Am going to be as open as I can with this writeup... firstly I know it would help smone in future... Secondly writing is therapeutic for me.

In 2020 Wen I lost my dad... I was heavily preggy. they hid the news from me. Thinking I'd lose the baby. Wen I found out, I cried all day stopped eating n sleeping but I carried to term.

Fast forward to this preggy...I happened to stumble on hubby's chats late September...my world crashed...even more painful was the fact dat I had been caving in to his demands for sex even with a cerclage stitched jus to curb his yearnings... N every antenatal my doc wud say... Don't av sex till 37 weeks please... N I'd reply... Of course doc.

My world crashed after I saw those chat... I stopped eating... Stopped sleeping... Stopped laffing... Cried all day for weeks...every one said your condition...I didn't care... Didnt even I was preggy. My job starts at ten am.. But I wud go by seven am...jus to avoid hubby... I'd sit on the steps n cry till d security come by 9.30.. after work I'd roam around till nine pm, head back home n straight to bed...no food no shower... I was slowly loosing my mind.

I didn't even notice the baby wasnt kickin as befo.. I felt if I didn't lose a preggy from crying Wen my pop died... Den I wudnt now... Besides how does crying affect a preggy sef... Dats ridiculous.

October 18th after I roaming about n crying my soul out, got back home around 9:30 straight to guestroom soon as I laid down hot fluid gushed out of me .. I tot it was pee at first... I was jus 32 weeks n edd was December 5th... I started screaming Wen I realized my water had broke... Hubby rushed me to hospital dat night... Emergency scan showed d cerclage had broken and baby was weak wit very minimal activity....had to have a CS asap... The chief doc wasnt around so I had to wait till the next day... I kept begging God please let this baby live biko... If I lose her I'd run insane..I had the baby d next day... October 19th...She weighed 1.9... very fragile n tiny but strong. All the oxygen tanks n poking n pricking her for veins, her head one side sef come swell...phototherapy etc is another story on its own.

We got discharged fourteen days later...hmm.each time I look her...i shudder in fright at what my life wud be like if I'd lost her...am jus glad dat out of all this pain... Smtin sweet n priceless came forth... May our joy never be cut short... Amin...

Congratulations Mama,may your joy be permanent!💐💐💐 Please, for your sake and that of your children just try and take care of yourself. Your sanity and well being is paramount. May God be with you!

November Mamas, how are you all doing?
How's it's going for December mummies? You people are at the finish line, May God Almighty make it smooth, start to finish.

Counting down here till January, though I might due to previous history of going early.

The economy isn't smiling mummies, May God provide us and our families.

B.S! B.S!! B.S!!!

For this B.S, I'm tempted to copy and paste my 2021 B.S because there's little or no difference in both of them.

But here it goes...
Yesterday began like every other day, did school runs came back home to do one or two things then relax, because I supervised the clearing, heaping and planting done on my farm the day before and this resulted in severe pain on my right hip bone.

This made me decide that yesterday was going to be a rest day for me which it was, until I started having stomach cramps and my mind didn't go to contraction at all. I was just there wondering what I ate that could cause the discomfort.

By afternoon still battling the discomfort, I went to buy okro to make ila alasepo and amala dudu which I have been craving. On my way back I met my neighbour who has promised to do henna for me, I just sat at her place and complained about the hip bone pain alone cos I didn't give the stomach cramps much thought.

Got back home, made the ila alasepo and amala but by the time I finished cooking I knew this wasn't just stomach cramp and I need to see the Doc. I quickly made arrangements on how my older children will get home because I can't pick them myself. Fed them and they went out with their dad, with the promise to meet up with them.

By some minutes before 5, I walked in to the hospital to get checked. Doctor examined me and the next thing he said was 'where is your load?' you're 6 kinikan kinikan dilated, by 8pm your baby will be here. I'm like load bawo? Baby ke?🥺🥺🥺Load is still at home I'm not in labour and wasn't expecting to give birth today. Madam please call your husband to bring your bag. Naso I call my husband to bring my box.

Like play, like play my fellow Mamas ba se bere niyen o and true true by 8:21pm my baby girl made her grand entrance into this world.

When my neighbours heard that I've delivered, they couldn't believe it especially the one that did the henna for me and those that met me on my way to the hospital, because how do you explain that someone you were discussing with few hours ago don born.

Before 12pm today we're back at home. Mother and daughter are doing well, older siblings are happy to have a baby sister.

To all Mamas still waddling, I pray that your delivery will not be difficult and you'll hold your bundle of joy in your hands in due time.

I've finally HANGED MY BOOT. I no do again.

Ehn ehn, I want to ask a question ❓ ❓ ❓

How doctors dey take know time wey person go born?

You'll just hear, don't worry by so so time you go born and true true na that time person go born.

Congratulations 🎉

How do you feel now mama? Try to drink alot of water and avoid straining yourself when you go to the toilet. Whenever I experienced this when I was pregnant with my first. I usually eat very small amount of bitter kola and it resolves. But if it persists, kindly go to the clinic.

Thank you mama . It's been two week or more of severe stomach pain and constipation and dealing with pile. I have gone to three different hospitals. Done scan in two different hospitals. I am still unable to use d toilet without insert a laxatives and the stomach pain is not what u have experienced before . Please put mi in ur prayers .

D pain is not like am having cramps . It's just like My stomach is turning me painfully. And am having serious waist pain too . Please ur advice is needed. Thank you

I do experience this too in my second trimester. Sadly, I can't tell you of anything that really helps.

What I do is make vegetable soup with lots of pepper because I know it purges me if I take a lot of it. I do this for two to three days, weekly.

Its the hormones affecting your digestive system.

Good day mamas in the house, my wife is about to enter her third trimester. She complained about the ante-natal private hospital she has been using which is not far from our house. She said she observed that all the nurses were amateur apart from the matron and the gynaecologist. She also complained about their poor services such as light and dilapidated and old-fashioned equipments in the hospital. Infact, the HMO staff told her to prepare her mind for C-section incase the delivery pose a threat to her and she is just 6 months pregnant. My wife has been insisting that I get another hospital for her where they have better infrastructures and equipment because she is getting scared of the hospital. Pls, I stay at Iyana-school bus stop, at Iba L.C.D.A, Ojo L.G.A, Lagos. Please I want you to recommend a very good hospital within my area where she can go for ante-natal. P.S. This is her first experience.
