My pregnancy started as an easy ride to the Glory of God, got my BFP 4 or 5 weeks after wedding. Morning sickness came at six weeks and lasted till 14 weeks thereabout. I had different Edd's varying from 18th to 21st to 25th to 27th but I decided to go with 21st. I was able to work through the pregnancy, took bike through bumpy roads to and fro every day yet God remained faithful. Fast forward to 32 weeks, I did a scan that showed cord around neck, reported at my clinic and was told all was well. At my 34 weeks appointment a doctor saw me and told me I needed to be worried cos I was having painful contractions too. I did a doppler and it showed all was well. However, from 35 weeks I just started having negative feelings and at times I won't feel the baby move for hours. I would tell my husband and he would say I was worrying abou nothing. Due to the corona virus pandemic, the last clinic I attended was at 34 weeks I think. My hospital closed antenatal and were only attending to emergency and labor cases. At 36 weeks I started taking ewedu and chewing 4 dates daily in my mind to prepare my cervix. At 37 weeks plus 1 day, I started having very painful menstrual cramps and I was excited that labour was beginning to start. Two days later I went for scan as I felt there was reduced movement and I still had painful contractions. Scan showed all was well with baby and cervix still closed and my husband was like I told you. That night and the night after I had serious Braxton Hicks and didn't feel baby move all through so I decided to call my doctor that Thursday morning. She told me to report to the hospital immediately, keep track of the movements and keep an open mind regarding CS. We went to the hospital, I was sent for a doppler which came back normal but I was still having contractions, however that particular doppler showed that I had a slightly elevated amount of amniotic fluid. Cervix was checked and was closed so I was admitted to be monitored for contractions. Fetal vitals was checked all through till the following morning and I was to be discharged. The doctor that was to discharge me came around to check fetal vitals and discovered fetal tachycardia. He immediately told me to prepare for emergency CS. He called my husband who had become very scared and told him the things to do and forms to sign. I was moved to labor ward, fetal vitals came back normal again so they strapped me to a CTG machine. It kept showing normal vitals till about 3 hours later when the heart rate started going up and coming down dangerously. I was moved to the theater 12 hours after the first diagnosis was made. While in the theater the devil struck, first spinal anesthesia failed, I was told if the second failed I would be knocked out. Second one was successful an the operating table gave way after with my head almost falling and all the doctors had to quickly grab me. Procedure was successful to the Glory of God. Baby came out screaming his lungs out at 9:11pm weighing 3.2kg. Spinal Headache lasted for days and in all I'm grateful to God for this bundle of joy.

First of all, I want to say thank you lord for the journey, after having a miscarriage(5 months) last year april 20th to be precise, the devil wanted to work on same date this year, all that can go wrong during this pregnancy did, from having threatened abortion to having to go for emergency cerclage at 24weeks, to premature contractions almost every 2weeks, including managing diabetes, in fact this God is too good. At some point I will be scared if my baby will form well and come out very strong and healthy, but in all,I thank God.


April 17th I went for normal antenatal, did urinalysis and went for vitals... My normal bp of 120/80 went up to 170/100.....I was really concerned, although prior to that I had already started secreting mucus plug, my gynae sent for my husband immediately and told him I need to be under close monitoring and if my bp doesnt go down I will be taken to theatre the next day...oga went mute throughout that day, I prayed, called my parents and even brought it here, my parents said if the form isn't signed by my husband they will sign it if it can be mailed to them and so it went on, he didn't say a word, gynae asked for mother in-law, she didn't show up, on Saturday 18th I was told to report morning afternoon and evening to check my bp, it was getting worse infact after the nurses check the doctors will check to confirm and it will even go higher, I was told to go and bring my bags, I waited for hubby to come but he didn't say anything when he came back, mother in-law later called a matron that night to seek second opinion and she was told cs is the only way out to save mother and child, my parents were angry with me that I'm playing with my life cross of hubby and in-laws, in short inter-tribal marriage get as e be.
To cut the long story short, I tried to rest after all the worry but I couldn't, on Sunday around 4am my head was banging and I knew my bp must have gone higher than it was, I didn't wait for hubby I just picked few stuffs and was heading to the hospital to my greatest surprise he followed me and even helped me carry my bag, on getting to the hospital, bp was checked and it was reading 200/120, nurses and docs were shouting, everyone was confused. The next 10mins I was checked again and it went to 210/130, it was just going up, my gynae had to call 4 other doctors from UNTH, I was told we need to deposit 60k for them to start but hubby was no where to be found, I was checked again 220/140, the doctors arrived really early and they decided to check it was 240/130, my gynae said I should be moved to the theatre immediately that we have suffered so much during the pregnancy to loose it when I was just few days to hit 36weeks cos of money, before then I called mother in-law that his son has left me to die and she came in few mins b4 I was moved to the theatre and that was it.

First anaesthesia injection didn't work, I felt the pain when they cut me, after giving me the second one I fainted, I heard voices of people calling my name and snapped back, but then it was as if my whole body went numb including my head, I tried to speak, like I was shouting within me but nobody was hearing me, it was one of the docs that saw my face and said I was dying, I was just shouting, I can't do this, I'm dying, I'm going, God help me and b4 I knew they fixed oxygen to my nostrils and that helped me to breathe well and in few mins I heard my baby crying, hearing her cry just took away all the pains and turmoil, she was cleaned up and showed to me cos I didn't check gender b4 her birth and that was it.

I was stitched back, cleaned and moved to the ward but couldn't speak or talk to anyone until later that evening.

The devil came again baby's glucose level was 12 and that was very low, she was given formula and glucose since I couldn't even move cos of the anaesthesia, all of a sudden baby began to choke, my mother in-law was shouting for help, in my fragile state I kept on asking for my baby but no one was answering me, I managed to pray for God to save my child and give me complete joy, unknown to me they were reviving her with oxygen for 2 straight hours, I couldn't move to look for her cos I'm worried and head is banging, at the end of it all, God did it for me and we are fine, Protocols were broken for my sake and God proved himself mighty.

I am grateful to God for everything and we are 1 week today, treating jaundice though but I know God is working, thank you to all that advised I go for the cs, for all your tips here and to cappo, thank you sweetheart. I have to drop my pen here so I can sleep now that princess is sleeping.


To all those waiting on your big day, God will make it easy for you and to those TTC, God will bless you very soon.

My teamie, how body? Yes oo..... Just like yesterday, Glory be to God. You will be attended to if you have a complain or close to delivery

To the glory of God no complain o, and i still have 2weeks plus before my EDD

So unhappy right now

Don't be sad/unhappy.. Induction is not that bad to start been scared. Just keep been active like talking a long walk, staircase climbing, squatting and some other floor exercises... Keep a positive mind and talk to God and ur baby always. Labor might come before that Friday ooo

cheeketo, lagra, Shemmyglo, mayornmn and other teamNovember abeg come out oooo[/quote]Did I hear u say kpekus? Since Dh score this second goal I no near the thing again, it's so irritating, with all this morning sickness abeg, when I well I will ask for it, bobo self understand, he no even ask.

Morning sickness is gradually improving I must confess, although I have been using a quarter tab of avomine every afternoon as my vomiting usually come in the evening/ night, but I no longer feel nauseous, but I still feel a measure of discomfort sha, and this occassional menstral like cramp, I know am not 100%.

I have been hungry every 2hrs throughout this trimester, failure to eat food not snacks o, will result in vomit, headache, bloating, heartburn and mention any other thing that can ever go wrong, so I have been useless, can't even go to shop, thank God for lockdown everyone would have known by now that I am pregnant, cos I must not be far from food o, and I don't want to buy from food vendors, and even when I see the food nko, no appetite for it, will just force myself to eat, so I won't die of my symptoms. But since Friday or so, I noticed that the constant hunger pangs has reduced now I can stay like 4hrs btw meals and heaven will not fall.

House chores is still on hold, I send my daughter on little erands in the house sha, she can arrange and trash dirts, and can help bring my vomiting bowl and say alot of sorry, lol, she was 3yrs in January, Dh helps in bathing her and cleaning the house, my younger brother takes care of cooking, covid-19 has made him loose his job, so all of us full house, although it might not be sweet we go manage am, I don dey enter kitchen since last week sha, as my energy level increased.

Scan says we will be 13wks on Wednesday, can't wait to start feeling movements o, so I will know baby is fine.
No body answered my question on malaria and typhoid treatment I had early on, if it can affect my baby.

My pregnancy started as an easy ride to the Glory of God, got my BFP 4 or 5 weeks after wedding. Baby came out screaming his lungs out at 9:11pm weighing 3.2kg. Spinal Headache lasted for days and in all I'm grateful to God for this bundle of joy.

Congratulations ma'am, may God continue to protect you and your lo. Thank God.

Congrats on the birth of your child.
Your health and safety is YOUR priority, do not relegate that to anyone else.
You are, unfortunately, in a long term relationship with people of questionable character. It's a human problem not a 'tribe' problem.

Well said. And to think the main problem came from her dh since the mil later showed up. It is well. We should always be careful with decisions we take in life
