@FlorEC
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy. Thank you so much for your wonderful BS. These prayers: Jesus have mercy on me, mother Mary help me. Jesus I depend on you, I have no power of my own...brought back memories that left me in tears of joy... It's a powerful reminder to me...
God bless you and yours real good!

That's my favourite prayer and also prayer to Mother of Perpetual Succour especially when I'm emotionally down.

Amen and thanks

@FloaEc congrat, inducement pain no be mionmoin ooo & I don't pray to experience it again.

Inducement is back to back pain. You can't control it.

The most important thing is baby alive

Ayaoye:
@FlorEC thanks for the BS, it really inspired me. Abeg I think I will start that trekking from 36 weeks.... I will chose a day and trek from My base in Bodija to Challenge.... Back and forth ...I Don vex . I don't want to be induced I want Labour to start before 38 weeks. Kisses to your baby

Trek if you're pain tolerant like me oo and know the kind of body you've.

sweetlady4real:
@FlorEC, Congratulations mama, you are the real MVP. For you to hold up that much before leaving for the hospital is a big deal. You knew what you wanted as per labour and delivery, worked towards it, went for it and the Lord backed you up. You are a strong woman, no doubt. Regards to your LO.

I wish all preggy mamas here, smooth, safe and supernatural deliveries. Our ears shall hear nothing but good news in Jesus Name, Amen.

I've experienced induced labor pain, the fear alone gave me the morale to continue trekking.
The joy of sitting down without pain in the jaijaina is sweet o. Mama's wey no dy get tear are flexing ọ. Baby is now suckling well

Amen

BS

It'll surely end in praise was/is my motto, dunno if I should use motto thoo in this pregnancy. But I believe everything happens for a reason.
After the birth of my son in 2018, which was dramatic and very very very painful, labored from 11am-11:52pm through induction that he came with a perinal tear. I went for fp at 6wks ppt which lasted for 3m. Removed it cos it messed up my hormones. I was on pills and I couldn't do billings cos my period wasn't steady.
Nov 2019, when I went for my sister trad, everybody was telling me how slim I was etc, my friend jokingly oo according to her told me that my tummy is bulging out unlike me. Na only that statement enter me. While bathing, I touched the lower part of my tummy close to my uterine wall, it was hard. Ahhh! I told myself, this is it. On my way back to Lag from the East, I purposely sat at the back, na for that tyre side. All the potholes and gbim gbim na for my waist e land. When I got home, I tested using HPT, positive. Double thick lines.

I cried, I really cried. Premium tears before I accepted my fate.
Pregnancy journey was dramatic, emotional, with challenges but it ended in praise. Thanks to friends turn family that were always there for me. I'm greatly grateful. Eshe
Fast-forward to 32wks, I was tired of the back and hip pains, I never slept on my left side due to left renal cyst(hopefully I'll go for scan and have it removed) and the pains I can't explain, was dark and getting round. Chasing after 2 hyperactive children although one is a bit calmer.

35wks I started exercising (trekking, kegel etc), I was scared of induction or VE, I was confessing positively and reading up how/what to do to fall into labor without induction.
Last week Thursday, I purged throughout the night(watery poo) with mild contractions, I knew it was a sign but the fear of being induced and somebody looking for lost treasure in my jaijaina kept me back at home. I started exercising, introduced zobo drink and pineapple to help since I was already 37wks. On Wed, 15 July, started having mild contractions in the morning, very manageable but I told myself I won't allow this contraction to waste. I had a hot tea, poured hot water mixed with lil cold almost a lukewarm water inside a bath bowl, sat inside it until it became almost cold. Had warm water bathe and left for the market.
Just 3k ogbono soup stuff I can buy from the street, mba I left my house and trekked to iyanaiba market(the ecobank side) bought everything I needed to buy. Trekked from there to Alaba international(tokunbo side) to buy an electric cake mixer. When I was through, I trekked back home from there(aswear people that knows where I stay will understand). When I got back home, the contraction was still manageable, I drank my remaining 2 ragolis 75cl zobo, cooked ogbono soup and beans, ate small indomie noodle and a cup of 2 satchel � plain lipton. Walked around the compound with my children and danced too. While replying bimberry1307, I was laying on my left side, the contraction was still manageable.
Called my aunt and told her, she told me to still walk around and come let's go to the hospital when is serious. I shared dinner for everybody at home, gave my girl instructions since hubz wasn't around and left for another round of trekking around 7pm. When the contraction hit, I was still walking with my mouth open, I trekked to the church, visited the Blessed Sacrament. On my way home, the contraction wasn't friendly again, ahhh! was murmuring JESUS have mercy, Mother MARY help me till I got to my aunt house. Her husband started the car immediately cos I was already shouting I want to poo-poo, baby is coming and the distance from my side to my hospital is far, very far coupled with the tankers on the road and the portholes. I kept shouting I want to poopoo oo and had my legs together with my jaijaina tighten, finally we got to the hospital around 9, my aunt was shouting come and carry her up oo. The nurse that came out told me to try and climb the stairs. I told her if I dare open my legs, baby will slip out and wee wee is coming. Doctor carried me up straight to the labor ward, I parted my legs even before he said anything and I kept chanting Jesus I depend on you, for I have no power of my own.

Doc checked and saw the water bulging out, immediately he broke the water, baby's head slipped out. He told me to stop pushing that baby has cord around his neck, I told him that I'm not pushing that baby is slipping out on his own. He told me to try and control it so he can cut off the cord around the neck that I'm his mother. I don't know how I did it but I did it, baby part slipped off immediately he cut the cord just on his own without me pushing. Dunno how it happened, even doc asked me how many days have I been laboring. Baby was given 3taps on his butt and he gave out the loudest cry ever. Placenta was delivered, I was cleaned up and injected to stop bleeding. They took me to the bathroom where they bathe me with semi hot water before they took me to the room.

We are still having latching problem but I'm pumping and administering Nan 1.

Thanks for all the love here, forever grateful. Safe delivery to everyone here and it'll surely end in praise. ♥ ♥

bimberry1307:
This is exactly what happened to me today. After the close of work, DH was waiting for me to take me home. Na so my aproko colleagues and my boss tell him to let me walk as my house is about half km from office. Chai, I nearly cry even though I know it's gonna be good for me. Since I entered my house now, I still feel some cramps in my tommy when I lie down
Thanks @bolded and amen to your prayers

If I talk now, somebody wee comman drag me to the hospital.

Not up to 5m, like 2min self. But it's coming and going. Just under my tummy.

It'll end in praise

Bisade44:
I understand, I want your number personally. The group is a suggestion.

Hope no problem. You can pm

Bisade44:
@FlorEC can I have your WhatsApp number?

Thinking we should have a WhatsApp mummy group for support and advice. I noticed after submitting BS most mothers just leave.

It’s just a suggestion

I'm very sorry ma, but I'm not a group kinda somebody, the drama I kent handle. Anything that happens on NL should stay there, if you ever experience NL drama ehhh, you'll shalaye.

Some are actually in a group though, especially the 2015/2016 mamas although I'm not sure if it still works.

IMHO tho

bimberry1307:
My people, I have come again o. I went for a scan this morning and I got another different EDD date as July 28

Isn't God great?

Wow, congratulations mama. Quick recovery too

Pearl05:
Thank you dear, no mind that your lecturer with his packing gel trouser.

What about the Echo complex ....myome measuring... flow in doppler kini kini

I know myoma is fibroid. Anterior myoma is front of the uterus.
Echo complex in the anterior myoma measuring bla bla bla, I don't understand.

Is better you discuss with your doctor even when he tells you is nothing to worry about. No gree

Pearl05:
We went for scan and discovered that we are having Princess.

Team October Cappo, please update our gender to XX. EDD 16/10/



Mama FlEC please help interpret this for me. Will be seeing the Dr. on Thursday and it seem too far.

The doc name that referred you first caught my attention. Iheukwumere, reminds me of MCB lecturer in the uni, always forming strict, pulling his trousers like packing gel while teaching Na borrow I borrowed the course, got E in Immunology/immunochemistry. Nonsense and mendemende.

Thursday is not far but lemme try

Ebonybiuty:
Thanks mama. Will be 39 weeks tomorrow actually. I thought mucus plug comes dayssss before labour starts. Pardon my curiosity, I’m a FTM

No ma
Loosing mucus plug means labor is about to start. Sometimes immediately, sometimes in few hrs or more

Ebonybiuty:
Good evening dear mamas. This is my first comment on the thread. I’m due July 21 and till now, I am yet to loose my mucus plug.

Is it compulsory one must lose mucus plug before Labour starts? Or is it like the case of water breaking which can be done at the hospital during labour?

Thanks

21st far small, you should be 38/39 wks now. Calm down � ok

Babygal2020:
It is thick. I didn't try to disintegrate it.
Thank you mama

I believe is cervical mucus then

Babygal2020:
Good morning mamas, pls I need help.

I noticed a thick white discharge in my va.gina....

Could it be mucus plug? I'm 36 weeks plus


I'm a FTM

Is it gelatinous asin stretchy and egg white in color? If it's just white and not stretchy then I believe is cervical mucus.

goldendollars:
So ure team July and not August.

No August, if you calculate it weekly. Will be 40wks 2 Aug but was told 8Aug according to scan.

bimberry1307:
Ehyya, sorry about the diarrhoea stuff. That thing can be really frustrating. 37 weeks! Ha wouldn't mind to have my baby at 37 weeks o. This tiredness is not an easy something abeg. Whenever it pleases God sha, may we all find favour.

Thanks dear, very frustrating especially after losing all your strength in pooing and trying to push in the flesh that came out

Same here, if baby will come out now, no problem but I'll prefer going for anything induction by next week. Lemme watch if my body will fall into labor on its own.

Amen. It'll end in praise

Goldenheart002:
Wow!!! Never fallen into labor? Dis is new to me. Are u always induced due to ur body wanting it or passing EDD?. My doc made it sound as if I can pop wen I like, if na by choice I for don do naming sef

On my own, no, always induced. My body don't fall into labor on its own, I can stay 2cm dilated for 3days without progressing unless I'm induced. Anytime I see show in mucus plug or plain blood, they schedule me for an induction.

Same with my doc, told me I should come when I notice anything.

zaynie:
Woiz doing you sef?
This is your third child o, the baby will most likely come before EDD.
Start preparing yourself for birth biko.
Just try.
It'll only end in praise

I'll go on Monday if it continues. Doc refused to give me anything when I complained of diarrhoea, he told me my body is preparing.
My hospital bag is in the hospital already, dropped it on Thursday.

Thanks mama

Goldenheart002:
Ayam not understanding oh, reading through ur previous posts I can affirm we've been having same symptoms in dis journey, is it bcoz we have same EDD?

I'm confuse about my frequent false contractions but more confused wen my doc says I can come and birth my baby anytime I'm ready and willing? Pls what are d things to be expected as a STM? With my first, I woke up with contractions on my 40th week and knew it was real labor but with dis one, I no even understand belle again

Dunno you're Aug.

Even now my tummy is strong like baby is pushing it and a lil pain in my pelvic bone but it'll release after some min. I still poo watery poopoo and is as if my bum bum is stretching(TMI), no pains. Just a swift waist pain, nobody shuu tell me is labor oo My hubz is not even around.

Assuming I went to hospital yesterday, they must induce me and I'm not prepared yet. My doc told me anytime that I'm ready, I should come.

If it persist maybe till night, I'll kukuma go although no sign yet.

I don't know what to expect as a stm, I've never fallen into labor on my own. Just sign, paaam I'm induced.

It'll end in praise.

bimberry1307:
Yeah!!! It's the great month of July, my birthday month. I'm super excited cos I can peep at August now.

August mamas with grace, how are we all doing. I
#

By His Grace, I'm fine.
Been visiting the loo uncountable times(morning till night) yesterday and it was watery poo(TMI) aka diarrhoea which later made me weak and dizzy.
Contraction was hitting me but I knew it was false labor although I didn't time ⌚ it. Everybody was telling me to go to the hospital, I should not birth at home but I knew heading to hospital means induction and I'm mentally not prepared for it. If I bend, wahala, I tried walking up and down on the stairs but my legs were too heavy for me to lift.

I slept off, woke up this morning was as if nothing happened yesterday.

37wks5days and baby's weight according to scan is 3.2kg.

It'll surely end in praise.

Hope you're good too

Bisade44:
Sabi mamas, Meconium was seen in the amniotic fluid at 34 weeks. Please hope there is no problem?

That's baby first poo poo, please go to the hospital.

Happy birthday sis, God bless you and grant all your heart desires nne m. You're blessed.

If I dy ph, will just get cake for you but I'll definitely come one day

Ayaoye:
I don't think we should discourage people from pouring Out their mind online. This could be the only Plateform where she might be able to discuss such. Do you know if she has meet others like friends and family and they tell her to keep pushing? People will always judge you even people you tell your matter to physically..... So many women keep mute scared of judgment and they end up dead. abeg if coming online will ease your burden and to get the necessary help please don't hesitate to ask. the world is now a global village, help can come from anywhere. Just last week a lady cried out online and she got the necessary help she needs, some people just need an e-hug to feel human again. @.

I didn't discourage her, she should not go into more details that's all. The more details she give, the more they quote her and probe her, even when she takes down the post, they've already quoted her. I know this thread, if they'll use it against her, hian that one is a small something. I'll rather tell my problem to some persons from this forumn or give a brief description. Want to share your problem on this thread, go ahead but do not go into more details even when probed


When we type with emotions, we go deeper into more details. The first thing they'll do is to ask her was he like this before, then when she answer, they'll keep on probing her.

Is not about judgement, I don't even know how to explain it. Some will keep on probing her to know more, some will lend a helping hand and advice her genuinely, some will gather to read and some will try to use it against her tomorrow especially when it turns out good for her. They'll even go as far as searching for her post to mock her. Human beings are wired differently.

That's why I told her she's the only one that knows what she's going through and should know the best step to take. Theirs nothing like is a phase, she knows where the shoe hurts, she knows if she'll harden up and continue or leave.

At the bold, definitely that's what they will do in this thread, e-hug her and maybe get baby things for her too and also build her up.

Pls I don't like derailing thread, I wish everyone the best in their marriage but when you want to drop your problem online, apply wisdom.

bimberry1307:
My people, I've come again o. I was in the office today o when I sighted this woman selling Akpu (fufu). I've been craving for the thing since fa. Na so I ran after the woman o and I bought some.
