CovenantBabies:

i can imagine lol. we thank God for this wonderful experience. Abeg at how many weeks do they start kicking?

Deh z for first time mum,u start to notice frm 20weeks, av been noticing movement before then bt d day we clocked 20 weeks was when d kicking bcame consistent and it's actually fun.

@JUMAYIN, Happy Wedding Anniversary. May God continue to bless and keep your home.


Welcome to all newbies, happy bumping.

tchiwinnie:
I think its the other way round o. When baby gives u tear, it's 'scattered', anyhow. bt episuotony us usu neater. Of course, smtyms baby can still gv tear even wt episiotomy esp when d epis wasn't 'generous enuf.

the tear given to me by baby na him dey pain me,it is by the side kind of and deep according to the nurse. D other isnt paining me,i was scared wen i wanted to go the toilet but surprising,i passed it out with ease.

Cc:soonest.

Congrats @ Zimunachindi,
Labour better be friendly according ooo @Mitchy .

I ate moimoi and malt this morning,, and av bin restless since then, I feel like throwing up but is not forthcoming.
Chai am tired biko.

I hate that feeling ehn. The feeling of wanting to throw up. Sometimes i just purposely let it out instead of trying to suppress it. Becos if i dont, my system will never remain the same and i'll be so restless.
I'm really worried o, cus i've been throwing up constantly. Yesterday i threw up twice and its preventing me from taking my routine drugs. For the very first time, i've not taken my pregnacare for 1week straight. God help us

beyedew:


Dnt b scared ok,hv it @d back of ur mind that small children go tru it n dey come out nt to talk of u,there z nutin to fear...
It's usually d contraction that z quite a tin,d poo poo part z just lyk pooping a very strong poop,dnt b surprised,at just 1 push ur LO wil come screaming ....

Lol @strong poop. If its like that, then i think i can try. Don't they have sth like a lubricant they can rub in the cervix, so baby can come out easily sef? Lol

mitchyy:

JUMAYIN:
IT'S OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.....Still fresh in our minds is the day we said,"I DO". The awesome wedding and the honeymoon too. Now 2yrs down the track we are still so much in LOVE. But have found getting along,at times, a little rough but our trust in the Lord is what strengthens our faith and what grows us as a couple in God's amazing grace.

Congratulations ma'am, you will celebrate even 70 years wedding anniversary together joor

Banks give 3 months with pay my dear mama. But I already took mat leave last year. I'm not getting another one this year. My colleagues adviced me not to take maternity without pay because I may not be able to come back with the rate at which banks are retrenching.

This is why I was so worried earlier. I was thinking so hard. But I will just discuss more with hubby to find the best way out. My hubby doesn't want to hear resign... my mum can only stay a month or less, same with MIL. Both of the dads are still alive and will need their wives too
They both did it the last time, ran to meet their husband.

Again it is well.

Mummies here have made great points and advice so I won't go into all they've said. One point I just want to chip in is that whatever you and your Hubby decide, should be purely based on you guys needs and not because of what people might say. You actually mentioned it in your earlier post. No matter what you do in life, people must talk. You can also maybe get both Mums to put in 1month each, 1 comes and the other goes when the first is leaving, that way you have 2months or 3 for baby to get a bit older for crèche.

I also must commend your husband for being a pillar and letting you know that you guys can do it. And yes you can! Calmly and Prayerfully decide. Don't worry it's just a short phase with a duration not a permanent thing. You got this cos God got you.

Mama's in the house.good day o.pls I am a first time mom.i will like to know how can a status of pregnancy be placed on check.how will I regularly know That my baby is o.k.am in my first trimester.
Also,I want to know If d rate at which I eat is normal as I am hungry and eat every 2hours. thank you

you are perfectly okay. I eat small portions every 3 hours. Ensure you get your regular doctors visits and you will get a scan at your ante natal registration. And if you can afford to pay for as many scans to check on your progress . Also see the link below to register for your free weekly newsletter www.babycenter.com

MY BIRTH STORY.
All my EDD past(25 may,31may(lmp) &4th june and no show. I became more apprehensive as i was approaching 41weeks.

41wks was on tue also my ANC. I went to the hospital hoping not to come back till after delivery,but for where...lol. At the hospital,i was checked and everything was ok,though the matron insisted i do pelvic assessement as a ftm. So wednesday was scheduled for it by 3pm.

Wednesday...8th june. Before meeting with the doc,i did 'do as i do' and 'match past' as an exercise for close to 45mins and for the first time,i had funny waist pain and increase in vagina pressure.
Later that day,i met with the doc and on seeing i am already 41wks,he said friday or sat might not past me. I said Amen oooo!. He did the assessment and raptured the membrane in the process. He asked if i had taken cator oil i said no and told him the side effects,he laughed and said it has been an old method of labour induction but if i feel i dont want to take it no problem but that it helps. He also said i should come for induction by friday evening or sat morning if nothing happens. I left the hospital having funny cramp but concluded it was the exercise i did in the morning while still contemplating wether to buy castor oil or not.

11:06pm wednesday...
I was about to off my data connection when i had this menstrual cramp feeling,i immediately said false labour and wanted to remove my mind there and rest but alas! I LIED cos that was the beginning of labour. Intially,i didnt want to time it but menh it got to a point i had to ooo,the interval were at 6,7,5,11,3mins in no particular order. When the contraction comes,i will hold the window protector to ease the pain but for where??,lying down was the worst. I went to the toilet twice,thank God i didnt buy the castor oil again cos i can imagine the scenerio..All these while i was counting down to 5 or 6am,so that we can move to the hospital,there again I LIED!.

3:48am came with a quadruple of pains that so feared my husband and i,this made us to move to the hospital sharply. We arrived at the hospital around 4:10,immediately they checked me and said it is three fingers and asked i walk around to hasten up the labour.

later,i was given drip that made labour to be contant,mehn I saw labour eye to eye that i was looking for june mamas to dash some...lmao. At a point what i was shouting was 'i want to poo,i want to poo poo,acho mu enyu nsi,the nurses said it is never time that i should wait a little,each time the urge to poo comes,i will manage and surpress it.

TIME TO POO/PUSH
By the time i was asked to push,i tried severely no way,i became tired and was just pooping at them,one of the nurses said,madam,u ve to poo the poo now ooo. I was asked to hold my legs and look at my naval,and no raising of my nyash while pushing.
At a point,the nurse told me where the baby's head is is not good that i have to push harder, na so i gather strength and pushed my baby out.
In all,to the Glory of God,my baby came out at 6:57am weighing 4kg. Of cos i had tear,one they gave me and the one baby gave me.

Waddling mamas : LABOUR is REAL AND NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL.

I apologize for my late BS.

congrats o.Am learning everyday sha.This labour story dey fear me sha.God help me o.

Hello mamas pls o is Laridox safe to use for malaria, I am 18 weeks+.

BellaElla:


my dear you are not alone in this, I am in the same situation too, what I intend to do is to take my one month annual leave and resume after one month. I will take the baby and house help to work with me, they would sit somewhere conducive where I can easily check on them every 1 or 2 hours or house help would flash me if baby starts crying. I know it isn't easy but I MUST MAKE IT WORK. I cant resign right now, me and DH are on a project so every penny counts. the baby will be fine. the reality is if you resign you will regret it oooo. you will remember all the ways you could have made it work. I Know God will make it easy for us in Jesus Name. Amen.

Thank you sis. Wonderful encouragement, I really appreciate this.

thank u All for your prayera. nt easy bt God is in control pls help me pray for my husband,d shock really hit him badly and he is really down.I cnt say wat happened to Andre bt carelesness was part of it cos we were abt to b discharched.no matter who i fight in d hospital it wont bring Andre back so i leave all to God and return the praises to him.Howlong do i wait before trying again?i had cs

Eya. ...discuss with hubby first....

Happy wedding anniversary jumayin-may your marriage continue to be a blessing

Iyabetajos: May God comfort your husband and give him the fortitude to bear this loss. And you too madam may you return with a testimony soon.

There's a mama here that tried almost immediately (Nefertitiram) and all went well, she had a beautiful baby girl,so I'd say Flow with your body, heal mentally, may God do wonders for you.

My prayers are with your family

abeg mama's don't over look this

Please look for a tongue scraper and scrape the tongue well. Or you can use cotton wool and paste or salt on her tongue with your hands but then she may bite you! Please don't take it lightly at all. Almost caused my son issues in his nursery school because I didn't pay attention to his dental hygiene on time!

If time is the issue in the mornings ensure you get it done at night when you're home.

Yes I think they do. When my mate had her first baby, she said they applied olive oil to her vagina and the baby came out without any tear. AnywAy her case is different because her aunty was the one that delivered her baby in her hospital.

tchiwinnie:
I think its the other way round o. When baby gives u tear, it's 'scattered', anyhow. bt episuotony us usu neater. Of course, smtyms baby can still gv tear even wt episiotomy esp when d epis wasn't 'generous enuf.
