Expectantmom: TEAM MAY A.K.A TEAMPERFECTION!!!
MAY ROLL CALL!
First off, I want to wish us a happy new month and Ramadan Kareem to our Muslim sisters, may we all have reasons to be grateful to God Almighty always.
However, congratulations to our porters to April, we are glad you all gave birth successfully and we are thankful to God Almighty that both mothers and babies are alive, healthy and bouncing in the Lord's blessing. May your joy never be cut short in Jesus might name.
Consequently, I am glad we had new mamas register with us teamperfection therefore we are happy for the lord has increased us in every aspect of our lives. Father Lord, we thank you for the journey thus far because it is not by our power nor might that we have come to the month of perfection but for your mercy and favor that you have shown us, accept our thanksgiving in Jesus mighty name. Though it seemed far(at least for me), you gave us live, strength, courage and every other things necessary for easy waddling.
Therefore, my May mamas I say a big congratulation in advance to us all because our testimonies are permanent and people shall rejoice with us in Jesus mighty name. At this juncture, I believe our hospital bags must have been packed and ready in preparation for the arrival of our little ones. Please let's also endeavor to put things in other, like finalizing our leave(for both civil and private employees), start exercising for easy delivery and oh yes we can now eat fruits and foods that aids easy birth( like eating pineapple, dates, zobo, drinking ewedu or okra) whether it works or not I don't think there's harm in trying it.
Lastly, like we've professed, there shall be no loss amongst us(amen). Mothers and babies shall come out alive from the hospital in Jesus mighty name and no death shall be recorded afterwards. I want to use this medium to thank all my teamies, you have made this cappo work easy for me with your contributions, suggestions and availability, therefore I say thank you very much and I'm honored to be amongst you especially being a first time mom. To everyone (our experienced mamas) who have contributed immensely on this thread and made(still making) it easy for us all, may the good Lord grant you your heart desires in Jesus name. We are also using us all as a point of contact for every woman seeking for the fruit of the womb that God in His infinite mercy will visit them soon and they also shall share their testimonies and we all will rejoice with them in Jesus name.
Let the BAs and BS begin in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. May our deliveries by swift and complication free in Jesus name.

GracieN: BS! BS!! I started having mild contractions around 3am on May 23rd so I couldn't sleep till day break.. I saw mucus plug just when we were about leaving home and my water broke on my way to the hospital .. The contractions increased .. Doctor did VE immediately I arrived at the hospital in the morning and said I was 5cm dilated. I was so happy.. I was moved into labour room, Contractions increased and the pain unbearable, I can't explain it .. VE was done again after few hours and I was moved into delivery room.. I was told to push as contraction was coming, but I was so tired to push..After several pushing, the midwife was like I will receive episiotomy ohh. I was like nooo, please don't give me episiotomy ohh., she had to take the scissors or whatever they use, before I could say don't cut me, she already did .. I pushed a few more times then baby finally came out ... I thought I was done with all the pains till they started stitching the episiotomy..I was shouting while they stitch..
BS submitted..Cc: May Cappo Expectantmom..
Safe delivery to other waddling Mamas and I pray God will answer the prayers of those TTC.. Very short but interesting BS. Wishing you everlasting joy. |

MGeey: PREGNANCY AND BIRTH STORY
This is my only pregnancy I didn't TTC for. I had made a list of supplements to buy to boost ovulation and also a diet plan for fertility but I missed my period that very month.
The pregnancy journey was smooth. I ate plenty, mostly bread, yam and afang soup; I couldn't seem to get enough of these.
I was stressed daily. No househelp to assist. Husband working outside town and only coming on weekends. Waking up early everyday to prepare my older kids for school, meeting up with my responsibilities at work, striving for excellence at my post graduate program etc were constant challenges I overcame daily.
At 35 weeks, I fell in the bathroom. I am ever grateful to God who answered my prayer within a split second and i landed on my bum. I was scared but calm. God gave me the strength to pick myself up with my children and drove to the hospital that night. Got scanned and baby was okay. My severe waist pain began because I was not given any medication. Standing, sitting, lying down and even walking for long became a challenge.
I got scheduled for a CS at 38 weeks 3 days. I tried to get it brought forward but the doctor was adamant. I told him about the traumatic experience I had during and after the vaginal delivery of my first son therefore he should not expect me to forgive him if I fall into labour before the scheduled day. Thankfully I did not.
On Friday, 27th May at about 4pm, I got prepared for the surgery. I was given the spinal anaesthesia and unlike my first CS it didn't work properly. I felt the pain when I was cut. I almost screamed on the third cut and the doctors really needed to work fast to avoid it wearing off completely. My Jehovah Lord God of host put me to sleep and I didn't feel a thing again. My husband said our second Prince charming was brought out at 4:20pm. I woke up as I was being wheeled out of the theater.
May God grant every pregnant woman safe delivery and also provide the means to take care of those babies adequately.
May God remember those in the waiting room especially tripletwins222 who has been in the TTC group since when I was TTCing for my first child, replace the tears of despair with tears of joy and silent their mockers forever. Amen.
Bye to sweating under the boobs during pregnancies as I don hang boots!
Cc. Expectantmom and all May, 2022 mamas. Congratulations mama!!! May your joy never turn to sadness in Jesus name. BTW, you're not hanging any boot. Expecting you 2023 October |

Yinbridge: BS......... Na long story. I find time to come bk and write cos I have been stressed is an understatement. Let's get right into it.
Remember I said relocation plus baby.
So before baby I had my Canadian permanent residence application going. So I was 30weeks when the approval came. Bak and forth trying to move and get passport stamped I entered 38weeks o my people. Got my Passport bk and moved immediately collected fake doctors report to give the airline that m 32weeks. Flew in on Thursday. Did all my registrations next day and was so stressed but it's all worth it o. Early Monday morning 23rd, 3am, my water broke. I went to pee, the pee dinnor stop o that's how I knew the water broke o. I put pad and woke my husband up to tell him. He said let's sleep bk and by morning we will know what to do since I have no contractions. Before I slept off I msgd a lady who just gave birth in canada like me and told her my situation. She woke me with call by 7am to move straight to the hospital. Where she also delivered.
By 9am we got to the hospital, we got registered and put in d exam room. They tagged me, they examined my water that broke to know if I was really in labour. They took plenty blood o like becos I didn't have any record. After they took blood and check baby they admitted me. They put me in the labour room l was just not really contracting so they decided to induce me to make contract faster. They first gave me toast bread and juice to eat cos I can't eat again just water. They asked if I wanted anything for pain. Gave me three options, oral drugs, laughing gas, and epidural. My sisters I was forming strong girl o. I said nothing o that I was fine. I was assigned a nurse, a doctor and an assistant nurse to ring Bell anytime I need anything. They put a rope abi wire ni to monitor my heartbeat, baby's heartbeat and my contractions. Then the whole thing started from past 10am. My husband and I started. For over 3hrs, it was 1cm. After 2 hours they came bk to check, it was 3cm. At this point I was hungry, tired and dey just kept saying you r doing great. You are doing well mama. Omo I wan die 3cm and we still have 7cm to go. I begged pls gimme epidural. They said anesthesiologist is in d theatre. I cried ehn my husband was just begging me.
My parents in Nigeria were calling, his parents and our timr difference is 7hrs. Everybody stayed awake. He was being fired on the fone to know what was happening. My mum was crying pe lataro. We thought it will be fast. As we were admitted we called the parents and siblings to expect their baby. Had we known we could have calm down. My baby was really not ready. Actually my Edd was May 31st. But I guess the travelling stress induced the baby. At this point my husband and I prayed God help us.
Back to me crying. I was tired. Begging the nurse pls bring me the epidural. She said few hrs the anesthesiologist will soon be here. Few hrs keh. I cannot cope. Nurse was begging me o, telling me to walk around the room, it's a private room just be free. Inside the room I had my toilet, my baby's new machine to use for him, long chair to sleep for my husband and blanket Then for a while i tried to sleep. I slept for like 1hr and they came to wake me the anesthesiologist was here. Omo I was in pain but walked me thru d process and said set your back. They started poking me. They poke and poke for 10mins. D anesthesiologist said I can't find your vein. I cried and cried. The nurse was holding me. My husband was also sad looking. The anesthesiologist said she will get an ultrasound to look for my veins, then she marked it. They started the poking again. After 5mins or so they were done. O mo after 30mins I was numb. I was feeling so good. I was contracting yet no s much in pain. From 10am nothing till next day. Omo by 6am d next day, I was 6cm. I was just there. Lifeless, my Husband didn't know what to do. He slept at some point omo I pity d man. Doctor came they continue to encourage me tht d baby is fine if they need comes they will do cs but for now I am doing okay. I called my husband again let's pray. He said nooo he has prayed all he wants to do is give thanks. He started playing Christian music
By 9am cos the clock dey infont of Me like this, the doctor came again and said now we r 8cm. I was happy that finally we r almost there. I dinnor know that it was still a long. Omo it took more hours. The doctor said she will come finally by 11 and if no show, we move to CS. By past 11 my husband went to look for nurse. The doctor came and said finally we can start pushing. Omo I started pushing o pushing and by 1 is only d head rhey were seeing.
The doctor even went to do operation but said she will be bk for me the nurse shud continue. By the time the doctor came. She said weldone your baby is coming. My husband said later I kept on pooing as I was pushing(smile) but nurse just packed it and not complain.
Sha the doctor came and said you r exhausted, shud I help u with 2 to 4 more pushes or u continue for 45mins. I said hen. How will u help she said vacuum Extractor delivery. I said yes pls she was just like your baby will have sore on his head. I said we wil take d pain together omo, I agreed o. She said push and d vacuum Extractor was inserted. I didn't feel too much pain o. Cos of the epidural. Dey removed my baby is 5mins. They kept him on my chest I just kept crying that finally. My husband was just there playing Christian songs and trying to trust God. Baby came he was just petting me and snapping baby. He immediately forwarded it to our family that hasn't slept for 2 days. I had tears, they sew me bk up
I was cleaned up. The nurse said we will move to postpartum after they checked my baby's weigh 3.2kg. They cleaned us all and moved me in wheel chair to the new room. They tested me and baby again and we were good. They immediately gave me and my husband food and drinks for a job well done. My family stayed awake and we called them. My husband just kept praying over his son while me I slept off. We were in thr hospital for 2days. We got discharged on Thursday and my husband went to look for car seat for our baby. Then the nurses anf doctors came with plenty paper work, told us plenty things then wheeled me downstairs and my baby and they said byee. Gave me a lot for my baby and I and bade us bye.
Omo it was indeed a journey o. I thank God say this baby wait for me to become a Canadian o. In as much as the birth/delivery was a lot. The joy is that my baby is a Canadian. Thank you all for your love on this group o. I learnt a lot. My baby is gum body o. I can hardly get up and do anything he just cries. No help just me and my husband. But we thank God we r doing fine as a first time parent.
Cappo I Don submit BS o. Edd was 31st birth date 24th. Now our Edd Don turn to naming ceremony day o. Na zoom naming we go do o. Is just me and my husband we connect with our family online.

mjblinks: BS ALERT
After some years of TTC from being told that pcos, prolactin then hormonal imbalance. God decided to smile on us through Eek fertility (not an advert but bitter truth after English medicine refuse to work). We fasted, prayed, i work on my diet and lose some weight.
First and second trimester was so sweet, no vomit, no morning sickness but I eat sha. Third trimester came with left rib pain without a cure but left after given birth.
During one of my antenatal visit, Dr said everything is fine with me but I will do VE to check for pelvic and if everything is fine, when I see labour signs, I should come to the hospital. But it was unfortunate that my pelvic was very small. I was shouting and crying all through the VE. So I was advised to do CS that if I insist on birthing the child through virginal that when the baby get to the pelvic he will be stuck and I will end up with emergency CS.
So we were told to do pelvimetry scan abi xray to confirm the pelvic. To cut the long story short, a date was fix and My Crown was brought out with him crying, pooping and weeing on me in the theater by 8.30am.
I was a bit conscious around after 9 asking different questions. Is my baby perfect, is all his body perfect, hope no issue. And I was told that He was perfect and no issue. Guess what, he came with plenty hair but is Prenatal that I use sha.
My husband has started telling people that I have given birth. In my mind, Oga wait na, let me be strong first na. The next day I started moving around and climbing staircase because I heard that the earlier you walk around the faster you heal. But my people in that night I was in pain ooo. Then I was told that I would have walk only that even if my body tell me that I am strong, I should do everything in moderation. I was given injection of pain killer abi sleeping injection. All I know is that I slept off.
We were discharge after 3 days. Vigilante is real and he can suck for Africa. But my only problem is that he sleep off and don't belch after sucking. This make him bring the milk from mouth or noise.
To the remaining preggie Mama, you shall all deliver safely with mother and child alive. To my TTC mama, never give up hope because God is still in the business of blessing all womb with children. You shall all conceive and carry your joy in Jesus name. I know, the question is always when will that time come. Hang it there mama Soon.
Expectantmom cappo, BS submited. Congratulations mama! May your little one continue to be a source of blessing and joy to the family. Thanks for the BS |

Omakraid: BS! BS!! BS!! Get ready, it's going to be a verrrryyyyyyyyy long ride...
Been TTCing since we got married but we had issues with doing the do as hubby was a V (innocent bro) so we just dropped baby issues jare until people started asking questions (his people o) so we resumed trying. Fast forward to 2020 around August, I missed my p and ignorantly washed off my baby with the delicious, well flavoured zobo I prepared myself .. I had terrible cramps and passed out tissue, the blood wasn't here (that was the last time I tasted zobo till this month).. I had infection, treated it and we continued trying...
Nov 2020, started having weird dreams of bleeding. Like I would dream I'm sharing the good news of pregnancy with hubby and in that same dream I would start bleeding and the next day in real life I would start bleeding (the exact consistency and volume of blood would be just as it is in the dream) . Didn't take it serious that Nov until it happened Dec, I started waking up in prayers, Jan same and I told hubby and we started battling it together, Same February (what's going on we've been praying na) but we did not relent. March came and it was as if my prayer would never be answered but God did answer. I had a dream where I was on a bed in a strange room and while wondering why I was there I saw ropes on the floor and a candle lit by the bed.. I decided to burn the ropes gradually with the fire from the candle but while about to do that a strange hand grabbed the rope and was holding what it called my womb, turned it upside down to drain the content and was trying to tie it in my presence. I started praying and calling the blood of Jesus in that dream and the hand dropped all and disappeared. That was our victory though I know there'll always be battles.
God answered us with my March LMP/April ovulation but hubby and I treated Staph Aureus just after I ovulated (I told the doctor that I just finished ovulating but he said I shouldn't worry) and took very strong injections which I think caused the MC I had in June, I also had recurrent fever (which I was scared to treat) so I don't know which one in particular caused it. The foetus dropped in my toilet after terrible hours of pain and I dipped my hand, brought it out and took it to the hospital where I was sent for scan which showed remnants that needed to be expelled (I remember also asking questions and posting the picture here). After the painful evacuation, I didn't even have power to cry or brood though my heart was heavy, I just wanted to move on and I gave thanks to God because He did it and would do another. I went to work the next day as I didn't have strength to sit and let the devil bring in unholy thoughts into my heart even though I was still in pain from the evacuation but anything asides sitting at home was better for me.
My mind was also made up to start immediately even though Google said whatever. I went for a scan which showed infection after I completed the antibiotics given at the hospital and I got another set of drugs which cleared me and we started again. God came through with the July LMP and here we are..
First trimester was with mild symptoms, no vomiting or spitting except that I was always feverish which I ran quickly to get a test done at 8 weeks and it was discovered to be typhoid but my doctor treated both typhoid and malaria and also placed me on duphaston.... Around 11 weeks I started going everywhere with two food flasks, it was as if I would die if I didn't eat. Also had this terrible cough they would cause pain in my ribs, drugs didn't work but thank God, honey and warm water did. Registered for antenatal at 16 weeks and I was given Amalar, prenatals and my first TT injection and that was when my woes started.. The prenatals got me into a vomiting spree (I think it's cos I used them together instead of using them at separate times) and even when not used. Sometimes I'd just be feeling sick and feel like putting my hands in my throat to empty my belly.. My appetite also dropped from 2 food flasks to 1 and I was also managing myself while watching my weight cos I was almost breaking their scale at the hospital (me that use to be tiny)... The doctor would also wondered why I don't usually have complaints whenever I meet him cos plenty scans even before pregnancy said there's fibroid somewhere (but e no concern me, me I no get am) and he said the fibroid he thought would disturb me isn't disturbing, I didn't even answer as I know I don't have it. Heartburn was the order of the day cos rice o, swallow o, fruits o, even water o gives me heartburn.
Third trimester knocked with pelvic pains, plenty heat, blackness on my neck with plenty rashes, cough and little cravings... I never get satisfied if what I eat is not what I'm craving but I managed around it as money was overflowing to be eating cravings up and down (irony). Mind you I was still very active at work with climbing of stairs as the order of the day.. FF to 36 weeks and I had this terrible cough induced Rib-like contractions, i couldn't do anything but groan like one in labour (mhen what kind of labour happens in the ribs), had an x-ray done, there was nothing so I was given injections and pain reliefs.. Was very hopeful that labour would start before 40 weeks but for where, no show oo. Zeal to exercise went down to zero though i still took walking serious, dem say pineapple and dates dey help, me na so so mango I dey buy, how I go con do na? Doc said he'd sweep me at 39 wks, I no remind am thinking labour will start before 40wks, lailai. I had the sweep at week 40 and was hopeful of positivity. 40wks 2dys, saw mucus plug and was left hanging again. Did all I could do so I don't end up getting to the 41 weeks but it seemed my baby was enjoying the taste of the mangoes I was always taking. Took dates, pineapple, zobo yet there was no painful contraction just the braxton hicks... I called my doctor he said I'll come in for induction that Saturday but we couldn't go in on Saturday so we went on Sunday @41wks 1dy as I didn't fall into labour at all... That morning I was feeling this deceitful painful contraction and I called the doctor, he told me to come to the hospital that I'm not going back home without my baby.. Hubby and I left in the evening. On getting there my vitals were checked and my cervix was checked, cervix hasn't started opening (Yeeh), The doctor lectured DH about induction and how it sometimes ends so that he can be open to the outcome, he then broke Misoprostol into 4 and put a very tiny piece inside somewhere I can't remember the name after which he told the 2nd doc to check for dilation by 1:30am (Monday after 6 hours). I went back to the ward, I was exercising while gisting with hubby and when I was tired I laid down.. Wanted to pee but discovered I couldn't so I told the 2nd doctor who inserted my catheter and a urine bag. Lest I forgot, I also saw blood while in the hospital there. Baby's heartbeat was also being checked frequently and it was consistently OK until around 1am when it was checked again, it started well but suddenly started dropping and becoming faint. My gynae was called and he came in immediately checked me and I was only 2cm dilated after 6hrs of groaning, he checked the heartbeat too and we all heard it. He told us we have to go straight into the theater as the baby’s life is very important right now.... Sharp sharp I was shaved and headed to the theatre even when hubby hadn't finished signing the consent form(since he had consented with his mouth).. Entering the theatre and lying down, everyone got busy that was when Gen went off, the doctor shouted what happened (the one who ought to get fuel didn't remember to get it, their solar too didn't come on and I heard him tell everyone one to bring out their phones. I was given general anaesthesia so I didn't know what happened again.. Hubby witnessed all cos I had already spoken to the doctor thinking it would be VD and I had also told him to behave himself so he's not sent out. So he was allowed to stay and watch through the curtain partition in the theater.
I woke up in the ward feeling dizzy and asking for my head and hand to be adjusted, I was seeing hubby faintly and he was telling me the baby is here with joy oo but I kept requesting for adjustment. I forgot I was there to give birth, it was later when my brain processed the whole thing I remembered and asked him for a picture of our baby which he showed.. It was when my brain was clearer that he told me of how the baby was brought out not breathing and the doctor had to start blowing air and tapping her seriously. He said the doctor repeated the action again and again until she cried or is it whimpered but with the way she was breathing, her respiratory tract had been blocked by whatever she swallowed and on her own she cant supply her body oxygen that will go round so she needed to be assisted using oxygen. She finished up 3 small tanks and continued with the biggest oxygen tank as her level on and off the tank was being monitored, no food or glucose water sef cos they said they didn't want anything interrupting her airways due to the was she was breathing.. She was just getting skinny and skinny, always crying that I had to use pacifier to keep her calm sometimes (baby that came out weighing 2.5kg oo)
Before, during and after the whole thing, they didn't even request for deposit until Tuesday afternoon when they wanted to bring in a paediatrician to also check her. Her Oxygen level increased from lass than 40 to 46 to 60 something and 70 something... The paediatrician said until we get to 93 and above and it remains consistent without her being on oxygen, we go nowhere... After much complaints of how skinny she is and that her cry that can wake a small village, I was eventually told to express milk in her cup from which 30ml was measured and she took 22ml. Next dose is in the next 6hrs (at least half bread is better than chinchin), she took 24ml at the next dose and gulped it all at the next one. I complained again abbot's the timing was reduced to 4hrs but same 30ml, I complained that its not enough that she's dehydrated and its the reason she started having fever (her temp would rise to 38.5 in the afternoon) then the pead said we should express and give her when she's hungry. I said OK but when she was hungry, I covered her with the blood of Jesus and sanctified the breast milk and gave her directly, that was what I did throughout the night, when the 2nd doctor came in the morning I told her what I did and she said okay, my main gynae came and caught us sucking then he monitored her breathing while feeding and said we should continue and that was how my angel whose body was almost drying up started regaining flesh gradually.. All this while the oxygen thingy was on and off so that her level will be monitored but she was placed on one more small tank.. Her afternoon rise in temperature still persisted and they had to change the antibiotics being given to her to some very painful ones which got us massive improvement. As of yesterday without man's oxygen, she was 93 and this morning her reading was 95. My baby is now looking like a baby. Her naming was done in our ward (we are the only occupants) this morning with just 4 of us in attendance (DH, self, MIL & our senior pastor).
Thanks to everyone who made my stay in this preggers group eventful, it was worth it.. Thanks to my DH too (we were preggy together), even in this our hospital omugwo, I comot cap for him.. Sometimes he looks at the baby especially when her vitals goes low and feels like crying but just man up, me I cried when temperature refused to go down and I was like God has given you to us and won't take you away from us and by the grace of God we will be going home tomorrow.
I pray God will deliver all mums here safely without complications by His grace and bless the womb of every GTC mums with their own testimonies.. Please manage this small story of my life...
