Godmother:
I have been avoiding this thread out of pain. I had my daughter in October 2015, although I was on the team in November.

Two years later in 2017, I took in again but sadly had a miscarriage. I bled for almost a month and had to undergo an evacuation. Since then, I've been struggling to conceive without success.

The first time I tried conceiving it happened within six weeks, the second time happened that same month, now five years later and no success.

I don't know what's happening. I'm currently on Pregnacare conception, but having severe signs my period is around the corner.

I'm so depressed right now. I keep seeing others get pregnant. Friends I gave birth together with in 2015 are on their third kids

This is just me pouring out my pains. I know God will answer me soon sha.

Please, Mamas, I ask that you all remember me in your prayers � �

I know you have heard this many times, but please hold on to God. He will do it at His time!
I pray it is soon for u.

Let me share my BA, it might encourage some pple here.

I don't even know where exactly to start. I have been visiting the TTC thread and this thread long before I even commented.
Got married to my God's gift to me really. A perfect gentleman and God's beloved. Took in the next month and birthed our angel without stress. I didn't know trying to conceive can ever be difficult, not to talk of almost impossible!

Miscarried the first pregnancy that happened even when we weren't trying.
Then I started having chronic tummy pains. I did all the tests in this world, MRI,CT scan,all the scans u can think of,yet nothing was seen!
But I kept languishing in undescribable pains! Oh how I wept each pain episode

I started numbing the pains with an addictive drug,because normal pain killers cant do it.
I decided to try again, I stopped d drug,and conceived again. I lost this one in the most brutal way....
Was at work,and had a sharp pain that brought me down. I was carried out.
Started having rectal pulling. Was rushed to the hospital,and was told it was ectopic

I died that day. I wailed! I started bleeding.
I was scheduled for an emergency. Darling hubby rushed down becos we weren't together cos of work. I went in for the surgery,the surgery was done. Again nothing was seen!!! No baby,no issues with me, absolutely nothing! I was wheeled out

That was my second miscarriage. The baby obviously left bfor I was wheeled in because I kept expelling some things at the hospital while waiting

I started trying again like mad. If u have ever had a loss,you will know exactly how hurting it feels and the urgent need u get to try again.
Tried and tried and tried,nothing again after a year of the second miscarriage.
Pple have started making side comments; do u still have only one child? Isn't it time for ur child to have siblings,etc
If I that have one suffered like that....I don't want to imagine what those without are going through!
Hubby decided to come home and stay more with me cos of the undiagnosed pains and all.
Took in again,this time around,we decided to keep it to ourselves.We were in intense prayers. Did scan and everything was ok.started duphaston.
3 months later,went to do scan and received the most hurting news; the heart has stopped! that was the third miscarriage.

The pain I felt can't even be described at this point. We were like ghosts.hubby and I. We missed the turn to our house while going back. It was horrible. I just kept sobbing. You can't hear me cry,but tears kept pouring down. Unstoppable,heart wrenching and excruciating.
I refused to remove my baby. I wished he/she will just start the beating heart again. But nothing. God said not yet.Hadto take drugs to expel it,and bled. After the whole process. We stopped trying.we said let's rest for a while.
I even started a contraceptive immediately. Taken once monthly. Took it twice and decided to wait for my period to start bfor I will know if my cycle has returned.....my period never started. I even went to do scan,the radiographer said I had PCOS,cos he saw many eggs. He didn't know they were eggs that stopped growing cos of the contraceptive I was on. We kept waiting for the period.
After some time,we just decided to do pregnancy test just in case,came out positive!
U see,when God decides to bless you or do His thing,He definitely needs no permission and He makes it perfect!
I was placed on progesterone insert and vasoprin. It might have helped but I know God was in charge.

I started bleeding at 34weeks, because of placenta previa. Was rushed to the hospital and had emergency cs because I lost some liquor too with the blood and baby was at risk.
In few minutes,I held the most gorgeous baby u will ever see! God's perfect gift to us!

What do I want to say?
Hold on! Your miracle is on the way,whoever you are!

They said no two pregnancies are the same, and truly, na true o. For my first baby, Labour started on my exact edd and extended to the next day. No previous sign prior to that date - No show, No waterbreaking, No false contractions sef.

This present one, I started cramping the second week of February. Although my scan gave 9th February as the due date, I had been advised by my doctor to stick to my lmp since the scan was done late in my pregnancy stage and can no longer be trusted. With the cramps however, I starting waiting on baby from 9th. On the 10th, I met with a doctor and told her of the cramps. She sought my permission to check if I had started dilating. I refused o. Moreso when she mentioned the extra option of doing a sweep if so. Remembering my experience with the sweep for my first pregnancy, I emphatically said no. "Madam doctor, leave me wo. Lemme be cramping in peace until baby decides to come." The next day, I attended my scheduled appointment with my family doctor who finally succeeded in convincing me to carry out the sweep as it will aid baby if he decides to come earlier. I no go lie shaa, it wasnt as painful as i thought. She finished and gladly announced i was 2cm dilated. I might also go into full labour anytime. She said.

I wore my clothes and joyfully went home to prepare for baby’s arrival until I decided to check goggle and found out that 'anytime' can even be upto 1weeks. I just weak.

Shaa, no labour on the 12th. For no reason, I don't like the number 13 and didn't want to give birth on that date. 13th reach, I gave myself compulsory bed rest with crossed legs sef to ensure nothing triggers contraction. I kept looking at the time and willing it to move faster. Finally, at 11pm, I freed myself from my bed rest as I decided that even if I should go into labour, I can't possibly give birth in one hour. It must fall into 14th Feb which I don't mind.

With my preferred date in mind, I did around 30 squats by that 11pm, and around 1:30pm, my water broke! However there was no contraction. Being a jjc in waterbreaking matters, I quickly ran to the hospital expected to give birth to my valentine baby. Unfortunately, I was sent back that night cos of the no contraction stuff. I was however told I would be called back for induction b4 24hrs elapses if labour doesn't start naturally before then. Like a soaked hen, I carried my delivery package home.

Labour no gree come shaa, but around 7pm, I was called for the induction and by 11pm, the process started. Looking at the time, I already knew I couldn't meet up with valentine anymore.

Active labour began around 3am when I started begging to be checked. The nurse did and said I was 3cm dilated. I fainted and woke up. With all my confidence that labour would be fast considering its my second journey! Shaa, thank God for the laughing gas I was given as pain management. It helped shaa. Long story short, by 4am, i was dilated to 5cm. At that point, i could swear that i was at my limit. By 5am, i was at 8cm and finally became fully dilated around 6am.

Time to push, i was already tired but well determined to end it. Three long pushes, with the warning that i was pushing with my legs instead of my bum, my prince charming flew out. I was checked and declared tearless. Thank God!
For my first baby, i was given episiotomy and that probably made the delivery faster. I was humbled by this experience as i realised that pushing without cuts is actually ...

All the same, thanks to team february for having me. I now sign officially into 4th tremester which unfortunately has been stressful so far. But we are all overcomers in all circumstances. Safe delivery to all remaining mamas.

Forgive all errors. I typed all this feeling sleepy and i can"t reread abeg. Senior mamas, i dey vex for una shaa. If bs has been flying around here as it has always been, i would have been better prepared about what to expect with this totally different experience.

@Bennytwin that's so amazing and inspiring.

Amen!

UmmuFarrah:

Some so called relatives and their way of making difficult times more difficult ehn....oh God I hate them with their nonsense fake concern attitude. If you don't have problem, if you have one headache, you have only girls talk, only boys nko talk again. That's how they almost made me feel useless because my girl will be 4 soon and supposed to have had siblings already. Shey na them gave me her before ni abi I asked for their opinion before her conception shiorr. God should just help somebody ni jare. It is well mama @ Godmother. Almighty will grant your heart desires soonest. Amen

True, sometimes people will just talk carelessly and a woman will weep for a whole day...God will help us all

Being a jjc in waterbreaking matters, I quickly ran to the hospital expected to give birth to my valentine baby. Unfortunately, I was sent back that night cos of the no contraction stuff. I was however told I would be called back for induction b4 24hrs elapses if labour doesn't start naturally before then. Like a soaked hen, I carried my delivery package home.

Labour no gree come shaa, but around 7pm, I was called for the induction and by 11pm, the process started. Looking at the time, I already knew I couldn't meet up with valentine anymore.

Active labour began around 3am when I started begging to be checked. The nurse did and said I was 3cm dilated. I fainted and woke up. With all my confidence that labour would be fast considering its my second journey! Shaa, thank God for the laughing gas I was given as pain management. It helped shaa. Long story short, by 4am, i was dilated to 5cm. At that point, i could swear that i was at my limit. By 5am, i was at 8cm and finally became fully dilated around 6am.

Time to push, i was already tired but well determined to end it. Three long pushes, with the warning that i was pushing with my legs instead of my bum, my prince charming flew out. I was checked and declared tearless. Thank God!
For my first baby, i was given episiotomy and that probably made the delivery faster. I was humbled by this experience as i realised that pushing without cuts is actually ...

All the same, thanks to team february for having me. I now sign officially into 4th tremester which unfortunately has been stressful so far. But we are all overcomers in all circumstances. Safe delivery to all remaining mamas.

Forgive all errors. I typed all this feeling sleepy and i can"t reread abeg. Senior mamas, i dey vex for una shaa. If bs has been flying around here as it has always been, i would have been better prepared about what to expect with this totally different experience.

Congratulations mama. And God bless LO, quick recovery mama

Please oh mamas I'm here again, is there any difference if you go for scan with a doctor's report in another lab and when u just go on your own? I called two labs to inquire prices of scan to know baby's gender and one said 8,600 and the other one said 7500 naira, is it because I want to do it on my own or is that how expensive it is to check baby's gender??

Scan prices vary and depends on where you go…my hospital charges 4500 for scan while union lab I have used charges 2500 or thereabout for scan…:it varies depending on where you go

Okay thanks very much mama, I really appreciate

Hi mamas. I’m really bothered about my weight. I’m 22 weeks gone and weigh 88kg currently. It’s getting me worked up as I used to be a fitfam fanatic before I got pregnant. Is there any healthy thing to do to watch my weight? I don’t want to be a whale cos I’m pregnant

Teamie we are in the same boat o, last time I went for antenatal I weighed 88kg too, all I'm praying for is a healthy baby since there is nothing I can do now except eat healthy and the annoying thing is I don't usually have appetite so I force myself to eat still my weight is increasing like no man's business. Don't worry God gat us and our babies

Experienced mamas, please what could be the cause of this red patch on my babies head.. I’ve used sudocrem, tribotan, Vegas mixed with white capsule and cacantin on it but it still there.. been over a month and my baby has lost a lot of hair.. what can I do?

Godmother:
I have been avoiding this thread out of pain. I had my daughter in October 2015, although I was on the team in November.

Two years later in 2017, I took in again but sadly had a miscarriage. I bled for almost a month and had to undergo an evacuation. Since then, I've been struggling to conceive without success.

The first time I tried conceiving it happened within six weeks, the second time happened that same month, now five years later and no success.

I don't know what's happening. I'm currently on Pregnacare conception, but having severe signs my period is around the corner.

I'm so depressed right now. I keep seeing others get pregnant. Friends I gave birth together with in 2015 are on their third kids

This is just me pouring out my pains. I know God will answer me soon sha.

Please, Mamas, I ask that you all remember me in your prayers � �

Mama do not loose hope, the God that gave you your first is still in the business of granting our heart desires, I am going to encourage you with my story, last year made it four years I had my second child and I started trying immediately for the third because it was difficult conceiving after I had my first but it was unexplained miscarriages upon miscarriages, the last one was even an ectopic pregnancy, after the whole ectopic pregnancy issue I knelt down and told God thank you for these ones you have given me, I stopped tracking my cycle, stopped all forms of treatment, I just decided I was done, lo and behold I conceived without knowing even when I found I didn't know how far gone I was because I had stopped keeping tracks of my cycle. This is just to let you know God starts from where we stop. You are next to testify

Bennytwin:


I know you have heard this many times, but please hold on to God. He will do it at His time!
I pray it is soon for u.

Let me share my BA, it might encourage some pple here.

I don't even know where exactly to start. I have been visiting the TTC thread and this thread long before I even commented.
Got married to my God's gift to me really. A perfect gentleman and God's beloved. Took in the next month and birthed our angel without stress. I didn't know trying to conceive can ever be difficult, not to talk of almost impossible!

Miscarried the first pregnancy that happened even when we weren't trying.
Then I started having chronic tummy pains. I did all the tests in this world, MRI,CT scan,all the scans u can think of,yet nothing was seen!
But I kept languishing in undescribable pains! Oh how I wept each pain episode

I started numbing the pains with an addictive drug,because normal pain killers cant do it.
I decided to try again, I stopped d drug,and conceived again. I lost this one in the most brutal way....
Was at work,and had a sharp pain that brought me down. I was carried out.
Started having rectal pulling. Was rushed to the hospital,and was told it was ectopic

I died that day. I wailed! I started bleeding.
I was scheduled for an emergency. Darling hubby rushed down becos we weren't together cos of work. I went in for the surgery,the surgery was done. Again nothing was seen!!! No baby,no issues with me, absolutely nothing! I was wheeled out

That was my second miscarriage. The baby obviously left bfor I was wheeled in because I kept expelling some things at the hospital while waiting

I started trying again like mad. If u have ever had a loss,you will know exactly how hurting it feels and the urgent need u get to try again.
Tried and tried and tried,nothing again after a year of the second miscarriage.
Pple have started making side comments; do u still have only one child? Isn't it time for ur child to have siblings,etc
If I that have one suffered like that....I don't want to imagine what those without are going through!
Hubby decided to come home and stay more with me cos of the undiagnosed pains and all.
Took in again,this time around,we decided to keep it to ourselves.We were in intense prayers. Did scan and everything was ok.started duphaston.
3 months later,went to do scan and received the most hurting news; the heart has stopped! that was the third miscarriage.

The pain I felt can't even be described at this point. We were like ghosts.hubby and I. We missed the turn to our house while going back. It was horrible. I just kept sobbing. You can't hear me cry,but tears kept pouring down. Unstoppable,heart wrenching and excruciating.
I refused to remove my baby. I wished he/she will just start the beating heart again. But nothing. God said not yet.Hadto take drugs to expel it,and bled. After the whole process. We stopped trying.we said let's rest for a while.
I even started a contraceptive immediately. Taken once monthly. Took it twice and decided to wait for my period to start bfor I will know if my cycle has returned.....my period never started. I even went to do scan,the radiographer said I had PCOS,cos he saw many eggs. He didn't know they were eggs that stopped growing cos of the contraceptive I was on. We kept waiting for the period.
After some time,we just decided to do pregnancy test just in case,came out positive!
U see,when God decides to bless you or do His thing,He definitely needs no permission and He makes it perfect!
I was placed on progesterone insert and vasoprin. It might have helped but I know God was in charge.

I started bleeding at 34weeks, because of placenta previa. Was rushed to the hospital and had emergency cs because I lost some liquor too with the blood and baby was at risk.
In few minutes,I held the most gorgeous baby u will ever see! God's perfect gift to us!

What do I want to say?
Hold on! Your miracle is on the way,whoever you are!
Team February,BA submitted!

TEAM MAY OTHERWISE KNOWN AS TEAMPERFECTION!

FEBRUARY ROLL CALL FOR TEAM MAY 2022.

Hello teamies! How are we all doing? Please let's start talking and chatting with each other because that is the main purpose of this group and our seniors have been excellent in helping out with some concerns and advice which I know most if not all of us appreciates.

I will lead by example by providing Little one's gender and I'll like us to follow suit. I'll try as much as possible to always update our roll call till the end of every successful birth because the Lord has perfected all that concerns us, He will surely see us through alive and healthy.

I hope we have started shopping for baby's things(I have and almost done)? Please let's endeavor to do so before we become heavier which would then become harder to do. For those who are going through financial challenge, may Almighty God miraculously surprise you beyond your expectations and He will make things easy for and on us.

Furthermore, please let's take our antenatal drugs seriously and also eat healthy like eating fruits no matter how little it is.

Lastly, God Almighty that has brought us this far will see us through. None among us shall die nor have a still birth. We shall carry to term and people shall rejoice with us very soon in Jesus name.

The first sonographer gave me a wrong date

I am now a Team July , not August

Mama Peggy wants to offload sharp sharp . How did you know the first sonographer's date was wrong?

Scan sis, i don't know my LMP i was of FP before it happened due to mybown negligence to renew

FlowerGirl040:
Sis. Team July by LMP or scan?

Long story, i went for scan first week of Jan and was told i was 8weeks. 2 nights ago, i saw a dark blood like stain on my pant, so i went to the hospital to see a doc who sent me for a scan. I was attended to by another sonographer, he told me i was 17 weeks and i was shocked, cox its supposed to be around 13 weeks, i went back to the doc who told me to go for an external scan in echo lab, cox he too was surprised at the difference from my ist scan. So i went for the scan today and the scan showed 17 weeks just like the one of yesterday, infact the sonographer said the baby he is seeing can't be 13 weeks...in all I'm just grateful to God that this was sorted now... So that's how i drew my conclusion.

Another Pointer, i was supposed to renew my injection on the 16th of October last year, i didn't renew till 5th Nov, from my calculations pregnancy took place in October which made the Nov injection not to work.
