Timitoyo:
BS BS BS ( Part 3)

At Week 10, scan showed one of the twins has stopped growing at Week 7. Since then my heart always pound anytime I go for scan. As a result of this , I kept the pregnancy news to myself. None of my family members knew including my mum who stayed with me I only told them after I was admitted for 9 days to monitor my blood sugar so there was no way I couldn't tell them why I was in the hospital because they were scared . 10 days after I told my mum, she passed on.

The pregnancy was pretty easy, no nausea, no vomiting, no food nor smell adversion . The only thing was the bitter taste on my mouth .

From day 1, my consultant has stated I will deliver via CS due to age, so on Week 37 and 6 days I headed to the hospital but the teaching hospital was on strike so had to use a private hospital. The CS was pretty fast, within 5 mins I heard the cry of my baby , only the stitching took time .I was 45yrs, 3 month and 14 days old.

I was discharged 2 days later immediately it was certified my daughter didn't have jaundice.

Yesterday was her naming ceremony, indeed it was worth it and God is God .

Oh God. Tears coming out from my eyes😔😔😔. Im so happy all ended in praise for you. You went through a lot

MY BIRTH STORY

I honestly do not know where to start but I hope I'll be able to make some sense at the end of this story tho.

I figured out I was pregnant in October when we travelled for a function in Lagos. And as a result of the challenges my husband and I were facing we agreed we wouldn't keep it. We had concluded we weren't ready for a second child and so.. I visited our doctor there for an abortion. It was successful (IMO) and when we returned to Abuja we carried on with our lives.

Fast forward to November, I didn't see my monthly visitor (he wasnt even in town so i wasn't sexually active) I went for a scan and I was Pregnant!!!! Okay... I accepted it in good fate.

Then in December my husband and I were having a discussion, he mentioned some of the issues he was currently facing with his car and inability to sell our house in Kuje. He needed money to fix the car so he could work and be able to cater for me and the kids. He wanted me to borrow some money from fairmoney for him and he'd pay back in February when the house is sold. I had concerns, first the money was a lot and the interest rate was high but he wasn't bothered. I proceeded and then wired it to his account.

December 26th, I found out my husband was preparing to go settle down with someone else, A girl he had denied knowing. I was devastated. This was where my depression set in. I was suicidal from the 3rd month of this pregnancy till the 6th month. I somehow got a Job when I was 5 months gone but stopped 2 months later.

I wasn't feeding well, I couldn't concentrate, taking my routine tabs was an issue, Living was hard and all I wanted was Death. I would question God, why me? I would starve the whole day, I fed once a day Sometimes.. Nothing seemed interesting but my son.. He was always looking out for Mummy.

Third trimester, I was getting used to being strong. Everything else was going well till we arrived the month of May. I wanted to give birth at 37 weeks for some reasons. That week came, passed, nothing! So did 38 week to 40 weeks. I was becoming depressed all over again. How do I tell this baby that I had a ton of bills and responsibilities on my shoulders, remaining in my stomach wasn't helping at all.

I resolved to seeking measures to induce labour. I did the little I could,yet nothing happened. Sunday morning, I woke up crying. I was tired, and fed up. My mums caretaker had called to say he was out of Patience and won't be giving any more grace and my mum was already tired of having me and my son. I knew what she was going through and didn't want to keep staying at home and so I went to church with my son. I got back feeling better, 12pm contractions started. And because I was used to them I didn't take it seriously but it persisted till 3pm so I went to the hospital and pleaded with them to check me. They did, and I was 4cm dilated!

I was super excited! Little did I know it was going to be a longgggggggg ride.. I was alone, and in pains 🥺 till 7pm when my sister came then mum came later. Indeed not all pregnancies are same. Long story cut short, I gave birth around 3am after a long fight. It wasn't easy but we give Glory to God.

I've burnt my boots tho.. Safe delivery to every preggy mama! God will see y'all through

So sorry for what you had to go through 😔😔

Timitoyo:

Thank you very much ma @Kunmisola You're rare! Thank you too Ma @MoyosBlog123. Y'all will never lack. And to everyone who has encouraged me one way or the other, May God richly bless you.

I would have had two today but I'm grateful for Ivan.

My birth story would be coming shortly! I'm still feeling some pains.

Finally! Congratulations teemie 😊

Teema4720:
BA! BA!! BA!!!
I don born oh ... To the glory of God, I was delivered of a baby boy early hours of this morning. @irynky. Cappo pls take note. BS coming soon make i rest.

Congratulations teemie 😊

Temtemmie:
Monday evening around past 7pm my hubby wanted to go pick my mum in law and dad in law who were to travel the following day,I started having contractions again while cooking but i kept on cos I felt its the normal false labour thing...
I later noticed that it kept coming at about 7 mins interval but I still wasn't convinced it was true labour as I hadn't seen show like I did for the previous births.
When my mum in love got home(God bless her) she noticed I was having contractions n asked if we should head to the hospital I refused like I did my hubby cos I dey expect show...lol.
She told me that child birth differs that I might not see show until the baby is ready to come..I started singing praises while going back n forth in the room.
I couldn't eat ..I took my bath and told my hubby some mins to 11 to let us go to the hospital as I had the urge to poo
We then headed to the hospital with my mum on love leaving my father in love and the kids who were fast asleep at hoke.
The gates that ought to have been closed were all wide open when we passed and I got to the hospital past 11 ...I was checked n was told all is fine that I was at 5cm except that my baby was hungry so my hubby had to get bread n made tea...I took the tea n a bite of bread...
Omo the contraction just no make me see road at all....I later told the nurses I wanted to poo though I had gone to wee 2ce but they insisted I waited till 1am before I will be checked again but after much plea I was taken to the labour room...
Lo and behold my baby was already coming and was asked to push at the next contraction and my beautiful boy came out crying after 2 hard push because I couldn't stop pushing...lol
He came out with cord round it's neck and body and he almost fell from the Birthing bed...to say am grateful to God is an understatement.
I pray all other pregnant mamas have great testimonies to share in Jesus name amen

Easy peasy delivery 👌

kosi2018:
Continuation.

A day before my delivery, I went for antenatal, I was already 36 weeks 1 day, I haven't done scan to ascertain the baby's position, I asked the doctor, she said next week, 37th week. After antenatal I stayed back at my husband's office, I was given mattress,I had a little cramp that didn't last long, I guess that was when my labour started.

I went home that day, the next day, I woke up went to wee, before I could wee, water came out, I thought it was urine, not knowing my water has broken, I went about my normal duties. Sewing, I pedalled my machine till evening, I was just having little discomfort, sweating than normal and frequent urination, and mild menstral pain, one mind was telling me it was labour, another was telling me its suppose so be painful na.

On my way home, I called my husband to tell my doctor that I want to branch the hospital, that i'm having little cramps, doc. said I should go home and relax, and take paracetamol, that its stress. If it continues after 2hours i should come to the hospital.

At about 9pm i asked my husband we start going to the hospital, though no much pain. When we got there, they did scan, and the radiographer said i'm in labour that my baby's head has engaged already.

I went to labour ward the nurse checked and said 8cm, (that checking was so painful meeen, ) after checking that was when I knew I was in labour.

I got to the hospital at about 10, Gave birth, 11:27, I had multiple tears, after placenta came out I started bleeding, they couldn't handle the situation, at about 1am, I was rushed to ubth, the stitches that was done was lossened and restitched, I was in pain all through, pain killer didn't work, I was given a total of 6blood, mostly freshly donated blood. In all in give God all the Glory. We came out victorious.

Thankgod it ended in praise

Here is just dry.
Team May how far?
Anybody in labour yet?😅😅
Im officially 39 weeks today
I sincerely pray my matter wont end with induction as usual 😪😪

Team may is only remaining 5.

@kosi2018 hope you are feeling better? We are expecting your BS o

Eniwunmi:
BS BS

I had already typed my BS last week and it somehow disappeared 😰

Anyways, so my pregnancy was smooth from the beginning, my morning sickness wasn’t so bad I was basically okay but 3rd trimester came with it’s own stress, the heaviness and I was eating so much around the 8th month😁😁and I also noticed that my feet was swelling and everyone I asked said it was because I was close to my due date. On the 2nd of May, when I woke up, I noticed that my face was very swollen and in my mind I just knew that wasn’t normal, I called the hospital and they asked me to come so they can check it & one of my aunts said it’s normal & that is how she always gets swollen when she’s almost due & I shouldn’t go to the hospital just yet.

As a first time mom, i agreed and thought I was probably overreacting and I just chilled since I had my midwife appointment on the 4th, I decided to wait till the 4th.

On getting to my midwife, she tested my urine & she said I had alot of protein in my urine- protein +++ & she checked my BP which was also extremely high so she told me to go to the hospital immediately, I went home & carried my bag just in case but I felt fine just heavy and very tired. On reaching the hospital, they did a repeat test and took my blood and when the results came back they said I had preeclampsia and that they had to take my baby out that day. They said they were going to try to regulate my blood pressure and if it comes down, they’ll induce me but if it doesn’t they were going to take the baby out via CS.

So, they started pumping me with blood pressure medication, the BP did not come down and so they said I had to make a decision for the CS, I told them I felt okay and begged to come back if they would release me because I wasn’t ready..they refused & said it would be risky for me & my baby as it was already affecting my kidney…I just thank God, my prince was born 5:53pm on Thursday the 4th of May and we are both doing fine,taking it one day at a time. (This BS is for me and segxi-that’s hubbys account & the correct DOB is 4th of May.

Wishing every other May mamas safe delivery❤️

Thankgod it ended in praise. Pre-eclampsia is nothing to joke with. Quick recovery to you

UmuMuhsinah:

No oooo, me am home already

Oook. My Allah make it easy for us all

[quote author=UmuMuhsinah post=123168757]Hi mothers!
Pls does anyone know if all these femmeniel/intimate wash has any negative effect on delivery.
I guess this babay want to come earlier against her brother and sister that came late after due date passed. I went to hospital today and I was told we're termed already and have been having small small stomach ache these days. Baby weight 3.1 already and our edd is June 28 (though, already termed).
I pray it ends in peace for all


Do they want to induce you? I mean you already been admitted?

May mama biko drop BS oo

yumyogo:
Good morning mums!

I just checked my BP at the hospital, does the ratio 95/71 mean my BP is low?

Its normal.

Im fed up😪😪. My doctor said he can never induce before due date unless emergency not even because of baby weight. Im 38 weeks and im honestly done. I wish my body can go into labour for the first time😪😪. My two kids were inductions.

Lewalemanto:
Good day Mamas
I take cold water a lot because of the hot weather. I was advised to stop so that when I give birth my baby won't experience cough and cattarh.

Is it true or mere superstition?

Mere superstition. I take iced water in all my three pregnancies from day one till labour. I cant take water thats not near block. It has no effect on baby. Once you take cold water, it adapt to body temperature in the digestive system

Goldenheart002:


Cappo and other team members, I gave birth yesterday oh. It was an emergency CS so I'm still trying to get my self together and be stronger. I will be back with the BS as soon as I can. Safe delivery to remaining mamas

Sorry sis, just 3ndure it... My BP then was 160/90 & I have a history of constant sharp pain on my chest so I was really worried.

Good evening mamas, We're 38 weeks gone and I find it difficult walking sometimes. I feel some kinda pain at my Pelvic area, It can be very unbearable when it starts to hurt.

Should I be worried 😟

Nothing to be worried about teemie. Enjoy 😉 its almost over

iamfertile:


Baby was already depressed besides I had high BP which I've been managing since week 23

My own bp too has started small😢 Now 130/73 . My legs and feet are,sooo swollen and little painfull

iamfertile:



Wow, this CS is something oo. My fear y I rejected it in the first place but thank God it ended in praise. Thanks mama

From your BS, you were already 8cm and you requested for CS. I wanted to ask y oo. Cos you said doctor told you to hold on a little longer 🤔. Though me too at that point i used to shout for CS but normally the doctor and nurses know its because of the pain. Was there any complications which made you chose it ? Maybe i missed it. Sorry for taking you back
