Yesoo!
My mother said " marriage is like a treasure box, what ever you pick belongs to you, if you pick good, you rejoice, if you pick bad, Oyo na your case""

You sure made a point

But we can still salvage the "OYO case"

BiafranDel:
that was why i sent my wife away to the village to stay with her mom when she was pregnant. i hate what i dont like. i dont tolerate nonsense. i am a very disciplined husband!

You are lucky, you dey naija... you and your wife for dey America, den i go see how you go take send am go village.

Calm down!! My neighbour was pregnant before me and she made me understand that it is not a do or die affair. If she sees it, she eats it but if not, she won't go out of her way.

My cousin is currently pregnant and her husband is away most nights because of his job. So she is alone most times. She craves but does not even have time to act on it all the time. I have seen a lot of people deal with it.

While i have seen the ones that can beg for food just because it smells nice. Food smell used to torment me. I could smell afang from a street away or fried stew with beef...lol. But i think the mind and our strong will can come into play. It is not like the woman is completely helpless and unable to function until she eats the food.

Also, i heard in the past that when a woman is pregnant, her flaws are more pronounced. That those that can go and beg for food even from total strangers had it in them before. I do not know how true though.

And many have been pregnant before me. I am not the first...wont be the last

some people don't fake it o, my SIL will fall sick from the first to the last months, and get better when she gives birth. She's presently carrying the 3rd and she's been sick, from one hospital to the other.

How old is the pregnancy?

ah! throughout her pregnancies (2 boys and a gal) never was a time I saw stress my bro...kai! I dey thank God...I really feel for those who are going through the time just trying to help their wives cope....God will see you all through!

Switruth:

congrats! the product of love is your prize...stress or not we will rejoice!

Awww!! I pray for a safe delivery for her.

I was talking about the cravings. I didn't say it is fake. I only said it could be controlled.

I heard of a pregnant woman that begged a total stranger in a bus for puffpuff and another one that was passing by some women cooking for a party and stopped there to ask them.for the food even if she didnt know them. That is extreme.

Hmmmmm, nothing is extreme my friend. At times, you can't just help it. What matters to you then is to satisfy your cravings. Everybody cannot be the same.

IamD18:
When she farts and start complaining that you aren't caring for not bothering to ask if the fart injured her ass and not saying sorry to her.

Like i asked someone...

Would a pregnant woman pass by a mad woman who is eating something that happens to smell enticing go and meet the mad woman for the food?

If no, that means there is strength deep down somewhere to restrain ourselves.

Pregnancy is really a wonderful period and it affects women differently. But i am saying the cravings are not do or die. My sister craved bushmeat almost all through her 2nd pregnancy...but her husband didnt have the time to drive to lag/ibadan express way to get it for her.

foyeks2001:
Whenever I'm pregnant, I turn to another thing...I can count how many times I cooked all thru the 9months...all thanks to my hubby...he does the cooking...Walahi, I love to be pregnant.
I'm always a very special queen when pregnant. Thank God I married a domesticated man( special thanks to MIL), that's why I must also domesticate my son so that his wife too will enjoy him...

What are maids for?

Just give my wife 5alive with grilled chicken when she is pregnant she will be fine. But if you miss the chicken don't miss the 5alive and if its very chill it will solve any possible ranting. Lol. She still cooks though or hunger for kill both of us.

I have told you earlier, everybody cannot be the same! Speak for yourself and those you know. What you can tolerate, I may not be able to withstand it. If you can manage your own cravings, I may not be able to manage mine.

Are you saying you must eat everything you crave...as in absolutely everything? Even if it is something they sell in Benin and you currently live in Lagos.

And if you don't get to eat it, what happens?

Maids to cook what you are going to eat? It's a capital NO for me.
It pretty diifficult to see a maid that cooks well o bros.

ImaIma1:
I think some women exaggerate it...they probably never get help from their husbands on a normal day and are trying to punish him .

I hardly had cravings i couldn't control. I never woke hubby up for food. I still did things myself...still cooked for him most times. And if i didn't feel up to cooking, i would tell him to get food.

An older friend said he drove to abule egba from surulere to look for masa (i think it is a Ghanaian food) and he once went to a mango sellers house at almost midnight because his wife wanted mangoes.

The question is...what do single pregnant women do? With no husband or man to send around. From experience i realized that this cravings can be controlled. Not the one that one pregnant woman will go and beg for jollof rice where they are cooking as she is passing by

You know how very selfish some Nigerian guys can be especially on Nairaland.
You want to get them started on the path of thinking their wives could do these things on purpose so that they can develop a wicked mindset in future towards their pregnant wives who need a greater degree of care and attention?
You know that`s not true.
You also know that pregnancy differs. Hormones are involved. And when hormones are involved, no two experience are the same (same reason you have some ladies with big boobs and others don`t, hormones; you expect their experiences to be the same?). The fact that you could control your craving doesn`t mean others may be pretending who could not control their craving.

Like someone mentioned, there is a difference between "wife" and a "single" getting pregnant. one gets love and support from her man and she leverages on it rather suffering alone.

There`s no way you are female!!
