@ Giddyperson for me dis is d best response, let her latch on you as many times as possible n dip a towel in side hot water to massage all area of your breast. Take enough beverage n pap

Congrats dear cappo Giddyperson and Sansa143

Whao really.. Ur princess just couldn't wait 2 meet u..pls which were u using is it LMP or first ultrasound scan?

.EDD according to LMP was 20th, first n last scan 19th n 25th April respectively, but to God be d glory delivered @ 39weeks didn't even get to any of d EDD

BS!!
All through the journey God was faithful, no MS despite d fact dat am a ftm, only dat I treated malaria 3times. Couldn't determine sex 'cos of d positioning for a long time, she was in transverse lie till 36weeks dis got me really worried I kept on praying n talking to my baby as well, by d time I did a scan @ 37 weeks she was in cephalic position already. Again I was tired n couldn't wait to see my baby I started evening walk but was lazy about it, so I started making declarations that my baby must arrive b4 EDD n has to come thru VD in fact Tuesday 'cos one of DH's friend who is my real gee's bday was on Tuesday. Beginning from 34th week I started having dis braxton hicks n from 37th week d menstral cramp keep coming on n off. Fast forward to Wednesday morning around 7:30am I started having contractions felt it was d normal one dat will come n go but it was consistent was exactly 39weeks. So I quickly had my bath n called DH to ask his friend to come pick me up, was even contemplating about carrying my bag thinking dey might send me back. On getting to d hospital around 11am checked n I was 2cm dialated I was admitted the VD examination is painful truely, d contraction kept progressing but was enduring it by 5pm was checked again n was 6cm so d doc said am progressing well so I won't be induced 'cos he was contemplating on inserting d tab. So he ruptured my membrane kai so painful by 9pm I was 9cm dialated was moved to d labour room d pain was unbearable but I kept on enduring didn't shout d nurses were so surprised as to how a ftm cld endure d pain so well was surprised actually 'cos d natural me cant even stand pain for long @ll but was already determined dat it was VD or nothing n was going to conserve my energy till wen its time to push. Felt d urge to poo n push but was told not to, d doc came in @ about 9:30pm there about was told to push @ every contraction I kept on trying naso d nurse said i was only shouting n not pushing dat I should push as if I was about to pass out a hard stool, sudden lay contractions wasnt so strong again as I was trying to push doc said cervix was thin but too tight upon all d kpekus with DH so he had to tell d nurse to add 1ml oxytocin Chai was so scared @ d mention of oxytocin 'cos I knew it was going to be very painful but it helped immediately contractions became so strong again I pushed@ every contraction but I had a perineal tear n was given an episiotomy. I pushed n baby was out was given an injection on d thigh n d placenta was out as well. D suture took over an hour but d area was numbed so didn't feel d pain.Then baby swallowed meconium immediately I remembered ma'am jazzjazz's lo, I got so scared but she's doing fine 'cos doc said staled meconium isn't bad n all was drawn out of her yesterday, by tomorrow we will be having a test for jaundice n God's willing be discharged still not lactating well but its gradually coming out little by little. DH was with me all thru d delivery process VD is painful o d back pain was out of dis world. I bless God in all
Thanks all n save delivery to all mamas

Finally, I am a member of this thread. Hmmmm

So I've been a major non registered member of this group from inception, yes I wrote inception. No I wasn't married, pregnant or trying to conceive when I came across the thread, I'm just fascinated by anything related to health and I've been thoroughly immersed in this thread, the TTC and the IVF threads. Watched many many many monikers come and go, laughed and cried when posts were shared, discovered the diaries of many mamas and I dey drop my likes steadily but only ever commented once after the major anticipation of Proudmum and Prouddad's birth announcement.

I would have registered on this thread since January and grabbed the captain post for October but something came up and I watched Pweetiemum as she made her wonderful post and pregnancy announcement and took it away from me (awww for me abi) Big congratulations sis, may we all deliver safe and sound in Jesus mighty name.

I got married two years back but my husband and I decided to wait for at least a year before trying for kids and just before we scheduled, I came across a post on Facebook where a couple was tested and told that one of them was AA but he was actually AS and they only found out the truth after they had an SS child.

Got alarmed and told my husband that he needs to do a confirmation test. I had done the test in 3 various places and all confirmed AS for me and he had been tested and told AA.
Well, he took the test again in a big lab and will you guys believe it was AS? He was convinced the lab had it wrong so we went to 2 other places and yep, still AS. Ise Oluwa, awa ma ridi ni.

Well we were already married so this was not a matter of let's break up and cry, this was a matter of yeepa!
Thanks to God and thanks to science, there's a test that can be done in utero called CVS - Chorionic Villus Sampling. Here the genotype of the foetus is tested and you will find out if the child is going to suffer from Sickle Cell Disease or not. If yes, you either decide to go along with it or opt for a termination.

To the glory of God, got my results back yesterday and it has ended in praise, we are not SS. My sisters (and brothers) it was an emotionally draining experience as I know it would have been a termination if my child was determined to be SS. A child we already picked names for. This was not up for negotiation, no tete and ludo on someone else's life if I can help it.
Thanks to God Almighty, I didn't have to deal with that.

So here I am, giving all praise and thanks to God for helping my husband and I dodge a bullet and giving me a testimony.
#TeamOctoberTohSplufik
LMP EDD is 2nd October
First scan EDD 4th October

Zaynie baby, I know you've gone on sabbatical but you must bring out that Golden Chair for me o, I haff too tey in peeping mode.
People no dey drop dues for here again but emi mo eto o and I came prepared, make una see attached and share according to your height, or no, according to the length and breadth of your bumps. Hehehe.
The trailer load of fruits and vegetables will arrive in a week.

Here's to a wonderful pregnancy and childbirth experience for us all!

P.S
My original moniker will be shared on my next post but I don't want the name quoted so I will delete it shortly.

Sis, your testimony is permanent in Jesus name.

jazzyjazz:
Mama's I'm at a job interview o. Abeg make Una pray make I get the work.

God's favour and blessings will be with you.

Naomi14:
Teamie, why didn't you go to katangua market? Or even Aswani It's cheaper there.

Katangowa and Super is the same market.

Graciouscharis:


Don't allow anyone or any scan to scare you. The scan may not be accurate. Just tell your self that you are coming out strong. CS or VD. I've seen short women that gave birth to 3. Something babies.

Concerning baby facing up, your sitting position and some excercises can help your baby turn faster. When babies are facing up ( occiput posterior position) it leads to prolonged and painful labor. Some of them turn at d final stage of labor after d woman don suffer finish.
Some of d things you can do to help your baby turn are:
1. Avoid reclining position while sitting. You can put a pillow under your bum and tilt your pelvic forward.
2. Keep active, walk as much as possible.
3. Keep your knees below your pelvic at all times.
4. Practice pelvic rocks on your hands and knees everyday for minimum of 3 times a day for 20 mins and/or take up the knees to chest position. Chest to d floor, bum in d air for 1 hour daily.
5. Scrub your floors on your hands and knees regularly. Crawling around.
6. Sleep on your left with your left leg straight and your right leg @ 90 degrees supported by a pillow.
7. Avoid squatting until you are sure d baby is now anterior.

Even if you don't know your baby's position, this can help you prepare for labor and you can start practicing them from 36 weeks depending on your body. Hope this helps.

This came in @ d right time for me. Thanks ma'am

Me I'd start doing all the labour inducing things by next week Wed when I clock 37 weeks, pineapples and Zobo here I come.

Who has packed hospital bag, hope y'all are done shopping. Let's remember our teamie Dharyor1234 who asked for help. Especially with baby things and hospital list. If you have something to spare please pm her.

Let's welcome our newest teamie Fatamyfatamy who snuck in from the back yard

Please answer your names so we know you are good.
#teamAprilformiraclebabies #thetimetobornisalmosthere #easterbabies #EDDbabies

temmytee31:
Help me o. The kind of insomnia i suffer lately is bad. Was just tossing and turning from left to right last night Didnt sleep until 4am. LO constantly stretching and turning too wont allow sleep. Who else is experiencing/experienced this in 3rd trimester?

Sansa143:
So I get partner 4 d scratch-free ministry,my own stretch marks dey dwn sha n d kind shea butter wey I d rub bah,no b here!

Chai! Teamie my own stretch mark na all round my tummy.

Giddyperson:

Me too I scratch everything that scratches me, never really had stretch marks and I'm not afraid of them, I don't see the big deal with them, anyone that's gonna have them would have them. How can I be rubbing shea butter in this heat.

Irony of life, mine doesn't scratch me @ll but my tommy is all stretched chai even with d fact that I rub Shea butter on it.

ummhalimah:
We were both in serious pains, she was checked 8cm, me 6cm. The woman started praying seriously! I saw the nurses trying to get her baby stuff and she delivered 11:05 am when d doctor came back... I asked has she put to bed? The doctor said relax woman, it is not a competition! I told him I understood that well. I told the doctor I needed to use the wheel chair potty that I had gone to like 20times with no urine... So they decided to pass another catheter to drain my urine( very painful during and after delivery, please don't let dem do d sh*t for you). I was screaming I want to poopoo o, doctor came and check and said I had fully dilated and to push Na so dz pain start from nowhere, I was screaming and raising my buttocks up... The doc threatened to spank my laps. I put buttocks down and started closing my legs. The pain was just much... I sha screamed my baby out with plenty poopoo and urine. The doc was trying to deliver the babywithout epi but in all honesty I wasn't cooperating at all plus he said my previous epi had scar tissue and should I tear my self the damage would be terrible. Stitching is another wahala sha. This labour is so far the most painful and dramatic. But I thank God for my family!
Her name is Habibah *surname* and is sucking well. I don't want to own B's coz I know my own vigilante is not fro dz world.


#march mamas cappo... I don drop ooo. I wish you all the best and less dramatic birth.

Congratulations mama, God bless mother and Lo.

Wow! Congratulations mama, God bless mum and lo. Wish you speedy recovery from d pain.

firstpregnancy:




Thanks for the advice .
I am not a lazy ass , I wake up each day to wash with her daughter and do some other stuffs , yet I am not appreciated . I don't bulge into pple space , I chat with her when necessary ( even though I do the chatting) .

yesterday she got a little bit dizzy while I was in my room , she asked someone to go get an outsider to help her . I don't know what the outsider could have seen to make rude indirect comments about the situation of the house as if I made her sick . I felt so ashamed that I just locked up until everything died down . I went out to greet she and the woman and the woman happened to be someone that I knew and used to like me but when she would reply , she replied like I wasn't even present .

infact I am tensed up ; everyday she insults her children and I kinda thinking it's not just about them alone ...,.....
my sister , I have dealt with a lot of pple and I know when I am simply wrong

Most of the mama's here have said it all, I still believe you are better off staying in your house than with dem, if you have good neighbours around n just as earlier said get a taxi driver's no n be strong yourself. Am always alone too most times 'cos of hubby's kind of work but am coping fine. All will be well in Jesus name.

Naomi14:
Stop worrying! Time still dey for baby to take the cephalic position. If you are so worried, speak to him/her and pray before u know position don change to what u want.

Thanks sis, am praying n speaking to d baby as well, don't know why am just so worried. Maybe its 'cos d doctor already told me if d position doesn't change by 38 weeks its CS straight away, for dis kind recession n i use a private hospital d HMO doesn't cover CS. It is settled by God's grace.

Giddyperson:
Somebody please describe contractions. There's this sharp painful feeling that forces me to scream but doesn't last more than 2 seconds. It's more like a fleeting painful movement in my tummy. Happens like once a week or less, who else has been feeling that.

My able cappo no port o, I think I felt it too like 2ce, am 34weeks+2 days now I no even wan port go anywhere it must be April o, my concern now is that my baby is yet to take the cephalic position been in transverse position for a while now.

spiceeamiee:
Hello dear, I have saved the number as I will soon need it but how much did he sell to you the last time you bought from the person?

Alright dear, for now its 27k

Giddyperson:

How big is your bump? Once you get to Idumota, and you are pregnant, there's this annoying set of women that would keep following you until you go crazy. Once you chase one, another one would come, they would be asking you 'Aunthy you want baby things, let's go to my shop'. Tell them you already have a customer but don't pursue them until they take you to Dosunmu market which is where they sell baby things then when you get there pursue them cuz nothing good comes from them. Ask for little me shop, that's where I did 90% of my shopping cuz I don't have energy to walk around neither do i enjoy haggling and they sell at set prices, and their prices seem fair. There's two little me shops there, you can visit both. Even if you don't want to buy there, just go there first to get a feel of the prices, then you can go to the other shops and bargain.

Mom's hospital bag
Panties
Underwear
wrapper or dressing gown
Maternity bras
Dettol/Toilet soap/sponge
bathroom slippers
6 Lady septs

Yea, little me store rocks, their prices are so fair o compared to other stores around. Did most of my shopping there as well.

Giddyperson:
Titony1, that's how you would come and be peeping and not replying roll call, how are you?

Chai my cappo caught me today, phone has been giving me issues lately ni jare. How is d ministry going? For me d tiredness no be here o, had malaria dat caused me serious back ache, had to be placed on bed rest last week. All thanks to God am fine now #TeamApril for supernatural delivery like the Hebrew women.

sholai:
Goodday to all mamas in the house. pls i want your advise on this my ish oo. am 31 weeks and rh negative while husby is rh positive. i know there is an injection to take before and after delivery but my question is in which month of pregnancy am i to take the injection and anyone with the idea of how much the injection cost? also any mamas with a similar case should enlighten me on how they pass through this.

teamapril for supernatural birth.

Hello teamie, want to believe you've taken Rhogam D already. In case you still need you can contact dis no 07036555769 @ affordable price, buying directly from the pharmaceutical sales rep, cos most of the doctors inflate d price a lot. #Supernatural delivery to all mama's.
