8 Nigerian Women On Their Funniest Pregnancy Moments by BigCabal: 2:49pm On Feb 01, 2021 |
With all the hormones flying about during pregnancy, it is no surprise that pregnant women end up doing some very funny things. So, we asked people to share the funniest experiences they have had pregnant, and those they have witnessed. Odion, 56 One day while I was pregnant I had this sudden urge to lick ice cream. It was a bit different from the 2am fried yam cravings. I felt like if I did not have ice cream, I would die. My husband’s friend had to help me buy ice cream. When he asked how much of the ice cream I wanted, I gave him a paint bucket and told him to fill it up. When he brought it back, I licked so much ice cream I passed out and woke up in the hospital. Angel, 37 I could not eat stew made with a blender. I would come back home from work, remove my jacket and bring out the grinding stone. After grinding my tomatoes and pepper, I would give to my sister to cook for me. It had to be grinded with a grinding stone, and I had to be the one to grind it. My sister kept complaining because we had a blender, but that was the only way I would eat. Amaka, 31 When I was pregnant I could only eat food with a small spoon. When my husband brought me indomie with a fork, I started crying. I told him that he didn’t love me and I threw the indomie at him. Now, I can admit that I was being a bit dramatic. Bisi My sister made a grilled sandwich when she was pregnant with her second baby. It was in her hand and she was so excited to eat it that she started to cry because she knew it would taste good. She was just crying with the sandwich in her hand Continue: https://www.zikoko.com/her/8-nigerian-women-on-their-funniest-pregnancy-moments/ |

I just can't get past the fact that only pregnant wives of doting monogamists have these 'uncontrollable' cravings. Millions of co wives, as well as teenage and unwed mothers; carry their pregnancies to full term (the unwed mothers even evade detection long enough to dump them in hostel toilets) without anyone hearing about any cravings or early morning sicknesses. Makes me believe that they are either faked to get favours/attention, or actually controllable, but exaggerated; again to get favours/attention. It is all about psychological manipulation of the poor long-suffering husband. 9 Likes |

cococandy: Abegi. Nine months this and nine months that. Holding it like a sword over someone's head. Pregnancy can't pass the bloated feeling you get when you eat 4 wraps of fufu, then your friend buys N10k suya and you have to help in finishing that too. Please explain logically why women who have no expectation of attention, or who do not want to attract attention to their pregnancy, never get cravings, or at worst; control them very effectively. 7 Likes |

RisenPhoenix1: @ bold. I know right? Seeing as you have a perfectly valid personal experience to draw from. You want me to “logically” explain to you why women who want to hide their pregnancies never get cravings or manage to control them. Because you & I have met all of them and know for a fact that they didn’t find a way to indulge in their cravings, haven’t we? That’s how we know they never did. If you are ignorant about something, ask like someone who actually wants to learn. Don’t be cocky in your ignorance. It’s irritating. Asking me to “logically” explain something to you when your question is devoid of basic logic. And no not all pregnant women get cravings. Some don’t have appetites for anything and even have to be supported on parenteral nutrition. For those who do/did, you don’t get to tell them how it felt. 33 Likes 3 Shares |

cococandy: You mean they can indulge their cravings without making a scene? How nice. Then why don't single wives of doting monogamists do that as well? It all comes back to attention seeking whichever way you twist it. Now that you brought that up, it is also ironic that unwed mothers never seem to need parenteral nutrition. The first thing you hear of their pregnancy is finding a baby dumped in the hostel toilet. No, I haven't met them all. But if you say you've heard of a teenage unwed mother waking her father up at 3 am to buy suya for her uncontrollable cravings, I'll believe you. 4 Likes 1 Share |

RisenPhoenix1: I’ll remind the next pregnant wife of the nearest “doting” monogamist I know to check with you before they do something about their own cravings . That way you’ll stop assuming that they don’t. Now that you brought that up, it is also ironic that unwed mothers never seem to need parenteral nutrition. how would you know that? Do you treat women with hyperemesis gravidarum? If no one amongst your family or friends had it and had to be hospitalized or required to check in weekly for parenteral nutritional support, is there a reason on earth why you would know whether unwed mothers get it or not? You think married mothers are self-inducing continuous nausea and vomiting to the point of developing severe malnutrition or even esophageal varices for your (male) attention? The self conceit. The first thing you hear of their pregnancy is finding a baby dumped in the hostel toilet. No, I haven't met them all. But if you say you've heard of a teenage unwed mother waking her father up at 3 am to buy suya for her uncontrollable cravings, I'll believe you. You think it appropriate to compare a scared child to a grown woman living in her own home freely without fear that her parents will disown her for being pregnant? While one may suffer in silence, the other has no reason to. 24 Likes 2 Shares |

RisenPhoenix1:even the unwed ones also have that crazy cravings for somethings, but they wl control it cuz they are being endured wherever they are instead of being celebrated.... some will even pretend and manage the morning sickness very well and people around dem won't even detect....our environment or circumstances determines the level of behavior most times.... 4 Likes |

mariahAngel: Actually, I'm very kind and empathic. I just have a phobia for being scammed. And I don't like it when people pretend to me as I don't ever pretend to people. Maybe you could say I'm exceptionally mistrustful, especially of the women folk, but that's because over time, I've learnt from experience that they pretend a lot, even when they are outwardly angels; and even when there is no actual need to do so. For example, what you just said to me, not only do I not find it offensive at all, but I actually appreciate it, because insulting as it is meant to be, I know it's what you truly believe about me, erroneous as it is. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Amaka, 31Okay this was a little bit extra... Scratch that, this was a whole mile of extra. What was she thinking? Seems to me she had been nursing grudges and then found a way to use her silly cravings as an excuse to act. I don't believe a lot of these women are normal... this isn't even a misogynistic thing to say, it's just obvious. 4 Likes |

JovialJune: My wife learnt not to play such tricks on me early in life. In her first pregnancy, when we were about 3 or 4 months married, she was trying to force me to buy her suya late at night (the reason why I always use that late night suya analogy). My mother was even supporting her, can you imagine? I just chuckled at both of them, very helpfully fetched my wife's car keys and tossed them on the table for them to go and buy whatever they wanted. They took one look at the dark empty streets outside and the suya craving miraculously disappeared (praise the Lord). I was never asked again, either during that pregnancy or any other thereafter. Me that did all the work putting in the baby, I didn't wahala anybody to buy me suya. 6 Likes 1 Share |

crackhaus: Don't you just hate it when people try to play a fast one on you? There is no physiological, anatomical or biochemical explanation for the pregnancy cravings that women supposedly get. Personally, I believe in science. I love science. As long as there is no satisfactory scientific explanation; and there currently is not; I'm taking any such stories with a big pinch of salt; in fact, a big bag of salt. 4 Likes 1 Share |

RisenPhoenix1: Just off the top of my head.(feel free to actually read up on this topic if your ego will let you). Reasons why some women may get cravings during pregnancy. 1) The placenta. The placenta is the chief cause of chemical imbalance in a woman’s body during pregnancy. It secretes several hormones that help to support and keep the pregnancy viable. One of the major side effects is change in taste buds. This change can cause cravings for things different than what normally constitutes her regular diet. A tiny bit of what the placenta does. A tee at tiny bit. Read more on it. 2) Nausea. Can cause cravings for sour/salty & spicy substances. In a bid to get rid of sick taste in the mouth caused by vomiting. 3) Nutritional deficiencies. (Major cause of cravings). The growing fetus will take what it needs to grow and thrive, inevitably leaving the woman with less to nourish herself. Common deficiency is iron, vitamin Bs and D complexes amongst others. Women find themselves craving dirt, loving the smell of earth, eating clay and things that they normally wouldn’t. But are often rich in minerals and vitamins. Many women don’t know why they crave the things they do, but the brain knows what they body is lacking and drives a sense of desirability towards those things in other to feed itself. It’s honestly not about you SIR. The amazing human body in its glory knows how to direct its resources in a bid to sustain itself with or without our minds approval.
If you love science that much, reading a little about things you know nothing about wouldn’t be that difficult. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Every pregnancy differs, sickness, cravings, weakness or anything comes at different periods for different women. While some women are usually agile and can do chores conveniently, some may be advised to be on bedrest, some can crave for the weirdest things ever, some don't even crave for anything at all, it all boils down to the individual. It is not every woman that is dramatic or manipulative, everything does not revolve around men. When you are pregnant, your survival and that of your baby comes first even before you think of any man. 5 Likes 1 Share |
