Pele my darling. I suffered same in the past couple of weeks.

Make sure you drink a lot of water and try to take short breaks in between and rest your head.

For 3wks I could not make my hair cos of headache. You can pour water on your head atimes too.

This too shall pass and we'll end this race successfully *hugs*

Thanks sis

Na so o
Less than this was #200 in my area.
I just eyed the rodo, dried shombo will do the trick.
But the good news is that tomatoes is now getting cheaper.
At least I saw #200 own

pls mamas,lo get hard sometimes now,i mean d back and nyash gets hard,is it contraction or contra...kikikiki??hehehehehe

cc:ma'am lovinam,zaynie,babythug,tchwinnie and other mamas.


Make i dey drop my bs small small.lol

dh and I finally kpekused this morning after several failed attempts last night. Mins later,i felt lo's turning/looking for space abi contraction,it was accompanied with little abdomenial pain and little pressure in the anus.
It is not regular at all but i felt it almost all day. Each time the belly stifens,i feel the pressure in the anus.

Nb:i ve felt abdomenial pain/cramp sometimes last sunday and didnt last and was not accompanied with this anus pressure.

Mamas,what is this?

Do you know with 1k only you can get these items and more... Detergent, 5kg of rice, provisions, toiletries, food stuffs and other goodies...drop your whatsapp for more details..... Simply amazing. Its very real Or u can pm me

@zimunachimdi, how far gone are u? are the contractions painful? any menstrual-like pains?

Zimumachimdi, you are over 40 weeks?
Have you been checked if your cervix is still shut or not?
Feeling pressure in the anus like you want to poo or like something is pulling on the muscles?
Did you time the contractions? Did the interval increase or decrease?
Are the contractions painful? Accompanied with back or waist pain?

Tested and Trusted ways of inducing labour/ contraction:
- kpekusing.
- exercise: short brisk walks, long leisurely walks, dancing.
- pineapple therapy. The core of Queen's pineapple.
- tip stimulation : rub and roll nipppples to mimic baby suckling.


And yes all those signs are signs of both real labour and unfortunately false labour too.
The only difference is that real labour is regular, increases in intensity and decreases in interval.

mummy zaynie,i am 40wks 4days gone.my last scan at 39wks plus indicated close cervix.
I didnt time it cos it was irregular,and yes the pressure in the anus is like the feeling to poo. The contraction/belly stifness is not painful.

Thanks.

When the baby is on its way out,the head puts pressure on the rectum ( anus) and gives us a strong urge to poo.
You have to time it to know of it was regular or not. You cant know unless you time. Even if it is every one hour.
Have you tried those tips up there?
And true to what Tchwinnie said, you may be having a painless delivery o!

@goldenruby, best bs ever. I key into it oooo
While I was reading it I see myself pass tru same already. Tnx 4 making my day.

My Birth story . According to my first scan and lmp my edd was 15 of may. Later scans gave 16, 19 and the last one I did on the 26 gave me may 31st with baby weighing 3.3kg. When I passed the 40 weeks, I told the midwife at the mission house I was using that can I be induced for labour and her reply was no that I should do more exercises and pray more for natural delivery becos they don't induced labour . When my mum heard about it , she had to force me and dh to go and carry my bag from the mission house and move it to govt health centre where I also use for ANC . At the govt health centre they followed the -2weeks . So to them I was still in my 38 weeks . All this while I haven't seen any sign of labour . So I went for ANC and was told to use a full bottle of Castor oil and come back the next day. When I got home I goggled about it and decided to use half bottle which made me to have diarrhoea. After some hours I saw little muscus plug. At evening time of that same day I went to the clinic and told them I used half bottle . I was told to buy another bottle and use that was why it didn't work . So I bought another one and took it on the 29th of may , Sunday night. After some hours I went to wee and saw a lot o muscus plug discharge and little blood clot. I was very Happy. On the 30th of may I went to the clinic and I was examined. The midwife said my cervix is still closed and was given injection to induce the labour . After the injection, I started having painful contractions. After some hours she checked me again and said cervix is till 0cm but the baby's head has engaged. She adviced us to go back home and do more exercises and to take hot bath and come back at evening time . I got home and did some exercises and headed to the hospital. So this time oxytocin was injected into the drip. Full painful contractions started. The pains was totally different from what I felt with the injections in the morning . After some hours, I was having headache so I told my dh to tell them how I was feeling . Immediately they rushed in to check my bp and it was 190. Throughout my pregnancy my bp has always been btw 100 to 120. So they stopped the drip immediately and I was given some injections to reduce my bp. So they kept checking my bp and the cervix was now 2cm. So the next day which happened to be ANC day at the clinic. After they have attended to those that came. I was told to come Inside and another drip was set. I used the breathing techniques, I tried not to shout and I kept dilating. My bp was checked and was 150/90. I was given another injection again. I was checked and it was 7cm. The matron said I used two pack of oxytocin. Some mins later I felt the urge to poo and I told the nurses I wanted to poo . They told me to poo, I said the poo is too strong to come out . I didn't know it was time for me to push the baby out. I was expecting to hear the word Push. So It was when I heard they are seeing the baby's head that I should push . I told them I don't know how to push that they should teach me. They all laughed . So one of them demonstrated it and I used all my reserved energy to push and the baby slipped out. I was happy and same time relieved. My baby girl came on the 31st of may, weighed 3kg and she gave me perineal tear. It was now time for the placental to come out , it didn't come out. I heard them saying my cervix was closed again. They started praying and doc rushed in to give me another oxytocin injection . The placental gave out 40 minutes after I had my baby and I was stitched. Hours later I went to the bathroom to remove the lady sept that was inserted into my vaginal. A lot of blood came out with it, I complained to the matron she said is normal. So I changed to another new one , few minutes later I stood up and blood was just pouring out from my vg . The doc said I had postpartum haemorrhage and the nurse inserted her hand into my vg and brought out a lot of clotted blood . So I was placed on drip and ferrous injection . I gave birth on tue and was discharged on Friday. I give all glory and thanks to God almighty for keeping myself and my baby alive even though the enemies tried a lot of means. Cc: Thanks to all the mamas here, I gained a lot of experiences and am happy to say thanks. Don't mind my long story I don't know how I can summarise it .

@shawrygal ; I'm glad of your safe delivery .

Welcome back cherrymum1, how is lamide? D lord is ur strength

Congratulations shawrgal.
So happy for u.

ION. See what I saw

Cc: all mamas , am had serious menstral like pain yesterday evening and I took paracetamol , I also lick danacid tablet to subside the pain. Some minutes later the pain went away . But the pain started after I posted my bs. But this time stronger. Is this also part of the post pregnancy package. Has anyone experienced this before. Cc: zaynie , , and other experienced mum. Doc adviced against hot water body massage for now becos of my low Pcv.

iomoge2:
So happy for you mitchyy.

Talking about bath set.
1. I saw one with net on it to hold baby during bath time as a new mum. Has 4 pieces of stuff inside- just bath, bowl. Potty n Lil bucket. 10k

2. saw another one with everything the Nigerian one has, like 11 pieces. made in China . Very strong. White. But no net to hold baby when bathing 11k

3. I also saw the one with a hand held plastic that u fill with water n spray all over baby to have the shower effect. Dunno d price.

Please which one is advisable .

@ iyabetajos, how are U nd Lo, hope getting stronger nd stronger by the day.

iomoge2:

ION. See what I saw

Exactly what my friend told me and i posted it here sometime ago. She pushed her baby out while bending on all fours. Lying on your back is the most painful delivery position but most docs and midwives will never agree. I said it at ANC class and everybody wanted to eat me raw, saying lying on the back is only proper position.

P's. Screen shot of net own.

The one my ex-boss got me has net to hold newborn baby, then a big plastic spa with shower head that you can use to spray all over baby for the shower effect. The plastic can turn the bath tub to jacuzzi for your baby when its connected to the bath tub. And it's about 15k. See pic below...
But if ure considering cost, get that one that has 11 pieces. Just that the net inside, makes bathing baby more convenient

Yesso. You really said it. I was just so happy yesterday. Time to hustle and buy the rest before Hansel pops out.

Pls mamas, i need your input when you all are online.

Last night was terrible. I'm just 34 weeks. I was having severe abdominal pain that comes and goes like contraction but i feel its not contraction because my stomach doesn't get hard and tight. I only feel very strong pain at the lowest part of my stomach and immediately the pain subsides, i let out gas. After some minutes the excrutiating pain comes again and i tried timing it but the timing is very very irregular.
I tried to call my doc but his phone was switched off. I couldnt go to the hospital cus mechanic is working on our car and apart from that, the doc that will be on duty is not an obgyn and is fond of giving wrong prescription.
The pain is just confusing. But when i laid down to sleep, it stopped.
Anyone has an idea what could be wrong?

IMO I don't think anything is wrong. prolly ur body is preparing u soon for the main deal. I think u should take lots of fluid and REST. Give yourself compulsory bedrest, feet up and sleep.
