B.S! B.S!! B.S!!!.

I had to bring out time to write this birth story since Mamas are already complaining of July Mamas starving them.
I weaned my second son last year September when he clocked 1. I normally don't get my period until I'm done breastfeeding.
I saw my period once after that and didn't get it the next month. I was relaxed thinking it's just my body playing tricks on me.
Meanwhile, I did a pregnancy test and it was negative so I looked forward to seeing it the next month.
The next month, it came out for just a day and stopped, that was when I got worried, I ran a P.T and it said negative. I picked up my phone Nd entered Google(normally, I'm a Google freak) . Any small issue ,I don enter Google .
Google said alot of things like PID, hormonal imbalance. I saw something about guava leaves and it's benefits. I went In search of guava leaves to boil and drink.
Few months later, an old woman made a remark about me looking pregnant, the next day I ran a P.T and it showed positive.
I went for scan this year January and it showed I was already entering 2nd trimester with due date as 17july.
I hid it from my late mum cos I didn't want g
Her to panick cos we were going through some tough patches financially and she was sick(breast cancer).
She found out I was pregnant after her mastectomy . I didnt tell her, but she suspected I was pregnant (she was a retired nurse). She was still in the hospital recovering from the surgery and I was the one taking care of her.
She put me to a test to be sure I was pregnant, and I failed. She took out folic acid from the loads of medicine they gave her and handed it over to me and when I took it from her, that was when she confirmed I was pregnant.
This was around March. She left the hospital and I had to go stay with her to take care of her plus I was having issues with my husband.
At that, I was really going through alot plus my 2 hyperactive sons I had to take care of as well.
I did my best to cope with everything I was going through. Mum died June 9 after struggling to live. It broke me but I was grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to spend her last days with her. I was heartbroken, everything reminded of her, nobody understood what I was going through, I couldn't share it with anyone.i lost weight.
At that moment, I was just praying to God for strength to push my baby out cos I was stressed out.i started having preterm contractions at 32weeks. I took salbutamol.
Fast forward to the day of my Delivery. Sunday I was having on and off contractions a week before Sunday, I was just getting my things ready for the d day.
Sunday around 1pm , I decided to do some laundry just Incase I give birth that week. After the laundry, I entered the kitchen to prepare food,that was when I notice stronger contractions unlike the ones that come and go.
I informed my brother and my father that was there with me.i took a hot bath dressed up and continued preparing the rice since I felt the contractions were not painful enough to rush to the hospital and I was scared of that vaginal examination.
My mind was telling me to just go cos the hospital alil bit far.
I informed my brother and we left for the hospital with my 2kids leaving my father at home .
We got to the hospital, everywhere was dry due to its Sunday. Just few nurses and no doctors.
They went In search of my file, it was taking long so one of the nurses asked me to come for vaginal examination only for her to check and say 6cm .I was surprised cos I was not in much pain like I expected.
They asked for the hospital items and cloth that baby will wear.
I provided them. 20 minutes later my membrane has not ruptured so she asked me to come for her to rupture the membrane.
Meanwhile i was asking her to please call the doctor Incase I need to get a tear and I didn't really trust her with the stitching ( I had tear for my 2sons).
She got angry but I kept I Insisting for her to call the doctor which she did . meanwhile,I entered the theater for her to rupture my membrane,she said something about me having uribe in my bladder ,she inserted catheter and removed the urine before she could rupture the membrane.
Only for her to finish the rupturing, and tell me that I'm fully dilated, I should start pushing, I was shocked.
2mins later,I felt the urge to push and I started pushing. The baby's head got stuck In my vagina, meanwhile I was pushing and I was shouting that it's going to give me a tear like I told them.
As God would have it, the nurses rushed and got olive oil and poured on the baby's head that was stuck and she used her hand to turn the baby's head. That was how I pushed out the baby weighing 3.2kg without any tear.
To an extent, I thank God the doctor wasn't around and used the nurses to make me deliver without tear.
Sorry for the typo error and the long B.S.i typed all this in a hurry.
Wishing all Mama's a Safe and stress free delivery.
According to my elder sister, my Late Mum entered the theater with me and made sure everything went smoothly. And I actually believe she did cos she was there for the delivery of my 2sons and I know she wouldn't leave me all to myself in this one too.

Omakraid:

Your B.S got me emotional. I thank God for the strength he gave you to carry on. It's not easy at all being strong with all that has happened to you.
God in his Mercies will Strengthen you, your LO and your family in general...Amen.

That's the only problem but you can add milk to reduce it.... You'll just have to bear it for you and your LO.

Good afternoon mamas,I have been craving the nescafe 3 in 1 coffee for a month now,but right now I don't think I can hold it any longer, please is it safe to take just this once

Goldie50:
I think you can have coffee once in a while in SMALL quantity. Everything should be in moderation. Pregnancy cravings can be very difficult to overlook. That was how I was craving abacha two days ago. I passed the woman's shop, but I had to go back because I couldn't hold it. I asked if there's kaun(potash), she said YES. I just told her to give me HALF plate. I enjoyed every bit of it and I'm perfectly fine. No cramping. Nothing. I'm sure baby is fine too. I think we can enjoy our cravings in SMALL quantities.

callola:
please Sabi Mama's, I'm 23 weeks pregnant and during ANC I was told that my blood level is very low. please what can I take to increase it a bit? thanks

1stymom:



You can get blood tonic as suggested and also try ugwu with milk... You can always squeeze your ugwu leaves and drain the juice for consumption.

potassium is actually gud 4 u n d baby... Anything ending wit "ium" rg calcium, magnesium except helium thou in food or medication is good 4 all preggy mamas infact u must not lack in dem... So enjoy ur abacha weneva u want it... If kaun is bad durin pregnancy we yorubas wont hv being eating ewedu anyhow cs we add potash to ewedu to mk it drawy.

kokaiye:
i dey alwz look n pass weeva anybody say dis but omo!!! E don dey too much, dis advice is wrong.... u shld knw dis dt ugwu n milk dont go together. Ugwu have plenty of iron in it n milk have calcium... Milk will render d iron in ukwu useless by mkin d body not able to absorb d iron in ukwu reason y doctors alwz say used iron 2hrs b4 or after u use calcium in order to get better result. Iron n calcium contradict each oda.

Goldie50:
Wow! Thanks for the info mama!!! Hmmm... Google is filled with many talks on the danger of potash in pregnancy. They said we should avoid foods made with kaun. Since then, kaun dey fear me. But I survived that abacha . I think it's all about quantity sha. A friend told me that she has seen someone use kaun for abortion and it worked. The lady drank plenty of it to abort her child. It all boils down to moderation.

omotolanibaby:
not all yoruba put kaun (potash) in ewedu again.even before pregnancy ,i stop using it to cook.it very high in sodium content with lil potassium.apart from making food to tender easily ,it causes so much gradual damage to the body system.

kokaiye:
dt is if u use too much ma... Na everything bad 4 body if u abuse dem... U eat too much pepper, it produce too much acid n aggrevate ulcer, u eat too much pineapple, it induce labour n thins d blood also, if one happen to hv CS n u ve bein consumin pineapple, dt person will just b bleedin anyhow infact all food are dangerous... Dey all ve limit wen d body will say enof n d owner of body continues to consume a particular food, d person will start seein side effect of dt food.
