@iomoge2 ....that ice cream,gimme na

AlphaHandMaiden:
I dont believe its true, because when i went in to deliver and my baby wasnt moving as expected they gave me cold water to drink as apperently babies can feel it and move! Sure wnough they was a jump in activity!

Some people crave ice and even take icecubes into the delivery room to chew on and cool down. With no adverse effects. So i dont think there is any scientific basis to the cold water story.

Okay darling....tnx a lot

Chanbaby:
Hi dear, cold water was what was discussed during my last ANC the midwife said it's a misconception cold water wouldn't do u or the baby anything.
[b]But I had a church member that just gave birth she said she drank cold water a lot that immediately she gave birth the kind of cold that greeted her was no joke. She said it was as if she was deepen into a freezer all her teeth were shaking.

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Mumjb:
there is notin bad in drinking cold water, but dont drink too much.

anytime am pregnant and morning sickness start till i deliver i can no longer drink water that is not cold, even in the cold weather i drink cold water and it does not affect me or my baby. even do some poeple say cold water causes jaudince to the newborn child.

Thank you dear I don't take it much though

Mamas good morning oooo....pls is it that bad to be drinking cold water during your third trimester..I have heard so many stories on how bad it is ie it slows labour and makes baby too comfortable in the womb...I still can't wrap my mind around it,I love cold water

However, on the same day 4 accidents were averted. 2 on my side. 2 on my dear husband side.

For Dh, the first accident at work, if it happened would have claimed his eyes completely.
The second would have left serious injury on the upper part of his body.

Today he is safe, fine, healthy and whole.

On my part, because I finished late from my market runs that day, I boarded a bike to beat the crazy traffic.
For the first time ever, a bus just swerved to our side and almost push my and okada man off the road into God-knows-where.
Thankfully, after very minimal shaky shaky, the okada found its footing. I got home safely.

After resting for a bit, I decided to go to one shop nearby and carry set of pot that I was doing shakara for, because I found out it is way more expensive at Lagos Island. Unfortunately, they had closed for the day.

As I was coming back, just as I was about to climb my step, I slipped and fell down....on my buttocks. The steady rains makes my compound slippery sort of, but in my over 10 years there, I have never had such experience.

I was lucky it was near the pavement and also one of the building's pillars. So instead of me falling yakata like that, I leaned on the pillar, though my purse suffered the shock more, and then I used style to land on my bum. All of this was to avoid any impact on my bump.

My Sisters, what if there were no support structures? What would have happened to my Child and my waist?

See ehn, it is true my phone got stolen o.
And I might have to pay for it.

But I am thankful.
I am thankful for all the horrible accidents that were averted.
Someone please help me thank God.

Thank you Abba Father,Thank you God.

Mumjb:
concluding part
i thank Allah for saving my life and that of my princess and for putting the devil to shame.

When are you due? It's true the last month is usually the slowest but you can keep busy by repacking your hospital bags, cleaning the while house if you have the strength, cooking in bulk i you have steady power supply.

If you are at home you can also plugin your headphones and dance away to your favourite songs everyday.


Or just carry yourself to the hospital and ask for Cs if you are 37 weeks already lolz just kidding o.

I was so bored by my 27th week that I thought of having a Cs by 30 weeks(covers face ) so mamas here talked better sense into my head.

So what I did was to download an app that does countdowns, I input my due date and it starts counting the seconds, minutes, hours, days week left! That way I felt like the days were actually moving faster each time my phone beeps and I see
You have so so so and so days,hours and minutes to meet your son Ekene

It helped in a way sha but lemme me advice you to please enjoy your remaining days of absolute independence because when baby comes there is no YOU anymore.

My dear,I have repacked and repacked and "repoocked". Two EDDs 8&9th October but I ported myself to 29th September

Liftedhands:
What my doctor told me during anc was to use warm, lukewarm or even room temperature water! Never hot water. You are to sit inside the bowl with your vjay touching the water(the feeling is soothing). They said steam and hot water is no longer necessary as it makes the skin very tender and may loosen the stitch.

Thank you mama

Liftedhands:
Maka why? Abeg tell her to do her Sitz bath using warm water salt and disinfectant. My younger sis delivered four days ago and na me dey chook her yansh inside Sitz Bowl twice daily.

Mamas o...about this episiotomy stitches and sitbaths...I am a FTM and I am a bit confused,the nurses during my antenatal strictly mentioned "no sit baths" for those they stitched their vjay,.rather hot water(+dettol) vapour should be used. That it will loosen the stitches.
And also this sitbath of a thing e,is it that the person will sit inside hot water Biko nu

HillyMa:
Mamas in the house, join me to thank the lord, my prince arrived yesterday 11pm weighing 6lbs 9oz with 2 little tear, the devil tried to steal my joy by leaking all baby's amniotic fluid out But God protected him. Bs later

*Dancing with my bump* He is a miracle working God,He is the Alpha and Omegaaaaaa,He is a miracle working God. Congrats Dear..Nothing can steal away your Joy,it has come to stay

funmz:
Alert! Alert!! Alert!!! GOD has smiled on me. I'm a mother to a healthy baby boy born at 37 weeks weighing exactly 3kg, yesterday 6th of September. My Shalom is the most peaceful baby ever just as his name implies. GOD has restored me and healed my badly broken heart after a loss at 42 weeks in 2014. My heart is soooo full of gratitude and happiness. I pray for all Atc mums,especially those who have lost a child that soonest,you will testify to GOD's goodness. I wish my fellow team september mums and other preggy mums a safe delivery. May G0Ð bless us all, Amen.

Aahh!! Elohim!!This is a month of praise oo! Thank you Jesus!... Congrats dear

My Delivery Story

This is going to be unusual. It is my D.D's birth story and not mine. For me, it is a story of my deliverance by the Almighty God.
The God that watches my back all the time.
I got married to my NYSC Divinely arranged heartthrob on 5th Dec 2015 and by 25th (Christmas day) which was also supposed to be my day 1 period for that month, I was holding a positive pregnancy test strip.
I was happy and as well overwhelmed by different emotions, I had only been married for 20 days. The God that answers prayers
DH and I told MIL and my mum and they were happy, my mum was overjoyed. None of them told me what to expect. the first time I felt d effect of relaxin, it felt as if I was bumped into a wall.
Weeks rolled by and the ninth month arrived. All through ANC , I never had any health issues. I give God all the glory for that.
Used two bottles of Pronatal before switching to normal routine drugs(not diligently though) and vegs.
At d start of the pregnancy, I calculated my EDD based on my LMP which was 25th Nov 2015, taking into cognizance my 30 days cycle length and the EDD fell on 2nd September.
First scan at 22 weeks gave EDD as 29th Aug, Second scan at 37 weeks gave EDD as 31st Aug with 3.0kg.
DH was always praying for LO and conversing with her while in the womb but would always refer to her as 'my son' cos up till the time she was born, we chose not to believe scan dat said XX. She even recognized and could differentiate between DH's touch and mine while in the womb.
All through the pregnancy, I was very confident that about the delivery till 38 weeks that I suddenly burst into tears on seeing my DH. I don't know where the fear came from. I suddenly became scared. DH prayed for me but did I feel any better? I can't tell

29th Aug was my first EDD and also my ANC. Doctor said that was the day he would work with and that if by the following Monday I had not seen any show, I should come to d hospital with my baby thing for admission and induction at the prenatal ward. I was scared particularly of a case of failed induction. I wasn't happy. I told everyone on getting home and DH told me not to worry since my three dates were all in the week that baby will come before Monday.

Wed 31st Aug came and passed again, nothing. I was becoming aggravated. I told DH, "tell ur baby to come out so I can have my life back, I'm tired". He smiled and whispered to my bump, "Baby, you are coming out this week."

On Thursday morning, MIL told me to go on compulsory long walk, which I did with my umbrella in hand cos of d weather. I got back feeing extremely tired. I just went to sleep. In the evening after a dinner of beans and custard with DH, I I was tired and DH asked me what was happening, I told him I was just tired so he followed me into the room and me both laid on d bed while my mum watched us.
Me: Tell your baby to come out oo, talk into its small ears.
DH smiled and tried to change the topic wen I felt something drop in my vagina, I was still for two minutes before getting up suddenly. I pulled my pant down and DH just shouted water.
That was around past 10pm in d night. He went out with his brother and came with a cab. I wasnt feeling any pain and I chatted all the way to the hospital but I could sense the tension in the air.

On getting to the hospital, I was check by a nurse who claimed 7-8cm, I was happy but another one checked and said noo it's 2 cm. one of my prayers during the pregnancy was that all my birth attendants will work in the perfect will of God. Another nurse came in and said I had meconium stain already. They asked how long ago I started draining water and I explained that I came to the hospital as soon as it started. by now the water was gushing out. . I was transferred to d bed and contractions set in. they were 5 mins apart and lasted 1 min. Arnd 3am, on 2nd Sept, the contractions were getting unbearable and were now 3mins apart. I was checked and was just 3cm. that was when d devil wanted to raise its head; Fetal Heart rate started going down from 140 to 130.Two doctors came at around 6am and the senior one said that there was no more liquor. They kept asking how long I had been draining water and i kept insisting that i came as soon as it started. The FH kept dropping at each check. I was placed on drip with an instruction for critical augmentation within the next one hour, Low threshold for C.S.
I asked the duty nurse what was to come and she explained that it would be more painful and more spontaneous as she set up d drip, I rushed to the toilet and cried my eyes out. I was already nearing my pain limit, how was I supposed to bear that.
I got back to the bed and on seeing the waiting nurse and d already set drip, I ran back to d toilet again
Nurse: where are you going again
Me: I want to go and vomit.
I got there, put my hand in my throat, nothing came out.
I jejely pack my sef and settled on d bed for d inevitable.
Fast forward to when the morning duty nurses took over at about 8am , FH was checked and it had dropped to 126, that was wen I was gathered to the favour room.
I was placed on oxygen and the oxytocin dose were increased at intervals. They already prepared the resuscitation table for the baby cos of d dropping heart rate. I feared the worst.
Around 9:30am, I started having the urge to push and they were like don't push oo.
We were two in d labour room, d other lady started pushing and pooing and I was begging the nurses that I want to poo too but was ignored.
The matron came in and checked me. then she said push with the next contraction. I did but was told dat I was only shouting. I pushed again and saw the matron standing steady with her scissors.
matron: u are wasting contractions, oya push.
Me: I'm not feeling contractions
At my next push, she gave me a cut.
The other lady beside me delivered her baby at 10:15 and on seeing her baby, I gathered all the strength within me and pushed out my princess who came out all at once head and body 3.5kg @10:20am.
She was screaming so loud that tears of joy were just streaming down my face.
The devil was put to shame and there was no need to use d resuscitation table.
The matron pulled out d placenta and shouted. The cord had two knots on it which was responsible for the FH that kept going down. I appreciate the King of Kings, Oba oloruko ajila to gbamila lowo iku ojiji.
Thank God that I didn't wait till morning before going to the hospital.

It has been five days of exhaustion but the pure love takes the pain all away. Do I want my old life back? No way, life is much sweeter with a caring DH by my side and a cheeky sucky chubby princess in our arms.

@Team September, the plan of the enemy will always fail over our lives and that of all pregnant mamas on this thread.
ATC mamas, start thanking God because he has started delivering your babies into your arms in multiple folds.

Thank you Jesus!!! Congrats dear

PresVA:
Hi, I think I'm in a good position to encourage you. ..
I recently got a good job with my pregnancy. . Did all the five stages of the recruitment process with my bump(I was btw 20-28weeks during the processes)...
Like you, I was somewhat shy and apprehensive but my husband encouraged me.. we prepared for the interview together. . Considering my pregnancy, I knew I needed an outstanding performance to convince the HRs/managers to hire me and so I really did prepare well..

My dear, just prepare well.. if they see the value in you,
pregnancy won't prevent their hiring you, afterall you won't be pregnant forever and pregnancy isn't a disability. . Be explicit about your skills, achievements and experiences, let them know you will add value to their organisation as that's wht every company wants... You're going for a marketing position, give examples of how you've achieved good sales in your previous job(s)...

Above all, pray.. God has a way of doing things. .

So dear, please rock your bump wella.. pregnancy isn't a disease or something to be ashamed of. ..
I wish you the best

What a mighty God we serve...I am happy for you dear..I now regret why I didn't attend the interviews I was scheduled for during my 2nd trimester,I was just scared that as a pregnant woman I may not be taken..Where do you work now?

My Birth Story:
According to first Scan, due date was Aug 23 cos I was not sure of lmp. Last scan done on the, 19th of August was August 25.
No sign on Aug 23 except for the normal Brackson hicks, by wednesday in the Evening, I went to the market with my husband, cooked and went to bed.
I woke up around 2.am cos I was having on and off contraction that didn't go away despite changing position and drinking water, I went to ease my self, when I got back , I saw clear mucus on the bed, I cleaned up and try to time it and discovered the contractions were 8 minutes apart, my husband was now like, let us go to the hospital, I told him its not yet time that he should go and sleep. I could not sleep again so I went to clean and arrange my kitchen and doing other stuffs till We left for the hospital around 5.30 am.
I told the nurse on duty what I was going through and she checked and said I was 3 cm and I got admitted, did all the neccesary test but instead of contraction to increase, it reduced to 4 in an hour. I walked around but it was like that till around 9 pm in the Evening.
We had concluded with the nurses that I will be induced the following morning when Doctors are around and I even told my husband to go home so I can prepare Myself mentality for the induction pain due to experience I had with my first Baby.
But God had a different plan for me, around 10 pm, I noticed I was contracting every 10 minutes, I monitored Myself till 11pm and then went to tell the nurse to check me which she did, She said I was 4cm and progressing. I said Thank God and went back to my Bed to pray, I then picked my Bible and went outside so as not to disturb others, I started walking around and praying in between contractions.
I vomitted around 00.45 am and then went to wake the nurse to check again and this time, I was 7 cm dilated and she transferred me to the labour ward.
I managed the pains all through by breathing through my mouth till I was fully dilated and I could not control the urge to push. I was almost pushing my Baby out with poo when the midwife gave me a slap not to push till I was moved to the delivery room, immediately I was positioned, I didn't wait to be instructed before pushing my Princess out at exactly 2.42 am on the 26th of August weighing 3.4kg without tear and the placenta came out immediately.
She swallowed fluid and was taken to the nursery for observation but was released some hours later that she is okay. I thank God for a smooth delivery without any form of intervention cos I have been praying to experience it.
My husband was so surprised when I called Him around, 3.30 am that I had delivered.
I pray for everyone that God will make the people on duty on Your day of delivery to favour U and work with U becos it helps a lot too. Despite the fact that no one was with me, they were the ones that moved my stuffs and help with all I needed till my husband arrived around 5am. Proudly Team August 2016.

Congrats my dear....and a very gigantic Amen to your prayers....Thank God for safest delivery.
