BS! BS!! BS!!!
Long post alert. Grab a bucket of popcorn.

I had my court wedding in August and decided to start trying for a baby after the traditional wedding in October. Fast forward to December when we traveled for Christmas celebration I was unable to participate in the activities due to tiredness, I then told my DH that I needed to do a pregnancy test... It came out positive. I've never seen my DH so happy

January came and on the 2nd,i started having cramps, I went to the hospital and my pregnancy was confirmed with blood test. The doctor also assured me that the cramps was normal in early pregnancy. By the time I got back home from the hospital, I started spotting and by the next day the cramps had increased with bleeding this time. I went back to the hospital and requested for a scan. To cut the long story short, I lost the pregnancy
I cried all through the night but thank God for my DH and sweet sister-in-law.
Prior to the pregnancy, I've been taking my folic acid religiously and the still continued through the miscarriage.
My Doctor also advised that we start trying again as soon as I feel up to it since we both don't have any complications.

By February, my DH asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I told him a two thick lines on my PT strip and we prayed about it with faith.
Few days to my birthday, I became sick, I did the home PT and it came out negative I was discouraged but I didn't loose hope. The sickness persisted with very high fever at night but I refused go to the hospital and didn't take any medication too.

My birthday passed, I was still sick, cough and catarrh won't let me be(thank God it wasn't covid time ), DH encouraged me to test again but because I didn't want the negative result to weigh me down, I kept on postponing and gave excuses.
One morning, I decided to summon courage to test since I have been having same symptoms as I did with the first pregnancy and viola... It came out positive. I was happy about it but was scared because of the previous miscarriage.

First trimester was tough for me, I threw up all through, (on the street, at work) couldn't eat all the things I loved. At around week 9 of my pregnancy, I was admitted in the hospital but that didn't stop my sickness (the lockdown really favored me sha).

Second trimester was the best, though I get irritated easily and didn't like some people getting close to me I was very active even at work.

Then came the almighty third trimester and we were still alright, I didn't miss work aside my antenatal days. My office is on the 3rd floor and toilet is on the 4th floor and 2nd floor but as I couldn't but urinate na, I took it in good faith and also used it as an avenue to exercise.
At 34 weeks, I went for scan and baby weighed 2.3kg then I told myself that this baby must not weigh more than 3kg at birth then I became selective with food.
At 36, it was dawned on me that I was pregnant, stairs climbing became tedious, my walking steps were like that of a duck with pelvic pain.
At 37 weeks, I started feeling cramps and back pain but was still going to work.
Then on the 18th of September the pain was intense and I was advised to go to the hospital. I went as advised and was examined but the doctor said the cervix was still closed and was so I was given paracetamol
The next day, I still went to work but I was very late and immediately I entered, my boss knew something was wrong with me and told me to go home. I applied for my maternity leave before leaving work that day.
Starting from that night, my DH got me loads of pineapples and I started taking it with the ewedu juice (that ewedu juice disgusts me) but I didn't stop taking it morning and night.
I took evening walks and danced before bedtime too.

Fast forward to 25th of September which happens to be my normal antenatal day, I went to the hospital and saw the doctor and told him how I was feeling, he examined me and said I was 2cm dilated... My heart skipped, he said I will be admitted.

I was admitted and on the next VE, I saw lots of brownish discharge on the nurse's glove and she said I was still 2cm dilated but I should tell my husband to bring my bag. That's how I slept at the hospital with 2cm oh.

The next day which was the deal day came, the nurses came to call me for VE but was scared of going because of the discomfort. When I eventually went around 10am, I was 4cm dilated and the doctor told nurse they'll start the drip in an hour.
Around 10:15, doctor changed his mind and told me he wanted to break my water. Then the nurse brought that wicked drip Chai... My vision got blurred immediately
Labour pain no be beans oh, at some point I begged them to let me talk to my husband so that he can sign for CS
I can't begin to explain all that happened and all I said while in labour.
At around 2:30, I was asked to push when I have the urge to, so I did and on the third push my prince was out and all the pain was gone, I felt relieved and plancenta followed.
I was stitched and cleaned up and my baby was brought to me. He weighed 3.2kg.


Childbirth is really divine, may God bless all mothers and plenty baby dust to all TTC mothers. May you carry your bundle of joy soon in Jesus' name. To all our belleful mothers, there shall be no loss in Jesus' name.

Today is our first wedding anniversary and we have our baby as a gift.

Every Child is a Blessing

BS BS BS BS

Discovering I was pregnant was the hardest pill I had to swallow, came with alot of mixed feelings, abort or not, do strenuous stuffs so I would miscarry, name it, but God's plans are surely not ours. Zi my DS was already on my neck for a sibling even before I discovered I was pregnant. So after much thinking, I decided to let the will of God prevail.

On purpose I didn't take any prenatals, I was care-free and I guess if my life wasn't also at stake in pregnancy, I maybe might not have registered for antenatal. It took plenty talks and advice from my neighbors before I dragged myself to a private hospital for registration at almost 26weeks.

Even when I felt I had zero love for my foetus, I still found myself doing scan almost every Saturday or whenever I felt reduced movement. As the pregnancy progressed and kicks became more visible, I knelt down and cried to God for mercy. Early pregnancy I wished for miscarriage around 25weeks down, I wished for foetal death and here I was at 28weeks praying and revoking every bad intentions I had for him. For every kicks and nudges, I fell more inlove, Zi would kiss my tummy every night and even when he doesn't know what we were expecting, he would say *GOODNIGHT BABY BROTHER*

I started baby shopping around that 28/30weeks and I kept making positive declarations. Around my 32weeks, a friend adviced me to register in the General hospital incase of emergency that I know I had to be extra careful so I can stay alive for Zi. She said I needed to deliver in General where facilities are top notch with more experienced Doctors, I jokingly told her to relax that I will have a sexy delivery in my house and I won't be needing both the Private I registered and the General.

It was as if my village people was just whispering to everybody on my behalf o and my neighbors kuku started there own wahala. The day I told them I was going to register in the General hospital, on my way, I changed my mind and went to a Primary health Care center instead and registered. The nurse checked me and was like I was 28weeks meanwhile I was over 33weeks plus, walai fear begin catch me. I left there and went for scan immediately and it back dated me by 1week, I stayed there and started crying bitterly o.

One woman there met me and was like she will recommend a good midwife that she is a matron in General hospital so she can check me still. I happily collected the number and booked appointment with the woman the next day. The following day came, see heavy rain, I couldn't go and that was how she kuku told me she was going to be busy d whole week. I just kept praying and kicks kept reassuring me all was well.

Oneday, I got a call from d midwife telling me to come over to her place that she was free, so I went, told her my history of early birth, most times exactly 4weeks before my Edd. She didn't check me, only gave me malaria drugs and that was how I started treating malaria o. 2weeks after the treatment I started having contractions that were not really frequent. I expected to deliver maybe around 6th Sept judging from previous births but as that day passed, I told myself that maybe this baby is really going to be an October born. Around Sept 15th, the contraction became more frequent and intense, I contacted the midwife and she said she was busy at the hospital that I should time it and come to General if need be that she will attend to me (Chai God bless her for me, she really took me as a daughter). After the call, seems baby heard d busy call and decided to calm down for me, naso contraction take stop o.

LABOUR

Woke up Sunday 20th Sept with serious cold, I was really shivering and even with the duvet on my body, d cold was intense. I quickly called the midwife and she was like thank God she is off today, that she will come see me immediately after church service. I lay in bed cause of cold for over 3hours and when I finally got up to pee, I saw my mucous plug staring at me in d loo.

I called her again and told her it's like am in labour o, funny thing when I saw the show, the cold varnished . Then came this strong contractions that were hitting me back to back. Midwife finally came by past 2pm and when she checked she was like I was just 2cm and my cervix was very thick upon the whole pains I was feeling chai. She now gave me an injection Sha which to her was supposed to soften the cervix. She asked if I would follow her to her house or to the hospital and I said No, Mommy I want to deliver at home.

Few minutes after the injection the pain became more intensed and she only checks me after every 4hours. For every time she checked, she didn't say if I was progressing or not, naso so lie down and rolling on the floor I was doing, or walking on all fours. My female neighbors came with advices, exercise o, walk around the compound, Mommy Zi shey wey warned u to be doing frequent walking and strolling. All those advice na for deaf ears o, I was just lying down on the floor shouting when it hits me and rested when it stopped.

By 8pm, she checked again and still said nothing, instead she gave me another dose of the injection and inserted misoprostol for me. She was like Sweetie please try walk around small for me na, Haaaa, I got up, left my sitting room and just before I could get to the gate, I don lose wrapper lie down for ground begin shout again. All this while I was in pains, I kept praying for my son, God please may I give birth to a living Child, Lord am sorry.

As soon as they saw wrapper don reach floor and I was on d bare ground again, they rushed, covered me up and took me back to my house. She was like I should jex lie on my side that I would dilate just fine God willing and if by morning I don't have my baby, we would head to the hospital for emergency Cs. I vomited a couple of times and refused all the food my neighbors brought for me. B.Daddy brought peppersoup and I managed to take a little, brethren that was how contractions stopped o.

I was even saying thank God in my mind cause the pain I was feeling was on another realm, jeezzz, midwife was like haaa that contraction shouldn't stop o but let's watch it. After about an hour, the stuff came back with full re-enforcement, naso she go use pillow cover my mouth that I was disturbing people's sleep. Oh my Zi, I heard him started praying, that was when I remembered I even had someone to stay strong for. He will say God please make my mommy to stop crying Amen, God please bring my baby brother Amen. That was the strength I needed, I stopped shouting and joined him in prayers too.

Around 4pm, Living Faith Pastor called me cause my neighbor told him earlier that day that I was in labour and he should pray for me which he did, he called to know if I had delivered and when they told him no, he asked for the bottle of coke in my house, he prayed on it over the phone and said they should sprinkle it on my body and give me some to drink. I was weak and at a point I started shouting at the midwife, CAN'T YOU TELL ME HOW MANY CM ALREADY NAA , WHEN WILL I GET TO THE PUSHING STAGE

She was calm all through and said once she sets hot drip for me I should know it's almost close, that with the pain I was feeling, hot drip would worsen it. She was jex talking naso I begin vomit again, for my sitting room, this time I couldn't run to the toilet or bring a bucket. After vomiting, I lay down on my vomit. All my female neighbors were doing the labour vigilante with me, throwing all form of sorry and it will soon be over sympathy.

Immediately I lay on my vomit, she came and checked me again, didn't say a word, next thing she asked for my Nightingale, she spread it on the floor and asked me to lie down, brethren I forgot how to lie down, I was then shouting MOMMY I WANT TO STAND UP OOO . Sha I finally lay down and she burst my waters, and started setting the hot drip. She kept looking for my vein ehnnn each time she finds it and choke it in, I will drag it out , the one that finally entered, even kuku shifted but I didn't mind, the pain was bigger than my hand that was swelling due to the drip.

She noticed it and quickly turned the drip off and was like SHEY YOU SAID YOU CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO THE PUSHING STAGE NOW E DON SET YOU ARE CAUSING ME MORE TROUBLES and was like haaaa mommy e don reach? Naso I begin push ooo, I saw her pour anointing oil on my veejay Sha and with the next push, she screamed Jeeezzz see cord o, she put her hand and immediately cut the cord and fiam my Prince charming flew out screaming his lungs out. Na then me kon begin laugh and with his cries I couldn't stop singing praises. Plancenta was removed and I kuku catwalk to the bathroom and had a warm shower bath, cleaned myself up while they cleaned baby, home delivery sweet o.

Zi ran out from the room as soon as he heard the baby's cry, yeaaa it ended in praise and baby was named today.

Welcome to our lives Zayden Soluzochukwu, I love you and I know you and your brother Zi will make me proud.

BS done and dusted.

BS
It all started on the 10th of sept when I went for my 38 weeks appointment I was 38+1 my OB did a cervical check and said I was 2-3cm dilated and I asked for for membrane sweep which I did with my first son and it worked but after 5 days was expecting this one to be the same, after the sweep I didn’t feel anything so I thought it won’t work so got home did the usual then thought of dancing and doing the labor activating exercise on YouTube but got tired after few moves but did more later.
At around 6pm I started feeling tightening but was very mild which I started losing my mucus plug(bloody show) as well I went to bed and woke up at night to more tightening but we’re not consistent so went back to sleep, by morning on the 11th they became strong and time-able by 2 pm they became stronger ranging between 4-5 minutes apart but I couldn’t go to the hospital because we were waiting for my friend to come watch my son which she will be off work by 6pm I waited for that long by this time contractions were 2 minutes apart when she finally arrived at 6:30pm. So we got to the hospital at 7pm got checked again and was 4cm and my water leaking so got admitted, at 8pm I was checked again and was 5cm my water broke like 5 minutes later came to know baby boy pass meconium, after my water broke my God the pain was so much I almost got the epidural but my amazing nurse and hubby encouraged me that I could do it because I told them I really really want to have him naturally.
By 9:30pm I was at 7cm and by 10pm I was at a 10cm and felt the urge to push, pushed 3 times and out he came at 10:05pm screaming... He weigh 6lbs 5oz and was perfect Alhamdulillah... We get to go home the next day 12th sept

BS BS BS!!!!!!

It’s going to be a long read, so grab a drink and popcorn let’s roll..

Prepregnancy Journey!!

After our wedding last year, I took in almost immediately. It was a beautiful surprise and I went about my business as usual. My office is on the second floor so I run up and down the stairs care-freely, within me I’ll always say I’m pregnant not disabled. It was my first pregnancy so I knew nothing about the do’s and dont’s In pregnancy.

Fast forward to mid June, I started noticing little drops of blood and when I Googled, I read it’s normal in some early pregnancies so I shoved it off (I regret doing that deep down). Late June my tummy started paining me, DH and I rushed to the hospital and after the scan, the doctor said it was threatened abortion and prescribed BED REST!!!!
I left the hospital and went to work, it’s my office so I said I’ll just go lye there. Not too long after I got to the office, the pain became intense and I called DH to come pick me up.
I could barely lift myself so I was carried straight to the hospital. Long and short I lost the pregnancy!!! Oh how I never stopped blaming myself. I blamed it on the pineapples, the stairs, my over dependence on google etc.

We began trying to conceive again. Unlike the first, I was so looking forward to a missed period. The doctor advised I could take folic acid that it helps to conceive. My mamas in the house, could you believe I mistakenly swapped my folic acid with my white vitamins C
Like I always used juice to take every single one of vit C thinking it was folic acid till December!!!
I have a very strong phobia for drugs so I use fruit drinks as a support system( don’t mind me)

Fast forward to December after I saw my period yet again, I went to the doctor and she gave us CHLOMID drug and told us to take it during my ovulation days. Unfortunately DH was to travel on the day 2 of my ovulation so we backtracked the drugs. I practically gave up within me and said we’ll try the coming month. To the Glory of God I took in still and the rest is history.

Last trimester

I started having fluctuating BP here and there. On Monday 14th Sept. i went for my usual ANC and my BP read 142/85. The nurse insisted I see a doctor. The doctor asked me to run series of tests and scan. The scan said the fluid is inadequate though not completely low. The doctor looked at me and said Madam, you’ll be induced tomorrow. Go bring your bag. Oh my whole self crashed within immediately. I cried and called DH to come to the hospital and hear what the doctors are saying.

He came and immediately did the blood donation thing. I was admitted on Tuesday and around 8pm the catheter was inserted ( that pain is not of this world) on Wednesday evening it was removed and the doctor said I was 4cm!!
I was like okay we’re making progress!! Wednesday night through Thursday contractions set in. First it wasn’t consistent, then it became 5mins apart. I just can’t explain that pain.
I was in labour from from then till Friday morning after much pleas to the nurses to come check me.

On Friday morning the doctor came, checked again and said I was still 4cm. They where now almost proceeding to administering oxytocin when all of a sudden they stopped and decided to check on Fetal Heart beat. They weren’t getting the required number I figured. Three other doctors came and rechecked, they said same thing as well. Immediately I was told I’ll be wheeled to the theater. According to the doctor, if they keep waiting for labour to progress, my baby wouldn’t survive it.

Long story short, my baby came out so weak and was given oxygen. Asides that she is In perfect condition. God saved us and I’m most grateful.

The sutured part is bringing out liquid after I removed the plaster and that has been my worry.
I was told to keep cleaning with spirit but I think I’ll be going back tomorrow for proper check up.

Sorry for the long story, cappo @ threegees
Bs submitted. Safe delivery to all mamas!!

Congrats mama,we're grateful it end in praise..Sorry about the sutured part,Ur doctor will know how best to help with it... kisses to our princess

BS!

BFP
So, while dressing up for a training that fateful January morning, I realized my period was meant to have showed up. I made a mental note to pad up so it does not disgrace me at the training. Just as I was pulling out the pad, I saw one remaining pregnancy test strip in the bag (hubby and I actively tried two months before and after 6days of delayed period and false hope, aunt flo came in torrents; reason I still had an available test strip). I just decided to use this last one and dispose so I could put my mind to rest. Tested, placed on top of the pack on the table and went ahead to finish up dressing. One look at the test strip and I saw two huge lines staring at me... Jesus! My very first BFP... Wao... Was I really prepared for this? Next was to call hubby and we both called my mom... yen yen yen (you know the drill...the oohhs and ahhhhs and do's and don'ts). Blood test and abdominopelvic ultrasound were all positive with the good news.

First Trimester
Mehn, first trimester came with lots of nausea and tiredness, no vomiting though... I could only take sprite and fanta for a whole day. On some other days, I craved something and went all the way to find it on such days, no matter the stress ooo. One time like that, my craving was sniffing mint money, lol... Hubby had to change money to mint ni, I go just arrange am for purse, small time, I go comot am to inhale... chei God! Aside some of these silly things, first trimester was somewhat uneventful and I commenced ANC at 10wks +6days (EDD: 11th September, 2020).

Second trimester
Second trimester came with spitting which stopped after a while. Then came the excruciating pains of myoma degeneration... kai... ended up in the hospital and there started my journey into using opiods to stop the pains when they start. This was about the 18th week and that was when I was told I was going to have a princess. Appetite improved and I rested the most part. When we were about rounding off, my feet started swelling, though no other symptom of preeclampsia was on the radar. So I just cruised past.


Third Trimester
I was quite expectant. I actually felt I would port to August sincerely cos my bump was big sha, at least compared to my slim frame. I finished packing my bags by week 32. Eh he, thirst from nowhere... I was drinking water on a regular, each trip to quench my thirst saw me downing nothing less than two chilled satchet water and in a day, I could finish 10-12 satchets of water or more. Frequency in urination and insomnia started full time... I was so jealous watching Hubby sleep most nights, lol.
Anyway, August jejely passed me by, so my porting dream died a natural death. Hehe!


Labour and Delivery
Woke up on Sunday 6th September, 2020 about 5am and realized I was having contractions at 39wks + 4days. the contraction timer app on my phone showed it was somewhat regular initially, then just became irregular most times. So by 6am, woke Hubby up and we went for a long walk. Came back, rushed and made food but nausea could not let me eat well and having vomited the week before also while eating Sunday rice, I was scared of vomiting again(I usually do not vomit).We had some errands to run so we set out but with my bags in the car. I insisted on a brief stop at the hospital first before we started our wakawaka. Got there, my cervix could only admit the tip of the finger... yuck... on top this discomfort! Okay ooo. Sha, show started dropping after the examination. I was advised not to travel far though and to come in if anything changes.
By the time we were leaving the first place to the second that evening, na better pain dey worry me though contractions were still irregular. By 9pm, I could not bear it any longer, had my bath and left with Hubby to the hospital. Brethren, I was just 2cm gone... oh Lord! I sha told them I rather stay the night than go back home and was admitted for observation. Had contractions throughout the night, could not sleep... Hubby was there all through (God bless that man everyday!) rubbing my back and praying. I practically had to beg him to get some sleep which he succumbed to almost at dawn. I was hopeful that we should have made progress as per dilation by Monday morning (7th September, 2020). My dears, morning came and I was just about 4cm. Dear Lord! Infact, contractions stopped just before that examination. My obstetrician just told me he was going to augment labour... haaa, me sef know how painful that stuff can be just by observing my own patients... I just laughed and told him I was not prepared for it. He just said he'd send for me later. Men and brethren, I was sent for ooo and misoprostol tabs inserted... within 15mins, the real madness started... there was no breathing space, the contractions were just hitting me back to back... no position could make it better... I lay down on the hospital floor, knelt down, walked on all fours, lai lai... the tears started flowing, I was shaking the hospital bed eh... Christ! I remember telling my lovely husband he should not touch me again, to avoid slap... next moment, I was apologizing, lol. I saw myself going into another realm... just told hubby to go tell the doctor to section me. My doctor sent for me, I was taken to the labour room, behold, I was 8cm gone within one hour. Next thing, these people set up an infusion and added oxytocin to it... I just asked my doctor "Chief, do you want to kill me?" Kai... poo catch me by force, but I had pooed twice way earlier that morning and there was actually nothing to poo again, lol. Within 15mins, I was fully dilated, they were encouraging me to push but nah, at that point, I was exhausted... very exhausted. I just could not. I only kept saying "please section me"... my obstetrician begged, encouraged, said he could see baby's head... I just could not... I was not seeing anymore, I just wanted to sleep and I begged them to let me sleep. So I was taken to the theatre and knocked off with general anesthesia (I travelled to the US and was performing surgery on someone sef, lol). When I started coming to, I was being stitched up. Over time, my eyes became less heavy and I could open them well and communicate coherently. By the second day, I was walking around though the pains sha. My princess weighed 3.7kg at birth (2.7kg was estimated fetal weight on my 36wks obstetric ultrasound...I was hoping las las, we no go pass 3.2kg at birth...for where?)
Currently still healing... baby colics be keeping us awake at night... but we are surviving.

Baby dust to all TTC mothers!
Bye team September. God will make it easy for all of us both in childbirth and in upbringing. Amen!

cc mayluv... BS submitted!

Wow... Congrats,mama...Speedy recovery and kisses to our princess
