Hello team November mamas. I finally have a tiny bump. I have called everyone to come and see whether my tummy is really out.

I'm so excited! Finally on.

I was once like you ....looking for bump Am 27weeks now and the load is heavy already. . Calm down, the bump dey come for road

adebabs21:
Hi beautiful mamas..ayam team december...I will surely pay my dues..egba mi towo tese..i hope I am welcome?

Nne, you are more than welcomed. ...just find your team mates....Stress free pregnancy! !!

laiiila:
Good morning to all the lovely mama's here, so glad to be here! I'm a new mom and I started noticing stretch marks appearing on my tummy, I worry they will stay.

this post shows how good is manuka honey for the skin and collagen http://saudi-iherb..com/2016/04/burn-scars-manuka-experience.html but do you know if it's safe to rub on the skin in pregnancy?!

New mum...welcome! Which team are you o ooo? Please register with us here ooo...
Meanwhile, Honey is NOT safe for eating during pregnancy. .. so I don't think it will be safe for rubbing as the skin will likely absorb it into the blood stream too. For strectch marks, rubbing shea butter(ori) , pure coconut oil(nothing added to the oil ), bio oil (sold in supermarkets ) and Palmers Shea butter cream are things that Mamas here confirm is helping them.....try any of these you can easily lay hands on . Just rub on ur bump....

missade:
Good Afternoon beautiful mamas.
Went for my first antenatal today and we thank God.

Welcome and Happy bumping. ...

mitchyy:
Mamas, pls how do you manage to shave your down below and avoid cutting yourself? I can't see anything down there at all and the hairs are about to form weavon *covers face*

. I use shaving stick .I move the shaving stick with my 6th sense. I stand to shave the front part. I then squat to do the part in btween. While shaving there, I move gently so as to avoid cutting myself. I don't necessarily aim for complete hair removal and I try to shave at least once a week so i don't let it get too bushy . The more hairs there, the more stressful it is cos squating for long with a bump is really tasking! !

Alternatively, you ask DH. Why I avoid asking him is because when he finishes, he will ask for settlement and my libido has gone to Sambisa and has not yet returned .

evamum:
Able/senior Mamas am loyal o, I have humble request/suggestion to make.
Can we share some essential (cant do without) items, tested&trusted brands; necessary for the first months of delivery. I believe it will be of great help to us FTM and those on low budget, Thanks.

#teamAugust Peace&Love

Biko, you people should send some rain here naaaaa .....More than a week now, no rain here. The sun feels someone is competing with it ooo

mamadsquare:
@babythug the tomatoes palava made me visit mile 12 on Sunday o. I went deep into the pepper market and found about 10 to 12pieces of medium sized ones at 400 per portion. Tatashe and Ata rodo still go for normal rates. Onions are still very cheap now but prices will rise as soon as rain begins proper. Same goes for Yam.

That is why Lagos is still better....You can go to the source market and buy for yourself. Those of us in the south south, tomatoes is luxury o ooo.....I cant even find the tatashe and Atarodo in the markets again. Even yam is still not that cheap....It's not easy oo

Peace&Love

Interesting. You are using rainbow lite prenatal, are you based in Nigeria? ? When I got my BFP, it's one brand of prenatals I really wanted to take instead of pregnacare because I read very good reviews about it. I looked for it in all major pharmacies in my town but couldn't find it. Even sent for it in Abuja but I couldn't find it. I saw only Centrum prenatal. Unfortunately, after the first pack finished, I couldn't see it again to buy! Just had to use pregnacare as it was readily available!

Are you a first time Mum ? This one you are team pinkish blue? Are you expecting a twin ?

rofemiguwa:

Vannywealth:
I can't help peeping. I could be online and just sleep off. Dropping comments regularly is a chore. I wish I could be more active.

I received my second Tetanus shot early March.

I've done the first part of my shopping since February. Will complete it either this weekend or next by God's grace. My belly is becoming too heavy. Let me shop and then get by delivery bag ready. No time. August isn't far again. May God see all of us through to the end of this journey. Amen.

At least you are in good condition. Am happy to hear that. ...
Your own better say you don dey shop. Naso my own don dey heavy me. God dey....The August should come fast please. ....I need to hold my baby. I want to be called a mummy so badly

Godmother:
Last night and this morning has not been so funny for me. Been so short of breath and weak. Called my mom and she screamed when she heard I ve not beentaking drugs n ordered me to start asap. Lol. My elder sis suggested eating lots of unripe plantain as a recipe for the shortness of breath. Just hope I get better soonest.

Please go to the clinic where you are registered and complain to Doctor. Let some checks be done on you.....
You will be fine. ..

Present ma, baby is kicking seriously ooo n no longer finding it funny, shey na football pitch ni?, As for d TT injection I was suppose to take d second last week but missed it somehow hoping to go in wednesday, hope d one week interval won't affect me o? (I pray make dem no pursue me ).

For d drugs my able captain n other Sabi mamas, during my first preggy I was given folic acid, bco, calcium n fessolate which I took all tru, but this time around its just folic acid, fessolate n vitamin c, could there b a reason I was given just 3drugs or I should go ahead n buy others?

You can ask your doctor why you are not on calcium. Mine didn't prescribe it at first. It was until I asked.

We should have all taken our 2nd TT shot ooo. In few weeks time, we Will be in 3rd trimester! !! Baby is kicking actively. The feelings are amazing! !!
Am beginning to feel heavy ooo. Wondering how much weight I will be dragging by 30+weeks. My weight at last ANC was 81kg . I used to weigh 63-65 kgbefore pregnancy. ...God dey !
Haven't bought any thing yet.No thanks to DH. He makes light the importance of buying babies things now that I have strength. I no dey talk again....He is ready to be extorted cos when he thinks he is ready ,will just enter one shop and pick everything there !!

Please come in and share your own experience with us. Have you shopped? Let's keep this team active and warm.

Happy new week all Mamas. Safe deliveries to the remaining May mama's!!!! Team May is not dulling at all oooo.....Babies every other day! God bless them all ...BFP announcements to all our TTC sisters!

#TeamAugust. ....the real team!!! Team like no other!

To ALL OUR MAMA'S here oo, those duely registered here and those still peeping, in ghost mode EVEN OUR BELOVED TTC SISTERS who come here once in a while to share with us, PLEASE oo, daily intake of folic acid should be a MUST for all of us ooo....
For those of us already pregnant, it helps to prevent deformation of the spinal cord and other spinal related deformities. Our babies will be formed beautifully with complete toes and fingers positioned where they should be!
For our TTC SISTERS, it enhances conception. Also, most times we don't even know that we are pregnant and a month will pass. Our daily intake of folic acid prevents deformation of that baby during that period we didn't know we have taken in....

Let's US ALL take our daily routine drugs seriously! ! Our target should be not to skip a day if possible! We are happy about the LOs growing in us, let's give them all they need while there to form beautifully! You don't like swallowing drugs, please put in eba or take with juice or a glass of milk! If you usually forget, set a daily alarm as reminder!
Babies born these days are beautiful...thanks to these routine drugs and what their mother's eat during the pregnancy .You no wan make your own carry last oooooo

Team captains, e b like say we go dey include am as reminder during roll calls ooo...
#Healthy babies #Take your routine drugs

Godmother:
Sabi and beautiful mamas, I'm in my 14th week and yet to start my routine drugs. I hate drugs but will take any if only to keep my lo healthy. My doc prescribed folic acid in my earlier weeks for a month. What drugs can I take? Someone suggested Pregnancare Plus, but just incase I decide to go the other way what other drug combination can I take?

Also, sometimes I find it a bit diff to breath properly and have to take large gulps of breath. This happens mostly when I'm lying down, esp on my back. Should I be worried?
ill

Have you started ANC? What drugs were you given there? You can take those ones....
Routine drugs in pregnancy should include folic acid 5mg, Iron, vitamin c, vitamin b 12, calcium...
Pregnacare plus contains all that but is a bit pricey.So you can stick to what you were given at antenatal.

Your pregnancy is progressing, please avoid lying on your back. Lie on your side's, Left side preferably while you change to the right briefly when you are tired on your left.

You should be team November if am not mistaken! !! Please come here more often and learn from your team mates ooo

Mummy, you deserve some e-flogging on your bum bum oo : . You mean from day 1 of conception to more than 3months, you haven't taken any tablet containing folic acid? Mummy, you are not kind to that baby at all. The first 3months of conception ARE very critical in a baby 's formation. What you take at that stage determines how your baby will look cos major organs are formed during that stage!! BUT you have been reading from us here na.....we talk about drugs here not just malaria or TT. We don't take those drugs for fun o ooo, most of us dont even like drugs! We take it for our babies sake! We don't want them coming out with deformed ears, spinal cord, etc.
You need to apologise to that baby o ooo......
Please start your drugs immediately with daily prayers that you have not harmed that bundle of joy in you already! !!!

uglyBetty1:
Good evening all,
Please can somebody help me torch light this issue. I have been having pains in my left ankle, though until I press it, dt is when I feel it. I told the DR d day I went for ANC, and he said I shld do U/S to check if there was any problem. After the scan, he reviewed and just said that baby sex can't be seen, he didn't tell me anything again.

I left the hospital, but yesterday being Friday, my colleague was looking at my leg and asking me what happened that it looked slightly swollen,thou she didn't know I was pregnant and I became alarmed.


Please help ooooo. Thank you.

Is it only one leg that is swollen? Sometimes swollen feet in pregnancy may not be out of place as long as your b.p is ok and there is no protein in your urine! If those things are ok, then just increase your water intake, Reduce your salt consumption and be raising your legs as often as possible.
I had swollen feet too in my 15weeks to 18 or 19 weeks. But it has disappeared now . It only comes when I stand for long hours kind of. I sleep with my legs raised on pillows. And when sitting down for long like in the parlour, I raise my legs on some stool or so.

famfortune:
Hmm Good day mamas
I'm one of the mama's here but I decided to open another moniker. Pls advice me
.

I go with what other mamas have said earlier. If he says he needs you by his side, then don't go. You can go to mum's place and pick food stuffs for you people to eat or she sends cash.
Since you are literate, pick your daughter's text books and teach her using that.
Do you have a refrigerator? Is where you are living a place you can sell pure water? For every bag of pure water you sell, you make 100percent profit.
Does your husband have siblings, can the contribute money for the injection and hospital bill? Please change to a government hospital for your ANC and delivery if you have not done that...

Your husband must be a very Godly man! God bless his earnest desire to earn an honest income just to support his family! !!
