On the 8th/9th I didn't sleep till almost 04:00 am,I was praying and crying. My parents that I always abandon in the middle of prayers left me on my mat. I got up early on the 9th,prepared my cousins and sent them off to coaching with the exception of the youngest,I was her tutor. I occupied her with letter work and simple addition while I cleared the kitchen sink,washed the bathroom and toilet till they sparkled and did a little laundry as I didn't want to come back from delivery to meet dirty clothes. My mum was astonished. After all that nothing happened still other than excruciating back ache. On Thursday,10th August I did all I wanted to,engaged my cousin as usual and asked mum to continue with her while I dashed to the hospital to carry out the Biophysical Profile and that I'd show it to Alhaja (chief matron of my ANC) and I'd let her speak to my mum on the next step to take (this was to calm my mum cos she was afraid of induction going awry nd having to resort to CS). I met Alhaja who asked why I was still waddling and I told her,she said to bring the result to her when it's out.
I got my result around past 3pm,baby's estimated weight was 3.9kg,and we were rated 4/8. I went to Chief with the result and the 1st thing she said was "stand beside me",she started on how she wasn't sure I could deliver vaginally considering my height and the baby's weight. I called mum and Alhaja just told her she'd do what was right for me and I would let her know if I needed her. We proceeded to the emergency unit where the doctor on call examined me and said OS was still closed,he had 2 of his colleagues with him. Alhaja rang for the senior doctor on call and he arrived with another colleague and I was being spoken of like a specimen. 'Are you sure you're 1.52m tall?' 'We'll have to bring this one (baby) out ni o!' And all. I was told I would be admitted and I was given a list of things to get. I called my mum and she set out. I was distraught with all I heard but I had to be strong,I couldn't call DH- he was at work. I called hunniesuzie (God bless her) and I narrated everything in tears. She calmed me and told me to go ahead with induction but keep an open mind for CS and prepare to bear the pains of delivery,she and her mum were with me in prayers. I cried and cleaned up before my mum arrived and I furnished her with as little info as I could. By the time I was ready to go into the ward it was almost 6pm and the dr gave us another list of drugs, injectibles and all. The procedure was for 12:00am,Friday morning. We were three,two were induced using tab Misoprostol while I was taken to the labour room, stripped,a cartheter inserted and something pumped into me (they called it transvaginal whatever)then I was moved back into the ward. Sometimes during the night contractions started and two of us were moved into the labour room. I watched my partner scream and cry till she delivered and I was just praying,contractions stopped and I went back to the ward. The doctors came round and said I couldn't be given anything till 12pm, so I was abandoned. I kept having false contractions till about 2pm or so when my mum was asked to get more drugs and the doctor came around to rupture my membranes. I was placed on oxytocin drip and then drama started.

BS
My Birth Story
My EDD was july 31st 2017 but as God will have it nothing happened. Before long I'd been having on and off contractions but nothing real. Other scans gave me August 1st and 9th respectively but I had hoped to have my baby before my first EDD. At the last ANC (7th August), doctor told me to come in on the 9th to be induced and asked me to go for a Biophysical Profile to know if baby could withstand the stress of induction. I got home,told my parents and DH and we concluded that I wasn't going to be induced,we all hoped Fortune would arrive before 9th. On the night of the 8th I told DH and my mum I would wait till 10th and if nothing happened I'd go in. I'd been holding vigils most nights since insomnia was dealing with me,what better way to spend the night than turning to my creator. I told Allah Ta'ala all I wanted,pre delivery,during and post delivery. I told God I wanted to experience natural childbirth, asked God that HE is Kabiesi and NOBODY dares question HIS authority if HE grants my heart wishes. I told God I didn't want weeping,sorrow,grief or loss associated to my childbirth. I couldn't get the supernatural childbirth ebook cos of my phone issue but I had so many prayer points,down to my PCV issue.

Phlakkeys,I cried when I saw your post. Innalillahi wahina ileahi rajihun! I'm not going to say anything in the form of condolences because you've conquered already. And God has said that what is coming is better than what is gone,please hold on to that. Congratulations in advance on your BFP!

@ Katchycouture congrats,God bless and keep her for you,amen. Phlakkeys,please send me a PM,my thoughts and prayers are with you honey!

*What was ur pre-pregnancy weight? You need to put that to check before worrying about ur weight.
At my 33 weeks appointment I weighed 77kg .
*For Milo was advised to stop taking it once I entered 3rd trimester
*No matter the quantity of milk I put in my Lipton,
I lose strength once I take it.As in.I become very weak. So I don't take it. Whether u eat or not, if ur baby will be big/small nothing can change it.
With all the food my sis Forzarush ate, Fortune weighted 3.2kg....That's a miracle. Was expecting 5.something >

See how God is exposing my enemies via confession,lol! I don't eat much at once but my mouth is almost always busy,I've been a fussy eater since I was little and have sweet teeth. I used to take lipton/Top tea and had milo on few occassions but here I am with my 3.2 cutie

Why do you feel so entitled to ppls money? Dropping ur acct number and expecting cash to roll in, just like that?because you are who? Imagine the audacity

We all know the economy isn't smiling but she didn't portray any 'entitlement' and how else would she get the money without the acc no,let's just not lose our humanity if we can't help. Mbok.

Evening mamas,hope we're having a good day? May this week be a favourable one,amen. It's Prayer Monday but today I just want to give thanks and no, it's not a B.A.
Almighty Allah Subuhanahu Watahala,we give You thanks,praises,honour and we glorify your name, subhanallah walhamdulillah! We say alhamdulillah for the gift of life,for sound health,for family, for our LOs (both in the womb and outside),our DHs and all that is tied to us. We say alhamdulillah for the manifestation of your works and omnipotence in our lives! We say alhamdulillah for our health assistants from the highest ranking to the lowest. We thank you Ya Rabb for ramah,salam,sabr,shukr and barakah. It can only be You and You alone! For all these and more we say Alhamdulillahi Rabbil al ameen! Ameen.

lady25:
Hello mamas. Please since last week anytime I lay down to sleep (on my side) I feel like I am not breathing well. I have to use my mouth to breathe or sit up for a while before I feel better. Please is this normal or is there a solution? I can't sleep well at night

I've been experiencing same for the past month or so,sorry.

Momagic:
Hello mamas.
I'm new here. Yay! I just joined today cos there are loads of stuff to gain and of course something to give back. I've been a visitor for some weeks now. I'm currently expecting a baby and 16 weeks gone.

I dunno if I'm allowed recommend something for mamas experiencing MS-Vitamin B6 and Unisom. I dealth with severe nausea n vomitting and when I say nothing worked I mean nothing! Not crackers,ginger, or whatever I saw listed here worked for me. VIT B6 and unisom combo works like magic. You can google it and read all about the required dosage. I take 50g vit B6 2ce daily and 1/2 unisom twice daily. As recommended by my doc. Make sure you use them together. If you can't drink water take it with whatever you can keep down. For me it was ICE. You will immediately feel better as you become able to eat something and drink more because what worsens MS is starvation,dehydration and stress. Hope this helps.

Giddyperson:
lol I can imagine a preggy lady crying for them when she realises it's no cake. I've seen some nicer looking pictures of such. This one even looks like diapers. Some look so much like real cakes.

With this season,I wouldn't mind not having real cake and make do with the diapers. I'm an aspiring fluff mama.
