Mamas in the house.
Please, wifey is 37weeks gone and with some checkups and scan, baby was 3.3kg

She was feeling inconvovinience lately and with some Braxton Hicks i guess. So she was dilated and it was at 2CM 4 days ago. She later went for checkup earlier today and was still at 2CM dilation.

So the midwife suggested her using castro oil of which she did even before i knew about it (i was at work while she was at the hospital). She has been visiting toilet with some contractions as well this evening.

I am just a bit worried if everything is ok.

The reason she gave was baby been too big to push out vaginally before 40weeks

Is castro oil safe and will it even speed up birth in anyway?

Thanks

BS! BS!! BS!!!
After doing the baby dance at the peak of my ovulation first week of November,I started looking for period two weeks later I no see. Three weeks into my search I decided to get the test stripes and behold it was positive. Happy was an understatement because that was our first attempt when we decided that we want to be parents and from my calculations I believed I would have a boy.
Everything went smoothly, MS had the better part of my first trimester, then came the 18weeks.... I woke up one morning to this excruciating pain when I wanted to pee, I couldn't even explain where the pain was coming from, I just knew it held my waist and releases it. By day break I went to the hospital and was given drugs yet no relieve,the bad part of it was the drug they gave me was to stop contractions, the doctor did not understand what it was, it was the third hospital that I met a gynaecologist who after series of scan and test told me I had fibriod and that was the cause of the pain but that it was not threatening and my baby would suppress it with time....
Second and third trimester went smoothly, more like I had a guardian angel inside me, no sickness at all.
Fast forward to 39weeks, I woke up to little period like contractions after dancing my heart out like David danced the previous night. I told DH that this might be it so we started monitoring the progress. Later in the afternoon it stopped, I started dancing again this time twice as I did the previous night by 7pm the main contractions started by 9pm we were at the hospital. I was checked and told I was only 3cm dialated (what!!!, after putting this your big hand, can I get a slimmer doctor please).
To cut long story short, 11/7 went by nd baby was still gathering hair( oh God, my boy is very hairy, and looks like a girl), 12/7 came and I did the exercise of my life, I climbed stairs, danced, walk, ran, jog, squats just name it but labor was progressing at a very slow stage... By 9:45pm I felt something burst and my water rushed out, at this point I knew my prince was ready but I wasn't ready for the pain that follows next, I was literally running mad. DH was confused (at a point in time when he was rubbing my back I told him his hands were too strong and he should use the back of his palms, I suffered the young man) but thank God for my younger sister, she was the giant there, she said sorry a million times lol..
The nurse there told me that if I feel the urge to poo I should call them, thirty minutes later I felt the urge to poo and was taken to the delivery room immediately.
First push, the nurse now said "madam, you are not pushing ooo(are you ok ma, what does it look like I'm doing?). Second push I held the nurse and almost tore her uniform, the third push (oh God!!!) I used all the energy I have been saving since I was born and then my love slipped out crying his heart out, the whole hospital heard his voice because it was very loud. That instant I'm sure I said "Thank you Jesus 1000times".
My baby was cleaned and taken to DH, while the tears I had was been stitched. 1hour later I was taken to the ward and I found DH already fast asleep with his son, I cried......
May we all experience the joy of motherhood in Jesus name, AMEN!!!
BS finally submitted.

Congratulations to you mama. May your bundle of joy never turn to sadness.

One question. How about the fibroid? Did it pose any challenge for VD?

Kisses to your LO.

Castor oil only purged me then little contraction nada again.

Maybe it will work for her, she should also drink enough water to avoid dehydration from excess pooing

Thank you ma!
No it didn't, as my baby grew bigger in the womb, he was able to supress the fibriod,
and it shrink before delivery (according to my doctor).

She will just end up purging with that castor oil. Let her stop abeg. She is already having Braxton hicks, her body is prepping for delivery. She can take walks consistently now, do some squats.

Forget that baby weight thing, her body was made for this, she will deliver successfully. Besides, weight according to scan isnt always accurate.

This woman dey laugh oooo,i know by now our baby dey give you midnight work.

Castor oil isn't a threat to the baby. I was given but it didn't work for me while it works for some. So lucky her if it works for her. There's no cause for alarm.

Hello mama's. I have been observing and reading this thread as a guest since I was confirmed pregnant. This thread has been very very helpful.

Today I decided to retrieve my and give a review of mama Zaynie. I noticed most times a mama complains of baby shopping etc her name keeps popping up so I made a mental note to patronise her..

Mama's I did and absolutely have no regret whatsoever. I'm a First time mum who hates market runs and was also on a quite tight budget but she guided me in choosing the right and best products within my budget. Her prices are also very reasonable. I had absolute peace of mind shopping with her.

So if you're like me and hate market runs or a clueless first time mum, you can count on mama Zaynie. �

TEAM OCTOBER

How are we doing? I just discovered that I've started walking like a �
The pressure on my jajaina is top notch and the kicks are not regular, plentier and stronger. I also feel some kind of jelly-like movements right below my pelvis and sometimes in my jajaina. I panicked when it first happened o. Don't know what that is, though.
We hit the 29 weeks mark today. I just know I have like 10 more weeks to go.
Please would it be too early to buy baby formula now and put in my hospital bag? I don't have that strength for exclusive breastfeeding. My other children started formula two to three weeks after birth.

Hello mama , we are good this side. Feeling more abdominal pain and less baby kicks kind of baby spend more time sleeping and wakes to stretch her body then goes back to her sleeping.

I'm yet to start shopping i just feel relaxed about it. I don't know if it's because this is my second baby or just my normal self ( i shopped for first baby's stuffs at 35weeks; went to market that day with DH and bought 95% of my list. I'm the kind of person that would be preparing to trevel and gathering everything i needed with my mind but won't pack bag till late at night or early morning of the day of journey)

The kick and hits from Bobo has reduced as his grandma and cousin are around so he has other people to play with.



About your baby formula,.nothing wrong with buying it now as long as you check the expiry date.

If I try this your method, I will forget half of my things at home. If I need to travel, I start putting what I need in my box small small, then a night to when I will travel, I offload the bag and do a real check to be sure I left nothing behind.

When I had my son, my husband looked at the hospital bag and said, are you carrying this big bag to the hospital, I said yes.

I'm having same issue too...this is not my first pregnancy yet I've ed my edd..my doctor wants to give me more time to fall into labour naturally as she said I still have max 2weeks after edd to fall into labour before they start any form of intervention like induction.my doctor is sticking with my LMP date..so I'm doing my best to fall into labour naturally before the last date.
About the reduced baby movement..the scan you did should tell you if there is anything to be worried about.for now I only feel Braxton Hicks,loss of appetite,and baby is deep down the pelvis as I feel alot of pressure.. doing my best to kick start labour.just have it in mind that you won't be pregnant forever and try not to worry too much about it..which date did your yesterday scan give you?
It shall end in praise for us all.

Good evening mamas, please o I need your opinion on this. I did a scan yesterday according to the scan result the EFBW is 272g at 23weeks. Is the baby not supposed to be bigger than that. I don't understand

If you notice decrease in movement even after taking sugary stuff, then go to the hospital ASAP.

I believe this should be your 3rd child, it'll end in praise.
