You'll lay baby down and move his legs like he is riding a bicycle...
Your swollen feet will go down though it may take time.. My legs did not swell in pregnancy until I gave birth, it took time but now it's totally gone..

Move the two leg at d same time? Also, my baby don't belge easily after takn formula bt he can fart, he might sleep off while eating nd attyms he ll belge afta waking up; if he didn't sleep off, it might take 1hr for him to belge(dunno if it's normal)
Thanks for d swollen legs

Pls hw is dis bicycle legwork abi wetin Una dey call am done for babies.
@Layormi, has Ur swollen legs come down? Mine has cum down though my normal shoe size never fit in totally bt kinda painful if pressed

Mamas pls I have few questions
1. My baby cord fell off on the 6th day and since den, MIL do use hot water to press it because she can't find Lantern, I suggest cleaning with spirit and applying chroloxyl gel bt she said No saying it needs heat to heal fast. Now that she has left, what can I use to heal it fast pls because I can c it's not yt healed totally
2. My CS area has sumtin like pulse/boil plus swollen and it do burst itself attyms though I clean with spirit every time but not looking dry and healing to me though d swollen part has reduced abit now but still not comfortable wit it, what can I do to hasten the healing process
3. How will my tummy become flat back, av been drinking warm water but it has still not gotten down totally, still asif person gt belle.

Congrats to you once again ma...omoo naso the baby water dey plenty reach?

As in the water tire me and it keeps dripping till I gave birth o. If dey choke hand under, water ll still gush out and I was told d water is needed for baby survival till I gave birth. Imagine water broke around 1am on d 31st and still dripping till 11am on d 1st.

BS! BS!! BS!!!

To God be the glory, great things he hath done. The whole 9months journey was testimony filled.

I got pregnant without knowing because am not expecting pregnancy atall, I only do feel stomach pain and ll b confuse because it's not yt time for my period. I use salt and water bt it didn't go instead am always hungry and got me confuse more; hubby ask me to go buy Andrew liver salt maybe it ll go bt instead I went to buy bicham( I blv mayb my stomach is dirty) and pregnancy test. I used d bicham once den use d test stripe and pim, na positive.

The journey begins, couldn't sleep overnight, back pain, vomiting if drink water or eat food; was still not using any drug, was told to buy pregnacare plus by my sister but I was like, this expensive drug every month; my boss gave me calcium and ferrous and told me to buy folic acid with it but neither did I buy nor use it but do buy fruit once in a while to eat. I can carry and lift anytyn carriable and liftable, nobody kuku know am pregnant yt.
Fast forward to 2nd/3rd month, I buy folic acid laslas and started taken but anytym I use it, I must vomit, attyms I vomit blood self but I didn't bother going to hospital because I blv it's part of d package then I stopped d folic too.
Finally register at 5months+ nd at 6months, a scan shows I av small fibroid and cramps began but sincerely I was not worried because I just keep holding my tummy and ll say it's not mine so fibroid get out, went to complain at the hospital and was told it's false labour wen it's not yt time/the fibroid causing pain, was given injection and paracetamol bt didn't go o, went back again nd was given cocoderm and dis work for d pain

Second trimester(frm 6month+) was smooth with little or no pain and coming to third trimester, it started smoothly but ended with pain and swollen legs at 9months.

Everybody at work was telling me to go for leave because of stress and my swollen legs but I was like I use work as part of my exercise and don't want my leave to b wasting when av not gvn birth, but I keep telling my boss and pikin that I want June and don't want May atall, will even tell d baby to please wait till June 1 and he hear ooo.

Fast forward to delivery day, was out of d house since 5am on Monday, May 30th bt getting to Ajah traffic(if U r conversant with Ajah road), I came down before the bridge and trek to VGC with hubby just to beat the traffic, faced chevron traffic again b4 I finally get to work o with bladder wey don full.
In the midnight, 31st, naso water break ooo. I just feel asif am bedwetting and urine keep coming to the extent that sis gave me bucket to be urinating inside since hubby sleep at work then I message my boss that I suspect my water broke so I won't make it down to work, called hubby severally but didn't pick up, called my elder sis who's still a bit near and she was like we ll go to hospital when it's 4am, I told then 4am is too near because am not feeling any pain. We finally left for the hospital around 7am and got to MCC Abraham Adesanya around afta 10am(Lagos traffic plus vehicle spoil for road).
Getting to hospital and was checked, OS is still close and no contraction but water is dripping already. The Dr write to sumtin membrane on my card and was tellin her colleague dat it remain 2hrs for dem to c if I ll av pain else dere's sumtin dey ll put under my tongue to induce labour. 2hrs came and go without anytyn,, I ask hubby to buy me pineapple so I can take and I did that with warm water; naso this pain start o. On checking, the Dr was like she didnt understand my cervix o, internal is open while external is close; was having serious labour contraction yt cervix didn't open(meanwhile, mum has always been telling me to ask dem if na male bone I get bcs I ct deliver on my own if na male bone BT dey ll kip telling me dat labour ll determine). The contraction became stronger and stronger and pain increase to tyms 8 of 10� and naso I dey shout mercy of God dey shout help me now, dey shout poo poo ooo, dem go say no b poopoo and I ll tell dem am serious na real poo poo no b fake one etc. Later a male Dr came(God ll kuku bless the guy for me), he check my virginal and said he's nt sure I can deliver myself, another female Dr came and said same, go call dere oga patapata and said same, they call it a name which I ct even remember because I was in serious pain, meanwhile, my mum is still calling nd still picking her calls and she ll kip shouting gv dem fone or tell dem to do CS.
As dat my favorite male Dr said we ll do CS for U so call ur husband, husband wey we call don leave my sis wit me to go to work, I jt tell dem dat my sis ll do d signing and buy all necessary tins(thank God av funded her account already incase anytyn apen), hubby later came and dey do all necessary tins, was wheel down to the theatre room and I keep telling dem gv me dat injection dat U said ll stop the fast fast b4 the pain start again, the Dr was like calm down, we r on it. I receive d first injection at my back and sum Dr were at d front fixing tins already and I kip telling dem I want to slip because av nt slept for 2days now, as them gv the third injection, ntin like pain o and d next tin I heard was a baby cry. Infact dey r still doing oda tins like checking if bp, talking abt drugs wen I heard d cry and was like who's baby is crying; one of d Dr jt joke at me and say sebi na she carry Belle cum insyd nw and was gvn my bundle of joy placed on my chest, naso I tell d baby am sorry for stressing you den started sleeping.

Not easy as a FTM takn care of pikin in a general hospital after CS because dey won't help do anytyn except for bathing of baby, only few of dere nurse ll attend to you well and nobody is allowed to stay to stay except to go and cum back bt God is takn control. Ct wait to be release from here nd lemme go sleep well at home while MIL take charge.

Success to other preggy woman in the house, may God deliver everyone safely IJN.

Omakraid:

That should be membrane sweep... You can Google it. God will make everything fall into place for you by His grace

Is it membrane sweep that they ll put sumtin under tongue to induce labour?

Omakraid:

Congratulations mama, we will hear your testimony soon. don't take too much time before seeing your doctor oo cos of the gradual leakage. How are you fairing now?

The water is still leaking and labour has not come. Was given a drug to avoid infection though bt I heard d Dr telling oda nurses that she has written membrane whatever in my file if it still doesn't cum by night

Layormiii:
everything shall start to work well for your good and you shall come back to share your beautiful testimony ijn.

Amen. Thanks dear

Layormiii:
Teamie is it time

I don't know the answer to ur question o

It is o bt no contraction pain yt and OS is still close, water has bn leaking since midnight

What can be done for OS to open pls after water broke. Am hearing sumtin membrane or so

Layormiii:
This back pain since like 4days ago or so has refuse to free me. We have massaged, stretched, do everything doable...
And it's just one spot oo, one particular sport not the whole back o. Painful as hell
New day new pregnancy package.. nah everyday we dey massage am

Av not been feeling much for like 2days o, I don't wake up in d midnight like b4 self. I just hope it's not preparing me for anoda package; by the way, wia is Ur dancing shoe oooo June is jt 3days time

Sassy256:

Yes it does in large quantity. But I'm getting it to use after birth not right now.

Oooooohk, better den

Sassy256:

Ok. I asked someone traveling soon to bring some uda for me sha(negro pepper). Hope to use that for peppersoup at least.

I heard dat Uda used to cause miscarriage o, mayb body system differs sha

mzMerci:
Thanks be to God, I got discharged and I’m back home with my son still baking in my womb. Decided to go to work today since I was bored to stupor already, only for my MD to tell me that he’s not sure I’ll be re employed after my 3 months maternity leave cos he has employed someone to stand in for me during my absence. It just felt like cold water was poured all over my body. It really spoilt my day. I was actively trying to conceive for 9 months. I’ve had 2 myomectomies, 61 fibroids removed, 2 HSGs and one sono. We were preparing to start artificial reproduction processes when God stepped in. I literally saw hell and now my job is literally gone cos I’m procreating. Thanks be to God for everything. His plans for me are of good and not of evil. My bundle of joy is more than enough for me

Think not my dear, better offer is cooking already, jt don't think abt it and gv birth to Ur LO alive

StarryV:
My dear sweet Cappo. No be small thing o. I've cat-walked into my 3rd trimester like this ooo. Yet the incessant hunger i've been suffering from my 1st trimester has refused to leave me It is well. This my 3rd trimester came with a mixture of excitement and fear, maybe because hubby isn't close. God help my fears. Really don't know what to expect.

I have taken only the first doze of the TT injection o. Wondering why my hospital is not saying anything about it. Hope it's not late sha.

Ur hospital won't say anything, U r d one dat'll go for d next dose on d date written in Ur card. If U miss dat date, U ll start afresh b dat o so don't wait for dem to tell U anytyn abt TT o

Layormiii:
it's tempting oo but make I push am enter June jeje, thanks for the invitation nah Tohan I think say go port o. Lol
Mummy baby shey mumsy is pressing you well ehn..

U don forget say na same date we gt? Am even tempted to buy dates and pineapple but step back because I don't wanna port. I don beg pikin make e wait till June 1 if he's planning of porting but honestly, U ll advice me to port if U c hw big my leg r nw and how this false contraction is dealing wit me and I don't wanna go for maternity leave yt.

What of that mama twins in our team, she no wan port?

Hamzashaf99:

When I was complaining my own. Sha I want baby to cook wella, but I'm also ready to kick the little a** out of here!

My own is, will this serious Braxton Hicks make labour come faster? Anyone experienced this before?

Experienced mama should pls answer us o, will it make labour faster?

Layormiii:
enjoy it while it last .. baby will be here in few weeks time.. tik tok tik tok baby will be here
Funny enough we might start missing all these things after giving birth oo.. can never be me sha

I no go miss anytyn oo. At dis stage hubby still wan enta, imagine dat o

This braxton hicks is another pain on it's own oo, I ct sleep with my left syd again, managing the right side and ct sleep wit back(so annoying), had to wake up in d midnight and sit while sleeping because I can't lie down anymore, is dat hw I ll b sitting everytym and yansh ll b xo heavy too? Can May just do and go Ranting done and dusted

Layormiii:
when I was complaining about mine back to back on Sunday am sure you were looking at me some how I was getting scared cos once I lie down, phiiiaaam, this thing will start again, please henjoy it

Dat tin don't even want sumone to lie down atall, attyms it hold me wit back waist and d left syd of my rib. Am seriously imagining hw labour pain ll b like again o. I sha knw God ll c us tru and we ll gv our testimony, let keep enjoying it

shiller:


Very scary to me too during my first...once I notice it especially if am lieing down,I will just Stand up nd walk

Won't it cum back if U lie down again? Mine do cum back if I lie down again, I had to sit down and sleep on chair for a while yesternight

To my June mamas and other FTM

Layormiii:
infact thank you for explaining what's happening to me better than I can write it. That means am still on point then.

But teamie if water no break sheybi mucus plug go show. That thing that cover the womb abi nah cervix, it will come out like mucus. me I Sabi small pass u

I don't know anytyn oo teamie. hw d mucus plus b self, make I go google search am, I sha know the God that started the journey wit us will finish with us and we'll deliver the baby safely, we go write our BS too even if nt voluminous . Bt this rib wey go just hold person tight ehn, it's well ni o.

Sassy256:

Yes not everyone's water breaks mine always has to be broken during active labour. But you can't mistake real labour pain for Braxton Hicks. The difference is very clear .

Owk ma'am, thanks alot
