A pair of bathroom slippers
I tin of glucose and small cup and small spoon

BFP
So, while dressing up for a training that fateful January morning, I realized my period was meant to have showed up. I made a mental note to pad up so it does not disgrace me at the training. Just as I was pulling out the pad, I saw one remaining pregnancy test strip in the bag (hubby and I actively tried two months before and after 6days of delayed period and false hope, aunt flo came in torrents; reason I still had an available test strip). I just decided to use this last one and dispose so I could put my mind to rest. Tested, placed on top of the pack on the table and went ahead to finish up dressing. One look at the test strip and I saw two huge lines staring at me... Jesus! My very first BFP... Wao... Was I really prepared for this? Next was to call hubby and we both called my mom... yen yen yen (you know the drill...the oohhs and ahhhhs and do's and don'ts). Blood test and abdominopelvic ultrasound were all positive with the good news.

First Trimester
Mehn, first trimester came with lots of nausea and tiredness, no vomiting though... I could only take sprite and fanta for a whole day. On some other days, I craved something and went all the way to find it on such days, no matter the stress ooo. One time like that, my craving was sniffing mint money, lol... Hubby had to change money to mint ni, I go just arrange am for purse, small time, I go comot am to inhale... chei God! Aside some of these silly things, first trimester was somewhat uneventful and I commenced ANC at 10wks +6days (EDD: 11th September, 2020).

Second trimester
Second trimester came with spitting which stopped after a while. Then came the excruciating pains of myoma degeneration... kai... ended up in the hospital and there started my journey into using opiods to stop the pains when they start. This was about the 18th week and that was when I was told I was going to have a princess. Appetite improved and I rested the most part. When we were about rounding off, my feet started swelling, though no other symptom of preeclampsia was on the radar. So I just cruised past.


Third Trimester
I was quite expectant. I actually felt I would port to August sincerely cos my bump was big sha, at least compared to my slim frame. I finished packing my bags by week 32. Eh he, thirst from nowhere... I was drinking water on a regular, each trip to quench my thirst saw me downing nothing less than two chilled satchet water and in a day, I could finish 10-12 satchets of water or more. Frequency in urination and insomnia started full time... I was so jealous watching Hubby sleep most nights, lol.
Anyway, August jejely passed me by, so my porting dream died a natural death. Hehe!


Labour and Delivery
Woke up on Sunday 6th September, 2020 about 5am and realized I was having contractions at 39wks + 4days. the contraction timer app on my phone showed it was somewhat regular initially, then just became irregular most times. So by 6am, woke Hubby up and we went for a long walk. Came back, rushed and made food but nausea could not let me eat well and having vomited the week before also while eating Sunday rice, I was scared of vomiting again(I usually do not vomit).We had some errands to run so we set out but with my bags in the car. I insisted on a brief stop at the hospital first before we started our wakawaka. Got there, my cervix could only admit the tip of the finger... yuck... on top this discomfort! Okay ooo. Sha, show started dropping after the examination. I was advised not to travel far though and to come in if anything changes.
By the time we were leaving the first place to the second that evening, na better pain dey worry me though contractions were still irregular. By 9pm, I could not bear it any longer, had my bath and left with Hubby to the hospital. Brethren, I was just 2cm gone... oh Lord! I sha told them I rather stay the night than go back home and was admitted for observation. Had contractions throughout the night, could not sleep... Hubby was there all through (God bless that man everyday!) rubbing my back and praying. I practically had to beg him to get some sleep which he succumbed to almost at dawn. I was hopeful that we should have made progress as per dilation by Monday morning (7th September, 2020). My dears, morning came and I was just about 4cm. Dear Lord! Infact, contractions stopped just before that examination. My obstetrician just told me he was going to augment labour... haaa, me sef know how painful that stuff can be just by observing my own patients... I just laughed and told him I was not prepared for it. He just said he'd send for me later. Men and brethren, I was sent for ooo and misoprostol tabs inserted... within 15mins, the real madness started... there was no breathing space, the contractions were just hitting me back to back... no position could make it better... I lay down on the hospital floor, knelt down, walked on all fours, lai lai... the tears started flowing, I was shaking the hospital bed eh... Christ! I remember telling my lovely husband he should not touch me again, to avoid slap... next moment, I was apologizing, lol. I saw myself going into another realm... just told hubby to go tell the doctor to section me. My doctor sent for me, I was taken to the labour room, behold, I was 8cm gone within one hour. Next thing, these people set up an infusion and added oxytocin to it... I just asked my doctor "Chief, do you want to kill me?" Kai... poo catch me by force, but I had pooed twice way earlier that morning and there was actually nothing to poo again, lol. Within 15mins, I was fully dilated, they were encouraging me to push but nah, at that point, I was exhausted... very exhausted. I just could not. I only kept saying "please section me"... my obstetrician begged, encouraged, said he could see baby's head... I just could not... I was not seeing anymore, I just wanted to sleep and I begged them to let me sleep. So I was taken to the theatre and knocked off with general anesthesia (I travelled to the US and was performing surgery on someone sef, lol). When I started coming to, I was being stitched up. Over time, my eyes became less heavy and I could open them well and communicate coherently. By the second day, I was walking around though the pains sha. My princess weighed 3.7kg at birth (2.7kg was estimated fetal weight on my 36wks obstetric ultrasound...I was hoping las las, we no go pass 3.2kg at birth...for where?)
Currently still healing... baby colics be keeping us awake at night... but we are surviving.

Baby dust to all TTC mothers!
Bye team September. God will make it easy for all of us both in childbirth and in upbringing. Amen!

Nemzy:
BS! BS!
This was my 2nd pregnancy and o boy was it a journey and a completely different experience from my 1st. The morning sickness, tiredness...I remember having these intense headaches every day.
From the 2nd trimester I started experiencing these back and waist pain to the extent I couldn't get up or take a walk most days.
3rd trimester was the hardest. Waist and back pains, trouble sleep till morning, occasional ms and fatigue..
Fast forward to September, although i've been working from home fully since the pandemic, I planned on stopping work by Sept 12th to begin my maternity leave on Monday the 14th as my EDD was September 22nd/29th LOLLL God's plan was different.

That monday morning the 7th of September, I decided to go to the office to begin my handover process and clear my desk then about 11am I started feeling pains. My heart skipped.
At first I thought it was false labour so I tried to continue work and even wanted to go and eat then the pain started coming more frequently and so intense that I couldn't do anything. I immediately called hubby who was working from home to alert him. We agreed he would carry the hospital bag i had arranged thankfully and meet me at the hospital.

On the trip to the hospital from the office the pains began to worsen. The Uber driver was so tensed that he started cutting all the stops as there was so much traffic. LASTMA officials even tried to stop us while trying to cut traffic omo naso the driver started shouting EMERGENCY EMERGENCY! One look at me they had to make way.
I say of all days I've been waiting, it's the day I went to the office and the day of mad Lagos traffic this is happening?!

Thankfully we made it to the hospital by past 1 and was admitted only for them to check and I was just 4cm dilated. Ha! I started crying and praying for divine intervention and supernatural delivery because I remember I laboured for almost 12 hours with my 1st child.

Hubby joined me and the pains just kept getting intense o boy! I told God that I didnt want to labour all day and the next time I would be checked I would be fully dilated and my baby would come. I was given tea to drink as I had not eaten all day and by past 4pm I started vomitting and was seeing stars.

When next the nurses checked they said I was 8cm dilated hmm glory. The next few minutes were the hardest kai. They broke my water and then I started feeling the urge to push and told them I wanted to push. I started pushing and to the glory of God by 5pm my beautiful beautiful princess was born weighing 3kg. Placenta came out few minutes later. Hubby even ran out of the theater immediately he saw blood and the baby lol. I had minimal tear so I was stitched up.

It wasnt an easy journey but one look into my Angel's face and it was oh so so worth it. We are getting there with recovery even with serious vigilante activities.
Women are superheroes and I celebrate all mamas. Kudos to us all.

I pray for smooth and supernatural delivery to all mamas in the house. Kisses to all my September teamies

sweetlady4real:
Mama, You are not ugly in anyway. You are doing the most amazing job of carrying a whole human being inside you, pregnancy and delivery is the most supernatural experience ever. Just apply Shea Butter, original Vaseline or Coconut oil on your chest and you are good to go.
Very soon all the discomfort will be over and you will behold your little one, Amen.

FairyGodmother:
Congratulations to all the new moms in the house! Safe delivery to all the belle full mommas. BFP to all GTC moms.
I am 39w3d preggy. I started having urinary incontinence /overactive bladder about a week ago. When it started I thought it was just discharge until I found out its not. For the past 3 days I have been wearing pad to avoid wetting my dress with urine cos I can't seem to get hold of it again. Went to see my doctor today and he prescribed buscopan and vitamin C for me. Please is it safe to use in pregnancy cos Google seems to be saying otherwise?
Cc kaffy4bill and other experienced mommas abeg make una chook mouth for this case...
