Lizzyangel:
something has been bothering me for a while now, I'm glad to see a thread where experienced mothers are to rub minds together.

I'm in the 3rd trimester of my third pregnancy (I lost the second child after a year though).....I've always given birth by myself in the two previous deliveries...although it both took me days and was highly painful....I became sick and has been referred to a specialist hospital where the Doctors said they can't risk me going through labour cos if my health status....so a CS will be carried out....this news has brought many strange feelings to me...the phobia attached to CS in Nigeria is scary and this is really affecting me....I'm just trying to encourage myself...the past few days I've spent here @ the hospital,I've seen a lot that can last me a lifetime stories to tell....

experienced CS mothers...please share your before, during and after CS experience to at least help my mind...each time I remember I'd be called upon soon the fear is much.

I had a smooth CS experience with my first. At first I was afraid cos av watched series of videos on Cs. But the procedure was fast within 45 minutes I was out of d theatre. I felt pains no doubt about it, but the moment I was able to stand up straight, the pain vamoosed. I pray it shall be easy for you.

I didn't bother with any online class. What is a 2yr old learning online? I know my 2yr old should be learning through play and fun activities. I have never for once taken out time to teach my son anything, we learn as we go along. He has educational toys, we learnt colours with his multi coloured spoons and toothbrush. He knows his alphabets, we sing it everyday, knows phonics and numbers etc.. our latest feat now is that he can different Pentagon from hexagon , this took months.

But you see that writing ehn, I tried but my son would rather scribble and write jagajaga At this point, I stopped trying to teach and just allowed him scribble. What did the magic for us was one preschool game app i downloaded, it has different things in it and tracing is on it too. My neighbour told me about the app, I didnt even know there was tracing there.

My son would practice and practice. Now he can write a-z, both capital and small letters but it is still in a jagajaga way . I just got some 2d exercise books, let's see how we can try to write in a presentable manner. But I noticed his grip isn't stable, so I might allow him write anyhow to just get used to gripping the pencil first.

You can try the app and see if it will help.

Pls ma, what is the name of the app

Chikabel:
June mamas, more BAs and BSs I pray. God bless our little ones that have arrived and their families. Amen!

Annaseyi:
Cappo this is notify you that I have left the race. At around 10.34am today baby Lotanna went to meet the lord and I know I have an angel watching over me.

Woke up to serious contractions around 12.30am and when I went to use the loo, I felt my water gush and bleeding following subsequently. We left to the hospital immediately and after a lot of delay, an injection was given to stop the bleeding. By 9.00am when fetal doppler and also ultrasound machine were used to check baby's vitality, doctor realized he was dead and I was induced.

I birthed him less than 30 minutes after while I was in the toilet poling and held my baby for few minutes. Placenta took 3 hours plus before it was finally delivered. Devil thought he would win but as usual he is always the failure.

This is like a shock to me as we just saw baby less than 20 hours ago in an ultrasound when we went to check for gender and he was waving at us and kicking his legs.

Please pray for me mamas that I would come soon and that my journey won't be cut short again. This is me having two losses in less than a year but in God I give the praise.

Satan is a liar and a failure. U will be coming back here very soon to announce a BFP and surely you will belong to team Green cos you shall receive double even triple for your trouble. Keep ur spirit high mama. Love you

Itissettled3:
Capo @Patking. Sorry for my silence, I was fighting battles.

Birth announce and Birth story.

My EDD was May 10 but because I was opting for elective CS, I joined Team April.

January 31 after Eating one sweet porridge Yam, I noticed I felt wet. I entered the bathroom to check, immediately I pulled my underwear, a large pool of blood poured. I was rushed to the hospital where it was discovered I had a total placenta abruption.

Dr. Said she has to do an immediate Csection to save my life. I was only 25 weeks and 4 days (6.5 months) pregnant. My baby was brought out weighing 748grams.

As she laid in her isolette and the doctors not giving any hope, I cried to God, begging him to save her and pledging that I will share her testimony round the world. I said "please heal her and make her testimony draw souls to Christ."

God had mercy on us. He saved her. He kept her. He gave us a song and His words in John 11 VS 4 which was my prayer did not fall to the ground.

We were told the 1st 24 hours were crucial. The hospital where I gave birth has a low level NICU and so she had to be airlifted to another hospital. They were not sure how she will do on the flight but God kept her.

We had a tough start.
She went through:
1. 9 initial intubation trial
2. PDA(An open hole in the heart) which closed after ibruprofen therapy.
3. NEC Suspicion(perforation of the intestine because of its immaturity.
4. 8 blood transfusions
5. 41 days on the ventilator
6. We later moved to CPAP another breathing machine. A total of 43days on CPAP
7. She was moved to regular Oxygen. She didn't hold up well and went back to CPAP. She was tried again and it was ok. She is off all support.
8. Uncountable Xrays and ultrasounds
9. 2 MRIs.

God saved my baby. I totally depended on God and pleaded with him for mercy. My heart was in shambles but God gently put them together. I drew comfort from God's words and knew I could not give up. I said this bible verse everyday



" John 11 vs 4, When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."

We had a great team at the NICU(Neonatal Intensive care unit) who God used to take good care of my daughter.

After 108 days, I got to take my daughter home.

It is time to tell the world about the Miracle call Eloghosa. We spent 108 day in the NICU. At discharge she weighed 3.7kg. Is God not good?

Her name means It is not difficult with God.

God is Awesome.

John 11 vs 4.

When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."

Jeremiah 32: 27

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

What a testimony..... CONGRATULATIONS ma

BS

After my pregnancy and delivery journey of my first baby, I became so scared of having another one
I had nightmares, always afraid of the unknown incase I get pregnant again,but as God will have it when no one expected it I conceived my SON.

Pregnancy was not smooth,all the classes of MS were following me up and down,then the nightmares intensified I dreamt of dieing,always dreamt of burials and coffins and I prayed prayed, cried and cried,the thought of leaving my DD and DH killed me more.
You mama's on this thread gave me hope,all your prayers kept me going,my DD smiles kept me alive and I promised I won't leave her.

fastword to 30weeks I saw signs of my greatest fear(Repeat of Eclampsia),I told DH and he did not believe me but my instincts were 98% correct most of the time
BP,Protein in urine was normal so everything seemed perfect,I went to hospital and Gyn said am doing well

I still was not calm,My legs were swollen(not noticeable but I knew)
i gained 5kg in 3days(when I was not eating well)
All the other symptoms I saw during the first time started reoccurring,DH said it was my mind but I knew what I was talking about.
My BP read 120-125/75 as i checked daily at home ,its a normal BP but It was abnormal for me because at the start of pregnancy it ranged 107-110/68-70,so something was up.

At 34weeks due to lockdown I went to a hospital close to me for checkup and told the Gyn my pregnancy history,I did scan and some tests and behold protein was in my urine,one of the tests showed baby was going to having jaundice,Amniotic fluid was reducing(I was not leaking any fluid)
The Gyn said I should go back to where I registered and see the Gyn meanwhile he gave me BP drugs.

I tried and went to my hospital at 35weeks,the situation was worsening,Drugs and dosage for BP was increased,Amniotic fliud was fast reducing,
baby movements were reduced but the heart rate according to scan was fine,protein was 2++,I was admitted and monitored for 2days to see if things will change.
A CS was scheduled at 36weeks.
HMO changed their mind on covering cost in my hospital and asked us to go to another one but God being so good,the Gyn in the new hospital consults in my former hospital also,how happy I was seeing him though he has not attended to me during this pregnancy but I knew I was in safe hands.

Day of CS came,I went to the hospital but the Gyn asked me to continue my BP drugs and wait for 1 more week.
Again my instincts said No,I told the him I can't wait because I could no longer feel baby movements like before(less than 10kicks a day)
He listened, and I did a scan immediately which showed Amniotic fluid has almost dried up
BP was 180/115,protein was 3+
It became an emergency CS
Baby was brought out, he cried so well,cleaned up and was showed to me.
the nurse that cleaned him up noticed something was wrong, he was looking BLUE.
The doctors in the theater said nothing was wrong since he cried well,but the nurse insisted something was not ok and checked his oxygen level,my son's SPO2 was 35.
Immediately Oxygen was fixed and he was put in the incubator, stitching me was war as needles kept breaking inside me and my BP was shooting up,After all trials I was finally stitched up and I started convulsing,the devil tried but he lost.

The struggle began to save my baby,after using up 3 big oxygen cylinders,the hospital got tired and told me to prepare for the worst as he was still breathing badly.
I prayed,begged God to save my SON.
That nurse(May God bless her always) assured me nothing will happen,she prayed and cried with me,
seeing my son in that state is the worst torture ever.

Day 4 came and my son was still on oxygen,breathing was still terrible, he was on the 4th big oxygen cylinder already, the pediatrician asked he be referred to general hospital as he can't handle the case anymore.

A doctor who resumed duty that morning asked for the oxygen to be removed, my baby given to me and I should breastfeed him,How do I breastfeed a baby not breathing well?
In faith, for the first time I held my baby,prayed for him and put him to breast.
my fellow mama's, breastfeeding my child was the miracle we were praying for,I don't know how but my son did not use half of the 4th cylinder and he was taken out of the incubator and out of oxygen.

Day 5, chest xrays where done which came out clean
SPO2 was 98 and were we certified OK.
Everyone was amazed at the miracle(Including those wicked nurses who indirectly told something bad will happen)
we sang praises to GOD( only him can do what no MAN can do)

When all hope was lost,when I thought it was the end
God intervened, he heard my cry and saw my pain.

Day6 I asked for jaundice test to be done and it came out high,he was put under phototherapy for two days and we were discharged.

As for my stitches there is still an opening bringing out fluid with a foul odour, I have taken antibiotics and still watching it.

To all pregnant mama's yet to deliver,always PRAY!
Pray for the doctors,nurses,cleaners,gatemen infact everyone that will be on duty that week,May they be angels in disguise
pray for all utensils that will be used on you
pray for the hospital, may everything you need be there at the right time.
Follow your Instinct and keep an open mind.
Safe delivery to you all,You will carry your babies and smile back home.
Quick and safe delivery is yours IJN.

My GTC mama's your testimony is at hand,you will carry your bundles of Joy Soon.

Congrats to all mama's that have birthed their LO,they will bring blessings to you and live a long healthy life

Hello beautiful moms, our God indeed is great. I m here on behalf of my wife. Last year april 1 we lost our baby at about 34weeks, negligence from d so called state-of-the-art hospital. Sometimes this dr's attend to so many patients on antenatal days and get overwhelmed. It was a very hard time for my wife but with the holy spirit we scaled through and we are 15weeks pregnant as of today. Can't go into much details, just to encourage everyone out there that conception, delivery is divine, just trust God. The beauty of this time is we have not had to go to hospital on any emergency, we v not had any sleepless night, no pains, as against the last time when at this time we were regular customers, all d nurses, security men knew us, sometimes we would be at the hospital at 5am, bed rest, drips n all, we had no peace. Well November 2020 is our time, and so far so great.God will do it for everyone else too. God bless u all.

AMEN congratulations sir. Your Joy shall be full in Jesus name.

BS! BS!! BS!!!

Let me start my birth story by giving praises to God for making me feel the joy of motherhood again...This pregnancy happened the month i tot i was out and already making preparation for the next cycle( only TTC mothers can relate).... I placed myself on Clomid early august, why i was treated fir infection, took progesteron injection(11days straight on drips and injection) was already waiting for September AF but God showed himself and i tested postive September 5th.
This pregnancy was so nice to me, MS was manageable and my appetite was so on point, i was having contradicting EDD cos according to LMP Edd is 13th may but first scan gave me 23rd, my doc decided to go with LMP date when 13the came and no show i was asked to come for induction on 18th, i had no fear cos i ve experience it before.
10am on Monday 18th I and hubby went to the hospital without informing anybody, scan was done and i was sent to the maternity ward around12 was given a bed and patiently waiting for the process to start and finally meet my princess i ask hubby to get me food are 2pm so i go get strength to display and for the journey ahead...
Around 5:30pm half tablet of cytotec was insert cos i was already 2cm dilated before going to the hospital...30mins after the drama started but was still manageable and i kept urinating till are 9:30pm when the pain changed gear and drama and d screaming started the window net, bed iron and wardrobe beside me really suffered...Around 12am i told the nurse i want to poo she checked me and said i was just 3cm plus( i nearly fainted wen i heard cos with all those pain and 10cm looks like forever), few minutes later my membrane rupture and she checked and said i was 5cm, she was about setting drip to give me oxytocin but she was kind of slow and i had dis serious urge to poo, i toldbher d baby is pushing me and i won poo she behave as if she no hear and was busy setting d drip when i couldn't hold it again i started releasing heavy weight poop for them right there on the bed, wen she saw it and checked open my legs she started rushing and ask me to move to the delivery room, with pain i stood up from the bed and another round of pooing started i knelt down and released another round, after enough beating from the nurse asking me to stand up and moving to the delivery room, i stood up took only one step and i felt this pressure in my va*ina i open my legs touch it and felt something that look like head immediately i started screaming my baby is coming oooo, lie down back on the bed with d nurse screaming that i should stand up with just one push my royal rainbow baby jumped out with the sweetest voice and giving me small tears....She was taken to the delivery room cleaned up, weigh and brought back to the ward, my placenta was delivered and i was taken to the delivery room for stitching without any injection it was painful but the tot of my baby made me forget abt the pain..
The nurses said it was spontaneous labour cos i moved from 5cm to 10cm within 5--10mins but i know it was God that did his wonders and made me delivered right there in the ward with little assistance...We are back home and doing well...

How do people make big babies.
After everything I ate in my first pregnancy though I am hardly able to eat a full plate at once, baby still came out 2.8kg.

This current one weighed 1.4kg at 30weeks.
My mum said i need to ear more so the baby will not build duplex in my tommy since there is still much space, and not come out on time.
She recommended B complex. I took it and started eating like mad. But I had to stop because I dont have anyone cooking for me. I cook all my meals plus all my cravings. My husband cannot cook anything.

Challenge is am always too lazy to cook. How then do I eat enough for the baby?
Is there sth else I can do to have a 3.5kg baby at least?

My last baby was so tiny. I want this one to be a bit fleshy.

IT depends on u n hubby. If U and hubby were small as a baby then you will have a small baby. Don't worry when baby comes out u will feed baby fat.

Dedewizzy:
Greetings to all mamas and dads in the house. I've been a silent follower of this thread for a few weeks now and it wouldn't be fair if I don't share this here.

So sometime last year my wife missed her period, from our local calculations from her lmp EDD fell on the 24th of May but first scan we did by her 21st week gave the EDD for 9th of May. Yours truly wasn't really bothered since from every indication it wouldn't exceed the month of May.

It was quite a smooth ride all through. Fast forward to 7th of May around 2am she began purging after that stomach started aching which got severe as time went on. I checked the date and discovered its just 2days to EDD and this should be labour, I called wife's sister who confirmed the signs was for labour that we should dash for the hospital. Around 6am we set off for the hospital. A nurse checked her and said it isn't yet time but she should still wait for the doctor. Meanwhile the pains (more like contractions) had suddenly disappeared. Doctor also confirmed that it isn't labour that she still has a quite a while to go. He offered her Flagyl to stop the purge. Yours truly was kind of relieved and disappointed at same time. I had already informed some people that wifey was in labour. We went back home and normalcy resumed.

Fast forward to the early hours of this morning 15th May, around 3am contractions started it got so pronounced that around 4am it started coming at an interval of 3minutes apart. I had read a handful from this beautiful thread already to know that this was the real deal. Remembering what happened the previous week, I didn't bother calling anyone this time around so as not to raise another false alarm and risk not to be taken serious anymore. I told her to get set so we leave for the hospital, contraction continued and the urge to poo set it. I begged her not to as from my few weeks here it might just be the baby coming down as I can't risk attending to her if it happens in the restroom. I've gained a lot of knowledge from here but midwifery wasn't one. Against my plea she still did poo and thank goodness nothing happened. She was set after a while and we set off for the hospital.

A nurse checked her and all she said was "one finger" and referred her to the next room to seat. All trials to make her explained exactly what she meant by the one finger proved abortive. At that moment I remembered "Google is your friend" I quickly went to search for the meaning only to discover she's just 1-2cm dilated and it might still take a while for the baby to come. I explained the meaning for wifey and she decided if that was the case she should go to work. This was kicked against and she was asked to remain. I decided to set off for work.

Now the testimony, I was just getting to the office when I received a call from her. I was thinking probably they have come to check on her again and maybe it has increased to "two fingers" but no. I heard the best statement I've heard all year which was she telling me "the baby is out". I couldn't hide my excitement. Everything progressed so fast. She didn't spend upto 30 minutes in the delivery room before our prince landed around past 8am. Baby weighing 3.2kg, mother strong and healthy with no tears, no inducement no prolonged labour. It can only be God. I'm eternally grateful.


From a proud and happy husband turn father.

Congrats daddy and welcome our prince.

Good morning , we had a miscarriage after 12 weeks. It was a traumatic experience. The baby literally came out in the bathroom after severe pain and bleeding in the bathroom of our hospital. She had fibroid but doctor then said it wasn't caused by the fibroid. We did a scan in the hospital two hours before the miscarriage and from the scan the doctor said everything was fine but they gave her an injection for pain and that happened. It was so bad, we had to go on vacation with two family couples for a week outside the country to overcome the trauma. Prayer also helped.

We kept praying and she's pregnant again . We decided to see a fertility specialist who is a specialist in threatened pregnancies and after a scan he recommended cyclogest, duphaston, pronatal and a low dose aspirin. She was six weeks pregnant when all this was recommended. We have been using it religiously. Just want to confirm if these drugs have been used by anyone here and if the drugs have helped anyone. Is there any side effects we have to be aware of ? The doctor has explained to us to an extent but it will also be nice to hear from real life people. Thanks

Congrats sir. She shall surely carry this to term by God's grace. I used duphaston for my first pregnancy when fibroid was disturbing my baby. I didn't feel any side effects and baby came out fine.

My Birth Story.

My Office had earlier mandated all women with pregnancy at advanced stages to work from home.
We are two on my desk, I knew my colleague would be plagued with so much work, so i stepped in monday and briefly on wednesday to assist her. Fortunately, my branch is a trekkable distance from my house, so 2mins drive and I'm there.
On Friday morning, I saw a mail from the Audit unit requesting for scanned copies of different files. I knew that retrieving and scanning files while still attending to normal daily activities wouldnt be easy for my colleague so i decided to pop in again at work on friday. I told my husband to drop me off on his way to work. On our way, I started feeling minor cramps which i thought were Braxton hicks, hubby kept asking if i was ok...I told him not to worry.

So I got to work, called one of the security guards to assist with lifting and retrieving files which were high up on the shelves, i started climbing and going down to retrieve some other files....did this for about 3hours pausing at intervals whenever i felt the cramps. I then went ahead to eat, but I noticed the appetite just wasnt there and the menstrual-like cramps were getting more intense. I still proceeded to scan the documents I'd earlier retrieved but halfway i got tired and handed over to my colleague who was really appreciative as she knew i really didnt have to come. I had on a combination of nosemask and faceshield so noone noticed i was in any pain. 4pm, I called my husband to come pick me but I needed to trek to the bus stop as he had already passed my office and turning back meant driving a long distance. I bought my daily dose of #500mangoes , remembered i needed to buy a new bible for the incoming baby, entered a bookshop to quickly buy one while waiting for my husband. The moment i entered the car, i felt the a cramp so intense there was no doubt it was a contraction. This was already 5pm.
On getting home, hubby fried eggs and plantain which I ate and then slept off. I was woken around 7pm by another contraction. My husband was still asking me if its time to go to the hospital, I said no...that we would go in the morning. I felt this strong urge to poo and went to the restroom to do the do but I noticed something heavier than normal poo was putting pressure on my anus and decided against pooing. i left immediately and thats when another contraction hit me, this one was so painful it made me cry and from then another one at about 5 minutes interval. I quickly dressed up and told my husband to let us go to the hospital while crying. The contractions were at this point coming at a ridiculous interval of 3mins, it didnt make any sense cos I hadnt even had up to 10 contractions in total. Thank God my hospital bag had been in the car for more than a week as i was already way past my due date, hubby and I jumped in and within the 7mins drive to the hospital, i was having contractions back to back and shedding hot tears.

on getting to the hospital, the doc who had been attending to me for my antenatal appointments sighted me at the entrance and asked me to quickly enter a room for him to check me. He inserted his hands to checked and screamed, she's 8cm gone! He told the nurses to prepare the Labor room immediately and set a line. I was in shock! You see, with my first child, I was in Labor for 16hrs and I remember i got to 8cm only in the 15th hour of rigorous pain...same level as the one i was feeling that same night. So, It felt like God deliberately took away 15hrs of pain from me.

Oxytocin was set for me and real drama started, Oh no! I screamed, spoke in tongues, recited Psalm 91 over and over again...grabbed the doc while completely naked and threatened to kill him if he stepped out of the labor room...My Bp shot up to 160/100 along the line so had to be given medication to bring it down. an Hour later, i felt the strongest urge to poo and i told them i was going to push whether they liked it or not. Doctor checked and said i should go ahead, With three strong pushes, My 4.3kg baby boy came out and the placenta easily followed suit.

I had a small vaginal tear and so had to be stitched up, got cleaned up and was moved to another room to rest.
By the next moring, i felt ok especially after eating but was told bp still needed to be monitored and lowered before being discharged.
To the Glory of God, we were discharged monday morning. Baby and I are doing fine but I cant thank God enough for showing me mercy and reducing the labor timeframe.

I'm worried and sad, my husband as left, I'm only here on admission to monitor if I'm still having contraction and heavy discharge like draw soup (dont knw the meaning ) the next 48hrs. They gave me steriod injection to mature the baby's lungs and some drugs if she's going to come and to be on a safer side it's midnight now, cant sleep and i have bn crying.
