My BS :
Hmmm, where do I start from so I dont write a complete book? God has been merciful to me all through the years. I ttc for 7 years so when I found I was pregnant at exactly 7years I decided that nothing will happen to this pregnancy. All through the 1st trimester till 3rd trimester I didn't even feel like I was pregnant. Everything was just normal except for the nausea that comes & go.
At 34 weeks my Dr advice we should do elective CS or induced me since the baby was matured & wt our years of ttc that we shouldn't take any chances. I declined because I was scared of surgery (my younger sis died during her 3rd CS) so I guess the trauma was still in me so I declined saying that I'll try normal delivery.
...
To all the awaiting mothers I pray God will do it & the preggy sisters easy birth injn.

Congratulations mama, truly, I am super happy for you.

I am 39+ weeks and I have a history of big babies. My first was 4.0 virginal birth with plenty tear.
This one, my last scan as at yesterday shows my baby is already 4.1kg. My gynea has slated me for induction tomorrow Friday.
I am so afraid cos even the swap he did on me yesterday, I screamed down the whole hospital.
I have taken pineapple, lipton, trekked for where my oga is still there just shaking body small small.

Truth be told I am tireddd. This induction news is not helping my tiredness at all.

I am even considering to request for CS instead of induction. Sabi mamas that have experienced both please help a sister in distress

Good day Mamas, My wife clocks 30weeks alrdy. But the doctor said her stomach is too small and requested for an ultrasound for our next visit. Should i be worried?
As at week 29 the baby weight 1.4 kg .
So I'm concerned o. hope no problem.

Sorry sis. God that has started it with you will give you the strength needed.
For the induction I think it has to do with the hospital because I later heard some hospitals combines tablet with drip & it helps to hasten the contraction but in my case the Dr didn't so let's Sabi mamas come & give you their opinions. I'm still learning

Having experienced both natural delivery and induction, there is not much difference maybe because I have high threshold for pain sha. All in all my sister, commit it into the hand of the Lord and watch him do what no man can do. Don't be scared and don't give room for negativity. There shall be no loss, we awaits your good news.

Size of the stomach doesn't affect the baby and the weight is still fair at 29 weeks ur wife should eat more to improve the baby's weight

#TeamOctober2022 mama is here again with baby number 2. I thank God for counting me worthy. Baby number 1 is 7 months now and acting like she's truly ready to have a younger one. I saw my first menstrual period two months ago, 1 month skipped test with PT negative and no period, second one now no period, that's when I tested with blood sample and got positive(anyone with such experience)?
Though I would have loved to be preggy maybe later in the year or next year but God's will be done. I'm grateful, happy, hubby is happy too.
Once scan is done I'll know my team.
May we all deliver safely and God answer those praying for miracle baby too.
Kindly welcome me again.

[b][/b] B.S! B.S!! B.S!!!

I give thanks to God for preservation of my life and that of my baby.
At around 39 weeks, I was frequenting the toilet to urinate almost every 5 minutes. It was so stressful.
By then I was already tired of being pregnant and can't wait to have my baby. I was tired of going for antenatals too, the doctor tested me and said the OS abi na cervix is still closed. We met with the MD of the hospital to ask about epidural analgesia, which we added as part of the labour pain reducing options, they also said it is best injected when labour has reached around 6cm or so. I was gearing for 6cm so we can request for it at the hospital, so it was devastating hearing OS is closed, not even at 2cm.
I was doing this labour inducing exercise that I saw on YouTube. I did the exercise for two days, on the 5th day which was a Friday I saw the mucus plug came out, I have been having contractions like mild menstrual cramps, I decided to continue the labour inducing exercise. On Saturday, another mucus plug came out with droplets of blood. I went to my sister's place with my tired body as a way to exercise.
The contraction increased Saturday night/Sunday morning, so was unable to go to church on Sunday morning. My husband and I went to the hospital and met the same doctor that's been handling my file since, he checked again and said OS is still closed, the doctor said I should back home, the nurse said it's because I'm a first timer that's the reason I'm acting drama, in anger I told her I'm not acting drama that I know how I'm feeling, she later apologized. The doctor said nothing to be done, that even if I'm to be induced it will be week 41. I was so weak and could not argue anymore, so we went back home same morning. On getting home, the cramps reduced, I was relieved.
Later that Sunday evening, the cramps resumed and became so unbearable. Since we just returned from hospital that morning, I didn't want to go again, I managed till Monday morning, the intensity of the contraction increased to like every 10 minutes. Around 2pm Monday afternoon when the contraction didn't stop or reduced, I made up my mind to go for induction at the hospital cos I was so frustrated. My family friend and I went to the hospital, while we told my husband to stay back cos we don't want neighbors suspecting I'm going to the hospital.
We met the same doctor that kept saying OS is closed, he tested again, same closed OS, we told him to admit me at the hospital, he was reluctant to do so but later agreed after calling the MD. The MD said he would be around in the evening, I was in the room I got admitted into but was going through intense contraction, my family friend went home which is close by to get my hospital bag. My husband came some minutes later (all the efforts for landlady not to suspect I'm at the hospital proved abortive, you know Naija people and their shine shine eyes grin grin).




[/b] Please bear with me, I'll complete the birth story soon, busy with baby and trying to recover, been a bit tired the past few days.
Thank you for your understanding.

[b] Continuation

I was taken back to the labour room by the nurses and administered enema cos I was complaining of using the toilet. After the nurse did the enema with Lux soap and warm water, I rushed upstairs to my room to use the toilet. I was a bit relieved.
As my husband got to the hospital with some other supplies that he feels I might need, the contraction continued.
I was pacing round the room and will shout a bit when the contraction starts, they will quickly come and help me massage my lower back.
The nurses then moved me to another room at the first floor for easy management cos it's getting late in the evening. I could not eat or drink water. It was so intense.
I was taken to the labour room again for tests this time by a new doctor and another set of nurses on night shift.
They found out cervix is still closed, one of the nurses took permission to check and said she can feel the baby's head, all these tests were making me scream my lungs out. All there talks were flying out the window cos I didn't listen due to pain, I didn't even remember epidural sef.
The MD came in check and said I'm truly in labour but the cervix is just closed, that it's a rare case. Which means the doctor I've been seeing since didn't know it can happen due to his lack of experience on the job.
I was happy that at least, I was right on this one and not acting drama as the nurse said before.
The doctor then said I should calm down and cooperate or they will have to do CS, I didn't even listen to his talk, I was just crying.
He has gone to tell my husband and family friend that they may have to result to CS as I didn't cooperate and was stressing them.
One of the nurses then call them to tell me to cooperate that since they can feel the baby's head, I can deliver vaginally, I just needed to endure a bit more.
The MD with the aid of the doctor and nurses later used his gynecological tools to insert a transparent small ball with rubber rope in my cervix I think (I've checked online for confirmation, it's called Foley Bulb)
I was taken back to the room, after the insertion and some injections.
The contraction became more intense and was not stopping at all.
The doctor said they will monitor the catheter for 3 hours but if it pulls out we should let them know.
I've gone to urinate in toilet up to 30 times since I arrived at the hospital.
I didn't even know anything or hear anyone again. I lied down the contraction will hold me, if I stand same thing, I was slapping the walls and crying. AC repairer came to the room, I didn't even look his side even though I was not well covered with the hospital gown.
Each contraction I'll shout at husband and family friend to rub my back. They became tired but have no choice than to continue.
Within two hours while trying to go to toilet again, the Foley Bulb pulled out. They quickly called the doctor, in the same process, the amniotic fluid rushed out.
As we got to the labour room, the fluid rushed out again.
By then I think the MD has gone home.
The doctor and nurses prepped me up in the labour room cos it seems the cervix dilated to 10cm quickly within the two hours.

I was told to hold my legs and push looking towards my belly button. I did like twice. They could see the baby's head but no space for the baby to pass, so I was given a tear (chai, the tear long reach my anus cry though I just noticed they cut it but didn't feel the pain) the nurse said I should give the push my all.
I pushed for the 3rd time. I didn't even wait for them to call again, then I pushed for the 4th time and the baby just slide out that they have to quickly catch her.
I just heard her crying in a very thick voice deeper than my own sef lolzzzzz.
I just laid down well feeling relaxed.
When they were to start suturing I quickly requested for injection that numb the pain, so I sha saw two syringes stuck close to my vagina and I didn't feel the pain during suturing.
After they've dressed for baby and finish up with dressing me too, we went outside the labour room where my husband and family friend were waiting to receive us. My room was few rooms away so we strolled down with the nurses holding me.
I just laid down looking at my baby in her cot.
I delivered almost midnight but it was still that Monday night at 39 weeks 6 days.
Who knows what would have happened if I went back home as they suggested in the morning.
The MD came to greet me and baby the next day.
The other nurses and the doctor I met earlier were speechless.
The vagina is almost 100% healed now at two weeks postpartum. My mum stayed for almost two weeks, so I do sit on new potty filled with Savlon antiseptic and hot water, morning and night, she massages my body and joints area with hot water, she treats the vagina suture by massaging with hot water in towel, I drink warm water, I bath with warm water too.
My tummy is almost flat.
I thank God for life.
So sorry it came late. I just decided to write it now this midnight.
Thank you.

It is well with you Mami. Your baby can decide to come early and surprise mummy you know. Mother and baby alive is your portion. You can start taking dates and pineapple, trek like 10 minutes everyday to hasten labour. There shall be no loss, we awaits your good news.

Forget trekking, i can't even stand up🤣🤣. I will continue with dates and raspberry leaf. I have terrible ulcer and heartburn so i cant take pineapple. Thank you for prayers cappo. I appreciate 🙏

My sister dont fear. Infact i would gladly take induction now if suggested to me cos im tired. I did it for my two kids and it went well. I have history of big babies too. I dont want to wait till 39 weeks if baby is big. I hate cervical checking and swap pass induction i swear. You can do it believe me. Induction is faster for subsequent labour so you are good to do.

No problem at all. At 33 weeks, my baby weighed 1.6kg

I'm feeling slight pains at my lower abdomen. I can't tell if it feels like period pain or just pains. But it comes and goes... Is this because I've been eager to put to bed or.. it's really happening..

Maybe it's all in my head..

Yes after tablet then drips. For my first, tablet then pitocin drip, for my second the tablet was in high mg so after breaking my water contractions kicked in badly....didn't need any drip
