Tropilo: I tried in my time o! But there was this time wifey craved for moi-moi around 9pm (she was 5mths+). Where will i find that in this place (Hull, England) at that time of the day. I took my car keys and drove off pretending to go look for it. I drove a few blocks down the road and parked, as i sat in the car thinking of what to do, naim sleep carry me.
I was woken by tappings on the windscreen. It was my wife and one oyinbo woman. Apparently, the woman saw my car and went to do "tatafo". My wife had the intension of coming to confront me and a "chic", only to find me sleeping. My intention was to past time a little so that by the i get back she would slept, but e no work.
However, she called a sis' who's married to an oyinbo man and she gave us bean flour and creyfish. By the d moi-moi ready 12midnight don pass. She still chop am. That day i almost "brake cup" (translate in yoruba).

funny story.

just wondering- was there no beans in the house, or why couldnt you [and/or wifey] make the moi moi yourself.

i doubt the taste would even matter.

@ PrettyCindy, you poor dear! sad

**Lots of hugs & kisses for you**

No woman should have to go through what you've been through. It is indeed strange that your (ex) hubby threatened to get someone else just 3 months into matrimony & yet when you take in 3 months later, he demands you have an abortion? Odd one.

Anyway, May your baby forever be a source of joy & blessings to you!

May the good lord always give you strength & bless you and your baby for always...

cotton101: prettycindy - so I wasn't the only one that went thru hell during my pregnancy. Its almost like we went thru the same thing - my ex even denied the pregnancy initially. man i saw hell, even when I had a threatened miscarriage at 7 weeks he spent 2 days outside the home with one of his many girlfriends and refused to bring money for hospital visits.

he sent me abusive texts during the pregnancy and even after the baby was born - to date (and my daughter is almost 1 and a half) not one penny or call or text to ask if she is alive. High blood pressure almost killed me and my child while giving birth. but it is well o!!

Yet some people will conclude that you are lieing just to attract pity. My ex was very good at lieing to his family n friends to attract pity to himself and he unknowingly said it one day but as for me, i won't lie against him and my sister i believe you. Some men are just too cruel to their wives and i wonder outloud "y did they marry in the first place"? Ex husband made me feel like i was less a human, i never felt like a wife at all. Any way my dear its well with at least we made it out alive. Some others were not lucky.

chaircover: Congratulations Opera. Wishing you both a happy 9 month ride and a beautiful bundle of joy at the end of it. Amen.

One thing I will say and I beleive that many other women will say is that how well a man looks after you during pregnancy goes a long way in increasing the deep love & respect that you have for the man. In my case it makes me overlook some "offences" or "ommisions" that my husband may commit. So what you guys do is not a wasted effort or all for nothing.

tnks dear, but i think its most wicked for a man 2 treat d wife differently during pregnancy, abi dt pregnancy no bi dem collabo? But pls o, why is it dt some of our doctors n even d wives don't allow us come into d labour room? I believe it's d height of all d love n care I'd show her in dt most difficult period.

Wow Cindy, what a horrible, disturbing story. Sounds like you fell into the hands of a mad man there. I thank God for you that you made it out with your life and for your new bundle of joy. May God heal you, protect and provide for you both and may your son bring you joy always.

Amen and Amen.

Nice thread, my husband really tried because I was always sick and the doctor said I should not stress myself. The only aspect I don't like is my husband cooking because he cooks so fast n the food does not taste sweet. But I like him making the pounded yam, semo and bringing me Fan yogo from work. It's a sweet journey but headache no allow me rest.

OMG! Your ex is a confirmed nutcase.May God continue to strengthen and protect you and your baby.
PrettyCindy: I was quite unlucky that i ended up with a cruel human as husband (now ex). 3 months after marriage when i didn't take in, he threatened to impregnate another woman soon. Well i finally got pregnant 6 months after marriage and i saw hell. I have never told anyone about this experience cos am a bit ashamed of it. He wasn't that happy over the news cos he already has a son from his ex fiancee (she ran away due to constant battery and i got to know late). My pregnancy was quite tough in the first 2months with the vomiting and all. He never showed concern when i was throwing up, weak, coughing, sick etc. We were married and living together but i was alone, terribly lonely. I still did all the chores, i mean every single thing including working 8am to 6pm daily. At a time i had severe cough, catarrh, nausea, vomiting and fever, this man opened up his mouth one night i just finished throwing up and said that "God was punishing me for my sins", that i wasn't sick cos of pregnancy but it was all punishment from God. I told him the only reason i was sick was because i was pregnant meaning that the sin i committed was sleeping with him as my husband. A day later he told me i was the most unimportant person in his life! Anyway long story short we seperated when i was about two months pregnant. He told me to get rid of the pregnancy since we were seperating and he proved his point by refusing to give me money for ante natal and by trying to kill the baby in my womb when he battered me but he didn't succeed. With the help of God i was able to carry my baby perfectly fine and put to bed safely. He is about 5months old now and indeed a blessing to my life and i love him with my with my life. If i had stayed with that man, i would have either lost the pregnancy or committee suicide cos of frustration or would have been pushed to the wall to do the unthinkable.

Very educative and informative as well. . . . . .what Nairaland used to be known for.
Chai, showing this to my friend who just got married

You are right Emporoh. Such threads are scarce commodity now. sad

@Topic,

According to hubby he was supportive to the best of his ability butaccording to me, e no try reach.lol

I had morning sickness with constant vomitting d first 4 months so it usually leaves me really weak. I couldn't take in anything without throwing it out. Hubby was really supportive then. He was eager to help me get sum'n that will stay in my tummy, supporting with 'basic' house chores and d likes. Sex was a big issue as I was always so tired. So he had to endure. He was good at massaging too. He also bought me lots of books to read on pregnancy and stuff.

I was a lot stronger during my last trimester. That was when e no try at all. He was always running away from me cos of my biggy belle. Says he was scared of it.lol. Na by force we dey have sex o and doctor says na dat tym I need am pass. Due to the nature of his jobs, he travels a lot as well. Till date, I still blame him for the Episiotomy and tear during delivery grin cheesy
He was most especially good at the dos n don'ts during pregnancy. He made me follow doctors instructions to the letter. cool

ooo my you really went through a hard time. I know what its like when these men become real mean during pregnancy. I had it all during my last pregnancy but thrust me thats another thread altogether. Some men just loose it really, i think pregnancy it can go either way either they real good or real bad. thank g-d you and baby survived and you are moving on to a brighter future.
Re: How Supportive Was Your Significant Other While You Were Pregnant? by Tgirl4real(f): 12:03am On Apr 30, 2012
@ prettycindy and Cotton101,

God is your strength. See me complaining dat my hubby didn't do enough, whereas some of you had it extremely difficult. I know how it is when pregnant with all the raging emotions. I can only imagine what an abuse of any sort will do to you at that stage.

At d early stage of my pregnancy, around d first few weeks, my hubby didn't understand. He thought I was just being lazy and seeking attention. At a point, I had to text him to let him know that his attitude poses a danger to my health and that of our unborn child. He got d msg straight on and repented.

I'm so sorry for what you guys went through.
