BS!!

I don finally hang boot after 3boys,God just blessed me with a baby girl..

After my last baby I said no baby for now again till I plan to get my baby girl oo,na so belle enter October last year
I was sad cos I didnt plan it(God forgive me oo)

After getting to know i was pregnant,that's when morning sickness dealt with me,I couldn't stand upright,my cramps was out of this world nd I had to go to scan to check if its ectopic pregnancy or real one...it turned out that baby was intact and perfect@8weeks..

January period @12weeks malaria strike me,i have not even started taking any routine drugs cos of my severe morning sickness

I took malaria drugs prescribed by Doctor and i was fine..

Through out that time except the first 3 months no issues again..

Fast forward to 38weeks appointment,I started my exercise,walkn,climbing stairs,eating pineapple,tnkn that as a fourth time mum 38 39 weeks I don born..

Kai,38,39 40weeks came no sign,i sleep everynight in my mind that contraction will wake me up,but as the saying goes that MAN PROPOSES BUT GOD DISPOSES..

Friday was my 40th week,then on Saturday I woke up with catarrh,body pains,nd some cramps,I didn't take it as anything cos no sign of show,no contractions nd no water,i went about doing my normal Saturday works shaa

So this Sunday morning I wake up too tired ,body pains too again,I know I can't head to church with the way am feeling..

12pm I started having contractions/cramps that comes every 10minutes,I monitor it,so I waited till 1pm to head to hospital,we got there by 1.20pm,I was ask to go to labor room immediately..

The contraction pain was so too much(labor pain na labor pain irrespective of how many you have)

See me shouting the nurse were like madam is this ur first?when u now said 4th,it will be like u no dey endure pain..

Na so the nurse come tell me to breath with mouth open if the contractions comes nd try to relax ,for where,e no dey easy as dem dey talk am ooo,lol..

Dey check me nd say dey need to empty my bladder dat I hv full bladder..

E no even tey dey break my water..

Before you know it baby's head is showing

Tho the Doctor was there checkn babys heartbeat nd how d contractions were coming...

Na when baby wan come out na so my own pain go tripple,I was raising my waist up,the nurses was teln me to bring down my hip nd hold my legs nd push,,Chai...

That was how I pushed once and my baby came forth weighing 3.4kg,no tear..

Let's say 1hr + in the hospital with hot labor..

As we dey type am e come easy for mouth..

Buh I bless God it ended in praise..

Safe delivery to the rest July Preggy mama's ..

Birth story!!!

I had my first myomectomy at 20. They were 9 fibroids and the biggest was pedunculated, cystic and subserous which made the surgery of importance. My doctors counseled me to start planning pregnancy and all. Lol, I was a virgin prior to my surgery and that made me lose it. Yet, no pregnancy. About 2 years after (I was now single), I started having very heavy periods so I went for a scan which revealed fibroids were back. I cried my eyes out, called my mum and she encouraged me. I decided to bear with the symptoms. My God! Every menstruation was a mad cycle. I had to get thick always pad and I kid you not, I used at least 4 packs of pad every cycle. I always got stained even with that “special” brand. During this period, I met my husband.
I had to see a doctor who is an O&G prof at UITH (she’s such a blessing to me. Her hospital is Gracevid hospital, agbadam, ilorin for those who need it. She is a fertility specialist too). Prof examined me, placed me on some drugs to reduce the rate at which I was bleeding and asked me to do scan and HSG. HSG was a very painful procedure and I weeped while it was done. Result came and said I had multiple fibroids which had distorted my uterus and my right Fallopian tube could not be visualized. My husband (then bf) was worried but encouraged me. I went to prof and she said she would not carry out any surgery on me till I was going to get married. This was because my endometrium was breached in the last surgery and it could have effect on fertility. Prof counseled me not to rush into marriage just cos of what I was going through. I listened but I knew I had my own husband already (which was my bf)
Few months later, my bf proposed and I informed prof. She asked me multiple questions to be sure I was getting married for the right reasons. She planned my surgery and I had 52 fibroids removed. Yes, 52!
I healed well afterwards, she placed me on a dose of leuprolide injection (about 35k per dose) to slow down regrowth. I started trying to get pregnant but no show. I went to prof and she told me to do scan, HSG and sono. Scan and HSG showed I had a fibroid seedling while sono revealed I had twin follicles which were about to ovulate. Those twin eggs ended as menses.
Prof encouraged me and asked if I talk to God. I told her I do and she told me to go and pray like I’ve never done. I prayed and I dreamt.
In the dream, I was on my period holding my special pad to go and change. My pastor’s wife met me on the way and asked why I was holding pad when I should be pregnant. I started crying in the dream and I woke up. I told my husband, called my mum and my pastors. We started praying cos it was a sign I was fighting a battle. My husband stood by me through it all. Few months later, my husband (who doesn’t dream) woke up and told me he dreamt I was fighting a very big snake, it had wrapped me up and I was struggling with it. He picked a cutlass, killed the snake, cut it into pieces and cooked it to eat. That week, my mum also dreamt that someone accosted her for not inviting her to my wedding after which she apologized to her. I knew God had won the war.
2 weeks after, my husband dreamt I did a pt and it was positive. Omo, I did a pt the following week and it was positive. For the first time in my 26yrs of life, I got pregnant! I cried, thanked God and begged Him to perfect everything.
At 20weeks, I started spotting at work and rushed for a scan which revealed threatened miscarriage. I was placed on bed rest and it was discovered I had pregnancy induced hypertension so I was placed on daily vasoprin 75mg to prevent pre eclampsia. It worked perfectly. Prof told me I would deliver via elective CS cos my uterus had too many scars for labour. At 34 weeks, I started contracting and rushed to the hospital. I had a fibroid which was degenerating and that was stimulating contractions. I was admitted and placed on drugs. Thankfully, it stopped. I started contracting again a day to my scheduled surgery, so prof wheeled me in for an emergency CS. God blessed me with my own child. He wiped my tears. He gave me a son who looks so much like my husband. God changed my name and now I’m called a mummy. Just take a minute to thank God for me.

Congratulations Mama

BS! BS!!
I started having mild contractions around 3am on May 23rd so I couldn't sleep till day break.. I saw mucus plug just when we were about leaving home and my water broke on my way to the hospital .. The contractions increased .. Doctor did VE immediately I arrived at the hospital in the morning and said I was 5cm dilated. I was so happy.. I was moved into labour room, Contractions increased and the pain unbearable, I can't explain it .. VE was done again after few hours and I was moved into delivery room.. I was told to push as contraction was coming, but I was so tired to push..After several pushing, the midwife was like I will receive episiotomy ohh. I was like nooo, please don't give me episiotomy ohh., she had to take the scissors or whatever they use, before I could say don't cut me, she already did .. I pushed a few more times then baby finally came out ... I thought I was done with all the pains till they started stitching the episiotomy..I was shouting while they stitch..

BS! BS!! BS!!
Get ready, it's going to be a verrrryyyyyyyyy long ride...

Been TTCing since we got married but we had issues with doing the do as hubby was a V (innocent bro) so we just dropped baby issues jare until people started asking questions (his people o) so we resumed trying. Fast forward to 2020 around August, I missed my p and ignorantly washed off my baby with the delicious, well flavoured zobo I prepared myself undecided.. I had terrible cramps and passed out tissue, the blood wasn't here (that was the last time I tasted zobo till this month).. I had infection, treated it and we continued trying...

Nov 2020, started having weird dreams of bleeding. Like I would dream I'm sharing the good news of pregnancy with hubby and in that same dream I would start bleeding and the next day in real life I would start bleeding (the exact consistency and volume of blood would be just as it is in the dream) . Didn't take it serious that Nov until it happened Dec, I started waking up in prayers, Jan same and I told hubby and we started battling it together, Same February (what's going on we've been praying na) but we did not relent. March came and it was as if my prayer would never be answered but God did answer. I had a dream where I was on a bed in a strange room and while wondering why I was there I saw ropes on the floor and a candle lit by the bed.. I decided to burn the ropes gradually with the fire from the candle but while about to do that a strange hand grabbed the rope and was holding what it called my womb, turned it upside down to drain the content and was trying to tie it in my presence. I started praying and calling the blood of Jesus in that dream and the hand dropped all and disappeared. That was our victory though I know there'll always be battles.

God answered us with my March LMP/April ovulation but hubby and I treated Staph Aureus just after I ovulated (I told the doctor that I just finished ovulating but he said I shouldn't worry) and took very strong injections which I think caused the MC I had in June, I also had recurrent fever (which I was scared to treat) so I don't know which one in particular caused it. The foetus dropped in my toilet after terrible hours of pain and I dipped my hand, brought it out and took it to the hospital where I was sent for scan which showed remnants that needed to be expelled (I remember also asking questions and posting the picture here). After the painful evacuation, I didn't even have power to cry or brood though my heart was heavy, I just wanted to move on and I gave thanks to God because He did it and would do another. I went to work the next day as I didn't have strength to sit and let the devil bring in unholy thoughts into my heart even though I was still in pain from the evacuation but anything asides sitting at home was better for me.

‌My mind was also made up to start immediately even though Google said whatever. I went for a scan which showed infection after I completed the antibiotics given at the hospital and I got another set of drugs which cleared me and we started again. God came through with the July LMP and here we are..

First trimester was with mild symptoms, no vomiting or spitting except that I was always feverish which I ran quickly to get a test done at 8 weeks and it was discovered to be typhoid but my doctor treated both typhoid and malaria and also placed me on duphaston.... Around 11 weeks I started going everywhere with two food flasks, it was as if I would die if I didn't eat. Also had this terrible cough they would cause pain in my ribs, drugs didn't work but thank God, honey and warm water did. Registered for antenatal at 16 weeks and I was given Amalar, prenatals and my first TT injection and that was when my woes started.. The prenatals got me into a vomiting spree (I think it's cos I used them together instead of using them at separate times) and even when not used. Sometimes I'd just be feeling sick and feel like putting my hands in my throat to empty my belly.. My appetite also dropped from 2 food flasks to 1 and I was also managing myself while watching my weight cos I was almost breaking their scale at the hospital (me that use to be tiny)... The doctor would also wondered why I don't usually have complaints whenever I meet him cos plenty scans even before pregnancy said there's fibroid somewhere (but e no concern me, me I no get am) and he said the fibroid he thought would disturb me isn't disturbing, I didn't even answer as I know I don't have it. Heartburn was the order of the day cos rice o, swallow o, fruits o, even water o gives me heartburn.

Third trimester knocked with pelvic pains, plenty heat, blackness on my neck with plenty rashes, cough and little cravings... I never get satisfied if what I eat is not what I'm craving but I managed around it as money was overflowing to be eating cravings up and down (irony). Mind you I was still very active at work with climbing of stairs as the order of the day.. FF to 36 weeks and I had this terrible cough induced Rib-like contractions, i couldn't do anything but groan like one in labour (mhen what kind of labour happens in the ribs), had an x-ray done, there was nothing so I was given injections and pain reliefs..
Was very hopeful that labour would start before 40 weeks but for where, no show oo. Zeal to exercise went down to zero though i still took walking serious, dem say pineapple and dates dey help, me na so so mango I dey buy, how I go con do na? Doc said he'd sweep me at 39 wks, I no remind am thinking labour will start before 40wks, lailai. I had the sweep at week 40 and was hopeful of positivity. 40wks 2dys, saw mucus plug and was left hanging again. Did all I could do so I don't end up getting to the 41 weeks but it seemed my baby was enjoying the taste of the mangoes I was always taking. Took dates, pineapple, zobo yet there was no painful contraction just the braxton hicks... I called my doctor he said I'll come in for induction that Saturday but we couldn't go in on Saturday so we went on Sunday @41wks 1dy as I didn't fall into labour at all... That morning I was feeling this deceitful painful contraction and I called the doctor, he told me to come to the hospital that I'm not going back home without my baby.. Hubby and I left in the evening. On getting there my vitals were checked and my cervix was checked, cervix hasn't started opening (Yeeh), The doctor lectured DH about induction and how it sometimes ends so that he can be open to the outcome, he then broke Misoprostol into 4 and put a very tiny piece inside somewhere I can't remember the name after which he told the 2nd doc to check for dilation by 1:30am (Monday after 6 hours). I went back to the ward, I was exercising while gisting with hubby and when I was tired I laid down.. Wanted to pee but discovered I couldn't so I told the 2nd doctor who inserted my catheter and a urine bag. Lest I forgot, I also saw blood while in the hospital there.
Baby's heartbeat was also being checked frequently and it was consistently OK until around 1am when it was checked again, it started well but suddenly started dropping and becoming faint. My gynae was called and he came in immediately checked me and I was only 2cm dilated after 6hrs of groaning, he checked the heartbeat too and we all heard it. He told us we have to go straight into the theater as the baby’s life is very important right now.... Sharp sharp I was shaved and headed to the theatre even when hubby hadn't finished signing the consent form(since he had consented with his mouth).. Entering the theatre and lying down, everyone got busy that was when Gen went off, the doctor shouted what happened (the one who ought to get fuel didn't remember to get it, their solar too didn't come on and I heard him tell everyone one to bring out their phones. I was given general anaesthesia so I didn't know what happened again.. Hubby witnessed all cos I had already spoken to the doctor thinking it would be VD and I had also told him to behave himself so he's not sent out. So he was allowed to stay and watch through the curtain partition in the theater.

I woke up in the ward feeling dizzy and asking for my head and hand to be adjusted, I was seeing hubby faintly and he was telling me the baby is here with joy oo but I kept requesting for adjustment. I forgot I was there to give birth, it was later when my brain processed the whole thing I remembered and asked him for a picture of our baby which he showed.. It was when my brain was clearer that he told me of how the baby was brought out not breathing and the doctor had to start blowing air and tapping her seriously. He said the doctor repeated the action again and again until she cried or is it whimpered but with the way she was breathing, her respiratory tract had been blocked by whatever she swallowed and on her own she cant supply her body oxygen that will go round so she needed to be assisted using oxygen. She finished up 3 small tanks and continued with the biggest oxygen tank as her level on and off the tank was being monitored, no food or glucose water sef cos they said they didn't want anything interrupting her airways due to the was she was breathing.. She was just getting skinny and skinny, always crying that I had to use pacifier to keep her calm sometimes (baby that came out weighing 2.5kg oo)

Before, during and after the whole thing, they didn't even request for deposit until Tuesday afternoon when they wanted to bring in a paediatrician to also check her. Her Oxygen level increased from lass than 40 to 46 to 60 something and 70 something... The paediatrician said until we get to 93 and above and it remains consistent without her being on oxygen, we go nowhere... After much complaints of how skinny she is and that her cry that can wake a small village, I was eventually told to express milk in her cup from which 30ml was measured and she took 22ml. Next dose is in the next 6hrs (at least half bread is better than chinchin), she took 24ml at the next dose and gulped it all at the next one. I complained again abbot's the timing was reduced to 4hrs but same 30ml, I complained that its not enough that she's dehydrated and its the reason she started having fever (her temp would rise to 38.5 in the afternoon) then the pead said we should express and give her when she's hungry. I said OK but when she was hungry, I covered her with the blood of Jesus and sanctified the breast milk and gave her directly, that was what I did throughout the night, when the 2nd doctor came in the morning I told her what I did and she said okay, my main gynae came and caught us sucking then he monitored her breathing while feeding and said we should continue and that was how my angel whose body was almost drying up started regaining flesh gradually.. All this while the oxygen thingy was on and off so that her level will be monitored but she was placed on one more small tank.. Her afternoon rise in temperature still persisted and they had to change the antibiotics being given to her to some very painful ones which got us massive improvement. As of yesterday without man's oxygen, she was 93 and this morning her reading was 95. My baby is now looking like a baby. Her naming was done in our ward (we are the only occupants) this morning with just 4 of us in attendance (DH, self, MIL & our senior pastor).

Thanks to everyone who made my stay in this preggers group eventful, it was worth it..
Thanks to my DH too (we were preggy together), even in this our hospital omugwo, I comot cap for him.. Sometimes he looks at the baby especially when her vitals goes low and feels like crying but just man up, me I cried when temperature refused to go down and I was like God has given you to us and won't take you away from us and by the grace of God we will be going home tomorrow.

I pray God will deliver all mums here safely without complications by His grace and bless the womb of every GTC mums with their own testimonies..
Please manage this small story of my life...

I gave birth to my handsome Prince on 20th May at exactly 8:20pm through vagina delivery with plenty of tears weighing 2.9kg after about more than 12 hours of labor.
May the God of perfection who has done it for me and other mamas surely deliver our remaining mothers in prefect conditions.
BTW, my labour was rigorous and painful as hell maybe because it was my first time therefore, I'll be dropping my BS much later.

Hello bellefamily,  BabyJ is 18days already. FTM and FTD.No person helping us out. I m only relying on online omugwo n mother instinct.Did I mention we moved to another neighbourhood after birth.It hasn't been easy.All new experience at once,coupled with the pains n recovery from CS,depression really set in for me,I really lost formation grin but whenever I remember the waiting period and d bundle I m holding,my strength gets renewed. Ttc Mothers don't lose it. He who commanded us to be fruitful will make true his promise very soon. Be joyful. Belleful mothers, may u recieve strength for the task ahead.Motherhood is no joke

Thought I will be able to share my exp from trimester 1 ni. Oya fastforward my tape to 3rd trimester;all through the pregnancy, I had nausea, n throw up at the lightest smell. I couldn't eat anything except oatbread , milk and yorghurt.
From 35th week,I started having contractions n strong tightening but farther apart , I would have sworn I will deliver by 37th. Doc was almost sure too. I really wished to deliver early. But DH was always saying he wasnt ready. Not ready ke?ask him to explain, he will say he wasn't ready mentally, n emotionally. See me see blessing. He wants baby to come on EDD exactly.
Gbam! contractions stopped at 37th. Movement decreased, almost silent, I checked into d hospital, that's how baby started moving around.i was like now u wantu turn me to an attention seeker, or liar. After several hours,we carried ourselves back home. Nonetheless, I asked them to put me on induction list against 39th,if baby doesn't show by then. They were reluctant, they said there was no medical reasons for it,moreso we don't need to put pressure on fibroid. That was how I relaxed n decided to wait it out. I just went ahead to intensify my plans.Ask me my plans.I wanted the details of my delivery, right from leaving my house to delivery room. I gave DH specific shots and video clips to take right from house. Infact from 36th week I ve been taking clips of my daily activities. me that  can be meticulous.i wrote it out and put it in my hospital bag. I even bought a cute sky blue dress and made a DIY hand sewn cap to wear during labour.I just wanted  the memories to be beautifully captured.
At 39th I think, i went for normal clinic visit,, sweep was attempted but baby hasn't descended well yet. Oluwa, with all the fuji dance, medal winning Olympic scx and walks I do everyday?I went back home so unhappy. Days later at EDD-2Days,I was at hospital again,sweep was done,tho baby was still not close to cervix,infact cervix was not dilating at all,so breaking of water was out of it. Midwife and Doc said I should hold on till 41.DH too was now begging baby to pls come out.At EDD+2 days, I became restless, something was telling me to be more vigorous about bringing baby out.i started to overthink. So many what ifs? i bacame more prayerful and watchful. I was not just at rest.That was how we went to the hospital in the evening to fake no movement, I m feeling weird story, etc.I was then put on induction list which was slated to happen in 24 to 36hrs.
I was on monitoring, first to be sure  I m fit, and to track baby events. Suddenly baby heartbeat dipped, and that was d alert needed. They said I can't go home again.Meanwhile, let me flash back a bit......DH had a special assignment the next day that would likely turn into money, he wanted to boycott and stay , I was like, oginni...Oga lo pa owo wale jare, it is just induction.( boss, go work and bring money hom). We decided he will start coming when the induction is about to start or when in active labour.
Back to monitoring....More hours of monitoring next day showed inconsistent low and fast baby heartbeat. That was how everything began to run fast.
Nurses just came in with jugs of water,Oya drink water, drink that...I drank and drank ,they said not enough, they later placed me on drip.that was how they began to call one another, from MWs to doctors on duty to obst, to consultant to chief Obs n every every. I asked for details,moreover i also can see the print out of the monitoring wasn't smooth again, and the machine would go flat or start beeping alarm several times. With all this I was still very calm o. My thoughts were, the induction time will be brought closer . That was how the chief consultant came and explained they can't  place what exactly is going on, but something is not right. Therfore they can't wait for induction, or risk me going through induction/normal labour.They have to bring baby out NoW and put me on watch.Meaning of Now, doesn't resonate with me at all, as I asked if i can eat the lunch the kitchen served, it was a meal I have never tried.The midwife with me just dropped a No with Echo. Haha.ok o. From d way they were coming in and out, I knew the time has come, i was filled with emotions.
So what about my plans? The sound tracks I want to dance to. My headset?My husband is not here.All ideas smashed. My hospital bag wasnot even there to start with. Haa what will my baby wear? I had packed 2 wears for his first outfit, because I couldn't decide.I was lost in d reality. I became so sad and was dropping small small tear. I m not against CS, but I hate d emmergency kind.it was around past 12. My husband was suppose to come in by 3pm after work. I asked if they can wait till 2, the man's response jerked me into reality on ground. They thought I was afraid of the CS, they started counselling bla bla bla, as they were doing all that I was chatting my husband to leave work, rush down home for bag and come over.At that moment, i just wanted him to be there to see his Prince being brought out.He has so longed for this.
I was wheeled into theatre. Omo that place fine , not saying this for any purpose pls, but seriously I kept admiring d big buzzing machines, as they were given me shots and preparing me. the courtesy of all the practitioners introducing themselves,n  the part they will play etc, blew me away.(Short cut of that moment)DH was able to make it just before the cut. I started telling him what led to where he met me,  DH wasnt rly listening o, he was terrified. See person wey I wan rely on for strength.My husband was legit shaking stylishly. Infact table turned, I was d one holding his hands, and telling him it s going to be over soon,etc.I had to keep assuring him, cos he looked like person wey go pass out any time T. I felt the cut, every bit of the tearing n the pressure but no pains,I was gisting him how I was feeling. Before we know it, they brought out our bundle of joy. 
He was loudly screaming.That moment, I can't describe in words. I had a feeling of victory. Contentment.Like I own the world. I had to fight back the tears.Niether of us remembered any yeye plans. We were both shocked, happy and trying to fight back the tears held in our voices as we speak softly to each other. It was d physicians that jeared us back and asked if we want some pictures. Haaa, nah true ooo.One of the physicians eventually helped in taking some shots. Baby was then taking away for more checks.He came out dry and dehydrated. After the delivery, they just did myomectomy straight away. 2 in 1 operarion it was.
For the first12hrs,I wore the hospital gown, my son wore the hospital outfit too. Man proposes, God disposes.Pictures or video was the last thing on our minds. We just wanted to be assured he is fine when he was delivered.And Yes he was fine, And he still is, and will always.
I m sorry if this it coming late, but like I said, it hasn't been easy being a new mother with no-one around to help.
I wish all pregnant woman on this thread safe delivery. Mother and child will come out alive to sing the victorious song.

Congratulations Mama.

Niyyah:
My BS
This was an eventful pregnancy for me. I'll try to keep it as comprehensive as much as possible.
We decided to start trying for baby no 3 after our youngest 4th birthday. It took a few months before it finally happened.
My first trimester was a very calm one, I had mild nausea, vomited like 3times and I could eat the food for the whole house!!
2nd Trimester came, and at exactly 17weeks, I woke up with some nasty chicken pox rashes, I had no idea how I contracted it at all, probably at work and it wasn't what I had as a child too, so it was such a dangerous one for my baby, apparently the baby can be born with so many defects because of the virus, so I was moved from my community midwife to the consultant team at the hospital, as soon as the spots scabbed over. I started having monthly scans and extra checks just to be sure my baby wasn't affected by the virus and thankfully everything looked OK. Then at 24 weeks, I caught covid again! Kolohun shaanu! It was a very horrible cold, headache, blocked nose and every joints in my body were sore. I was so sad as I didn't know why everything was happening during the pregnancy �.
Covid done and gone, third trimester came with the pains/waddling and discomforts, then I started getting extremely thirsty, like I could drink LOTS of water in a day! I told my midwife at my next appointment and she sent me for a GTT ( glucose tolerance test) and when the result came back positive for gestational diabetes, it was as if my freedom and pregnancy was snatched away from me!! My sugar level was so high which was very bad for me/ baby as so many things could go wrong during the pregnancy/ childbirth, if my levels wasn't managed. Especially when I was told about the risk of shoulder dystocia/ stillbirth and all, it was so overwhelming.
I had an appointment with the diabetic team, where I had a chat with a dietician on my diet and food that I need to start eating, I had to cut all sugars from my diet and I was given my glucose monitor, where I had to be jabbing my fingers and be checking my sugar levels 4times a day! So my freedom to eat whatever I wanted was snatched away from me at 28weeks.
I cried so much the first time I did the finger prick as it was just too much for me. Dh went grocery shopping and I started my GD( gestational diabetes) diet the next day. At this point, I asked God for strength and put everything in his capable hands.
For weeks I was eating the same food everyday, and despite everything, my sugar levels were fluctuating so I was started on Metformin and as the pregnancy was progressing, my levels started rising again around 37weeks ish so I had no choice than to let the diabetic team know and I was started on night time Insulin at 38weeks.

After my 36weeks growth scan, induction was discussed as they were worried the baby could get too big if I reached 40weeks and there was a risk of shoulder dystocia. We agreed on me, getting induced at 40weeks exactly but to have stretch and sweep from 38weeks. The first one didn't work as my cervix was posterior and thick, so I started walking, doing more house chores and bouncing loads on my birth ball as I was hoping that could make a difference. Fortunately, when I went for my second sweep on the 28th April, my midwife was able to give me a nice sweep and contractions started few hours later. I still wasn't sure if it was the real deal starting, so I decided to manage and see if there'll be a progress. I couldn't sleep at all during the night because of how painful the contractions were, and when we woke up for Suhur( Ramadan pre dawn meal), I had to call the maternity triage unit and was asked to come in ASAP. When I got there and I was examined, the midwife said I was already 6cm! But my contractions were still irregular and sac was still intact. When the drama started, I asked for some sort of pain relief so I was given gas and air, which took an edge off the pain. It wasn't enough for me as the contractions were getting more intense, so I asked for for an epidural and before they could call the anesthesiologist, the midwife decided to check me and saw that I was fully dilated so it was too late for any epi. My sac was broken and after pushing for almost 47mins( wallahi), my prince came out, very chunky, screaming his lungs out, weighing 3.79kg! And every pain, tears, needle pricks, insulin injections, all the aches, the tears, the fears and the emotional roller coaster floated away like it never happened. I calculated it and saw that I jabbed my fingers more than 250 times during the course of my GD diagnosis, and that's minus the insulin I had to inject on my thigh every night as well. Kasha ma dupe.
Alhamdulillah Robbil ahlameen.
I wish all the waddling mamas easy and swift deliveries. May Allah Azzawajal answer all the prayers of our gtc mamas. Gbogbo wa lama Jere omo wa lagbara olohun. Aameen
Cappo@Expectantmom.

Waoh Waoh Waoh!!!

NeroPapas:
OK Una evening.. This is KingNeropapas aka DP, that is to say Daddy Phoenix grin... I wan share our BS!!!

I for don nack una the tory but I see say plenty dust been raise for here and be like say no be right time, plus I've been doing daddy duties!
My wife's pregnancy journey was very smooth and stress free.. We TTC'd for a year and God answered us July last year. We registered under a scheme the moment we realised she was preggy. I chose the scheme cos private hospitals in Port Harcourt can really be expensive.
I didn't miss any ANC session with my wife.. I have the time so I could narrate all these stories better.
Let's fast forward to week 33 which was a bit scary cos wify had a high BP which was handled with few medications. We were given 2 EDDs, 15th and 18th April... We did more than 8 scans during pregnancy, that's because my wife works at an ultra sound center wink at a point, I had to caution her. Most of the scan said 15th, while two said 18th.
Sunday 10th of April started as a normal cool Sunday, the day started with BD which madam initiated grin, I have to give in cos una know na..!
By 2pm that day, We were in the sitting room watching TV.. I laid on the sofa, while madam sat pon di floor. She then stood up to get something from the bedroom, that was when she noticed water gush! She called me and I was like so what next? She said we wait! Ngwanu, we dey wait. I been don pack bag keep since. I then call my neighbour, a mother of 4 to come help check my wife, she came and said yes.. Water e yaff break. Madam don wear comfit pad and we dey wait. Could you all believe that after two hours, with the water still running at intervals, there's no contraction whatsoever. All other signs that were supposed to follow refuse to show up. Wify was still laidat.. I come turn doctor dey ask her.. How are you feeling now? She said nothing. Ha.. Nothing ke. Oya begin walk upandan na.. She did and still nothing. Wo after about an hour, making it wakati Meta (3 hours) that water haff broken.. I told her, we're going to the hospiru grin. We got there about 6pm. They confirmed water haff broke but service sorry cervix yaff not open. Ha, my village people, not today pls grin.. Well they monitored her all through the night, Baby's heartbeat was fine and she was fine too.. They said its normal in FTMs for water to break and contractions could start 12-18 hours later.
24hrs has passed still nothing. We were then sent for scan at about 10am.. The result showed baby was 39weeks old that day with EDD being 18th April. But the woman said the baby has to come out within the next 48hrs. Ok kila mase bayi? What's next? The doctor said we wait till night that if no show, they'll induce her.
So I stepped out to stroll while wify went back to her bed. Let's than 30mins,i came back to the labor ward, my wife is already on oxygen and drip.. Ha edakun, wazall this? They said the Baby's heartbeat is fainting abi going up! Ejo, pardin?? Don't let me faint here!! My wife has never been sick or admitted in her almost 3 decades of existence.. So the whole oxygen thing traumatised her. I calmed her and told her its just oxygen and its for her and the baby.. I now asked, didn't we just do a scan and everything is fine?? Why on earth is the Baby's heartbeat going up.. to where? At this point, I was scared too but didn't show it. My wife was on drip cos she was weak at this point. My younger brother called me and I narrated everything to him.. That's when he gingered that we shouldn't wait till midnight for the inducement. I then met the doctor and spoke to him calmly. He said well, CS is the next thing that if we wait till that midnight, something could go wrong.. Ha.. Ejo sir, Eni soribu cheesy grin. He said if they induce her, it may not work so well will still come to the CS.
I say ese sir.. Leave inducement out of this.. Let's go straight to CS.. That's how my wife was prepared for it!
At exactly 6pm, 11th April, 2022, Our CP.. Crown Prince was brought out of the operation room wink wink.. I didn't know how to feel. He greeted me cry.. I said welcome son cheesy grin grin!
Ejo, Where's my wife?? After about Anada 15 minutes, I was called to come and assist to carry my wife out of the operation room. Stepping in, I saw my beautiful wife smile at me. I kissed her pon di forehead grin grin.... Chai, see love in the theater cheesy.
My boy weighed 3.5kg and 50cm tall. We left the clinic after 3days...with baby, mother and daddy doing Fantabulous grin cheesy cheesy
All Glory to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who saw us through the journey.. May His name alone be Praised... Amin
Thank you for reading our BS.. LOVE YOU ALL

May God answer every woman and every family seeking a child or children. For all preggy moms.. You Shall carry to full term and there shall be no loss... The Bible said.. None shall cast their young. We shall not cast our young in Jesus name.

Beautiful birth story.. Congratulations NeroPapas..

PART 2
I was really over joyed and i registered when pregnancy was 12weeks old.
You guys know dat for every new hospital u register with they will ask u questions on your health history and d rest.

During my first antenal class d matron read through my card and told me to see their consultant gnae which i did and he wrote on d front page of my antenatal report card to always see him after closure of each antenatal class, i tried my best not to miss each appointment till i put to bed.

Apart from d normal discomfort, I had a very smooth and energetic pregnancy both in da oza room till my last trimester smiley wink

My Consultant told me they will be monitoring d pregnancy till 36weeks and bring baby out because of my previous experience to avoid story, after 36wks appointment with him he told me theres no cause for alarm that everything is fine.
he told me to report to d hospital if i don't fall into labour on my edd which was on April 4th so dat i will be induced.

April 5th i carried my bag to hospital and was placed on admission to be induced d next day, but d induction failed and the doctors, midwife told me to avoid emergency case d next thing they will do for me is CS to save baby and myself.

I asked d doctor's if i could sign d papers myself cos i was alone at dat time and they responded with a big YES.... They brought d papers Immediately and after signing them i was moved to the theater for caesarien section.

Hubby was on transit to come meet me in d hospital but before he got there my baby girl was already out and was screaming so loud in d theater......i didn't know when i started sharing tears of joy that finally am now a mother!!

Baby edd was April 4th
I gave birth to my baby girl via elective cs on April 6th
Birth weight.... 3.2kg
We were dischared 3days later(mother, baby alive)

May God bless all ttc mother's and i wish the rest waddling mamas a safe and sound delivery.
Amen
Our cappo God bless you immensly and everyone that guided me here whenever i ran to this platform for advice.

Congratulations Mama.

FlowerGirl040:
All my children,I don't reach EDD,that's my nature,so when I was 37 weeks, contraction started,not serious,1cm but the nurse was saying I should go and relax besides my tummy is small,seems i didn't know my LMP. Ah! I told her but you know me very well na bec that's the hospital I have been using,she insisted. I vex see doctor himself, he told me to go for exercise and let's see. To cut the story short,I was in on and off labour for over a week,this people refuse me to go for induction,not that I have ever had CS o. With this I fell sick,so serious. By this time it's already past my edd. This same nurse complaining of my tummy treated me,she ask me to come for injection later. (That's the nurse my husband instructed me to see) I went there and she wasn't around,the other nurse was surprised I was ask to take that particular injection,it was after she administer it to me she told me I am not supposed to take it according to her understanding since I am past edd. Well,The nurse kept complaining my stomach is not big for a 9month old. Hubby said this is the closest hospital and his family hospital,they do attend.(thou they have 2 family hospitals) I have to make use of the hospital. See me see labour pains on and off. The horrible thing is that ever since my labour started,my urine change colour not knowing it's my water that is coming out bit by bit till it dried up.(to me it was that injection that caused everything) After a week and some days,I was like if I die now,what about my children and this man will marry another wife sef. Na so I vex pack my bag go hospital around 11pm in the night. I met the absence of doctor (private hospital) i explained everything to nurse. She gave me a tablet to put under my tongue,I returned home,took a shower by this time,real labour don start,I went back to hospital with my husband Sha,he left me there and instructed them to take care of me as there are other kids at home alone. (Mind you after I did scan at week 20, I wanted to do another again when I was 7months,hubby refused,he said no need nah since I have no Complain. I don't know I just have this strong feelings to do scan and check how baby was doing by then. Well I have no money on my own so I can't possibly go if he did not agree or give me money.)

I gave birth before 2hrs. Mid night o,the nurses where surprised I gave birth so easy with no water at all,total dried up,they said I am so lucky. Baby was making one kind sound,but it disappeared after a day. Up till his death, right from when I gave birth to him,he didn't cry. I lay my concern to hubby he said he will cry. My baby refuse breastmilk,even water sef,if I use spoon or feeding bottle everything will be pouring out from his corner mouth,it's like he can't swallow anything cry I was so scared and frustrated,let us take this child to general hospital,hubby said what for? His sisters and aunty talk,he said no need. Even when I bath him,no cry at all. All he does is to sleep,he only open his eyes for seconds. My instinct was just not at rest,I just know I will lost this child. That's how I manage till some days to his one month old,I will cry secretly at night holding my baby, praying to God to make me hear my baby's voice even for once bec it's as if there is no baby at home at all. A day to his death. I heard a sharp shout,I discovered it was my baby,I was thinking he's coming to terms of been in the world and not in the womb anymore,not knowing my baby will soon depart and just wanted me to hear his voice cry. Something yellowish liquid started coming out from his mouth. I called my husband on phone to come home let's take him to hospital,by this time I have started crying,he came home and said he will get him drugs. Ah!! Him and self medication!! It was after he left I went to carry baby,I discovered his body is kind of cold,I put my fingers in his mouth to open his teeth,for where,it was strong. By the time I know my baby was gone but I refuse to admit it. I left him on the bed,go to the kitchen,to prepare lunch. But still checking on him. When hubby came back I told him what's happening. I never knew he knows he is dead already but don't know how to tell me. He later did tell me after an hour Sha. And that was when I broke down. So my baby left me,I started thinking how I got pregnant,the labour pains, everything and I couldn't hold back my tears. When my children heard that their baby brother is dead,they started crying with me too. Let me stop here.
I am crying here already. Ignore any errors pls. cry cry cry

This is a negligence from the part of the hospital and hubby's behavior of I know what I am doing,I am the man of the house and I can never be wrong attitude. But then my life was at stake cry cry foolish me

I am sorry Mama.. God will comfort and console you. It is well with you..

BS
After the 4th IUI that failed in 2020 our Dr advised we move up to ivf but we should have myomectomy to take out the fibroid inpreparation for ivf and to also ptimize our chances. I had a successful myomectomy all glory to God and a large ovarian cyst was also taken out from my left ovary. The surgeon that performed the surgery was hopeful that we would get pregnant naturally within 3 months following the surgery but that didn't happen even after going for tubal flushing, so we went back to our ivf clinic for review and to start the ivf process, but I kept on postponing cos I was just scared and not ready to have another negative result, but finally in May/June 2021, we started the process and by the grace of God we got our bfp on our 1st try in July 2021 in our 7th year of marriage

Before we confirmed bfp, I developed ohss and lost hope that it would be positive, the ohss was so bad that I had to have the fluid drained from the side of my stomach, but I just kept telling God that would HE allow me go through all that and still get a negative result? 1st tri was not bad at all, though I was nauseous most of the time but I never threw up or had serious morning sickness, 2nd tri was a breeze but 3rd tri came with all its palava and I couldnt wait to offload

Right from when I started ANC at both private and govt hospital, I was scheduled for elective CS due to my history of myomectomy plus the private hospital said they don't take chances/risks with ivf pregnancy so I was told max gestation period for me would be 38 weeks and nothing beyond, so I was working with 38weeks delivery and decided to have the delivery at Luth only for us to go for ANC clinic and was told they won't even allow me get to 38weeks before they conduct the ELCS and so we were scheduled for Friday 18th March for surgery, and we had to change plans to work with new date I hadn't even rounded up work and needed to finish up by my day which was 16th March.

On Sunday 13th March I was too tired to go to church so I stayed back home, around 12noon i decided to eat some fruits dh bought and planned to cook fried rice for lunch. I decided that after washing the fruit I will quickly drive out to get the fried rice ingredients as hunger was already mamaring me, just as I stood up from where I was washing the fruits in the kitchen I felt this sharp pain that made me stop in my tracks the pain was breathtaking and I quickly sat back thinking it was lightning crotch and that it would fade away soon

I sat for some minutes and there was no relief infact my phone was ringing on the cabinet and I couldnt even stretch to pick it and just left it to ring not long after DH called and I knew if I don't pick he would panic so in that pain I managed to stretch and answered his call after some minutes I was able to manage to get to the bedroom and I laid down to sleep if the pain would relieve me, by this time I was so famished but there was nothing I could do DH called again after about an hour that he was leaving church but needed to stop by somewhere before getting home, I still didn't tell him I was in pain cos I was hopeful it would resolve after about an hour after and still no relief I called him and he was close by but he sensed something was wrong, he sha got home, helped me to the bathroom to shower and we headed to the hospital after stopping by to get something to eat, we got to the hospital, I was placed on admission and was told I was having contractions VE was done and good thing I wasn't dilating so contraction were stopped/ managed and I was told I would be on admission till my elcs date to be monitored

When dh got back home he moved our hospital box into the car that Sunday night, by Monday I was so much better but couldn't go to the office to have my handover but tried working in the hospital, I was told to carry out some test and if everything went well I would be transferred from labour ward to the admission ward, dh decided to leave hospital bag in his car since test results came back late so I couldn't be moved that Monday anymore.

At around 12am, I was still awake and watching a movie on my phone when the night Dr's were having the routine check, they discovered baby's heart rate was high and said baby was in distress so they needed to get him out ASAP, I tried to call dh but he wasn't picking and so that was how I was wheeled into surgery around 2am after trying to stabilise baby, surgery started and I just kept on praying and waiting to hear babyA, pediatrician was on ground and soon I heard BabyA's cry screaming down the whole place and surgeon was like this baby is not in any distress at all with the way he was crying, they didn't even let me see him the pediatrics team whisked him away, not long after I asked to see him and they said he was fine and was being checked that once they are through they will bring him to me, by this time I was balling my eyes out cos I just couldn't believe it that finally I am a mother, there was no cloth for babyA to wear cry so he was wrapped in their OR cloth inside that freezing OR they brought him to me and was told to confirm sex, surgery ended around after 5am I had to ask one cleaner for the time but couldn't call dh cos all my belongings had been taken to be kept, soon 1 Dr from the team came to check me in thr recovery area and it was his phone Iused to reach dh.

BabyA was kept in a cot by the foot of my bed and just kept on crying I couldn't move so I just kept on calling his name and asking him not to cry that daddy would soon be around. Not long afterwards dh arrived and babyA finally got something to wear and we were observed for a while before we got transfered to the ward, when I felt much better I picked him up from the cot and just kept on crying and praying for him am sure other ladies were wondering what is wrong with the one, but I could careless.

Anyways babyA and I were in perfect health despite his birth weight he was and still doing excellently well, inshort his birth assessment was very goof, we got discharged 3 days later and I tell you vigilante is very very real and nepa is annoyingly/ irritatingly mean, but we are taking one day at a time.

I use babyA as a point of contact to my TTC mamas that in no distant time you all will get to carry your bundle of joy in your womb and arms very very soon by God's grace

I wish the rest of my teamies yet to drop swift, safe and painless delivery and to those that have birthed their Lo's congratulations

Hello ma, sometimes it happens like that. My LMP EDD is May and since I started scanning, it's always been showing may until I did one Dec at the hospital and it gave me April. When hubby and I went to see LO this January, result came out as May

Okay ma..
