Congratulations to all our mamas that have dropped and a big welcome to our newly arrived Princes and princesses.

Team October 2018, Fabmummy, tinutunde, how are you guys fairing. M.S is seriously dealing with me. I'm even spitting already. No two pregnancies are the same.

For mums having persistent issues with breastfeeding latching, please have your babies checked for Tongue Tie. I had the same issue with my DD. It was detected at her 10 weeks immunisation. By then, my breasts had suffered serious bruises.

On a lighter note, these babies dropping bumper to bumper are making it look like October is still far ooo. Please, is October still far? I refuse to count in days.

My own pregnancy story.
So my mum and MIL has been on our case to go for second round but we've been dodging for sometime now. Hubby was to embark on a week white fasting on Jan 8 which meant no show for d whole week na so bro say make him do sendforth kpekus on d night of 7th.
We didn't even bother to check our app for safety.

So after d faster, my mum intensified the pressure. I just told hubby, if u like ride me from now till tomorrow, my ovulation has passed for d month.

I fell sick and tested +ve. Bros had already scored since 7th

Mamas pls help, the areola of my right breast I'd swollen, hard and painful especially when DD sucks. It's even makes latching on very difficult for her cos it's not pliable. Is this what is called engorgement, if yes, pls what can I do about it.
Help a sister, don't jump and pass

Mamas please, I need speedy answers. I'm in tears and currently down with malaria. I can't even hold my baby

My story

I was 41weeks gone last week Monday, Went for ANC last week weds (due to the public hols) , met a doc n was told to come to the hospital this past Monday if I didn't fall into labor by last week sun, according to him the policy is induction or Cs is carried out after 10days post EDD , so I got home told do n MIL, dh was in support so Mil's objection (religious beliefs) was not important.
Fast forward to sun, around 11pm started having contractions, wasn't too sure as I've has 2 false labor, so I started timing n it was abt 4mins apart, I told dh, baby is coming. In fact I was pacing the room till 3:15am wen I told dh to prepare hot water for me to bath, we got to the hospital exactly 5am, baby's hrt beat was checked n was OK , but I wasn't dilating, so I had a hot bath there, was told to go n eat the come bck.
I stepped out for just 2hrs n came bck, na so story change ooooo. Baby's hrt beat couldn't be traced, I said God forbid, went for scan n it was confirmed. My world came crashing dwn, I started crying. I was told to pray instead, I did o, yet nothing g happened.
The labor reduced, so I couldn't push, and the doc said u can't be operated upon, that I have to be induced. Hmmmm, na so I carry dead baby since Monday morning till evening wen I was induced. Tuesday morning, serious contractions but no labor, long and short is the had to augment the contractions ooooo, that was Tuesday afternoon, n was delivered of my hefty looking tall n cute boy by 1:50am on Wednesday morning. Underwent and episiotomy yet couldn't hold my baby. My dh cried like a baby.

I thank God for my life, I surrender all to him. I knw he will give me multiples for my trouble.

Would have luved to rest till next yr b4 trying but dh said for where? Lolsss. Anyways I knw I will come n reg for next yr sha, Cox I knw God will smile on us again.

ABEG MY BREAST ARE ENGORGED. I FEEL THIS PAINFUL LUMPS INSIDE, WAT MEDICATIONS DO I TAKE BIKO? HELP A JJC SABI MAMA'S.

What can I say but I know our Redeemer liveth. We are expecting you back here soonest and by then, your bundles of joy will go home with you.Pele dear.

Thanks mama firsttymum, I already ordered from jumia market but yet to be delivered. The pain is something else and I can't just wait to lay my hands on the cream.
Congratulations to portable4real all my teamies that have offloaded

Thanks mamas Feddy27, Liftedhands and Limsycutey. God bless you

Cc Liftedhands and every other mamas using Lansinoh nipple cream, please where did u buy it. I have searched almost seven pharmacies even Boluke and they don't have.
To say I have sore nipples is an understatement, my nipples are bleeding and it's affecting me psychologically.
The milk is now flowing but the wound and pain is beyond what I can hear.
Pls don't mind my rants, I just want to be able to breastfeed my baby without shedding tears. She will be 3weeks by Friday.
Please help

Thanks mamas sayoddy and Liftedhands

I really appreciate your responses and concern @Enque, Zaynie & Liftedhands
Thanks mums.
@ Ma'am Liftedhands, how do I use moringa seeds, I have them at home. Where can I buy the Lansinoh cream.

Please HELP me. Don't jump and pass oo. Breastfeeding has been a terrible experience for me
1. late milk production: milk came in drops on d third day after we had started on formula
2. Low milk production: I am drunk on pap and tea likewise
3. Sore nipples
And my baby can suck for Africa.
Egbami, what do I do?
I'm depressed

My Delivery Story

This is going to be unusual. It is my D.D's birth story and not mine. For me, it is a story of my deliverance by the Almighty God.
The God that watches my back all the time.
I got married to my NYSC Divinely arranged heartthrob on 5th Dec 2015 and by 25th (Christmas day) which was also supposed to be my day 1 period for that month, I was holding a positive pregnancy test strip.
I was happy and as well overwhelmed by different emotions, I had only been married for 20 days. The God that answers prayers
DH and I told MIL and my mum and they were happy, my mum was overjoyed. None of them told me what to expect. the first time I felt d effect of relaxin, it felt as if I was bumped into a wall.
Weeks rolled by and the ninth month arrived. All through ANC , I never had any health issues. I give God all the glory for that.
Used two bottles of Pronatal before switching to normal routine drugs(not diligently though) and vegs.
At d start of the pregnancy, I calculated my EDD based on my LMP which was 25th Nov 2015, taking into cognizance my 30 days cycle length and the EDD fell on 2nd September.
First scan at 22 weeks gave EDD as 29th Aug, Second scan at 37 weeks gave EDD as 31st Aug with 3.0kg.
DH was always praying for LO and conversing with her while in the womb but would always refer to her as 'my son' cos up till the time she was born, we chose not to believe scan dat said XX. She even recognized and could differentiate between DH's touch and mine while in the womb.
All through the pregnancy, I was very confident that about the delivery till 38 weeks that I suddenly burst into tears on seeing my DH. I don't know where the fear came from. I suddenly became scared. DH prayed for me but did I feel any better? I can't tell

29th Aug was my first EDD and also my ANC. Doctor said that was the day he would work with and that if by the following Monday I had not seen any show, I should come to d hospital with my baby thing for admission and induction at the prenatal ward. I was scared particularly of a case of failed induction. I wasn't happy. I told everyone on getting home and DH told me not to worry since my three dates were all in the week that baby will come before Monday.

Wed 31st Aug came and passed again, nothing. I was becoming aggravated. I told DH, "tell ur baby to come out so I can have my life back, I'm tired". He smiled and whispered to my bump, "Baby, you are coming out this week."

On Thursday morning, MIL told me to go on compulsory long walk, which I did with my umbrella in hand cos of d weather. I got back feeing extremely tired. I just went to sleep. In the evening after a dinner of beans and custard with DH, I I was tired and DH asked me what was happening, I told him I was just tired so he followed me into the room and me both laid on d bed while my mum watched us.
Me: Tell your baby to come out oo, talk into its small ears.
DH smiled and tried to change the topic wen I felt something drop in my vagina, I was still for two minutes before getting up suddenly. I pulled my pant down and DH just shouted water.
That was around past 10pm in d night. He went out with his brother and came with a cab. I wasnt feeling any pain and I chatted all the way to the hospital but I could sense the tension in the air.

On getting to the hospital, I was check by a nurse who claimed 7-8cm, I was happy but another one checked and said noo it's 2 cm. one of my prayers during the pregnancy was that all my birth attendants will work in the perfect will of God. Another nurse came in and said I had meconium stain already. They asked how long ago I started draining water and I explained that I came to the hospital as soon as it started. by now the water was gushing out. . I was transferred to d bed and contractions set in. they were 5 mins apart and lasted 1 min. Arnd 3am, on 2nd Sept, the contractions were getting unbearable and were now 3mins apart. I was checked and was just 3cm. that was when d devil wanted to raise its head; Fetal Heart rate started going down from 140 to 130.Two doctors came at around 6am and the senior one said that there was no more liquor. They kept asking how long I had been draining water and i kept insisting that i came as soon as it started. The FH kept dropping at each check. I was placed on drip with an instruction for critical augmentation within the next one hour, Low threshold for C.S.
I asked the duty nurse what was to come and she explained that it would be more painful and more spontaneous as she set up d drip, I rushed to the toilet and cried my eyes out. I was already nearing my pain limit, how was I supposed to bear that.
I got back to the bed and on seeing the waiting nurse and d already set drip, I ran back to d toilet again
Nurse: where are you going again
Me: I want to go and vomit.
I got there, put my hand in my throat, nothing came out.
I jejely pack my sef and settled on d bed for d inevitable.
Fast forward to when the morning duty nurses took over at about 8am , FH was checked and it had dropped to 126, that was wen I was gathered to the favour room.
I was placed on oxygen and the oxytocin dose were increased at intervals. They already prepared the resuscitation table for the baby cos of d dropping heart rate. I feared the worst.
Around 9:30am, I started having the urge to push and they were like don't push oo.
We were two in d labour room, d other lady started pushing and pooing and I was begging the nurses that I want to poo too but was ignored.
The matron came in and checked me. then she said push with the next contraction. I did but was told dat I was only shouting. I pushed again and saw the matron standing steady with her scissors.
matron: u are wasting contractions, oya push.
Me: I'm not feeling contractions
At my next push, she gave me a cut.
The other lady beside me delivered her baby at 10:15 and on seeing her baby, I gathered all the strength within me and pushed out my princess who came out all at once head and body 3.5kg @10:20am.
She was screaming so loud that tears of joy were just streaming down my face.
The devil was put to shame and there was no need to use d resuscitation table.
The matron pulled out d placenta and shouted. The cord had two knots on it which was responsible for the FH that kept going down. I appreciate the King of Kings, Oba oloruko ajila to gbamila lowo iku ojiji.
Thank God that I didn't wait till morning before going to the hospital.

It has been five days of exhaustion but the pure love takes the pain all away. Do I want my old life back? No way, life is much sweeter with a caring DH by my side and a cheeky sucky chubby princess in our arms.

sugah:
Sister joomie you are still owing me EDD and baby gender o. I see you peeping

My cappo yaff catch me, EDD according to LMP Sept 2, 1st and 2nd scan says Aug 29th $ 31st respectively but I'm going with LMP as the three dates are in one week.
As for sex, scan says XX but DH says XY and considering DAT scan do fail sometimes, we are team surprise.
LO is already weighing 3.0kg from an emergency scan DOC made me do after she complained DAT baby is measuring small from her tape rule measurements. Fear first catch me say small baby but when I saw 3.0kg @ 37 weeks, Na I'm correct afraid come catch me.

Thanks for your response @Zheemub. When I compared the two scans everything was the same except for d placenta location that changed from posterior to anterior. Yes I know there is no cause for alarm, and of course I felt my baby kicks as early as 17 weeks and it's dancing skills this past few weeks, nor be play. it always active that mere looking at my stomach, u see it moving and sometimes it's painful for me. I just want to know if this change is normal or a mistake on d part of the technician. I guess I might just have to ask my doctor at d next visit. Thanks again.
