it is well my able captain, just do another malaria test as u go for ur anc, and hope u are using mosquito net? By his grace we have few weeks to go, it must surely end in praise

I did oo..tested positive to malaria. I don't use mosquito net....heat doesn't let me sleep in it. Hoping these weeks run faster. It will end in praise for us all ooo!!!

babythug:

Because DH does not want me to be taking tea, he says it will make the baby big, I cried this morning because he adviced me against taking tea, but he made up by buying me Genesis special rice and fish. The kind tea and fry yam wey hungry me this morning eh..
@ iyebetajos, am also 32 weeks, but your bump look bigger sha...

Your husband wan do you better ooo...the bigger the baby ,the more strength you will need during Labour to push ooo and it also translates to more pain oo

Sorry dear. For the heartburn, i guess you already know you can take antacids, either gelusil or some others. For the cough, i really don't have any info on that to help. Let me see cc other mamas who might have an answer.

Most cough syrups I know contain sleeping agents which may not b safe for a pregnant woman. That's why I didn't reply cosI don't know a really safe brand.

@maureensylvia, it seems most men are like that generally. I met with a maisuya guy that has been in my area for over ten years and asked him to look for someone i can open a mai shai joint for, i also asked another maishai guy how much will be needed for d business he said 50k but ive budgeted 60k. the maisahi guy will serve me for 6months paand remitting 9k weekly until our agreement expires.. hope this helps you all mamas. 9k weekly for 6months will fetch u over 200k. goodluck

Dear mothers PLS DO NOT QUOTE WILL DELETE SOON

pls all mamas bikonu

One thing I don realise for marriage be say, sometimes we need to learn to apply sense with our DH so as to avoid some confrontations. I was in a somewhat similar situation tho slightly different. I wilk tell you what i did but first of all, try and sit him down and dialogue. Nothing beats being able to get to an understanding through open communication! Explain to him how costly food stuffs are now. Write out things in paper for him to see if need be. While talking, you can cry sef (if he is the type that your emotions move him) .
Here was my case: I asked for money to be given to me for food in the house at the month begining so I don't have to ask for food money everytime I need to cook. DH gave me an amount that didn't take us for 3weeks and then turned around to blame me that I was outrageous in the spending, that was why the money finished. .. this thing pained me erh. So I realised that method will not work for me at least for now. So I decided to be writing list of food stuffs and provisions that we need at the end or beginning of the month and give him to buy by himself. I wrote quantity that will take us for 1month. Things like rice( half bag), beans(25cups depending on how often you eat it) ,carton of indomie, packet of assorted maggi and salt etc. He does the buying himself. ...sometimes he will complain of how much money he spent to buy those things, I will act like I have not heard him. Then each time I want to cook soup, I have to ask for money. I first of all do the costing of the soup items on my own. I write out the list of all I will need and their real prices. I then write a second list of those items with an inflated prices . For e.g, i may know that 2kilos of meat will be enough for the food, but in the inflated list, I write 3kilos. So I will have the extra money on top for myself. By the time I add, Small small amounts lik that all round, I will have a little money to save and buy personal things. I then ask for the money in the second list. I keep that list handy ooo so that in case he asks to know what and what I want to buy, I will show him that list . That method is working for me now.
For the clothes issue, I deliberately stay away from some functions he would have really loved me to attend with him(church, weddings) When he ask will you be coming, I will say no ooo that I don't have what to wear, that I have outgrown my clothes . If he doubts, i will wear those clothes for him to see. . I will really put my mind and prepare him on time so he can go on time. When I do this ( especially for church ) he will feel guilty.

P.s Try to find out his monthly earnings. Is he a salary earner or a business man?? It can be difficult to know for a business man except he comes out plain to tell you. For a salary earner, credit alerts will help you. Try to request for YOUR Personal money for monthly upkeep of yourself. ... so you can be saving that one and buy yourself clothes...
Even if you start business or your are working, don't make that mistake of wanting to takeup all the bills in your house ooo especially when he still has something doing o ooo. He will just abandon everything to you. One-day, you go tire. You should only support. ...like he brings 70percent and you add 30percent, or 60-40 percent or even 80-20percent. Use your head well a. If he can spend outside, he should spend inside too .
My epistle long sha....just find your way around him.
May God be with your marriage! !

Haleematm:
wonderful mamas how d pushing ministry dey go. pls i want to ask should d constancy of our babies kick increase as we progress or should it reduce? v learnt so much from this family including d #carrot stew# pls how is our captain doing? deputy thnx for d taking the calll
team sept for supernatural delivery.

Btw 5-7months, there is a lot of space in the womb so babies have a big play ground in the womb if you want to call it so. So most mothers feel alot of kicks and punches during that period. As the pregnancy progresses and baby becomes bigger, they consume more space, so they have little play ground but they still play no matter what if all is well. The kicks mayb slightly more painful as you are closer to due date...
From 34weeks or so (other mamas will confirm this date) if you cannot count 10kicks in 2hours, something May be wrong, so one may need to visit the hospital to rule out any problem.

Oh boy! These mothers can talk for Africa!!!! Ewoooooo! More than 15pages in less than 48 hours ? I trowey cap for all of you!!! Plenty plenty sweet gist wey I miss....Subscription expired on Friday midnight....I refused to subscribe on Saturday because I wouldn't be able to exhaust the call bonus I will be given by Sunday midnight and by Monday,they take their bonus ....so wanted to chill and subscribe by Monday so i have more days to use the bonus before weekend. .

Cos I love beans so much and plantain at the sametime I don't wnt anytin to affect my baby head!
#teamJune4supernaturalDelivery#

False! False! False!. ...Old women tales. ...one of the healthiest food you can eat in pregnancy is beans and unripe plantain abeg..... Go and eat your thing. Nothing do you or your baby....

Congratulations once again. ...You really prepared for Labour and delivery
God bless Pristine. I would love to read your diary...please share link

Iffffffy:
I deserve to be happy though I'm shattered presently... Why me? Why must it be me?

Brave up Dear! It took strength to take that step! There is never an excuse why a wife should be physically abused by someone who is supposed to protect her!!! I HATE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN MARRIAGE !
YOU are not alone....many women who truly care about their sanity take this step you have taken ! You certainly wouldn't want to have made headlines of having stabbed her husband or her husband killing her like Ronke just did....Sooner or later, who knows if that's how it would have ended!!

It's the same step I would take any day I wake-up and am turned to a punching bag. Let me deal with the memories of the one my Mum suffered until she took this brave step !!

Take care of yourself and your son!!

@ teamie captain britneystacy, abeg wetin do honey during pregnancy o, cos instead of sugar i use honey. In fact I cant remember d last time I ate sugar, iv been using honey both in n out of pregnancy. Pls o, wetin b d risk, cos iv never heard of ny.

www.healthline.com/health/food-safety-pregnancy#Othertips5
Honey contains a bacteria that babies and children under 1year cannot digest. This in turn becomes a toxin for them. It's not safe in pregnancy because what ever you eat is passed to the baby in the womb. I use honey too but since I got pregnant, I abandoned it.
