No I haven’t been taking it. I guess it aids labour.

Astilo:
mama so sorry..I take zobo too but it doesn’t affect me..maybe its not good for you..have you been taking it before now

Pearl05:
My senior belleful mama, since you don't have history of bp and likely no malaria, complaining of headache to the Dr will sound like complaining of heat or feeling thirsty constantly. He will only give you PCM and more routine drugs.

Just be managing the head like small small. Rest as much as you can get. Plait hair that will enable you to pour water on the head anytime, now wig is the new bae; just fling it one side and rock your weaving at home till you want to go out.

Then be collecting kpomo from dh as much as possible. That early morning kpomo does wonder, after eating it na more sleep straight for me. Best served around 3:30-5:30 am. It relaxes the nerves and headache will go on vacation.


It's not my handwriting ooo. It resembles senior mama Messyodi writing.

Lol see @kokolet007 kpomo is the solution to this headache. Try and raise ur leg high enough for deeper penetration. It will hit your brain and the headache will varnish. ... Just teasing you. You will be fine take paracetamol and have plenty of rest. Avoid taking too much water before bedtime to reduce toilet visits. It will end in praise

Countdown to February
One more week!!!

Its been you lord ...

callola:
please sabi mama's, is 2.3kg too big or small for a 33 weeks pregnancy? though, Scan is measuring 34 weeks

I think it’s fair

Thank you mama. Im going through them now. Gracias

rvpbae:
Zobo induces contraction for most people. You can search this thread. You are already full term at 37weeks sha

How safe is zobo drink ? Iv been having severe cramps since i started taking it. 37weeks today

Lol the awkward walk starts at night for me and it increases when im pressed. Honestly i cant wait for feb

PraisesG:
@team February, anyone walking awkwardly like me?
As if the waist want to disintegrate.
How do one cope with bed rest at this stage,!
I'm going to start counting down.

Im sure all is well. Panic not. But to keep your mind at ease u can call your doctor

Rbae:
Hello mama's. We are 31weeks 3days.I've been hearing this gurgling and rumbling sound in my belly for the past 30mins. I just hope all is well. Google said its no cause for alarm but as a FTM, I worry too much. Pls, hope it's no problem.

Congrats mama

BA/BS
PRAISE THE LORD!!!! I WELCOMED MY PRINCESS ON THE 14th of January. After 5 miscarriages in three years of marriage. JEHOVAH Overdo proved himself.
BS
From the day i discovered i was pregnant the devil tried and tried but God came through. At 7 weeks i started bleeding, i was already on duphaston so we went for a scan, only to be told there was no fetal pole and since i was already bleeding there was a likelihood that it was another miscarriage. I wept and asked God why.. DH was so filled with faith. Two days later we went for another scan though i was still bleeding we found a fetal pole. At 9 weeks my cervix began to dilate. Another battle, i was no longer in my base in Jos. Luckily my Dr in jos referred me to a Prof in a private hospital in my new base who began monitoring me. He said it was abnormal to have a cerclage put in before 12 weeks but we would try all possible to keep this baby. So at 10 weeks we had a cerclage in place. Ms dealt with me, but we scaled. 2nd trimester came and everything went smoothly except for a wicked boss at the office who was stressing the hell out of me. At 26weeks my dr was worried that the pressure on the cervix was becoming too much so i took a long leave. And my Dr adviced me to opt for elcs so as to avoid any issues during delivery considering my medical history. Fast forward to 35 weeks i went for my routine check up and discovered that my Bp had shot so high. I was immediately checked the dr said if there was protein in my urine and the babys heart rate wasn't as expected he would deliver immediately. We did all the necessary tests and everything was fine he put me on some antihypertensive drugs and asked me to return in two days for more checks. When i came back in two days bp readings had doubled. He immediately asked that we perform the cs as soon as the baby hits 37 weeks. So on Sunday night i packed my bag and headed for the hospital. I was booked for 7am in the morning and at exactly 7.37am i heard the first cry of my baby. She's a beauty to behold. Am still in awe of God's faithfulness. My joy knows no bounds. Thank you to every mama who supported me with a word of encouragement in my down moments. My able cappo rabluk keep up the good work and my able teamies sorry I ported o. May God complete the work he has started for every pregnant woman. Amen. BS Submitted

Congratulations teamie, my love to your little one. I wish i could port sef *covers my eyes *

It gets harder by the day, i took a long walk yesterday and woke up this morning feeling like a trailer fell on me. Walking is getting more difficult. I think i need to get a leave of absence off work, cos its just so hard these days, but to the glory of God we are fine. There’s so much pressure in my ja jaina. It is well

Anuoluwapo2019:

I eventually went for the cervical cerclage on Sunday and it was done successfully.
Only for my water to burst yesterday night at about 8:30pm.
We rushed to the hospital and was told it had happened again!
My doc had to loosen the stitch and induced me ..
I was in labor since then till 11am tiday and my baby boy was brought out dead!!!!
My God, my Hubby's tears is killing killing me!
He is trying to be strong for me, but i can see it clearly that he is broken!!!!!!
Mamas, please pray for us!

Chanbaby:
BS. very long post Alert!!!!
Got pregnant when I was expecting and didn't know until 2months after cos I didn't have morning sickness. Was very upset with dh as if he raped me.
went to my Dr and she said i should see it as God's blessings cos with the kind of irregular cycle (50- 120days) i have its usually difficult to conceive. After then i started thanking God.
Fast forward to 32weeks, I went for my first Drs appointment in the US . my urine sample was taken and the sonographer did scan and said she wasn't going to say anything to me that my Dr will explain to me after, I became curious and i saw she wrote polyhydramnios(too much amniotic fluid). Then my Dr came and said he is very worried about me, that the sugar in my urine is too much and my amniotic fluid is too much (26cm). He then said i needed to come in the next day for my glucose test. I told him I drank plenty orange juice and ate 4slices of bread b4 coming so that would have influenced the result. i tried to reschedule to my next appointment he said i met to have done this test 2months ago in Najia so I'm already late. i went home that day and started drink lemon infused water to reduce the sugar level .
The result came out normal and after weeks of monitoring the amniotic fluid level it miraculously dropped to normal. it was my shiloh request.

My edd was 20th/24th of Dec, I was seriously expecting baby to come earlier since it wasn't my first. both dates passed i became uneasy. was taking long walks, climb stair case, doing exercises, ate 4 whole pineapple and drank raspberry leaf tea still no show instead Braxton Hicks became stronger. At 38weeks VE was done i was 1cm dilated i had hopes cos I started loosing mucus plug but without blood stain, at 39weeks 1 and half cm and membrane sweep was done. i began to get upset . I will cry and lament when dh calls that why is God doing me like this dh just kept encouraging me and praying for God to help me.
After the membrane sweep i was expectant still no show. went for 40weeks appointment still 1cm dilated and another membrane sweep was done. The Dr decided to induce me on the 31st of Dec but I got a call from them saying Induction will take place on the 3rd jan oh I was broken pelvic pain, pressure from baby I could barely walk. At 41weeks i went for another appointment and i was checked and it was 3cm. Dr did another membrane sweep this time it was so painful coupled with the pains around my pelvic. Dr said i want u to do it naturally I don't want to induce u. with that statement i cried to dh that even the Dr knows how painful induction can be. it was then my dh said don't worry u will use Epidural in a worse case scenario. the igbo in me did the conversion of the dollar cost to naira and decided to do without it.
oh God bless @Giddyperson she was a good birth partner, we kept encouraging ourselves all the way.

On the 2nd i read a post on instagram from a friend that said she didn't focus on her Edd but on Gdd (God's delivery date) she had her baby on the 3rd of January 2018 and her Edd was 28th Dec. My spirit just said this is the date.
I was given an antiseptic liquid to bath with 2days b4 the induction all in preparation for the induction , the paper work and questions scared me more(oyibo fit kill person all in the Name of preparing u).

The D-day came i went in for the induction the nurses started guessing and jesting how dilated I was. I was checked and it was 3cm and half. Enema was done to remove poop from my intestine. pitocin drip was administered at 11: 40am and i started feeling tightening in my stomach. she said its not contraction that when i started having contractions i won't be on that bed again she checked and asked if i was having pain I said no. she said she can see the contractions are 10-12mins apart and are pretty regular . After 2hrs she checked and i was 5cm she asked if i wanted Epidural i said no that I can't feel pain. By then the contractions were no 5-7mins apart. Asked of my Dr and they said he is on vacation but his assistant is around. She came in shortly and inserted something and broke my water. Then i started feeling normal menstrual cramps but bearable i just put my mantle on my stomach and was declaring cervix dilate and baby move down now in Jesus. After 2hrs I was checked and they said 7 -8cm and i can no longer take the epidural i was happy I saved that money . The contraction started coming back to back. They went and brought labor ball that I should come sit on it and roll my waist on it to help dilation. i did it for 2mins and went back to my bed cos I could manage the pain better there. Next thing i started feeling the urge to push. i started screaming call my Dr. they said my Dr was sitting outside waiting for everything to be ready. Then an older nurse came in obviously more experienced she checked and said 9cm and half and asked me to lay on my left side. i was still resisting when my friend in the labor room with me gave me eye and said i should cooperate with her that she seems very experienced. I just did and i started feeling my baby . Dr came in and i was asked to push i just pushed forceful twice screaming Jesus and baby came out at 8:54pm. i saw them giving her surgical blade but didn't know when she gave me a cut cos of the labor pain. They took the baby weighed him,the nurses and my friend screamed 10pounds 5ounces and i was like what is that in kg they said 4.6kg. my Drs eyes changed like she won't have allowed vaginal delivery if they knew. The placenta was delivered immediately and the stitching started not so painful though but took awhile. i started shivering uncontrollably other parts of my body was covered except my legs to enable her finish the stitching i started getting impatient cos of the cold and she said she is almost done that I had a 2nd degree tear. Another pitocin drip was administered for like 3hrs contractions continued but not as painful . i asked why they said to contract the uterus back since my baby was very big.
Then the devil wanted to show it ugly sef I felt blood pumping out of my system.i called the nurse she checked but wasn't sure if it was normal she called my Dr and she asked me to hold the 2sides of the bed and she pressed my stomach it was so painful that I grabbed her hands and she was like it's for ur own good so u have to bear unless u want to bleed to death. i said i will not bleed to death. my friend just said think of ur boys and bear. The pressing continued and i was told the pressing will be done every 15minutes. An injection was given i asked for what they said its is like a re-reinforcement for the pitocin . Omo the contraction increased so as to push out the blood so it doesn't gather in my uterus and help the uterus contract back. The stomach pressing time then reduce to every 30mins when they were sure I wasn't bleeding. i was finally moved to postpartum ward at 1am with the pitocin drip. I was given iron supplement and painkiller. It was quite and experience. But above all I think God of Oyedepo cos he was there.
Music helped me manage the contraction. i kept listening to Onise Iyanu by Nathaniel bassey (anointed musician) that has always been my labor room song. He has always showed me so much mercy .
Signing out till 2022- 2023.

Be submitted Holla. Gracias

joilin:
Went for antenatal yesterday Monday 39wks+ and after all the check the midwife said I have protein ++ in my urine, the color of the urine very dark and my feet are swollen but pb normal 110/70. She advised that I reduce salt intake which I don't even know how to do that, raise my feet and drink lots of water. Sabi mamas is there any other thing l should do cause I'm a bit worried. Hoping to deliver this baby soon

Almost 36 weeks and I feel im not ready yet. Just this evening i was picturing my princess in my arms, and im like so i will soon have her with me? Crazy thoughts kept creeping in, i just pray and hope i will be a good mother. I totally feel unprepared. Like how am i going to cope with work and her? Loads and loads of thoughts. Lord help me.

Parkiz:
BA/BS from an indebted peeper.
where do I even start from ?...

we welcomed my God's gift at Few minutes past 7am on the 3rd of January weighing 3.3kg with third degree tears.

I got married in early March 2018 n I had planned to wait till at least a month after wedding before trying to make baby/ies as pelsn musto enjoy, after all this years of waiting till wedding.

but as God would have it, I became restless almost immediately n started trying for baby, sure the society has a way of making people put themselves under pressure when it comes to issues like this.

I started feeling all these weird pregnancy related symptoms but urine and blood test came back negative. we were confused

last Last sha we tested positive on hpt we then proceeded to take an ultrasound n that was wen we saw our little princess breathing measuring 7 weeks .

at around 13-14 weeks Satan raised its ugly head n it all started with cramps n on the second day the cramps became worse at night. dh was so scared that he had to call his parents who then told us it was part of the deal. around 1am I felt a gush only to check n discovered that it was blood but a little lighter than normal .

I was scared to death n dh was shaking
.
the life of our 13 week old fetus was at stake. I couldn't cry, all I could to do was to recite all the Surahs of the Quran that I knew, thank God dh had just tot me surahtul krusi.

my husband went to our neighbors for help but there was non. thank God that our landlords place wasn't too far. hurriedly we set out n even in the mist of the chaos I still told my dh to hold on n let's recite surahtu Krusi.
we got to his house and told him we needed to go to the hospital. the man nice sha. he gave us his car key because he don old n can't drive at night. thank God dh can drive.

that was wen we discovered that we didn't take my hospital card with us so do had to go get it while I remained in the car.

I used the opportunity to talk to God. I reminded him about my past, how I fought my flesh so hard to keep myself till after marriage. I reminded him I never for once tot of abortion/ evacuation while unmarried(,I knew that was going to be the case if the baby wasn't viable) ,I reminded him of the little fisebilillah (alms giving) I used to do for His sake.
I spoke from within. I told him to Pls keep my baby. how the life of a 13 week old fetus could mean so much.

before we left home had used pad n took one more with me.

hubby came with the card n off we went, the landlord also decided to go with us.

I didn't stop my recitation n wen I even stopped for a while hubby told me to continue n we did it together.

wen we got to the hospital civil service, we were referred to general on the grounds that they were understaffed at that moment n in case there's a need for an evacuation.

I rejected it immediately the matron
mentioned evacuation.

wen got to general there was no light n no doctor was on ground. all these was around 2 am. the nurse on duty had to call a doctor on her mobile fone that it was a case of emergency.

wen he came he started to complain as to why she called him and not somebody else.

he sha took me in for ve. me no even send at all na so I quickly off paint oo. another doctor female came in b was so rude n mentioned something like fetus not viable
na so I reject am. imagine something Ure not sure of oo. people using bad mouth up n down n she too be female.

the male doc. cautioned her n asked her who told her that. he said he can't conclude n that first thing in the morning we should undertake an ultrasound.

I'd never been that scared in my entire life not even wen I was waiting for convocating list in school.
all through my husbands parents were already there with our landlord n of course hubby.

the doc injected me with something n I began to see double. I told them to get me my husband who was also at that time by the entrance of the waiting room panicking.

moments later while I was being led to the prenatal ward I felt a big clot drop n I felt the worst had happened. drip was
set up for me.

the next morning we left for ultrasound n to our delight

MY BABY WAS PERFECT WITH EVERYTHING INTACT.

I dont kuku like drugs, i will just do more of yoghurts and milk mbok. Thanks

[quote author=Amytosin post=74645724][/quote]

Biko dont stop eating o, just cut down on carbs and eat mostly vegetables and fruits. At 33weeks 6days my baby weighed 2.2kg . Im just eating healthy now

Naomi1990:
I went for my 32weeks scan on Tuesday and baby is measuring 2.5kg and my edd changed from March 4th to 25th Feb. I'm scared already is baby not too big for 2.5kg at 32wks? maybe I should just stop eating o...

I think thats how my hospital works, antenatal drugs are just strictly folic acid and fesolate. Calcium is not inclusive. Although i dont have joint pains . But I will find out during my next visit

PraisesG:
Some people react to calcium,so not included initially,but from late second trimester of pregnancy,it's added.
Do ask your doctor,if there's any reason you were not placed on it.

Okay, thank you, i will confirm first.

goodhairdiary:
I don't think it's compulsory you take it, except maybe you're experiencing joint pain
I didn't take it all tru my pregnancy and I was fine
Confirm from your doctor.

Awww , it is well, i think as the day draws closer it gets harder. The good lord that started this journey with us will see us through. One day at a time

rabluk:
Lucky u. Heard d calcium helps restore the one baby is using to grow its bones. It gets it from you, your bones. Not waddling too yet but since yesterday, movements have been a bit painful and more frequent. No mind oga, he's just too careful. But d muscle pulls hv been there from 1st trimester sef.

My hospital only gives me folic acid and fesolate, they never give me calcium. But i will get it as u have adviced. Thank you

missyblissy:
Please take the calcium pill ooo its for your own good ooo else you baby will take it from your bones. Ah please start taking it ASAP. Dont jokw with it and your baby needs it too.

Whistling and strolling past with my big belle

Towerofgrace:
