Tessicatess:
Good morning bellyful Mamas!!!
Trust we are all enjoying this Pregnancy journey?

October Mamas how are we doing? Hope baby is kicking just fine?

Please sabi Mamas, I will appreciate your inputs on this my matter Biko.
First of all I am experiencing this itching down there
I complained during my last antenatal and I was told to properly sun dry my undies and if the weather isn’t so sunny I should iron my undies before wearing.

I have been doing that and I must say it has reduced but not totally? Any better, safer and quicker way I can go about this?

Secondly I am experiencing a kind of shock like feeling in my right palm. It’s as though there isn’t enough blood getting to that palm. My doctor said it’s nothing to worry about. Is any mama experiencing or has experienced such before?

Congratulations to all Mamas that have birthed their LO
And to the rest of us still waddling, God will make it easy and smooth for us all. Amen

BS, BS, BS
I give all the glory and honor to God for counting me worthy to be a mother after two years of TTC, several miscarriages, late period treating ovarian cyst and irregular periods.
After my last period around September 23. Then in October I started feeling preggy but due to my previous cases I didn't do any pregnancy test, after a missed period still yet I kept my calm until November 11 when I summoned the courage to go for a test and it came out with big positive. Then I went for scan at 6weeks 5days and there was an heart beat. Hullabaloo I was so happy likewise my husband but we still kept our cool. Then at 7weeks 1day the enemy came again but with the Grace of God, my doctor's alertness I was placed on bed rest and to start getting progesterone injection till I was 13weeks. Come and see my buttocks filled with injections and lumps but my God pass them but except that my pregnancy was hitch free .
After my scans and edd date listed , the first one came and I was still not showing any signs of labor around June 26, I trek tire, dance dire but no show. I was then scheduled for induction on July 2nd because I don't want to take any risk. But as soon as I heard induction I came to the group to Read stories of induction in other to brace up my mind and it really helped. God bless you all for sharing your experiences it really helped this first time mother. Then on the 1st of July around 2:01am this pelvic contraction started like when I do menstruate, when it refuse to go I started timing it till around 5am when my husband went to pick my nurse that checked me and she was like am around 2cm going to 3çm I said chai I don enter am. I was taken to the hospital around 9am checked again still 3cm after I don over work myself. So my doctor asked my DH to get a drug to be inserted into my jajaina, still around 12pm I was still not close to 5cm. Then given drip and some injection which helped me dilate around 4pm to 5cm. Then they cleaned up my mucus plug through membrane sweeping, and They had to break my water around 6pm and I dilated immediately to 7cm. All through this period I was still forming strong woman, even the nurse and doctors on duty were like this lady strong oooo. The moral was built up until after the water breaking, my fellow mothers I started speaking in tongues, shouting the blood of Jesus, Holy spirit and the likes, then I was told in the next two hours I should be ready to deliver I shouted hah that how will I cope through this Lord. But I kept my faith and started praying for God's timing and the doctors own. And my God did it just in 2minutes I felt a strong push like I want to poopoo.But they kept telling me not to push that my service will close . But I told the nurse with me to check me, and I could not even open my legs because they don over check my jajaina. So I eventually allowed her to check then she saw the baby's head and told me not to close up again but gently stand up to the favor room and in 2push my Princess came forth weighing 3.5kg looking exactly like her father and placenta followed. we were discharged on the 2nd after my pcv came out with 31%. And now I now vigilante is a great work. But the joy won't make me mind doing it all over again.
Thanks to you all.

But as soon as I got home ate rice and relaxed, everything disappeared.

Am beginning to get tired. I need to move on with my life not with a bulging tommy but a pretty little bundle of joy.

Prudify25:
Pls see a doctor and reduce paracetamol intake,
I was told too much of it isn't good.

bimberry1307:

I've been having the headache for long now and my BP is very ok. I've stopped taking paracetamol cos it's not working. I guess it's part of my package. I also have an anterior placenta and I think it's nothing to worry about because doctor isn't complaining but what do I know sha?

Pearl05:




That was my situation last week heavy headache. Checked bp normal. I remembered that during the last visit to hospital, doctor told me that farsidar is now given monthly during pregnancy. And it was more than a month already so I took the anti malaria and the headache started reducing from the next morning. Now am fine and don't take paracetamol again.

sweetlady4real:


Good morning mama, sometimes headache in pregnancy is part of the package, since your bp is normal. I used to have it in pregnancy in first and early second trimester, what worked for me was having enough rest and stop worrying about anything and eating in small portions. Make sure you eat something no matter how little. Also tell your doctor about it in your next appointment if it persists.
As per placenta, there is nothing you can do about the position, it may actually change on it's own as the uterus expands.
Hoping you'd find relief from the headache, Pele, it will soon be over.

threegees:

I was in this situation a few weeks back. I complained to my friend who forced me to call my nurse. She asked me to do a widal test. Lo and behold, I had typhoid. Moral of my story, please go to your hospital and complain
For the placenta, it is okay. There's nothing you can do about that. Just relax.

FloraEC:
Good morning

Cleaning of the nipples during pregnancy.

During pregnancy, the nipples may become dry and pigmented and develop cracks, therefore , it is important to retain moisture around the nipple area. The areola, which is that circular and dark patches that surround the nipples undergoes a lot of skin changes as a result of hormonal operations in the body during pregnancy, making the areola change in colour, usually growing darker than usual

How to clean the nipples during pregnancy

Cleaning of the nipples should start from 36weeks up and should be done once a week to avoid falling into labor since the nipple is a very sensitive part of the body and twingling it can lead to contraction.

Materials needed
* Cotton wool
* Methylated spirit (optional)
* olive oil/coconut oil

How to clean the nipples

* Dip cotton wool inside a methylated spirit/olive oil/coconut oil, use it to clean around the aerola
* Finally use a cotton wool dipped with olive oil to clean it off so as to avoid dry and flaky around the aerola if methylated spirit was used.
* Clean nipple using a warm hand towel when bathing.
* After cleaning, gently pull out your nipples for like five minutes. Repeat this process as many times as possible during the day. The effect of this is that the nipples are being trained and exercised to stand out well enough for the baby to easily suck, after delivery.


Remember every woman, every baby, every pregnancy is different. Don’t listen to anyone, just enjoy the ride! Take everyone’s advice but only use what feels right for you.

NOTE: If you have popcorn grab it and get a bottle of chilled drink.

My pregnancy was uneventful except with initial malaria episode at 7weeks plus. Aside that, other issues were food aversion and spitting which continued until delivery. Around 33 weeks, I noticed an increase in my bp reading which had always been between 120 to 110 over 70 to 77. When I told my sister, she asked the value and I said 130/80. She said it’s normal but I told her that’s my first time getting that high reading. She said with pregnancy that the reading is okay. I continued monitoring it at home with about same reading or higher. I also noticed the hospital readings were around the same as the ones I took at home. Fast forward to 37weeks 5 days, my bp at the hospital was 140/90 and a second reading of 140/84 and I was told I’ll have to be admitted at the hospital for bp monitoring and to be induced at 38weeks per their hospital policy for high bp expectant moms. Test for protein in urine came back with trace intact. I told the doc I suspect my bp fluctuations is due to my lack of night rest as I was finding it hard sleeping at night. She said it could contribute but since I’m almost 38weeks it’s better I go for bp monitoring so I can be induced. Being I hate staying at hospital, I asked the doc if I can go home and return when I’m 38 weeks and she said yes, that it’s my choice. So she gave me another appointment at 38weeks. With much intentional rest over the weekend, increased water intake, mild exercise and salt reduction I returned to hospital on the said date and the bp came down to 130/80 and a repeat test of protein in urine was negative. So I was advised to continue to monitor at home and call the hospital if there’s spike; a return appointment was scheduled a week later. That was exactly at 39weeks. On getting to the hospital, the nurse kept repeating the bp reading both on my right and left hands and at a stage asked I take a deep breath in and out. That was when I knew it has gone higher again. The least reading was 145/91. At doctor’s office, the doc checked the bp twice and said she was getting 130/70. I told her I got 135/93 at home that noon before I left home. She suggested I be transferred to labour and delivery section for proper monitoring and induction. I told her I have no issues with that. So she said let her discuss with her team and left. On her return, she said I’ll have to be sent to labour and delivery as discussed earlier and she’s giving her consent for vag.inal delivery. Reason was that before then, I was advised that I may use CS if the fibroids was blocking my baby and my case was classified high risk pregnancy. But the last scan at 35weeks 5days showed none of the two big fibroids was in the way, though the sonographer explained the limitations to scan and advised I still remain open minded should CS be needed. On getting to labour and delivery room, the bp monitoring started and my bp was being recorded every 20 to 30 minutes. Two monitors were also set, one for baby’s heart beat and another for contraction. My doctor also did a quick scan and saved a it on her system. At 6pm, the doc told me they wanted to start the induction and she’ll give me adrug to help soften the cervix as it was still closed. At around 9pm, contractions started at say 5mins intervals but were not strong. At around 11am, they introduced oxytocin in small quantity and the contraction continued. Though I was able to sleep at intervals and being woken by contraction. I was also offered Pain medication to be put in drip or epidural. I told them I don’t need them yet and the anesthesiologist explained I can request for any at any time that she’ll be on standby. At around 1am, the oxytocin flow was increased and labour became more intense. I talked to the nurse and decided to go with pain relief as I was still scared of stories I’ve read on epidural sites and pains later on. I also asked her the differences and she explained that pain medication will reduce my pain and make me sleepy while epidural will not make me sleepy but remove the pain while I still feel contractions. At the thought of the needle at my back, I decided to go with pain medication since it will be injected into the drip plus the nurse explained that if I later want epidural they’ll still give me. After the pain medication was introduced, I felt a little relief with the pain however around past 1am, two nurses rushed into my room and I was put on oxygen and asked to change my position. They later explained that my baby’s heart rate stopped for a moment and showed me on the screen. Also said that to stop such, I’ll have to change my position at intervals and with the oxygen mask they hope baby will be okay. Then around 6am I was checked again and the doctor said cervix was still closed. At 6:30am my water ruptured and I was told I’ll have my baby before 24hours. Around 12noon, I was checked again and was 2cm dilated. At that I was happy the cervix finally opened. At 2pm, the pain was becoming unbearable and I told the nurse I’ve decided to take epidural so she informed the anesthesiologist and within 10 mins he came and set up the line and showed me how to control the flow if I start having pains. The nurse explained that the effect will start after 10 mins. With that, the pains vanished and I wished I had gone for it initially. Around 5pm, they said 6cm gone. By then my family was already worried as I was initially alone the first day and my sis had to come in the evening of second day. When my dh called, I told him not to worry that everything is progressing well because I didn’t want my mil to be worried due to the distance. My brother and mom said I should request for CS since induction is not progressing fast plus baby already showed sign of distress twice. But when my sis talked to the nurse, she said CS is their last resort and doctors are on standby if need be so we should not worry that baby is okay. So we kept on watching the heart beat while I change positions at intervals with the help of the nurses. By then, they’ve removed the oxytocin as she explained that each time they increase the dose, baby showed sign of distress so they allowed me to progress on my own and the contractions were very irregular. At around 12am on 17th, I started having pains on my left side, when I told the nurse she said I should change my position to enable the epidural circulate well. But then I noticed each time I lied on my right the pain returned and the button for dose increase didn’t seem to be working. I called the nurse and she informed the anesthesiologist. But then decided to check my temperature and was shocked as it was 100.4 F. She called doctor’s attention and I was checked again and at 8cm. Doctor said I’ve got infection and antibiotics needed to be administered. I told them to go ahead and they did. I only realized after that I slept off for like an hour and when I woke, my temperature was already normal. Then at past 2am, the doctor came again and explained that if I’ve not progressed to have my baby right then, they have decided to switch to CS as delivery cannot be delayed anymore due to the infection as it may affect my baby. But when she checked, she told me 10cm and said she’ll get her team ready for delivery right away. She explained to me how to push when contractions come before she left to inform her team. My sis got me to practice it showing me what the nurse explained. I was just laughing the way she was acting it. Within 5mins the team entered and set me up on how to stay. I was then asked to push with the contractions, I tried 3 times with each contraction and rested in between. At the third contraction, my baby popped out at 2:47am with a light cry. They took him and cleaned him up, then got my sis to take a picture showing his weight as 6.9lbs. He was brought to me for skin to skin as the placenta was delivered. At 9am, I was transferred to postpartum section for recovery. With my bp still fluctuating during labour and even after delivery, the doctor wanted to keep me till 19th for more monitoring but my sis told her that I’ll be better at home as I’ll get help unlike in hospital baby could not sleep the previous night. So with that she approved for my discharge in the evening of 18th and advised I call in if there’s any issue with me or my baby.
Childbirth isn’t easy but when I look at my handsome prince, I tell myself he’s worth more than the suffering. I thank God for fulfilling His promise in my life as I pray He hears the cries of all ttc mothers and grant their heart desires.

Same here...The only person that can see my tiny bump is dh...Did you do a scan to know you have anterior placenta?

berryBee:

I had anterior placenta during my first pregnancy and didn't feel my baby kick till 20th week.

Bomgirl:


If you are a FTM, your bump will take some time to pop. It's not the fault of your placenta. The kicks may come in around 20 weeks. If by 24 weeks you don't feel kicks, ask your gynae.

BS BS
Long post alert!

I want to first of all thank Almighty God for granting me safe delivery. I say a big thank you Jesus!
I was placed on BP drugs because I developed HPB 7 months after giving birth to my son in Nov 2018. Some days in this pregnancy, the BP will be very high even while I was still on medication. But it later normalised to the point that I was getting readings of 110/70 and the rest on consistent basis.

I also had coexisting fibroids which I had always had with my previous pregnancies. Well, we managed and pulled through until I got to about 37 weeks then I became sick. I treated malaria no way. Went to the hospital and they gave me another dose, yet I wasn't myself. Couldn't breathe well and was always tired.

That was when village people decided to manipulate my digital BP monitor to work against me. It would give me 160/110 but when I rush to the hospital, the hospital manual and digital will give me normal reading.

Anyway, at 38 wks appointment, I complained of the headache I was having to the Obs/Gyn consultant and he said we should go for CS at 39 weeks. That the headache at that stage wasn't a good sign. And that baby was too big coupled with the fibroids. We agreed and picked a date.

Our HMO was contacted and code for payment was sent. But as the date approached, I thought of how to cope after CS with no one to help but hubby. My sweet mother-in-law has been sick and in another state. And I already have a 19 months toddler to handle. I told hubby I would like to wait till 40 weeks since my boy's labour started exactly when I turned 40wks.

I ran scan to check baby's weight and it was 3.6kg at 39 weeks plus. The fibroids were still little and same as when I had my boy vaginally. And so with no headache and HBP, I made up my mind to wait till 40 weeks.

Exactly on 16th, which was the real date my LMP gave me as due date (40wks), my water broke. This was around 6:30pm. I got up from the chair and noticed that I was dripping fluid. After about 30 minutes, cramps set in. It was coming in quick succession but nothing unbearable. But since the water had broken, I thought the labour might not take time so we concluded that it would be safer to head straight to the hospital.

I got there, was checked and I was only 3cm. After about 3 hours, I was at 4cm. Then the main pain started creeping in. The doc on duty told me that I could try vaginal delivery since I had given birth before. But that the consultant said I wasn't to be induced cos of my condition.

That was how I laboured and yet I wasn't progressing. They later took me to the labour room around 4am. The pains were now more intense yet, I was stuck. Then at about 10 am, I got to 6-7cm. By then, the contraction was crazy. It was like the baby wanted to push both my anus and abdomen out at the same time. I was writhing in pain. My BP was just going up and down.

They called the consultant again and he told them to add oxytocin in a certain quantity to the drip to augment the contraction. I started having back to back hellish contraction with baby stuck at 8cm. I was screaming down the hospital and asking for CS, but those midwives and nurses were busy pointing out that I ran away when I was supposed to come for the CS, and that having gotten to 8cm, they wouldn't let me go for it again.

My sisters, I was already dying, they would choke hand to check and I would still be at 8cm. They would say that baby was definitely more than that 3.6kg scan gave me and must be the reason baby was no longer descending.

The matron even said I should push at that 8cm that they could reach my baby's head just that it's a little high. I stupidly started pushing but for where. Thinking of it now, that was a stupid and costly thing she asked me to do cos I could have torn my uterus which would have been a more serious case. They just didn't want me to go through CS after the long hours of labour.

I was crying and begging them to call the gynea to come and do the CS, and they kept urging me to wait. I called for my husband but they wouldn't let him in. God then sent another doc in who is familiar with me and he was the one that mentioned that it was risky asking me to push at the stage since baby's head wasn't where it ought to be before I could be asked to push. He called it one medical term like that.

Before he came in, the MD of the hospital had already come in to ask if everything was alright cos I was really screaming. They wanted to dismiss him by telling him that there was no problem. But I called out to him and asked him to pls call the doc for CS. He then started making arrangement for another doc to come and do it since the consultant they usually use said he was in a meeting.

So after my friendly doc came and admonished the midwives, about 20 minutes later, the team for the CS landed.
The guy administering the anesthetic was very proactive. He gave me the first shot at my back but the thing didn't enter. They were already rushing to cut me to get baby out but I felt the pain which was why they repeated the shot. My abdomen down to my legs then became numb. The other doc then cut me and brought out the baby. I was numbed, but I was still feeling the pains kind of.

I was feeling what they were doing to the point that I grabbed the hands of the doc and his assistant to yank off but they stopped me. Mehn, CS no easy at all!
I was screaming in a tired voice: "So this is how CS is". I was asking them to stop that I was dying. They brought oxygen and fixed to my nose. I overheard the doc carrying out the surgery telling the other guy that he removed a fibroid.

At that point, the guy that administered the anesthetics was calling for blood and they brought one which he quickly warmed up and gave me through the line he had already set up. That guy was so proactive and knew his job. It was like he knew what he was doing more than the main guy that carried out the CS sef.

After everything, they stitched me up and wheeled me to the recovery room. And guess what? Baby's weight was really 3.6kg. I was told that serious cord held the baby which was probably why she wasn't descending beyond 8cm. That she was already turning blue when she was brought out. Had I wasted another minute pushing, the story would have been different. God forbid!

The nurses now started coming back to shine teeth after they almost allowed me to die just because according to them, I ran away from CS by not coming when I was booked initially.

Me, I gave it to them o. You don't know my reason for waiting till 40 weeks. My mother in law who is usually my backbone after delivery has been sick. If not that I have an exceptional husband, who else would have helped me after the CS?

My elder sister is good with cooking and stuffing me with food, but she is so fearful of new born babies and can't bathe them ( I was the one that handled hers for her).

If I was running away like the nurses said, I wouldn't have come back to the same hospital nah. I wouldn't have given our HMO the go ahead to approve payment ahead of the planned CS. If baby had descended to 10cm I would have pushed her out. Highest I will end up with tear.

And when you call the nurses to help you clean or feed baby formula, the young ones among them will be pointing out how it wasn't their job to do so. Being dependent on ppl is one other major reason ppl like me run away from CS.

I was told the CS procedure was a little above 3 hours.

Anyway, in everything, I give God all the glory and I have more respect for women whether you gave birth vaginally or through CS. None is easy having gone through both, and my prayer is that at the end of the day, all of you will be rewarded with carrying your 9 months package with no loss recorded.

To our GTC mothers, you are next in line for a miracle.
May the journey be easier for the rest of the pushing mamas. Forgive me for the long post.

BS submitted!

Team November, How are we doing? I presume all of us is now in the rocking stage(2nd trimester). Please, lets all enjoy this period as it is period of enjoyment.

Hope we are rocking the new bumpy look and managing the heavy like weight!!!!!!!

No chase oga ooo. Remember, pregnancy is in already and another one isn't adding to it after its in. Let us revive the ministry. All the shot that was missed in the first trimester must be replayed.
grin grin grin
If you are not comfortable with the missionary style, there are a lot of other methods like shocked shocked shocked

Side-by-side, from behind

Lie with your partner facing your back and entering from behind. Keep some pillows handy for extra support as your pregnancy progresses.

Penetration tends to be shallower in this position. That's a good thing, because deep thrusts can become uncomfortable in later months.

From behind, doggy style

Support yourself on your knees and elbows as your partner kneels and enters from behind. A pillow can provide needed tummy support.

Side-by-side, at an angle

You each lie on your side, your bodies creating a V-shape. Wedge a pillow under your back for support as you face your partner, and rest both legs over his hip. This position allows him to keep most of his weight off your belly

On a chair

Straddle your partner as he sits on a sturdy chair. Position the chair near a wall or another piece of furniture to lean on when you're ready to get up from this position.

Edge of the bed

Shift your bottom to the side or foot of the bed and lie back with your knees bent. (After the first trimester, wedge a pillow under one side so you're not completely flat on your back.)

Depending on the height of the bed, your partner can kneel or stand.

Spooning



Spooning isn't just sweet for getting cuddly. It can also be a super-comfortable way to have pregnant sex, because there's no pressure on your abdomen and you have lots of movement. Plus, your partner can position themselves behind you at different angles to allow for penetration.

Capo @Patking. Sorry for my silence, I was fighting battles.
Congratulations, diz our God is so wonderful even when doctors has given up on any situation that is wen our God will show up...

Birth announce and Birth story.

My EDD was May 10 but because I was opting for elective CS, I joined Team April.

January 31 after Eating one sweet porridge Yam, I noticed I felt wet. I entered the bathroom to check, immediately I pulled my underwear, a large pool of blood poured. I was rushed to the hospital where it was discovered I had a total placenta abruption.

Dr. Said she has to do an immediate Csection to save my life. I was only 25 weeks and 4 days (6.5 months) pregnant. My baby was brought out weighing 748grams.

As she laid in her isolette and the doctors not giving any hope, I cried to God, begging him to save her and pledging that I will share her testimony round the world. I said "please heal her and make her testimony draw souls to Christ."

God had mercy on us. He saved her. He kept her. He gave us a song and His words in John 11 VS 4 which was my prayer did not fall to the ground.

We were told the 1st 24 hours were crucial. The hospital where I gave birth has a low level NICU and so she had to be airlifted to another hospital. They were not sure how she will do on the flight but God kept her.

We had a tough start.
She went through:
1. 9 initial intubation trial
2. PDA(An open hole in the heart) which closed after ibruprofen therapy.
3. NEC Suspicion(perforation of the intestine because of its immaturity.
4. 8 blood transfusions
5. 41 days on the ventilator
6. We later moved to CPAP another breathing machine. A total of 43days on CPAP
7. She was moved to regular Oxygen. She didn't hold up well and went back to CPAP. She was tried again and it was ok. She is off all support.
8. Uncountable Xrays and ultrasounds
9. 2 MRIs.

God saved my baby. I totally depended on God and pleaded with him for mercy. My heart was in shambles but God gently put them together. I drew comfort from God's words and knew I could not give up. I said this bible verse everyday



" John 11 vs 4, When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."

We had a great team at the NICU(Neonatal Intensive care unit) who God used to take good care of my daughter.

After 108 days, I got to take my daughter home.

It is time to tell the world about the Miracle call Eloghosa. We spent 108 day in the NICU. At discharge she weighed 3.7kg. Is God not good?

Her name means It is not difficult with God.

God is Awesome.

John 11 vs 4.

When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."

Jeremiah 32: 27

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
