Mamas iv been meaning 2 ask, wats d implication on an anterior lying placenta @ Labour? Dose it mean d placenta ll come out b4 baby? Wit my 1st, d placenta was posterior lying nd kicks well felt, wit my 2nd, it was anterior almost tru out d preg but later moved 2 d posterior during my last scan nd b4 delivery. My baby was a sleepy baby tru out so d kicks were not always hard. 4 dis pregnancy, my scan says it's anterior nd kicks have not been 2 hard bt I know my gynea is hoping it changes 2 posterior b4 due date. So am asking, nytn wrong wit an anterior lying placenta @ birth?

Teamie, the best placenta presentation is posterior. This enables you to feel baby kicks early enough and does not also block the birth canal. Sometimes though, the placenta maybe anterior at the beginning of the pregnancy but as the pregnancy progresses, it moves up as it was the case in your second pregnancy. If it remains anterior till delivery time, the implication is that it will block the birth canal making it difficult or impossible for the baby to pass thro the cervix to the vagina. It usually necessitates a CS. But not to worry, keep an open mind . Yours till has time to move up. It will move up as it did in your previous pregnancy. ...Best wishes

Hello mommies, silent thread follower here.

My lil arrived a week ago, I gave birth in the car. When I remember all that went down, I wish there was a cameraman to record all the action cos thinking back now, it was so funny.

I went visiting my inlaws with hubby and that night around 11pm, the pains started. Hubby was like let's go to the hospital o, but I was forming veteran(I have a 3 year old boy). I said its not time yet. Couldn't bear it again, went to the sitting room, met FIL. He saw my behaviour and told me to go get dressed for hospiital, I nor gree. Meanwhile, I had gone to poo like 6 times within 3hours.

Finally, I agreed to go to go the hospital around 4:30am. On our way, I dey scream die, must have woken up any street we passed through. The next thing I knew, I heard 'pish', my mucus don comot and I had the mad urge to push. Tried holding it but no way, baby's head came out and body followed swiftly.

I thank God for everything. Though my son is still traumatised, he was in the back seat of the car with me and saw the whole show. Everytime, he still tells me I'll cry in the night and baby will fall on the floor of the car.

I wish all preggos a safe delivery. Kisses!

Lioha I saw lochia for 2months! Some days light some days normal. Then it gave me a two weeks respite only to resurface with vengeance as AF! Heavy bleeding with clots it lasted for just 5 days and since then period has been coming like clock work. It comes out especially if I've been very active. Sorry dear it will ease off.

Tatacherie sorry dear why not appeal to your DH to allow you get help even if its someone that comes and goes? Cos at the end of the day if you are not well rested you can't give your child 100% care! And it can affect you psychologically.

Proudmom38 how far?

Kendraloops wow! thank God for safe delivery, I pray your toddler overcomes the trauma soon.

@Adorablewifey, ehugs. May God grant you your heart desire(s).

*hugs* sweetie

This too shall pass. I know how it can be. Firstly you need to take a break /chill on everything. Have you got cereal at home? Go and have a bowl and take a nap. Put breast in small madam's mouth so she will doze off too.
When you wake up, take a pen and paper and draw up a schedule. Laundry can be reduced to thrice weekly, there's no one in the house with you, certainly you don't have to mop the entire area daily.maybe just the busy paths. Can you bulk cook? Even if its just a bowl of stew and one of veg or ogbono/okro or you know stuff like that. A little beans too or whatever your favourite meals are! If the house is currently upside down ask a neighbour to help arrange a one day cleaner(hubby doesn't need to know) and then you can maintain thereafter.

Your well being is most important and baby wont relax if you aren't relaxed. Are you formula feeding? you can start that if you feel baby isn't getting enough breast milk and you have enough cash to spare since hubby nor dey house etc etc

Hope this helps

Cc Zayn.ie, soon.est, babyth.ug n all sabi mamas.

I dont think you should be worried.
Anterior means your placenta is in front of the baby in the womb. The placenta cushions the baby kicks.
Posterior means the placenta is at the behind the baby and your baby kicks you directly.

Even before scan told me at mid-pregnancy, I knew mine was anterior cos I would just feel baby wriggle and no serious kicks.

Cc Zaynie, soonest, babythug n all sabi mamas.

An anterior placenta simply means your baby is taking a backseat behind your placenta. The fact that your placenta is in an anterior position doesnt pose any risk to you or your baby at all.
But if the anterior placenta decides to move down and lie low in your uterus, it could partially or completely block off the cervix and lead to placenta previa. That is when you have to do a CS. Don't be scared sha even if it moves down because the placenta generally moves around in the uterus a little during pregnancy, and by the time baby is ready to pop out, it might have moved out of the way.
Mine has been anterior all this while until my 25th week that it moved to posterior position

Cc senior Beed.am, Missm.alachi Za.ynie et others

Lets take it one after the other.
1. baby isn't sleeping for long cos of hunger.
See my daughter wont sleep for more than 30 minutes if she is hungry. Once she is well fed, she sleeps for almost 2 heavenly hours.
Even when she is awake, she is usually cranky when hungry ( just like anyone), once fed, she doesnt mind me dropping her while she plays as long as I remain in her line of vision.
If you are not producing enough milk, get formula while you find solution to it. Nan is cheap ( #1,500) and will last for a week for her age.
You can feed her with formular 2ce daily for starters.
It doesnt make you less of a mother. It means you are putting your desire aside for her well being and comfort.

2. In the hierachy of things, food comes before cleaning. Babe! Eat before you clean o.
Have fast foods at home always....bread, eko ( solid pap), pap, cereals. They supply energy quickly without making you feel too heavy.
Have snacks lying around.....chinchin, biscuits, juice ( the kiddies size), sweets etc. They pack enough glucose to give you quick power.

3. Train your LO to be a lil bit independent. To play with herself and be by herself. So that you dont have to carry her when she is awake.

4. Dont take househelp behind your dh. I never support wives disobeying their husbands. If he says dont do, please dont do. Instead find so many ways to convince him to change his mind.
You can for example tell him about having the once a week help come in. There are many professional cleaning services now. Tell him about them.
For now, clean in bits.
I always do my housechores in bits o.
Saturday is laundry and cooking, with cleaning sitting room and balcony and surroundings.
Sunday is ironing, cleaning the bedroom, bathroom and toilet.
The other days na maintenance.
And I have a 13 year old and 18 year old living with me o. We do it little by little. Abeg.

5. Do bulk cooking. Back lil Akela amd head to the market. Buy all you would need. Back her and cook make she dey sleep while you cook or put her in her bouncer make she dey look you as you dey cook.
Cook stew, soups as you like it and freeze.
Once you return from work or wake up ( weekends), bring it out to defrost while you shower or care for Akela.
Or eat out. As you are coming from work, branch correct fastfood or buka and chop. Na to reach house, baff and sleep remain.


New mothers must realise that the moment they become mothers, one of these 4 will likely suffer;
- Work
- Home
-Child
-You
Dont let it be you or your child.

When I had my son and my husband turned to ComplaintManager, he will "say look at the house", "you didnt wash plate since", "wont we eat?", "what if we have guests?".
I will just pretend like I didnt hear anything.
If guest no like how my house scatter, make dem hep me arrange am now.
If we no get wetin to chop, abeg cook....who dey cook for you before I enter your house?
If I no wash plate nko? The plate go spoil ni?
I go at my slow and steady speed.

But now with my baby, I am able to cope with a lot cos I have experience now. She cannot hold me ransom with her tears.....I no be jjc.


Cheer up Tata, find something to eat, pull your daughter beside you and sleep.
Soon this phase will only exist in your memory







Soonest, I think you need to introduce yourself to her now.

tatacherie dear, mam zaynie and mam baythug have answered you well.

No ma'am. There is no difference between posterior and anterior (only difference is that one implanted in the back and the other implanted in the front). The placenta never blocks the birth canal except it's low lying and that could certainly happen with both posterior and anterior. Having an anterior also never necessitates a CS if your baby is not breech or any other thing. I have fundal anterior placenta which means my placenta is in front but also on top of my uterus and I've had no problem feeling kicks whatsoever. I asked my doctor more than twice as well and he was not concerned one bit.
