Thank you so much to everyone for the prayers and wishes, I am grateful.

I went to the hospital on Thursday,30th of April to complain at the emergency unit that I was 40weeks plus and was asked to return the next day to see my consultant. I went back on Friday,1st May and the doctor admitted me immediately. He told me to call hubby to bring my bag but I said I'd come back and signed an undertaking.
Got home and and gisted hubby. Took Fortune to his grandma and informed her I was going for induction.
Went back home,did the dishes in the sink,washed mine and Fortune's clothes that were dirty and had my bath. I told hubby to bring bag at night and left with immediate hospital needs. I wanted people to believe I was just going out normally. I underwent cervical Ripening at around 4pm thereabouts and was moved to the ward.
Catheter dropped while I was bathing on Saturday morning around 6:19. And nurse moved me to labour ward after breakfast.
At around 10:30,I was checked and at 4cm dilation.
I was just wondering how long it would take.Few minutes after doctor did membrane sweep to hasten dilation, painful something. Later Oxytocin drip was passed and the junior doctor was kind enough to let me know the pain was about to start.
I was praying. My neighbor was screaming and I remembered my first time. I didn't want to scare her. Besides screaming wouldn't help, the nurses will just ignore me even when I need them.
I was clutching the burglar proof and the bed. I felt like climbing through the burglar proof. I took comfort in consoling myself with the thought of my soon to arrive princess and the scenery outside the window when I could.
The female junior doctor suffered at intervals because I pulled on her hands and clothes when she came to check the progress of the contractions.
But rather than scream,I resolved to praying for easy delivery without tears or cuts,I dread that so much.
I was convulsing with the contractions and suddenly I wanted to pee. I was wondering why pee instead of poo but whenever I tried to pee it didn't come.
Suddenly after two consecutive contractions,I screamed "I want to poo". Nurse checked and said I was almost there but baby's head is not totally down, I was 8cm gone. By then the other woman was shouting and they saw she was ready. They proceeded to assist her.
I was holding it but it got worse. I screamed louder that I wanted to poo and proceeded. As poo was dropping she was crowning. Na so a sister dug into me and asked me to continue,I pushed and more poo came and she slid out immediately. They weren't expecting me to have her yet. Doctor was talking about "helping her come down".
She came out screaming loudly and was handed to me. Placenta came out easily too and my heart skipped when the nurse checked for tears and said I was okay. I started thanking God and crying.
It was just as I asked God for! I was grateful. We were later moved into the post natal ward. I woke up yesterday morning and cried unto God, thanking him for his mercies. I am not perfect,Godly or special,I am just blessed and don't take HIS grace for granted. Thank you all for being with me through this journey. May God ease our paths,make delivery easy for the still belleful mamas, bless the wanting wombs and heal our homes. Amen. Over and out!

Sorry, but doesn't look appealing. Msy be more oil, fresh cut rodo and less water would make it look more appetizing.

Pele, that's what my almost popping Belle craves. You can cook yours that way. Thanks

Dig in!

My pregnancy started as an easy ride to the Glory of God, got my BFP 4 or 5 weeks after wedding. Morning sickness came at six weeks and lasted till 14 weeks thereabout. I had different Edd's varying from 18th to 21st to 25th to 27th but I decided to go with 21st. I was able to work through the pregnancy, took bike through bumpy roads to and fro every day yet God remained faithful. Fast forward to 32 weeks, I did a scan that showed cord around neck, reported at my clinic and was told all was well. At my 34 weeks appointment a doctor saw me and told me I needed to be worried cos I was having painful contractions too. I did a doppler and it showed all was well. However, from 35 weeks I just started having negative feelings and at times I won't feel the baby move for hours. I would tell my husband and he would say I was worrying abou nothing. Due to the corona virus pandemic, the last clinic I attended was at 34 weeks I think. My hospital closed antenatal and were only attending to emergency and labor cases. At 36 weeks I started taking ewedu and chewing 4 dates daily in my mind to prepare my cervix. At 37 weeks plus 1 day, I started having very painful menstrual cramps and I was excited that labour was beginning to start. Two days later I went for scan as I felt there was reduced movement and I still had painful contractions. Scan showed all was well with baby and cervix still closed and my husband was like I told you. That night and the night after I had serious Braxton Hicks and didn't feel baby move all through so I decided to call my doctor that Thursday morning. She told me to report to the hospital immediately, keep track of the movements and keep an open mind regarding CS. We went to the hospital, I was sent for a doppler which came back normal but I was still having contractions, however that particular doppler showed that I had a slightly elevated amount of amniotic fluid. Cervix was checked and was closed so I was admitted to be monitored for contractions. Fetal vitals was checked all through till the following morning and I was to be discharged. The doctor that was to discharge me came around to check fetal vitals and discovered fetal tachycardia. He immediately told me to prepare for emergency CS. He called my husband who had become very scared and told him the things to do and forms to sign. I was moved to labor ward, fetal vitals came back normal again so they strapped me to a CTG machine. It kept showing normal vitals till about 3 hours later when the heart rate started going up and coming down dangerously. I was moved to the theater 12 hours after the first diagnosis was made. While in the theater the devil struck, first spinal anesthesia failed, I was told if the second failed I would be knocked out. Second one was successful an the operating table gave way after with my head almost falling and all the doctors had to quickly grab me. Procedure was successful to the Glory of God. Baby came out screaming his lungs out at 9:11pm weighing 3.2kg. Spinal Headache lasted for days and in all I'm grateful to God for this bundle of joy.

Congratulations,God bless your baby

My cutie catwalked excited into mother earth on Thursday, 2nd April, 2020 weighing 4.4kg at 39 weeks 6 days. I was happy when she skipped April 1st
We're home safe and dry. B.S coming up when I'm able to write it. My adorable came with foodie anointing and I'm here wondering if exclusive would work for us.

Thanks able Cappo, and congrats to my teamies too, Jennykoko and Davsquared, my birth mates. Abi una plan am?

Congratulations to you three. May God bless the little ones and make them the coolness of your eyes.

I don't think it matters once the couple is in agreement. I and my husband are from the same tribe and our son is named after my FIL. That's his first name which most people know but he has other names and he answers to them. My husband marvels at how at 2plus he answers to about five different names,lol.

lioha:


I didn't go for antenatal yesterday because of the lockdown the worst part is that as an early April mama, am yet to buy baby things. I pray the whole lockdown issue ends soon.

The heaviness and tightness no be here again. Sleep nko? Na war. All the same may the lord's name be praised for bringing us dis far.

Why not patronize Zaynie before she runs out of stock? I'm glad I got the few things I needed from her.

Congratulations,God bless him

Thanks ma'am. Honestly I've read a few about that. That's why I'm quite scared. But just thought to monitor it for a while and she isn't so keen with going to the hospital right now with all the covid-19 stuff happening. But the consolation I have now is that the headaches happen when she wakes in the morning till like midday and that's all (don't know if that's any consolation tho'). She's feeling quite alright and up and about as I write this now. From what I read, preempclapsia headache isn't limited to just mornings. What d'you think ma?

Pregnancy is different strokes for different folks. I'd advise you coax madam into seeing a doctor to avoid stories that touch, please.

Testimony Time!
If you're not doing business with Zaynie you're on a loong thing. I got my stuff today and couldn't wait to tear open the package,even my colleagues at work were cooing over the clothes. Nice designs and the feel against your skin! Plus a gift too.

Pls i was given malaria drug on the first of march,i forgot to take it but due to corona scare i took it yesterday since then i have been having serious headache and weakness but no temperature, which means i have serious malaria.

Should i go to the hospital to request for more drugs or the one they gave me is enough(they gave me swipha 3tablet to be taken at once)? I am so down and very scared of hospitals.

I experienced this not long ago. the drug you took yesterday is preventive but since you are already feeling that way you need to go back to get proper treatment for malaria.
