Someone should please advice this bundle of joy dancing inside me to come out oo. I'm tired of walking as if someone hit my waist with a hammer.
I gave birth to my first child at 37weeks +5days.
Her two year birthday is today and I prayed for this second one to arrive today too. So they will have same birth date lol. I'm already 39weeks. So yesterday, I trekked for 2 hours, came back home and ate a bunch of � pineapple. I wanted contractions to start last night. But I can now see God has a different plan because after eating it, I felt nothing. Not even a single contraction till now. I felt frustrated at first Sha. But I have resolved to let God do his work his own way. O Lord I commit this pregnancy and that of other expecting mother's here into your hands. Please make the labour room a place of favour for us all. In Jesus name. Amen

My Birth Story.

My Office had earlier mandated all women with pregnancy at advanced stages to work from home.
We are two on my desk, I knew my colleague would be plagued with so much work, so i stepped in monday and briefly on wednesday to assist her. Fortunately, my branch is a trekkable distance from my house, so 2mins drive and I'm there.
On Friday morning, I saw a mail from the Audit unit requesting for scanned copies of different files. I knew that retrieving and scanning files while still attending to normal daily activities wouldnt be easy for my colleague so i decided to pop in again at work on friday. I told my husband to drop me off on his way to work. On our way, I started feeling minor cramps which i thought were Braxton hicks, hubby kept asking if i was ok...I told him not to worry.

So I got to work, called one of the security guards to assist with lifting and retrieving files which were high up on the shelves, i started climbing and going down to retrieve some other files....did this for about 3hours pausing at intervals whenever i felt the cramps. I then went ahead to eat, but I noticed the appetite just wasnt there and the menstrual-like cramps were getting more intense. I still proceeded to scan the documents I'd earlier retrieved but halfway i got tired and handed over to my colleague who was really appreciative as she knew i really didnt have to come. I had on a combination of nosemask and faceshield so noone noticed i was in any pain. 4pm, I called my husband to come pick me but I needed to trek to the bus stop as he had already passed my office and turning back meant driving a long distance. I bought my daily dose of #500mangoes , remembered i needed to buy a new bible for the incoming baby, entered a bookshop to quickly buy one while waiting for my husband. The moment i entered the car, i felt the a cramp so intense there was no doubt it was a contraction. This was already 5pm.
On getting home, hubby fried eggs and plantain which I ate and then slept off. I was woken around 7pm by another contraction. My husband was still asking me if its time to go to the hospital, I said no...that we would go in the morning. I felt this strong urge to poo and went to the restroom to do the do but I noticed something heavier than normal poo was putting pressure on my anus and decided against pooing. i left immediately and thats when another contraction hit me, this one was so painful it made me cry and from then another one at about 5 minutes interval. I quickly dressed up and told my husband to let us go to the hospital while crying. The contractions were at this point coming at a ridiculous interval of 3mins, it didnt make any sense cos I hadnt even had up to 10 contractions in total. Thank God my hospital bag had been in the car for more than a week as i was already way past my due date, hubby and I jumped in and within the 7mins drive to the hospital, i was having contractions back to back and shedding hot tears.

on getting to the hospital, the doc who had been attending to me for my antenatal appointments sighted me at the entrance and asked me to quickly enter a room for him to check me. He inserted his hands to checked and screamed, she's 8cm gone! He told the nurses to prepare the Labor room immediately and set a line. I was in shock! You see, with my first child, I was in Labor for 16hrs and I remember i got to 8cm only in the 15th hour of rigorous pain...same level as the one i was feeling that same night. So, It felt like God deliberately took away 15hrs of pain from me.

Oxytocin was set for me and real drama started, Oh no! I screamed, spoke in tongues, recited Psalm 91 over and over again...grabbed the doc while completely naked and threatened to kill him if he stepped out of the labor room...My Bp shot up to 160/100 along the line so had to be given medication to bring it down. an Hour later, i felt the strongest urge to poo and i told them i was going to push whether they liked it or not. Doctor checked and said i should go ahead, With three strong pushes, My 4.3kg baby boy came out and the placenta easily followed suit.

I had a small vaginal tear and so had to be stitched up, got cleaned up and was moved to another room to rest.
By the next moring, i felt ok especially after eating but was told bp still needed to be monitored and lowered before being discharged.
To the Glory of God, we were discharged monday morning. Baby and I are doing fine but I cant thank God enough for showing me mercy and reducing the labor timeframe.

I'm pregnant again after 4+months of delivery twins.i was shocked! I took morning after pills afterwards..Mother pls what I should do? Plz respond asap am losing my mind

etrange:


Well, you sound like you have your roots in Abuja. I wouldn't expect you to be bored. It's an entirely different story for new comers and visitors. Associating with others is easier when the "others" are out there willing to associate with you. When I was there, everyone seemed to be inside their houses, at work or in small packs minding their businesses with well established family and friends.... just like you.

You are right guy. I spent 7 months in Abuja and I couldn't establish one single friendship. Before someone can ever start a conversation with you is problem.

Experienced Mamas please help me o.

I just had another small quarrel with hubby over my sudden low sex drive.

I am in week 11 and recently, I am too irritated to even allow sex, ' unfortunately' for me, boo still feels like during it almost everyday

On Saturday, we had sex, and I noticed bleeding ( not the first time, but this was very pronounced), pinkish intially and brownish later. I told him I need to start antenatal to be sure that it's ok to continue but he does not want to hear any of it.

This evening, ( I came home early from work was having serious side headache)he initiated it again and with all my body language he knew I was not in the mood. Right now he is angry and I actually feel for him. I have tried to read materials online to him but he obviously feels deprived.

How do I handle this house?.. We are just 6 months into marriage
