AMEN!! all I do all day is CRY and CRY at the thought of sm1 else taking care of my kids,that alone is killing me.
I will start washing and packing hospital bag tommorow and intensify my prayer.
Devil is a LIAR.

my sister the devil is a bastard and you need to erase that thought and be prayerful. We mothers are strong, when those thought comes tell the devil loud and clear that he is bastard that God has done it already, you don't have to cry..try to download supernatural birth by jack maze online , thier are some confessions at the last page of the book. Repeat those confessions morning, afternoon, night. Confess that God has not given you the spirit of fear but of power, love and of a sound mind. Confess that at the end of nine month you will carry your baby. Read psalm 91, 35 ,psalm 29. Also pray d following prayer below...

Dear Ma'am,

Please, help your sis biko.

Experiencing Braxton kicks often, headache and sometimes find it difficult to breath, experiencing high BP(140/90), can't walk properly again and if I manage to walk for 10minites, I will be very tired and weak, as if I've walked for 3days.

I experienced all listed above daily and I am just 35weeks plus.

I visited my hospitals, but they keep sending me back.

Hope all is well with me?

I hope you are using drugs to control the bp, may b you should visit a private hospital just to be safe.

miraclebaby:
I was shaken when I saw quinine. Wickedness at its peak. The doctor didn’t even check your file. If it’s me I’ll go back and question his professionalism. Well, thank God you were saved and you already made a better decision. Get well soon

That is why any drugs I'm given I usually google it before use..I dont trust all this doctors.. D malaria drug i know for pregnant woman is fansidar

SlimBrawnie:
Cappo we are good o, I went for antenatal last Monday & it went very well. Wanted doing a scan but my doctor advised I wait until I'm 36weeks since I don't have any concern/issues. Then on Thursday we took DS to the hospital for immunization. DH didn't take chances at all o, maká corona. We went with a gallon of sanitizer & all wore face mask. I've honestly not been faithful to my drugs but I'm trying sha, I take fruits alot. I still have few things to buy but I'd have to order them, but everything clothing has been taking care of, just things to be applied on the body because I'm concerned about what will be applied on baby skin like cream, oil, bath soap, Vaseline & stuffs like that. I have not packed at all o, i just arranged things, early next month I'd load & wash them. It feels good to know that my plane will finally land next month then I will close shop until 2025 if DH no do me one chance again.

lol..family planing they now..me too o...close shop till 2027 sef

TEAM MAY 2020, APRIL ROLL CALL

Happy New month of April my teamies, May this month be good to us and our household and I pray no plague will come near us. Amen!

How is the lockdown in our area? For me this lockdown has increased my laziness oo My routine is eat, sleep, press phone, eat, sleep. Even body don heavy . It is well

How body and LO? Please don’t allow coro to scare you from your antenatal o, just practice safe distance and always sanitise your hands well. Avoid opening public doors with your hand instead use your leg, elbow or arm.

Last week i landed in my hospital armed with my nose mask, hand gloves and sanitizer. I already plan to go late so they would have done all the singing, dancing and lectures (didn’t expect them to do that again sef considering the situation of things)
On getting there, I was told i dont need to wear gloves as it will pose more danger sef. How When you wear glove, it easily pick up different microbes then you still touch your phone (assuming you need to pick a call) hence transferring microbes to your phone. Or you want to write using a pen, some of the microbe are also transferred to the pen. If you finally throw away the gloves when you are through, you still have the microbes on your phone and pen which will still come back to you. Only doctors can use gloves as such because they discard after each use not wearing one gloves all day long. I just reason the matter and threw the gloves away come face my hand sanitizer.

Shopping nko? I hope we are through with shopping oo, especially with this lockdown. We should start packing our bags in bits now especially those early May mamas. Biko, i no wan hear stories.

We should be in our 35th, 34th, 33rd, 32nd, and 31st weeks now. We're getting there we will finish well with Mum alive, baby alive and Daddy rejoicing with plenty money. Amen.

eemjay17:
Sadly, we lost the pregnancy...it was gone already with the heavy bleeding and lumps. Reason why I don't sub to all this private hospital and their younger Doctors to start with. We went back to the hospital sha, we met another doctor, a female this time. Wifey ran another scam this time around to confirm no remminant is left behind. Doctor inquire about our blood group and recommend she take Rhogan injection. Much thanks for your response.

...all this private hospital..ehn...I'm so sorry about your loss..May God replace your loss with double ijn..Try to console or pamper your wife at this time..also...

mimyselfai:
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?

preeclampsia headaches isn't constant also..it comes and go...I will advice to check her blood pressure, just to rule that out. If its ok ..then she can just take paracetamol or rest, if you cant go to the hospital buy a blood pressure monitor from any pharmacy. Or take her to the pharmacy to check it, for just 100 naira. And the earlier, the better.

BS
On Saturday I went for Anc and to the market afterwards, I had a very normal day. By 11pm I started feeling period like pains, I dismissed it as I had the same pain for more than 2 hours 4 days ago, I went to the hospital and doctor said it was false labour. I sha told hubby and he said it was cos I stressed myself too much that I should try and sleep . I went to bed, but woke up around after 12 with the same pains. As a ftm I was confused as i haven’t seen mucous plug or show, water haven’t broke and my EDD was a week away. I decided to time the contractions. I would doze off and wake up as the pain comes. It was so annoying and exhausting as I didn’t sleep at all the previous day and I was tired. As I timed the contractions I noticed sometimes it was 10,8 or 12 minutes apart.
I decided that once it gets to 3am and the contractions are still coming I’ll go to the hospital. From 11pm to 3am I urinated like 7 times. As soon as it was 3am I told hubby that it was hospital time. I got dressed and went to pee, as I was cleaning up I noticed a thick clear sticky stuff aka mucous plug, I just carried hospital bag.
On our way to the hospital I noticed the contractions time were shorter.
When we got to the hospital my doctor was not on duty, the doctor available took time to check my file. She checked if cervix has dilated and I was 7cm dilated already. I was moved to the delivery room immediately and hurriedly that I’ll deliver soon with the way my labour was progressing.
Next she ruptured my membrane and then the pain went from 10 to 120. I was screaming at this point and a nurse held my hands and was massaging my back. Within 15 minutes I was 9cm already but she said the anterior lip of the cervix ( first time I was hearing this) was still there so we’ll have to wait till it move so I can be fully dilated and push. She could feel baby’s head but the lip was acting as a blockage.
Contractions were still coming back to back, each time it comes doctor will check to see if the anterior lip was still there. Time went by quickly, the nurses left, doctor was coming and going calling someone on the phone.
I asked them to let my husband in. He came in and all I said in a faint voice was “Baby pray”, he held my hands and started praying, calling our daughter’s name to come forth. Each time contractions hits I’ll be shouting “God have mercy”, “God help me”, “Doctor help me”, but if it stops I’ll join my husband in praying and calling our daughter’s name.
I was already weak and exhausted, they brought in oxygen. After some time a doctor called hubby outside, he told him have been on this stage for almost 2 hours and CTG shows fetal distress, that they’ll have to bring the baby out via CS in 30 minutes time and they asked him to sign CS form.
He sha signed the form and he told me, I on my part was thinking why would I have to go through labor pain and still undergo CS. I would have opted for ELCS If I had known. But I just wanted the pain to stop and 30 minutes seemed like forever.
Contractions were still coming, and my doctor refused to leave my side at this stage, she was like I know you can give birth via vaginal delivery , each time contractions come she’d check and the lip was still there. 30 minutes almost over she checked and the lip was gone, I was fully dilated and told to push, where I take see strength.. I couldn’t push, was so exhausted.
Doctor, hubby and the nurses were encouraging me to push. I tried several times, nothing happened. CS doctor came in and said oya to the theater. My doctor was stimulating the contractions so it would come quicker. I don’t Where or how I got the strength but at the second push my baby girl popped out giving me many tears, screaming at the top of her lungs. I was just muttering thank you Jesus.
The stitching was on another level but in all I give God all the glory. Mother and baby are healthy and that is all that matters.
Cappo birthstory submitted, and prayers for all my fellow remaining march mamas and Gtc mamas.

wow congratulations ma.. Glory to God.. Who is cutting onions..

Hello mothers.
We're expecting our second child and wifey is in her 15th week. First trimester went as smoothly as the first pregnancy. No morning sickness, no vomiting, no fatigue or anything. This pregnancy was like that until a few days ago. She started complaining about headaches and all. Told her to rest and Dr asked her to take paracetamol at a time. Butthe headache this morning was apparently terrible because she stayed in bed all morning and nagged and complained about it (she almost never complains). I called the doctor and he asked us to tie a damp towel around her head. After a while, the headaches magically vanished.
Mothers please what is the cause and what is expected of us? Is there anything we're meant to do. Someone said it may be a lack of magnesium. But she takes pregnacare and I thought pregnacare contains the right amount of magnesium supplement for a pregnant woman. Please mothers.
God bless you all and may God deliver all those who are due. (NB. I have been a silent member of this group for years).

please take her to a very good hospital o..although it can be nothing ...but is better to be safe ...there is something called preeclamsia that occurs during the second semester for some pregnant woman. The symptoms are severe headache, high blood pressure and protein in the urine..if its not treated..the baby in the womb can end up dead..as it wouldn't be nourished from the mothers placenta..the mom can end up dead too... I will advice you to by a blood pressure monitor ..its about 8000 upward... Just to be sure . I had preeclamsia with my first child.. I started having severe headaches from second semester... Followed by hbp and proteins in d urine....they had to do an emergency c section for me at seven months ..even when I felt normal...thankfully there was no complications with the child ...he was just so small.

Hello Mama's I'm 37 weeks gone but I noticed I have a thin line like razor blades marks on my belly when I woke up,

Hubby said it's wall ghecko and we fumigated my mum said it's spiritual attack
I really don't know what to do?
Any advice pls

physical or spiritual.. You just have to pray, there is nothing God cannot do...if you can fast till 12 please do..

Opexzy:
Everything you said would have made sense if u can back it up with evidences

I wonder how some of you will just sit down at home and makeup theories that doesn't add up. The Spanish flu happened when the enmity of ww1 was at its peak, yet no one suspected it to be a bio weapon.

How difficult do you think it is to differentiate a naturally existing virus from a bio-engineered one.

go and watch the 2018 Korean series my secret terrius..episode 10. ..they already name the virus coronavirus..and they talked about how it affects d lungs and d period of 14days before symptoms..d virus was created..d

Pweetiebabe:
Na wa o, na so I carry my bumbum go clinic today got there ard 7am, after doing the normal vitals check, chop better fried rice and chilled water we come dey wait doctors until almost 12pm wen we were ask to go home cos doctors are not coming..The nurses just gave us date for our next appointment(2weeks), just wondering what if there is an emergency or is this not same doctors that want to tackle Covid 19?

same with me at alimosho general hospital..today..I was told they will only attend to critical cases.. Thank God I also registered at private hospital..

eemjay17:
It is been like 8 weeks after 2 missed period coupled with blood test and we are already rejoicing our bundle of joy is on the way, wifey started noticing some traces of blood stain on Monday. We went to hospital yesterday and doctor ask us to do scanning which didn't reveal any heartbeat. We are told to come back in 2 weeks when it would have been like 10 weeks. Wifey wake up early today to cramps and heavy blood flow with some big lumps.
I don't want us to go back to that hospital and Doctors in General Hospital are on strike.
I need advice on how to handle this from the experienced Mamas here. Thanks

I will advice you go to a very good private hospital, you will be told to do another scan to be sure..if there is a feotus and an heartbeat..if there is congrats, she might be placed on bed rest but if there is none.. the doctor will recommend evacuation ..to clear the remaining feotus..and your wife will be given some drugs..she will bleed for like few days ..and dats it....I sincerely hope there will be good news all the best..

Limahgirl:
Please Sabi mamas, is it normal for breast to be leaking water? Hubby said he noticed a taste when he was doing mouth job on the nipple and later on I also discovered water coming out of the breast, not breast milk o something like clear liquid. Please is this normal? Also I have had sensitive nipple since first trimester and it has continued up to third trimester, is it normal? Thanks for not ignoring.

Cc Cappo 4real woman and other sabi mamas, make una chook mouth. Thank you.

its breastmilk ..if hubby is sucking it...water or breast milk will definitely come out..also experience same and I told him to stop doing DAT for now..and the leaking stopped..

My pre-eclampsia story.
I will tell from the man's point of view. We got preg in sept, baby dancing (bd) after her birthday. Shortly after she felt sick, went to the hospital, and got treated for malaria, we didn't know she was preg at the time. Shortly after she informed me she didn't see her period. I asked her to go do a test which came out +ve. @ the time we were not married. So immediately started wedding preparations, 1st trimester went quickly without any morning sickness just always feeling sleepy, well unlucky for me I wasn't around to experience that period. Now wedding over in december fast forward to january 3 we started antenatal and the normal drugs were prescribed and given ( at the time I wasn't too involved, didn't think I was needed) guys pls be very involved, know the facts about your case. Then she started work it was tough at first but she managed and she was happy when the strike started so she could get some rest. Strike got called off then the nightmare started.

@afdman I just read your story, I'm very sorry for your loss. I also had preclamsia in 2017, I did an EMERGENCY cs at epe general hospital my pregnancy was 29 weeks..the baby survived and was kept in an incubator for ten days before we were discharged.... This is 2020 ,I sincerly hope there is good news concerning your wife ..I would like to hear from you.

nahzyla:

Hello house, please if you leave around ipaja, can you help me suggest a good hospital to start antenatal? I am 17 weeks gone and we just moved here. The place I registered at, something doesn't seem right.. They don't even do regular scans for even pple with high risk pregnancies.. I am carrying twins 1 viable and one not viable.. Sad! This is reality though. I have to go to labs to check by my self the viable one every two weeks and the non viable if it has absorbed like they said it would. I think I need a good / better clinic. Help with suggestions please

please go to general hospital(alimosho general hospital or any other close one. Do not go to private hospital) unless u are sure of their services. General hospital is expensive and its kind of stressful but they are the best, they don't take risk at all.

nahzyla:
Hello mums,
I have a question to ask sorry if I sound a bit ignorant by asking but I wanted to know

Why are many moms against CS so much to the point of endangering their lives?
I have a friend who lost a previous pregnancy to BP issues then she took in again and also had BP issues again. When her due date was close her doctor scheduled her for CS because of her BP but she didn't go, she stayed home until labour started and became so severe before going to the hospital just because he wanted to give birth through vagina. That act of hers was life threatening because it's possible to have seizures from BP while in labour but she didn't care.
Another woman I live in the same area with, she lost her life from bleeding after pushing a very big baby through her tiny pelvis. This woman was also scheduled for CS but she and her husband agreed she will not do it but will give birth at home through vagina.
Another one of my sister in laws also suffered severe cervix tears and had to be stitched from anus to vagina because of pushing out a very big baby of almost 5kg. The woman was scheduled for CS but she refused to go and decided to give birth naturally instead so she stayed home till labour started that's how she ended up having very bad tears when giving birth. The woman lost so much blood during delivery and was in hospital for a long time because of the trauma her system went through

Please I just want to know why women are so against CS. Personally I don't think its that bad or maybe its my ignorance, a part from longer recovery period or cost why exactly do so many people hate it?

its ignorance, if my moms is praying for me..she would always say that "woni fi obe gbebi e" meaning that I would not use CS for delivery...until I explained to her to its God that gives doctors the wisdom of CS....its not until you deliver tru vaginal before claiming Hebrew woman delivery...the best is mom and child are perfectly fine...May God help us

angeltolly:
Eyin teamies bawo ni oo seewa? Hope you all are fine? Glory to God for his love towards us. How's LO and waddling?

BS! BS! BS!

After the death of my son, I wanted to just get pregnant immediately to fill the void I felt. Lolz, but pregnancy was far from me, lolzz. I asked my baby why he couldn't get me pregnant now that I wanted to really get pregnant, lolzz. It wasn't funny, I was wonderfully depressed that I decided to tone my skin for the first time in my life and I ended up being bleached (I asked myself why I couldn't get anything right even skin toning, lolzzz). My baby said there was no need switching on any of our bulbs when darkness comes cos my legs could light up our home perfectly. It was that bad, lolzz. I prayed and prayed, every one told me to relax but relaxation was far from me, lolzz. I kept on thinking "what if I'm only destined to have two children? ". Bee joined me in praying to get pregnant and finally I got pregnant that month. 3 days after I missed my period, Bee told me that there was a baby in my stomach, she is a girl and her name is XYZ. OK, I did home pt, it was positive, I was sooo happy. I got my prenatal drugs and life went on. I calculated my EDD using Flo App and I was told I was to give birth on Jan 21st, same day I lost my son, I said God forbid, I won't give birth in Jan even. Well, forward we go. I had no tiredness, no nothing, just normal. Around week 9, I started craving nkwobi soo bad I was seeing myself almost eating it in my dream. Ahhh, mogbe, I sha held myself tight, one day I couldn't hold myself again and I bought from a woman close to my home that doesn't use akanwu. I ate my thing and took a very chilled can of malt, this is life mehn. I saw myself going back to the woman's shop until I was 16weeks and 2days old by my calculation. I got back home from work, I needed to get vitamin C for us cos we had exhausted the one we had, that was in August last year. I was walking down to where I was to get it when I started feeling pains all over my body, I couldn't bear it, my whole waist/pelvic area was on fire. I called my baby to complain and he said I should go home and rest that he would get the vit while coming back. I got home, took my bath and just went straight to bed. By morning I was still feeling the pain, my baby took me straight to the hospital. After describing my ordeal to my Dr, he told me that he was suspecting something but I should go for scan for him to confirm. My sisters, naso I run dey go scan oo. I laid down and the sonographer started. Mrs. O, when did you miss your period? He asked. I told him. Hmm, I know you are exposed he said, so I believe you should know when you saw your menstrual flow last. Yes, I do. Well going by your words and what I'm seeing, you don't know when you missed your period. Haba, Mr, if you want to insult me start with shut up so I will know what you are up to. We drag am ooo. You are currently 12weeks and 2days. OK, when is my EDD? He says Feb. Feb what? And he says 14th. I was already rejoicing that I didn't have that 21st Jan in my record when I remembered what Feb 14th was and what Bee said was inside my "stomach", say wha??
Another prayer point started ooo, lolzzz. Well, nwunye O, you are contracting and your cervix is already short 3mm, you go straight up to the Dr's office, we will send the result to Dr. C. Hmm. OK ooo. I went up and Dr told me I was to be placed on bed rest until morning that they needed to perform cerclage for me cos my cervix might not be able to hold my foetus when she starts to add weight and cerclage is best performed in the morning and also they needed to stop the contractions. Ohh God, not again. OK oo, how much is the procedure? My eyeballs came out and entered back inside at his answer. O churchi. My baby said oya to do whatever needed to be done. Ngwanu, where is my bed fa, make I start sleep. By 5:30am next morning, I was wheeled into the theater and a general anesthesia was administered and off I went to ulala land. Next day I was discharged and I stayed off work for 2weeks amidst cramps after which life continued. No other challenge, no sickness, no nothing. My Dr at a point said if every pregnant woman has the clean health bill that I had that he would run out of business. Kai, this my story don too long ooo and I haven't even started.
OK moving on. Around week 27, I went to pick my son from school and on our way back we met a mad woman, lolzz. She asked me to come, I ran away ooo with my bigi belle and my son, lolzz. An elderly woman told me to go and answer her, I said haa, answer who. Well, I picked up courage and I went back, she told me that she was calling me and I didn't wanto answer her that didn't I know that she loved me. Then she asked me to show her my palms, I did, she started writing all sorts on my palm. O God who I offend? Passerby were just staring at us, kai. After writing she told me not to erase it until I get home, OK ma. Then she said none of your children will die again, anybody that wants to kill my child will have to pass through her first. I told her Amin! I was about going when she told me "don't let anyone know when labour starts". I said OK ma and I left. Life still continued. I went to drop my son at school about one month later and I met same woman, she asked me to give her a pen, see me rushing to drop my son and go off to work. No, she didnt know me and she isn't my family member. Well, I searched my bag, saw a pen and gave her. She still told me that she has told me that none of my children will die again and also I shouldn't tell anyone when labour starts, I told her OK ma.

Meanwhile my prayer point right from day 1 has always been "I labour not for long, I give birth with ease and before the world will know, I have gone in and come out".

I was going for scans regularly to be sure all was well inside and Lo refused to show herself. I was also going for my prenatal visits regularly. The only challenge I had was leg swelling which I believe was as a result of my daily intake of pregnacare, the moment I stopped taking it regularly, leg swelling disappeared.

20th Jan, I went for my normal visit with my Dr and he told me that I should prepare to have the cerclage removed by 27th, I asked him how soon I would fall into labour after the procedure and he said some people even give birth on that same day. God forbid I said, not me. On 27th I got to the hospital by 6am, was taken to the theatre and prepared, general anesthesia was administered and the cerclage was removed. I was taken to a room to just rest and get myself back after which my baby took me home. I was feeling contraction signs and for my mind I think say e don dey happen, for where. That same night I started my 2hours long walk. I was having on and off contractions. Hmm, everyday after I come back from walk, I will prepare Bee for bed, wait for my baby to come back and we will start our walk. The days he decides that he is tired (ole), I goon my own while he follows me around with the car, lolzzz. Everybody along that route got to know me and they were all giving me advises to stop the walks as it was too early, lolzzz. My stomach was high, didn't point down (I hope I haven't confused you), so people didn't know I was close to term.

I took dates, pineapple core, sobo, danceddd and yet nothing. It wasn't funny. I stopped kpekus-ing since (package wey this baby carry come) so that was a no go area. I had my Dr number on redial almost every hour, the man tire for me. I chatted mommy Zaynie up, asked her what to do so labour could start, she said to just continue with what I was doing. O God, it was becoming depressing. At a point I got tired of the long walk but mehn, I had a target. I couldn't stop.

On 10th of Feb, I went for my visit and after checking me, my Dr said baby was in oblique position. Hian, I did scan before the cerclage removal and baby was in cephalic position so which one come oblique now? He asked me to sleep only on my left hand side to encourage my foetus to move and engage so that labour could start. My sisters I say I sleep only on my left hand side, I didn't turn. Heee Chineke, it was funny. I took all the pillows in my home for myself.

On 14th Feb which was my EDD, I went to work, came back, no show even though I prayed not to have my baby that day I was depressed cos I was tired of pushing my truck and I read that it's harder to achieve a VBAC after passing one's EDD. That night I just said let me use torch and mirror and look down there to see how area dey naso I see blood. Haa, my baby shaved me the previous night, did he injure me without my knowing I asked myself. I stood up and drops of liquid mixed with blood follow me. OK ooo, I wore a panty liner, dressed up and went out for my walk. My baby called to know if I had left the house I told him to wait for me at a particular junction. I got there, saw him and we went off, I didn't tell him what I saw come out of my jajaina. We got home, bathed, prayed ate our Valentine take out and we slept.

15th Feb being Sat, I made sobo, took money and popsy's portion to their home, mommy say me and said "Oberem, I don't like the shape of this your stomach. You should follow me to trado people let them turn this baby, it is not positioned properly", I rejected it there and then.I dropped what I brought for them and went to greet other people at home. On my way back the devil wanted to make me think of what she said cos truly it was now like my baby was hanging on top, like she was lying across cos. On my way home I started feeling mild off and on contractions, I didn't take it seriously cos it was even milder than Braxton Hicks. I made soup and stew, cleaned up my home. By evening, the contractions intensified but it wasn't still serious. I dressed up for my nightly waka, as I got to my junction, the thing hook me, I say ahh, e be like say na the real thing ooo, I was still leaking fluid and tiny drops of blood. People already know that I go out and stay long so going back home then was going to alert them, I entered a supermarket owned by a friend of mine, I told her to give me bucket, I sha bought plenty beautiful nonsense that I didn't need just to make upto 1k, I did transfer for her and I carried myself back amidst contractions. Once e hook me I will look for something to just busy myself, the moment it stops I walk as fast as I could People were asking me why I was coming back so early, I told them I needed to go drop this bucket cos I couldn't walk with it all the way. That was by past 8pm, I usually come back by past 10pm.

I got home, timed the contraction, it was 5mins apart and lasting about 1min 15seconds, I called my Dr and I told him, he asked me to come in, I told him that I didn't want to stay long in the hospital, the man told me Ineeded to come so as to be monitored, VBAC and all. I called my baby and he said he was just on the other street coming in, kai, oya now, dey come. I rushed and took my bath, wore my nightie. He came in, saw I had taken my bath and he started ranting, Oga, this one wey you dey talk nobi wetin dey do me oo. I told him I needed to eat chicken Suya from one of our customers that stays at a far distance from where we live. Haaa, Nne, I can't go to that place by now na, night don reach na. Naso I start cry ooo, your wife is pregnant, do you know what craving is? Have you craved for something before? Nne, it's possible that by the time I get there, those people go don close oo, e, close kini? I want to eat chicken Suya, naso I start sing am, the contractions sef help to modulate my tone. Lolzzzz. OK, OK, OK, I'm going. Immediately he left I ran to my son's room. Already I had packed my hospital bag and kept in plain sight, then I packed just a sleepsuit, bodysuit, mitten, disposable pant, flannel and cap which I hid in my son's wardrobe. I went in there took it and flew out. I was running like there was fire on my bombom and resting amidst contractions. I stopped a cab, jumped in and told him to take me to the hospital. The nurses on duty already knew I was coming so it was my charts and all were ready for the Dr. Oya now, Mrs. O let's go in and check you. Na there wahala dey. This babe here doesn't like foreign things entering her jajaina. Mrs. O spread ya legs now let's check you. I was busy shaking. Dr called and asked how many cm I was and she told him that I haven't allowed her check me yet. Dr told her that naso she dey ooo. Finally she inserted her hand and told me she needed to burst my amniotic sac cos it was blocking her abi wetin, she burst am, said my baby already pooped in my stomach and she brought out her hand and showed me, haaa. She then called Dr and told him she had burst the sad and that I was 5cm gone. I was told to start moving around, for where. When the next contraction started, na then I know say labour don start. OMG, I was throwing my legs up and down without caring, my cloth was bunched up to my waist, I didn't care. My Dr said lekwanu ihe Mr. E kwuru ugwu ya oo (see what Mr. E paid for ooo). Meanwhile my husband was back, didn't find me and was calling. I told my Dr not to tell anyone that I was in the hospital while I kept on praying to give birth sharp sharp. They kept on encouraging me not to push c so I was breathing like a dog once contractions start and that really helped. Dr checked by himself after plenty "spread ya legs Mrs. O", and said in the next 30min to 1hour I should be ready to push. Say wha All this pain I'm feeling and you are telling me 30mins? At the next contraction I told my Dr that I needed to poop, Mrs. O don't push, I told him that it was my baby that was pushing me. He checked and I was fully dilated, oxytocin was administered and immediately I felt the need to push, I pushed and I felt my baby's head come out. Dr said they needed to guide her shoulders out so that kini ko kini ko. He asked me to open leg but you know my ish with spreading legs for foreign beings. He called his nurses to come help him hold my leg, they were still trying to do that when we all heard kpom, my fair rainbow 3.5kg princess jumped put on her own without me pushing at exactly 11:49pm looking like her papa. Dr shouted blood of Jesus and caught her. She sprayed everybody both water and blood at her entrance. I was given general anesthesia and the little tear she gave me was stitched while my Dr checked to be sure I didn't have any injury from previous CS. Everything was in order and I was wheeled to my room. I got to the hospital by 10:18pm and gave birth by 11:49pm. My Dr called my baby and popsy to tell them that I had delivered and my baby couldn't believe it. Lolzzz, they all came to the hospital that night to see me. My baby is angry that I denied him the joy if watching his Ada Ezi make her entrance but he just has to chill. No, I don't think you or your family members will harm me but if I had told him, he would have told momsy and money would have called all her pastors to pray for me and walls have ears. I was willing to take that chance. On my way to the hospital that night, I talked to my own mom on the phone and I didn't tell her I was in labour, so you see? I have already been displaced. My picture is no longer his wallpaper, his Ada Ezi has that honour now but no qualms. Bee saw his sister and said "you are soo cute". I give God all the glory cos He truly showed me His faithfulness from start to finish. I thank you mamas for making my stay worthwhile. May we all deliver safely at our own time. Amen. Please, stay away from nkwobi while pregnant, it's not good for you. Peace.

Congrats mama, I enjoyed everybit of your story ...thank God for giving you wisdom ..

Ineedtoheal:
Funny enough I am not close to ugly. I am beautiful and light skinned.I can't post my picture here lol. My skin colour alone attracts people to me. My supervisors where I did my IT still calls me till date. both married and single. A lot of guys don't talk to me again coz I have cancelled numerous appointments with them. I look younger than my age even. I am independent and come from a good background. Not like I can't get another man but then I don't have feelings for them.

madam you need serious prayers...use your brain to think and not your heart, I was once in a wrong relationship and I love this guy so much with all my heart, but I knew he doesn't love me because he has numerous girlfriends, he is rich and goodlooking. I saw all the red flags and I talked to myself seriously, I was young around 19--20 years old in 200 level. I prayed to God to give me the grace to cut off this relationship and he should bring my hubby to me. The next day I broke up with him...he acted like he was hurt for few days. I blocked him on all angles. Few weeks later my husband came...I didn't like him because he was not too handsome, he's appearance his not encouraging, he was not rich but he was in final year in the same university. I asked God to give me a sign if this guy was my hubby...God gave me..we started the relationship even though I didn't like him..but this guy loved me like crazy, he treated me like a queen, taught me, shares his plan and ideas. He has financial difficulties I supported him...in his final year..I grew to love him...7 years later the story has changed...we are married with two kids we both are working,He still loved me like crazy till date... Although he is not perfect but he is better than some men, doesn't womanise ànd Godfearing. So my dear..my best advise for you is to start a new relationship and forget this guy. I beg you..receive sense

Let me type my BS as I kukuma dey vigil
I came online to rant about baby not coming on the 17th of February or so, which was my Edd, I was just so tired of the load, doctor said my baby is 4kg because of what he was measuring, I was scared, he told me to do another scan, I did and was told 3.7kg. Hmmm
In the morning on the 18th, I started having mild contractions, I prepared to go to the hospital without my bag, but on my way, I noticed that the contractions were not regular, so I diverted my waka go hubby office, I was with him till he closed for the day, with the contractions coming and going.
By 11pm that same day, contractions were more regular and more painful, I started checking the timing, it was 5 mins apart, I chechek Google to know when to go to the hospital, Google said when it's 3 mins apart, by 4a.m, it was 3 mins and I couldn't stand again.
I waited till 5am and we called a cab to take us to the hospital. Immediately we got there, I was taken to the labor room and a giant nurse with fat hands came to tell me that she wanted to check me. What?? With this hand, I've read about this checking here on nl and I was already scared of it, only for fat hands to come and tell me "lie on your back let me check you". I told her no need, I will know by myself when to push.
Fortunately for me, a slim and more elderly nurse came and told me she will check me, I quickly said, yes ma. She checked and said that I was 6cm... I asked if I could stand because I just couldn't lay down, she said it's okay to stand, so I stood by the bed, dealing with the pain. By 8am, I was fully dilated but baby's head wasn't down, so I was given oxytocin, Omo, I visited heaven and returned, by this time I was told to lie down, I was begging the nurses to allow me to stand, they said I should stand if I want my baby to drop on the bare floor. Screaming started, hubby was just outside the window, hearing my shouts, Chai! So embarrassing. Around 9 45am, I was told to push with the next contraction, I did and my baby's head came out, then the contractions stopped. One nurse was shouting Jesus! Jesus! The elderly nurse told her to shut up and stop scaring me. She told me that I'll have to push the rest of the body by myself, I was already so tired, but I told myself to be strong for my baby, that's how I use the last strength to push my 3 3kg longinus out. He just tall full everywhere, that was why they were seeing 4kg.
Na so my prince made his grand entry with style on the 19th of February, giving me massive jagged tears, the stitching na story for another day.

Let me rant small,.
He look so much like his father and I feel cheated, I was the one that felt all the pain, this boy go dey resemble another person. Seriously??
Thanks to all mothers here, I learnt a lot from this thread. Cappo Beyedew, I don submit BS o.
#running off to new born baby thread.....

congrats mama,...d fat nurse hand got me laughing.. Lol...

Labour has set in, I need your prayers. My trust is in You oh! Lord
