Pojomojo:
Let me write my BS now that I’m fine and have the chance because I have not had good sleep for the past 3 weeks.

So I got married and TTC for 2yr. I was the only one TTC’ing cuz DH was fine but supported me all through the way.

1yr 6month was really daunting for me, thankfully, I saw the peoples doctor on IG because she helped figure out I wasn’t ovulating and gave me medication that didn't help, visited hospitals with DH several times, did hormonal profile test countless times,I did hsg,countless tests and triggered with hcg etc plus drugs and the journey began, I remember one test results showing anovulation, I usually cry whenever my period comes very trying times. I had to fast, pray and was very regular on Google searching. I went for several massage, it wasn't easy but it ended in praise.

August 2021, I wasn't feeling too well which was usual, I was expecting my flow, it didn't show, I decided to wait for till evening yet no show, na so I carry test kit........ Its was tears of Joy.

I never had any symptoms of vomiting and some food aversions funny enough, I had threatened abortion in my first trimeste, asides that I was strong enough to work till the last week of April 2022. I put to birth on 10th of May, 2022. I took my prenatals for the for the whole duration of the pregnancy & I stuck to fruits and healthy diet.

So on the 9th of May, we were already in the hospital because it was scheduled to happen the following day. So I proceeded to have my baby via CS at about 8:01am and he came out weighing 3.3kg.

Thank God recovery was smooth and I was discharged 3days later.

Now I look at my baby and I can’t be more grateful to God for everything he has done.

Beautiful BS teamie

PREGNANCY AND BIRTH STORY

This is my only pregnancy I didn't TTC for. I had made a list of supplements to buy to boost ovulation and also a diet plan for fertility but I missed my period that very month.

The pregnancy journey was smooth. I ate plenty, mostly bread, yam and afang soup; I couldn't seem to get enough of these.

I was stressed daily. No househelp to assist. Husband working outside town and only coming on weekends. Waking up early everyday to prepare my older kids for school, meeting up with my responsibilities at work, striving for excellence at my post graduate program etc were constant challenges I overcame daily.

At 35 weeks, I fell in the bathroom. I am ever grateful to God who answered my prayer within a split second and i landed on my bum. I was scared but calm. God gave me the strength to pick myself up with my children and drove to the hospital that night. Got scanned and baby was okay. My severe waist pain began because I was not given any medication. Standing, sitting, lying down and even walking for long became a challenge.

I got scheduled for a CS at 38 weeks 3 days. I tried to get it brought forward but the doctor was adamant. I told him about the traumatic experience I had during and after the vaginal delivery of my first son therefore he should not expect me to forgive him if I fall into labour before the scheduled day. Thankfully I did not.

On Friday, 27th May at about 4pm, I got prepared for the surgery. I was given the spinal anaesthesia and unlike my first CS it didn't work properly. I felt the pain when I was cut. I almost screamed on the third cut and the doctors really needed to work fast to avoid it wearing off completely. My Jehovah Lord God of host put me to sleep and I didn't feel a thing again. My husband said our second Prince charming was brought out at 4:20pm. I woke up as I was being wheeled out of the theater.

May God grant every pregnant woman safe delivery and also provide the means to take care of those babies adequately.

May God remember those in the waiting room especially tripletwins222 who has been in the TTC group since when I was TTCing for my first child, replace the tears of despair with tears of joy and silent their mockers forever. Amen.

Bye to sweating under the boobs during pregnancies as I don hang boots!

Hi mamas. I'm new here but a silent follower of this thread. I had a miscarriage at 9weeks which was said to be a blighted ovum.
Pls how long will it take for the bleeding to stop. I had serious cramps/contractions yesterday which makes it bexactly 8days, It was as if I was in labor. But it's stopped now but I still bleed.
Who has experienced this before and how long does bleeding take?
I'll be going to the hospital this weekend for follow up.

Hello mamas... been a while here, lots of rollacoaster but glad toinform you that my baby boy came on 24th May 2022 as against 31st May after 36hrs of induction/ labour.

Please bear with me as BS may come late Had to relocate to a new country so settling down with baby and family hadn't been easy. We just also got discharged today.

BS will definitely come abeg just take this my BA for now

BS......... Na long story. I find time to come bk and write cos I have been stressed is an understatement.
Let's get right into it.

Remember I said relocation plus baby.

So before baby I had my Canadian permanent residence application going. So I was 30weeks when the approval came. Bak and forth trying to move and get passport stamped I entered 38weeks o my people. Got my Passport bk and moved immediately collected fake doctors report to give the airline that m 32weeks. Flew in on Thursday. Did all my registrations next day and was so stressed but it's all worth it o.
Early Monday morning 23rd, 3am, my water broke. I went to pee, the pee dinnor stop o that's how I knew the water broke o. I put pad and woke my husband up to tell him. He said let's sleep bk and by morning we will know what to do since I have no contractions. Before I slept off I msgd a lady who just gave birth in canada like me and told her my situation. She woke me with call by 7am to move straight to the hospital. Where she also delivered.

By 9am we got to the hospital, we got registered and put in d exam room. They tagged me, they examined my water that broke to know if I was really in labour. They took plenty blood o like becos I didn't have any record. After they took blood and check baby they admitted me. They put me in the labour room l was just not really contracting so they decided to induce me to make contract faster. They first gave me toast bread and juice to eat cos I can't eat again just water.
They asked if I wanted anything for pain. Gave me three options, oral drugs, laughing gas, and epidural. My sisters I was forming strong girl o. I said nothing o that I was fine.
I was assigned a nurse, a doctor and an assistant nurse to ring Bell anytime I need anything. They put a rope abi wire ni to monitor my heartbeat, baby's heartbeat and my contractions.
Then the whole thing started from past 10am. My husband and I started. For over 3hrs, it was 1cm. After 2 hours they came bk to check, it was 3cm. At this point I was hungry, tired and dey just kept saying you r doing great. You are doing well mama.
Omo I wan die 3cm and we still have 7cm to go. I begged pls gimme epidural. They said anesthesiologist is in d theatre. I cried ehn my husband was just begging me.

My parents in Nigeria were calling, his parents and our timr difference is 7hrs. Everybody stayed awake. He was being fired on the fone to know what was happening. My mum was crying pe lataro. We thought it will be fast. As we were admitted we called the parents and siblings to expect their baby. Had we known we could have calm down. My baby was really not ready. Actually my Edd was May 31st. But I guess the travelling stress induced the baby. At this point my husband and I prayed God help us.


Back to me crying. I was tired. Begging the nurse pls bring me the epidural. She said few hrs the anesthesiologist will soon be here. Few hrs keh. I cannot cope. Nurse was begging me o, telling me to walk around the room, it's a private room just be free. Inside the room I had my toilet, my baby's new machine to use for him, long chair to sleep for my husband and blanket
Then for a while i tried to sleep. I slept for like 1hr and they came to wake me the anesthesiologist was here. Omo I was in pain but walked me thru d process and said set your back. They started poking me. They poke and poke for 10mins. D anesthesiologist said I can't find your vein. I cried and cried. The nurse was holding me. My husband was also sad looking. The anesthesiologist said she will get an ultrasound to look for my veins, then she marked it. They started the poking again. After 5mins or so they were done. O mo after 30mins I was numb. I was feeling so good. I was contracting yet no s much in pain. From 10am nothing till next day. Omo by 6am d next day, I was 6cm. I was just there. Lifeless, my Husband didn't know what to do. He slept at some point omo I pity d man. Doctor came they continue to encourage me tht d baby is fine if they need comes they will do cs but for now I am doing okay.
I called my husband again let's pray. He said nooo he has prayed all he wants to do is give thanks. He started playing Christian music

By 9am cos the clock dey infont of Me like this, the doctor came again and said now we r 8cm. I was happy that finally we r almost there. I dinnor know that it was still a long. Omo it took more hours. The doctor said she will come finally by 11 and if no show, we move to CS. By past 11 my husband went to look for nurse. The doctor came and said finally we can start pushing.
Omo I started pushing o pushing and by 1 is only d head rhey were seeing.

The doctor even went to do operation but said she will be bk for me the nurse shud continue. By the time the doctor came. She said weldone your baby is coming. My husband said later I kept on pooing as I was pushing(smile) but nurse just packed it and not complain.

Sha the doctor came and said you r exhausted, shud I help u with 2 to 4 more pushes or u continue for 45mins. I said hen. How will u help she said vacuum Extractor delivery. I said yes pls she was just like your baby will have sore on his head. I said we wil take d pain together omo, I agreed o. She said push and d vacuum Extractor was inserted. I didn't feel too much pain o. Cos of the epidural. Dey removed my baby is 5mins. They kept him on my chest I just kept crying that finally. My husband was just there playing Christian songs and trying to trust God. Baby came he was just petting me and snapping baby. He immediately forwarded it to our family that hasn't slept for 2 days. I had tears, they sew me bk up

I was cleaned up. The nurse said we will move to postpartum after they checked my baby's weigh 3.2kg. They cleaned us all and moved me in wheel chair to the new room. They tested me and baby again and we were good. They immediately gave me and my husband food and drinks for a job well done. My family stayed awake and we called them. My husband just kept praying over his son while me I slept off.
We were in thr hospital for 2days. We got discharged on Thursday and my husband went to look for car seat for our baby. Then the nurses anf doctors came with plenty paper work, told us plenty things then wheeled me downstairs and my baby and they said byee. Gave me a lot for my baby and I and bade us bye.

Omo it was indeed a journey o. I thank God say this baby wait for me to become a Canadian o. In as much as the birth/delivery was a lot. The joy is that my baby is a Canadian. Thank you all for your love on this group o. I learnt a lot. My baby is gum body o. I can hardly get up and do anything he just cries. No help just me and my husband. But we thank God we r doing fine as a first time parent.

Cappo I Don submit BS o. Edd was 31st birth date 24th. Now our Edd Don turn to naming ceremony day o. Na zoom naming we go do o. Is just me and my husband we connect with our family online.

Hi mamas. I'm new here but a silent follower of this thread. I had a miscarriage at 9weeks which was said to be a blighted ovum.
Pls how long will it take for the bleeding to stop. I had serious cramps/contractions yesterday which makes it bexactly 8days, It was as if I was in labor. But it's stopped now but I still bleed.
Who has experienced this before and how long does bleeding take?
I'll be going to the hospital this weekend for follow up.

Sorry about the MC ma, did you go to the hospital for evacuation after it or you used a tab? If you didn't do any, you should go for evacuation to prevent residues and infections. Also if you used a tab, it might not expel all as I read from mamas that ended up having an evacuation done after taking the tab but it's not totally expelled...
If you did all the above, you should go for a pelvic scan to be sure there's no retained product of conception in the uterus...
Also if you did all the above, the blood will stop though I didn't bleed for up to 8 days cos I had an evacuation done immediately..

They started poking me. They poke and poke for 10mins. D anesthesiologist said I can't find your vein. I cried and cried. The nurse was holding me. My husband was also sad looking. The anesthesiologist said she will get an ultrasound to look for my veins, then she marked it. They started the poking again. After 5mins or so they were done. O mo after 30mins I was numb. I was feeling so good. I was contracting yet no s much in pain. From 10am nothing till next day. Omo by 6am d next day, I was 6cm. I was just there. Lifeless, my Husband didn't know what to do. He slept at some point omo I pity d man. Doctor came they continue to encourage me tht d baby is fine if they need comes they will do cs but for now I am doing okay.
I called my husband again let's pray. He said nooo he has prayed all he wants to do is give thanks. He started playing Christian music

By 9am cos the clock dey infont of Me like this, the doctor came again and said now we r 8cm. I was happy that finally we r almost there. I dinnor know that it was still a long. Omo it took more hours. The doctor said she will come finally by 11 and if no show, we move to CS. By past 11 my husband went to look for nurse. The doctor came and said finally we can start pushing.
Omo I started pushing o pushing and by 1 is only d head rhey were seeing.

The doctor even went to do operation but said she will be bk for me the nurse shud continue. By the time the doctor came. She said weldone your baby is coming. My husband said later I kept on pooing as I was pushing(smile) but nurse just packed it and not complain.

Sha the doctor came and said you r exhausted, shud I help u with 2 to 4 more pushes or u continue for 45mins. I said hen. How will u help she said vacuum Extractor delivery. I said yes pls she was just like your baby will have sore on his head. I said we wil take d pain together omo, I agreed o. She said push and d vacuum Extractor was inserted. I didn't feel too much pain o. Cos of the epidural. Dey removed my baby is 5mins. They kept him on my chest I just kept crying that finally. My husband was just there playing Christian songs and trying to trust God. Baby came he was just petting me and snapping baby. He immediately forwarded it to our family that hasn't slept for 2 days. I had tears, they sew me bk up

I was cleaned up. The nurse said we will move to postpartum after they checked my baby's weigh 3.2kg. They cleaned us all and moved me in wheel chair to the new room. They tested me and baby again and we were good. They immediately gave me and my husband food and drinks for a job well done. My family stayed awake and we called them. My husband just kept praying over his son while me I slept off.
We were in thr hospital for 2days. We got discharged on Thursday and my husband went to look for car seat for our baby. Then the nurses anf doctors came with plenty paper work, told us plenty things then wheeled me downstairs and my baby and they said byee. Gave me a lot for my baby and I and bade us bye.

Omo it was indeed a journey o. I thank God say this baby wait for me to become a Canadian o. In as much as the birth/delivery was a lot. The joy is that my baby is a Canadian. Thank you all for your love on this group o. I learnt a lot. My baby is gum body o. I can hardly get up and do anything he just cries. No help just me and my husband. But we thank God we r doing fine as a first time parent.

Vivi01:
This fourth trimester is no joke at all.pls I have some questions so pls do reply or share ur experience with me.I gave birth through Cs two weeks ago and I am still seeing blood. I just want to know how long will I continue to see the blood or when will it stop and also when can I resume sleeping on my tummy ?
An aunt of mine told me to mix original ogogoro with uda and uziza seed to drink that it will wash my Tommy of every bad blood pls o is this safe? Has anybody done this before here?

Funny enough a woman also advised me to take this exact same mixture after baby comes... She said her aunty who's a midwife told her it will flush out all the stuff and make my tummy flat and I just said Ok... When I told MIL about it she advised not to... That the only thing she did after all her 6 children was to take slightly hot cup of water every morning, nothing else... she didn't tie her stomach, she didn't press it with hot water or even sit on hot water... she only drank hot water every morning and her stomach went back to being very flat... Even in her 60s now her stomach is still flat...

BS! BS!!
I started having mild contractions around 3am on May 23rd so I couldn't sleep till day break.. I saw mucus plug just when we were about leaving home and my water broke on my way to the hospital .. The contractions increased .. Doctor did VE immediately I arrived at the hospital in the morning and said I was 5cm dilated. I was so happy.. I was moved into labour room, Contractions increased and the pain unbearable, I can't explain it .. VE was done again after few hours and I was moved into delivery room.. I was told to push as contraction was coming, but I was so tired to push..After several pushing, the midwife was like I will receive episiotomy ohh. I was like nooo, please don't give me episiotomy ohh., she had to take the scissors or whatever they use, before I could say don't cut me, she already did .. I pushed a few more times then baby finally came out ... I thought I was done with all the pains till they started stitching the episiotomy..I was shouting while they stitch..

BS submitted..Cc: May Cappo Expectantmom..

Safe delivery to other waddling Mamas and I pray God will answer the prayers of those TTC..

Congratulations to all mamas that have birthed their LOs and those of us waiting ... May God keep, protect and provide for us all... May He grant us sound health and make our babies grow strong and healthy... None shall have reasons to run from pillar to post because of health issues or complications... Amen
