She is right. I had one too and was told to do same. Aside sitting on it, I also dip cotton wool in antiseptic water (hot but bearable) and hold to the site for a while. You can also use a cold compress on the swelling. Quick recovery mama.

Thanks for responding ma

I have been ttc after my last child, but no show, so I decided to stop trying and reduce my weight a bit cus I was weighing 97kg..surprisenly the following month I missed my period, na so pregnancy enter oo.

Through out the first trimester it was hell for me, I hardly eat, sometimes a day will pass without eating, in fact the Ms was terrible..
Fast forward to second and third trimester , I enjoyed the bump no more sickness.. Until when I went to antenatal and my pb was 140/100...but with my previous pregnancies it's usually 110 or 120..

At 39 weeks I checked my bp in a pharmacy and it was 180/90...
I quickly rushed to the hospital it was around 7 pm... The doctor checked and said my bp was high... So he said since am due, that I have to be induced... He gave me some drugs for the bp and also a bottle of Castor oil, he said I should finish the whole bottle an hour after dinner,then come back the following morning for proper induction (that's if I didn't fall into labor)... Hmmm that night wasn't funny oo, I went to loo more than 8 times, it remained for me to excrete my intestine... I was so weak and was having little cramps..

When I got to the hospital in the morning , he checked and my bp was 150/80, he admitted me, I told them that am not feeling any labour pain, and I was 2cm dilated...they now gave me a hot drip that lasted from 10 am to 5 pm, yet I wasn't feeling any contraction.. Around 11 am that morning while I was still on drip, I felt like someone who has not eaten for days, I begged the nurses to help me buy food outside and they said they can't go out once on duty... So I told them to remove the drip let me find something and eat, as soon as I stood up, I passed out, that was when they rushed and got food for me, those nurses are very annoying I swear,the matron came and checked my cervix and it was 5.5cm dilated but no contraction,they kept monitoring my bp and baby's heartbeat...it was around 7pm that my husband came with better food and he stayed with me...

Around 8 pm, they gave me two injections I don't even know the name, even after the injection yet no contraction, then around 11 pm the doctor came and gave me a drug to place under my tongue... Not until 2 a.m, I started having contractions that comes every 3 minutes and lasts for 50 seconds... The pains became stronger and comes every minutes, the pains where so unbearable unlike my other pregnancies, I went to hell and came back. Those nurses left me and was gisting, they don't even come to check on me... It's my husband that goes to call them.

When it was around 6 am, I felt like a big poo want to come out, I told those nurse , one said I should poo on the bed, the other said I should not push that I will give myself tear, I kept shouting I want to poop, then I pushed and they started running Helter Skelter, one of the nurses said lets break the water, when they did that the water splashed every where.. Both of them went out again to get the delivery mat, I have pushed and the baby's head was out when they came back, they asked me to push two more times and my baby was out. I even passed out after delivery... I will never use that hospital again, the nurses are something else. My baby weighed 3.5kg , I thought I was going to have the worst tears because I pushed on my own, but right now we're 8 days today I don't even feel any pain down there.

Congratulations mama. Thank God for coming through for you.

Nurses in government and some private hospitals are really like that just like we see in movies. How do they really have such hearts?

The journey of ttc started in 2018 after marriage, the last thing I ever expected was to look for a child. Fought several battles from infection, to ovarian cyst, to irregular menstruation, to low sperm count, spent Hundreds of thousands trying to conceive. To cut the long story short in September 2020 I went to work as an adhoc staff in my states election, I was already 4 days late on my period before traveling to the village I was posted to officiate , I didn't see being late as anything cos I've been 5 and 6 days late yet disappointed before so I travelled with my sanitary pad. After the election and returning home I discovered I was having a fever I complained to DH and he was like probably it's the stress from the election process coupled with the fact that I slept outside a public school field. The night of my arrival from the election, DH was trying to help me arrange my bag I came home with and noticed I didn't use my sanitary pad, he asked and I told him I just noticed that I didn't see my period. Next day I told him I needed to treat malaria but he insisted I take a pregnancy test first he bought me test strips that turned positive for the first time after ttc for 2 years. And so the journey to mother hood started . First trimester was a smooth sail apart from heart burn and constipation no morning sickness or nausea what so ever. Second trimester was the smoothest sail, I could eat and sleep with ease, third trimester came with sleeplessness and waist pain.

On Sunday 2nd of May I had two contractions at night By dawn of Monday the pain started coming and going with very irregular timing sometimes 1hr, 30 mins, 2hrs in-between, I went to the salon to make my hair yet the contraction kept on coming and going . I called my matron and she told me to come in for checking by 2pm the following day considering that my EDD was still 10 days away. Then night came ooohh God of heaven the contraction became intense and I started going to the toilet to poo with heavy contractions..after going to the toilet 3 times within 6 contractions in two hours , by 1am I called my matron again, she asked if the contraction were close in timing? I said NO, if they were 5-15 mins apart? I said NO, if I had seen my water? I said NO, if I had seen my mucus plug? I said NO... She still said "owk just watch out for those signs you can come in by morning let me check you".. the next time I had a contraction that made me go to the toilet by 2:13am , I checked and I saw a transparent mucus with blood stain, I didn't bother to call my matron back ,I just made up my mind to wait till morning. After seeing the plug, the pains intensified and I couldn't sit or stand through the contraction anymore. If I was standing, the pains would bring me to my kneel.. I continued bearing the pain till 4:30am I went to wake hubby to get ready I needed to go cos the pains were becoming unbearable. By 5am we were out of the house the drive to the hospital was 35 mins as free as the road was. I had three heavy contractions with pains that spread from my back lower waist to the front during the drive. When we got to the hospital I couldn't move my legs to come down from the car. When the pains reduced I quickly came down and tried my best to walk into the hospital. My BP was checked, then the matron came in with gloved hands around 5: 58am to check me, she inserted her hands and the next thing she was giving instructions to the two nurses with her on what and what to bring. She told me to try and climb the delivery bed then I asked " please ma how many CM?" She answered you're 6cm. I was left there to go through 3 more excruciating contractions by 6:15 am she came in to check again, as she put her hands in she said " you're 8cm, stay still I want to rupture your membrane" then I felt hot gush of water flow out" the pain of contraction that followed made me tear the hospital pillow with my teeth, Then it was time to push.. it was difficult to push through the pain, I couldn't even keep my legs up. I pushed through 5 contractions in total and my baby was out by 6:56am by my husband's check weighing 3.9kg with no tears just a minor bruise. The pains made the time so long I thought it was even 7 or 8am.

God be Praised
He changed my status free of charge

It's normal mama if it's just spotty stains. You can use panty liners for them.

Constipation is also normal. But try changing your diet to more of vegetables and fruits to ease bowel movements

Capoo . We are here o. Bag is fully packed. And I have started my walking exercise. We are almost 36 weeks . Glory to God! Please when can we start taking zobo and pineapple? And I need info on nipple cleaning. By the way, my breasts are just normal. Like, nothing is happening in my breasts. No pain, no increase. Nothing. Is it normal? I was expecting full boobs with milk by now . I'm a FTM.

Good morning ma'am I like the fact that your bags are packed. is like you want to port to May and leave us in June, Anyway we pray for the best.
As for cleaning of the nipples I think you can start nowto clean with coconut oil 15 minutes before you take your bath in the morning and night. I stand to be corrected though. And as for the the zobo and pineapple please wait till atlest 38 weeks so that we are sure that the LO one is really really baked and already for the outside world before we start taking anything that might induce labor.

I just spoke with a doc and he claimed its being monitored.. Earlier we did ctg with a machine but he saying the monitor it manually,

That aside,

The head consultant at 3am said we have to watch her for two hours so by 5pm, we should expect the consultant.

Also the doc said she's now 9cm... But the 1cm matters somuch fo the baby to come out.

The contraction is more frequent.. My wife feels very weak atm

Thank God. Trust mother and child are doing great. Congratulations to you Daddy

Thanks sis.. I've chatted you WhatsApp message

Congratulations! What a huge relief. It ended in praise.

My God... Shout out to all mothers and women at large.. My experience has repositioned my focus about you. You are a rare gem and gift to the world.

The hospital asked me to be in the labor room, so I watched my wife grion, shout, beg for Cs, ask me not to let her die, ask me not to ever leave her.. I was crying inside bt i cudnt show it... Her head was all red and I prayed she doesn't run insane.. I have never seen her like this...she was in severe pain as contraction took place and cervix was at 7cm from 2am to 4.30pm when it dilated further to 8.5 - 9cm.
Even at 9cm, the lower doctors where saying we wud proceed to Cs at 5pm...

My God.. Is this what yall go thru?

God bless my wife.. I love you more in measures in can't quantify.. I respect all mothers and women..

I beg God not to take my wife cos I will nevr slget any like her...

I love u mariam
