It's been long in here. I jumped, sorry if I missed your mentions or anything.

How are we all fairing? I'm sure morning sickness has given most of us space now.
What are we up to? Going to work? Baby shopping? Has anyone started antenatal yet?
What days do you go? Anyone in Abuja here? Let's connect.

I intend using national hospital as it was where I used for my first. I'm yet to register. My friend that registered fee weeks ago suffered because of the present corona, they had limited no of slots weekly, she went for like 4 weeks before she could be registered successfully. I'm still just looking jeje

I am fine just that body pain and head ache is showing me something daily. I haven't started shopping or antenatal yet, hoping to start soon.

Realdentist, biko how do I clean my toddler's tongue? It's always a tug of war. Even to clean teeth is wahala, I'm now seein yellowish deposit on one of his teeth. Wat do I use to get rid of it?

NB: I've used finger toothbrush, he bites my finger. I've used toddler's toothbrush, he will use his teeth to hold it. U can't clean his tongue. I've also tried using washcloth, e no work

my toddler of 17 months old doesnt want me to brush his teeth rather he want me to give him the brush so he can be chewing it and licking the pea sized toothpaste. wat i do is after i finish brushing,

i carry him on my legs and put the brush in his mouth and be brushing the tongue gently. if he uses his teeth to hold it i will gently ask him to open his mouth.

after i finish brushing his tongue i use washcloth to clean the teeth because anytime i use toothbrush on his teeth he is always crying as if the brush is injuring his gum. and u have to be patient also.

VEE992:
Mamas good morning oooo....pls is it that bad to be drinking cold water during your third trimester..I have heard so many stories on how bad it is ie it slows labour and makes baby too comfortable in the womb...I still can't wrap my mind around it,I love cold water

there is notin bad in drinking cold water, but dont drink too much.

anytime am pregnant and morning sickness start till i deliver i can no longer drink water that is not cold, even in the cold weather i drink cold water and it does not affect me or my baby. even do some poeple say cold water causes jaudince to the newborn child.

realdentist:
I take it her baby was born about 25-26 weeks? hope d child is doing OK? cc Mumjb

we exchanged contact, and wen i called her she said the child is doing fine.

Kittana:
Lol@babythug. In fact, I even want to know whether the beating and red eye she got, was really because she didn't buy anything.

Is it really typical of expectant mamas, to shop before 24weeks? Some things could be anything. I could have or buy some things and diapers or onesies, might not even be one of them. E nor reach wetin go make pikin hang for belle.

From hitting women in labour, to telling them they shouldn't have opened their legs to become preggers in the first instance, a lot of Naija medical personnels are truly plain silly.

the beating and the red eye she got was because she was closing her legs and didn't know how to push, and anytime the nurse hit the lady she will say God bless u ma.

babythug:


Congrats on the little one dear! It is well with you and yours...

i picked some things from your story!we certainly still have a loooonnnggg way to go in Nigeria with medical practice, somehow we also don't seem to have many nurses on this our thread maybe our experiences would have touched them into changing and upgrading their behaviour *rolls eyes* generally.

How can someone walk in with water broken and obviously having a preterm baby and the nurse/hospital will let her go home

Secondly you didn't mention the presence of any Drs during your delivery! What would have happened in an emergency? Dr was to come in early in the morning for a CS, Labour could suddenly progress faster now! Not throwing shades but there's a reason that nursing is different from a medical degree now.....Chai Nigerian medics should step up now

Thirdly look at the way she said baby was no more! Just like that? No tact nothing.

I had my first two children in Lagos and i'm grateful for the team that delivered them, they really were professional

God help us oh!

thanks mama
i didn't mention the presence of any doctor because there was no doctor there, i delivered in the nyt. the doctors in the hospital don't stay for nyt shift dey are only in the hospital in the day time and there was only one nurse and a cleaner in the labour room the nyt.

and when my hubby was complaining why should only one nurse be in the labour room because she delivered four women that night, the nurse said its not their fault it our govt who refused to employ more nurses/doctors so dey work the way they see it.

only God knows what will happen in case of an emergency . that's why most people in my area don't like govt hospitals, the nurses and doctors are not serious with their job. they have their own privates hospital and most times u will meet them there.

gud evening mamas .
how is the cold weather.

congratulations to all the new mom's in the aux, and welcome to all the newbies. Wish u a h and h nine months.

thanks mamas for all your mentions, Ameen to all your prayers.

@mumjb, thank God for the testimony.

thank u mama, i really tank God

iomoge2:
Mumjb God forbid.

yes o, God put the devil to shame

concluding part
i thank Allah for saving my life and that of my princess and for putting the devil to shame.
its good to start shopping early even do its one thing you buy at a time, the insult alone they gave to that student no b here o. so mamas immediately u have little money start shopping don't wait till close to edd before u start.
and also there is something like painless contraction you don't feel pain but u just feel the tightening. wishing all the waddling mamas safe and easy delivery.
sorry for my longgggg post.

Part three
i started praying, i was reciting the Quran off head i was reciting till i started getting confused i was missing some verses together but i continued reciting like that.
the nurse decided to give me one drip called nomacyline (not sure of spelling),after like 5 minutes she checked my baby's heartbeat and said she can feel it small small she then increased the flow of the drip. i continued praying the more even with all the choking of hand in my vjay i did not stop. it was when the nurse said i should start pushing that i stopped praying and my pain has increased but i could not shout.
i started pushing and the drip finished and the nurse asked somebody to bring ordinary water drip as she was waiting for the drip she was standing a foot away from my bed but i was still pushing and she asked me to put my bum bum down so as not to tear myself. initially i was afraid of tear because for my first i had two dip cut and the stitching was painful than labour itself. but at that moment tear was the least of my worries my own was that my baby should come out alive.
when i was still pushing and the nurse was still standing away from my table waiting for drip my baby's head came out and the nurse quickly came to hold the baby and the remaining body came out and my baby was alive but stressed and the placeta came immediately.
she did not cry they had to beat her feet her back before she started crying and tears of joy were coming out from my eyes and hubby was just thanking the nurse.

BABY AZMA came out at 9:40pm on the 23rd of august weighing 2.8kg without tear. i was cleaned and me and my baby was taken to the maternity ward.

you remembered the student that her water broke she came back with her sil, and they bought the delivery things they sell at the maternity ward. she delivered her baby girl at 11:30pm weighing 2kg with 3 dip cut and enough beating and blood gathered in her right eye due to the slap the nurse gave her. after the baby was born there was no clothes to wear the baby they don't sell clothes at the maternity ward, i gave them one of my baby's clothes and diaper to wear the child and they covered the baby with wrapper.

you also remember the woman i met at the labour room that wanted to try VBAC. she could not bear the pain, when it was time to push she was just shouting i cannot push o i want cs o and it was midnight so they had to call the doctor that there was an emergency so he can come very early in the morning. in the morning the doctor came and she was wheeled to the theater and the cs was successful. she gave birth to a boy, but she did not regain consciousness before i was discharged.

Part two
When i got to the hospital i was checked at 1pm and i was 4cm dilated, the nurse put an iv line on my hand. in the labour room i met a woman she wanted to try VBAC and the doctor came to check her and she was 4cm dilated also but she was already in serious pain. we were discussing together there if contraction comes she will start shouting and i will b telling her sorry after the contractions we will continue our discussion. but me i was not feeling pain. later the woman asked me shey we are 4cm dilated i told her yes and she said why is it that she is the only one shouting its as if there is notin wrong with me or is it not the same pain we are passing through i told her may be my own will soon increase.
Around 4pm another nurse came in and told me that they are going to insert a tablet into my vjay to fasten labour. and i was like what have u been waiting for since i came..
They inserted the tablet and asked me to go to the main labour room because i will soon deliver so i left the other woman there and went to the labour room. i called my mum to bring food for me and she brought rice for me i was asked to lie on my side i could not eat myself hubby was the one feeding me. the nurse for night duty came to check me and she said i will soon deliver but i was feeling painless contractions.
Around after seven a pregnant lady came to the labour room that she was seen water and the nurse checked her the nurse said that she was in labour and her baby was ready to come outside but her edd is December and she said she was 6 months pregnant and also a student. the nurse asked her to go and bring her hospital bag but she said she has not bought anything, she has not even done any scan and it was even last week she registered for anc. so the nurse asked her to go and call her relatives she went home.
To eight i started feeling little pain and the nurse came to check me and said i was 10cm dilated, she decided to break my water,after breaking the water she checked my babys heartbeat and she shouted. she said she did not hear anything she called my hubby and she checked again so she told my hubby that my baby was already dead that she did not hear the heartbeat. i was already crying and my hubby was asking the nurse the next step and she said we are going to deliver the baby but its going to be hard since the baby is no longer moving. that that is why my labour stopped progressing since that i was supposed to have deliver since.
