A very Beautiful and sunny morning to y'all mamas
Sorry to serial the thread but lemme rant before I run mad

My 4 year friendship is taking another turn..
So I met this friend of mine 4 years ago while TTC and we have really been supporting each other. We got married same year . We pray togeda, share experiences and even eat together. She is really peaceful and haven't had any issues whatsoever with her for 4 years now. I do love and care for her

I noticed things started changing when early this year I told her I'm expecting. She only said congrats and went offline. Unlike my first preggie where she almost screamed down the building from excitement. Usually I'm not a fan of telling friends and family that one is preggie but she's so close that I couldn't help it, oweing to the fact that I was in another state running a program only for me to return almost due, I felt she would feel sad that I couldn't share my joy with her

So she started ignoring my chats. 6 months later she msgd me only to discover I was on admission.
I finally relocated back to base and delivered. I'm not even bothered that she didn't show up and naming even though her house is just a pole away.

Now the issue is the 1st day she came to see us she met me bathing my 1 week old and said my baby looks like a defeathered turkey.. I was so shocked that I screamed WTF! She apologized and said she meant no harm but that my baby really look funny
Fast forward to 6 weeks later. She came to say hello yesterday and repeated the same thing - holding my baby's two legs and admiring them she was like" Chicken dey hungry me oo "..
This time around I almost told her to leave but had to control myself. I asked her what inspired the thoughts of eating chicken that early morning and she said my newborn's laps inspired her cos they look like chicken laps without apology. I shouted " so full human being now looks like chicken that you want to eat abi?" She burst into laughter.
She has been TTC for 4 years now, 1 miscarriage, 7 failed IUI and currently considering IVF. I had managed my temper so she doesn't feel cos she has no seed yet I mocked her or something. This is someone I dont go a day without saying a word of prayer for. Someone should pls tell me if I'm trying to overreact cos Im already afraid of the friendship
If you were in my shoes how will you react to this statement?

my sis. Ur not overreacting, how can someone call a precious gift chicken...I think there's more to it, coz according to you she repeat it each time she cm visit..she might be looking for a way to get you angry for you to abuse her and she will hold it against you.

Just avoid her and still keep prayer for her till she HV her own baby, then you can start ur close friendship again..

BS

I thank God for his mercy through out the journey of my preg. never new I will conceived so fast coz HV bn havn stomach hotness for yrs

I was admitted twice in my 1st trim. until I came across this forum.. thanks to all mamas here for their love...

I enjoy my 2nd and 3rd trim. at 37 weeks+ they said my baby is in breech position.. was advise to do some exercises and pray..

according to my LMP my due date is oct13 and scan gv me 28 Sept... so was thinking I will pack my bag at the end of sept. coz they said FTM always pass their due date, on Sunday I notice water coming out of my VG, so I ask my mamas here and I was advice to rush to Hosp. though no pain, I just put on my church cloth thinking I will go from there, the nurse check me and said am in labour that were is my bag, I told her am not in pain she said she will check me, oh my, that's when the real pain started... I was already 4cm...my contraction was back to back no time to rest....from 7am till 12 I was 5cm...

around 3pm I was 8cm, so to labour room, 3:30still 8-9cm, so she told me anytime I had contraction DAT I should push, DAT was when I started pushing when am not fully dilated, still on 9cm when she cut me she said I should push, can't count how many time I push, baby is not coming and I was bleeding so serious, around some minute to 4 my baby is out with a lot of tear....

I thank Almighty God for answering my prayer HV always wanted my baby to sept coz me and DH are sept and he did it for me.. a lot of things happen in d labour room, but I gv glory to God that am alive.....

thanks to all mamas in this forum... to all waddling mamas safe and Sharp delivery and TTC God of awesome wonder will answer you...

Bunny19:
Good morning mamas! Hmm.... Allah gives and Allah takes! Am hurting sisters, am really hurting but who am I to say no when God has decreed a thing.

I went for a second opinion and truly my baby is no more. IUFD(intra uterine fetal death) according to the two scans. Remember when I was 6weeks n went for scan, they said d fetus is sharing same space with a submucous myoma,apparently the fibroid grew big and kind of suffocated the fetus.

Alhamdulillah for the experience,after 8yrs of trying I was able to carry a child in my womb for 19weeks, I know am not barren and this just proves it.

Greater things ahead for me, will look into how to get rid of this fibroid then I will try again, I won't give up. I need all d prayers I can get from u all as I go for evacuation.

I love u all and wish my lovely team mates and all wonderful mama safe delivery. N one will suffer any loss inshaAllah. It's well with u all.

am so sorry sis...God will triple it for u

I lost my phone days y HV not bn online since

Oct. mama how we dey..few week to go...we shall all deliver safely

Enkay12:
Ma pls just relax your mind ,my baby was breech when scan was measuring 36+5 weeks,i was told its usually difficult to turn at that stage but she later turned at 38 weeks or so. Just be optimistic but whichever way it goes the most important thing is you and your baby coming out alive. Safe delivery dear

thanks ma, I pray it turn, HV bn doing exercise since morning...

Rejoice04:
Teamie don't bother yourself too much your baby will still turn. Keep praying and do some mild exercises to encourage baby to turn head down. For example you can go on all fours as if you are scrubbing the floor. You can do this like four times a day.Also check YouTube for other safe exercises that can encourage baby to turn head down.

All the best dear. You are in my prayers.

thank u ma,

Mumifortune:
You still have few weeks left before delivery, have faith coupled with prayer that your baby must turn and take the right position.

Remember you don't need anything that will stress you at this stage so calm your mind down with positive thoughts that no matter what you and baby will be safe and alive.

You can also watch and try out YouTube exercise videos that induce baby to change position like mama Rejoice04 suggested, it works also.
And try walking exercise as your strength can carry you, keep ur body active because when your body is active and moving, baby too won't feel comfortable in one position, it will be force to change position. It's well with you and baby.

I will do that ma, the baby has been in cephalic position since my conception, den I was taking cold drink...just like two weeks now I stop taking it since they said its not good, was thinking maybe its d cause ooo...anyway have continue my cold drink oooo

Thank u ma

pam09:
U just need to be strong, have faith and hope for the best. Ur baby may most likely still turn so don't conclude. All the same be optimistic that whatever the case is mummy and baby would come out safe and sound.

thank u ma

tatacherie:
So I've experienced vaginal birth and cesarean birth and if I'm to compare I'll say both are fine. In my honest opinion the difference is in CONVENIENCE. The 2 births tamper with a woman's body so what's the big deal.
Firstly, During labour in my first preggie the pain was outta this world the only thing is its a one time pain, you face it squarely and it goes away almost immediately after delivery.
Secondly I ate anything I wished to eat after delivery
Thirdly, I had a warm shower as soon as I got to the maternity ward
Fourthly, I started using my hot tummy belt and snapped back to my figure in no time
Fifthly, my mum was only able to do omugwo for 3 weeks so when she left all work fell back to me again, cooking, chores, baby, et al. I was strong and could lift things here and there. The list is endless

However for this 2nd delivery Firstly, after the anesthesia wore off pain was also quite unbearable for me, (if you read my 1st birth story you will understand) however so far I'm recovering fast. Pains are still there but I'ts being managed with pain relief
Secondly, I couldn't eat what I wanted. According to the Dr my system had been tampered with and need little time to adjust,air had entered my body so they needed to be sure everything is functioning properly before I can eat all I wish for. So it was strictly fluids to start with, followed by soft meals, then Solids. I actually wanted tea, fruits, pepper soup amongst others but that wasn't possible immediately
Thirdly, I have to just clean my body with warm water and napkin to avoid water contact with the site.
Fourthly, I won't use hot belt however I've been assured I'll still snap back to shape in no time.
Lastly, no lifting of objects weightier than my baby till at least 6 months post partum, anyway this won't move me to get a house help, others did it and survived so I will manage myself.

Now if I'm to choose between vaginal birth and cesarean birth I'll choose the first, both were painful to me although I was able to tolerate labour pain better than CS recovery pain.
So I'll choose it because of my pain tolerance and convenience after delivery. I pray a VBAC works for me in my next missionary journey by God's grace.
But if a repeat CS is the best option then I'll gladly go for it. Remember the most important thing is that mom and baby are alive and healthy

Early August I saw that I will deliver via CS. there was this soft voice telling me that it will be the best option out.
It was as if two minds arguing but one was calm and saying prepare ahead spiritually financially and emotionally.
I told dh and he countered it, started blasting in tongues. Please don't get me wrong I believe in the Christian faith strongly but I also ACT. I prayed for God's will to prevail while I prepared my mind ahead for both procedures.
I cannot comman lose my precious gift after pushing for 8 months. Lots of moms had rejected CS option and seeked opinion elsewhere. Vaginal birth was successful for some while for others their babies where already in distress and they lost them. Prayerfully commit every option you choose to God and it will be successful

Honestly if genuine posts on nairaland GTC, PREGNANCY & NEWBORN THREAD are to be converted into a book I tell you it will be a best seller! Although not every information here is 100% true but majorly these are live experiences and people's testimonies but unfortunately it's a faceless forum so anything is possible, good, bad and ugly.
Special shout out to seun for creating this forum though you're making your dough but I'm drawing your attention to the lives these 3 threads have been and is still saving

I pray God visits all the GTC moms soon, you are all fruitful I tell you therefore go forth and multiply. You will all carry your babies.
Come 2019/2020 May your little ones flood the new born thread for threadcuties in Jesus name Amen!!!
All the pushing mama's I wish you the easiest and safest delivery.
Ignore all my typos, filter and get the best out of my BS
I love you all God bless you all.

Hello mums, am just coming back from ANC, my preggie is 31weeks,6days today but the doctor measured it with hand and tape and its 30 weeks.
Hope all is well

same here.. according to my LMP am 33 +3days, but they said am 34 +3days..I just hope all is well

Joomie:
There's nothing like okay ori. Any openings on the head of the baby is the anterior and posterior fontanelle and it was specially designed by God so that the skull can adjust for the head to pass through the birth canal. It is actually the toxic things that are added to the supposed oka ori that is harmful to the baby. Unripe plantain is rich in iron and dietary fiber so carry go.

Tatacherie, the Almighty God will perfect what he has started.

thanks ma,

whyworryPH:
My dear eat am wella. I don't know what 'oka ori' means but I always eat it as porridge with vegetable and smoked fish and my baby is fine. My friend does not miss it in her pregnancy and can I tell you a little secret? Unripe plantain makes children very strong as in, physically strong so no messing around bullying such kids. If you try to drag something with those kids as little as they are,you will be sweating before you succeed.

The only thing is that if I don't dice it very tiny, I find it difficult to eat. Wish I'm like you that like it very much. I'm only taking it because of the testimony from those that ate it during their pregnancy and can testify to its effect. Once baby lands, I will stop mbok.

thanks ma, let me continue enjoy d package...

please mamas, I do cravw for unripe plaintain and they told me it cause 'oka ori' don't knw the English name..how true is it ma, I like it very much with cold water....

the lord who did it shall surely complete his work, his not a failure or half way God. u shall surely testify to his good work

healthy baby and healthy mother with ease delivery.... God is at work mama. @tatacherie

My contractions were nothing like BH.the contractions were like super menstrual cramps. The contractions were coming every 5 minutes and I would just hold my hair and d bed post whenever it hit. My MIL was sitting with me telling me sorry.i told her to shut up and when she started videoing me I threw my hair bound at her. I was praying to God to let me progress quickly as I was too scared of having another cytotec inserted. I felt d need to poo and I told d nurses but they disallowed me saying its not real poo thank God there was potty nearby. I poo and I saw blood and bloody show. It was bright red mucus and I felt relieved a bit... I lay down on the bed with my left side and I had iv hooked up so it was really preventing me from moving around.at 11:45 am... I heard a pop sound and alas! It was my water.... It was so plenty Eh. It flooded d bed. My MIL called one of d nurses and she asked d other nurses to move me to d labour ward. I started crying uncontrollably bcoz I knew there was no going back now. The contractions were so intense that I can't describe it. I was checked in d labour ward thinking I should be very close to 10cm only to b told I was 5cm.oh God! I started crying again. The nurses were just telling me to bear in mind that I was only half way done. My BP started shooting up that d nurses were worried. The doctor came back around 12 and checked me and told me I was only 4cm and she decided to stretch my cervix to 5 again. I was just numb. Couldn't cry again.she told them my bp was rising bcoz I was scared that it's nothing to worry about. Then she decided to augment d labour by injecting my drip with pitocin. I told her not to do it at first that I couldn't cope with d pain again... She told me to have faith that she's only trying to help me, then she left. I started having a very strong urge to push and everybody kept telling me not to that I would only end up In theatre with torn uterus and cervix as Iwas not there yet. One matron came, checked and said my baby was too big and that I have moulding bcoz I was pushing. I told her I wasn't pushing and I tried my best not push.4 hours later, the doctor came and checked and I was still in 5cm. I started crying and praying to God.i was already losing my strength and I asked for glucose... I took satchets of glucose and wen d contraction hit I started eating d satchet.the doctor told me my baby wasn't too big for VD. She told me that since I wasn't progressing they have to perform cs on me. I told her to go n meet my mother-in-law outside and she said I have to make d decision myself. She said OK she will give me a little time and come back to check that if I was still d same and my baby was still at zero station they would section me.. She then increased d dosage of pitocin and left.. God! D pain was intense pressure very intense that I had to direct d pressure to something else for me not to push. So whenever d contractions hit I held d post with all my strength and breathed in and out with my mouth wide open and when I couldn't take it again... I started screaming my head off. I banged d plastic bedside wardrobe, I pushed everything beside me... And I slammed d table especially when they were busy talking and I was contracting.The nurse put her hand on my Tommy and said I was only having moderate contractions that they were not strong atall.i felt like tearing her apart with my teeth. Was it bcoz I felt my contractions in my lower abdomen, pelvic, cervix, hips and my waist? Was it bcoz it was not like BH?because I didn't feel it in my upper abdomen? I was asking myself these questions.i couldn't cry again was just beginning God and saying prayers. Was already weak and tired. The doctor came back and checked me and she was happy as I was 7cm and my baby has descended.she assured me that I was gonna make t kg at she was going to monitor me.. She put fetal heart monitor machine and attached to my abdomen and d heartbeat of my baby could be heard loud and clear. She had already set the theatre and had d team ready in case of emergency..my baby heartbeat would drop anytime I had contractions.she then increased d dosage again and that was when I went out of my mind screaming at them to take me to theatre that I couldn't cope any longer.d doctor was just making jest at me telling me she was not there when I was bd with my husband. I asked her to come and remove the baby and she told me to talk to my baby. I started talking and begging my baby to come out or else I might die. The urge was so uncontrollable now that I couldn't hold d pushing. I wanted to push so bad cos d pressure was painful and intense.the doctor asked me to poo that that's d only way she was going to be sure I was ready. I told her I couldn't poo as I had diarrhea 2 days before.i started pushing and they rushed to check and alas! My baby's head was seen. They were so happy and moved me to d pushing room.. They told me to hold my two legs and push when d next contraction hit. D pushing was a relieve though painful but was not as much as contraction.i pushed like 4 times and I was cut and d baby came out at once but didn't cry. They took her somewhere and gave her oxygen and everything and she was OK. Then the placenta was a case on it own.... The placenta was so long n high up that d nurse put her hand inside my womb several times to carefully put it out..it was another hell! It took time.. D doctors were surprised about d placenta too but finally it came out and I was stitched up.i had plenty of tears as a ftm as well as episiotomy which took about an hr and I was bathed and all... I started crying n I told them I was crying cos I was happy.. It was magical! Seeing my baby I couldn't stop crying. And that was it... I was traumatized but it ended well.thank you all for your support

thank God it ended in praise...reading and feeling I was there...we'll reap the fruit of our labour in Gods name...God bless our angel
