Hehehehe. I am Tempted to take your offer but right now, I wish I can port to February. Serious pains whenever I take folic acid. It happened the first time I took it then the pains stopped when I continued. Last two days, I skipped it because I have been busy only for me to take it today and the pain na die I now cleaned my nipples because the whitish thing coming out is doing me somehow. Mama the pain that followed ehn and we're just 15weeks o
The second problem is my lower abdomen. If I touch it, the sharp pain I get also ehn . All this is making me want to port to February by magic o and DH is far from me, no one to cry too. It's Not easy but it'll end in praise.
I nominate Habbeyoluwa as our cappo o me no get power or strength. Enjoy your August

PraisesG:

I said as much as possible,just as zobo causes contractions in some,and don't do anything in others or pineapple,etc.
Everyone is different, and too much of everything is bad,so I used ,as much as possible.
I also take when I'm extremely hot,
How are you and kids?

amorprincesa:

Pele teamie , sorry about the pains, that no cry for DH is not funny oo, i can like to complain and whine to DH

Careful not to do anything to the nips again, just leave the whitish stuff if it doesn't go while bathing, drink more than enough water it helps with cramps and pains. Shebi you have started ANT, complain to your Dr but then just rest well, don't stress yourself at all, you are already doing a lot of work growing a human being. Pele teamie to be

My sis we dey the same boat oo, plus i can't "suck belle make shirt fine again" . Like teamie amorprincesa said it is bloating even without fizzy drinks and just little food everywhere will just be tight, is like the tummy is practicing and preparing for the real bump.

Me sef i dey that sprite crew but the ORT version from bfp to like week 8, that and over diluted lemon water were the only things that calmed my highly sensitive system

BS. very long post Alert!!!!
Got pregnant when I wasn't expecting and didn't know until 2months after cos I didn't have morning sickness. Was very upset with dh as if he raped me.
went to my Dr and she said i should see it as God's blessings cos with the kind of irregular cycle (50- 120days) i have its usually difficult to conceive. After then i started thanking God.
Fast forward to 32weeks, I went for my first Drs appointment in the US . my urine sample was taken and the sonographer did scan and said she wasn't going to say anything to me that my Dr will explain to me after, I became curious and i saw she wrote polyhydramnios(too much amniotic fluid). Then my Dr came and said he is very worried about me, that the sugar in my urine is too much and my amniotic fluid is too much (26cm). He then said i needed to come in the next day for my glucose test. I told him I drank plenty orange juice and ate 4slices of bread b4 coming so that would have influenced the result. i tried to reschedule to my next appointment he said i met to have done this test 2months ago in Najia so I'm already late. i went home that day and started drink lemon infused water to reduce the sugar level .
The result came out normal and after weeks of monitoring the amniotic fluid level it miraculously dropped to normal. it was my shiloh request.

My edd was 20th/24th of Dec, I was seriously expecting baby to come earlier since it wasn't my first. both dates passed i became uneasy. was taking long walks, climb stair case, doing exercises, ate 4 whole pineapple and drank raspberry leaf tea still no show instead Braxton Hicks became stronger. At 38weeks VE was done i was 1cm dilated i had hopes cos I started loosing mucus plug but without blood stain, at 39weeks 1 and half cm and membrane sweep was done. i began to get upset . I will cry and lament when dh calls that why is God doing me like this dh just kept encouraging me and praying for God to help me.
After the membrane sweep i was expectant still no show. went for 40weeks appointment still 1cm dilated and another membrane sweep was done. The Dr decided to induce me on the 31st of Dec but I got a call from them saying Induction will take place on the 3rd jan oh I was broken pelvic pain, pressure from baby I could barely walk. At 41weeks i went for another appointment and i was checked and it was 3cm. Dr did another membrane sweep this time it was so painful coupled with the pains around my pelvic. Dr said i want u to do it naturally I don't want to induce u. with that statement i cried to dh that even the Dr knows how painful induction can be. it was then my dh said don't worry u will use Epidural in a worse case scenario. the igbo in me did the conversion of the dollar cost to naira and decided to do without it.
oh God bless @Giddyperson she was a good birth partner, we kept encouraging ourselves all the way.

On the 2nd i read a post on instagram from a friend that said she didn't focus on her Edd but on Gdd (God's delivery date) she had her baby on the 3rd of January 2018 and her Edd was 28th Dec. My spirit just said this is the date.
I was given an antiseptic liquid to bath with 2days b4 the induction all in preparation for the induction , the paper work and questions scared me more(oyibo fit kill person all in the Name of preparing u).

The D-day came i went in for the induction the nurses started guessing and jesting how dilated I was. I was checked and it was 3cm and half. Enema was done to remove poop from my intestine. pitocin drip was administered at 11: 40am and i started feeling tightening in my stomach. she said its not contraction that when i started having contractions i won't be on that bed again she checked and asked if i was having pain I said no. she said she can see the contractions are 10-12mins apart and are pretty regular . After 2hrs she checked and i was 5cm she asked if i wanted Epidural i said no that I can't feel pain. By then the contractions were no 5-7mins apart. Asked of my Dr and they said he is on vacation but his assistant is around. She came in shortly and inserted something and broke my water. Then i started feeling normal menstrual cramps but bearable i just put my mantle on my stomach and was declaring cervix dilate and baby move down now in Jesus. After 2hrs I was checked and they said 7 -8cm and i can no longer take the epidural i was happy I saved that money . The contraction started coming back to back. They went and brought labor ball that I should come sit on it and roll my waist on it to help dilation. i did it for 2mins and went back to my bed cos I could manage the pain better there. Next thing i started feeling the urge to push. i started screaming call my Dr. they said my Dr was sitting outside waiting for everything to be ready. Then an older nurse came in obviously more experienced she checked and said 9cm and half and asked me to lay on my left side. i was still resisting when my friend in the labor room with me gave me eye and said i should cooperate with her that she seems very experienced. I just did and i started feeling my baby . Dr came in and i was asked to push i just pushed forceful twice screaming Jesus and baby came out at 8:54pm. i saw them giving her surgical blade but didn't know when she gave me a cut cos of the labor pain. They took the baby weighed him,the nurses and my friend screamed 10pounds 5ounces and i was like what is that in kg they said 4.6kg. my Drs eyes changed like she won't have allowed vaginal delivery if they knew. The placenta was delivered immediately and the stitching started not so painful though but took awhile. i started shivering uncontrollably other parts of my body was covered except my legs to enable her finish the stitching i started getting impatient cos of the cold and she said she is almost done that I had a 2nd degree tear. Another pitocin drip was administered for like 3hrs contractions continued but not as painful . i asked why they said to contract the uterus back since my baby was very big.
Then the devil wanted to show it ugly sef I felt blood pumping out of my system.i called the nurse she checked but wasn't sure if it was normal she called my Dr and she asked me to hold the 2sides of the bed and she pressed my stomach it was so painful that I grabbed her hands and she was like it's for ur own good so u have to bear unless u want to bleed to death. i said i will not bleed to death. my friend just said think of ur boys and bear. The pressing continued and i was told the pressing will be done every 15minutes. An injection was given i asked for what they said its is like a re-reinforcement for the pitocin . Omo the contraction increased so as to push out the blood so it doesn't gather in my uterus and help the uterus contract back. The stomach pressing time then reduce to every 30mins when they were sure I wasn't bleeding. i was finally moved to postpartum ward at 1am with the pitocin drip. I was given iron supplement and painkiller. It was quite and experience. But above all I thank God of Oyedepo cos He was there.
Music helped me manage the contraction. i kept listening to Onise Iyanu by Nathaniel bassey (anointed musician) that has always been my labor room song. He has always showed me so much mercy .
Signing out till 2022- 2023.

Be submitted Holla. Gracias

Thank you all for your response.

Maybe you don't get enough sleep at night.

Mostly, the vomiting stops at early second trimester but in some cases it might last till delivery.
