I will try to check my BP

Thanks so much, God bless u,I really appreciate your quick response

We are here to assist one another, mama

Good day mamas

So i did a test on monday and it was positive. Judging from my lmp, I'm just 5weeks+. This morning, i got to work and started feeling really uncomfortable. No pains, just discomfort around my stomach. Then i later noticed i was bleeding, with little. I went to the hospital immediately, the doctor said 5weeks is too early for a scan. That i will be placed on bedrest in the hospital and given progesterone and another injection. Now my question is, is there no way to check if the baby is fine or not?

congratulations sis, nothing will cut your joy short.

From what i know, trans-vag.inal can pick up just the yolk sac and gestational sac at 5 weeks and from 6-8 weeks heartbeat can be seen, most Dr's like to wait until the hbt can be detected so as to not get the mum unnecessarily worried.

Another way is to check beta hcg level, don't worry just relax and follow ur Dr's advise everything will be fine by God's grace

jumy16:

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.

jumy16:

Fine ooo.. can't wait

How are you feeling now? How about the vomiting?

lady25:

I had on and off back pains through out the night but they have disappeared this morning.

I think it's normal at this stage. Get pillows and make yourself comfortable with them.

Safe delivery to everyone.

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.

He2nuholuwa you're right. I'm beginning to feel very tired and the only food I can eat is rice, spaghetti and some fruits. I also feel cold, also I have boil. In all of these, I'm a proud waddling mom to be cos I won't trade it for anything.
Teamie, we will all carry to term and both babies and mothers will come out alive and healthy in Jesus name.

Oh! Congratulations mama. Very interesting BS. I really enjoyed reading it. Congrats ma. I pray God visits us soon. Amen

Peachbloom:


Please see a doctor ASAP.
Malaria and pregnancy doesn't go hand in hand at all.
If there is a need to treat you with injections, the doctor will decide this depending on the severity. If the tablets can do the job easily, especially if the malaria is mild, then your doctor will prescribe the drugs to use.

The test says moderately reactive typhoid.. Don't want to google medicate but kaiii, it is well

Hi All,

I am starting this thread so we can discuss pregnancy and all the joys, anticipation, expectation and all aspects of this beautiful time in a woman's life.
At times pregnancy can be very difficult and may even become life threatening, when conditions such as pre-eclamsia,gestational diabetes, Incompetent cervix, PPROM etc.  So lets use this space to discuss all aspects of this process.

Nothing in relation to pregnancy is off limits, lets share our experience and support each other in a caring respectful way. Doctors can only give so much advice, but i know first hand peer support is equally important.

So lets start talking!

Below are a list of ladies that have included their delivery dates, lets keep them in mind by praying and meditating and sending them positive energy, I will update the list reguarly, just include the month you are due. I will also update once you confirmed you have delivered. This will allow ladies to see others that are due around the same time as themselves and perhaps you may find a pregnancy "buddy". Its not a must that you include this info to join the thread, we welcome everyone.

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.

Just got in the the hospital.. I was told I would be treated for malaria as well and I asked why since am malaria free so he said since the lab I used(primary health care) did not use a microscope, the result might not be so accurate and also because malaria is a societal menace.
Who treats that way please?

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.

My Enugu Mama
Congratulations to you...may the Lord perfect everything... Protect and guide you and your little one...Amen.
