Yes, funds in your company's account is just to show them your source of funds and it could also complement your ties back home (your business).

regularjoe8080:
Are you for real that one doesn't have to submit only COMPANY’S SOA??

Rystodave:
No I didn't

You should have added it. You are supposed to spend your personal funds in your personal account, not funds from your business account

Rystodave:
I applied for France study visa, had my campus France interview on the 7th August, TLScontact and submitted my application documents on the 14th August 2024. I received a message from TLS to come pick up my passport on the 19th August. Lo and behold, my visa was refused/denied on the reason "There is sufficient evidence and serious grounds to establish that you would stay in France for purposes other than those for which the study visa was requested"

Document submitted are:
3 months SOA of my school where I happen to be the director and sole signatory to the account,

Did you per chance attach your personal bank statement?

Rizzymayor12:
How was it bro still waiting for mine

He was granted

[quote author=Adetoku3 post=130655234][/quote]Yes he has

Adetoku3:
He ought to have gotten a response by now or latest by Friday.

Hopefully today or Monday. Friday is a holiday, I believe.

Adetoku3:
When did your cousin submit his application?

Third week of May. I have forgotten the exact date.

Rizzymayor12:
No I was told 3days my travel date is far gone 😔😔 is it still possible to get the visa ?

The embassy would have given you a call by now, but you can send them an email to know the status of your application. They called my cousin to ask him to move his date further because it was too soon (exactly 15 working days from his submission) and the processing wasn’t done. We are hoping he will get a positive response.

She’s precious. Congratulations mama

Good afternoon and seasons greetings mamas and papas. Been a very long while, all thanks to crazy 2020, decided to drop by and check up on you all

tyhgfrdeswscbhf:
I just dey oooo...had sex through out yesterday still nothing

E b like say we are team thick cervix


It will end in praise

I remembered you earlier this morning, I was going to check on you. Your miracle is on its way, Amen

NextD18:
Lol. Sounds so logical.

I get your point thou and thanks a lot.

Will look more about it.

Okay mama

Prudify25:
I'm loosing mucus plug, what should I do?

As long as it’s not bloody and you’re not bleeding, there’s no cause for alarm. Mucus plug regenerates. Losing bits throughout pregnancy is not abnormal

cinderellashoes:
I don't know where I kept the thermometer and I don't have the doctor's number. But I used Robb and bathed with hot water, the ache has gone. I will go do a malaria test tomorrow in a lab, is that advisable? Thanks for your response.

Yes you could go to a lab but you still need your doc to prescribe the right drug(s) for you, depending on the result. Not all (malaria) drugs are safe for pregnant women

NextD18:
May the peace of the lord be with everyone here and may the pregnant ones deliver safely.

Please I'll need a little explanation to this.



I saw it some minutes ago and decided to bring it here to seek clarifications.

What does it mean for a baby to see through legs or so?

Children between 12months and 18 or 19 months do that a lot. For mamas with children having 12 months- 2 years gap, it coincides with that period making it seem like the tale is true

cinderellashoes:
Hi Mama, is body ache, tiredness and body warmth signs of fever in pregnancy? I have googled it, but I am not shivering. I still have appetite and heartburn. Its just that the tiredness has increased.

Hi mama, You could check your temperature with a thermometer if you have one. If it’s above 37.5, you have a fever.

However, I think you should call your doctor and talk to him cos in my pregnancies, when I had the symptoms you described, my tests confirm malaria...not saying it is or that you should self-medicate, just giving you heads up

Feel better mama

daragoldy:
Hello ma'ams can I use skinheal,shea butter and ampliclox to rub my body because the rashes and acne is so much and irritating a times. coupled with heat. is it safe for me. thanks

No please. Big NO

Mummy4life1:

@35weeksplus

BS will be coming later
@May Cappo: Please take note

Many congrats mama. God be praised

ifeoluwatoyin2:
I ovulated last 2weeks and had baby dance same period

Oooohhhhhh I get. Pregnancy starts counting from the 1st day of your period in the cycle you took in, not when you ovulated

Congrats mama

ifeoluwatoyin2:
Dear mummies in the house..
.I think am two weeks gone and am surprise the strip could see a darker or thick line because my friend told me it should faint line(hardly see) for early pregnancy...

Why do I have thick line on mine Please help

NB: Am FT mum

2 weeks gone from ovulation, when you had sex or from your last period?

The control line is darker cos the pregnancy is still early. That’s how mine looks at 4 weeks plus

Lina2020:
Hi everyone... How does one know how many weeks gone she is without going to the hospital
Please urgent reply

Going by Last Menstrual Period (LMP), the formula is:

1st day of LMP + 7 Days minus 3 months

Say if your period was on the 23rd of January 2020 that would be :

23+7 =30 January
minus 3 months

30 October would be the person’s EDD

Hardeyolaotee:
Good afternoon mommas, my hospital just sent me a text to remind me of my ANC tomorrow and with the lockdown is it possible to even go?

You can definitely go. Hospitals are exempted from the lockdown and if the policemen stop you, you can tell them where you’re headed

Thank you mamas for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed my long boredom-induced story

@jazzyjazz no problems mama, we already did it at National Hospital

A super duper happy new month to us all

MumDiamond:

Congratulations to you once again. May the Lord bless and keep him.

Haha thanks mama. Amen

Crownofwealth:
First time to comment. Have been reading and following up each chat here. I will really say I appreciate you guys on this platform for your decision to share ideas. No doubt I learnt alot about women and the stress they go through just to make the home more happier. Really waited for a long time to share my wife BS with you guys but it couldn't come to pass as my wife underwent an emergency cs and a myomectomy today. it wasn't really easy but in all we thank God for the life of my wife even though we lost our baby. God knows best. wishing all pregnant mum's a safe delivery in Jesus name. Amen

So sorry for your loss. God will make you smile again. Quick recovery to madam

Part 3

I came here to announce the birth of my baby, sent pictures to friends and even received some calls; feeling cool and nice and in control lol

Unknown to me, there was a gang up. One of the nurses came in and replaced my drip and I started feeling funky, asked her what she gave me and she said she added something to help me sleep. I told her she shouldn’t have and I passed out while saying it lol.

Reports from my siblings, backed up with voice recordings the next day suggested that I slept but I wasn’t really asleep. I kept chiming in in their conversation, telling my sister to use qtip to clean baby’s nose and to cover his hands with mitten, even greeted visitors that came that night lol

The next day, I was floating and feeling cool. My sis was a whole lot of help, taking care of baby while I slept like I hadn’t slept in 5 years and husband was joggling work and school run for DD

The next day when I came to, I was eager to move around. I needed the cathether out!! I got off the bed by 2pm on the 4th and even tried breastfeeding because Mr. Baby kept spitting up after every formula feed. I saw that my milk already came in so it was bye-bye formula. Hopefully he doesn’t reject formula at 6 months too

At the end of the day, I was thankful my doctor didn’t listen to me at all. The last time he did and I almost paid with my life, Bp wonderfully shot up to 250 that night and my heart almost stopped. Then after I was discharged, I had bad water retention up to 4 weeks post partum, had drainage from my incision for 6 weeks, my incision was still open on the left side till the 7th week. I had bad panic attack for many months anytime I remembered what I went through. But now, I’m 3 weeks postpartum and I’m feeling like my old self, doing things I used to do though with caution, incision is healed and difficult to detect, vigilante is kinda real but not so bad, feet got swollen 3 days before my CS and it’s already back to normal now, and above all, DD accepted her brother and made this whole mum of two under two thing so easy. She’s always kissing him and wiping imaginary tears off his face with his bib or her hand, always eager to help out, runs to check what’s wrong with him when she hears him crying.

Second time is a charm for me. DD is her dad’s spitting image’, in complexion, same bent nails on same toes and fingers, same mannerisms. My boy has my complexion and some of my features even though he is starting to look like his dad, thanks to his very strong genes. I don’t mind even though e pain me.

God indeed makes all things beautiful in his time and he truly knows what’s best for us. I have never felt more complete and at peace. Now I’m looking forward to when they’re 4 and 2, fighting over toys and the silliest of things and reporting each other to me lol. or much later in life when they’re there for each other, coming through for one another and making me proud

This my boot has been locked in a box, buried and key thrown away into the ocean.

Thank you all for coming on this journey with me.
I hope I didn’t “west” your “thyme”


Stay safe sisters
Happy and healthy bumping to my teamies and other waddling mamas, my prayers are with you at this time
I await the testimonies of all GTC mamas

@Mzleemah ayaf fulfil all righteousness, albeit a very long one.

Part 2

My doc called to ask what happened and I told him not to be angry that I would come in the next day. He rescheduled me for 4pm on the 3rd and told me to come in by 2pm. The night of the 2nd was one of my longest nights. I kept waking and checking to make sure my water hadn’t broken and even started googling labour signs. I wasn’t supposed to go into labour for so many reasons and my doc was trying to avoid that

That’s how on the 3rd, mild contractions started but I don’t even know what happened and I found myself at the hospital by 3:45pm....I’m a very SERIOUS somebody

Before then, I told my sis I wanted to have the baby at night and it’s as though the universe listened lol

Got there, they prepped me, checked vitals, ran tests, set drip etc..we were there and 4pm came, then 5pm then 6pm then 7pm...at this point my other siblings were at the hospital cos they thought baby already came. By this time contractions had gotten serious but I could breathe through it

All of us sha sat in my room, disturbing the whole hospital with our gists and arguments

7:30pm and the anesthesiologist walks in with a nurse to do that their pep talk. My tummy started churning, I wanted to run back home and maybe if possible vomit the baby

My experience after DD’s birth came rushing to me and I didn’t know when I shouted “I’m not ready, can we reschedule?” My doc said nah, “madam, it’s now or never”. Imagine the threat . Everyone told me not to be scared and by 7:50 I was taken into the theatre

Anesthesiologist got to work. DD’s own took 7 tries and I heard him request for a 14” before he successfully injected it. This time around, it took just one try and he was done but I kept moving my legs to be sure the spinal was taking effect and after I got those thunderstrike-like feeling in both legs, I couldn’t move my toes anymore lol

Baby was brought out at exactly 7:58pm and shown to me quickly with the lower body behind the curtain.I saw husband by the ante room of the theatre recording abi snapping through the glass partitioning (I just remembered that I need to ask him for the pictures/video).

I asked the doc if it was really a boy and he said he didn’t know that he didn’t check. The other doctors and nurses concurred with him when I asked them (what gangup!! ) and then my doc told the pediatrician to clean the baby and cover “it” very well before bringing to me. They cleaned the baby up and brought it and I saw it was a boy. They all started laughing cos I was almost freaking out lol

He was/is very fair, looked like my mum lol, with spiky frizzy hair and he was trying to cry. I started laughing cos I was expecting him to be a wailer like his sis. 3 weeks along and he still doesn’t know how to cry. Once he starts crying, I find myself in tears from laughing so much

Anyways, they took him to the room to join my siblings while I got stitched up (and again, I need to ask husband for pictures or whatever it is he was taking at that time). Husband stayed for a while and then left. I continued gisting with the doctors and we were done and I got wheeled to my room.

My doc gave his farewell speech and asked me if I needed help with sleep and stubborn me said no that I wanted to be awake. At this point, I wanted to be awake all night long so I know when I was about dying Silly me.

BS
Part 1

After my dad’s burial, I went for a scan and was told it was a boy. He decided to open his legs that day lol

I started antenatal I think in my 28th week. My doc gave up on complaining about how unserious I was with this pregnancy. I was so lax. I never stayed at a place. I was super active, traveling, visiting friends and family, handling DD and her wahala...something I couldn’t relate with in DD’s pregnancy. Her own showed my shege. Feet swollen from month 6, I could barely walk most days, BP was over the charts, had bad sciatica and pelvic girdle pain, left social media, quit my job, put my business on hold cos living on my living room sofa and eating were all I cared about ...the list is endless

God made this one so easy. BP stayed normal till I got discharged and even post partum.

So I told my doc The day I started antenatal that I wanted a 02/03/2020 baby so we booked for that day but fate had other plans

That day came and I became a chicken

All my fears came back. All the what ifs started running through my head...top on the list was that the spinal epidural doesn’t work and I feel the whole procedure or worse yet, I’m put under general anesthesia. To me this was death in itself, not knowing if I’m dying or living

I decided to go shopping with my sis. She came for omugwo but I refused to bring baby out and took her shopping instead. Went and bought new pots,flasks and frying pans lol. I didn’t even bother about making stew, different types of soups and stockpiling in my freezer like I did the last time. I just wanted to shop for DD, cookware and utensils. Whoever hungry catch, make e use the new pots cook, chop. I was busy and unavailable biko

Pre Bs
Part 3

Only a few people (apart from you guys) knew I was pregnant. I had a very easy pregnancy. I glowed through it. I didn’t have to leave social media, I was still slaying with a full face of makeup back to back and posting on a regular so it was a shock to many when they saw brith announcement lol

I lowkey believed I was going to have a boy cos I always told God I wanted just one girl if I ever had more than one child, a friend told me I was going to have a boy cos they’re the ones that sneak in when you’re not looking, my dad died in my first trimester and everyone said I was going to have a boy. Not like I believe in reincarnation or anything but when I lost my MIL, I took in with DD that weekend then I took in and lost my dad so people who believed kept insinuating and I’m here like, “so I came to this world to be borning dead people”

Then the devil or whoever started sowing seeds of doubt in me. I started feeling death hovering over me. It was so bad I spoke to my lawyer cos I wanted to write my will and give instructions on how I want to be buried and where. He traveled a lot so I forgot about the will but I still gave my siblings the instructions. They chastised me and started praying for/with me. My closest friend who knew what I was going through/feeling also did her fair share of prayers.

One night someone called me to say she saw my mum (God rest her soul) in her dream...long dream but the summary is that she took away something that was supposed to hurt me and then covered me with a purple fabric. She explained what she thought the dream meant and also prayed for me
