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.

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. 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!

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

EquilibriumX:

Water buffalo? Lol that's really funny. I'm sorry for just replying to your comments. I'm just visiting here since my last comment because I was busy. All thanks to Almighty God, I welcomed my son with happiness. My wife delivered on the 14th through Vir.. Deli... The baby weight 3.6kg. but seriously I was so scared of her big tummy. To extent that I stopped copulate at week 28. The moving and the kicking of the baby scares me but all thanks to God.

Parkiz:



Yes óò, we're seeing ourselves already. It depends on when you took the scan . If it around the first few weeks it's more accurate than later on during the pregnancy

Hamzashaf99:
Buffalo 🐃?
Some women get big sha, and I think it's good.
You can do enough shakara for everyone

Rhayne:





Good morning mommas, please no response still

EquilibriumX:

Thank you for your response. I need your help, I'd be glad if you can try for me. Kindly help me contact your friend maybe via WhatsApp message to ask her that if someone wanna buy it, where should we go to? We carefully studied the scan and she will be 39 weeks on Thursday and she is heavy now, I'm scared cuz I never knew belly can be as big as that, please 🙏🙏🙏

BS! BS!! BS!!!

My birth story no too long but then I must share it, myself and hubby was already contemplating on going one more time or make we kuku hang d both after our 2nd princess... We discussed Family planning but I kept procrastinating because of so many bad reviews and side effects I keep hearing and reading o. My baby girl was 9months when I found out AF don run leave me, Omo I vex for Hubby for days for getting me pregnant I even threatened to remove it o but d man sha bribe with little egunje , suya and a pack of Pepsi ( make una no mind me I like bribe small)...

1st trimester was hell as usual with plenty vomiting, food aversion, metallic taste bud etc, especially now with 2kids, a preschooler and a toddler.. with no help, hubby is always around on weekends, I managed myself and registered my baby in school at 1year 2months so d stress will reduce... 2nd trimester came and d vomiting didn't not stop but at least now I can eat , I registered for ANC at general hospital and everything was fine only low PVC of 28%. Keep pushing till 3rd trimester and d count down begins.... At 37weeks my tiredness was out of this world, I keep doing d little exercise I could den I took long unpaid leave from work,

At 39weeks exactly I took a leaf I heard works for induction o but In my own case na purging and vomiting d herb gave me, a day after taking d herb I had mild contractions that stopped after few hours. I went for ANC as usual on Monday @39weeks3days with little contractions as usual, complained to d doctor, he asked me to go back home come back incase I see any sign or it gets serious, I was a bit disappointed I wasn't checked or admitted.

Came back home, I trekked some of d distance den later went to pick the kids from school with bike instead of driving... I started feeling mild contractions Ard 5pm called hubby and inform him to prepare incase it gets serious, it got stronger Ard 6pm coming like 3mins apart by this time all I told hubby was to just leave everything he was doing and start coming home(imagine leaving Apapa to Badagry)... I manage to help my baby with her Assignments, fed and bathed them and but them to bed. By 6:40pm I called a friend to come stay with me still hoping hubby will meet up. Ard 7:30pm I called a nurse friend who checked me and said i was already 8cm dilated so there's no way I could make to where I registered which is like 45mins drive... I picked my things went to a midwife place d next street to mine(though have informed her ahead incase of emergency), got there 7:50pm and by 8:10pm we welcome our princess and we came home 11pm same-day.

Parkiz:

Bennytwin:


No. It is not too short.

Fertilady:


My dear, you have to recover fully o before you can engage in any tummy exercise. I always took the herbal peppersoup (aju mbaise) for up to 3months together with warm water.

esthy111:

Pls forget shame and go talk to ur doctor. Ur health is much more important.

thejourney200:


Please talk to your doctor s/he will be able to guide and monitor you through the pregnancy period. There's nothing to beat yourself over and besides, have you done a blood pregnancy test to be sure you are pregnant?
