MY BIRTH STORY
The pregnancy journey was a smooth one just like my first pregnancy, I had no malaria, nausea, or morning sickness.
So on Thursday 20th of August, exactly 33weeks around 1am I started having contraction, I thought it was false contraction cos i had it two weeks before. The contraction continued till 5am and I couldn’t sleep. When hubby woke up and saw me he was scared, he asked us to start going to the hospital and I told him to relax that it’s false contraction that am just 33weeks. Although have gotten all the baby things but I haven’t arranged it, I said I will do that by ending of the month not knowing baby will surprise me. Please I implore us once you are in third trimester that packing your things, you never can tell. So around 8am we went to the hospital where I registered, it’s a private hospital.
I went in and saw the doctor I told her I was having contraction, she was like contraction ke? At 33 weeks. She now said she will do V.E and when she did I was 4cm dilated. She gave me injection that will aid the lungs of the baby. She now said she has to refer me to another hospital cos the baby will need incubator, I was now getting scared and started praying and telling God that I know he will not fail me and that he brought me this far so he won’t forsake me or leave me half way. I explained to my husband and we went to the hospital we were referred to. We didn’t even go with the baby things because I taught we will just go to the hospital and they will stop the contraction. So when she got to the hospital we were referred to they also referred us to another hospital again, a teaching hospital.
When we got there my liquor was leaking already, I was wheeled to where they do scan the baby was weighing 2.2kg. They also did V.E I was 5cm gone. They asked if it was my first pregnancy I said no, they asked me when I gave birth to my first, I told them it was 40 weeks and 5days. So I was wheeled to the labor room, I think after 2 or 3 hours oxytocin was injected to the drip, labor now started with full force, while I was in the labor room my Mum called me and I spoke to her calmly cos I don’t want her to panick. After 5 hours I got to the labor room I started feeling the urge to push and I was moved to another bed, after two attempts of pushing my baby came out crying out loudly, the doctor was like the baby doesn’t sound like a preterm baby. He weighed 2.5kg and he was okay without incubator. The doctor said maybe I miscalculated my Lmp, I told him am not a baby that my lmp was January 2nd, he na said maybe I was already pregnant before I saw my last period. So time for placenta to come out it refuse to come out, the nurse dip her hand inside to check me she said she can’t even feel it that it’s still far away, I started praying again for God to complete what he started, after 10minutes it came out, I had little tears and it was stitched. My husband was not there, he was told to go and donate blood, so I gave birth before he came back. He was so happy. Eventually there was no need for the blood. My Pcv was 36 % after delivery.
Few minutes later I was moved to the maternity ward, and I started putting the baby to breast. The baby just came as a surprise. I was given a message that God said he deliberately brought the baby earlier to surprise and destroy the plan of those waiting to strike on the day of labor. I bless God for the journey so far. I pray for every mother here that God will make your journey a successful one and you will all deliver safely. And to Gtc this year is your year in Jesus name, baby dust to you all.
Cc October cappo. Thank you all for your prayers, it meant to much to me. My Miracle baby is saying hi to you all.

This is super amazing.We give God all the glory...This prince is so cute and adorable,abeg... Congrats once again,sweet

Team Feb...I lost my 16weeks pregnancy yesterday due to placenta previa...wish all mother's safe delivery.

OMG!!..sorry teamie,,,Ur blessed rainbow baby is on the way by God's Grace... it's well with you

Brownishshuga:
Hello mamas I need your help. I registered for antenatal today and both my blood test and urine test was carried out but my urine came out as protein+++ my bp was 135/65 the doctor wasn’t convinced about my bp and asked I should recheck which still came out as 135/65..she asked if I urinate frequently at night I told her I don’t urinate at time, she also asked if I feel pains when peeing I told her no she said the protein in my urine is very high and I will be needing more tests which I did but the results will be out on Tuesday. I was so worried,panicked aand quickly went for a scan. The lady there didn’t even help matters by saying my baby is folding itself without telling me why. Pls mama help me interpret the scan results I won’t be seeing my doctor till Tuesday.

So sorry for the many typos I’ve been crying since I came back from the hospital I feel so weak and dizzy

Sorry,my sweet teamie...I don't see anything wrong with this test result,,it only indicated that Ur adorable LO is doing fine and well with diameter of 35.2mm and length of 20.5mm plus U're 16wks 5days gone and EDD is Feb 6 2021... About the case of protein+++ in urine plus that BP count, I'm sure Ur doctor will manage u well to avoid the case of pre-eclampsia...Pls,stop crying and don't panic...I'm sure u and Ur LO is in the safe Hands of the Lord...Jz work with Ur doctor... It'll end in praise(amen)

BS BS BS BIRTH STORY

PRE-PREGNANCY:
In October last year I had a miscarriage at 3 months. Started seeing brown discharges with menstrual kinda pain. It was horrible because the tissue took like a week to come out.... Imagine seeing what should have been your child dangling under you when you use the loo and you have no choice than to pull it out. (sorry for the groose picture I painted). The doctor couldn't give any explanation, he just said some pregnancies ain't meant to be.... It was a lose that almost affected me mentally. But I thank God for strength because hubby and I started baby dancing in few weeks after bleeding stopped, I bought almost 15 strip and I use it every morning to check if anything is happening.... And thennnnnn

PREGNANCY:
One evening in 'November/December' I checked and bam I saw a very faint second line. I was so happy that I kept using the strip morning and evening untill the line became thicker by the day. When I was certain, I went to the hospital to inform the doctor... When I got there he confirmed the pregnancy with a scan, afterwards, he sat me down and said, "maddam, do you want me to really treat you so that you can carry to term without miscarriage again? " I nodded my head like an agama lizard, then he goes "you have to be on progesterone injection till 12 weeks" which I had no problem with until he went further to say I will also need a cerclage procedure done because he suspected that my cervix isn't okay that was why I had the previous miscarriage.... Lol! Right there in my head I was like 1. You didn't even do a scan to check if my cervix is okay.
2. When the miscarriage happened you told me it is not meant to be that I was okay medically.

Okaay o. I asked him how much is the caclage, he said 280k. My intestain immediately began doing press up.... Lol. And then I remembered a medical friend telling me "some" private hospital perform this surgery on "some" people that have insurance or are disperate even if they don't need the procedure . It's another way to make cash. And right there I discided to change the hospital and sort another opinion... PLEASE NOTE THAT I'M NOT SAYING IT IS NOT GOOD O... I JUST FOLLOWED MY INTUITION WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. AND NO IT WASN'T TOTALLY BECAUSE OF THE MONEY.

So I changed hospital and told the new doctor about my history and all he said was he will give me a tablet to take till I'm 8 months... Well, I did not take it because I did not have mentral cramp or bleeding and above all I was scared to take any drug apart from pregnancare so my baby won't be deformed.. YES I CAN BE ANNOYING ALMOST ALL THE TIME WITH MY IDEOLOGY lol....

Then one night in my first trimester I had a dream that I lost the pregnancy, the next morning I didn't even take the dream serious until I went to use the loo and BAM I saw blood..... Haaaaaa..... I just fell on the bathroom floor and cried my eyes out, I wept like a baby to Jesus and right there He said the solution is in my hand... I quickly remembered the drug the doctor recommended.... I searched for it but couldn't find any because I always disgard it anytime I leave the hospital... I ran back to the doctor and confessed.... He then assured me that I will be fine... He gave me another dose and I took it till I was 8 month without any belly cramp or bleeding... Though if I forget to take it at night, I usually have stomach cramps during the day.

At 34 weeks, scan showed my baby was getting big 3.2 and the doctor adviced going for another CS if baby was beyond 3.4 because of uterus rupture or something, because of my previous CS... So I opted for elective CS at 40 weeks (I wanted it at 37 weeks self but hubby was like why the rush, let baby cook very well).

THE BIRTH
At 38 weeks, I woke up with cramps... I immediately knew something was up, I wore my running shoes and took a walk for almost an hour 30 minute. Few days before this time I took zobo and I purged so much that I disgarded the rest. Through out the day the pain was increasing so we discided to go to the hospital at 11pm and the young doctor on duty said everything was tight down there and I was not dilating.... We went back home and I couldn't sleep. So at 6am we went back to the hospital, and the morning doctor checked and said I was 6cm....i was so happy eh..... The pain increased and by 10am I was fully dilated the amniotic sack was 'broken', The doctor said she could feel baby and asked me to push, I pushed but they said I wasn't pushing enough but mahn all my energy was gone. Untill a metron came in and felt that baby is still not close enough but I was fully dilated I tried pushing for like 1 hour. And then the unthinkable happened.... When the baby moved during contraction I feel terrible pain as if the baby was rubbing against my previous CS scar. The metron quickly aborted the delivery process and transfered me to the theater for Emergency CS to avoid Uterine Rapture. The surgeon was about an hour late but eventually baby was born at exactly a week before my scheduled CS weighing 2.7. Stayed at the hospital for 4 days, baby had jaundice. She was under the light for a day, it reduced but because of the Pain I was going through I pleaded to be discharged, thankfully they agreed.... In fact the metron gave us the pawpaw recipe and also prescribed a drug..... We have been taking these... And we have seen changes, her eyes isn't yellow anymore, her skin not yellow and she poos often..... Another jaundice test we did yesterday came back with a significant reduced number so we are jaundice free.

I am hereby cutting my boot into pieces and distributing it to all families waiting for such blessings. My August Cappo bamberry (lol) and teamies, I love you all. I had a wonderful August with you guys. Safe and healthy delivery to everyone.

Congrats mama...We thank God for recovery..Kisses to our adorable princess

fab08:
Thank you for the response, since I gave birth, I've been struggling with the milk supply. My breasts dont feel full till now even after taking pap and
I even bought all these lactation products. I also try to pump but will get very little quantity after it, I'm just concerned.. what if am not giving her enough. So thats my reason. I make sure she sucks all d time, am open to suggestions.

There re some mamas like you that doesn't lactate much early into the journey,,,Like a mama told u already,Ur 3weeks old baby can still be okay with ur-not-too-much Breast milk cos their stomach is still small...but since it's u who knows how much Ur BM flow is,,u can jz get baby formula like Aptamil or SMA gold or NAN(There re varieties of good formula btw) BT keep breastfeeding stil...Jz use d formula to supplement..As long as u keep breastfeeding frequently,the flow will be increasing,that u may even ditch the formula later on....Weldone,we shall all reap the fruits of our labor (amen)

princessKF:
Congratulations to new mothers.... today is bumpy tuesday.
With me are my two soldiers, I conceived the first when I joined this thread after recurrent miscarriage and then found out it was the work of hormonal imbalance. I followed some things I read here, prayed every prayer that was dropped and God said amen to it. I miraculously joined team November 2016 but had him in October.

The other was other conceived 8months after his brother and to God be the glory he landed in April 2018.

I am 32weeks and they can't wait to meet their brother.

Mama Zaynie your bobos are now big boys�

This is soooo beautiful...God bless Ur family (amen)...See as bumpy Tuesday dey hungry me,fa..buh my bump isn't really visible yet...Tor, It's well,and I can't wait..

Late Monday prayer..

Lord our heavenly Father, we thank you for bringing us this far in this journey you have blessed us with. We pray that you see us through the end of the journey with our healthy babies and grant us supernatural deliveries and no loses.

We thank you for our August mothers that have welcomed their loved ones so far, we commit the rest of our August mothers into your hands and pray you will be with them in the delivery room and there shall be no loses.

We are going through this journey in a precarious time with a pandemic that's been riddled with job loses and reduced incomes, but we trust that you will provide all that's required to take care of these blessings you have assigned to us to raise.

We commit our ATC mothers into your hands Lord, we know that you have already perfected their testimonies and they will soon come to manifestation for you said none shall be barren, for this we thank you.
Amen.

Amen

This group used to be very lively with daily activities and information some years ago. I've gone through previous pages and seen that some mamas had complained/tried to revive these activities but weren't very successful
Weekly activities used to include
Prayer Monday (Open to all religions/beliefs; mothers and fathers alike lead us in prayers)
Bumpy Tuesday (Mamas share pictures of their growing bumps. For privacy you can choose to cut out your face)
Wednesday is free for any topic/lectures
Thursday thread cuties (mothers/fathers post pictures of their newborns/birthday celebrants and take them down at the end of the day)
Etc

I dont know if other hospitals are like mine that are currently not having antenatal classes due to corona, but it'll help FTMs if the more experienced ones share lectures they can remember on varying topics.

Lets try and revive the thread.

I seconded this..some will juz view and leave with no contribution..we joined this group for a reason,,not juz to view and pass,abeg...

BS BS!
After clocking 40 weeks and 5 days on the 17th of August, I went to the hospital same day which was also my antenatal day, with my box..lol..
I was ready to be induced, I was induced with my first child as well, didn't fall into labour then too.

My gynae was reluctant to admit me, he wanted me to still wait for like 3 days, but I insisted cos I was so tired and maternity leave was already counting.. After much deliberations , he eventually agreed to admit me. He stated the induction will start by 2am. Entered my room at about 4pm..was actually becoming nervous cos I didn't know their induction style in the hospital (didn't use it the first time).
After plenty thinking and prayer, i slept off around 12 am, and at about 2am sharp, the team of inductors knocked on my door and I was legit shivering. I was taken to a general ward where the procedure would be done..they started around 2.30.
1. I was given Castor oil mixed with milk.
2. Buscopan injection
3. A tablet was inserted in my anus.
4. Another tablet in my vagina.
People of God, started feeling the effect around 3am and the labour progressed as I kept dilating..till I reached 8cm and the pain became unbearable..at a point, I removed all my clothes.. And was scratching the wall like a mad woman.. My bumbum was hot.. But the nurses and midwife were god sent..they kept rubbing my back and holding my hand..it got to a point I couldn't walk again..they quickly 'towed' me into the delivery room.

The real show

Immediately i laid down and hung my legs, I started feeling like baby's head was coming with a strong urge to push. They kept checking and telling me not to push yet..I was combining pain with holding urge to push..chai!
After like another 5 mins I was screaming and begging them to let me push, so when they checked again, I was fully dilated and asked to push, after my first attempt, they found out my babys head was big so they cut me(very sharp pain), and the baby came out at exactly 7.30am.
Plus placenta after 2mins..
I was stitched afterwards..very painful as the anesthesia didn't work at all..felt the neddle going in and out of my vagina flesh(crazy pain).
It wasn't easy but worth it.
Baby girl weighed 3.7KG..born on the 18th of August. at 7.30 am.
Safe delivery to all the mothers in waiting.
