Please go to the hospital quickly and keep drinking water abeg.

Meanwhile if you have kafura at home, drop a little in a bottle of water, like a quarter of the flat cube and drink slowly.
If you have ulcers, make it one -eight sef..

Don't rush it cos it might cause heart burn or constipation.




Thank u mama. I've gone to the hospital

Finally, I am a member of this thread. Hmmmm

So I've been a major non registered member of this group from inception, yes I wrote inception. No I wasn't married, pregnant or trying to conceive when I came across the thread, I'm just fascinated by anything related to health and I've been thoroughly immersed in this thread, the TTC and the IVF threads. Watched many many many monikers come and go, laughed and cried when posts were shared, discovered the diaries of many mamas and I dey drop my likes steadily but only ever commented once after the major anticipation of Proudmum and Prouddad's birth announcement.

I would have registered on this thread since January and grabbed the captain post for October but something came up and I watched Pweetiemum as she made her wonderful post and pregnancy announcement and took it away from me (awww for me abi) Big congratulations sis, may we all deliver safe and sound in Jesus mighty name.

I got married two years back but my husband and I decided to wait for at least a year before trying for kids and just before we scheduled, I came across a post on Facebook where a couple was tested and told that one of them was AA but he was actually AS and they only found out the truth after they had an SS child.

Got alarmed and told my husband that he needs to do a confirmation test. I had done the test in 3 various places and all confirmed AS for me and he had been tested and told AA.
Well, he took the test again in a big lab and will you guys believe it was AS? He was convinced the lab had it wrong so we went to 2 other places and yep, still AS. Ise Oluwa, awa ma ridi ni.

Well we were already married so this was not a matter of let's break up and cry, this was a matter of yeepa!
Thanks to God and thanks to science, there's a test that can be done in utero called CVS - Chorionic Villus Sampling. Here the genotype of the foetus is tested and you will find out if the child is going to suffer from Sickle Cell Disease or not. If yes, you either decide to go along with it or opt for a termination.

To the glory of God, got my results back yesterday and it has ended in praise, we are not SS. My sisters (and brothers) it was an emotionally draining experience as I know it would have been a termination if my child was determined to be SS. A child we already picked names for. This was not up for negotiation, no tete and ludo on someone else's life if I can help it.
Thanks to God Almighty, I didn't have to deal with that.

So here I am, giving all praise and thanks to God for helping my husband and I dodge a bullet and giving me a testimony.

She's not finding it hard to poop, she's learning to poop and her intestines are getting trained.
Put her on her tummy ( make sure you're with her whenever she's on her tummy) ,use warm water to press her tummy in the mornings, eat lots of fruits and also watch what you eat. Most babies are sensitive to beans too.
As long as she is ebf, let your mind rest for tummy issues with your baby.

Sweetheart, yes ooo. They are unusually small and wonderfully slippery. You need to learn the temperature of their bathing water, how to bath them and the most tricky part is that umbilical cord. So please don't let no one deceive you, special thing dey there ooo cheesy.

[quote author=ToyosiR post=54899989]Team August, how are we doing? I presume all of us is now in the rocking stage(2nd trimester). Please, lets all enjoy this period as it is period of enjoyment.

Hope we are rocking the new bumpy look and managing the heavy like weight!!!!!!!

No chase oga ooo. Remember, pregnancy is in already and another one isn't adding to it after its in. Let us revive the ministry. All the shot that was missed in the first trimester must be replayed.
grin grin grin
If you aint comfortable with the missionary style, there are a lot of other methods like shocked shocked shocked

Side-by-side, from behind

Lie with your partner facing your back and entering from behind. Keep some pillows handy for extra support as your pregnancy progresses.

Penetration tends to be shallower in this position. That's a good thing, because deep thrusts can become uncomfortable in later months.

From behind, doggy style

Support yourself on your knees and elbows as your partner kneels and enters from behind. A pillow can provide needed tummy support.

Side-by-side, at an angle


You each lie on your side, your bodies creating a V-shape. Wedge a pillow under your back for support as you face your partner, and rest both legs over his hip. This position allows him to keep most of his weight off your belly

On a chair

Straddle your partner as he sits on a sturdy chair. Position the chair near a wall or another piece of furniture to lean on when you're ready to get up from this position.

Edge of the bed


Shift your bottom to the side or foot of the bed and lie back with your knees bent. (After the first trimester, wedge a pillow under one side so you're not completely flat on your back.)

Depending on the height of the bed, your partner can kneel or stand.

Spooning



Spooning isn't just sweet for getting cuddly. It can also be a super-comfortable way to have pregnant sex, because there's no pressure on your abdomen and you have lots of movement. Plus, your partner can position themselves behind you at different angles to allow for penetration.
