the stories are not, it makes you prepare and knows what to expect when the time comes. I remember when I wanted to go for hsg, my dear, i google it ooo but from the comments some said it's not painful that they even went about their normal work after the procedure. My dear, that thing called hsg is painful, for more than three days my jajaina was paining me. The doc even have the mind to tell to come back the next cycle for a repeat. So the stories should be raw and uncut

But my HSG experience was really not painful. It was just an uncomfortable feeling and I did go about my business, after the procedure as though nothing happened. Didn't even bleed afterwards as some people claim they do. HSG was nothing to me. But if you talk about HTB (Hydrotubation), ehennn...that one got me seeing the angels. But not HSG. I guess we really all just react differently to things....Like one mama was talking about TT injection of all things hurting her and I was like wha in da...??

agree, the way we react to pain differ. I can't stand injection of any type but when I give birth to my first child i did not feel any pains. The nurses and midwife were amazed. I just pray that this one will be sooooooo easy

Ehennn, people can easily think this is filtered too...A whole birth process...painless.. But it is what it is. People are so soooo different.

Oh Lord, I pray for the same experience.

Abeg make una know vex o, my tori go long o, cos wanna start 4rm the beginning o.
Part 1
I was prep 4 my intro late 2015, when I started having Lower abs pains, I started going 4 scans, hvs n all, taking antibiotics, still same until after my intro Jan last year , a dr tolD me to start trying, so I did but was always once in a while since dh n I stays separately. A day after my registry was so sick went 4 scan n series of test n was told my appendix has tripled n has to be removed that's 2weeks to my wedding, the dr insist it has to be removed to avoid stories that touches the heart, so we did a day after my registry, it wasn't easy at all o, a week after I was discharged I started feeling sick, 3days to my wedding that's less than 2weeks after the surgery, it was soo bad until I did pt n it came out positive, we were soo excited but scared, wedding went well but I was patched up, cos I stopped taking drugs, I was throwing up, my incision site was bringing out pus, tnk God 4 my life, I was so scared my baby won't come out fine cos of all the antibiotics.

Part 2
1st trim was hell, I throw up all the time, feel dizzy, I perceive everytin, everyting irritates me, I was also taking care of my incision site, no appetite, it was so bad,my hair was out of place, I no see road, I no even know were my make up kit was sef.. 2nd trim was ok, I do shakara small, incision site had closed up. 3rd trim started, another wahala, my lo was soo active. I felt every kick,twist,turns n all, at a point I wasn't comfy with it again, I had to pray 4 grace n then lo was always kicking my incision site. Sometimes I come online to spill my mind n even cc some mama's but got no response xept 4rm dunni (sorry if I didn't spell ur moniker well) so I became an active peeper, but became frnds to suzy offline..
Part 3

My hubby n mum were so angry that it took them 2days to tell us the truth. that was how we were referred cos the other private hsp I reg is far. As we reach we 1st collect card n I was taking to the sonographer 4 scan na him they talk say baby's heartbeat than drop that we have to bring him out that minute, na him my dh they worried, he signed concept form n paid, they rushed me in n within 10min my prince was brot out, hmmmmm...Wetin my eye see 4 that theatre I no fit talk am o. the nurses took my baby to his dad, he told me baby wasn't crying nor moving, he was beating, still nothing, my mum had started crying.

Awwww she's such a cutie

Congrats darling

Thanks mummy twins

Giddyperson:
Yay my teamies are back from the village Welcome back. Mydreams25, your tests are probably just routine and would come out fine, Dharyour1234, prettmum, I can see able mamas have answered your questions. Titony1 I see I still skipped your name in subsequent roll calls, I'm a bad cappo, so sorry about that, pls supply me your EDD and baby gender. Sorry about the bumbum pain. Ahnie, how's the baby doing.

Sansa143, be strong, all the drama would still be a thing of the past someday. As for the birth stories, if they scare you, think that 15 year old girls have also done it

Btw I think I'm going to inquire about epidurals at the hospital today just to know all my options

Congrats to all mamas who have given birth and dropped birth stories. January mamas, time to start commoting from the road, so that team April can be moving closer .
Another roll call coming up soon since you guys have returned from hibernation.

I pray for everyone experiencing any form of pain in their bodies, for the healing hand of God to bless us with a stress free third trimester as it's fast approaching.

Thanks mama n Amen to your prayers. EDD April 20th, gender still unknown baby's position @ d last scan couldn't allow Doc determine it.

My incision site never brought out pus o. I'm not sure it that's normal

Cc zaynie

Pls, mama's that did cs, my insicion site still brings out pus and it's 2wks plus now, I just finished my last dose of ampiclox, but still draining out pus, the dr at the hospital says it's normal, I clean every Morin n evening with spirit n apply penicillin. Abeg is this normal.. abeg pls, don't ignore o..

I have had 2 HSG experiences. The first one was extremely painful after the procedure I could not walk well and I spotted bright red blood For two weeks, had fibroids then.
The second experience was some months after surgery. I was prepared for the worse, I took red wine before heading for the procedure, I went from work, put the wine in an opaque bottle and sipped away. This time I only felt a little discomfort while the dye was being pumped. I went back to work immediately after., and didn't bleed at all.

As for HTB, I had it about 7 weeks after surgery, it was painful. When the pain was unbearable I was given an injection to relieve me. The HTB pain is worse than HSG.

I have had abdominal surgery. Clean regularly. I was told then to clean up to 4 times a day. Don't cover up your incision site, let air touch it. Wear loose clothing and high waisted panties if at all you want to wear, I was not. I was mostly just tieing wrapper on my chest.

PUS IS NOT NORMAL.

Thank you all for the mentions, I really appreciate and A big AMEN to all your prayers toward my princess.
