BS.:
You see this man upstairs i neva see him kind o!
I want to say a big thank you to all wonderful mommas on here.
In the past couple of weeks i was on meds to manage early contractions.
On Saturday 9th April I and my family moved into a project we we working on( i didnt do anything stressful) my hubby did the moving.
By night i had the most painful back to back contractions. Told hubby i felt baby wasn't ready to wait any longer.
On Sunday had guest come in to visit by past midnight i had a membrane rupture. Small of my fluids started to pass. I checked into the hospital 10mins later and was giving steroids.

My doctor came in 7am to assess thgs and since i was booked to have a scheduled c-section for May 1st cos of plenty issues. He decided to go for an emergency csection cos the fluid would stop and then start to leak.

During the surgery the team lead had to ask his partner to leave me and help the nurse resuscitate my son...for a while tot we lost him but God Almighty showed up in his usual way. My son had asphyxia. All i heard was another nurse rush in to say the paediatrician just arrived. He was actually away on a trip and for some reason felt he needed to be around.

I'm gradually recovering, my son is off oxygen and phototherapy. We are homeeee!

BA:

This cord around baby's neck, what usually caused it abeg, does scan sees it and how do DRs detect since sum hospitals don't use d right instrument. My boss too had same issue and was placed on CS. She went for antenatal and d Dr test her and just told her d baby heart beat is too fast and dey had to do CS immediately, seeing d baby, d cord is already on his neck and datz wat cause d rate of d heartbeat. The instrument she said was used was not used in general hospital(dey still use the old method) and she hasn't done a recent scan b4 delivery because she didnt plan for it as at dat tym (reason y I cldnt ask if scan do sees it from her) so plssss senior mamas, make Una help answer dos 3 ques abeg

U can read up on nuchal cord. Nothg real causes it o! Yes, during an ultrasound scan esp if ur sonologist has a 3rd eyes.
Babies play alot in there so u can imagine... na skiping rope nah.

Present ooòo! I have been reading up. Officially tired honestly. Been having contractions aldo since 24weeks but it has been very painful in the last couple of weeks.

LO wants to port to April o! Even though I have been booked for an elective c-section. Presently on nifedipine to relax contractions and stop from going into preterm labour.
So far so good no contractions since starting the meds.

BS

This pregnancy was the toughest for me,I hardly sleep well,seeing that I needed the baby to properly heal from the death of my mum and mum in-law I hanged on. I started ANC early I never missed my appointment,getting closer date was picked but I wasn't comfortable with it reason I can't explain. Some weeks ago we changed the date to 28/3,I went to the hospital got prepared and went into the theater after some minutes baby was delivered, his cry was loud enough.



Waking up Dr told me that upon opening me up he discovered the cord was almost strangling the baby of which no one knows how long it has been there. Within 3hrs after the birth he started changing color if the oxygen is removed because he was placed on oxygen as the near strangling might have caused shortage of oxygen in his system. He was monitored for 24hrs with no improvement rather he was having fast breathing with noise and his heart was as if it will jump out of his skin,we quickly took him to LifeLine Children Hospital Surulere but unfortunately we lost him on the way to the hospital. They said he had congenital heart disorder which if the surgery is successful the chances of living a normal life will be near impossible. I can't question God all I ask is for strength to move on with the leaking boobs and baby things staring at me and no baby to use them. I have questions but no one can answer me.


I pray we will not cast our young,no pregnant woman here will carry pregnancy and not nurse the child.

May you all carry to them and deliver successfully and to our GTC sisters fear not for your testimony is here.

Sending u lots of love and a big hug.

MamaDG:
Good evening mamas. Let me rant a little. Ibotan, don’t know the English name is really doing me shege. I’m not so fat so I don’t understand why it won’t allow me walk. Please am I the only one experiencing this.

Secondly I was referred to an elderly gynecologist/ snr consultant to discuss about my decision to go for tubal ligation when having my ECS. This man disagrees and was advising me as a father. Please this will be my third CS, 3rd child. I don’t want to go through any mistake that will make them open me up again after this but this man makes me feel I’ll be doing myself harm if I eventually agree to it. He has asked my hubby to consent to it. I have been thinking of Im making the right decision since I got home. Mothers what do u generally think about tubal ligation or anyone u know that has gone through it. Any side effect I should be worried of?

So this is my 4th and since i have been booked for ECS ( pih, panic and anxiety attacks) and the way this belle show me ... i requested for BTL. In short i have always shouted it while on admission early this year.
Yes, they would sèek your husband's consent. Mine was okayed by the First OB cos he calculated based on my age, number and gender of kids... it gives a score tgeyvuse to chk if its ok. The second wanted to kick against it saying i was young but explained there was no side effects.


I really why they don't ask men to do the famil planning thgy sef.

sugarcoatted:


If it was 'affordable' dont you think a lot of people would be using it instead of going through the whole delivery pain?

I doubt...Most hospitals invite the anesthesiologist from general hospitals. The stress and time factor.
They will come up with all manner or excuse so you don't request epidural.

In all Nigeria is still coming up in medicine. My own thots

Toopee:
My hospital quoted 360k and I’ve told God to make it easy, fast and smooth for me.

Like seriously? Epidural shouldn't be more than or btw 50/70k

Then i use coconut oil to rub his enter body... Dasol ooo. 4 d umbilical cord... Avoid water touching it n use spirit to clean it... D tin will dry up immediately n come right off.... I used dis spirit below to clean baby's cord, n its off d forth day.

In love with Johnson's cottontouch. Trying vanilla oat this time around.

Once you get a good methylated spirit with regular clean the cord comes off earlier.
I get spirit from the hospital after my firat experience with fake spirit.

Senorita222:
Goodday mamas pls how can one boost pcv very fast am 22wks + and pcv is 28 is there a chance it will increase before 39weeks, am taking blood tonic capsules.


I was placed on tothema
Then momsy usually send me "blood of Jesus leaves"
Increase your vegetables intake and liver
If you can access beetroot...blend and drink
I hope this helped

Also go easy on beetroot to avoid excessively lowering blood pressure.

Ifyjos:
Please doctor in the house I am four months pregnant and I feel strong stomach pain like labour even though it is my third pregnancy but I have never experience any problem like this earlier before, what can I use to stop . thanks

It is not about using anything. Pls, check in with your OB/Gyn ASAP. All the best.

Big congratulations to mommas dropping sons and daughters back to back.
God bless your babies.
Speedy healing and recovery.


For mommas that did or have done cs pls are there things esp wat to wear ideas you would love to share with FT CS Moms? This will be highly appreciated.
2. Use of belly band ( post partum belly belt).

Thank u in anticipation

TOHHAN:

Pls is anomaly scan compulsory?? My hospital didn't ask to do anytyn of such and I remember a woman ask during last ANC and d Dr told ha she has pass d stage

It is usually done btw 18 and 24weeks

FlowerGirl040:
You mean the family planning?

No. I meant spacing your kids 3+ years and above. We as women forget we age as well. Carrying a child is not akara.

FlowerGirl040:
You go do again even if na in the next 2,3,4..... Years to come,na to show face when EDD dey close but you must still cover face enter through back door we go hear,na mistake, withdrawal failed me or family planning no work

������� if u get plans just do am rest o! As you age and leave plenty spacing na so the complications dey come o!.

BA/BS

Our long-awaited precious victorious baby boy arrived through elective CS weighing 3.5Kg @ 37 weeks

Edd: 25th March
DOB: 4th March

BS:
After several miscarriages and medical conditions of over 10 years, I was confirmed pregnant around June last year.

Due to previous Pregnancy issues, a cervical cerclage was placed @13weeks. 1st trimester was the most challenging with different issues ranging from lack of appetite, moderate hyperemesis gravidarum, spotting at 6weeks and was placed on progesterone support for four ( 4) months with adequate bedrest.

Second trimester and most of the 3rd trimester period was very smooth not until I decided to be a super woman by bending excessively when doing a house chore even though I was advised against doing any form of house chore. This led to spotting at 36weeks.

The doctors were ready to do an emergency CS but by God's mercy, the scan report showed that the spotting was from the cerclage and baby is okay. The doctors had to take caution, being that the baby is a precious baby, by shifting the date of my elective CS from 15th of March to 4th of March.

My baby boy was delivered on the 4th of March at about 12:30 pm, weighing 3.5Kg. I am still recovering by God's Grace, even though we were discharged 5ldays ago, baby was re-admitted due to jaundice and he is currently on phototherapy ( Pls pray for his quick recovery).

Wishing all pregnant mamas a safe delivery in Jesus name. Thank you all for your support during this journey, you are a family indeed!

Congratulations on the arrival of your baby. Speedy recovery to your LO and u.

Congratulations @funky123. God bless your new born. Been waiting to read your BA. Speedy recovery

Omakraid:

I don't think there's any specially made Detergents for baby clothes in Naija. Sunlight, Omo and Ariel are good options and you can decide to iron you baby's clothes after drying them if you don't trust the effects of those chemicals on the outfits...

I no see any difference o! Even wen i used persil (fragranced one). Comfort dey to fo that one. Other than that Omo or ariel is a regular even WAW.
