Febuary mamas hope we are doing great. Other waddling mamas i pray you deliver with ease.

Sorry i have not dropped my bs. My baby is still at neonatal unit. This is the most trying times of my life. Its so traumatic for me seeing my baby on oxygen. I promise to drop my bs as soon as we leave the hospital. Pls mamas continue to pray for us.

I'm doing fine o, went for antenatal today, doctor I saw said I don't need to be induced, he asked me my LMP I told him, he said that's not what they wrote in my card ooo. I told him I was very sure and that the previous doctors always say they're working with my first scan. He said I should relax, that LMP is the most accurate. Na so I skip induction today.

Isorait, we await God's appointed time. May God make it easy for you

BS (long something)

My journey to motherhood
I got married in march 2015 to one Mr Nice guy laik that . The TTC journey began in earnest as i had history of PCOS. The wait started and months soon rolled into years.
After 6 months i knew i had to start doing something. Hubby felt there was no need to rush.
After several tests n rounds of treatments, most doctors advise we still keep trying as he thinks our case wasn't so severe. But i was tired of waiting and so many other things were stalled somehow as i had to consider our TTC state b4 taking any decision. I sacrificed some juicy opportunities in my career ,unable 2do somethings i would wish to do and soon i started feeling all alone...My hubby was all i had.
In March 2018 i set out to take a bold step. To go the IVF route. Things started.. tho hubby felt i was in a rush he was supportive. I had OHSS which made the transfer of embryos postponed but alas upon transfer in the next cycle i got a BFP with 2 fetal poles seen at 6weeks.
I and hubby were overjoyed.

So the wonderful journey began. At a point the other twin was without hearbeat and soon began to vanish (vanishing twin syndrome ) but we were still happy one stayed. Wetin we for do if none remained?

The journey was smooth,no MS, no swelling except 4a growing tummy, no cravings asides the road side food i had always liked. Baby was gentle in the womb too. It was a smooth ride that my bosses had to sometimes remind me i was pregnant.

My hospital was however very careful with management. I got a preventive cerclage at 12weeks n at week 28, i was admitted for fetal lung maturation where i was given steroids to mature baby's lungs in case she came preterm
(All these weren't compulsory but i didn't want to take any chances)
By week 35 I began to feel tired n the reality of the pressure hit me. Sometimes i was scared of opening my leg to get out of bed.

At week 37 i went for my antenatal appointment my doc said he didn't know i was 37weeks as he would have called me to come in for a cs but as it is he would deliver me d next day as he wouldn't want me to fall into labor with my cerclage still in place n didnt want to loosen it since I'll have travel back to my location and didnt want me to fall to labor on the road. I was like.... just laik dat oga calm down first.... i wasnt ready but hubby was already considering it.

We concluded on having the ELCS for precious baby after my 38th week as noone around me wanted to take any chances, i succumbed n leggo of my initial vaginal delivery with epidural plan.

On the D day,i was prepped n so was hubby. I chose hubby to witness the procedure while i watched it on screen too ( i could decide not to watch the screen though) hubby kept asking if i really wasnt feeling d pains from the cuts n pulls. In abt 5mins my baby was brought out weighing 3.4kg n she cried. A beauty to behold. Hubby held me n said "thank you n congratulations you're now a mum" she was brought for me to se. She was taken to neonatal unit 4evaluation while the closing of the incision began That took about 45 minutes or so. When all was done, i was taken back to my room. I had requested for epidural after the CS to relief the pain that comes after CS. This was one of the best decision i made as i was pain free for the next 48hours again.

I was allowed to rest while baby was in neonatal unit n evertime hubby goes there they had to remind him of the time he had spent.

After 3-4 days of monitoring, baby had mild jaundice and was commenced on phototherapy as the levels were increasing. This got me scared n unstable as she was sometimes awake all night n i couldn't get rest. My BP began to increase n i couldn't even sleep. My chest became so heavy. I cried to my satisfaction that i requested for sedation. My emotions were just all over the place. After everything i was fine n baby was fine too n discharged home.

I'll like to say that, if you have access to an health insurance please make use of it. It relieves the financial burden when some surprise treatment springs up.

We thank God for everything in our lives. Please pardon my boring n long write up.

God bless our little ones.

PraisesG:
Cappo Rabluk,how is you?

My dear. I dey fine. V just been weak. Baby has dropped. I no understand my waka again sef. This thing is nor funny.
How u jare

MamaOO:
Part 4

The guy understood me and told me he will try and avoid that situation this time around. But he poked around my back so much that I cried like a baby. Eventually he was able to get the epidural in and I felt some relief. He then gave me a pump and told me to make sure to pump it and give myself another boost once the effects start wearing out. This was around 9pm. I then requested for my nurse to get the on-call OB so he can break my water. That was the beginning of my frustration. They said he was in 2 back to back C-Section and he will show up after he’s done with them. He never showed up until 4:30am Maybe he was hiding from me, who knew. I was so pissed and between 9-4:30am, I only dilated another .5cm. That meant I dilated 1.5cm in 16 hours. I started panicking and thinking I will have to need an emergency c-Section. Eventually the doctor showed up and gave broke my water around 4:45. After he broke the water, the nurse said she will check me in 2 hours cos they don’t want to run the risk of checking too frequently and introducing bacteria into my cervix. Lo and behold, I went from a 5.5cm to 8cm in 2 hours! I was soo happy! She said she was gonna step outside and inform the OB and get the team ready for me. In 15 minutes before she had the chance to come back, I started feeling intense pressure in my vagina, butt, back and lower extremities. It was agony! I woke up by husband and my family friend who were with me in the room and informed them that my body was wanting to push. They thought I was joking but we Sha paged the nurse to come and check the me again and I was indeed completely dilated to a 10 in 15 minutes and ready to have this baby! The doctor ran into the room and they pushed my bed up and everywhere became s beehive of activities.

Side note, because of my earlier traumatic birth experience in 2016, I had been researching ways to make labor easier this time around and the generally accepted consensus to drink red raspberry leaf tea, eat dates and eat pineapples. I got the red raspberry leaf tea on amazon and started drinking it at 31 weeks. I also got the capsules on amazon and I will drink one cup/teabag of the tea in the morning, take 3 capsules of the red raspberry leaf tea in the afternoon and another 3 at night. I continued like that until I got induced at 39 weeks. I also ate 6 giant medjool dates everyday starting at 33weeks. Research said I needed 71g at least everyday for it to have any effect. Those things I did with diligence because I was afraid of a repeat of my first experience.

I’d like to think that my trifecta worked and God also decided to be merciful to me because my epidural worked perfectly and I was able to feel exactly where and when to push. I started pushing at 7:15am and as the first contraction hit, I pushed through that and the head slipped out, second contraction hit and his whole body slipped out! He was born 7:19am and were so in love. The attending OB presser my belly and Placenta came out immediately after. No pains and I just felt it slip out of me. Best of all, I didn’t even tear or bruise and the baby was 8.9lbs! Alhamdulilah, for all His Mercies.
So it was my superstitious self that decided not to jinx myself and report for roll call or announce the pregnancy o. My teammates make una no vex.

Wow. Nice BS my hiding teamie. You're forgiven. God bless you and LO n d family. Cute bobo u have there

MamaOO:
Birth Announcement!!
My Yoruba angel was born this morning February 7, 2019 at 7:19am PST, weighing 8.9lbs, 20.5inches long, Vaginal birth and no tears. He was born within 5 minutes of pushing and between two contractions. God indeed showed up for me.

Cappo Rabluk, abeg no vex for me. I will explain why I no show up for roll call when I share my BS

It's a season of love. You're forgiven.
Congratulations dearie. God bless you, LO n d family. We await your BS.

AmJane:
BA
My beatiful princess arrived on Tuesday Feb 5 through vd weighing 3.2kg. Labour pains no be here. BS coming shortly. Wishing the remaining mamas safe and swift delivery.
Cappo Besea I finally ported to Feb o.
Cc cappo Rabluk.

Wow. Congratulations. 1st to enter my geepee tank. Thank God. May God bless you and LO and d family.

19CannyMum:
But pls on this CS matter, what are the advantages to elective cs?

Is it an old wives tale that recovery period is slower, it's more difficult to get back into shape as per get back your flat tummy, and leaves more history on you e.g plenty stretch marks on tummy especially after several children.

I don't have anything against CS, but I've always assumed VD is more preferable because of these issues above. Hence can't really understand motive for elective cs.

Pls mamas that have done both VD and CS will be nice if you can chook mouth especially wrt recovery period after birth.

CS can either be emergency or elective. While emergency is always a switch from VD when things seems to be going south but
Several things can indicate elective cs. It may be as a result of some anomaly noticed in pregnancy. But if u mean elective cs without indication, it may be as a result of previous cs or just convinience of not waiting till labor starts. Easier planning and ease. Sometimes in Nigeria, an assisted pregnancy may be advised to do a cs. Doctors mostly think its the safest way as anything could go wrong in a normal VD and considering what it took to get the baby cs may be elective.

We're all different....most women prefer to have VD. But it depends on each case and person.

As for me, whatever makes mum and baby healthy and well

Omofranca:
That's the correct way to go my sister; at every stage you should insist on knowing what is happening. You don't need to have a medical background but to be well informed about the IVF process. You also need ask how thick they want your lining to be before the embryo transfer and if they will be prepared to cancel transfer if it's not thick enough.

Nicole, Owner of fertilechickonline had a successful ivf cycle at georges after also having a failed cycle with them. There are still other mamas who can step forward after cycling with them to tell of their experience - good or bad.

Sorry, she had a failed cycle with another clinic. Not georges

Wonderful teamies of an extraordinary love month.
How una dey today.

Sholai we have not heard from you since September. Hope all is well. Whoever knows her should please ask she says hi. All effort to get to her has proved abortive.

gegyna how u de na mama. Pop in and update us.

You two are due this week. I pray for ease for you.

To the rest of my teamies, keep pushing easy. It will soon be over in joy. May we all come back to testify.

Mamas that have dropped, i know vigilante is realest but please put our BS in mind so we can all learn from u and be good seniors.

Peace!!

February mamas

Ayam proud of you pipo. Continue the exercises and walks. Please clean your nipples so they are fit for whenever baby arrives.

Congratulations to yesitsme and estagirl on your babes. May they be all you prayed for and more. May God help with your healing after the CS too.
