@ekeminiabasi; iomoge2 and Zaynie said it all. For peace to reign, let dh write whatever he wishes on BC but call d child by the name u prefer. it is likely d child will pick it later in life cos u ll be closer to him and ll be calling him by dat name most often.

@Godmother; I take God beg u. Exercise a little more patience. An induced baby is likely to ve respiratory issue if not up to 39 wks or else d baby feels its lung is matured enof and wants to come out on its own. Breathing problem after birth is not your wish for ur lo. For its sake tarry small. when the pain is much and u feel so heavy down your pelvics, just waka like "agadi nwanyi". God is ur strength.

@feddy27 and sugarbaby: Congrats on the birth of your lo. I feel so happy for all my teamies that ve dropped.
May God almighty see the rest of us through ijn.. amen

@-Lilybestie-- well done teamie for that BS. God is indeed great.Full of surprises for us all the time.

Good morning beautiful mama's
@feddy27, my cappo, I hail you ma. My ranting this morning is that I barely get enough sleep because of too much urinating. I thought waddling mamas are expected to get enough sleep while preggy since they might not be able to do so during vigilante but mine seems impossible coupled with my work. I take water like every 20 to 30 minutes whether in the middle of the night or day because I normally feel dehydrated and I always have the urge to wee that often. in fact the matter tire me. And if I decide not to take water to reduce my visiting the toilet, I will start feeling like fainting. Biko experienced mama's, does any of you experience the same thing or have any advice for me?.... Team October for painless and stressless deliveries

Same with me ooh! No diff at al

peggygee:
I lost my baby. Pls pray for me, I'm in serious pains, labor for 3days to bring him out (still birth)

Take heart dear. Plz find solance in God.

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO TEAM OCTOBER

How is everyone doing?

Here are some tips to make this third trimester pretty easy for us.

Adapting to Pregnancy: Third Trimester
Although common during pregnancy, some discomforts may seem worse in the final weeks. Simple lifestyle changes can help. Take care of yourself and ask your partner to help out with small tasks.

Limiting leg problems
Ways to combat leg issues:
• Wear support hose all day.
• Avoid snug shoes and clothes that bind, like tight pants and socks with elastic tops.
• Sit with your feet and legs raised often.

Caring for your breasts
Tips to follow include:
• Wash with plain water. Avoid using harsh soaps or rubbing alcohol. They may cause dryness.
• Wear a nursing bra for extra support. It can also hide any leaks from your nipples.

Controlling hemorrhoids
Ways to avoid hemorrhoids include:
• Eat foods that are high in fiber. Also, exercise and drink enough fluids. This will reduce constipation and hemorrhoids.
• Sleep and nap on your side. This limits pressure on the veins of your rectum.
• Try not to stand or sit for long periods.

Controlling back pain
As your body changes during pregnancy, your back must work in new ways. Back pain is due to many causes. Physical changes in your body can strain your back and its supporting muscles. Also, hormones (chemicals that carry messages throughout the body) increase during pregnancy. This can affect how your muscles and joints work together. All of these changes can lead to pain. Pain may be felt in the upper or lower back. Pain is also common in the pelvis. Some pregnant women have sciatica. This is pain caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve running down the back of the leg. Ask your healthcare provider for specific tips and exercises to help control your back pain.

Tips to help you rest
Good rest and sleep will help you feel better. Here are some ideas:
• Ask your partner to massage your shoulders, neck, or back.
• Limit the errands you do each day.
• Lie down in the afternoon or after work for a few minutes.
• Take a warm bath before you go to sleep.
• Drink warm milk or teas without caffeine.
• Avoid coffee, black tea, and cola.

Stopping heartburn
Avoid spicy or acidic foods. Eat small amounts more often. Eat slowly. Wait 2 hours after eating before lying down. Sleep with your upper body raised 6 inches.

Managing mood swings
Ways to manage mood swings include:
• Know that mood changes are normal.
• Exercise often, but get plenty of rest.
• Address any concerns and limit stress. Talking to your partner, other women, or your healthcare provider may help.

Dealing with urinary frequency
Tips to deal with having to urinate often include:
• Drink plenty of water all day. If you drink a lot in the evening, though, you may have to get up more in the night.
• Limit coffee, black tea, and cola.

Happy reading and enjoy your weekend !

@Tallgirlslim - thanks so much


Summary of my vote
For CS - (6) votes against (1)

realdentist:
is there any particular reason for the doc recommending CS? that reason sounds very vague to me. hv u done a myomectomy before? any gynae surgeries? small pelvis? fibroids interfering with birth canal? any solid reason?

No, there is no other reason dear. Just that it took us a long tym to conceive. That all.

@ all sabi mummies; #teamoctober#; plz help me on my present predicament.

I ttced for 9yrs+, DH is the first and only son out of 5women and i thank God who eventually transfered me to this thread. Am most greatful to God almighty.
Am due by Oct. (Edd 17th) but my Dr that i ve been receiving her medication for the past 20 months is suggesting seriously that I go elective CS cos of all we went through to get to this point. There ve not been any complication of any kind since I took in and several scans I did shows baby is very fine and cephatically presented. I am thinking i shld try VD before any other option but right now am so confused. Note: am 37yrs.

Plz I need candid advice from my e-family. Don't mince words, jst tell me your mind d way it is. D highest opinion I ll take as my final decision. Dh says anyone I want we ll go for it.

@britneystacy; hmmm, what a pathetic BS. Its good you told us just as it is so we will expect the worst knowing we will come out victorious at last.
Congrats once more. May God keep you and ur lo.....

[quote author=funmz post=49156652]Alert! Alert!! Alert!!! GOD has smiled on me. I'm a mother to a healthy baby boy born at 37 weeks weighing exactly 3kg, yesterday 6th of September.

bussy2rhymes:
Good evening moms in the house, i just stumbled on this thread few days ago. its been very educative. I will like to join o. I am team October. Thanks

Welcome teamie...

AlphaHandMaiden:
Ha! Abeg i no know book reach like that oh. Na my small knowlegde i just they share if i know or have an idea that may work....


For the stretchmark, cocoabutter is actually better tha ori. All through my pregnanacy i mixed my own belly butter and i didnt have one stretch mark. After birth i noticed one tiny bit at the the side of my waist.

So here goes: mix equal quantities of
shea butter
Cocoa butter (nor palmers oh, the raw cocoa butter)
Coconut oil.

This is the basic combo!

To give it added potency of "voltron blazing sword" If you can,get these ingredients
A few drops of:
Neroli essential oil
Helicrysum essential oil.

( with the price of these oils dont worry, you will use only only a few)

This worked for me : rub on belly and breast, at least twice a day!

Thanks a lot. I can see by they call u genius.

@hormobollar
Congratulation dear. Indeed God is great.


@liftedhands
Thanks for the prompt reply

Plz sabi mummies, am a FTM and 33wks down. Shld i start now to apply shear butter or bio oil to my big bumb which have almost map of the word as stretch mark on it.

Congrats dear. Thank God forvyou[b][/b]

Birth alert,gave birth to a baby boy thru elective cs.weighing 4kg ,but scan told me 2,9.wish all mother's safe delivery.

kotias003:
My Birth Story.

In the evening of Thursday, 11 August I notice traces of blood on the tissue after every urine.
I run to the thread to ask, mamas Liftedhands, Fortius and Callola reply and say it's early labour. GHEN GHEN!

Friday, 12 August I go first to the market to get nursing bras and then to work, what I feel is menstral like cramps.
At the end of the day, I go to bed at about 9pm, past 9.
At past 10pm to 11, menstrual like cramps gets intense. Keeps waking me.
It relieves me, I sleep back, it comes back again. On and off. Pain steadily increases.
At past 2am my groanings finally wakes DH, who suggests we head to the hospital.
"At midnight??! I'm not going, what if it is false labour? Everyone would make fun of me, first timer things", he keeps insisting until I finally agree to leave the house when it 4:30am.

Meanwhile I tell DH to put please put on the generator, I tidy my cloths, have my bathe and then watched TV for a bit.
At a few minutes to 5am, we leave home.

HOSPITAL
Arrive hospital at 5:05am.
Nurse does VE, says I'm 3cm dilated (I was hoping I'd be like 9/10 cm already, I was disappointed).
Doctor comes in, says I'm not acting like I'm in labor and I can't possibly be 3cm goes, he does VE again and I'm now 5cm gone (he doesn't tell me this)
I then ask if they are sure my baby would arrive that day, if not they should let me go back home. And they are like "you are in labour now, your baby is definitely arriving today" . OKAY!

I remain in the labour room with DH, pain continues to progress. And I'm like, "SO THIS IS LABOUR!"
At past 10am doctor comes in, ruptures membrane. The act in itself, painless but afterwards... O'boy and I thought I was in labour ealier!!
I'm then told "if you feel like pooing or pushing let us know". DH kept asking me over and over if I was feeling either. Nah.
Meanwhile I had no idea what "push" feeling was like. Why would I feel like pushing? The baby has been in my tummy since nah.
All this time, even with the strongest of contractions I wasn't shouting or screaming, I'd open my mouth like in a scream but no sounds. I kept saying "oko mi", "temi", "I can't do this", and DH would always answer back "you can do it". Lol. Oya na, coman do it for me!

So eventually I felt the "to push" feeling, "I want to push o, I want to push o".

DELIVERY ROOM
With every ANC I had asked my doctor if DH could stay with me, he said no problem, and then he says differently now. Ehen, my husband whose hands I've been holding since 5am (I had squeezed the life out of both hands. It's either I was squeezing his hands or begging him to squeeze my hands tight. Tighter! Tighter!) and so in my pains I'd to insist on DH staying with me.

I had no idea how to push. Doctor explained.
The push started, all that was coming out was poo. Lol.
I can't stop wondering now if DH is still sexually attracted to me after all he must have seen.
First thing he askes when he's eventually able to talk to me is "are you sure we are having more children?"
Eventually I got it right but I was exhausted. At this point, I'm already thinking "cut the crap, this baby can't come out of a vagina, I'm thinking of the other openings in my body, mouth, ears, what are the options of the doctor trying to birth the baby from one of these. Or should I ask for CS now? I was exhausted! I wasn't sure all the pain was worth it anymore. I just wanted it to be over.
And then the doctor says he can see the baby's head, askes DH if he could see it too.
That's perhaps what I needed. Hope. And then there were two more pushes!!

So at 40 weeks 5 days, at exactly 12:47pm on the 13th of August, 2016 my boss boyfriend, ObabiOlorunkosi arrives weighing 3.35kg.
Hallelujah!!!

ADDENDUM
The relief!!!!!! Inexplicable. Indescribable.

I had an episiotomy however, the doctor tried to hide the cut under a strong contraction but taaah! I felt it clear and sharp.
After my son was birthed and the site had to be stitched, ehen! that's when I shouted down the roof. That's when the whole hospital must have known someone was in labour. The pain is not here! I wasn't prepared for it.
I had readied my mind for labour pain but not epi or stitch back pains, cause I had prayed and prayed to God, no tears no epi (however God's ways are not my ways)

Motherhood hasn't been easy. It's taken me 12 days to come back with my BS.
Meanwhile house, my baby has refused to latch on to breasts even though I have begun to lactate. So we are on BMS, expressing breastmilk, cup and spoon. I need help and advice. Thank you.

So dear mamas, that is how I spent my 13th August 2016!

Cc: Capo BritneyStacy, BS submitted at last.

Congrats dear. Glory to God for the end story.
Happy delivery to the crest of august mothers.
