Please its urgent ma
Hi ma, you can boil in the morning and also warm in the evening and drink. The remaining one you can boil the next day. That is how I used mine. If it is much, put it inside those #100 sack bag, it will last up to 4days.
Always drink with milk too.

BS! BS,! BS!

This pregnancy was so different from my first, I throw up everyday and Everytime I brush my teeth. I couldn't tolerate any smell or aroma, all I wanted was a clean fresh air. I couldn't do anything, the only thing I managed to do is bathe my Son to reduce the workload on hubby, he cleans, cooks and did Laundry, chaii it wasn't easy. We had to result to having a cleaner come twice in a week to do the cleaning. I couldn't eat too, I became so lean and weak.

2nd trimester came and my energy was back, I resumed back to my cooking and washing but still let the cleaner do the cleaning. I became a foodie, eating everything eatable, my favorite was Calabar kitchen food.

3rd trimester: still had energy but pelvic pain and vagina heaviness started, despite the pain I was still very active.
I stopped going to site at work around 34 weeks.

My consultant at the clinic told me that of baby doesn't come before EDD then I'd be induced cos I must not pass my EDD due to my rhesus factor, I did indirect coomb test every month till I gave birth.
My bags were packed around mid August, at 37 weeks, I went to the big market in our axis, Ile-Epo, the place is like Mile 12, I went to stock up my house with food and my son's school needs, I was in the market with my colleague when my leg got stuck, like a muscle pull at the upper part of my thigh, I was given a chair to sit, hubby kept calling and complaining that he warned me not to go. It rained heavily that Saturday, I had to chatter a tricycle to take me home with my load.

My antenatal day was on Monday, a day to our 38weeks, I usually take food to antenatal cos I couldn't tolerate other foods aside the one I cooked myself, on this particular day, I forgot my food at home, I told the bike man to take me back cos we've gone a bit far and he refused, he said he can't go back, I abused him till we departed. I couldn't eat the egg-roll I bought cos it was soaked of oil.
I saw the doctor and I told him about the muscle pull and vagina ache. He told me to be prepared that baby might come anytime soon.
I got home and ate the food I left in the morning, my co-wife came visiting and my colleague brought what I forgot in her house the day we went to the market.
I saw my colleague off and told her I need to start taking my exercise serious.

My co-wife left around 6pm and I insisted that we walk cos I want to exercise my body, we walked a long distance and hubby called to tell me to take bike when I am coming back. I parted ways with my co-wife and started walking home, contractions started on the way with my co-wife but I didn't know it was contractions, my tummy would become so tight and I'd have to slow down or stop walking.
When I was trekking back home alone, I had few tummy tightening, I had to walk very slow in our street and was pressing my phone so no one would notice. I got home around 7pm, then the painful contraction started, I knew this was different from what I had been feeling cos it's painful, the previous ones were made me uncomfortable but was painless.

Hubby went to the other room and brought out my bags, I laughed at him and said it's not time o, they will just chase us back home at the hospital, then the contractions became frequent. I was confused cos my water broke before contractions started for my first child.
I quickly called mama Zaynie (JazakumLlahu khyran ma) and explained to her, she told me it might be the real contractions as her water doesn't break too before contractions.
I launched the contraction timer on my phone and sent a screenshot to Zaynie, she ask me to start heading to the hospital. This was around 8pm, hubby called our Uber guy and he said he was stuck in traffic at ikeja.
I stood up to change my clothes, I wore the gown and I felt a gush of warm water down on my body, the contractions became so painful that I'd kneel and rub my face on the bed when it hits me.

There's no car available to take me, I had to quickly call a colleague of mine who stays not too far to us, we were already at the gate when he came. I was dripping water seriously, i had to grab my towel and tie on my cloth.

We got to the hospital around 8.40pm, the nurse checked my BP and it was high, contraction hit again and I hugged the nurse so tight, I was taken to the delivery room immediately, they set my line and I felt an urge to poo, I told the matron that I feel like pooing and she said I should go ahead, I pooed and felt better a bit, they injected something into the drip they gave me and the urge to push came, I was asked to push with the urge and my sweet baby slide out, weighing 2.6kg at 9:10pm.
Baby came out and my OS closed immediately with placenta still inside, the doctor came and was told my OS has closed, they injected oxytocin into the drip and the OS opened, the placenta came out. Hubby was informed that I've given birth, I was cleaned up and taken to the post natal ward, we were discharged on Wednesday afternoon and was asked to come back on Friday to see the pediatrician.

We saw the pediatrician and I was told my DD has Jaundice and it's quite much, the doctor said he'd be admitting us, I told my in-law who went with me and she said we shouldn't stay for admission as there are herbs we can use, I was so confused and worried. I foolishly left the hospital declining the admission.

I took my Daughter back to the hospital this past Monday as I couldn't see the difference, her eyes were yellowish in colour. The doctor was so mad at me and he said he's referring us to Massey hospital as there's no bed space in Igando General Hospital, I quickly called hubby to come over, I cried so much.

I went to meet the matron who is in charge of antenatal and explained myself to her, she abused me very well and followed me to the paediatric ward, she went to the Neonatal unit and was told they will be discharging some babies that day, she secured a bedspace for us.
My baby's PCV was low, the doctor said she's pale.

Alhamdulillah, We were discharged yesterday evening, we got home around 8pm, those 5 days in NNU wasn't easy for me, I couldn't stop blaming myself, I cried so much.

May Almighty God make it easy for all pregnancy mamas, there shall be no loss Bi'dnillah
I pray for the GTC mamas, your testimony is near.



Awwwwn mama, I thank God your baby is fine now. Pls stop blaming yourself. Congrats

Part 2
Labour and delivery

I know it was going to be induction like others but I wanted to experience natural labour for the first time.  I was hoping but it is not happening.  Wednesday 15th,i was 39wks 3 days, I returned from market, as if I knew what was about to happen, I shopped for provisions both the one I will use in the hospital and also back to school items for my kids. When I returned I went to pee after that as I was coming out I felt a small gush of water. I check it was not urine. Since my water has broke before, I know it is my water. It happened again this time with some mucus.

It did not happen again but I was restless and cranky. I bathed and went to bed. I woke up by 1am, I was pressing my phone when I felt the water again. I jumped up from the bed. What I noticed is that if I am sitting down it will stop but when I stand up or lie down it will start coming out. But in my first baby the whole water came out once and I was induced. So I put a pad and kept changing it.

By 4am I told my mom. She has fully recovered and walking without aid. I start packing my bags. I called DH and mom in law too. By 8am I drove myself to the hospital. The person that is supposed to come with me said she will meet me in the hospital. I was check and the doctor said 2cm, cervix is still strong or whatever. I was not even feeling any pain or having contraction. So he put a drug under my tongue and said I should go and lie down. This was by 9am.

I went and sit down and was waiting for contraction to start. I didn't eat that morning. 9.30am no pain yet, I was restless, all my inductions the contraction usually start after 30mins. I lie down and slept off. Then some minutes before 10am, I woke up to some pain and I was happy. I start timing it, it was 3 to 4 mins apart. It is not that strong cos I am still lying down. By 10.30am I was tired of timing. I was also chatting with people in my room. I was complaining that this contraction is not strong, that other ones by now it is strong and bla bla bla. I was fearing that it will be a long labour, since other ones was 4 to 5hrs.

I went to poop, it was watery. I felt the urge again, very small something came out since I did not eat. A nurse came in and was saying that I am still wearing my clothes and jewelleries, that it has not even start, she thought it was my first. I was also face timing with DH. Then I felt the urge to poo again I went nothing came out. This was by 12.30pm. It was after that, the real contraction was starting. I told the nurse that I want to go and buy water, she collected the money and bought for me. After drinking, I changed my cloth to wrapper and move to the delivery room. The nurse was like this is getting serious. The other nurse now told her it is not my first, she was suprise cos it is not showing on my body.

They went to call the doctor to come and check me, I was having  back to back contractions with like 20secs break. Tears was flowing like river but I was trying not to shout.
The doctor came, check and said 6cm. He said I was progressing that before 3pm I will born, this was by 12.55pm. He left. The nurse said he is usually like that, she said my type are those that use to give birth fast, that with this my type of contractions she did not want to be unprepared. She started arranging my things. They were trying to pass line in my hand but the contraction was coming stronger, three back to back contractions with few secs of break. They managed to pass the line in my hand, immediately they put the needle, I felt a very strong urge to push, the nurse I was holding, I squeezed her hand hard and she screamed.

They rushed and spread delivery mat, she told me that I should push with my next urge. The first time I will be pushing, my other babies rushout themselves which give me tear. The urge came I pushed but before the head will crown it stopped. It is not as strong as before and it is now once and no longer back to back. Ha. Another one came, it is stiil the same. I was waiting for another one for almost one minute, the head was there waiting to crown, I started crying that I am not having any contraction or urge again. They assured me that it will come that I should use the moment and catch my breath and be ready to push. In my mind I said OK, since it is like that, I will continue pushing even if the urge stop again, that it must come out. Another urge came and I started pushing, a nurse was saying that the baby is facing up or something like that, I did not really care, I hold my breath, and was pushing, it stopped I continued with the same energy and boom the baby crowned, It then started again and I gave a small push and she came out. By then the doctor has come, she did not cry initially, like she was surprised and was just shining eyes. They tapped her and she started crying, the time was 1.37pm. She was weighing 3.2kg. There was no tear too, the nurse was guiding her head. They injected Me and delivered the placenta, cloth her and also immunized her. We returned to our room.

THE people there was marvelled, they were like you that left now now. Even my DH was surprised, we were face timing around 11am and he was saying that I was not looking like someone in Labour and we were laughing. I was still alone, recieveing call from well wishers before the person that was supposed to accompany me arrived. She was apologizing, I told her it is OK, my mum is with the kids and I don't have any relatives around and I did not tell my other friends except her. I called her that morning and she couldn't come out of work until that afternoon.

In All I thank God, because it is him that made this pregnancy and delivery possible with all the challenges.
I thank all those who rejoice with us during the birth announcement
I thank my team members and members of this thread for always coming to my aid, although it is not my first, I still learn many things and I gain solace here too.
To other remaining mamas God will grant you all smooth pregnancy and easy delivery.
All GTC mamas viewing, I pray that very soon you will be testifying about your own bundles of joy.

Birth story
Part 1, pregnancy story

I wanted to get pregnant last year but it did not work. First time I am experiencing delay in conceiving. The three months I tried was one of the confusing and sad moment of my life. I was like after two kids, what will I call this one. My husband need to return to his base that is mainly while I am in a hurry. He returned to base, covid came and I used the lockdown to really evaluate myself.

I found out that I have a poor eating habit and diet. I don't even drink much water. I looked at my period that time, it was very irregular, first time I am having irregular period. I saw five periods in three months. So I just started exercise, upgrade my water intake, quit soft drinks and also started eating vegetables and finishing my food. I am still proud of myself.

Fast forward to December, we started trying again. One month later I did not see AF. Two days later cos my cycle is usually between 28 or 29 days, I checked and I saw a faint positive. After another two days I checked again line is still faint. 1 week later, I checked still the same faint line. I was like OK o, since I am yet to see any period, let me be watching.

All my first trimesters are always delicate. My first one I misscarried, 2nd one I was bleeding like mad but thank God we survived, 3rd one the same threatened misscarriage. So I was advised not to be doing anything stressful, no sex and plenty of rest. So with two kids and no help, my mum agreed to stay with me for 2 months. We were happy. She came, two days later she fell down and broke her leg, her thigh bone the fermur broke into two.  My hubby has to extend his ticket in other to be helping out. But he still travels to other state for business. I was always stressed out.

When I was 8wks, I told my hubby that I was scared, I used to take progesterone in my other pregnancies. He said why should I be, since I am neither bleeding nor spotting which is true. I was also experiencing MS, sore nipples etc. We went to the hospital regardless, after the scan, the doctor wrote something in my file and said we should come back in two weeks time. I was not comfortable, so I told him my history and requested for duphaston, he obliged, he opened my file to write and I saw no fetal pole, I don't know the meaning. I did not ask either because it was clear that he did not want to tell.

ON our way home I entered Google to look for no fetal pole and I started seeing things, I was almost fainting, I was checking for success story of anyone at 8wks and I found none. I broke down and started crying. I explained it to my hubby and he said he did not believe it. What am I now carrying for two months, that sometimes I will be bringing unnecessary panic to myself. He said it is not possible, that I should calm down he knows that his baby is in there, that the blury black and white machine can also make mistake. But I know deep down oga is panicking too.

All the symptoms I was experiencing magically  disappeared except sore boobs and according to Google, that was a sign of blighted ovum. I prayed like never before. But some days later, I was already accepting it as my fate, silly me. I said I will choose d&c as a way of evacuation.
With the believe that I was no longer pregnant, I attacked all the neglected chores. One night after cleaning the whole house at once, I was having nausea and stomach discomfort, I also vomited, my mouth was bitter. I just said a simple prayer.  Then the next day we went to the hospital and we saw a strong heart beat. My hubby was like woman of Little faith. The doctor said he deliberately did not tell me but it was a threatened miscarriage. I was booked for antenatal.

Second trimester was good, my mom was recovering. I was glowing. Hubby has returned to his base. But my placenta is low, which is not really a problem because it was like that with my previous pregnancies, it always move up before I deliver.

30wks I went to a scan centre to check gender, they said baby closed leg. Presentation is breech, posterior low lying placenta 1.4cm to internal os. I also went to lab the same day and I have malaria with low Pcv. I went to hospital the next day, the baby is in ceph position, placenta and blood is still low, I was given drugs for malaria. When I recovered I was trying to boost my pcv. Two weeks later I did another test, it was even lower than before. Thank God for this thread and those that responded to me, My blood level was boosted.

Good evening mamas anyone experienced this please. Went for dating scan yesterday but was told no foetal pole at 6weeks6days, was advised to check again in 2weeks time. This pregnancy means a lot to me as it's helping me get over my mum and mum in-law's death

Hi mama, sorry for your loss
I was in your shoes before, mine was at 8 weeks that is 2 months and I was told there is no fetal pole. But according to Google it is normal not to see a pole at 6 weeks due to late implantation. But I believe that two weeks later everything will be fine.

I was only given duphaston and folic acid to take for that two weeks. Keep praying and believing God and you will see your baby's heartbeat in 2 weeks time

I think is laziness though, I haven't even spray Insecticide. But I'm hoping to do it this week.

I am 36 weeks today but I have a feeling that this my baby will reach or pass due date. Maybe because my labours have never start naturally. Or because I am not feeling any discomfort at all. But I want 37 or 38 weeks baby.

Sorry ma, you will get well soon. Don't worry nothing will happen to your baby, the doctors know the right medication to give you that will be safe for you and baby. Also ask your doctors what can possibly be causing it, check Google too. Then you will the possible cause and try very well to avoid it.

BS! BS!
Got married in 2011, waited, waited and waited for pregnancy to come, months ran into years pregnancy wasn't forthcoming.

I and DH finally decided to do IVF, first attempt failed, second failed as well. To God be the Glory the third attempt was successful. Did PT Jan 1 and got a positive results, was super excited n prayed for a smooth journey

First trimester was smooth, aside weakness and tiredness. No vomiting, no nausea

Second trimester was something else, had dehydration headache, took malaria drugs thrice, vomiting n nausea was on n off, took drips, could hardly sleep at night, was given diazepam injection to make me fall asleep, as God could have it we progress to next stage

Third trimester was abit smooth, felt fetal movements more alongside with kicks,could barely walk, heaviness was on another level, also had to treat malaria twice oooo coupled with exams I wrote, which I think led to preterm contractions
At 32weeks started having preterm contractions and difficulty in breathing, vomitted as well and appetite was zero...I was admitted,vaginal examination done and cervical effacement has taken place, God is so faithful pregnancy was carried till 34weeks, despite placed on drugs n complete bedrest contractions still persist

Emergency CS was carried out on Wednesday morning 28/7/2021 to a live delivery of a baby girl (weighed 2.1kg) n baby boy( weighed 2kg)
They are currently in SCBU and by God's grace are doing great and responding to treatment.

All Glory belongs to God, just can't thank him enough for changing my name to mama ibeji, after 10years God Almighty wiped my tears and wore me a gown of joy, happiness.

I wish my team(August mothers) and others mothers a safe delivery, there shall be no loss, you all shall carry to term in Jesus name.

BS summit oooo....see you soon(2025)

Congratulations mama, thna God for the safe delivery of your twin, I pray they will be a source of constant joy in your home.

How long should I boil it, is it evaporated milk or normal full cream. Is it to be taken when hot or warm.

Sorry ma'am, I did my PCV 2 days ago and it was 26.6. I remember having low PCV during my first too, I was with my mum then, so she got someone to help her pluck one leave, I don't know the English name but it's called Ewe Eje in Yoruba which means blood leaf literally, she cooked with water and it was so red, I added milk whenever I want to drink it, it turns purple after adding milk.

She also prepared one vegetable then, it's called "efo Igbo" I don't know the English name too.


So I got someone to help me get the Ewe Eje and I prepared it yesterday.
I heard water leaf is very good too, I cooked water leaf with enough offals with plenty liver( it's very good too)

You can try and get them if it's available around you, let's do that religiously for a week and see.

Thank you so much ma, God bless you. This is not my first pregnancy either, In my last one, I have blood issue in the beginning but it later increase and I did not even try this hard.

I have Google all the leaf to mentioned and I will go in search of them today. Hopefully I will find the ewe eje. We will testify by next week.

Sorry mama, is the depression due your low pcv? If yes, what's your PCV?

If No but something personal, try and find someone to pour out your heart to, talking about it makes one feel relieved.

May Almighty God make it easy for us all.

Yes o it is because of it cappo, when you feel you are doing everything right and you are not getting result, you will be frustrated. Before it was 26%, two weeks later it was 23%. I think it is the lowest of the low, then my only diet was fruit, water and vegetables but still it decreased. But I had malaria sha so I don't know if it contributed to it.
Thank you so much and Amen to your prayers.

My story when I was preggy last year. Mum in law had to send 'hospital too far leaf' for me. It worked at the very last minute to giving birth.

Plus try and reduce stress, sleep well, worry less, eat right and make sure your antenatal drugs are from the hospital too. Tell your doc to change your routine medicine including one blood tonic in small bottles that you break to mix with water. Don't panic, it will end right.

I was given the blood tonic last Friday, I hope it will work. I will find out next week.
Is the leaf sold in the market, or can you show me a picture or describe it let me know if I can be able to get it.
Thank you so much

How's 3rd trimester going? Please kindly respond to this roll-call.

Cappo we dey, baby is kicking very well. I just logged in today to respond, I have been depressed lately and everybody is telling me to keep praying and be believing in God.

I am still battling low PCV even after all my efforts. I chop different types of vegetables like goat even raw and cooked ones, I do Ugu juice, I take iron tablets but instead of increasing it is reducing. This is my situation now

Any mama that have a solution should please, help a sister out cry
