Pearl05: Cappo sunbestie, present ma .
My amazing mamas please I don't understand my body since morning. Dh reach town last night so being away for some weeks, I said let me service jajaina small oo.
Now, my stomach is something else. As if baby is doing weight lifting and press ups. He will just stretch himself to one side of the stomach then after sometime he will change position and continue .
At such point the stomach will be so hard and strong.
Is it normal my sisters? We are 26w5d gone.

agiboma: Hi All,
I am starting this thread so we can discuss pregnancy and all the joys, anticipation, expectation and all aspects of this beautiful time in a woman's life. At times pregnancy can be very difficult and may even become life threatening, when conditions such as pre-eclamsia,gestational diabetes, Incompetent cervix, PPROM etc. So lets use this space to discuss all aspects of this process.
Nothing in relation to pregnancy is off limits, lets share our experience and support each other in a caring respectful way. Doctors can only give so much advice, but i know first hand peer support is equally important.
So lets start talking!
Below are a list of ladies that have included their delivery dates, lets keep them in mind by praying and meditating and sending them positive energy, I will update the list reguarly, just include the month you are due. I will also update once you confirmed you have delivered. This will allow ladies to see others that are due around the same time as themselves and perhaps you may find a pregnancy "buddy". Its not a must that you include this info to join the thread, we welcome everyone.

Part 3. I got pregnant again in June and was my due date was February 13th 2019. It was a run of the mill pregnancy and even though I was sick, it wasn’t too bad that I couldn’t cope with the sickness. I changed jobs in between and while pregnant and I was so nervous but it was the best decision ever. One of the best places I’ve ever worked for. Along the line, I think during my late 2nd trimester, my doctor ordered for a full CBC and there it was discovered that I had low platelets. If the platelets keep going down, it’s dangerous for me during childbirth because my blood might not clot and I could hemorrhage to death. Plus if it got below a certain level, I won’t be able to get an epidural because of blood clotting issues. Plus I was Group B Strep+. We kept monitoring it and while it never decreased significantly it also never increased as well. When I went for my appointment at 38.5weeks my OB suggested induction once I hit 39weeks which was in 2 days and I said yes.
I got to the birth center on Wednesday and I was booked into a room. I got started on penicillin IV for the Group B Strep and after that was done, got started on oxytocin. It was upped every 30 minutes and at level 12 the nurse checked me and said I was 7cm dilated. Mind you, I was 4cm dilated and 60% effaced on my own before the induction started. My OB came and he wanted to break my water to but I said since I was doing good and progressing with my water intact he should leave it and let it break on it’s own.
I didn’t know the nurse was deceiving me saying I was 7cm dilated. About 30 minutes later, they changed shifts and a new nurse came for the night shift. The new nurse came checked my cervix and told me I was actually 5cm dilated. And this was at 8pm. That meant I only dilated 1cm in 9 or 10 hours because my induction started around 11am. I don buy market! Loool. I jejelly just requested for my epidural because they told me the anesthesiologist was going into a C-Section in about 20 minutes and might be stuck in there for hours. The guy came and I explained my situation to him. On 2016 when I had my first child, my epidural was so strong! Strong to the extent that I was paralyzed from the waist down. I didn’t feel any pain but never felt my contractions either (I was supposed to feel the pressure from the contractions and not the pain). That meant that when it was time for me to push, I didn’t have any sensation. I didn’t know where to push. I was stuck pushing for over 2 hours and eventually they had to vacuum him out because he was just stuck in my cervix. 5 Likes |

Part 4
The guy understood me and told me he will try and avoid that situation this time around. But he poked around my back so much that I cried like a baby. Eventually he was able to get the epidural in and I felt some relief. He then gave me a pump and told me to make sure to pump it and give myself another boost once the effects start wearing out. This was around 9pm. I then requested for my nurse to get the on-call OB so he can break my water. That was the beginning of my frustration. They said he was in 2 back to back C-Sections and he will show up after he’s done with them. He never showed up until 4:30am. Maybe he was hiding from me, who knew? I was so pissed and between 9pm - 4:30am, I only dilated another .5cm. That meant I dilated 1.5cm in 16 hours. I started panicking and thinking I will have to need an emergency c-Section. Eventually the doctor showed up and he broke my bag of water around 4:45am. After he broke the water, the nurse said she will check me in 2 hours cos they don’t want to run the risk of checking too frequently and introducing bacteria into my cervix. Lo and behold, I went from a 5.5cm to 8cm in 2 hours! I was soo happy! She said she was gonna step outside and inform the OB and get the team ready for me. In 15 minutes before she had the chance to come back, I started feeling intense pressure in my vagina, butt, back and lower extremities. It was agony! I woke up my husband and my family friend who were with me in the room and informed them that my body was wanting to push. They thought I was joking but we Sha paged the nurse to come and check the me again and I was indeed completely dilated to a 10 in 15 minutes and ready to have this baby! The doctor ran into the room and they pushed my bed up and everywhere became a beehive of activities.
Side note, because of my earlier traumatic birth experience in 2016, I had been researching ways to make labor easier this time around and the generally accepted consensus was to drink red raspberry leaf tea, eat dates and eat pineapples. I got the red raspberry leaf tea on amazon and started drinking it at 31 weeks. I also got the capsules on amazon and I will drink one cup/teabag of the tea in the morning, take 3 capsules of the red raspberry leaf tea in the afternoon and another 3 at night. I continued like that until I got induced at 39 weeks. I also ate 6 giant medjool dates everyday starting at 33weeks. Research said I needed 71g at least everyday for it to have any effect. Those things I did with diligence because I was afraid of a repeat of my first experience.
I’d like to think that my trifecta worked and God also decided to be merciful to me because my epidural worked perfectly and I was able to feel exactly where and when to push. I started pushing at 7:15am and as the first contraction hit, I pushed through that and the head slipped out, second contraction hit and his whole body slipped out! He was born 7:19am and we’re so in love. The attending OB pressed on my belly and Placenta came out immediately after. No pains and I just felt it slip out of me. Best of all, I didn’t even tear or bruise and the baby was 8.9lbs! Alhamdulilah, for all His Mercies. So it was my superstitious self that decided not to jinx myself and report for roll call or announce the pregnancy o. My teammates make una no vex. 55 Likes 3 Shares |

I’d like to think that my trifecta worked and God also decided to be merciful to me because my epidural worked perfectly and I was able to feel exactly where and when to push. I started pushing at 7:15am and as the first contraction hit, I pushed through that and the head slipped out, second contraction hit and his whole body slipped out! He was born 7:19am and were so in love. The attending OB presser my belly and Placenta came out immediately after. No pains and I just felt it slip out of me. Best of all, I didn’t even tear or bruise and the baby was 8.9lbs! Alhamdulilah, for all His Mercies. So it was my superstitious self that decided not to jinx myself and report for roll call or announce the pregnancy o. My teammates make una no vex.
God bless u son. Congrats mama |

MamaOO: Part 4
The guy understood me and told me he will try and avoid that situation this time around. But he poked around my back so much that I cried like a baby. Eventually he was able to get the epidural in and I felt some relief. He then gave me a pump and told me to make sure to pump it and give myself another boost once the effects start wearing out. This was around 9pm. I then requested for my nurse to get the on-call OB so he can break my water. That was the beginning of my frustration. They said he was in 2 back to back C-Section and he will show up after he’s done with them. He never showed up until 4:30am Maybe he was hiding from me, who knew. I was so pissed and between 9-4:30am, I only dilated another .5cm. That meant I dilated 1.5cm in 16 hours. I started panicking and thinking I will have to need an emergency c-Section. Eventually the doctor showed up and gave broke my water around 4:45. After he broke the water, the nurse said she will check me in 2 hours cos they don’t want to run the risk of checking too frequently and introducing bacteria into my cervix. Lo and behold, I went from a 5.5cm to 8cm in 2 hours! I was soo happy! She said she was gonna step outside and inform the OB and get the team ready for me. In 15 minutes before she had the chance to come back, I started feeling intense pressure in my vagina, butt, back and lower extremities. It was agony! I woke up by husband and my family friend who were with me in the room and informed them that my body was wanting to push. They thought I was joking but we Sha paged the nurse to come and check the me again and I was indeed completely dilated to a 10 in 15 minutes and ready to have this baby! The doctor ran into the room and they pushed my bed up and everywhere became s beehive of activities.
Side note, because of my earlier traumatic birth experience in 2016, I had been researching ways to make labor easier this time around and the generally accepted consensus to drink red raspberry leaf tea, eat dates and eat pineapples. I got the red raspberry leaf tea on amazon and started drinking it at 31 weeks. I also got the capsules on amazon and I will drink one cup/teabag of the tea in the morning, take 3 capsules of the red raspberry leaf tea in the afternoon and another 3 at night. I continued like that until I got induced at 39 weeks. I also ate 6 giant medjool dates everyday starting at 33weeks. Research said I needed 71g at least everyday for it to have any effect. Those things I did with diligence because I was afraid of a repeat of my first experience.
