Does anyone else find it weird when watsapp people buzz you to tell you you look preggy?. I mean you ignore all other status to tell me that?. How do you respond to that pls I just feel it’s a private/delicate journey not many people need to know about. How do you respond to these foolish questions

Womb watchers association of Nigeria Its your phone, your data, your app, so I feel it is very valid to read and ignore such questions if you don't feel comfortable sharing the info. Another thing that might be helpful is to restrict your status updates so that fewer people have access to them. This has saved me a lot of unnecessary talk so far.

BS part 1
I didn't plan this pregnancy


My BS will include both my pre pregnancy/TTC history and After delivery care . So it'll be very long and will come in batches.

Part 1 (History)

Wow! Following...

19CannyMum:


Don't worry you're almost there. Mine just started reducing this week and is almost gone (almost 2 weeks post-birth)

Wow! I thought it was automatic stopping once baby flies out oh Thanks mama. Kisses to baby.

dbeauty:


Hello mama. Thoughts of you brought me online. How are you guys doing? Me I am seriously having that pelvic pain o.. the edd come Dey look like say e too long sef. Lol.. Jesus is with us. He will make it a smooth and glorious delivery for us in Jesus name...

Wish you all the best.

Awww! Thanks mama and AMEN! I have been distracting myself with movies, hanging out with friends and surfing the internet. The countdown is on...it will all end in praise for all of us.

iamhistreasure:
Happy new year people.Team January how are we coping with the pelvic pains�for me it's so painful that I feel like crying atimes.

Honestly, we are in the same Whatsapp group oh. Just been using prayers to encourage myself in the Lord. Stay positive teamie! We are at the finish line

LeProfessor:


Like stated earlier speak with your doctor about the likelihood of a CS if you opt for VD, then weight your options from there, and just know whatever decision you make is the best decision

Thanks mama!

sugah:

Ok I get....
Unfortunately we don't have those transducers they put on the tummy to monitor fetal heart rate like they do abroad...this would have been a non issue.
I think you should ask the probability of the labour process leading to an emergency CS...from there you can make your decision.
Youd still spend time with your baby regardless. I started breastfeeding my baby immediately I was out of the theatre, only that they had to hand the baby to me cos I was lying on my back in the recovery room. And at the moment the only thing I'm not doing is bathing her cos my MIL is doing that.
But not to downplay it, CS is a major surgery and your body will feel it but if that's the solution to a healthy mother and child dont hesitate to opt for it.

*My only wahala with this CS is not having a shower for 2 weeks *

Thanks for your input... its really helpful to learn about your experience. By the way, 2 weeks will be up before you know it. Hang in there! My next appointment is on Tuesday and I should make a decision then...

sugah:

Pele teamie.
Although I would have thought that with a higher weight will come a bigger pelvic area and easier vaginal delivery...pls follow doctors recommendations.
Ask as many questions as necessary to help ease your fears and concerns. I'm 9 days post CS and the only serious pains I had was from degenerating fibroids...the incision area is pain free (except when they clean it with spirit). But youd need help with care afterwards....someone to help you clean your incision site with spirit and do stuff around the house as you aren't supposed to lift anything heavier than your baby.

Thanks my darling cappo! Hope you're doing great? So what he was saying was that with plus sized preggos, monitoring fetal heart beat and contractions during labour is harder and with the slight bp issues I have, they would need to monitor me as well as possible. I guess what makes the decision harder is that he is still saying I can opt for vaginal birth, as there are no strong indications that I can't go for that. As for after care, in between my husband and my mum, I should be fine if I opt for CS...just worried about having to spend time recovering as opposed to spending time with my baby and being active.

sugarcoatted:


The decision to do cs or try vaginal birth is solely yours. I was given two options, to go for induction or do cs. Everyone except me and hubby said i should try induction first. We decided not to and it was the best decision as my baby was very weak at birth. My baby was big, that was why the gynae gave the advice. You can only be advised, nobody can decide for you


As for the healing period, i guess it defers for different people. Yesterday made it 3weeks i had my cs and i dont feel anything at all. As at 2weeks, the pain was already gone completely.

Thanks for your response mama! Really appreciate it.

Sabi mamas, I want to pop! We are full term this week and I cannot take this pelvic pain any longer Apart from eating dates, walking and za oza room activities, please what else can I do to induce labour naturally?

Also, at my last appointment, the Gynae said he is considering CS for me because of my weight and slight bp issues. However, after a scan we saw that my baby weighed 2.7kg (36 weeks) and he said I should be able to have a vaginal birth. Though he made it clear that he would prefer for me to opt for CS because the stress of vaginal birth might be too much for someone with my weight and slightly high bp. While I am not totally against CS, I am a little worried about the recovery period when compared to vaginal birth. Any advice for me please?

dbeauty:


I thought I was the only one feeling this way o. How are you teamie? You and I are on the same edd? Abeg reason me the week we are in o because scan be doing me ojoro. It will end in praise for all of us in Jesus name.

You're not alone teamie...Let's just keep encouraging each other Apart from pelvic pains and sleeping up and down, I am good oh. We are going to be 36 weeks on Sunday, going by the pregnancy app I use. No worries, I hear that scans can be tricky as full term gets closer. Amen to your prayers!

sugah:

Ameliag:


Amen, We are doing great. Thanks for checking up on us. Baby is moving well and head down according to my last scan. My only issue is how bitter my mouth is and also the throwing up but not as bad as 1st trimester which I am grateful to God for.

Sorry teamie. I still throw up too (though also not as bad as 1st trimester) so I can totally relate. We are almost at the finish line

Hows the waddling going? And the plenty kicks? Is baby head down and engaged already?
All the mamas that have been silent please come out and assure us you are ok.
Meanwhile, I can't believe we are only 18 mamas for January...so after all that lockdown, only 18 of us defied social distancing rules If you are still in hiding please come out and register else na bag of onions we go use accept you

Thanks cappo! The kicks no be here...my princess is giving me gbas gbos. Is there any sure way to know if baby's head is down without a scan? My next antenatal is next week, so hopefully should know by then.

January mamas how are we doing? Long time no roll call
We thank God for bringing us this far, it feels like we are on the home run. Soon we'd be counting down single digits weeks remaining to the arrival of our LOs.
I hope we have started/almost concluded our shopping o...pls don't be like me cos I'm not leading by example. I'm trying to find the shopping list to share especially for FTMs to help with shopping....I'd post as soon as I find it.
Whats our third packages?

Heyyy Cappo! We thank God oh. Seems just like yesterday when I saw the BFP. Shopping is in motion oh...My mum has been amazing, buying so many cute stuff. As for my package, I am always super tired these days and really tempted to stop working so I can get more rest. Pelvic pain is also showing me pepper, coupled with crazy heart burn and some vomitting. Also keeping a close eye on my bp as it seems to be rising these days. In fact, porting is already a prayer point for me...but we give thanks in all.

IamGreen1:


Sorry Mama, we're in the same shoes just that I don't give attention to it at all because I just want to be strong and optimistic about it but I'm in week 36. I pray and I believe that it will end in praise for us.

Amen! Thanks mama

Hey mamas!

Please does anyone have/has had experience dealing with pelvic pain? Been experiencing it since I was about 17 weeks and its getting so unbearable. This describes what I feel accurately - https://www.athletico.com/2012/02/08/pelvic-pain-during-pregnancy-what-is-symphysis-pubic-dysfunction/#:~:text=Are%20you%20pregnant%20and%20having,sides%20of%20the%20pelvis%20meet.

19CannyMum:


Teamie I'm also having these pains/pressure once in a while when walking. And serious back pain sometimes. I was wondering if it's because placenta is anterior.

Anyway I'm happy to see that I'm not alone, so I guess it's just part of our package. I try not to stress myself whenever I'm feeling the pressure.

Awww! So sorry teamie. I feel comforted knowing I am not alone too. I also have back ache, by the mid/lower left side. Tempted to even stop work soon if it does not ease up as I noticed it gets better when I rest A LOT. Please take care of yourself.

sunbestie:
Is normal oo i dey this v.j pains matter. Na ur package be that oo... Am feeling d pains down to my bumbum sef... Kpele just dey manage.

Mehn. The packages are too many oh, I just finished battling vomitting

Mamas, I am only 20 weeks and a few days and I already have pain in my vagina area. Its been on for a week now. Even though the scan says everything is fine, I am so worried as the pain affects my walking and its worse when I turn in bed. I cant even climb high stairs/car steps without feeling pain. Isn't it too early for me to be having this?

We really need to gather on top that your consultant's head. Lol. I claim your heart desire with you. Thanks for checking up. I clocked 19 weeks today and I am just too anxious for a gender reveal. My birthday is tomorrow and I might just go for a scan to try my luck Will keep you all posted teamies!

19CannyMum:


Awww, so sorry teamie. Don't give up hope, the nausea sometimes goes and comes back for a while before really reducing. About 2 weeks ago I still threw up, yesterday I felt a bit nauseous. Just that I can't compare these waves to the initial 1st trimester struggle.

Thanks teamie! True, its not even half as bad as those days. Lol

sugah:

Nausea at this time? hope you're not one of those women that have it all through the pregnancy o...I'd be praying for you so it eases up. Pele.
What kind of stomach discomfort? Stooling?

Thanks a lot. I really hope I am not ohhh. Yes, I have been stooling more frequently.

sugah:
I just realised I haven't taken any pictures yet and its bump Tuesday....

January mamas how are we doing? We are almost half way there , May God continue to make the rest of the journey super easy for us.

Loving your bump! Meanwhile I still have not finished battling nausea and vomitting oh. Also having a lot of stomach discomfort these days I was really looking forward to honeymoon...I don't know why mine has turned out like this.

IamGreen1:


MummyD2020 is on Tuesday and you've to be there as early as 6am because of the crowd. I went there few weeks ago to make enquiry I was told that the registration fee is 17,600 as first timer and the pregnancy weeks will determine if you'll pay more or not while and VD and CS fee is approximately 20,000 and 80,000 consecutively. So I plan to register with them at 33 weeks so I'm currently using private hospital. Safe delivery to us all

Thanks a lot for the info.

MummyD2020:
Good day mamas. I trust we are all pushing real good. Pls I want to ask if anyone knows the ante natal days for igando general hospital. I want to switch from a private to general. I sought the information on Google, but couldn't get any latest gist there(yeye country).It's too boring in the private hospital I registered. Pls its urgent becos I want to start this week. Thanks babes!

URGENT! URGENT!! URGENT!!!

Please mention me if you get a response. Someone encouraged me to register there too. Thanks.

Thanks for checking on us and amen to all your prayers. I am interested in the supernatural delivery book oh. How can you send it please?

MS is fast becoming history for me, thankfully. Just getting headaches every now and then. The oza room activities have picked up too No shopping yet as I am waiting to be sure of gender to get shopping ginger.

January mamas for supernatural delivery. How's everyone doing? Trust all MS/spitting has gone and we are enjoying our second trimester. Any noticeable bumps yet? Baby kicks/flutters? Anyone started shopping yet? anyone else gotten TT injection shots? Anyone been able to check baby's gender?


I got my TT booster shot at my last doctors visit....I'd almost forgotten how uncomfortable that injection was, the injection spot irritated and itched me for almost 3days afterwards. The gyne did a scan to check baby but refused to tell me the gender even though my LO had legs open. He said the gender is either male or female so he's not bothered ...Im not sure if it was the bum I was seeing or the genitals but I didn't see balls so hopefully God has answered my prayers but I'd confirm at my next scan at or before 20weeks.

Opsycal how are you doing? Kindly supply your EDD
Nicoleswizzi how are you doing? Hope you're still observing bed rest and your LO is doing fine?
Iamhistreasure how are you and LO doing now? Are you still on progesterone? I hope the bleeding has stopped and you both are doing great.

I have a soft copy of supernatural delivery book for anyone who wants it. May God make this journey easy for us, there shall be no loses of any kind and may He grant us supernatural delivery, Amen.

Hey mamas and team December 2020

Unfortunately i am no longer in the race. Scan done some weeks ago indicated no fetal pole but with gestational sac and subsequent scan weeks after diagnosed molar pregnancy. A suction curettage was done immediately after the confirmed scan diagnosis, the placenta and fetal tissues removed were sent for histology and analysis to confirm the diagnosis. Results from the histology indeed confirms its molar pregnancy luckily for me it's a partial molar pregnancy (2 sperms fertilizing an egg).

I am sure some may know a thing or two on the rigours and risks associated with molar pregnancy, so as expected i have been advised not to get pregnant for atleast 6 month.

Well i took the whole experience in good fate, at the moment i am primarily focused on my baby girl(she is 8 months old) while also working from home etc. I will Start trying again in January. I believe strongly by God's grace i will be part of team November 2021.

All things are working together for your good mama. Stay strong and please take care of yourself. Sending you lots of love and light.

sugah:

Pele o
The main cause of mine was lack of sleep...so I’ve been consciously trying to sleep earlier but I use paracetamol 2tabs or one tab of Tylenol pm (it has sleeping aid)
Try and find out the cause of the headaches tho...and I don’t think you’re supposed to exceed 6tabs a day

Thanks! I will try. Its 1:14am and my eyes are still wide open...I really want to sleep but can't. I had a webinar at work for about 5 hours so maybe too much screen time caused the headache today. Paracetamol has eased it a bit tho. Thanks again.
