I heard dancing helps. I have not tried any method though.
It will end in praise. Worry less pls.

So true o.Dancing worked for me.It wil end in praise

Birth story!!!.Sorry itz coming late.I was given August 4th and 5th as my due dates respectively. As frm mid July, I was having some menstrual cramps feeling but i'l relax since I had nt lost my mucus plug.Fast forward to my 38th week,I really got tired of being pregnant,I started eating pineapple anyhow, yet nothing.I couldn't kpekus because I'm nt wt Oga.I came over to my parents' place to gv birth.I started dancing too.But on the 27th,I danced like no man's business twerked,bent waist,jump,twist. Yet nothing to the extent I was aching all over the next day.But that didn't discourage me.On the 28th,I learnt my parents were going to the farm nd I knew d road was very bumpy so I grabbed the opportunity nd joined them.On our way d pot holes were something else,nd I got tired of d journey sef.I still pounded yam that evening all to hasten labour o After rocking the pounded yam,I started feeling one kind heat o,I quickly finished it and dashed to the bathroom for a cold bath.After that, the heat stopped and I felt like pooing,I did but the urge to poo didn't stop immediately, I kept on visiting the toilet o.I managed to SLP.At about 11 I felt this sharp pain.More painful than the cramps i'v been having. I noticed it was coming frequently like every 20 minutes nd it was painful, nd strength exhausting. I told my mum nd she said we should c hw it goes till !morning.I could not sleep again,I was just waiting for dawn to come so the pain could leave me alone.When it was dawn mumsi asked if I had lost d mucus plug,I said no.She said i should wait till I lose it so that the doctors will not b using me to do practicals.I didn't lose the mucus plug till evening at around 6.30.On seeing it,I told my mum,nd she dressed up nd drove me to the hospital.On getting to the hospital,d doctors were asking me if I was sure I was in labour,I said yes.The doctors said they were expecting me to b screaming. They gave me a bed and examined me around 7.30 nd said I was 3cm dilated.That was so painful,i screamed out my lungs.They said they wil come back to examine me around 12.I was scared of it o.Between DAT time nd 12.00,the pains became stronger,this time around no breathing space nd I felt like pooing nd throwing up.The nurse brought me a dish to throw up in and told me it wasn't poo that it was my baby's head that was pressing my rectum. I was trying not to push.It got to 12 a.m nd the doctor came to examine me nd said i was 6cm dilated. He said he will cm back to examine by 4 a.m.After 5 minutes,I felt the urge to push,I was telling the nurse I can't hold back the poo o,I was just pushing,at a point,I felt something like ballon in between my laps,I called her attention nd she said it was my amniotic sac, she ruptured it and called the doctor this was around 12.15 a.m.The doctor came and examined me nd said they should prepare me for the second stage.I was so surprised that it was going to b DAT soon. I was taken to the second stage room nd given the instructions on how to push, I followed. When I got tired,I toldl the doctor I wanted to rest, he said if he let's me rest,d baby will drink fluid,he made me feel my baby's head about to pop,on feeling and hearing that,I used all my strength left to bring forth my prince charming at about 12.30 a.m.He weighed 3.8k.g.I was given a tear o.When they were suturing the tear,it was another round of pain for me even after given 3 analgesic injections but the pain was stil something else to the extent,I told d doctor to leave it like DAT.But he no gree hear.Lol.At the end of it all,wen I look at my cutie pie,I forget about all the pains and smile.I bless God for his faithfulness. I wish my August teamies and other waddling mamas a smooth and fast delivery on Jesus' name.Birth story submitted. Cc. ToyosiR

dominique:
I think she just gave birth in the before photo, that's why she was a bit busty

Very correct.She was nursing a baby.You can also see d dark line on her tummy due to pregnancy hormones.

Debclem:
I have just lost my mum, how unfair can life be? N orphan at 29wks? She gave up on all the plans we made for postpartum visits, she gave up on me and left me all alone in this cold world. How do I deserve this, how do I survive this? It's all empty now, it's all gone. My world has crumbled on me. Who do I turn to, what do I do. It's a nightmare and I want to wake up.

.So sorry sis.May God strengthen u during this period.

Lets read up this to note the signs of labour.
How can I tell when I'm going to go into labor?

There's no way to predict exactly when labor will start. And even when you notice early signs of labor, your baby's birth could still be days or weeks away.

Your body actually starts preparing for labor as much as a month before you give birth, so you may begin to notice new symptoms as your due date approaches.

Here are some early signs of labor:

Your baby "drops." If this is your first pregnancy, you may feel what's known as "lightening" a few weeks before labor starts, meaning the baby now rests lower in your pelvis. You might feel less pressure just below your ribcage, making it easier to catch your breath.
You have more Braxton Hicks contractions. More frequent and intense Braxton Hicks contractions can signal prelabor, which is when your cervix starts to thin and widen, and sets the stage for true labor. (See below.) Some women experience menstrual-like cramps during this time.
Your cervix starts to change. In the days and weeks before delivery, changes in the connective tissue of your cervix make it soften and eventually thin and widen, or dilate. (If you've given birth before, your cervix is more likely to dilate a centimeter or two before labor starts, but keep in mind that even being 40 weeks pregnant with your first baby and 1 centimeter dilated is no guarantee that labor is imminent.) When you're at or near your due date, your doctor or midwife may do a vaginal exam during your prenatal visit to see whether your cervix has started to change.
You pass your mucus plug or notice "bloody show." If your cervix begins to efface significantly or dilate as you get close to labor, you may pass your mucus plug – the small amount of thickened mucus that has sealed off your cervical canal for the last nine months. The plug may come out in a lump all at one time or as an increased amount of vaginal discharge over the course of several days. The mucus may be tinged with brown, pink, or red blood, which is why it's called "bloody show." (Having sex or a vaginal exam can also disturb your mucus plug and result in some blood-tinged discharge, even when labor isn't necessarily starting any time soon.)

Signs that labor is imminent, if not already under way, include:

Your contractions become increasingly intense. Unlike Braxton-Hicks contractions, labor contractions grow stronger, longer, and more frequent as they cause your cervix to dilate.
Your water breaks. When the fluid-filled amniotic sac surrounding your baby ruptures, fluid leaks from your vagina. And whether it comes out in a large gush or a small trickle, this is a signal that it's time to call your doctor or midwife.



Thanks cappo.Yes o,I really wish to offload this Month o,bags packed already.I' v been trying my best to stick to the doctor's advise.Thanks for checking on us.#Team August for smooth and easy delivery #

Mamas, Hope we are rounding up our shopping!!!.
To our working mama, lets start planning our maternity leave and handing over in our place of work.
Moreso, let us not deny our DH of their right ooo because of heaviness. Try different methods and stick to the one that works.....

.Thanks cappo.Yes,after doing the OGTT test,the result was fair.The doctor asked me to eat more of proteins and vegetables. As for waddling,it's nt a small thing o.The baby's weight is telling on my walking steps.As for giving Oga his right,it's out of the picture for now o,my vjay aches,I dnt know why.Lastly, I've been having this crampy feeling like pre menstrual cramps on my lower abdomen since Tuesday.I don't understand. Countdown to August biko.The lord is our strength.

dasugar:
helloo wonderful belleful mamas. hope am welcome to join u guys. being following as a guest for a while decided to join u guys. my edd is on august.

.Welcome teamie.U will enjoy ur stay here.

DNA07:
Good evening beautiful mums, i'm a newbie here, been following this thread for some days now. Kuddos to the initiator! I have really been learning a lot.
I'm a ftm, 10wks 3days gone.
EDD according to LMP 13th December
EDD according to scan 12th December
#TeamDecember
No MS at all, the only way i know i'm preggie is absence of flow...God really is too be praised being the first time.
#SupernaturalDelivery #ItShallAllEndInPraise

Congrats ma and welcome to the thread.My birthday is Dec 13,so pls give me a birthday mate o by God's Grace. I wish you a stress free pregnancy and smooth delivery.

tiwatopebam:
Mama, may God be with you, mine tested + a month ago when I was 28 weeks, doctor said I should stop sugar, I didn't only stop sugar oo, I stopped carbohydrates, palm oil, groundnut oil, banana, my daily food were cucumber and avocado pear with water in the morning. Then unripe smoked plantain in the afternoon, oatmeal amala with oilless okro in the night or unripe plantain flour. I went back a week after my glucose level dropped, not only that I dropped 2 kg within one week.

.Wow.U rili tried.But why did you stop palm oil and groundnut oil too?

jaysmama:
Ofada rice is still carbohydrate so I feel that one cooking spoon is still the quantity you should eat. Please the goal is not to starve yourself I was comfortable eating every three hours. If you get hungry eat but eat things won't spike your blood sugar. If you ate like 2 toast with egg in the morning and your feeling hungry in 2 hrs you can eat something like 1 cooking spoon of beans. It's all about balancing

OK mama.Thanks a lot.Will keep u updated after d test result is out.

jaysmama:
If you can avoid it good but i love rice o so i just take one serving spoon add plenty of vegetable salad to my plate with one big chicken.

OK ma.I love rice too?Hubby is thinking of buying local rice(Ofada rice).But I feel it also has sugar.

stephmiracle:
When I was preggy, protein was seen in my urine like 2 times. I even did fasting sugar test and the doctor even said i dont have enough sugar sef but someone adviced me to stop using soap to wash my vjay and start using water only and I stopped and started using plenty water to wash it. By the next month, there was no record of protein again till I gave birth. #hope this helps#

Thank you mama

jaysmama:
Yes wheat meal is okay for managing blood sugar and the best milk is low fat milk. Dano slim or marvel is okay.

.Thanks ma.Pls I forgot to ask.Should I abstain from rice or is there a limit to eating it?

[quote author=jaysmama post=56329886][/quote].Thanks a lot ma.I will observe the rules from now on.Pls ma,can I replace the oatmeal with wheat meal and for the milk,can I take any type of milk, or is there a specific one I should take?

Naomi14:
Don't worry the doctor might send you for an OGTT test to monitor your glucose level for 2hours. Just be ready for needles and peeing in cup for every 30mins.

Yes o,he did.But he said I should come for it next week Thursday. Me that is scared of needles o,Jesus,take the wheel o.

zaynie:
It depends on the number of + behind it. High glucose is indicative but not conclusively of gestational diabetes. You might want to ease off carbonated drinks and high carbs. But talk to your doctor and let him guide you.

. Thanks mama.

Goodmorning mamas.I'm presently at the clinic for my antenatal.They just tested urine nd it came out it has glucose.This is the 3rd time it's coming out this way.I'l see the doctor soon though,but i just want to share it here and know if anyone has experienced it too and how did you go about it afterwards The thing is just making me nervous.

ToyosiR:
Hello mamas

We congratulate all our sharp sharp May mama, giving us back2back delivery. We pray thus

Baarakallaahu laka fil-mawhoobi laka, wa shakartal-waahiba , wa balagha 'ashuddahu, wa ruziqta birrahu.

May God bless you with His gift to you , and may you (the new parent) give thanks, may the child reach the maturity of years , and may you be granted its righteousness .

To the pushing mamas, we pray the remainining period will be stressfree.

#TeamAugust, How are we copping with the growing belle? A few of us most have entered 3rd trimester while the others are approaching it.
So let's make good use of this time to do most, if not all of our shopping. I pray God will make provision financially and physically.He will continue to make the journey easy for us.

I believe our ANC Classes are interactive. I hope we are enjoying meeting with other belleful mamas over there. By now, many of us most have taken our 2nd TT (and 2nd IPV). Please, let us create a reminder for the 3rd TT (6 months after 2nd TT) because most of us will be busy with our baby by then and its possible we will not remember (As most mama doesn't go for it). I pray God will continue to strengthen us and help us all to carry to term with easy delivery.

How are we feeling about our lo jumping up and down, building mansion in our womb? How are we copying with our showing bumps? Most of us will find it difficult to do most of our daily routine that requires bending.Lets take it easy and seek for help where needed. May we not labour in vain. We shall reap the good fruit of our labour.

May roll call for #TeamAugust.
