Exclusiveoloori, I greet you specially o, I don't know if you're still with us as I don't sight you on the group, hope all is well, please reach out. We love you❤️

We are fine o mama. Braxton hicks want to finish me

breeezefe:
Good day mamas.
I am little bit worried. Though some persons said it's not a big deal.

My baby will be 3weeks old (born on 20th May) by tomorrow. He's umbilical stump is yet to fall off. I have been doing what I was told to do religiously. I clean with spirit and cotton wool regularly
What could be wrong mamas.
I
Meanwhile, I saw a peadetrician last two weeks and she said it will fall off. Still it hasn't

My mum used white chalk after using spirit was delaying. She dissolved the white chalk in water and used cotton bud to apply it at the root of the cord. It didn't take time to fall. If you can, try it.

LUGBE:
Best option or resort to use in calculation of Due date or EDD is your LMP. Pls i do not want to prempt anything but for your good and the LO try another hospital bc i suspect the doctor on his own might have booked you for CS.

Naa! I don't think so. It's a standard hospital. I've seen 3 doctors and they all said the same thing

Sassy256:

Hmmm that 6wks difference is loud ooo, maybe you had a period while already preggers? Also what week did u do your first scan? I've not seen this amount of difference before though, 2 wks, 3wks discrepancy at most.
Anyway everything being equal, your doctor's advice and that inner voice should be your ultimate guide...pls keep us posted

Is it possible I was already pregnant before the last period? If its possible then could that be it?

shiller:


Hmm
6weeks difference is it not too much?
You can seek for second opinion in another hospital ooo,nd u re sure of your LMP

100% sure of my lmp. Its what I used to calculate ovulation o my sister

Sassy256:

Eeya, kpele, small small with the work o. Yea there's still time for shopping all the best. U never give us update on lo sex o

I've done that tai tai

As per that "far" ehn, I'm seriously confused. Docs are using scan date not my lmp saying its not correct (and I'm very certain it's correct). According to my lmp, I'll be 29 weeks tomorrow but my Tommy measured 34weeks. It's been 6 weeks ahead since i ed and did my first scan. EDD is 22nd August but scan is 21st July. Imagine the difference.

So I asked the doc what happens when I don't go into labour by 40 weeks According to scan. He said I'll be given 1 week and check the state and size of the baby then be induced. My confusion hasf confused. Has anyone experienced this before?

TEAM AUGUST
JUNE ROLL CALL

Team Easy pregnancy, Safe and Quick delivery.

Happy new month once again mama's wishing us all the best of this new month.

Thank God for seeing us through to this point, I know it's not that easy as the weight is now being felt . Most of us have entered third trimester this week, it's time to start completing our baby shopping, hospital lists and other things we need to do. No time again o, time to tidy up. In just two short months we will carry our joyful bundles.

If you've not taken maternity shots, this is the best period to do it, now the bump is big enough but still cute enough for pics and for those of us that pregnancy turns dark, please don't wait till 9months o .

Time to be prayerful, committing that day into God's hands for a stress-free remaining part of the journey and delivery. Supernatural childbirth book is one very resourceful book for this period, please if you can, it and begin to use the prayers at the end part of the book.

If you don't have the book and need it, just mention me and drop your email I have the soft copy now, I can send to you.

Starryv and mama waistbead, sure you're doing great. Pyzdan, I see you. Our silent teamies, the lord is your strenght.

Mama we dey o. Work no dey gree me see road well. I've not Started shopping yet o. Will do that Month end sha. God bless us all nd happy bumping.

mjblinks:


Thanks mama, I will try to wait till he burps but is not easy sha. For the nipple, I had sore in my first week but it was because my nipple was not pointed out. But now, I feel small pain whenever he put his mouth but immediately he start sucking the pain disappear. Also I feel pain if I am forcing my breast from his mouth and he still want to suck.
How is the pain like? Is it when he is sucking or what mama?

Sorry o jare. Don't force your nipple from his mouth. Just place your pinky finger in the corner of his mouth and pull out.

imsettled2:


How I wish I did
I was advised to do it but as I was waiting for money to do it, I had membrane rupture of the lead twin(T1)'s
sac at 16wks+ so I started having liquor drainage/leakage, an Arabian pessary (alternative to cerclage) was inserted, the drainage/leakage stopped for 12hrs and started again as am typing this I'm in the hospital because I have been placed on bed rest with raised foot of the bed. More like hanging my legs but the liquor is still draining especially after any body movement including pee and poo even though the leakage is not much.

Keep speaking positivity to your baby. God will come through for you. Please follow docs instructions

My problem now is that I have to be in hospital (bed rest) for as long as it will take the liquor to stop draining.
Experience Mamas and doctors in the house pls is there any thing I can do to stop this drainage? Pls I need ideas and
Suggestions.

Sassy256:
Teamies, how is everyone doing? Didn't see most of our responses to roll call, only starryv. hope we're doing alright?

We are good here o. Its been crazily busy for me these past weeks that I barely sleep or rest. It's been work, work work.
My bump is so big and low like I'm almost due when I'm not. Everywhere soft sha

FlowerGirl040:
Can you imagine a fellow woman telling me it's my corpse my family will take from here. Seriously? I shared what happened to me here as a BS and answered some questions, and I believe someone has learnt from it and I never regret sharing. Never!!!!

Well,i will deactivate anytime soon,so that when I eventually die,no one will know. I believe when she didn't see me here,she will rest with her curses and insults.

God forbid that for you. God will make you stronger, smarter and more courageous. You
I'll bring up your children. You are a strong woman. Keep being strong ma and thanks for sharing your experiences. I've learnt from them. You are blessed.

FlowerGirl040:
Well, you will not understand. Thanks

I'm sorry if I was too hard. I know you know and understand better. Just take care of yourself and lo. Warm E-hug to you sis.

FlowerGirl040:
Lol. Saving money from where? Where is the feeding money? If foodstuffs finish,there is a standby person he will send to the market, it's not bad in a way Sha,shey he wan do wahala make he do,just that I don't have the opportunity to buy whatever I like or better ingredients to cook with. If I write list na the important ones (according to him) he will buy. Any little change I opportuned to have,it's to buy airtime o,or data. My phone and my children are my companion.

Exactly how did you allow this from the onset? How can you allow someone else to be buying food stuffs for you? That's a no no. I believe he does that because he doesn't want you to have any money to yourself. He doesn't even allow you to go to the market or leave your house? What is he scared of? I'm so ed.

May God be with you and your kids always and guide you.

FlowerGirl040:
Forget family planning,he is totally against it. Thou I myself I don't know the best one to go for as I don't like the reviews of the ones I read online. But I can't just do it on my own without his knowledge,that's definitely 3rd world war in my home and marriage. His only accepted family planning is withdrawal method.

Of which he's in totally control over. He can decide to not withdraw if and when he wants. Sis you need to find a way around it o.

FlowerGirl040:
Salary ke! If he needs money,he will ask if anybody give me money or just go straight to my things and start searching if there is money anywhere. Thanks.

Wetin I go do,I don't know any contraceptive that's good for me that I can take without his knowledge,and also since he knows I easily get pregnant,if getting pregnant is taking time,na to start asking questions or go straight to my bags and start searching if there's drugs anywhere. I no kukuma get any serious friend. The 2 ladies I am friends with are both known through him, you get?

Searching your things to find money he didn't give you or what? SMH! Permit my asking how many kids do you have already? If much already, discuss family planning with him you are not a baby factory plus the trauma and his negligence from previous experiences can be scaring.

FlowerGirl040:
All my children,I don't reach EDD,that's my nature,so when I was 37 weeks, contraction started,not serious,1cm but the nurse was saying I should go and relax besides my tummy is small,seems i didn't know my LMP. Ah! I told her but you know me very well na bec that's the hospital I have been using,she insisted. I vex see doctor himself, he told me to go for exercise and let's see. To cut the story short,I was in on and off labour for over a week,this people refuse me to go for induction,not that I have ever had CS o. With this I fell sick,so serious. By this time it's already past my edd. This same nurse complaining of my tummy treated me,she ask me to come for injection later. (That's the nurse my husband instructed me to see) I went there and she wasn't around,the other nurse was surprised I was ask to take that particular injection,it was after she ister it to me she told me I am not supposed to take it according to her understanding since I am past edd. Well,The nurse kept complaining my stomach is not big for a 9month old. Hubby said this is the closest hospital and his family hospital,they do attend.(thou they have 2 family hospitals) I have to make use of the hospital. See me see labour pains on and off. The horrible thing is that ever since my labour started,my urine change colour not knowing it's my water that is coming out bit by bit till it dried up.(to me it was that injection that caused everything) After a week and some days,I was like if I die now,what about my children and this man will marry another wife sef. Na so I vex pack my bag go hospital around 11pm in the night. I met the absence of doctor (private hospital) i explained everything to nurse. She gave me a tablet to put under my tongue,I returned home,took a shower by this time,real labour don start,I went back to hospital with my husband Sha,he left me there and instructed them to take care of me as there are other kids at home alone. (Mind you after I did scan at week 20, I wanted to do another again when I was 7months,hubby refused,he said no need nah since I have no Complain. I don't know I just have this strong feelings to do scan and check how baby was doing by then. Well I have no money on my own so I can't possibly go if he did not agree or give me money.)

I gave birth before 2hrs. Mid night o,the nurses where surprised I gave birth so easy with no water at all,total dried up,they said I am so lucky. Baby was making one kind sound,but it disappeared after a day. Up till his death, right from when I gave birth to him,he didn't cry. I lay my concern to hubby he said he will cry. My baby refuse breastmilk,even water sef,if I use spoon or feeding bottle everything will be pouring out from his corner mouth,it's like he can't swallow anything I was so scared and frustrated,let us take this child to general hospital,hubby said what for? His sisters and aunty talk,he said no need. Even when I bath him,no cry at all. All he does is to sleep,he only open his eyes for seconds. My instinct was just not at rest,I just know I will lost this child. That's how I manage till some days to his one month old,I will cry secretly at night holding my baby, praying to God to make me hear my baby's voice even for once bec it's as if there is no baby at home at all. A day to his death. I heard a sharp shout,I discovered it was my baby,I was thinking he's coming to of been in the world and not in the womb anymore,not knowing my baby will soon depart and just wanted me to hear his voice . Something yellowish liquid started coming out from his mouth. I called my husband on phone to come home let's take him to hospital,by this time I have started crying,he came home and said he will get him drugs. Ah!! Him and self medication!! It was after he left I went to carry baby,I discovered his body is kind of cold,I put my fingers in his mouth to open his teeth,for where,it was strong. By the time I know my baby was gone but I refuse to it it. I left him on the bed,go to the kitchen,to prepare lunch. But still checking on him. When hubby came back I told him what's happening. I never knew he knows he is dead already but don't know how to tell me. He later did tell me after an hour Sha. And that was when I broke down. So my baby left me,I started thinking how I got pregnant,the labour pains, everything and I couldn't hold back my tears. When my children heard that their baby brother is dead,they started crying with me too. Let me stop here.
I am crying here already. Ignore any errors pls.

This is a negligence from the part of the hospital and hubby's behavior of I know what I am doing,I am the man of the house and I can never be wrong attitude. But then my life was at stake foolish me

It is well with you mama. I've not heard of hospital discharging a baby that didn't cry from birth before so why would they do that?. But your dh is worst. Whether it is carelessness o or negligence abi he doesn't want to spend money I don't know. They don't understand what women go through and just toy with somebody's life. Chai!

Mama you need to try and start saving small small money even if its from you feeding money. Get a piggy bank or anything you can use and start saving up. He knows you can't do anything on you even if you want to so he wants you to be completely dependent on him. That's his strongest power over you.

FlowerGirl040:
I lost him same year I lost my beloved mother,and same day my eldest child added a year +. After his death,I will carry all the baby things,both the one he used and not yet used,sniff them and cry silently,when my other kids aren't around. After 4 months I took in again,and I was happy,at least it will help alot to ease my heart. But what happened? I fell sick,hubby refused me to go to hospital,he said he will call his nurse instead,he bought drugs,my sickness still persisted and he wasn't happy I was down,he came home one night with another set of drugs saying this one is strong and will make me better,my instinct was rejecting it,I told him these ones are too strong for me,I will call my doctor,this man started nagging that so I am calling him senseless and don't know what is good for his own wife? Last last he forced me to take it in his presence,big big drugs o. The next morning I carry phone to check Google and what I saw shocked me. I started panicking. I can't go out to see a doctor,where is the money? He made me a full house wife,wetin I go carry use?

I told him what I found out,he started nagging again and forced me to take it,what Happened next? I started bleeding when he was not at home,before I knew it,the little festus there was out,it has already form sef,tiny hands,legs but no hair or sex yet. I was so traumatized,oya let me go to the hospital to do scan,he said ok. He keeps delaying till blood flow stopped.
After a week blood started flowing again,mind you I was still spitting and vomiting all this while. I started getting weak,see heavy clots of blood,my sister you go fear,I fainted more than twice, that was when I was rushed to the hospital and it was confirm there is a little product left and placenta,my dear I went through another horrible evacuation. That was how I lost my twins baby again. I shared this here, because I know other Mamas will learn one or two things.

I don't know if I should share what also lead to my one month old babys death. Hmmm.

You really are a strong woman. That was careless on your dh part. So sorry for your loss ma. I pray God gives you peace in your heart.

Asanpete111:

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. But I stopped bleeding since the day they did the d&c which was 3 days ago. My normal clear whitish discharge returned since yesterday. I wish I can the remaining ones but I am not seeing blood again. I don't just know what to do

God bless you ma

Sorry for the pain mama. Instead of another D&C ask the doctor about misoprostol. That was what I was given when I had missed miscarriage. It was placed under my tongue and repeated the next day. All is well

ovalrose:
Old... very old member here...
Feels good to be posting again with smiles..

After two miscarriages and one stillborn, God Almighty had mercy on my family and blessed us with a boy very early this morning. Talk about the greatest new month gift.

Despite my BP shooting through the roof and low PCV, Jehovah came through for me. My joy is full.

I pray that successful pregnancy and delivery will be the portion of every pregger and every TTC mom here in Jesus name amen.

I this moniker. Congrats ma. God bless you and your family

GenyEbere:
BS

This pregnancy was the toughest for me,I hardly sleep well,seeing that I needed the baby to properly heal from the death of my mum and mum in-law I hanged on. I started ANC early I never missed my appointment,getting closer date was picked but I wasn't comfortable with it reason I can't explain. Some weeks ago we changed the date to 28/3,I went to the hospital got prepared and went into the theater after some minutes baby was delivered, his cry was loud enough.



Waking up Dr told me that upon opening me up he discovered the cord was almost strangling the baby of which no one knows how long it has been there. Within 3hrs after the birth he started changing color if the oxygen is removed because he was placed on oxygen as the near strangling might have caused shortage of oxygen in his system. He was monitored for 24hrs with no improvement rather he was having fast breathing with noise and his heart was as if it will jump out of his skin,we quickly took him to LifeLine Children Hospital Surulere but unfortunately we lost him on the way to the hospital. They said he had congenital heart disorder which if the surgery is successful the chances of living a normal life will be near impossible. I can't question God all I ask is for strength to move on with the leaking boobs and baby things staring at me and no baby to use them. I have questions but no one can answer me.


I pray we will not cast our young,no pregnant woman here will carry pregnancy and not nurse the child.

May you all carry to them and deliver successfully and to our GTC sisters fear not for your testimony is here.

Mama I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't find the right words here but God is not asleep. He'll visit you again.
