Welcome dear. Congratulations on your BFP and welcome to this exciting journey.

First off, start off on prenatal vitamins, including folic acid. You can also check a reliable pharmacy to get one that's within your budget.

Antenatal care depends on where you stay, but most hospitals I know usually suggest three months if you're not having any complaints.

Take everything in stride and give your body grace. Things will change so much in this 9 months, but it's for a good cause and your body will go back to normal after birth.

All the sabi Mamas will be here with you on this journey

In my opinion, no. Most prenatals have folic acid, so taking folic acid with prenatal is like double dose

Also if you have found out your baby's gender kindly indicate. Me nover sure yet. I want to reconfirm first.
long time mamas, beautiful Sunday team oct. baby gender confirmed o, XY, I don’t even know how to feel, I wanted somebody that will come help me wear all the clothes I bought last yr that my daughter have outgrow. My husband don’t want to let me hear word about how he won again, I nor just get strength for that one.
I feel very energetic, but I really can’t celebrate because I know what is coming soon and it just dampens my spirit. Third trimester is always very difficult for me and each time I feel so strong and all, I just remember 3rd trimester and I can’t even enjoy the moment.
Oct is still far, I wish it will just come and go.

My Birth Story...

The journey has been really smooth right from the time I conceived, except for the food aversion in the first trimester, and back pain in the 3rd trimester. I was even able to go to work till the last day. So thankful to God for making it really easy for me...

My EDD is 8th June, 2024 according to the first scan I had. And because I had my first baby at 39wks 3days, I thought this one too should be same.

At 38wks, kept having on & off contractions which made me restless. Wanted to start maternity leave when I hit 39wks but one of my colleagues advised I wait till I delivered, so I agreed.

On Thursday, 6th June 2024, my tired was tired. I've been exercising and eating pineapple but the contractions were not consistent. I was already 39wks 5days gone. Throughout that day at work, I kept reading up about castor oil and how to induce labor with it. Even though it is said to induce labor, the reviews were not that pleasant as many complained of nausea, stooling, vomiting, and so on after taking four spoons or half a bottle.

Still went on to buy it that evening as we strolled out with DH to get the remaining hospital items. DH was not even aware o... Just told him to be buying other things in the supermarket while I get Lucozade boost in the pharmacy. I'm not even proud of this lie.

After we got home, I mixed just a spoon with hollandia yoghurt around 9:30pm and took. Around 10:30pm, I had to use the restroom as I was having stomach upset. Ghen ghen. After purging, I went back to bed. At about 12:30am, I woke up and felt like I had peed on myself...wasn't sure what it was, but I started having contractions immediately. The contractions were like 3mins apart, but mild.

I told my husband to prepare for us to go to the hospital. We went along with my friend who stays with us, and left my boy with my sister. I was hoping the contractions would progress but it was consistent like that. We got to the hospital at about 2am. I told the nurse how I was feeling and she checked me. I was like 2cm, then she decided to do a membrane sweep and told me to wait till morning when the doctors were around. As I waited in the ward, the contractions started becoming more painful. Then at about 9am after breakfast, I was taken to the labor room where the female doctor checked and said i was 4cm and did another sweep, then told the nurse to induce me. Ah. The induction began at about 10:30am to last for 3hrs. Contractions kept coming 5mins apart. Just kept playing GUC's Album to take my mind off it. My husband was later allowed in where we kept gisting till 1pm. The nurse sef was shocked. She said its as if this induction is not working oh... My husband had to leave to get some baby stuff again, and when I was checked, I was like 8cm gone but I wasn't feeling much pain from the contractions. I think the nurse broke my water or so, and that was when the drama started. At about 3pm, had to dial my husband's number to come and give me moral support oh. He came back around 3:30pm or so... The nurse told me to push when I felt the need to poo. I pooed a little and the nurse wiped it, I even peed so much it wanted to pour on her. Chai.

When I was told to push, I was using my throat. grin Guys, learn how to push oh...just do it like you want to poo. When I did that, that was when my baby popped out.

I want to thank God because at about 4:21pm, I welcomed my beautiful princess with little tear, weighing 3.40kg. The placenta was delivered immediately and the tear was stitched as well.
We were discharged the following morning.

BS submitted! smiley

I pray for all TTC mothers and all those expecting... The Lord will do it for you.

dave06:
BA! BA!! BA!!!

The Lord has done it again, blessing us with a beautiful princess at 4:21pm yesterday.

EDD - 8th June, 2024
DOB - 7th June, 2024 via V.D with little tear.

Baby weighs 3.40kg.
BS coming soon.

Congratulations mama, pele that's pregnancy package for you, just keep trying to find a meal you can tolerate, take warm/hot beverages or cold beverages whichever you can tolerate at a certain time sadbland foods like bread and crackers, take in very small quantities at a time and don't wait until you get hungry also, as hunger sometimes escalates into nausea then vomiting, just keep trying different things you will be fine mama. If you can't tolerate water find a safe juice or concentrate you can add to your water like lucozade or ribena to make the taste palatable for you. During my own time, it was garri water i could tolerate pele grin, very soon 1st tri will be over and you will be balling in honey moon phase aka 2nd tri

Also if you have started taking your prenatal supplements sometimes this can be the culprit, i advise you can try to take it just before bed and see if it will ease the vomiting

Hello Sisters...😁

Trust you're all doing great.

I was here briefly 6/7/8 years ago.

I think i hung up after my Choriocarcinoma experience.

Oh...chorio.. in case anyone here has gone through same condition and wondering if she can still conceive afterwards, I am here to confirm to you that you can and you will by God's grace.

Well...if there's anyone here who has gone ahead to carry a pregnancy to term after multiple first trimester (especially less than 10weeks) miscarriage, and/or years after surviving Choriocarcinoma, i am willing to read from you.

May everyone here deliver without complications.🙏

Wow! One in a million. Congratulations sis. Tell me how did you know you were pregnant then since no period? What were the earliest sign?

There was this lady too that has been menstruating for months but never knew she's carrying a baby, she always doesn't like the way her stomach feels and went for scan after many treatment of fever, typhoid malaria. GOD is really wonderful.

Don't be sad sis, your baby like shakara that's all, reminds me of some mamas here that had same experience and they reached a consensus that girls are the one's that like hiding their gender like this, so if you are hoping for a girl let me say congratulations, baby may just be a girl, but if you are hoping for a boy, let us start fasting and prayer now (assuming preggy can play with food or observe fast ) just buy neutral items if you are concerned about what to buy and plan for when baby arrives to buy other things.

But you know you still have time to check, just relax okay, oya laugh and go at take cold yogurt chop kisses.

Hello mamas. I’m here again grin …..the last time I was here was about 2 years and 8 months ago.

I’m few weeks gone now but this feels entirely different. I’m weak, nauseous and tired every time, I have no appetite and a kind of uncomfortable heart/stomach burn (that I can’t even explain).

I was very energetic and active during my first. I just want to lie down all day.
