Hello mamas, my 3 month old baby hasnt been feeding well on breast milk, each time I nurse him, he's always crying and won't stop until I end up giving him formula (SMA gold) someone said maybe he's not getting enough milk from my breasts so I decided to take pap and other stuffs recommended including getting a breast pump but still not producing enough milk to fill my baby so most times he's on formula and I'm a bit worried about this as we were advised to go on EBF. I breast feed for almost 2hrs some times just to avoid giving formula but he keeps crying. Is there anything else I can do to increase the production? Then what if I continue with the formula, hope it doesn't pose any danger to my baby? Help a first time mum

Nothing will happen to ur baby by giving formula ooo,jxt Mk sure d feeding bottles re always neat nd sterilize nd give enough water to avoid constipations

Try nd be taking all the tn mentioned that helps in BM production too and continue to breastfeed

Abeg don’t starve her oo,just to the needful,no be ur fault

nahzyla:
Please help, my baby makes grunting noises as if catarrh is stuck in her nose, when she sucks its more pronounced and she also makes the grunting noises when she is aeep, she has been doing it everyday since birth, but my mother who is doing omugwo told me it's normal for new born, please has anyone had this experience before?
Baby grunting and breathing loud as if there is mucus stuck at back of nose/throat?
There is no catarrh coming out from her nose, I only noticed the noisy breathing.

You can visit the hospital so they can check ur baby please

MummyHalo:
In addition to the pap, oats, pepper soup and the rest, make sure you are eating your regular food very well. The pap and co are not meant to take the place of your food o. I used to take tea or pap after every meal. Also find time to rest. The breasts are usually fuller when you wake up from a nap.

Exactly

Ihavethingstodo:
Sabi mamas in the house, please suggestions to increase breast milk for my 4 days old baby, the watery pap am taking is not yielding result, please help a concerned mother

The pap shouldn’t be watering now,drink better pap abeg,drink tea,white soup or pepper soup,I read bitter leaf soup helps too,kunu helps too

WetSmoke:
Hmmm. Thank you. I have been told to stop gradually, others say I should stop at once.

You can stop the night own first,if ur baby wake up u give water or tea,not easy oo cos ur baby go cry tire..den gradually stop d day own.

B.S! B.S!
Wow, so it's finally my turn to share a birth story? God is good o.
***clears throat**, *blows air into the microphone*
I got married to the love of my life on 10th April, 2021 although my husband was doing as if he's not interested in babies but me i was abeg. So I guess i was the only one TTCing and since na only me know my fertile window i always journey down to visit hubby with the hope of getting pregnant. I started the TTC journey in June, 2021, kept trying every month until November last year when my mind don commot for the whole thing. I blamed my inability to conceive on the fact that i was living far apart from hubby because of work. So I decided to stop trying till maybe after December, 2021 when i intended resigning from my place of work to re-unite with my husband and then start trying again. But to the glory of God I did not see my Dec period o. I lost it in November but realized it in the first week of Dec. that was how my preggy journey began...
*Sips a cup of juice**
*FIRST TRIMESTER* First trimester got me wondering if I was actually pregnant because I waited earnestly for all the signs and symptoms and morning sickness. But I was disappointed, none showed. No spitting, no vomiting, no too much sleep, no headaches, no sickness, nothing at all except for excessive hunger. I wasn't the eating type before conception but I tripled my food intake and I just couldn't endure hunger for one minute. I eat before leaving the house, I carry plenty food to work and I'll eat dinner twice before sleeping. It was that terrible. I had a threatened miscarriage at 12weeks when I was almost done with the first trimester. To God be the glory my baby chose to stay with me and I decided to register for antenatal immediately.
*SECOND TRIMESTER* This was supposed to be the almighty honeymoon stage but trust me I did not see any honey in the moon as excessive hunger dealt with me continuously. It was very smooth except for the hunger and the weakness that comes with the hunger.
*THIRD TRIMESTER* This stage sincerely for me was a mixture of excitement and fear as I didn't know what to expect but I was hopeful and diligent in obeying the dos and don't of pregnancy. Like taking of routine drugs, consumption of fruits and vegetables etc... Let me also add that the third trimester stage brought some changes in my life like promotion at work place, new and better job for hubby etc. I finally travelled in the last week of July to go meet my husband and to prepare to welcome our baby.
I actually thought my baby would come at 38weeks. (Whatever gave me the assurance) but he didn't. 38wks + to 40wks+ was the hardest time to wait, I was disappointed, angry and anxious coupled with incessant calls from friends and family asking "you don born". Mtcheeew. So annoying

*Fast forward to the delivery*
40wks+5days contraction became more frequent, so I decided to call the hospital to complain. I was asked to come and be checked. I happily dressed up and was hoping I would call hubby from the hospital to bring bag but I was disappointed, they said I was having a false labor. I angrily went home. But the contractions didn't stop. It kept increasing and became more intensed. I sha prepared myself incase of emergency. Hubby got home from work that evening, I told him we might be going to the hospital that night. We already made arrangements with a driver that will carry us to the hospital. The contractions grew stronger and stronger by the minutes and by 2am we left for the hospital. As we got to the hospital, na so one nurse wey no get fear of God wan frustrate us. She no even pity my condition she was busy checking the things I brought and comparing them with the hospital list. "This tissue is small, this cotton wool is not large bla bla bla" after all the blabbing hubby gave her some money she then calm down and I was admitted. I was checked, omo I could swear that I was at least 9cm dilated but noo they said I was only 4cm and I was like "whaaaaaaaaat?"
I was given hot glucose water to be sipping and was told to stand and lean at the pillar at every contraction. I kept awake till 6am. I begged them to check me again, they did and it was just 7cm haaa nawa o. I guess I didn't have a fast labor. The contractions were back to back and didn't stop till 4pm when I started shouting that I wanted to poo lol. All of a sudden I felt my water broke. It poured out once with speed and then my mum in law who later joined me in the hospital rushed and called the nurses and I was hurried into the labor room. They checked and said I was fully dilated and I should let them know whenever it feels like I want to poo. They fixed the drip and other things needed for the project. Lol. I started shouting again "I wantu poo o" the woman asked me to go ahead and poo. I pushed, nothing came out. She said if I want to poo I should hold my ankle and look at my navel (belly button) and then poo. I obeyed. The next push my baby was out crying his lungs out. Sincerely I didn't believe it because I thought we were just starting the labor process so I was expecting to hear "the head is out, push harder etc" but surprisingly two unserious pushes brought out my baby with a little tear. The stitching of that tear happened to be the biggest pain I've ever felt all my life. Afterwards I stood up and was escorted by nurses who were singing my praise and carrying my baby. We went back to the ward, they laid baby beside me, I didn't bother looking at my baby's face. I only laid down on my bed and cried. After much consolation from MIL I then remembered to look at my baby's face and behold the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. He has a very deep dimple like his dad. What more can I say?
To God be the glory. Great things he has done.
Indeed we went, we saw and we have conquered. We are 1 week old today.
Thank you beautiful Mamas and Papas for the show of love and concern during those days that seemed like months. I'm really grateful.
Throwing baby dusts to all TTC mums and swift delivery to all the waddling mamas. The God wey do am for me, go do am for you too.
Thank you everyone.
**Signing out of August, 2022. We'll meet again in 2024. Lol.

PART 2
Now, that Tue evening, I saw one air freshener gel we'v nt used in her bag and it prompted me to deep hand in dat bag. I saw a spag insyd the bag too and she's going very early on Wed mawni,; FF to Wed mawni(5:30am), she dress up, went to d kitchen(dunno wat she's packing) and came to tell me bye so I stand up from d bed and went to d sitting rum to meet her, she was holding a big nylon(with things insyd) and her bag. I can't tell her to bring her bags for checking neither can I tell her to let me see what's in d nylon so I let her go.

I then went to the kitchen to check d spag, noodles and oda tins and I noticed garri, indomie nd spag reduced meaning the spag I saw was from our kitchen, she took the top I called hubby's own away too nd a malt frm the fridge. I was so angry that why ll she do such a tin without asking because honestly if she had ask I ll gv her more than she took, at least am free wit U and didn't complain on anytyn done by U.

My Question now is, hubby jt came back yesterday since Monday that he left for work nd I want to tell him abt it bt dunno how to present it to him because I don't wanna approach d sis myself b4 dem say person do anyhw to her hubby sister(Yoruba tins). How Una think say person fit present such matter abeg or make I just let it slide and ignore it.

At this point she has gone now,u for just confront her immediately,just let it slide or u just use idea nd tell hubby that if you see what (her name)packed when she was going ehn..

Then next time u will know how to follow her if she comes again.

MrHighSea:
I married my friend. We PLANNED, prayed to God and conceived a month after wedding. While dating, she'd downloaded an APP for us to monitor her period. I knew when to do and when not to. The APP was 95% precise. I do use the APP to send her coded message too and make her Hot while we're at work. Normally her monthly visitor do trigger heavy but controlled-vomit. When she missed her period for a week and started running to toilet to vomit saliva, I knew I scored the goal. African-star apple became her breakfast. We woke up one faithful morning to perform the strip test. Road-side lab test confirmed the pregnancy. Madam started complaining that I'm smelling. She'll have headache all through the day. At 2 months, We went together to register for ANC. The drugs obtained further messed her olfactory system.

During 2nd trimester, she was diagnosed and got treated for malaria. Doc prescribed softgel (they don't smell as much). Babe was too beautiful and curvy. I was typing lots of codes via the wonder APP and it was working. She became more emotional and anxious. I'd to reassure her everyday to be positive. She stopped taking PCM for the headaches. I brought home fruits on a daily. She was always having light-flashes. Standing to cook was an herculean task. Young man now became proud chief maid in his house. My 27-year old kid bro became the assistant. He'd added 1+1 and knew what's up. We officially informed our mothers. Come see prayers.

She was told the baby's gender can be ascertained on 20th week. I went with her and baby's blokos (as Doctor called it over and over) was revealed. We now silently call him Doctor Blokos. One day towards the end of 2nd tri, she had series of pooing the previous night, we attributed it to her dinner and excess fruits maybe. At work, pooing came with series of vomiting and weakness. Her family friend and colleague rushed her to hospital. My work is 1.5hrs away. She called that she's heading to see Doctor blokos. I'd all her close colleagues phone number just incase. Went from work to hospital, she was alone, starving, crying on hospital bed. She's been admitted. She's concerned for the baby. Her bump wasn't pronounced. Until nurses read her file, they knew the gravity. Drip lines and injections followed. Scan showed baby is fine. Since I knew, we're spending the night and she was stabilised. I rushed out and back with chicken and bole. Hurriedly, went home and picked some items. Bro cooked and brought us breakfast. Then we went home for bed rest as Doc blokos advised.

During 3rd trimester,  She was consistent with ANC, they even created WHATSAPP group. I used to think, she flexes ANC money, until she said they do perform routine lab test (PCV, blood sugar) She took yoga and twerking pretty serious. I was not happy. Imagine what yoga pants and twerking does to a man, yet, Sex was not on the menu. Her libido just off.  Tho She dey try sometimes sha. I'd to youtube how to perform massage. It was demanded on a daily.

The bump she's been wishing for, suddenly became visible. She was always feeling heat. Whereas, I prefer natural breeze to fan. Duvet don't help. We were always arguing. She'll become sad when I try using guest-room. She started sending everybody on errands. She was behaving like an Emperor. Yet, she was so attractive even people gave her compliment on a steady. MEN WERE EVEN TOASTING HER (so irritating). She was always tired, waddled and hit her legs on everything. She'll demand sorry from whoever is closeby. She said, I and bro should rearrange the parlour the way she likes. She became a Tyrant. She was always late. Food became salty. She even said I shouldn't have a deep sleep so I can wake up when she winces at night because of muscle pull. She'll wake me up to cuddle her. I do go to office earlier than before to catch some źzzs.

We started buying baby items from 2nd tri. She'll say, it's better when she's still strong. We bought things I don't know. Breast pump, breast pads, fancy feeding bottles, bags, assorted creams and antiseptics. I was happy when hospital didn't approve some soaps. My soap bin don finish. She said, I should buy bulky items by myself. I carry her go the place to choose the colour of bath she wants. Ordered wooden baby cot here on NL.


She was scheduled for induction on 19/8/22 by 6pm but our EDD was 7/9/22. Paternal instincts kicked in immediately. I quickly installed washing machine (wedding gift), washed the blinds, assembled the cot then hunt for a suitable bank so we create an education trust fund. Keini was born 9:44am on 20/8/22. He has an upgraded version of my looks. Breast milk flowed same day. He started sucking properly next day. He's with maternal grandparents for the next 2 months before he goes to paternal grandparents for another 1 month. Infants are not as weak as they seem, they have muscles esp arms and legs.

I know, stuffs were inserted into her for induction and had to be sutured after birth. let me get her side of the story. I wasn't in the theatre. Hospital was somewhat affordable. The nurses were kind. .

I literally forced her to write her side of the journey.
Here she goes:

"During one of the routine antenatal visit, at about 36 weeks, I was scheduled to run OGGT and was advised to reduce carbs. The glucose disappeared for a while and resurfaced. Then we were told that our boy will be coming in early by induction.

On Friday, 29th August, we were admitted for the commencement of  induction process.   Here I was lying down on the hospital bed enjoying the AC at the detriment of my husband who is too sensitive to artificial air. I thought it'd be like where you're just injected and labor as they say will begin. I never foresaw the hurdles I was to jump to get to the labor part.

7pm, I was called into theatre 2, where the doctor explained everything he was going to do. Basically, the cervical catheter was going to be inserted in me, that will help soften the cervix for dilation.
First, he was going to examine my cervix before insertion.

There I was lying down naked in the midst of two men and three ladies. My precious body which I so much covered with pride was looked upon, just like that. Within me, I was like "shebi it's just to look inside and put this thing there, I won't even feel anything", before I finished the conversation with myself, I screamed so loud. The pain I experienced was never imagined, I kept screaming and jerking, this man called doctor just invaded my pussy with gloves and no lubricant at all, as if the crowd and the stares into my honeyland was not enough.

The deed was done, and like I was told, I experienced a little spotting. At about 9pm I started feeling pains like menstrual cramps. The deal was that, I'll be dilated to a certain cm, which will give way for the catheter to drop out from my vagina, that would mean that business have started.

3am, I was called back and two small tablets which I don't remember the name were inserted as well. It was a female nurse this time and I thought she would know better to be gentle than force her way inside.
6am came and this thing was ready to drop.

By 7am, I was examined where it was discovered that the catheter was placed way too deep inside and it wouldn't have fallen off on its own. It was discovered that I was 6cm dilated, and we were all waiting for the catheter to drop first.
Observing the frequency of my contractions, the doctor, broke my water and it was like hell was let loose.

Immediately, I was transferred to theatre 1, where I was to give birth. My husband and mother were in confusion of the happenings and were asking me series of questions but I couldn't answer any. Out of nowhere, the doctor said I'll deliver within 2hours. I was screaming every time I had the contractions, but then I'll remember bragging to my husband that I won't shout and scream no matter the degree of pain. Na so my fine girl mode change oooo.

Admidst the pains I could see my husband walking out the hospital gate, and I said to myself "this one don put me for this condition come dey run comot". I didn't blame him sha, knowing his kind of person, I knew he wouldn't withstand it.

After series of contractions, I suddenly felt like shitting. First pregnancy! What did I know?. Fine babe like me, will come and shit in the hospital. Omo! I didn't know that was my son telling me that he's ready to come out.
I was then shown how to position and to push when the baby is pushing as well. What I understood then was "shit the shit wey dey worry you".

First push
Second push
Third push, nothing.
The doctor was explaining what was happening to the midwife. This man was doing lecture on top my vagina.
Push again
And again.
They noticed that the baby's head will surface and go back inside.

Time to shit came again, I positioned myself and started pushing, the shouted that I should continue and not stop (at this point, I remembered the last hot sex I had with the man that was putting me through all these, I remembered telling him "don't stop". So I kept on pushing, baby's head came, but they kept shouting "continue, continue". I obliged and suddenly the pain went away".

God bless Doc blokos. God bless my MIL. God bless you all for sharing your stories, it gave us hope.

Keini sleeping after dinner today.

una BS sweet die,I love how you write,

Thank God for safe delivery ooo,nd God bless DR Blokos...I can only imagine how u guys will be calling him DR Blokos,lol

Welcome baby boy.

;DCalm down Ma,baby go soon show face

Sassy256:
My BS!
Hmm, when I say this child is a testimony, believe me..
This is my third baby, I have a boy and girl 7yrs & 6yrs respectively and the gap between them and this child is neither accidental nor planned! Life happened.
I started planning for 3rd missionary journey when my daughter was less than 2 years old, it took 4 good years complete (Dec, 2017 till Dec, 2021) to find out I was pregnant. If you check my earliest post on this moniker, it was my testimony on TTC thread.
This child was conceived when I had almost given up and decided to face other things and a lot of things just fell in place at the same time.
First trimester was war, I was sick everyday, spitting couldn't eat anything but peppersoup (with uda o, if I don't add uda it won't taste well, so I added in moderation) and Nescafé 3 in 1coffee.
Second trimester was so much better but unfortunately my spitting did not stop but at least I slayed small and libido was a bit high, chai!
Third trimester, tiredness, heaviness everything but I still tried to look good and had small libido until around 35weeks when if I see d..k sef I feel like slapping oga.
From 36 weeks, it became a battle just to stand up, I hated being pregnant at this point o (God forgive me), I appreciated the gift, but everything about being pregnant was just not going well with me again from that time.
My midwife checked me at my 38 +4 appt, after asking some questions, I told her my baby was a bit slow as his movements had reduced a bit, hmm oyibo no dey take chances o, in no time I was at maternity assessment unit, next thing doc said you will be induced.
Go to Delivery suite tomorrow 9am.
9am tuesday I was there.
Pessary was started around 11am, nothing happened. 2nd pessary inserted by 5pm and by 11pm it had worked small so they broke my water and I started contracting.
I had already signed birth plan, and pain relief before this time and I requested for epidural, because the pain I felt in the other two pregnancies scarred me for life. They said the anesthesiologist was in theater and gave me gas to start with.
The gas wasn't helping, soon the epidural guy came, set up the stuff, put their needles etc in my back and told me after 30mins i won't feel anymore pain! E no work!
Me and hubby were discouraged, labour wasn't progressing and they wanted to give me syntocin drip. I told hubby I won't take that drip without epidural, I can't go through that pain of that level of induction again.
As God will have it, that anaesthesiologist went home and another one came, this time a young lady, immediately I saw her my spirit calmed down, I was willing to try again and this time it worked.
You need to see me cruising hot drip without an ounce of pain, I was seeing contractions on the monitor but no pain, I even slept off till I was 9cm dilated.
9cm dilated, baby was still high up, not coming down not getting to 10cm.
They said they will try for me to push, baby refused to come down and his heart rate was going down with every contraction but coming back up again after the contraction, everything was clear on the monitor and they were worried why it was happening.
Doc came and gave us 2 options.
1, assisted delivery with forceps and/ or suction cups
2, CS
We gave consent for CS cos even the forceps delivery many times damage babies shoulder and still ends in CS. Turns out cord was wrapped twice around his neck, that's why he couldn't descend and using forceps to pull him out would have been disastrous but Mercy said No!
My baby was brought out crying loud like town crier weighing 3.41kg, healthy with plenty hair. 17th August, my favourite niece's birthday mate too
Indeed, God has done me well, and I am grateful.

Thank God!
Baby and mama well,congratulations once again Ma

I remember coming here to rant about imaginary contractions a few days earlier not knowing my journey to delivery had started.
Fast forward to 12th Aug...2:15am...I started having those contractions again but this time, they were just below my tummy but no intense. Slept off and woke up by 5am, took my bath, reconfirmed my hospital stuff then woke my little daughter by 6am to take her bath so I could send her to my Sis in-laws house to allow me focus on the task ahead. Woke DH by 7am to let him know I had started contracting but at highly random intervals. Omo the guy went and showered oooo dressed up and came to sit Infront of me. I told him Oga pls just go about your day, I will let you know when it's time to go to the hospital. Oga cancelled all appointments for the day and didn't step an inch. By 9.am, all contractions had stopped so I decided to cook something so there could be food at home if nothing. While rounding up, contractions started again.....20mins interval...I could endure the pain so I stayed back at home cos I didn't want to go to the hospital and spend the whole day there.
8pm...contractions were at 5 mins interval and the pain was growing. Hubby insisted we go so we left. The hospital is about 4mins drive from my house so we got there in no time. I went into the labour ward, was checked and I was 5cm dilated and progressing fine. I was moved to Postnatal ward cos it was empty so I occupied the whole ward. Was told I will be checked again by 2am.
I started having very strong contractions back to back around past 12. Called the nurse and she said we should wait till 2am. The contractions became extremely painful for me to even think...I kept praying and calling on God to help me..by 1:57am, 13th August, I got the strong urge to poo, Hubby's cousin who was with me And I ran to the labour ward. My sight was blur and I could barely walk or see where I was going cos I was in so much pain but somehow I dashed into the labour ward screaming "The baby is coming, I want to Poo, I want to push"...the Nurse said I shouldn't cos I needed to be checked, only for her to put her fingers in and she was touching my baby's head. Then she asked me to push, I pushed. 1st push crowned the babys head then the second push brought the whole body out.

Then the battle for me started. The placenta refused to detach itself from the uterus. The nurse tried and tried, she asked me to cough, I coughed till my lips and throat were dry yet nothing. 30mins after, the placenta wasnt out. The nurse kept trying and trying, to no avail. My baby was totally fine so why would the placenta refuse to detach? I saw fear In the nurses eyes and that of my husband's cousin. I refused to be scared ooo. I told Hubby's Cous to get my phone and play Too Faithful To Fail by Moses Bliss...then I closed my eyes and begged God to show himself at that moment. I reminded him that He can't leave me halfway and I was nothing without Him.
Guys ...God showed up for me and 15mins later, the placenta came out. I kept saying Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus! Then I was told I had a tear and the doctor was to do the stitching. I wondered why a nurse or midwife couldn't just stitch me up since it was a small tear( cos for my 1st daughter, I had an episiotomy and was stitched up by a nurse not a doctor).

The doctor who stitched me up said the nurses made a big mistake by leaving me for too long hence an inward and outward tear that almost got to my cervix...meaning I was fully dilated far before the 2am.
I was just looking at two of them like " shey both of you are mad ni" these are the same people I came to call that i needed to be checked but they refused to check me cos laziness will not allow them to be great.
Mama's pls, if your mind tells you to do something sometimes, pls obey. If I hadn't gotten up and rushed to the labour ward myself, I don't know what my fate or that of my child would have been.
When they finished arguing, they cleaned me up. I jejely came down from that their bed abi stretcher.
They were now forming caring oo..."Can you walk? Are you dizzy?" Do you need help?
I shook my head and asked to see my LO who had already been moved to the side of my bed waiting for me...
The sight of her made me almost forget everything I went through in the past hours..

Last last, I'm happy to say, I came, I saw, I conquered and I wish all bumpy Mama's a successfully delivery...

The placenta part,Kai,thank God for coming through,believing in him and his words is wat we should always hold to..

Nawa for the nurse on duty .
Thank God it ended in praise.
Congratulations Ma

Belovedbaby:
Good afternoon mum's
I am 9weeks pregnant and I have not been eating, anything I eat I do vomit and I am scared,hope it won't affect my baby cus someone told me if I dont eat that my baby won't grow.I have suffered for this baby and please mums I need help on what to do,I have tried everything possible to eat but it's not working.I don't want to loose my baby I need help asap on what to do

Its all because of the morning sickness,some person's own can be severe,nothing will happen to your baby just try and be eating even if its bit by bit,if its fruits that can go down u eat them..

During those days if i drink water after eating i will end up vomiting everytn
Sometimes chill small after eating before u drink water or vice versa..just try and know how it will work for you..

Hopefully by 12th week it will reduce..

Flourishing19:
Oga o. We will testify at the end. I am so hanging boot after this missionary journey. I have experienced a lot of things that were absent in my first pregnancy. I fainted in a public transport facility while returning home from work. Thank God for a sensitive driver. He was the one that poured water on me. He said he sensed I couldn't have slept off just like that. Help me thank God for my life, mamas.

Chai,women we re really going through alot during pregnancy,this ur story just reminded me the day I fainted too in Nysc office in front of many Ajuwayas while wearing my own 7/7 ..
How I fainted i dunno just na my waking up I know cos of plenty pouring of water..

See how ppl clustered around me,lol..

Thank God for your life ooo Mama,very soon na all will be a story..

For me , it hasn't been easy o.
My Edd is September and I am already feeling weighty . I am not adding weight physically o but I feeling the weight of the baby so much that moving my legs is a difficult task.
Stomach acidity is also dealing with Me. Whenever it begins , a side of that stomach will be giving me pains.

I have been seeing some small sizes of mucus plug since last month now , I don't know why . Is it something normal pls ? Is there something I should do ?

Thanks for reading my rant.

Mucus plug with a blood ?or just a discharge?

If there is blood,go and see your Doctoroo

BS! BS!! BS!!!

This one go long small oooo

Beginning
After our wedding, my wife kept having baby fever. She was always sending me IG videos and talking about how cute a baby was, but I dey run. So finally in October(6 months after our wedding) after much discussion & prayer we agreed to start trying, thinking at least by December the baby suppose enter. Next thing, my wife started feeling a bit sick and decided to do a PT(Pregnancy Test) at home. Omo, this baby no calm down. Na that October gangan, e come. E shock me. �

Funny enough we go do blood PT later for one hospital like that, they said it was negative. I’m like shey una dey whine me ni. Something wey I don see for like 3 strips. We go somewhere else to do another test, which turns out positive and we register there for ANC(Antenatal Care).

1st Trimester
Anyways moving on, 1st trimester was something else. Because there was a lot of nausea, and a lot of vomiting, my wife could barely keep anything down. Also, I was doing most of the cooking, so she could not smell what I was cooking if not she won’t eat. She also said I can’t be using my body spray. No be small thing. There was one time she was vomiting so bad, that her throat was hurting, I think she even vomited blood. I kept trying to do what I can to help.

Then 8th Dec, I see my wife on the bathroom floor, vomiting and water pouring on her head. I have never been so scared, I immediately carried her to the hospital. They admitted her, gave her something to stop the vomiting, and IV fluids. After that, things got a bit easier.

2nd Trimester
Then the 2nd trimester my wife was able to eat more, thankfully. Being pregnant in the heat is crazy. Cos we dey on the fan and AC down. She was having a lot of waist and back pain though, so I was doing a lot of massages. We found out the sex of the baby and I was feeling the baby’s movements.

3rd Trimester
3rd trimester, my wife’s appetite increased but she wasn’t gaining more weight. Cos na baby dey chop am. I continued my duty of sorting food and making sure she was comfortable, cos na both of us get the baby. We switched hospitals to one that’s closer to us, to switch sef na wahala cos first hospital dey delay to give us the medical report.

We are in Week 39 and Gynae said if the baby doesn’t come out by Week 41, she will be induced. Omo. Wahalur
Naso we start with pineapples, dates, plenty jogging, yoga & bedroom workout � make the baby come quick quick.
So when we went for week 40 checkup, and the Doctor decided to do a scan to check if there was still enough fluid in the womb, na so baba talk we have to schedule a c-section tomorrow cos the baby is big(like papa�).

I confuse small, but I recompose. They didn’t let my wife even leave with me, they said they will prep her that night. So I went home to get our hospital bags and some food.

Labour day
By 7 am, they start prepping my wife for surgery. 8 am they begin, 8:09 am, the child is out. Every other thing was done before 9 am. Mother & Child are alright, We thank God.

Wow,I just love this sweet father oo,your wife is so lucky to have you..

God bless you abeg..

Great Birth Story..

Congratulations to you and wify...

BS! BS!! BS!!! alert
TTC journey:
Got married Oct 2020,since that time till march no pregnancy got worried and started praying cos of some spiritual revelation, I got a new job and was saving money to run some tests. It wasn't an easy journey cos I and hubby both had medical issues we needed to work on I prayed at midnight with daily confessions until God decided to show up on the month of our one yr anniversary I took in unknowingly, found out in Nov I was pregnant 6weeks gone. My joy knew no bounds,it was a prophesized pregnancy that was revealed to the head of my sch.
Pregnancy journey(FIRST TRIMESTER):
Hmm the day I found out I was preggy it was like knowing triggered the morning sickness ooo,vomitted till four mnth couldn't eat anything unless juice and cold water, it was a trying period hubby was frustrated and was planning on taking me back to Lagos to stay with my mum. I lost weight badly and resembled a dehydrated person. I had threatened miscarriage at 8 weeks. Was given progesterone support to take.
(SECOND TRIMESTER) Morning sickness gradually subsided and I was able to eat was gaining weight slowly and bump began to show still had spotting episode on and off due to the force of my vomiting. Registered for antenatal at 19 weeks and started taking my drugs. Baby kept being hyper active till THIRD TRIMESTER; this is where the real pregnancy package started, swollen vagina ,back ache couldn't walk well.When I entered my delivery month was given castor oil to take at 37weeks I just pooed BT second day of it I had contractions like I wud av given birth DAT day. So I was having on and off contractions till 40weeks + still no active sign,went for photo shoot and trekked some distance,woke up Monday morning with mucus plug. Doc already said he will induce so I got dre he checked I was 3cm and dilating without pain. Cervical ripening was done and at 1-8pm contractions started, I went to the hospital was checked and it was 5cm,all were hoping before Tuesday afternoon I go born. My doc came and checked in the morinig I was 7cm dey broke my water and behold baby has pooed inside dre,at 8cm dey said if I feel the urge to poo I should,me I pooed on the bed cleaned it up and myself. See person wey dey labour Hmm I was stucked at 8cm from DAT day till wed morning, doc said there's something blocking the cervix, I was just confused me wey dey in labour dey dilate with less pain and sleeping ,dey fix hot drip my body became anti drip absorber. When it was wed morning still at 8cm,doc said matron prepare for surgery I was talked to and given a choice of continuing the labour or cs cos the baby has sheet and dey don't want any risk.though her heart was beating fine.We went for scan I called hubby ,doc was trying to check for the mass blocking the place and saw I was 10cm.the man confused he said God what is going on. The devil thought they had me but I had a supernatural God. He almost said I shud endure the labour again BT said let's go and take out the baby. Almost to the theatre door see contractions again na so dem grab me and began operation. I was contracting with the surgery.Baby came out weighing 3kg and av swallowed plenty dirt and poo,no kick ,no cry, doc abandoned me and went to rescue baby. Theatre turn upside down see run here and dre oo,till my baby cried. Prior to the delivery hmmm it was a labour that started well I wasn't shouting just exercising and dilating without pain, I used the supernatural book and said to myself its nothing more than a muscle pull. And that's how I contracted without much pain. Doc said if I had pushed that baby the vagina will just compress a child that has went thru stress.The enemies never wanted me to birth the child so they introduced confusion the doc is a prayerful person and he opted for CS only for devil to take the cervix to 10cm so I can push BT it failed. I am well and fine with my Angel. She's a strong and active baby ,she's holding breast for herself with mummy. A beautiful baby girl that has the whole hospital staff in our ward cos of her.Doctor comes to carry her daily,I really thank God for her life and mine.
God no go shame us,I pray for safe delivery to my remaining teamies and oda mamas.Thanks for all ur prayers and congratulatory messages May God bless you all.
