The way i feel tired these days is something else. i seriously prayed to port to April, i am already in my 37 weeks and can't carry myself again, pls mamas in the house how do i cope from here?

We are same.. almost 36 weeks and im already done😓😓

Hang in there. It will be over soon

Honestly if i do scan at 37/38 weeks and see that baby is almost 3.8kg..im opting for induction. Going above 40 weeks will just make baby big and the option would be CS, just like it happened to my sister today. She has been labouring at home for 5 days(bearable) untill she did scan this morning and was told the baby is 4.1kg and the head can not fit through her pelvis...second born o

Mamas I have a question & pls I need an urgent answer. It's an EMERGENCY.
What could cause bleeding after tested positive? A friend whose been ttc for 8yrs missed her period for 2 weeks, she started seeing blood like period little by little since 3days ago. Today she went for PT test both blood & stripe tested positive but very faint. The Dr said d pregnancy didn't stay well since she has started seeing her period. That she shud come for flushing. Pls what can she do so she doesn't make a mistake of flushing it out IF the pregnancy is still intact. She was on carbagolin to correct high prolactin. Thnx

This is my story, I'm no mummy but I come here to read, digest , get to know and update myself.. Lots of feedback here put my life and BP to rest while some raised it. Above all, the baby came out fine yesterday..

40 weeks gone no sign of labour, date didn't work, castor oil didn't work, last scan shows baby is 4.4 and last resort was CS. I wish I had enough education about trying induction at 38/39 weeks. All in all. thanks to God, mother and child are fine..

It could be blighted ovum but I think she shouldn't be in a hurry to flush it out because sometimes it can also be very normal in early pregnancy

My second baby i was induced at 38 weeks cos he weighed 3.8kg and bp was high. I know my babies are usually big...its better to seek second opinion sometimes...im happy all ended in praise for you

Infacty my sis did another scan and baby is now 4.8kg and no longer 4.1kg. She has been booked for Cs

Yes but she should run some scan while waiting!!
If scan doesn't pick any fetal activity by week 10, then it's okay to say the doctor is right. But for now, what she's experiencing could be just implantation spotting which could stop soon.

Birth Story

Pre-pregnancy
After I had my first baby in December 2020, I did implanon family planning because I have a plan of having the next baby after 4 years. As soon as my baby clocked 1, pressure started coming right, left and center that I had to remove the implant when my baby was 1 year 6 months thinking that before she clocked two or even two I will get pregnant. Lo and behold, pregnancy entered the next month.

First trimester
My first trimester was filled with lots and lots of drama ranging from fainting, to metallic taste, headache, incessant eating and headache. My husband tried to persuade me to resign and take care of my health but na boredom go kill me o, I resisted and continue and God so good, blessed me with understanding boss and colleagues who are ready to fill in for me anytime I can't make it to work.

Second trimester
Headache and fainting spell stopped and edema started but I still managed to go to work and do house chores that I can do when my health permitted. My boss even moved me to another department and decrease my workload, God bless her for me.

Third trimester

Edema dealt with me severely but I still managed to go to work with slippers ooo and when I entered 28 weeks back pain and tightening of the lower tummy joined my ministry with sciata. I almost gave up o but I kept on pushing knowing someday I will deliver my baby.
I kept on managing the back pains like that until last night when I noticed water trickling down my thighs till I noticed an outpour of water running down and soaking my clothes.

Delivery
I woke up my husband and told him to let's start going to the hospital. On getting to the hospital, I was checked and was that contractions has started. That was around past 11pm at night. By 1a.m, I noticed the intensity is getting more closer, and the nurses encouraged me to practice my breathing exercises. Some minutes to 4, the intensity becomes more serious and less time in between, the matron decided to check me and she realized that the baby is crowning already. I delivered him at 4:10am this morning and placenta followed immediately. The baby and I was cleaned to God be the glory, I had no tears or any complications. I was discharged by 12 noon.

I pray for all women looking for the fruit of the womb that this time next year, it will be you and your babies. To all pregnant mothers, your day of joy too shall come.
I hereby throw my boot into the lake of fire.

I tap into this easy birth, congratulations dear

If the blood is not much and the result is still showing positive, I will advice she take progesterone medication or injection till she is 7/8 weeks and go for scan if there will be heartbeat . Also she should go to another Dr for second opinion.
