BS , So I went for my Thursday antenatal appointment and the crowd was alarming ( thanks to the previous public holiday on Thursday in Lagos). I waited sha till my turn and doctor said since I was 39 weeks 4 days, she will schedule me for induction cos of high bp....previously, my bp has been increasing per week. I had the same issue too with my first. so I was admitted with about 17 patients for the day...9 for cs ,6 for induction, 2 for bed rest....the doctors were already tired by the end of the day and they were on call 8am to 8 am the following day with the hope that they will attend to all of us on Friday.
My catheter for induction couldn't be fixed on Thursday night and no doctor had my time till Friday night....the doctor was harsh to me at first(his nature) and I simply told him to calm down and smile if he is going to attend to me....by Saturday morning, the catheter removed and I was 4 cm....meanwhile, the doctors were not through with the scheduled cs patients (2 to go) so you can imagine the hunger on them.
my water was bursted and contractions started. at about 7cm, naso 2 young midwives entered my labour room .I had this contraction and my hand hit one of them and she hit me back strongly. when the contraction finished, I sent her out and told her I don't want to see her again in that room.
at 10 cm,baby refused to come out after several pushes for over an hour. my pelvic was swollen, the doctors couldn't read my baby's heartbeat and the doctors advised I go for a cs.I was already scared cos I thought I would loss my baby.
the contractions were so much that I couldn't hold back the pushes again. during the section a matron had to push the baby back from my vagiinall and baby came out screaming so much.
naso I suffer hunger strike from Friday afternoon still monday.

Thanks God it ended in praise

I greet u all Mama's and to be Mama's in da house.
I take God beg una. How can one cope with this Morning Sickness?

My dear. It's one of those things in pregnancy. How many weeks are you? The MS usually lasts until the end of your first trimester.

You can try adding some drops of lemon to your water to see if it will help. You can also try crackers and eat in bits instead of whole meals.

Whatever be the case, just know that your baby is fine. Some people spend their 1st trimester taking drip at the hospital cos of inability to keep anything down and yet give birth to healthy babies.

See me that have been doing shakara that I don't have MS. Today, I have been met with metal-like taste in my mouth.

I had to run out now to go and look for agidi and was telling the keke guy that if I don't get it, I won't pay him.

Luckily I saw it and almost fell on my knees in gratitude to God for finding it. I will prepare pepper soup now and get to work on it.

Hopefully, I will be able to eat it as it take hungry me and not lose my appetite as I have come to experience today.

God will help us. The end result is always worth it.

You can try sipping water with a drinking straw.
Chilled slightly sweetened water or just water since yor system is already quite saturated.
Another alternative is to go and receive saline water drips in hospital. Sorry and take care of you.

Sorry for what you are going through but sadly that's how some of us saw our package. You can try to manage it by trying different bland foods like eko without soup, pap, crackers, fried yam without sauce etc until you get something that works for you. You need lots of water pls, try adding lemon slice to your water to see if it would stay. Also try different temperatures of water, warm, cold, ice, hot to see which works for you. If all fails, request for drip at the hospital to keep up your strength.

Sorry dear, let us know how it goes

tutulicious:




Duty calls.

The doctor told me the ward to go to and I went there and informed the nurses so I could get a bed space and I was asked all the questions in this world believe me I was not in the mood of talking I just want sleep but I answer all the questions, I didn't have my card because it was with dh who took my phone and went to God know where I was looking silly.

They finally gave me a bed space and took turns in coming to ask me who asked me to come to the ward. At this point I just want to cry and I asked the nurses if the ward was a fancy hotel that anyone would leave the comfort of their house to come and sleep. I decided to go outside until the doctor came as I turned to leave the doctor came in with another doctor. Nah that time the nurses free me phew.

The doctor advice the test result shows baby's heat rate is low plus my weakly positive ICT, the consultant told me best option nah CS. OK lemme tell dh, took a while before he came nah so we start deliberation he insisted no CS, I no fit drag with man now abeg. OK let's meet the doctor to advice and at the time the consultant was not there, she was sitting on the fence oh. She said both is good chances are 50/50 i no come know weitin to do again i just told dh to call the pastor and tell him. ( we have been having lots of revelation and has been praying for safe delivery). Pastor said do CS I just they thank God as no evil report go happen I no fit hear say baby didn't make it due to stressful labour cut me open comot the picking abeg jejely.

Na so we take do CS oh, the emergency was such that the doctor said baby has to come out today oh the haste was too much, the doctor come tell dh say even if we choose to be induced we go still land for CS as pikin no fit do labour.

At 12:09am 20/03/18 my tall, fair, rich, handsome, holy Ghost filled son was delivered weighing 2.9kg. rhesus positive. He cried weakly. However he was good.

After birth another drama this time it was my Anty she said I didn't tell her I was in labour therefore she no go come hospital can you imagine after safe delivery baby, mother and father is fine no one to help oh Nah so I just they cry oh Nah only her we call say we dey hospital and on emergency CS oh she no send me. everything has been sorted out sha.

I Thank God Almighty for His power shown in my pregnancy.

I thank all members of this forum where I learnt a lot of things even though I posted very little thanks to my Job, also maybe I would have lost this baby as I almost eat pepper soup and agidi as that's only wat I want when I was about 6 weeks, until a mama although she lost her lo reported she had miscarriage and was not sure why and she state she took pepper soup and swallow a day before, believe me my pepper soup and agidi was waiting for me since the night before would have eaten it save for the fact that dh brought rice that night and I was warming up to go and eat my meal before I read it on this forum.

I would like to advice all mothers; please if you are rhesus negative don't joke with it, OK? please do ICT test early I did at 28 and 36 weeks insist on knowing the test result as soon as possible. In my case who knows what would have happened if I waited one more week like the doctor asked me to.

Also follow your instinct, if your spirit say something is wrong follow up, even when Dr. says otherwise seek different opinions of drs./ hospital of course its your pregnancy even your dh can only feel concern he does not wear the shoe.

Right now my son is so attracted/has a bond to/with his father am jealous, maybe because it took almost 12 hours before I held him and his father was first to hold him

cc. Patking ma BS submitted, April mama port to March.

Ma you did so wonderful well plus you are so organised and people oriented and social media guru. God bless you ma.

And every April mama and other mama safe delivery to you all.

And because its our month God will grace all deliveries with His presence In Jesus Name.

Congratulations ma'am, May your Son continue to be a source of joy to you and your family.

Please I have few questions to ask, I'm rhesus negative too and I'm 24weeks gone (period calendar).
I have done the ICT thrice since conception and I tested negative.

Is it possible to still test positive before childbirth? tho I intend going for the test every month.

Can I take the Rhogam shot at 28weeks even if I'm still negative?

When is the best time to take the Rhogam shot?

Thank you and God bless you and yours.

If u dey fear to soak gaari, the solution I have for u is to re-fry it with fry pan, and make it hot, lower the fire very well and keep steering till it becomes very hot, park and spread on a tray and allow it to get cold before keeping it in a bucket or tight container. Just dey fire your gaari anytime u want it. lobatan.

Thank you so much mama, will do just that.

I"m doing fine sis. Tiredness just won't let me go beyond peeping. Plus baby is playing hide and seek with me. He/she doesn't want me to know gender so I can start shopping. I don't fancy buying unisex stuff

How is our bun doing? Hope you are getting enough rest and MS isn't dealing with you?

Congrats to all those who have offloaded. To the waddling mamas, Jehovah shall make it easy for you all
