Eminya:
Ehen, so I went for scan today and I was not happy with the result I got.
I am 37 weeks gone cos Dr gave edd 10 Nov while the first scan I did gave me 14 Nov but to my surprise today the scan edd was given as 7 Dec 2015 +or- 2wks
Secondly EFW 2.4kg
GA 34weeks
I am sad cos the baby is small with all the eating and drinking.
Pls mama's tell me it's nothing to worry about

The expertise of the sonolgist goes a long way in scan findings. Pls relax ur mind
And ur baby's weight has nothing to do wit ur lot of eating and drinking.it all boils down to genetic makeup
Oya take this hug, its well u hear
One love alwaz

Abeg sabi mamas,dis stitchd place is itchin me,wat wil i do ooo,nd d thread r fallin out

Eminya don't be sad o. You have heard from midwife Kaffy. Cheer up!

I saw one very wrong information here... More like a reply to someone... I don't wanna mention names. But if you are not sure of a medical question pls don't reply... If u av an idea, u can say I think it means bla bla bla... Like other mamas do. Giving the wrong information is really bad and can b heart breaking.

And there's a way to give the right information That's negative.

The worst thing to do is to put fear in d heart of a pregnant woman....

@ firsttymum very correct.tot I was d only one dat saw it.encouragement and positive vibes is wat preggies need

Eminya to add to our darling nurse Kaffy
The most accurate scan is ur first scan. Or if u know ur Lmp... Work with it.
Ur baby is small that's why the scan is dated so far... usually BPD and femur length plus sometimes OFD, HL, and HC is used.
Now if the baby is small of course for example the femur length will b small therefore the scan will give u a later date. But imagine a bigger or taller baby for example it will show a closer scan date.
That's why the early scans are best to date pregnancy. The later scans are majorly for baby check up, position of baby, location of placenta, amniotic fluid volume etc... Not dating

Tenderchic:


@ Ozycy tnx a lot for the info. I don't mind if u tell me the private hospitals too so as to decide the one to choose

@ Modath, pls come and help us wt good private hospitals in Abuja. Can't even rmber der names again. Pregnancy brain still dey worry me Nawaa.

Zaynie & T4tunu.....Congrats. May God bless ur little ones.

@firsttymum very correct, there was a time I was having swollen legs when I complained about it here someone said "let it not be pre-eclampsia that is knocking at ur door and when I google it, I started having sleepless night. Please give encouraging words instant of put fear in these women.
Congrats to all Oct mamas who have drop ur los and easy delivery to all pushing mamas.

Hello Mummies,

HELP!

I don't have appetite @ almost 20weeks , I am awake most of the night and start sleeping at 6am or later, which makes me wake up at around 1 - 3pm, then I don't feel like eating till 7pm or even 8pm, . I have NO LOVE AT ALL FOR ANY FOOD or DRINK.

I basically eat once a day, or try to force down something little to make up but I don't miss my (Pregnacare plus).

I hope it's not going to affect my baby? Thou all my scans show baby is perfectly fine.

I don't even look pregnant @ few days shy from 5months, probably because am not feeding well..

You nid to find a way around it. How much fluid r u tolerating, fruits and veggies nko
Ur tummy nt showing @ 5months has nothing to do wit u nt eating well, nt everybody has big tummy plus dat is nt even a guarantee dat u won't hv a big tummy. U wil just wake up one day and see big belle.
Try small freq meals,if u can't tolerate wat u cook, try buying then
Hope ds helps
Sure oda mamas wil contribute too
It's well

Part 2.....
All of una wey dey laff me.....kontinu


So by around 6pm, Dr comes around to check me and says I am 4cm gone and that my progress will determine my birth plan.
All these while I was forming strong girl. No shouting or whatever....
By 10pm....omo forget it....I was raking for them...The Dr on call was Dr Okoli...God bless him for me cos I so frustrated him....there were 2 nurses....ahhhh dem hear am for my hand.
I was just shouting..."Dr come and check me o" He yinmued to me and checked....Lo and behold I was 8/ 9 cm...he was like "wow! You are dilating fast o" ....it now sweetened my belly. He made the mistake of telling me that in 1hr I would have my baby.
By 11, he came to check me and said I was fully dilated, baby was descending but I still had anterior cervix....wharrisdat??. He said hold on for like 30 mins. By this time I was shouting the roof down so much that nobody in that labour room was able to sleep. I kept shouting .....Dr Okoli....save me... I dont want to die.....help me....they hooked me on to glucose drip..power kan double!
Some of my drama:
- the Dr hooked my drip on the same stand with another patient...from where I was hitting my hand...her drip fell and burst. She shouted....' yeah! She don fall my drip o....na my drip she fall' I apologised profusely....her drip was replaced....in like another 10 minutes....I fell that one down again...the whole thing just scattered on the floor....I did not apologise this time around ...when Matron said " hajia....take it easy now" I said " must we share the same stand....separate us nah! You ppl should leave me o'

- I so scared a young lady in labour that she ran out of the labour room and told her husband she was no longer in labour that there is a woman scaring her there! My sister was beside the husband. She was just laughing hard... she told her that I am a screamer o.....!

- I poo pooed nonsense for them. Right now my butt hole feels like a mess! They cleaned me up like 5 times o....

- I kept running to the toilet....everytime...toilet to do nothing o....just sit on the closet while contraction holds me... dem wan use style fix me with catheter ...I said I dont want o!!!! I can wee wee by myself!

- husby bought oxytocin and cytotec as per instruction. I packed it and hid it. Only for Dr to start looking for it. I throwey face. When he asked
me pointedly I said. .."Dr....I cant use oxytocin again na...I have a previous scar..."
Dr just shook his head and said the oxytocin is to shrink your uterus after you give birth. I said " oooookkkkkkk" and brought it out from where I hid it.
,
By midnight, Dr came to check me and still the anterior cervix was still there....I said
" Dr Okoli, I changed my mind...lets do the CS". Everybody started laughing.
Dr Okoli said "Zainab, I have not changed my mind....you wanted to experience labour? Face it"
"Dr, do you want me to die of pain, I feel faint "
"Zainab, as long as you are hooked to that drip...you wont get weak".....hot damn!

I lay on my bed and keep screaming the roof down each time contraction sets in.
By 1am I start pushing....I couldnt help myself. ..the nurses kept shouting at me to pant but I jusy kept pushing....I couldnt help it. That was when the poops came.
Dr Okoli said....Zainab...you will tear your cervix o
I am like...this is my last child....I dont need the cervix anymore. He just started laughing....He was like what kind of patient is this o!

By 2am....the stuff was still there..Dr said we have to do CS that if I could hold on till it goes fine but since I was already pushing he doesnt want wahala. I called husby....oya come and sign consent form. Husby came along with my eldest sister. He signed the form, went to get the drugs.
Meanwhile I was busy shouting...I want to poo poo....the poopoo is coming from the front!
The matron came to change into the theatre overall for me and said..Lie down, lemme check you. Lo and behold she saw my baby crowning and shouted " Dr .....I can see the head o...no need for theatre again lets go to delivery room.
See the race with which I got to the delivery room...naked sef....Dr Okoli didnt even ask me before I pushed, he cut me o and I had a lot of ragged tears from pushing but I got my VBAC....

Thank God for that last minute check up from the Matron. I would have just laboured for 22hrs and still had CS.
Next day....come and see laugh in the labour ward....everybody was hailing me.
One lady saw my husby and told him I should be a choirmistress..with my very loud voice.
Another one called me Dr Okoli's wife.
Dr Okoli said...' I dont want to see you here requesting for VBAC when you have low threshold for pain"
The Matrons said .....ahh Hajia can kill somebody....see as she scatter our head...
I was just laughing....and hugging....even Dr Okoli came to see me in the morning...he was just shaking his head. He handed me over to that Dr that counselled me and called me lawyer....I used shakara to tell the Dr. ...See Dr, I got my VBAC"
My supposed "BIG BABY" was simply 3.1kg.


All newcomers.....stay on a straight line and pay your dues o......Accountant is back from leave

All my rivals......I no dey handover o....no coup will work here

Thank you everyone for the shout outs and good wishes....I love you all...You guys are simply awesome


Lemme find my troublesome way to the Newborn thread....

Thanks for the response. Amen o!

As for fluids I try to take a minimum of a liter of (ribena) as I can't stand water. The only fruit I can take is Mango and vegetable is carrot, every other fruits & Veggies I can't stand them.

I havnt cooked since I got pregnant and nothing interests me. Besides my husbands cooking which atimes I don't feel like eating. Not even take away meals from restaurants.

I guess it's a total aversion of food all round.

Lol @ waking up to the big belle.

May God help us all..

[/color] lovely mamas....pls is there anyone with detailed info about Bee-hees maternity at akowonjo/egbeda. Hubby wants me to register for antenatal with them(he don collect family card sef). Would I be in safe hands? or look for somewhere else (kindly recommend). Thank you #Ftm. [color=#000099]

Yes, I used there last year. I love the MD, he seems to know his onion. But they have young young doctors, except for the MD.

May be you can collect MD's antenatal card so that you can get to see the MD every appointment day.

I'm planning to use there again but for the distance, so Dh wants me to use General Hospital.
