Your tea will milk is okay. They say milo makes babies fat though genetic combo still influences the size of baby more. About hot tea, my mum and sisters said it’s a no no for pregnant women. Same thing as hot food. Warm is okay

Can't wait to know my gender o..I'm supposed to go for ANC this Friday and probably do a scan but I don't want to go to the hospital now for obvious reasons.

What part of your arm ??

Sometimes the pain could be side-effect of Tetanus Toxoid injection.

Hi mamas
So my BS is coming quite late..e ma binu o.
So edd was 19th/21st of March but on the 4th of. March I went for ante natal and prior to that day I had been feeling reduced movements from baby and I had been complaining about it at every visit but this particular day..my doctor advised me to do a Gtc, just to monitor baby's heartbeat ..after the test it looked like she was having decelerations so they decided to bring baby out the next day . I wasn't prepared for this at all, my mum had just been robbed the previous day and we were still trying to get police report and all..i had not packed my bags..i had saved some things for last minute buying ..so I tried to push the procedure till the following week but the doctors didn't want us to take the risk of something bad happening to baby over the weekend.
So I stayed back..told my mum to pack my bags and prepared for my cs the next morning. I was very nervous because i wanted to try for a vbac this time but my doctor was skeptical cz I've had a previous cs and during this pregnancy my final height had been measuring so far ahead ..they kept saying baby was going to be too big..so I decided to just go for an elective cs.
To be very honest my cs experience this time around was 100x better than my previous birth. Apart from it being elective, I was able to stay awake..didnt feel anything at all..it was quick, painless and just felt good. My recovery nko. The best..i don't know the exact reason sef, if it was the hospital or the way the doctor did it or just God but I wasn't in any pain like my first birth ..i was able to move well..eat, no swelling, it didn't feel like I just had a major surgery unlike with my first that I was in a lot of pain. I had no complications and was discharged on the 3rd day.. baby ended up being 2.8 kg to the doctors surprise..she wasn't big at all @37 weeks . I Thank God for everything..mama and baby are doing great.
I wish everyone quick and safe deliveries
Team March..i have submitted my BS o

WOw.. Congrats!!
2 lessons to learn from this BS:
- Always pack your bags very early, u never know when d time comes.
- Be open minded. Each time u go in for a delivery just summon a positive mindset. A healthy psyche is 60% success already.

Question 1: Normal
Question 2: try as much as possible to avoid carbonated drink for now. Moreover, I guess teem has lemon in it. Avoid it if possible for now.

Lets us remember the remaining March\April mums that will be dropping this period in prayers.
EDD is in a few days may God almighty shield our LO's and ourselves from the plague of the present day in Jesus name..


It's well with us all

Please what can help reduce heartburn during pregnancy?

Usually d doctors will ask you to be on Mist mag or gestid for about 1 - 2 weeks.
Eventually it will resolve on its own.

Please what can help reduce heartburn during pregnancy?

Here are some more healthy tips:
1. Eat small portions of food. Convert ur 3 square meal into 6 - 8 portions.
2. After eating, sit up for a while before lying down.
3. Avoid alcohol, fatty, spicy, greasy foods.
4. Take yoghurts. Take milk wen you feel d heartburns.
5. When you eventually lie down, use a pillow to keep ur head elevated.

I'm guessing you are in ur 3rd trimester and it's very normal to have heartburn.
It's caused by a combination of hormone and pressure from the big bouncing baby inside your tummy. The size of ur baby tends to exert pressure on ur stomach causing acid to move up to the oesophagus, dats wat causes the burning sensation.
Let us know if any of the tips help.
Warmest regards.

Good morning mummies,I was the lady that had stillbirth in January after my six weeks appointment I started the usual routine then I tested positive lastweek which makes it three weeks this week,I started spotting yesterday which is brownish in colour immediately I did test it was still positive but this morning I started seeing thick dark brown blood its not staining my pad but when I pee I repeated the test again it came out negative

Track to any nearest scan center and do scan, that is the most important thing.

BS
On Saturday I went for Anc and to the market afterwards, I had a very normal day. By 11pm I started feeling period like pains, I dismissed it as I had the same pain for more than 2 hours 4 days ago, I went to the hospital and doctor said it was false labour. I sha told hubby and he said it was cos I stressed myself too much that I should try and sleep . I went to bed, but woke up around after 12 with the same pains. As a ftm I was confused as i haven’t seen mucous plug or show, water haven’t broke and my EDD was a week away. I decided to time the contractions. I would doze off and wake up as the pain comes. It was so annoying and exhausting as I didn’t sleep at all the previous day and I was tired. As I timed the contractions I noticed sometimes it was 10,8 or 12 minutes apart.
I decided that once it gets to 3am and the contractions are still coming I’ll go to the hospital. From 11pm to 3am I urinated like 7 times. As soon as it was 3am I told hubby that it was hospital time. I got dressed and went to pee, as I was cleaning up I noticed a thick clear sticky stuff aka mucous plug, I just carried hospital bag.
On our way to the hospital I noticed the contractions time were shorter.
When we got to the hospital my doctor was not on duty, the doctor available took time to check my file. She checked if cervix has dilated and I was 7cm dilated already. I was moved to the delivery room immediately and hurriedly that I’ll deliver soon with the way my labour was progressing.
Next she ruptured my membrane and then the pain went from 10 to 120. I was screaming at this point and a nurse held my hands and was massaging my back. Within 15 minutes I was 9cm already but she said the anterior lip of the cervix ( first time I was hearing this) was still there so we’ll have to wait till it move so I can be fully dilated and push. She could feel baby’s head but the lip was acting as a blockage.
Contractions were still coming back to back, each time it comes doctor will check to see if the anterior lip was still there. Time went by quickly, the nurses left, doctor was coming and going calling someone on the phone.
I asked them to let my husband in. He came in and all I said in a faint voice was “Baby pray”, he held my hands and started praying, calling our daughter’s name to come forth. Each time contractions hits I’ll be shouting “God have mercy”, “God help me”, “Doctor help me”, but if it stops I’ll join my husband in praying and calling our daughter’s name.
I was already weak and exhausted, they brought in oxygen. After some time a doctor called hubby outside, he told him have been on this stage for almost 2 hours and CTG shows fetal distress, that they’ll have to bring the baby out via CS in 30 minutes time and they asked him to sign CS form.
He sha signed the form and he told me, I on my part was thinking why would I have to go through labor pain and still undergo CS. I would have opted for ELCS If I had known. But I just wanted the pain to stop and 30 minutes seemed like forever.
Contractions were still coming, and my doctor refused to leave my side at this stage, she was like I know you can give birth via vaginal delivery , each time contractions come she’d check and the lip was still there. 30 minutes almost over she checked and the lip was gone, I was fully dilated and told to push, where I take see strength.. I couldn’t push, was so exhausted.
Doctor, hubby and the nurses were encouraging me to push. I tried several times, nothing happened. CS doctor came in and said oya to the theater. My doctor was stimulating the contractions so it would come quicker. I don’t Where or how I got the strength but at the second push my baby girl popped out giving me many tears, screaming at the top of her lungs. I was just muttering thank you Jesus.
The stitching was on another level but in all I give God all the glory. Mother and baby are healthy and that is all that matters.
Cappo birthstory submitted, and prayers for all my fellow remaining march mamas and Gtc mamas.

Congrats ma. God proved Himself in your case. The devil tried but couldnt succeed. All glory to Him alone. I'm so happy for you. Speedy and successful delivery to all pregnant mamas in Jesus' name, Amen.

I've been able to buy more than half of the items on my hospital list, what I did was keep spare 2k in my purse whenever I'm going to the market, I made sure I bought one or 2 things on the list. But I haven't gotten anything for baby yet oo except socks..
