mzMerci:
I’m one week away from third trimester and all my first trimester symptoms are crawling in. I feel so worn out, I’ve been vomiting, everything now smells disgusting, I have itchy, peppery heat rashes all over, I’m always sweating and I feel sick in the evenings just like my first trimester. Make my baby just resemble me. Pregnancy is a very under rated topic aswear. Our mothers are goddesses.

So sorry, its common for the symptoms to come back, try and cope, u did it before u can do it again

miracletoday:

The world is full of wickedness.but seriously how many of our husbands know what a placenta and woman birth discharges should look like? What if they wrap just animal intestine.may devilish people stay away from our path

I'm a FTM, if he knows its placenta, what will he do with it, won't be give it back to them?

If u are sure its malaria, use mosquito net, those ones u can hang on d ceiling

Abaksbaby:
Congratulations to all those who have put to bed. It’s been amazing reading the BAs and BSs, more to come in Jesus Name.

June mummies, I hope everyone is doing well. It will surely end in praise.

I have been MIA for a while, just catching up on the thread.

Please I have a question oh. According to Google, I am just entering 3rd trimester (I am 27 weeks and a few days). Is it possible for morning sickness to come back this late in the pregnancy. It’s more of all day sickness, nausea, weakness, headaches and tiredness. I didn’t even have nausea this bad in my first trimester. Shouldn’t all these symptoms have gone?

My sister felt same in her pregnancy, in her third trimester she started vomiting, feeling weak and all that, las las she was fine after delivery.

U will be fine

Happy birthday sir

Pls don't hide again

Layormiii:

My BS!!!


Sorry capo I have been trying to recover from my procedure

I attended two clinics for my antenatal
They both recommended cs due to blood pressure issues

Was admitted in December due to threatened pre eclampsia so I was a advised not to go d vaginal route for safety of my baby Nd I

I got to d hospital a day before d procedure
Was admitted Nd told not to take any food from 9pm


When I woke up in d morning I was very emotional knowing I was hours away from meeting my son

While I was praying I shed some tears all I could hear my self say was “LORD YOUR WITH ME ...ANYTIME ANYDAY”

D nurses prepared me, attached my catheter, I already shaved but they shaved me again thoroughly

I was taken to d theatre waiting for my iv to be infused

So there I was waiting on a que we were like 19

Oh yes I used a central hospital


So am like no 8

So I sat there one by one the women were infused walk in Nd rolled out with their new born and am like wow! Just like that?


The anesthesiologists called my name Nd I moved to her she taught me how to bend for my spinal anesthesia

She also warned me not to move or raise my head until head hours after d procedure to avoid post op headaches and I obliged


So it was my turn I was rolled in

All I felt was touch, pull, stretch

NO PAINS

It was all okay until I was told to raise my legs Nd i cudnt in less than some minutes I heard my baby cry

I turned to my left Nd saw d nurses cleaning him

Weighed him

He was covered in lanugo screening away

Omoh I cried

I was awake all through only cudnt feel my legs from down , d anesthesiologists kept me engaged she said I was doing well for a first timer Nd my blood pressure was under control on her monitor

When they were done they moved me from d Operating bed to d roller bed and moved me to my suite

Before then my baby had been handed over to my elder sister and husband

She had placed a call to mumsi that I had put to bed Nd my mum not believing her rushed Nd called my husband to confirm

Hahahahaha poor woman I told her I was going for my antenatal normerly that Wednesday so she had no clue


When they rolled me out all my sis Kong’s were there dancing singing
I saw my husband my mum I was just smiling I wanted to dance with them but d experts had told me not to raise my head Nd I wasn’t ready for headaches


I was rolled to my room Nd I was discharged yesterday

Recovery form cs is quite challenging
But with a good listener doctor Nd pain meds administered at d right time for doses is very very manageable

Am plus size Nd have a hanging tummy that somewhat covers my incision site but I try to keep d place dry Nd clean with swab

Am better now and I am home

Tommorow is his naming ceremony

Safe delivery to d rest mamas

Congratulations to those who have birthed their los

Team March SIGNING OUT

I knew you would do well, we told u

Congratulations once again�

Ewaifeoluwa:
My birth story
Naming was yesterday so l said l must submit my bs today, baby is sleeping so its an opportunity to do that before he wakes up to breastfeed.
My pregnancy period wasn't stressful unlike my previous. I didn't have any morning sickness for the first three months though l wasn't really good too cos l had series of diarrhoea, it was even the diarrhea that prompted me to do a PT, my previous pregnancies, l must treat malaria and even typhoid during the first trimester.
fast forward to second trimester, l came down with malaria, treated it but it refused to go, l still continued with another series of treatment along with injections, used lonart DS when l was 35 weeks gone, despite all that, till l gave birth, they kept on seeing scanty growth of malarial parasite so l decided not to treat it again and just manage myself till l deliver
Delivery day
I was hoping to deliver at 38 weeks, l was induced for my previous pregnancy so this time around, l wanted to fall into labour naturally, kept on praying and hoping it would be so, so on this day, l woke up at midnight cos l felt mild cramping, very very mild but noticeable, l thought its braxton hicks contractions so didn't give it a bother, but it kept on going n coming, woke my husband up to inform him but himself didn't understand then l timed it n l noticed its every 10 minutes but l didn't know they were contractions, my spirit just told me to get up to pack my hospital bag cos l had not packed anything, was just lazy about it and didn't even expect labour to come this soon cos Edd was march 25th, l had buy most of the things just left with few, l finished packing and went back to sleep but sleep refused to come again, l kukuma went on social media to keep myself busy till daybreak.
When my husband was leaving, l followed him so he can drop me at his parents place cos l don't know how to drive and didn't know what to expect, l put the bags in his car n told him to carry it to work, my older baby was at his grandparents place, l wanted to see him incase l would be admitted that day so l won't miss him too much, l then decided l will be the one to take him to school that very morning, he was so clingy , l took him to school then went out to buy the remaining things l might need for delivery.
By the time l was through, l went to the hospital, this was around 1pm already,l intentionally went in late so as to avoid lying down on the bed and all those their scary VE too and that if it is labour truly, with all this wakawaka that l did, it will help speed it up, l told the nurses what l have been feeling o, still d same on n off mild cramping, then l was referred to the dr to check me, she placed her hands on my tummy so as to feel if its contractions then she felt them and said l am contracting already, l was like just like that, she then did VE and said l was 3cm dilated n then sent me for scan just to confirm my baby is in cephalic position, when l was through, l was told to follow another nurse to be admitted upstairs, she wanted to call one of d securities to wheel me but l told her l can walk, l wanted to use that exercise to speed up the dilation n l think it helped cos by the time l was checked upstairs, l was 6cm gone already.
At this point, the matron ruptured the membrane n just small water came out then they questioned me if l have been seeing water small small, l said no o. If such had happened l would know cos l hardly wear panties again sef so if any water had dripped down my leg, l would have noticed
Was then wheeled down to the labour room and then the contractions became stronger, later the matron said the contractions weren't strong enough n also not coming back to back maybe cos l wasn't really shouting so she augmented the labour, l told her not to that l am contracting well but this people no get patience kankan, she sha injected oxytocin into my drip o and that was when the drama started o, l was shouting, my husband was allowed in at a time cos l kept asking for him like when l see him, d whole pain will disappear, l laugh sha, l told him to rub my back but it still didn't help o, d pains no be for here,at a point l removed the drip myself twice when the pain was becoming unbearable. hubby received a call n stepped out then another VE was done n l was told l am now at 8cm, not up to 15 mins after then, l felt my baby pushing to come out already, l was trying to stop myself from pushing cos l didn't want any vaginal tear but l couldn't really restrain it tho l still kept on resisting the urge, d matron saw my reaction cos l couldn't even open my mouth to tell them baby is already forcing his way out o, don't even know what held my tongue then but they noticed themselves and quickly put on the elbow length glove so as to guide the head out, l then pushed with the next two contractions n baby's head came out,then l stopped pushing so they can guide the shoulder out themselves, baby came out at 3:51pm with a very short cord o, they couldn't even put him on my chest cos of the short cord, l give glory to God cos l had no tear, l am super scared of the aftermath of a tear or episiotomy sef, d healing process is another stress so l have been praying not to have any tear on dd.
baby came at 37 weeks, 3 days
safe delivery to the rest of us
BS submitted o cappo......once in a while, l will come here to check on us, l have hang my boot for now, bye

Wow, wow and wow

We give God the glory

MorningStar233:
Good morning mamas, please I need help and inputs on this issue bordering me seriously, a very close relative of mine has had some miscarriages and then Didi fibroid surgery around 2020, since after the fibroid no single pregnancy has come, I feel so bad that sometimes I wish this my pregnancy was given to them... And the painful part is I can't make suggestions for them due to fear of " Is it because she's pregnant? I told a pastor I trust and whom God has bn using in my life and he said I should tell her to call him but fear no gree me..truth is I'm not happy at all.

If u can't tell her directly, take her to church invite her from there she can see the pastor

Hello mamas in the house.

1. Please I'll like to ask. When is it advisable for one to stop working.

I'm presently 35weeks.

I still feel very fine. Tho slight backaches, stomach tightening and all that. But really mild. nothing serious.

I asked my doctor in 33weeks appointment he didn't give a definite answer.

Hubby is advising I stop by 37 weeks but I don't like to be at home without working(I enjoyed working)

What's the advice please?

2. Secondly the last scan I did was at 13weeks. I haven't been asked to do any other scan. I Brough it up with my friend who is also pregnant. And she said she has done a couple of scans...please is this normal?

Experienced mamas come and answer the questions o

shutupareyouGOD:
Okay….lemme me write my bs now that I’m fine…I almost went into postpartum depression with the cs guilt I initially talked about but we thank God…I’m fine now.

So I got married Jan 2021 and ttc for 6 months….I was the only one TTC’ing cuz DH was of the opinion that we live just us for a yr at least, basically enjoy being married before having kids but I’ve always wanted children even while we were dating so this 6 months was really daunting for me…..thankfully, God did it and we conceived June(lemme plug in the peoples doctor on ig…cuz she helped figure out I wasn’t ovulating and gave me medication that helped,I did hsg,countless tests and triggered with hcg ….etc)….and the journey started….very smooth…I had zero symptoms asides first trimester vomiting and some food aversions …asides that I was strong enough to work till the last week of February….I put to birth on 3rd of March… I took my prenatals for the first 12 weeks after that I stuck to fruits and healthy diet….thank God it turned out fine…
So on the 3 rd of March at about 2.15am my water broke….I was awake as I’ve been having insomnia during the 3rd trimester and I woke hubby to see….most of the water was clear but there was traces of blood….we decided to wait till 5am to get to the hospital…I was already having contractions but it was mild….as soon as we got to the hospital the contractions was times 3…was very intense….the nurse checked me and said I was 8 cm dilated at about 9am…..which was pretty fast……(which was why I felt guilty,like I could have pushed my baby out)…..but at this point I lost it and I don’t understand how it all happened but like someone said here….I have come to realize that certain things I do not understand is divine intervention…
Imagine me being told I was 8cm dilated…I started screaming cs…..hubby was by my side and I insisted on cs…the nurse was angry saying I have done more than 50percent of the work…imagine I have been bearing contractions since 2am and now it was 9am and I was close to being fully dilated and I was screaming cs….I still don’t understand it guys but I insisted on cs and DH said if that’s what I really want he would support me….so I proceeded to have my baby via cs at about 10am and he came out weighing 3.2 kg and didn’t cry till they removed the meconium he ingested…..I thank God recovery was smooth and I was discharged 3days later……Now I look at my baby and I can’t be more grateful to God for everything he has done…Cappo @. Kokaiye bs submitted

I dey dance for here o

We thank God oooo

BA/BS

Our long-awaited precious victorious baby boy arrived through elective CS weighing 3.5Kg @ 37 weeks

Edd: 25th March
DOB: 4th March

BS:
After several miscarriages and medical conditions of over 10 years, I was confirmed pregnant around June last year.

Due to previous Pregnancy issues, a cervical cerclage was placed @13weeks. 1st trimester was the most challenging with different issues ranging from lack of appetite, moderate hyperemesis gravidarum, spotting at 6weeks and was placed on progesterone support for four ( 4) months with adequate bedrest.

Second trimester and most of the 3rd trimester period was very smooth not until I decided to be a super woman by bending excessively when doing a house chore even though I was advised against doing any form of house chore. This led to spotting at 36weeks.

The doctors were ready to do an emergency CS but by God's mercy, the scan report showed that the spotting was from the cerclage and baby is okay. The doctors had to take caution, being that the baby is a precious baby, by shifting the date of my elective CS from 15th of March to 4th of March.

My baby boy was delivered on the 4th of March at about 12:30 pm, weighing 3.5Kg. I am still recovering by God's Grace, even though we were discharged 5ldays ago, baby was re-admitted due to jaundice and he is currently on phototherapy ( Pls pray for his quick recovery).

Wishing all pregnant mamas a safe delivery in Jesus name. Thank you all for your support during this journey, you are a family indeed!
