the nurses should bring 2 pillows so that he can prop my head up, and then I felt an oxygen mask covering my nose (at this point I was semi-conscious…I could hear the panic in their voices faintly and I was struggling to stay awake, tho I was feeling dizzy and my eyes were slowly closing). He now started calling my name…Nkechi, Nkechi can u hear me…he was slapping my cheeks to keep me from closing my eyes. A few mins after the oxygen mask was put on my nose, I started breathing well and all the dizzy feeling wore off gradually. I responded to my name and smiled at the Drs. They left the mask on for a few more mins and they were constantly checking my blood pressure, I started feeling better , the chest heaviness was gone and I felt normal. I looked to my left and saw my DH dressed like the DRs and I laughed..He held my hand and said ‘Pls don’t close your eyes or fall asleep’.

Now that everything was normal, the surgery started. There were about 7 people in the room – the gynaecologist, a regular doctor (who was scrubbing in), a pediatrician, the anesthesiologist, A matron and 2 nurses. A small curtain was used to cover so I couldn’t see what they were doing, but my DH was allowed to see the procedure. I jokingly told them that I wanted to see too, but they laughed at me. I also noticed that I was constantly being monitored especially my blood pressure, and the doctors kept talking to me so that I am conscious. They would ask me questions like how are you? When is ur birthday? What is ur best food and all sorts of funny questions and me sef I de reply them…..lol

At exactly 8.55am they brought out my baby girl and she weighed 2.8kg. The gynaecologist teased me that with all the food I consumed, that my baby weighs just that and my husband replied ‘when na only indomie and egg she de chop, how d pikin wan take big’ and we all laughed.
The pediatrician and 1 of the nurses took her away, but I noticed she had plenty hair and I smiled.
They suctioned all the fluid out and the Dr had to bring out my womb to sew it up (I’m sure you’d be wondering how I knew…well, at every point in time they were telling me what they were doing). When they were done, the Dr put it back in and sewed me up.
I asked him about the fibroids that were seen before I got pregnant and in my early pregnancy (the various scans said that there were about 2 of them) and the Dr said that they were no more there, as they had been flattened out in the course of my pregnancy. That was good news and I thanked God.
At about 9.50am, the surgery was done…they handed the placenta over to my DH and he had this confused look on his face as per what to do with it….lol. I just told him to give it to my mum who was waiting outside with my bro. DH and I said thanks to everyone and he left to check on the baby while the nurses cleaned up all the bloody ish in the room.

Part 3 coming soon

Hi Jazzyjazz, thank God ur fine now. Pls take care of urself o..

Akorkor, how far?? how body?

Congrats mamacajah juliao and other mamas that hv put to bed. May God bless and keep us all.

Morning mamas,
After weeks of peeping and SHYing observing from the pregnancy thread, i have come to register my presence.

My Dd (chizaram) was born on 28th november 2016 at 37 weeks. As a FTM, the past 2 weeks have been a roller-coaster of emotions for me (sometimes i stare at her in confusion) but the Lord is our strength

Hopefully we will show up for thread cuties soon.

My birth story part 1

My pregnancy was a bit of an uneventful one. I started out with no morning sickness, vomiting nor spitting but i had serious nausea and couldn't eat well cos everything was irritating me. At 7 weeks, I had a slight bleeding and was placed on progesterone injections.
At 15 weeks, I went to register for antenatal and during the scan, the sonographer noticed that I had a low lying placenta. The Dr and I talked about it and asked me not to worry, cos it would most likely move up before I am full term. However he told me that we would monitor it at my 20th, 28th and 36th week scan so as to know the position.
I continued ‘life as we know it’ with no issues whatsoever. Everytime I went for antenatal, I spent max of 15mins with the dr cos I never really had any complain (it was more of check baby’s heartbeat and pick up my prenatals).

At 20 weeks I went for an anomaly scan, and we confirmed that we were having a girl, but the placenta was still lying low. We kept praying and hoping that it would move before my EDD which was 2nd week of December.

3rd trimester came and I started having crazy Braxton hicks contractions and shortness of breath. My LO refused to turn head down, but was shuttling between Footling breach and transverse lie positions. Her kicks were becoming so strong (it got to an extent where I started having goose-bumps on my left arm whenever she moves) that I got scared of even eating (eating is her best activity time).Everytime I complained to the Dr about the movements, he always made fun of me and said that don’t I know it’s a good thing that my LO kicks strongly.
28th week scan came and the placenta still hadn’t moved, at my 35th week appointment my DR scheduled me for a final scan at 36 weeks, which was going to be a determining factor to the type of birth I’d be having. That is, if the placenta had moved position, then I can have a normal delivery but if not, it was going to be a CS.

At 36weeks 4 days (Thursday 24th November 2016), I went for the scan……everything was fine except for the placenta which was still lying low and by then the baby had assumed the transverse lie position (her head was to my right and her butt n feet were to my left). I went back to my Dr with a huge frown on my face and he asked me what the matter was. I said “Dr, my baby has refused to turn head down”, he looked at me and said that his issue wasn’t even the position of the baby, but rather what was preventing the baby from turning (which is the position of the placenta). He explained to me that the implication of this was that if he lets me go into labour, there is a risk of the placenta detaching and also coming out before the baby, which could cause serious bleeding and also death. He then told me that I was going to have an elective CS, and that we would wait till I was 37weeks (Saturday 26th November). He booked me for a CS on Monday 28th November 2016 by 8am, and I was to be admitted on Sunday night.
I checked into the hospital on Sunday night with my husband , and they took my blood sample for tests (PCV and some other tests), the nurses shaved me in preparation for the surgery. I had my last meal b4 10pm and my husband left for home afterwards, to come back the next morning before the surgery.

Pele dear! We will be fine

Enque am also experiencing the same thing.pls wat did u do.it happened wit my first child but I raised my leg and used pri on it and it left d following day but dis one since thursday when dey discharged me.

Thanks dear

CovenantBabies:
Congrats Enque on the birth of ur daughter! May she continually be a blessing.
Congrats too favoure...dmom & other mamas that have delivered. God bless your LOs.

Thanks Ma

zaynie:
Yes abidec made my dd eat so much! My milk production couldnt keep up and she was super cranky.
That was the first and last time I ever used it.
Naturally unless your baby doesn't eat well or is sick, she doesn't need multivitamins cos bm has it all.
If your baby is a heavy sucker, looks healthy....you dont need it,

Ooohk...thanks ma

Iyabetajos:
my son was also given abidec to make him eat more cos he was underweight

Lol...ok.
Thanks a lot

soonest:
Abidec is not needed if your lo is sucking well and you yourself you are eating well.
But let me confess, I gave my son in the early weeks because he will rather sleep than suck. I gave it to boost his appetite.
#confession

Thanks so much...
I think I'll just trash the diazepam and find a way around getting sleep naturally.
I appreciate..

Pls oh, can u help wt the abidec question I posted a few mins ago. I think u were mentioned in the post.
No vex for my many many questions o.

soonest:
Sleeping well? I don't think any new mum sleeps well 2 weeks postpartum. But if it's much of a bother, you can take it a day, maximum 2days. Diazepam accumulates in breastmilk so don't get use to taking it.

Thanks Ma'am...
Still on this matter, make I take style ask u another question. My elder sis thinks I shld give abidec multivitamin to my Dd. She says it will make her eat well.

I recall u wanted to comment on it on the other thread but the mama didn't respond.
Pls what's ur take on this??

zaynie:
Enque, I know diclofenac is ok cos I used it too.
I would say I concur with Soonest.

I haven't been sleeping well since I put to bed 2weeks ago. I also complained about my right foot being swollen since 2days post-CS till this very moment.

soonest:
Enque, diclofenac can be used but diazepam is excreted in breastmilk, enough to sedate your baby and make him lethargic. Why is he giving you diazepam?

@jazzyjazz, probably your body getting ready. Mention it to your Dr @ your next appt

Liftedhands welcome back....how's Ekene?

Due to some major pains from my CS which has been making me uncomfy, my Dr prescribed diclofenac and diezepam for 3 days. Pls o, are these drugs safe while breastfeeding cos I am giving my 2 week old only BM for now.

cc soonest zaynie liftedhands realdentist and other sabi mamas

I think it's carpal tunnel syndrome. I experienced it a few times and it eventually stopped on its own.
