So sorry for your loss. This is very painful even to me, now I can't imagine the kind of pain you and your fiancee will be going through. I pray God heal and comfort you. Other Children will come and stay by His grace.

Amen

Saintmary:
I read through your story, every single word.


You went through a tough experience, I cannot begin to imagine how much pain you felt, but I can only pray that God will bring a smile to your face soon.


My regards to your fiancee, I pray for her strength too.


Have a restful weekend.

Amen. Thank you very much.

Congratulations in addy,be prepared to welcum your incoming triplets soonest.

Kisses to your wife and respect to mothers around the world.

Thank you very much. God bless you.
Na single I want next sha.

First of all, I want to use this medium and opportunity to praise all females worldwide. Most especially the mothers. I have seen and witnessed that being a mother is never an easy task. I cherish and adore all mothers worldwide.
There is this particular song we often sing during our primary education days:
'There is no one like mama to me'
'No matter as poor she may be'
'I am travelling round the world, looking for mama'
'there is no one like mama to me'

Though the story is very long to tell here, but I will summarize it as much as I can.

The Good News
It was all good news when my fiancee told me she feels pregnant 3rd week of January, 2022. Without delaying, we hurriedly visited a hospital for confirmation. The result of the pregnancy test came positive. She was already three(3) weeks pregnant.
You can imagine the smiles on our faces. It's her first pregnancy and it's my first child on the way.
Though we'd not planned for the pregnancy, but we thank God it came and we have to keep it.

As expected, we immediately registered for antenatal. All the appropriate drugs and medication were given her. We went back home very happy.

Feeding?
We never for once skipped the feeding regime and other stuff recommended by our Obstetrician. We followed precept by precept all he told us to do.
I always buy 2 whole sharwa fish (it's the only source of animal protein that she accepted including egg and other fish), leafy vegetables, fruits (96% watermelon, 3% orange, others 1%).
5am she'll wake me up for food during the First Trimester. I cooked fresh food everyday.
I had to sell my cassava which was reserved to pay my rent in July to make sure my woman and the babies did not lack a single nutrient and a proper antenatal care.
I prepared whatever she wants to eat except junks.

Her Weird food Combination

Ogbono/Okra soup with bread. A times with rice. E shock me o

Cooking?
I do 95% of the cooking.
I have all the time to cook. The company I was working was owing us since November, 2021, same company was liquidated late January, 2022 and we were ask to stay at home by March by the liquidators due to financial constraint.
As you can see, I have all the time to cook.
She eats well prepared balanced diet everyday. I only allow her eat junks (Ice cream, sweet, biscuits) twice in a month.

A viable gestation
Fast forward to our next appointment, already Seven (7) weeks old pregnancy. Routine Ultrasound Scan was carried out. A viable result says the UT scan.

News of Twin Gestation
Something happened on the next routine UT scan. It's already eleven (11) weeks old pregnancy. It's a twin gestation says the diagnostic medical sonographer. It was double joy and blessing. We were more happy. We went home joyful.
We had planned to give birth to only 3 children. This one and one more in 6 years time. She's in her mid 20s and I'm in my mid 30s.

News of Twin Boys
Another banger was the 18th week of pregnancy when we went for Anatomy Fetal scan. This scan was able to tell us the sex of the foetus if we so desire to know. After the scan we were told that everything (Fetal Anatomy) is perfect. But for the sex, he said, both are males. My fiancee was very happy, though I was happy but I still prefer female child anyday, anytime as my first child.
So, my fiancee is carrying twin boys. We did not for once derailed from the laid down 'do and don't' by our Obstetrician.

News of Threatened Abortion
Another thing happened in the 22nd week of pregnancy. On and off cramps around the abdomen. We visited our Obstetrician. We later had to go for UT scan. After the scan, we returned to see our Obstetrician. To our surprised, he told us it's 'Threatened Abortion'. He gave us medication. The cramps stopped midway into the mediation and until after the medications.

Vaginal Bleeding
It was sorry, tears and blood on the 26th week of pregnancy. Around 1am my fiancee noticed bleeding. Up to 20ml of blood. Though the bleeding stopped immediately. First thing 7am, same day, we visited our Obstetrician to complain. After series of UT scan, blood and urine tests, we were given medications.
Next day almost same time when the previous bleeding started, the bleeding started again. This time it'd not stop. I hurriedly rushed out to my neighbour in the next flat. We immediately took my fiancee to the hospital. The bleeding later stopped in the hospital. Our Obstetrician, later in the day refered us to a Teaching Hospital.

At the Teaching Hospital
At the Teaching Hospital, after series of tests and UT scan, no fault was detected. My fiancee bled several times there. The bleeding was on and off. Babies were kicking normal, Packed Cell Volume (PCV) was normal, the cervix was closed and no pains of any kind, just bleeding. Then what was wrong? Medications and treatment did not totally stopped the bleeding. Six (6) days in the hospital no improvement. Now the pregnancy was 27 weeks old.

I went to get some supplies for my fiancee, I entered the Labour Ward where she had been all these while, but she was not there. I was told she had been taken to the Gynaecology Theater for emergency C-section. Our 27 weeks old twin boys were brought out, bathed (they were crying), clothed and transferred to incubators.
We, the hospital management and staff tried our best to make everything successful.
It was unfortunate that our twin boys died the next day but we were fortunate that my fiancee is fine.
Dear readers, during my time in the hospital, I saw women go through pains and agony to bring new souls into this world. My experience in the hospital elevated my respect, adoration and love for mothers.

I was drained emotionally and financially. I spent a a little above #500,000. Her dad was very supportive. My buddies too. I only burrowed about 150k.
I'd not hesitate to reach out to my landlord to give more time to pay my rent. God bless my landlord. He knows I've never defaulted. He understands the situation.
The company I worked are still owing as the expatriates (Indians) have all left the country.

God bless all mothers worldwide.
I cherish you all

Thank you all for reading.
God bless you all.

Surrogacy straightforward abeg

Bro, I talk more than this. I can't even withstand spitting especially from pregnant women.
But I'm the one that often bring bucket for her to keep beside the bed so she won't have to always walk to spit.
If you love anybody, you would withstand so many things from them.
I enjoyed everything I did if not that the end was sad

decatalyst:

Help will locate you and all will be well.

Amen. Thank you

Dollarsea:
So sad man, sorry for your loss.

Shawa goes for 1100 for 1kg here in Ogun state

It'll be difficult to believe

I was surprised to see fish of #700 bought yesterday by a nairalander yesterday.
https://www.nairaland.com/7133328/please-see-700-naira-fish

This is the one I bought for #600 this morning along Iwo road. Each goes for #300 for sharwa fish anywhere in Ibadan except the fish seller is greedy and the buyer does not know what's up.

How much is it in you area?

Pls mod move to front page so everybody can see that it's not too worst in every part of Nigeria.

Mariangeles:
If na shawa fish, e no reach N700 naa?
N700 reach buy 2 big shawa fish for Lagos.

In Ibadan each cost #300...
With good bargain, you'll buy 4 for #1,100

I read about Abobaku in Yoruba land
What if he runs away?
What is/are the implication(s)

I'm just curious to know

northbird:
Boss I sent you a pm on nairaland, please check it. my mail is dayotoba1@gmail.com.

Check your mail

emmanuelbrown26:
What's your location?
How long did it take d cassava to grow?

Ibadan. 10 months

emmanuelbrown26:
How many times in a year can u harvest?

Once

northbird:
Oh ok. Good. Can I contact you. sent you a pm.

Yes, you can contact me

northbird:
@ arsenic. Good one. I need a timeline.

Which month specifically did you plant? I assume you harvested in March when you made this post.

I planted May, 2021

Mikelarteta:
Bro is it more profitable if you produce the garri yourself or what do you think. How many 50kg of Garry you think you can get from 1acre of cassava farm? I have 6 acres ready for harvest but am considering processing myself even though people are saying I should sell the raw cassava.

I thought it was best for me to sell my Cassava unprocessed

Princeadebayo11:
Sorry for the disturbance, you bought the land or it was leased to you?

It was leased. 8k/Acre

Princeadebayo11:
My problem is farmland... Did you use tractor for the cultivation of the land or manual

Everything was done manually

I sold it unprocessed

The leftover cassava after the 2 loads.

I currently work in a Multinational Aquaculture Company. I have a Master's of Aquaculture and Fisheries Management Degree.
I've worked in pig, poultry, goat and fish farm (my actual specialization). So, I decided to try crop farming.
I invested in an acre of farmland 10 months ago, planted cassava.
I just harvested my cassava and I got 2 loads (Cabster) of cassava and some leftover.
A Cabster cost 140k (Ibadan). That's 280k for the 2 loads. Sold the leftover for 24k. My total income is 304k.
I invested approximately 100k in the farm. The Cabster driver charged me 32k.
Total expenses is 132k
Profit = Income - Expenses
Profit = 304k - 132k
Profit = 172k

I'm reinvesting my profit on 5 acres of farmland.

Note: I Love farming. I love any field work. Office is a no for me. Highest I can stay in an office is one hour. During my NYSC days, I was pleading with the tutors that came to take us on Agro Allied (SAED) to request for me to work on their farms because I wanted to serve in a farm. I did serve in a farm. NYSC experience is another long story.

Field work is Life

Saks one goal and one assist

Goallll... Watford 1:2 Arsenal
