Happy to hear that you're getting better. I'm going to 26 weeks now but anytime I feel the pain is coming, I take paracetamol with enough water then rest as much as my body could take. The Lord is our strength in Jesus name.

Keyword: Rest well mama

Goldengold2:

[quote author=goldengold2post=100916329]mine is a private hospital too but am just on paracetamol this night i cried my eyes out in pains, the pain is out of this world. that's why I asked for your hospital name

Goldengold2:
I went to a private hospital(stay alive) cos I was not attended to well at the general hospital. I feel you should also try a private hospital cos paracetamol isn't going to work for that pain. So sorry ma.

mine is a private hospital too but am just on paracetamol this not i cried my eyes out in pains, the pain is out of this world. that's why I asked for your hospital name

Goldengold2:
So sorry mama, I have dealt with the pain at 18 weeks and still dealing with it though not as tough as the first time. My gynecologist placed me on fortwin injection inside drip for 3days. Try as much as possible to drink lot of water. I can't lie to you paracetamol is nothing when the pain starts. You can as well get a hot water bottle and be placing it on the hurting part. Sorry for the pains, the Lord will make our testimonies evident soon.

pls ma wat hospital did u use am correctly in my hospital and they have been giving me pracetamol since yesterday with normal saline but the pain is so unbearable for me. no relieve yet pls help with ur hospital am in serious unbearable pain

Teetopic:
Sorry for the break in transmission
The pains subsided after the injection and everything went back to normal. At 34 weeks, I saw blood stain and was advised to go to the clinic whichh i did, I was checked and they said all was well but was asked to go for scan which I did the next day. The scan was done and was told everything was alright in there and my Edd was 24th of April.

On the 30th of March while taking my bath, i noticed some liquid came out of my body but assumed it was urine. After bathing, I bent down to wash my down below cos the discharge was too much that morning, I tried to dip my finger into my vagina to at least clean the area. While doing this, I noticed the discharge was sticky like cattarh, I quickly wash up and dried my body and was about to go out of the bathroom when something just told me to look down and there i saw the "show" on the floor. I wrapped it up in tissue and headed straight to the clinic with it(my pant was getting wet and had to use tissue)
I was checked but was told the cervix was still closed, I was told not to bother myself about anything since my all my edd was April ending, one of the scan gave me May 5 sef, they gave me cotton wool and told me to come back by evening if the water continues. I went back home to finish my chores before going out again but went back home early cos my pant was wet.
I waited for my husband to come back in the evening before going to the clinic and was checked again but yet the cervix was still closed, I was asjed if I was feeling any pain which I said no and we were asked to go back home and come back if anything changes.
The water kept on coming all through the night with little irregular pains (while all these was happening, i was begging God not to allow me give birth now cos i was just 36weeks and 6 days gone)
The next morning I called the matron to explain situation of things and she told me to come right away, I went and still nothing yet, my husband called her from work to admit me so I'll be properly monitored but I insisted that I'm alright and went back home. I bought food on my way home, ate and slept off with the pains.
By 2pm, I got up, took bike and went out to get some stuffs, by the time i got back around 3_4pm the pains was back to back all thanks to the aboki bike man(I still didn't believe baby was about to come with all the pains) by 5pm the contraction was 5minutes apart, i called the matron, she said I should start coming by 8pm. I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner with water gushing out at each contraction, I finished up and ate at the middle of each contraction.
My hubby came in past 7pm, I didn't tell him how I was feeling, he took his bath and ate. It was after he finished eating that I told him what was happening and he started shaking like jellyfish, I told him all was well and we headed to the hospital. We got to the hospital some minutes to 9p.m. I was checked and was told that I was 2cm gone but the cervix was thick so I was given drip and then I started vomiting, I vomited at each contraction.
By some minutes to 12a.m. I called them to come check me but they refused saying I still have long way to go and they don't want to be dipping their hands inside me anyhow. By 11:50pm i shouted that I wanted to poop, that was when they now checked and I was quickly rushed to the labour room.
By 12:10a.m. I pushed after I've been cut and my princess popped out, few minutes after, the placenta came out and the stitching began. My baby gave me tear while coming out plus the one given to me by the matron. In all, I return all glory back to God.

I thought I'll be back by 2023 before, but with the look of things and the pains i experienced, I hereby hang my boot till only God knows when.

*Swollen Feet During Pregnancy*

Ah, the joys of pregnancy
While you may be enjoying the magical time that is pregnancy — it truly is miraculous how many restroom trips you can squeeze into one day — and eagerly anticipating the arrival of your sweet little bundle, there are some less than magical side effects that many mothers-to-be experience.

Your body is changing rapidly, which can get a little uncomfortable. One discomfort that many women experience is swollen feet.

*What causes this to happen, anyway* ?
When can you expect your feet to start puffing? Well, the good news is that it’s usually later on.
So you’ll likely recognize your feet for the first half or more of your pregnancy.

*First trimester*
Rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone (literally “pro gestation” or “pro pregnancy”) slow your digestion down.
This can cause abdominal bloating long before you have a noticeable baby bump.
You may notice a bit of puffiness in your hands, feet, or face, but not much.

If you notice a lot of swelling this early on, especially if accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or bleeding, it’s best to call your doctor.

Second trimester
The second trimester begins with week 13 of pregnancy (roughly the start of the fourth month).
It’s not unusual to start noticing swollen feet around the fifth month of pregnancy, especially if you’re on your feet a lot or the weather is hot.

This swelling is due to the increasing volume of blood and fluids in your body.
Your blood volume increases by about 50 percentTrusted Source (!) during the course of your pregnancy, and that’s paired with a lot of hormonal fluid retention.

While it may make your rings and shoes a little snug,
all this extra fluid helps to soften your body and prepare it for giving birth — and that’s exactly what you want. Rest assured, the extra fluid will rapidly decrease in the days and weeks after your baby is born.

Third trimester
Starting with week 28 of pregnancy, the third trimester is by far the most common time to experience swollen feet.
Especially as the weeks go on and you get closer to 40 weeks, your toes are more likely to resemble little sausages than anything else (yes, motherhood is glamorous).

Your body is continuing to build its supply of blood and fluids, which can contribute to swelling.
Your uterus is also getting much heavier as your baby grows, which can slow blood flow from the legs back to the heart. (Don’t worry, this isn’t dangerous — just uncomfortable.)

Other factors that can contribute to ballooning feet include:

hot weather
dietary imbalances
caffeine intake
not drinking enough water
being on your feet for long periods of time

*When to see a doctor*
Swollen feet are a very normal part of pregnancy — many of your fellow moms-to-be can commiserate!
So most of the time, swollen feet are just another sign of all the hard work your body is doing to grow that new little life.

However, swollen feet can sometimes be a sign of a more serious problem.
One of these problems is called preeclampsia. This is a condition that can develop during pregnancy and causes dangerously high blood pressure.

Call your doctor if you notice:

sudden swelling of your hands, feet, face, or around your eyes
swelling that gets dramatically worse
dizziness or blurred vision
a severe headache
confusion
difficulty breathing
If you notice swelling in just one leg that is also accompanied by pain, redness, or heat, this could mean you have a deep vein thrombosis, or DVT.

A DVT is a blood clot, usually in your leg. It’s important to call your doctor if you notice these symptoms,
as pregnant women are more likely to get blood clots than the average person (thanks once again, hormones).

If you’re unsure whether your swelling is normal, or have any concerns, it is always best to call your doctor or midwife.
They’re happy to help keep you and your baby safe and healthy!


*How to get relief*
While swollen feet may or may not be painful, they can certainly be uncomfortable or bothersome.

Fortunately, there are a number of simple ways to ease your symptoms during pregnancy. Even better? They may involve snacks, a cold drink, swimming, massage, and possibly shoe shopping.
Doesn’t sound so bad, right?

*1. Reduce sodium intake*
One way to reduce swelling during pregnancy is to limit your sodium (or salt) intake.
Salt makes your body hold on to extra water.

Try to avoid canned or processed foods, as these are especially high in sodium. Also try not to put extra table salt on your food.

*2. Increase potassium intake*
Not getting enough potassium can also make swelling worse, as potassium helps your body balance the amount of fluids it holds onto.

Your prenatal vitamin should have some extra potassium for you, but it’s also important to eat good sources of dietary potassium.

Some foods that are naturally high in potassium include:

potatoes with the skin on
sweet potatoes (also with the skin)
bananas
spinach
beans, some fruit juices (prune, pomegranate, orange, carrot, and passionfruit in particular)
yogurt
beets
salmon
lentils

*3. Reduce caffeine intake*
While occasional caffeine during pregnancy isn’t harmful, drinking too much caffeine isn’t considered great for baby. It can also make swelling worse.

Caffeine is a diuretic, which causes you to pee more, which then makes your body think it needs to hold on to fluid.

Try a decaf coffee with milk or an herbal tea such as peppermint to help give you a little energy boost instead.

*4. Drink more water*
As strange as it sounds to drink more water to counteract swelling, it actually works. If your body thinks you’re dehydrated, it will hold on to even more fluid to try to compensate.

So try to drink at least 10 glasses of water every day to keep your kidneys flushing out the bad stuff and your body happily hydrated.

If it feels daunting to drink that much water, try getting a cute cup that you’ll want to keep refilling, or a giant water bottle that you’ll only have to refill a couple times a day.
You can also flavor your water with lemon, mint, or berries to make it more enjoyable.

*5. Elevate your feet and rest*
Even though you have a million things you want to get done before the baby arrives, try to sit and put your feet up when possible.

While sitting all the time isn’t great for your circulation, standing all the time is also hard on your beautiful pregnant body.

Sitting with your feet elevated for a little while — especially at the end of the day — can help drain the fluid that’s been pooling in your legs over the course of the day.

*6. Wear loose, comfortable clothing*
Wearing tight clothing, especially around your wrists, waist, and ankles, can make swelling worse. Basically, it keeps blood from circulating as easily.

Try to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes — or at least avoid tight elastic bands. Maternity maxi dresses in the summer and flowy cardigans or sweaters with joggers in the winter can be both cute and comfortable.

*7. Stay cool*
Especially if you’re pregnant during the hot summer months, staying indoors during the heat of the day and avoiding vigorous exercise can help keep you cool and reduce swelling.

You can also wear cool clothing, put cold compresses on your feet, or keep a fan nearby.

*8. Wear waist-high compression stockings*
Yes, these are just about as sexy as they sound. But if you’re experiencing persistently swollen feet, or have to be on your feet most of the time, you can wear waist-high compression stockings.

These stockings gently squeeze your feet and legs to help keep fluid circulating.
Try to avoid the knee-high compression stockings, as they may be too tight in the middle of your leg and actually make swelling worse.

*9. Walk*
Going for even a 5- or 10-minute walk a couple times a day can help improve your circulation, which helps reduce swelling.

This can also be a good break in your day, and it’s a great way to get pregnancy-safe exercise.

*10. Wear comfortable shoes*
While you may look adorable in your high heels, late pregnancy is a good time to give them a break. Wearing comfortable (even orthotic), well-fitting shoes is key to reducing foot swelling, as well as to preventing hip and back problems that can arise as your center of gravity shifts and your weight increases.

In addition to swelling, the ligaments in your body (including your feet) actually do stretch during pregnancy, so your feet may change size.
Some women’s feet return to their pre-pregnancy size, but many women find that their feet are permanently a half-size or so larger.

It may be annoying that one more thing is changing, or that some of your beloved shoes no longer fit, but this is an excellent excuse to go splurge on some new favorites.

*11. Swim*
There are no studies proving that water pressure reduces swelling during pregnancy, but many women do find relief from swelling when they spend time in the pool.

Try standing or swimming in a pool where the water depth is almost up to your neck. At the very least, you will feel lighter, cooler, and get a little exercise.
You may also find that your feet and legs are less swollen.

*12. Get a massage*
Your partner may be looking for ways to be involved during the pregnancy process, and this is the perfect opportunity.

Massage helps circulate the fluids that tend to accumulate in your feet, which will in turn reduce swelling.

So grab your water bottle, put your feet up, and let your partner gently massage your feet and legs.
Adding some peppermint or lavender essential oil can make this even more relaxing.

*13. Sleep on your left side*
Sleeping on your left side when possible can improve blood flow, which reduces swelling of the feet.
Lying on your left side takes the pressure of your uterus off of the inferior vena cava, which is the large blood vessel that returns blood to your heart.

*The takeaway*
Swollen feet are a very common side effect of pregnancy.
Swelling is caused by increased fluid volume in your body, as well as decreased circulation.

If you experience sudden or severe swelling, it’s important to call your doctor, as this may be a sign of something more serious. But a little swelling is definitely normal.

You can help prevent foot swelling by getting regular gentle exercise, drinking plenty of water, resting, and eating a balanced diet.

Before you know it, your shoes will fit again and the only feet you’ll be focusing on will be those tiny baby toes!

Congratulations bc at the end of 9 months you will carry your baby.

Oliran:
Allahumo Aameen, JazakumLlahu khyran ma'am.


Team September never dey show face abi, MS is still dealing with me o. Eating is a very big issue for me, people at my workplace are already speculating sef despite flat tummy, the fact that I don't eat makes me so weak and lean.
I can't wait for this phase to be over, it wasn't this worse during my First, September seems VERY far away.

I want to start my antenatal tomorrow (Igando General Hospital), I'd like to discuss my Rhesus incompatibility with the doctor.

We are 11weeks gone, Alhamdulillah.

To the waddling mamas, May Almighty God make it easy peasy for every one of us.

I have been a silent reader for awhile now ftm though
and I rep 1st September by God special grace although I don't know the gender yet and I have observed some abbreviations like BS pls what those it mean?

Omobola121:
Beautiful Mamas, I greet una well well o, to the founders or coordinators of this thread, may you always have reasons to be happy. To all the sabi Mamas wey advice me to go back to the hospital yesterday, May Joy never depart from your life. I Sincerely appreciate you guys.

As you all advised that I should go back to the hospital yesterday evening, I went back and surprisingly, I was told I'm in labour. Luckily, I carried all the necessary things along. The doctor admitted me and he did VE again (God, it was so painful with that em big fingers) he said I'm 4cm gone and I should be walking around to fasten the labour.

Yesterday evening till around 7am this morning was the longest day I have ever experienced in my life. The pain was so painful, I couldn't lie down nor sit. It was crazy!

At about 7:30am this morning, I was checked again and they saw that the baby head is already showing. I have started pushing already when they noticed that I'm too tight, they tear me and the pain became double sef.

After the tear, I was asked to push, I pushed twice and the baby head came out fully. They asked me to stop and they brought him out fully.

Instead of me to start smiling, I began to cry o as I heard the baby's cry. IT IS A BABY BOY.

To God be the glory, mother, baby and father are all doing fine!

From team March to team February.

For as many that desires this kind of priceless gift,receive the gift in double, tripple, quadruplet in Jesus Name and safe delivery to all the remaining pregnant women.

THANK YOU!

congratulations to you
