Welcome onboard @asagal

At all, I hope we're all doing great. Good to have you. I abandoned my antenatal drugs few weeks ago when I noticed it usually makes me very weak and useless. I changed routine and started taking at night, same thing. The next day, I'll hardly be able to get up from the bed. I can't cook, clean nor do anything.
I stopped.
I promised myself I'll be taking folic acid only but going near the drugs alone scared me.
I picked up the courage few days ago to resume taking folic acid.

What has your experience been like?

BA/ BS
To the glory of God, I welcomed my Princess on Tues 4th Aug, 2020. EDD was 26th July.

My pregnancy journey was very smooth; no MS, spits, I was glowing and was indeed pampered by hubby. First, Second n even Third trimesters were good to me. I was very strong and glowed all through.
I started panicking After passing my Edd dates. The only thing on my mind was when baby would come out as she already weighed 3.45 at 38 weeks scan. I ate pineapples, dates, walked, did yoga exercises, avoided meals.. chai. The final weeks of my pregnancy wasn't funny atall.
July went by and I said, 'Well Baby wants to be an August baby.' On the 2nd of August after evening stroll with my kid sis, I started having contractions but thought it was Braxton Hicks. Not until I got home and went to ease myself then I saw 'show'. My happiness knew no bounds. I couldn't wait for hubby to be home so I could tell him. The dude really suffered those final times cos I was always unhappy that Baby hadn't come. He came and I shared him the news. We called his brother who is a Medical Doctor. He asked us to wait till the next day bfr going to the hospital.
We got to the hospital at 4pm the next day 3rd Aug. Doctor checked me and I was 6cm dilated. He was happy and said 'Madam, your baby would soon be here.' Before 10pm same night,I was already 8cm with contractions coming back to back. The nurses has done enamel on me so they assured me that whatever pooing feeling I was having was my baby but I shouldn't push yet as I needed to be in at least 9cm.
This was where devil decided to struck. The labour couldn't progress. I was in 8cm from 10pm on the 3rd till 4th. I was almost going mad from untoractions. Doctor said because I was having hard contractions, he didn't want to induce so as not to over stress baby. At some point, he had no option but to put the hot drip. Chai, if u r here and having any issues with ur mother, pls make amends. What women go through to bring babies to life is not a little experience.
Despite the drip, I still wasnt dilating and doctor had to remove it cos of baby. He was coming to check baby's heart beat from time to time. He reminded my hubby of the Pelvimentry xray we didn't do and said probably its the cause.
By noon of 4th, I was already weak and still hadnt gone beyond 8cm! Hubby was crying n praying, same with my mom. I called hubby and told him that I couldnt go through the pains anymore that doctor should come operate on me bfr either I or the baby passes on. With tears in his eyes, he went to the doctor's office, signed the paper and I was taken to the theatre. I learnt Baby was. brought out 15mins later. She had already pooped and the doctor said if we hadnt taken that decision the exact time we did, we might have lost her. Hubby was called to bring me out. We were discharged 6days later.
My Princess is a beauty to behold. I can't stop thanking God for such a wonderful gift. At the end of the day, Mummy is alive, Baby is alive and Daddy is alive. I return all glory unto God Almighty.

when family planning fails, i was craving for bitter leaf soup early Monday morning last week and i kept on looking for it through out the day feeling funny, in the evening i bought pt strip for a sister of mine who was acting funny, one mind told me to try the pt strip since i was behaving funny too lo and behold i saw two double, heavy lines.

This could only be God because, i have a serious condition that i did not need to get pregnant in this time and season. was on family planning that is suppose to expire September 26 2020, but look at me 6 weeks gone. it is well

With my first pregnancy i only felt something close to this around 37 weeks. Baby moves normal as before and we are 29 weeks gone.

Hope u aren't stressing ursef too much?As in,maybe chores or exercises?.. I'm thinking maybe it's Ur body telling u to slow down...But seeing the doc is stil d best bet.... it's well,my dear sis and it'll end in praise

I return all thanks to Almighty God for making it a worthwhile journey for me! Early days of my pregnancy was war, I couldn't eat for d first 4months, couldn't even take prenatal drugs and water was my worse enemy. I thought I was having a girl bcoz d symptoms were nothing like my first, I was so lean and always weak so I stopped going to work in my 4th month....... By d end of d 4th month, I started feeling better, I could tolerate a little food and some smell so I registered for antenatal but as d pregnancy advanced I started feeling "too big" and ppl were scaring me with "hidden twins" kinikan! Me dat have a very active toddler, I started doing scan anyhow just to be sure. By 7th month, I look like someone who will pop soon, infact wen my neighbors don't see me for 2days they will call to ask if "I'm okay"......

D belle just tire me and I'm always dragging myself to do things so I quickly invest in pineapple by 8th month, infact I ate so much pineapple dat my mouth began to ache so bad. I stopped and concluded dat some battles are for the Lord alone. After a while I came back here to complain of on/off contractions, I was waiting for d real deal I didn't know it was getting real. So 2 Sundays back I was having d same on/off contractions coming every one hour, it wasn't painful a bit but it was accompanied by purging like I was practically pooing every hour, it started around 12 midnight so I told hubby I would go to hospital if it persists till morning but hubby was insisting we go right away. It continued till around 5AM then I slept off and woke up hungry around 7:30AM. Hubby asked me to bath and get ready for hospital but I told him d pain is gone, I could rest and go some other day but he kept insisting and I noticed fear in his voice and actions so I succumbed. I told him to take care of our toddler while I go alone, so I prepared and trekked down to d hospital. I even thought of changing my mind on d road since I wasn't feeling anything again, not even d purging but I knew he would be angry so I diverted my journey to my sister's house. We chatted and spent some time together then she advised that I go to d hospital.

On getting to d hospital, Dr said I go to L & D to be checked that purging sometimes indicates labor but I wasn't convinced bcoz I know what I felt with my first but she assured me dat I won't be admitted if it's not labor so my file was sent and followed!! I got d shocker of my life wen I was checked, I was 6CM dilated! My joy no be here, I called hubby to update him and ask him to send in my bag. He shouted "so u for born for my neck" I didn't even mind him, I was placed on normal saline bcoz according to d doctors "I was progressing naturally" I was chatting and listening to music up till 8CM but immediately I got to 8CM it got totally unbearable and I was ready to pull down d whole hospital. I was feeling d urge to poo but d whole hospital attendants were on my neck urging me not to dat I could tear badly but I couldn't bear d pain again, I was sha encouraged but wen it was time to push, I was pooing and d nurses were mocking me saying "dis isn't ur first nah, shebi u were reserving ur strength, oya do it" in my mind I was like "u ppl are talking in d nonsense" d urge to poo came back so strongly and I couldn't resist it dis time around, I was pushing and pooing at d same time then I heard a sharp cry, my oyinbo prince came easy peasy and I felt so much relieved, placenta was birthed few minutes later and I was cleaned up, doctor checked for bleeding and tears but found none!!!

I thank God for doing it beyond my expectations and I also thank mothers here for sharing their wealth of knowledge with us, may God answer all GTC mothers in due time and bring all pregnant mothers to safe delivery.

BS! BS!! BS!!!

This is going to be a long ride, so I'll advice you to grab a seat and probably zobo and popcorn.

Pre-pregnancy

2018, my younger sister died as a result of complications after birthing her twins through Cs. That incident shattered everything in the family. The pains of losing a loved one with taking care of those adorable and the fact that their father and his family acted irresponsible by abandoning the children (story for another day). It was hell!
I went home for break in December 2019 as usual, my parents called me separately to ask me why I've not given my second DD a younger one. I told them at God's appointed time. Me that have sworn not to have another baby after my sister's death not knowing that I was already pregnant, chai!

Pregnancy

I was supposed to see my period on the 12th of December but it did not come and I was not worried because I was experiencing irregular periods before then. So on the 20th, I had to tell my DH and he said I should get a urine test strip. I was like for what nau, maybe na the irregular period again but he convinced me to take the test.
I took the test around 12am the next day, Lo and behold! It was positive. When I saw the two red lines, I screamed. My mum rushed out of her room shouting kilode,Kilode? I just sat down on the toilet floor crying. My mom saw the strip and sighed. She took me to her room and my dad joined us. They both prayed for me, telling me they understood my fears and that because my sister died doesn't mean I'll die like that too. that everyone have their own destinies and it's never the same. I took the pregnancy in good faith even though I stopped talking to DH for days that he had to come down to see me. He was just begging me not to be angry (as if no be together we do the do) lol.

1st trimester

Chai! This phase dealt with me no be small. Can't eat well even though I never vomit for once but I did not just have appetite. I was only comfortable taking cold soft drinks and junks. Around the 9th week, I had a threatened abortion. I was spotting blood for like one week. Had to be on bed rest for some time.

2nd trimester

This phase was wonderful. Got my appetite back and enough kpekusing during this phase. I glowed here Abeg.

3rd trimester

Hmmm, here, the fear came back but I did not let it get to me. I was speaking positive words to my baby and telling him that I'm dying to meet him. Tiredness, backache and headaches were my companion during this period. The stress of work, moving to the new site and arranging the house was something I can't describe but in all, I give God almighty all the glory.
On the 4th of August, I went for antenatal. DH said I should call when I'm done so he'll come over to pick me up but I didn't call. I trekked from FMC to my SIL's house as I already knew that's where dh Will be waiting for my call.
On 5th, I was having serious Braxton Hicks and thick white discharge but I didn't take it serious as there's no trace of blood. Around 6pm, the menstrual cramps-like pains started, I was enduring it till 9:10pm when I told DH that it's like labour have started o. He quickly called his eldest sister that we'll be bringing the kids to sleep over. I went to have a warm bath and gathered my hospital things. We got to the hospital at exactly 11.40pm, the nurse checked me and I was 7cm. The contractions were coming back to back. The way I was groaning ehn! She told the doctor to rupture my membrane but the doctor said until he eat first. Oh! I hated the doctor instantly (told him to his face after the whole show and he apologized). I called the nurse and begged her to help me and she did by stretching me (I don't know how she did it sha) then she ruptured the membrane by herself and asked me to push at the next contraction. My people, I pushed o but instead of baby to come out na poo I dey poo o. The nurse kept telling me to calm down and not panic (God bless that woman wherever she is). To cut the long story short sha, my prince came out at about 12:27am 6th August weighing 3.6kg with little tear. Baby came out but didn't cry. I started crying o and shouting he's not crying ooo. The nurse was like ha! Calm down nau, let me get the placenta out first. For where? Before you know it, I don stand up. But he cried before I put my legs down. The nurses were just looking at me. Me ma dey look them back. Ha! God forbid, 9months journey. Placenta came out, I was cleaned and sutured. After the birth of my son, Bp refused to go down. I was reading 160/100. I was placed on admission for monitoring. Drugs were prescribed and Bp dropped to 130/90.
We are home now and doing fine. May God almighty protect our kids and see the remaining mamas through with swift and easy delivery.
To the ttc mamas, may God meet you at your point of need. You'll all have reasons to rejoice soon.
