zaynie:



Contractions feel like menstrual cramps.
It starts from under your belly and you find your tummy hardening. You may also feel some back pain or leg pain.
It differs from Braxton Hicks cos it's more painful.
Real labour usually involves regular contractions. Like every hour or every 30 minutes or every 10 minutes and usually lasts for the same time say 30 seconds every 10 minutes.
The pain also keeps rising and doesn't subside even when you take a nap or rest.
When you are like 10 minutes apart in contractions, please begin to head to the hospital.

Thetherapist:
Oh! So my lovely princess arrived on Monday 8th as against EDD of 30th September weighing 3.3kg.

My BS
Pregnancy was hitch free except for morning sickness that did not last the first trimester. EDD lapse and I wasn't feeling anything.so doctor said I should report for induction of labour at 41 weeks. 2 days to the said 41 weeks, I started seeing blood stain with leaking amniotic fluid. Reported to the hospital @ 41 weeks as planned and was already 4cm gone. I was assisted for membrane rupture and the contraction became more intense. By 3pm. I was checked and was only 5cm gone. Haaa! If I could report to the hospital with 4cm, then 9am to 3pm, all I had was 1cm. I requested to have an emergency CS and the doctors decline. Said queue for surgery was much. So they augmented labour and at 6pm, I was still at 5cm with real pain. When I couldn't bear the pain again, my sister in law made an arrangement for epidural and I was administered. Few hours later, I reached 10cm but baby wasn't coming out. They kept on saying baby head has not crown. They kept on asking me to push, but for every push, nah poo dey come out. Baby was later assisted using vacuum extractor. Then devil won struck again. Placenta was delivered and I started bleeding. The two doctors and nurses were already running around. U know that hospital med team commotion things. At the end the bleeding was arrested and I was sutured as I had episiotomy done. In all, I give thanks to Almighty Allah for giving me a second chance to live. Baby, daddy and mummy is saying thank you to all Nairaland mama for helping us out through the course of this journey. We all remaining mamas would deliver safely inshalla and all TTC mums shall carry there LO sooner than they expect

TEAM OCTOBER 2018

Guys you're quiet these days ó.
Let's come out and make some noise.
Have you taken your early morning walk?
ANC is now on a weekly basis so feel free to ask questions from your Dr.
Check what facilities they have to cater for a jaundiced newborn, take a look at their NICU, blood bank etc. We won't need it by God's grace but we need all the reassurance we can get.
I'm sure bags are packed. Don't forget to get a wrapper as that would be most comfortable the first few days.
Have you been cleaning your nipps? Scrub those dark and crusty stuff off it, we don't want baby ingesting it.
I'm sure you have all downloaded the contraction timer app. It will help to distinguish between real and false labour.
Remember to have no fear, our body was made to do this. Women have been birthing easily and successfully since time immemorial, ours will not be different. It will be easier and faster.
Do your squats, tidy up the house, put finishing touches, make your hair, always have credit on your phone, have a driver at hand, use your drugs èsp the fesolate and don't stop praying.
May our joy not be cut short.


Big congrats to this week's announcement.

Alright, thanks

tatacherie:

Take your bath using apple cider vinegar as anticeptic( pls do not ingest)
Avoid using sponge for now to avoid spreading
For the spots when you deliver you can apply betnovate on the spots only, it will clear them off like magic

zaynie:


Awwwww
I can imagine the pain but in a week it should be gone. Let's hope the newborn is spared from this.
No drugs for chickenpox ó, just keep rubbing your calamine lotion and feeling fly

cutiereborn:
Happy Anniversary Mummy Zaynie!
Wishing you guys more fruitful years ahead

Anitaamich:
Good morning mummies... please my baby is weighing 2.2kg at 35 weeks. Please is the weight normal, my doctor said it’s nothing to worry about but I feel it’s on the low side, what can I do about it please?

Owiizzy:
Good morning all. I'm not very happy o. I complained about spotting last week. So the spotting continued n was even worse as the Dr told me it's too early to give any drugs. So I went for another scan on Monday and I will told no fetal signs seen, blighted ovum /anembryonic gestation. That I should go for evacuation. That's how I lost my pregnancy at 7weeks . I'm so down. I don't know what to do.
