In all I give thanks to almighty God. My baby is strong and healthy. I am very fine and recovering well.

God has been faithful.

P:S I have not been lactating well. Any advice on how to boost my breast milk supply will be well appreciated.

Ignore all typos.

Congrats again mama.. You can try lactation cookies or fenugreek supplements if our local hot pap and peppersoup did not work for you.

Cappo Miracletoday how are you and our prince ? Hope vigilante is a little bit nice to you ma?

Cheer up sis. CS is not a death sentence o. Many of us have gone through it and years later, we are happy holding our kids. The most important thing is to pray it goes smoothly without any hitches. Gone are the days women believe that "we must all born like the Hebrew women"
My sister in law almost lost her life because she wanted to born like the Hebrew women even when it's obvious she can't. Last last, Na CS them do remove the big baby boy-already dead because he was tired already. It's been over ten years uptill now, no child.
Till date, she regrets what that hospital did to her. Make them do CS them say no, she must born by herself. Guess what? Na only sorry them told her o.

When I was about to born my first and I wasn't dilating, and my water already broke, scan confirm that my baby heart rate is too low, them say emergency CS. My husband refused. I told him, let's just do it before we go regret later o. My baby was given to me within two hours and she is 2 and a half years now. Cheer up, no be everybody go born like Hebrew women o.

Born like Hebrew women na either through VD or CS for me o.. wetin make am Hebrew na say mama and pikin dey... Las las all of us na Hebrew women. Thank God you have a big girl to trash diaper and bring new one

sugarcoatted:
When i had my first, i chose cs myself, even though i was given an option for induction. I cried for like 2days straight, not cause of finances, i was just so scared for no justifiable reason. I cant even explain why. But at the end it was for good, because my baby was in distress already, she didn't cry immediately they had to rush her out of the theatre to resuscitate her, my water had drained out without me even noticing. It was God that led me to take the right decision, because i didn't even consider the induction for a moment.

The first thing that came to my mind while making the decision was my sister. She had similar issue with this mama. But unlike this case, she was in labour for several hours before they suddenly realised she couldn't give birth normally due to small pelvis. I didn't want anything emergency at all.

Mama Pojomojo, please stop crying and go in for it. God will see you through

That was a good choice you made oo, thank God it ended in praise.. that water leaking without you knowing, is there any explanation for that our were you told anything about it? How could water leak and one w ok my be aware? Please enlighten me

Thank God for your sis ooo.. That pelvimetry or what is it called is supposed to be made compulsory in all hospitals to avoid prolonged labour on small pelvis which leads to emergency..

novia22:
True talk dearie....
See, God is not asleep. He is aware of all this even before she concieved. He always makes a way and he will make a way for her......

Amen and for everyone of us

Teamie @ Vivi01 whats happening na, tomorrow is 5 ooo, how body and hope you are set with the bag by the door? God will see us through in Jesus name

khaffi2:
Oh com'on sweetie, you don't have to cry. It's even better you know earlier so as to brace up for it. Don't worry, whichever way, the most important thing is healthy baby and mother alive. May God provide and see you through successfully.

Amennnn

novia22:
Sweetheart why are you crying? Cos they told you your LO has to come via CS?

I'm going to be blunt with you and I apologise before hand.

Would you prefer going to the theatre and losing your life and your baby's while trying to push?
Do you know the complications that come for forced delivery through a small pelvis?
Are you telling me you regret carrying that wonderful gift from God?
Do you know some woman are ready to be cut into half just to have one child?
Aren't you grateful there is another means of bringing forth your little one?
If you bring forth your LO via CS does it make you less a woman?
Did you create yourself and do you have the slightest idea if that's how God created you to save you from something nasty in life?
Is CS written on the forehead?
Do you know some women who can have Vagina delivery opt for CS without even having complications?

My darling My darling.....Clean your eyes and stop crying..
You are a Woman. A Strong One. A Beautiful one carrying a Beautiful Gift. CS is not a death sentence. See it as a way God created for You to carry your little one....it doesn't make you less a Woman or Wife or Mum. In fact I salute women that have had CS sef.....I feel they are stronger than me...
Be strong for you and our Baby...it must end in Praise...
On behalf of All Preggies here.....we love you....

My dear, sometimes it's not that many think CS makes them feel less of a woman oo, it's the financial implication.. the fees automatically triples... Make I no lie you ehn, if na me too I go worry small cos of the cost... All in all, God will meet our needs

Pojomojo:
I went for vagina examination and I was told my pelvis is too small for vagina delivery. I have been crying since morning, this is not what I planned or envisaged

Please don't cry, the most important thing is that you and baby are fine no matter the form of delivery. God will also provide the resources..... There are women whose pelvis is normal for VD and they are prepared for it but their baby's presentation won't allow them have a VD. Just brace up for it ma, again, God will provide

Hello mamas, what do you use for cough?

Prescribed antibiotics and cough syrup doesn't work for me but honey and warm water clears it all

breeezefe:
Lol
It's not a small something mama.

When I go to pee, I wee just my searching the stuff like police wey dey find thief.

But I believe these things just happen when you least expect them to.

It reminds me of when I was TTC, I would pray that I don't feel the signs of my period coming. It should just stay where it is and not come��.
But when I conceived, I didn't even expect it.

God will take all the glory in the end

Amen ooo... That's how I look for show too oo it's the final lap already and as you said, God will take the glory..

*PRAYERS FOR MUMMIES ALONE*

Mummies kindly proclaim these :

I delete my name from the generation of women who labour and die at the beginning of their harvest.

I delete myself from the order of women who work and another enjoys their labour.

I belong to the order of women who live to a full ripe old age.

I belong to the generation who sees their children's children up to the fourth generation.

I belong to the generation of women who will not die without fulfilling the Lord's counsel and purpose for their lives.

Blessed mothers.

1.God will make me the Mother of my children till my old age.

2. I shall not bury any of my children.

3. The death that
snatches children
suddenly will not know my abode.

4. This year 2022 will not swallow me
and my family by God's grace!

5. My children, their spouses and I shall be shielded from evil and its doers.

6. My sons & daughters
will not marry my
enemies & their spouses
will be my best friends.

7. My children's food will not be bitter in my mouth.

8. My songs of glory will not be sung by another person.

9. A minute of silence will not be observed for me on the day of my children's wedding.

10. My last name and title will
be great grandma.

Amen, thanks for this

GEJTILL2019:
Good afternoon everyone.

My wife is 38 weeks pregnant.
1. what are the signs of early labor ?

2.what are the things she can do to help ease labor ?


3.how many hours does labor take ?

4. is the 44 Military Reference Hospital a good hospital to give birth ?

Thank you all !

Hello papa,
1. There are different signs of early labour, I'll advise you check Google for them.

2. Lots of answers on Google for this too. She'll find helpful ones

3. Labour takes different forms in different individuals so how long it takes also differs. If you have read birth stories of women here, you will notice that it's different in everyone. Some labour for long while in some everything happens sharp sharp + delivery

Above all, you and your DW should do away with fear. Let her be open even as she expects easy labour and delivery

kokaiye:
i sight u too ma... How waddling? Baby is saying hi n Safe delivery to u all

Amen ooo

@ Image For us FTMs ....

Mama Kokaiye, I sight you, how's our baby doing?Ramadan Kareem to you and all our beloved Muslim mums on this forum... You all shall live to celebrate more in Jesus name..

Expectantmom:
TEAM MAY A.K.A TEAMPERFECTION!!!

MAY ROLL CALL!

First off, I want to wish us a happy new month and Ramadan Kareem to our Muslim sisters, may we all have reasons to be grateful to God Almighty always.

However, congratulations to our porters to April, we are glad you all gave birth successfully and we are thankful to God Almighty that both mothers and babies are alive, healthy and bouncing in the Lord's blessing. May your joy never be cut short in Jesus might name.

Consequently, I am glad we had new mamas register with us teamperfection therefore we are happy for the lord has increased us in every aspect of our lives. Father Lord, we thank you for the journey thus far because it is not by our power nor might that we have come to the month of perfection but for your mercy and favor that you have shown us, accept our thanksgiving in Jesus mighty name. Though it seemed far(at least for me), you gave us live, strength, courage and every other things necessary for easy waddling.

Therefore, my May mamas I say a big congratulation in advance to us all because our testimonies are permanent and people shall rejoice with us in Jesus mighty name. At this juncture, I believe our hospital bags must have been packed and ready in preparation for the arrival of our little ones. Please let's also endeavor to put things in other, like finalizing our leave(for both civil and private employees), start exercising for easy delivery and oh yes we can now eat fruits and foods that aids easy birth( like eating pineapple, dates, zobo, drinking ewedu or okra) whether it works or not I don't think there's harm in trying it.

Lastly, like we've professed, there shall be no loss amongst us(amen). Mothers and babies shall come out alive from the hospital in Jesus mighty name and no death shall be recorded afterwards. I want to use this medium to thank all my teamies, you have made this cappo work easy for me with your contributions, suggestions and availability, therefore I say thank you very much and I'm honored to be amongst you especially being a first time mom. To everyone (our experienced mamas) who have contributed immensely on this thread and made(still making) it easy for us all, may the good Lord grant you your heart desires in Jesus name. We are also using us all as a point of contact for every woman seeking for the fruit of the womb that God in His infinite mercy will visit them soon and they also shall share their testimonies and we all will rejoice with them in Jesus name.

Let the BAs and BS begin in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
May our deliveries by swift and complication free in Jesus name.

Hello everyone,
I was a member of this thread in 2018 and had my baby, I got pregnant again last year with my second baby but unfortunately lost my baby after birth in January this year.
The holy spirit has been ministering to me to give out everything I bought to a mother in need, so I am ready to do that but i need someone who is really in need and has not bought a single thing so i can give them all I have.
But i will need the group's help in choosing who i should give them to, i have things like car seat, dryer etc and other neccessities. Please anybody can reach out to me with the best way to choose or if there is already someone on this thread who needs it please let me know.
May you all deliver safely in Jesus name.

Amen.. God bless you mama and bless you real good very soon with another bundle of joy..

Niyyah:
Thanks mama.

It's a local hospital here in the UK

Oh, wow.. local ke? I thought as much though wanted to give it the benefit of doubt incase it's here in naija

Niyyah:
My BS
This was an eventful pregnancy for me. I'll try to keep it as comprehensive as much as possible.
We decided to start trying for baby no 3 after our youngest 4th birthday. It took a few months before it finally happened.
My first trimester was a very calm one, I had mild nausea, vomited like 3times and I could eat the food for the whole house!!
2nd Trimester came, and at exactly 17weeks, I woke up with some nasty chicken pox rashes, I had no idea how I contracted it at all, probably at work and it wasn't what I had as a child too, so it was such a dangerous one for my baby, apparently the baby can be born with so many defects because of the virus, so I was moved from my community midwife to the consultant team at the hospital, as soon as the spots scabbed over. I started having monthly scans and extra checks just to be sure my baby wasn't affected by the virus and thankfully everything looked OK. Then at 24 weeks, I caught covid again! Kolohun shaanu! It was a very horrible cold, headache, blocked nose and every joints in my body were sore. I was so sad as I didn't know why everything was happening during the pregnancy �.
Covid done and gone, third trimester came with the pains/waddling and discomforts, then I started getting extremely thirsty, like I could drink LOTS of water in a day! I told my midwife at my next appointment and she sent me for a GTT ( glucose tolerance test) and when the result came back positive for gestational diabetes, it was as if my freedom and pregnancy was snatched away from me!! My sugar level was so high which was very bad for me/ baby as so many things could go wrong during the pregnancy/ childbirth, if my levels wasn't managed. Especially when I was told about the risk of shoulder dystocia/ stillbirth and all, it was so overwhelming.
I had an appointment with the diabetic team, where I had a chat with a dietician on my diet and food that I need to start eating, I had to cut all sugars from my diet and I was given my glucose monitor, where I had to be jabbing my fingers and be checking my sugar levels 4times a day! So my freedom to eat whatever I wanted was snatched away from me at 28weeks.
I cried so much the first time I did the finger prick as it was just too much for me. Dh went grocery shopping and I started my GD( gestational diabetes) diet the next day. At this point, I asked God for strength and put everything in his capable hands.
For weeks I was eating the same food everyday, and despite everything, my sugar levels were fluctuating so I was started on Metformin and as the pregnancy was progressing, my levels started rising again around 37weeks ish so I had no choice than to let the diabetic team know and I was started on night time Insulin at 38weeks.

After my 36weeks growth scan, induction was discussed as they were worried the baby could get too big if I reached 40weeks and there was a risk of shoulder dystocia. We agreed on me, getting induced at 40weeks exactly but to have stretch and sweep from 38weeks. The first one didn't work as my cervix was posterior and thick, so I started walking, doing more house chores and bouncing loads on my birth ball as I was hoping that could make a difference. Fortunately, when I went for my second sweep on the 28th April, my midwife was able to give me a nice sweep and contractions started few hours later. I still wasn't sure if it was the real deal starting, so I decided to manage and see if there'll be a progress. I couldn't sleep at all during the night because of how painful the contractions were, and when we woke up for Suhur( Ramadan pre dawn meal), I had to call the maternity triage unit and was asked to come in ASAP. When I got there and I was examined, the midwife said I was already 6cm! But my contractions were still irregular and sac was still intact. When the drama started, I asked for some sort of pain relief so I was given gas and air, which took an edge off the pain. It wasn't enough for me as the contractions were getting more intense, so I asked for for an epidural and before they could call the anesthesiologist, the midwife decided to check me and saw that I was fully dilated so it was too late for any epi. My sac was broken and after pushing for almost 47mins( wallahi), my prince came out, very chunky, screaming his lungs out, weighing 3.79kg! And every pain, tears, needle pricks, insulin injections, all the aches, the tears, the fears and the emotional roller coaster floated away like it never happened. I calculated it and saw that I jabbed my fingers more than 250 times during the course of my GD diagnosis, and that's minus the insulin I had to inject on my thigh every night as well. Kasha ma dupe.
Alhamdulillah Robbil ahlameen.
I wish all the waddling mamas easy and swift deliveries. May Allah Azzawajal answer all the prayers of our gtc mamas. Gbogbo wa lama Jere omo wa lagbara olohun. Aameen

Goodevening Mamas.

Just found out I am pregnant with my second. Pls I will like suggestions on a good prenatal drug I can start taking now. With my first child, I took just folic acid for the first 12 weeks, after that started taking the drugs given to me at the hospital.

Congrats ma, you can start with folic acid as well before you register and get the other prenatals or get pregnacare..
