Some women experience complications in pregnancies that takes time to go away,months or years after the baby is birthed........
I still have contractions sometimes...doesn't last more than a minute and i can't explain it........No one can!
My stomach never went down after my last CS and i don't think there is any miracle that will make it flat unless i go under the knife to fix.....I wont cos I am too scared to..........(I ain't got flat stomach but I got Jesus)
A friend of mine developed hernia during pregnancy and it has become so bad that she needs surgery to fix it....
A BV developed Vaginismus during pregnancy and their child is a year old and he still cant penetrate.
What about you?Do you still have some of the complications or 'sickness' you had during pregnancy?
Lets gist!
I met a lady at the clinic recently and she came to run some test. She said she hasn't seen her period since she put to birth 3 years ago. She was really sad and worried and I felt like crying on her behalf
ReplyDeleteOh dear!! This is so sad. I saw mine 7 months later in both pregnancies.
Delete@twins squared,mine was 7months too for both babies!
DeleteEverything goes back to normal for me,only the period comes back after 7months!
Wow!
Deletemine came back at 4months,back to my flat stomach,my baby is 8months already and you wouldnt even know i gave birth.I stopped having menstrual cramps to
DeleteMine was 2yrs. Tell her to relax it will come.
DeleteDocs claim I will recover my sight,am hopeful cos is messed up after that torment called labour and pushing
I had my first child via Vagina Delivery almost 4 years ago and I had my second via CS because the baby was not getting enough oxygen and some other complications not up to a month ago and I have still haven't healed completely. It really is affecting my mental health because I wasn't prepared for it. Does anyone else feel this way?
DeleteTo all mothers out there , May God Almighty bless us all 🙏. I have never had issues with childbirth. Nothing changed except for my breast that became bigger and drop from the main point. No headache, no BP, no backache.
DeletePreety
DeleteBe patient pls. Follow the doctor's instructions, don't stress yourself. It will take months for you to fully heal and recover. CS is not a child's play.
Sorry sdk i posted under a wrong comment
Delete@Preety
Be patient pls. Follow the doctor's instructions, don't stress yourself. It will take months for you to fully heal and recover. CS is not a child's play.
May God help u Pretty.
DeletePreety, I did my CS almost 5 months ago and I'm still recovering. Don't forget CS is major surgery; your intestine was removed after they cut and tear you up to get to the baby.
DeleteMake sure you take your meds and rest very well.
Stress makes it impossible to heal very fast.
Love
Preety, I wanted water birth for my first child but I had CS for both. With the first I was crying that I didn't want to die because people in Nigeria where I'm from die after CS 😂😂😂😂, with my second I was ready for CS cos my water broke a day before and 24 hors on baby still wasn't ready to come.
DeleteCS is not an easy thing (Physically or Emotionally) and I don't understand why some people are shy or embarrassed to say they had CS.
Take your time, relax, eat well and heal properly.
Enjoy bonding and sleepless nights 😜😂😂 with baby, they grow really quick.
Sending you love my dear.
what an ignorant generalised statement anon 09:01
DeleteDuring pregnancy, i noticed my fart became louder as in real loud and it came frequently. Its been 3 years and still the same, my husband don tire...lol. I cant seem to control it. No more silent release...hehehe
ReplyDeletePls adjust I am on this table with you. Mine goes fraaapapapa. My hubby has accepted it as his cross.
DeletePls adjust I am on this table with you. Mine goes fraaapapapa. My hubby has accepted it as his cross.
Delete😄 you girls, sorry I'm laughing but it's really funny 😅
DeleteYou guys didn't sit on that native seat?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Omo came back and dey quickly made 1 for me, I think it can still b rectified, ask those old Calabar women pls.
DeleteHmm.. Una own better. Mine is during sex. At first I was so embarrassed but hubby jokingly said its the background music our sexlife s been missing. Am more relaxed now but hope it stops soon
DeleteIts your vagina bringing out air, its not real fart. Go and do sitz baths, your bath canal will go back to normal
DeleteYou need to re-do your "siltz bath" dunno if I got the spelling correctly. Or you can get a strong plastic bucket, pour hot water (not over boiled so the vapour doesn't burn you), add enough salt and Dettol. Sit on it with your legs closed and stand up or open your legs to ease the heat if it is too much then close again.
DeleteDo this as often as you can for like 2 weeks, ensure your legs are close...it heals the opening in the vagina.
I had the loud farting sound after my third child because I felt I was now an expert and didn't take the siltz bath seriously... Mehn when I noticed it continued after almost like 1 month post delivery, I went back to do the correct it and it stopped immediately.
Sorry for the long epistle and any typos, I no get strength to goan proof read again. I just hope you get the point Sha
**Coco***
Una sorry.
DeleteWhen you sit down always close your legs i.e. when you give birth. Hot water, sit bath and always close legs and use that local bench/desk avoid sitting on cushion chairs shah for some weeks o.
E go be
Mine is irregular sleeping pattern. I sleep at a stretch 3 hours max i will wake and before i fall back it will take a conscious effort. I also struggle to lose weight on and off. What about sex, urge is dead like dead dead.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I slept for 6 hours. It's always 12.00 to 5.00am and sometimes I wake up earlier.
DeleteSame thing here, i can completely relate to the irregular sleep pattern. My circadian rhythm is completely off.
DeleteMy sleep is bad to the extent that some nights I don't fall asleep no matter how tire iam.motherhood is not easy joor
DeleteSee my people. How I love to sleep a lot before I got married. But since I got pregnant and have my baby I no longer sleep well. Can't even sleep for two hours straight without opening my eyes to check my baby or husband.
DeleteDuring my messed up sleeping pattern I woke my daughter up around 2am,ask her to go and shower and prepare for school.she was already 7 but my son in year 5 always go with our neighbour. When I knocked my neighbours house she was still asleep and scared when she opened the door. She said its just 2am is everything okay. If you see the way I left my son and ran to the street to look for my daughter but luckily her instinct told her something was wrong because she said nobody was outside.. Thank God nobody reported me to social service because their dad said I have mental problem when we separated now we are back together as a family.
DeleteThank God for you
DeleteMine is back pain, mostly when I bend down to sweep
ReplyDelete@Flawless, I got physio for my back pain and it worked. See if it might help you.
DeleteAnon, I will love to see a physio too, this my back still pains me
DeleteThanks Anon....I will definitely try it
DeleteI tot they said d back pain is due 2Sugar?
DeleteStill got hip on my left, 8 years later.
DeleteI used a hot water bottle and deep heat massage for mine. I don't feel it except when I carry a heavy load for a long time consecutively
DeleteI developed hernia and I had a surgery but my tummy has refused to go down since my last baby. I recently got a waist trainer and it's helping.
ReplyDeleteMy shoe size has increased. I sometimes have lower abdominal pain. I did various scan and I was told nothing was wrong.
The price we pay for motherhood.
My knee still creaks when I walk and I sometimes experience pain in it.
DeletePlease what market can I get shoes for big feet?
Everything uve written,am facing same am even scared to do d hernia surgery.
DeleteEverything uve written,am facing same am even scared to do d hernia surgery.
Delete@Twins squared,what's your size?
DeleteI wear a 43
DeleteThat shoe size stuff is from gaining weight, but when you reduce, it will come back.
DeleteMine is 39, after giving birth it increased to size 40, I lost weight and its now size 39
Mine is umbilical hernia. Losing weight, proper diet and exercise helped get it under control. I don't necessarily need surgery because it doesn't protrude at all but when i eat certain things outside of my diet, i still feel the pain.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI gat none, thank you Jesus 🙏
Thank God for you
DeleteMine is anxious thoughts, my baby is 9months now but I'm still thinking something bad will always happen don't know how to pull out from this as I have prayed and begged God to see my through
ReplyDeleteIt's your maternal instincts kicking in.
DeleteMy dear, it's anxiety and it can be a disorder. I was diagnosed too after my second baby. A good sleep may fix it. Visit your doctor to prescribe the right drugs.
DeleteIt's postpartum anxiety, it's very treatable. Please see a doctor
DeleteBe positive and always rebuke such thought
DeleteVaricose veins
ReplyDeleteI'm suffering from this too
DeleteI need vericose veins removal tips or something that can minimize them. I have spent a fortune on creams.
I suffered vaginismus after my first baby cos of episiotomy..asked my hubby to tear it into to..no time.
DeleteMade sure I wasn't given that epi in second and third.
Can't be a virgin anymore!
I loose the extra weight immediately because of exclusive breast feeding, I tend to gain more months later then I start maintaining, I noticed I fart through the front hole since my last baby,it comes through the back too but most of the time its the front!
ReplyDeleteI think this farting from the vagina can be corrected.
DeleteOh I was warned against this . There is this myth that if you were sewn up after tear and you don’t sit well on your vagina due to the pain you will fart from your vajayjay. The woman was always singing it to my ears so I endured and wasn’t tilting to the side when sitting .
DeleteAfter giving birth to my last baby,I started limbing asin dangurgu.My baby weighed 5.3kg and I gave birth normally na so my hip bone shift o,I stayed 3mths I couldn't walk.Now I'm limbing 😭.me that used to be a slay mama,see what childbirth cost me.
ReplyDeletePele 🤗🤗 dear
DeleteOh dear!
DeleteSo sorry,motherhood is not easy at all.
Limping* sorry about that.
DeleteChai😲😲.I'm scared oh.
DeleteSo sorry dear
DeleteA doctor allowed you push out a 5.3kg baby??😲 whatever happened to CS? That was very risky o....sorry dear
Delete@Anon 14:58 Its called obstetric palsy. Can be caused by various reasons including size of the baby and the lithotomy position. You need physiotherapy as this can be corrected.
Delete@Elka I'm sure the doctor told her she would have CS but she rejected it and opted to have her baby like "Hebrew women".
DeleteI hope others are learning
5.3kg! Omg!!!
DeleteI don't mean to be rude, but how did your vjay survive that?
So sorry.
DeleteWhy don't you go see a doctor to see what can be done to correct it.
You pushed out an 11.66 ie 12 pound baby? Goodness Gracious. Don’t even wanna think about the episiotomy you must have had.
DeleteMay God heal you Dear.
See how you disfigured yourself madam... You took a very big risk. Will the vjay go back? #justathought
DeleteSorry
Holy molly!!! An 11 pounds baby? Jesus Christ! i would have had an elective CS for that. Nigerian women should be educated there is nothing wrong with opting for a ceasarean section birth. i had a 9 pounds baby, 10months later i'm still reeling from the trauma.Had pubic symphysis separation. Undergoing pelvic floor physical therapy to correct it.
DeleteMadam!!!! That was a big risk you took. My second baby was 4.3 and I keep saying if I had known (my last scan was at 7months) he was that big would have opted for elective cs. That was too much stress you put your body through. Too much.
DeleteAfter my 3rd baby I can't view my veejaay anymore (I have Jesus, who needs a flat tummy) used to be a size 40 now I am 42. Can't sit or bend for too long cos of waist pain. My libido has gone downhill.
Mine is eclampsia(high blood pressure)... Baby is 4mths old. They said it might go back to normal or probably stay this way
ReplyDeleteYou mean you still have it 4 months after your baby? Pls go check it out, sis. It's not SUPPOSED to stay that way. This is very serious.
DeleteI don't think it's something to worry about. I had it too and had to have my baby via CSection. I mean my bp was as high as 200/90, 210/90 and like that.
DeleteThe high bp lingered till after 9months of birth. My baby is 2years+ and I got over it. It's back to normal now.
Fidel it is not abnormal, my friend has it. Just don't give birth to many children if you want to live long because it increases with each pregnancy.
Delete@perxian I'm also passing through the same high BP stuff, I've been on drugs for 1 year now. Any idea how to tackle it ?
Delete@perx are you telling me? Shit is very serious! Am I not still dealing with the anxiety of raising a 1.5kg preemie(at birth) miracle? He's 5.6kg now thank God
Delete@anon it increases??? My bp was about 200/110 during pregnancy o🤦
A friend of mine had a miscarriage like 3 years ago and hasn't seen her period ever since plus she said she still has breast milk coming out of her breasts, can't get pregnant.
ReplyDeleteThey've been to so many hospitals and spent alot.
She said her husband is starting to act up (this one just breaks my heart)
Gosh! This is heartbreaking. My prayers are with her. 🙏🏻
DeleteSandra tell you friend to see a specialist endocrinologist or a gynecologist.
DeleteThat her case is a minor case.
Hormonal imbalance they call it prolactinamia (high prolactin) she needs drugs or else her body will keep feeling she has a baby she's nursing and pregnancy will be difficult
Delete@ push up, if that is the case why do some nursing mothers get pregnant? Some without even seeing their period yet
DeleteCus bodies differ
DeleteI am speaking from experience
Nursing mother that added water to what the baby takes while on exclusive is not safe not to get pregnant. Exclusive breast feeding without adding water at all is only the safest .
DeleteHyperprolactinemia.see a specialist.
DeleteYou need a fertility gynaecologist. I used one in 2019 after a miscarriage in 2018, and I had my baby in 2020.
DeleteI did hormonal profile, but hsg(extremely painful) and vaginal scan.
They all paid off but you need to see fertility gynae first
Please if you get to read my message, I suffered from the same thing. Turns out I had hyperprolactinemia. You can google it. Please let her see a gynae, I was prescribed parlodel, which brought down my prolactin levels, stopped the breast milk, and returned my ovulation, I got pregnant again a month into taking the drug, unfortunately, it ended in a miscarriage again. However, what I'm saying is her case is minor, let her go see a gynae.
DeleteRecently went for a scan because of a bulge I noticed on my upper tummy, discovered I’ve developed umbilical hernia. I just have 1child. My doctor told me to wait after birthing all my children then I can go for the surgery. That’s if it’s not giving me concern
ReplyDeleteWomen have suffered.
ReplyDeleteAnd on top all of these, some have to deal with a cheating and/or abusive partner.
It's really heart breaking
DeleteSee eh, sometimes I wonder why God let men treat us that way. They need instant judgement.
DeleteWomen allow themselves to be treated that way. It is not by force to remain with such a man
DeleteThat's why we dey kill them nah. The heartbreak dey reach born o.
DeleteMy baby is a year old, but I'm still having back pain.
ReplyDeleteLooking more charming now ,cos before I be correct lepa shannnnndy.🤣but now am enjoying my new look. SHOUT OUT TO ALL MOTHERS.
ReplyDeleteFf
ReplyDeletePregnancy induced hypertension. It didnt change after delivery☹
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmhhh, it didn't oo. Wetin man pikin go do?
DeleteDon't have many children if you want to live long o. It incresases with each pregnancy
DeleteLost some of my fluency and vocabulary after my second child. Some times, I have to think for a bit before I complete a sentence. I didn't think much of it till I recently had to study for IELTS. Recorded myself speaking I noticed I was stammering a lot and having lots of uncompleted sentences. Pregnancy really affected my memory.
ReplyDeleteI am also much more emotional after my kids. I get very teary watching some movies,never used to happen.
My feet got a size bigger too.
On the positive side, I now have more hips, boobs and a camel toe 😁
Happy new year RSQ, been a while.
DeleteOh mine!!! U don't say... I became a parrot,me wey nobody know my voice b4, all my English vanished... Wow
DeleteI gave birth month ago I've been having backache ever since then ,I can't wash 5pair of clothes my wrists hurt badly and I forget things easily.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about that🤗
DeleteSo sorry Abimbola
DeleteI think you should take calcium supplements
DeleteWhat's going on in your wrist is carpel tunnel syndrome, calcium won't correct it but a good wrist splint will do the magic after continuous use. Please go to the pharmacy and buy a wrist splint
DeleteI had the painful wrist after my girls in 2014..it started like 5 months into the pregnancy and stayed about 2-3 months after delivery. sometimes i couldn't even lift a cup or open a can. even a bottle of drink was war. it was just massage and more massage till it disappeared. thank God the only complication I had was an infection after CS that kept me back in hospital 2 weeks after, then my feet that went from size 42 - 43. yes i also had something the doctor called Restless leg Syndrome. you feel like your leg is itchy or something is moving but you cant touch exactly where. i just disappeared on its own. God bless us mothers
DeleteOver to those that have given birth
ReplyDeleteI noticed my shoe size reduced from 42 to 37. I now wear size 37( heels, slippers, sandals, sneakers...). My mum said it isn't normal. That I should consult a doctor.
ReplyDeleteBut sincerely, am not worried.
Wow,mine increased from 38 to size 40
DeleteThe reverse was your case. Wow!!! This is good. 👍
DeleteChineke😳😳😳😳😳😳! This is d first time I'm hearing abt reduction in shoe size.
DeleteJust wowww
Umbilical hernia, awful sleep pattern, epic weight gain,joint inflammation 😭 infact, God abeg just take control 😁
ReplyDeleteAmen 🙏
DeleteI forget things a lot now, my feet size increased,,weight gain.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, reading this gives me goose bumps, Although I would like to go through elective CS,But my mum thinks I'm crazy, and she said my tummy might never go down. For me, I'm so scared of vaginal birth, I have a very tight punani, even after sex, It will snap back like he never entered, that's why my boo doesn't joke with me at all. The tight punani is the more reason I don't want vagina birth.
ReplyDeleteElective is what I did too cos labour pain is more painful than anything you can think of .
DeleteI had elective cs for my two kids
DeleteMy tommy is flat
I am now a size 10/12
Wo I will pick elective any day any time.
I diet sha
I am looking for a good gym to firm my body
Apart from the little stretch marks on my tommy, I don't look like I have kids 5years after my second.
It was a whole lot of work though before I finally got here. Earlier on I was bigger and had hand pains from time to time but it's gone now.
You can opt for an elective CS if you want, after all it's your body. Depends on what's most important to you.
DeleteAs for me, I want my tummy back at all cost so I am doing everything possible to avoid caesarean section, I still need to slay, and feel good about myself.
My husband has been cheating even before I got pregnant, so I don't think my choice of birth will Change him...
After my 4th, is satica, and diastatis rectum. Am using exercise to manage all. And arthritis too. People think am slay mama, not knowing I try my best not to be fat, and the pelvic pain turn to cat walking for me. God bless all mothers. We are the real MVP.
ReplyDeleteI can't walk on heels again. I miss those days of wearing 6" stilettos. 3" self na war. Right now, all my shoes are flats.
ReplyDeleteGot wider hips, and my feet got bigger.
Before childbirth I can tell u what happened during world war but now I can't even remember what happened yesterday again.i forget things easily.i used to wear size 40/41 but now I wear big 42,mMaking my legs shameless.
ReplyDeleteShoe size increased, blood pressure didn't go down again and my tummy refused to go down too☺️☺️
ReplyDeleteBlend a table spoon of apple cider vinegar and lemon and lime with any smoothie of your choice every other day. Rinse your mouth o e dey shock teeth. Eat after ten am . And before seven pm. Do reverse sit-ups standing up. Watch your weight and belly drop like wrapper
DeleteAfter reading all these I can’t but show huge respect. What women go through. I chose not to have children because I was not sure I could stand the pain. I am now glad I did not. Even reading some of these stories are really scary. Wow, women are very strong. God Bless You All. Na wa!
DeleteThere is nothing that pains more than having your stitches reopened after delivery and leaving a gapped wund down there
ReplyDeleteOmg! That sounds really awful. I hope you get through it
Deletehnnnm mine was 3 stitches that loosened but the doctors did not stitch them back cos they said it would heal on its own and it was not deep in the muscle, cant even remember all they said again.. they put a device to drain the pus and i was in hospital for 2 weeks...
DeletePlease what can I take to loose my tommy flat 3months after childbirth. Is it safe to take lemon, cucumber, pineapple and ginger all blend together?
ReplyDeleteDont use those if you are breastfeeding they will affect your child o..lemon, lime and ginger juice works. After weaning. For now use waist belts and simple exercise like skipping and jumping.
DeleteUmbilical hernia and hemorrhoid(pile).
ReplyDeleteI have to practically push back in my rectum after pooping. My baby is one year old. Needless to say, I still have mama's pouch, the bulge doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon.
I cringe at the mention if pile. God bless all mothers oo
DeleteMmmn. If I start to talk. Body pains, back pain,when I lie down to stand up na wahala. reduced eye sight, reduced menory, I had pile when I got pregnant and my anus has refused to enter even though I dont feel pain anymore.
ReplyDeleteNot married yet but am afraid...
ReplyDeleteNot married yet but am afraid...
ReplyDeleteRectovagina fistula (passing out feaces through both anus and vagina)
ReplyDeleteGod is still in business of healing. Recieve a clean and a brand new genitals.Amen
DeleteHV it been corrected? Do take care dear. I experienced it too
DeleteI'm now a very light sleeper, and if for any reason I open my eyes while sleeping, it will take me hours again to sleep.
ReplyDeleteOh! The big tummy.
Darker complexion
I want to correct any child I see doing wrong, I no longer mind my business.
Hemorrhoid
I also feel I'm no longer as smart as I used to be.
God bless mothers and keep us all to enjoy our hardwork
Though I'm not married yet but my heart bleeds reading all this challenges women pass through while pregnant & at delivery yet some men will deny the women access to their children in the guise that they have the financial capacity & the women are house wives.
ReplyDeleteThis's really sad.
To every mother I salute you & I pray that you will eat the fruit of your labor.
The most Complex B
Omg! The stories here are really scary! Father lord into thy hands I commit my future pregnancies. Amen 🙏
ReplyDeleteMehn these stories gives me goosebumps o. Women deserve all the care n respect from their men o. Shuu see loss of memories,smtin fistula ( feaces coming via vagina n anus) Nawa o. Pls tell us with CS can your stomach come down
