Good morning sabi mamas,how body na? Am 6weeks gone,and i can't seem to keep anything down.any thing i eat,i keep vomiting.the only thing that stays is tea,which i take for taking sake.and i do take pregnacare and folic acid.Am so hungry but,afraid to eat.

Good morning Dear, this phase will pass away soon. Keep keeeping on, God is ur strenght.

customised87:
For me,i think u should just eat n drink what u r comfortable with. If u cant go more than 1 cup per day,drink it n take fruits that contain water too. When i was in my first trimester,i couldnt tolerate water too, in sharp contrast to my third trimester wre i can take 10 cups of water in 1hr. I ll advice that u take each day as it comes cos it actually keeps getting better!

Thank you for the kind advise, wish to be like u (10 cups in a hour!!!)....cool. Congrats on ur LO! God will provide all u need to take care of the lil prince charming.

@aghaibiam,
So sorry about ur loss dearie, God will suprise you soonest beyound your wildest dreams. Amen.

Kimoni:
Lol...Better to be safe actually. Soak all the garri you want mama but biko, try and balance it with some good protein. Baby needs a balanced diet from you o

Lol.... Will do!

@CutieR,
That is an old wives tale na....I even thought there is a scientific finding about cassava causing dandruff cos I don google tire.

Pele o! I don give u google assisgnment. I just tout since 2 people testified, it must be true. Now I know beta. Pele.

My dear this was one of the thread in the family section, I was there & even shared my own experience too. The op was just sharing her own personal experience and not a norm. I remembered in previous pretty I drank garri so much with cold water & groundnut and it didn't give my baby dandruff, the only thing I observed now is that my baby also likes taking garri now & I'm like; was it because I took a lot of garri while preggy,lol. So I don't think it's wat's obtainable in most cases

My dear, you know ftp. Person go try do everything wey them tell am, so far na for the well being of the LO. Gud to know I can fully resume my garri soaking.

aghaibiam:
Hello momma's 'm at the scan waiting room to confirm if i have a blighted ovum or my baby was too small to see.I am full of hope especially after cutiereborn's testimony.I love God and He know's what's best for me.

My Dear, it is well with you and you shall testify to his Glory, Amen!

modath:
I live in abuja too, and ALL the hospitals here, both govt and private will tell you if you ask them, there is room for error though.

@CutieR,
I'm hearing about the garri and dandruff connection for the first time,can u link the page so I can learn something new? Dandruff I believe is shedding of dead skin cells in the scalp or flaking of a dry scalp.
Garri got me through the rough Wk 5-12.

Share Your [pregnancy] Cravings Stories/Experiences - Family (3) - Nairaland page 3. I guess I must have mixed up the thread. U can check it out there

My mum always share the story of how she always had severe cravings to drink garri when she conceived me, irrespective of what she cooked.

A neighbour noticed and told her it was gonna cause dandruff on the baby's scalp. She ignored it and went on drinking garri

She said 3weeks after I was born, while bathing me, she discovered a plethora of dandruff on my scalp

Fast forward till now, I have battled with dandruff like someone trying to treat cancer, yet not much result.

Moral : you will have cravings during pregnancy, but watch it, 'cause they may have adverse effect on you and your baby.

Could that be the reason for my dandruff? i have tried all forms of treatment and it just doesnt go, i remember mum telling me she drank garri and ice block like kilode while she was pregnant...

It happened to me too, I couldn't take warm or room temperature water but only very cold water. I think cucumber is veg & ok, eat it if u tolerate it

Thank you, I will continue with the Cucumber.

vickilafab:
welcome on board dear. great testimony! we shall read ur birth story in due time in Jesus name, amen. ds my 1st of hearing abt garri causin dandruff o.. me I av alwys looooved drinkin gari o wt milk n groundnut sef & my LO doesnt av dandruff apart frm d initial cradle cap few weeks or so after birth bt went within days. cucumber is really good. I ate it most days as part of my breakfast while preggy. happy 9 mnths!


beedam whr art thou o? stil waiting for ur birth story o..

Amen to that beautiful prayer of urs! Thank you for confirming that cucumber is ok, will continue with it.

euphorbia:
Really,m hearing about the dandruff thing for the first time.but then,I put like a tea spoon of garri inside a cup of water.just to give the water taste when m tired of diff nutri c flavours.as for the cucumber,I only eat it with suya but during that period,I hated d smell of suya talkless of eating.let's google it

My dear, about the dandruff thing, I read it on this thread in the ealier pages.
But I get what u mean by changing the taste of the water with different flavours, will try it out.

euphorbia:
Just try but u ll soon pass that stage.try d watermelon.u might just like it (even though u don't lik it on a normal day).u can put in d fridge be4 eating.I remember when I was in that stage,I add nutric ,ribena(small quantity) and garri to my cold water.just to change the water taste.

Garri as per soaking garri? One of my fav but I read somewhere on this thread that it will give ur LO permanent dandruff, so I have reduced my intake drastically. Will still follow ur advice about trying the water melon though I have never been a fan of it.
Also, no one has confirmed if Cucumber is good for the LO or not. I really am much more comfortable munching on my gud old cucumber.

phunmielomo:
cutiereborn shared your testimony with someone now.love your level of faith.Welcome to this thread.feel free to share anything with us.May u carry to term and find your delivery easy IJN.

Amen, my sister. We shall all carry to term. We just need to be steadfast in prayer!

pjthatcher:
fuman sorry

I tout as much

proudmom38:
funman is very gud it has no sugar at all just pure fruits,u can try it.

Will do dear, Thanks.

pjthatcher:
you could also take fruit juice that is Lowe in sugar and has more of natural content like gunman or Ceres this two has no sugar and completely natural.

Thank you so much dear, I will try it. Is it gunman or "funman" I have never heard of gunman but I am aware of ceres.

Keji3:
Try cold water, it doesn't have effect on u or the baby. I can't. Tolerate room temp water till now and even my water has to be well blocked ice laced with nutric to be able to tolerate it. Try and get as many water into ur system u need it at dis time. Congrats mama

My sister, its the cold water i am trying to increase my intake. Thank you.

proudmom38:
My dear u need alot of water now dan before,remember u re not drinking 4u alone but 4d baby also.If u can't take it like dat u can add nutri-c jst 2 make it tasty 4u,d weather is hot n u need 2 stay hydrated. I took nothing less dan 9 bottle water in a day!

I really wish I could, but will still be trying. U r very right about drinking for 2!

Good afternoon Mamas in the pushing ministry, please for people like us who on a normal day don't take enough water not to talk of now that water tastes like medicine in my mouth and I have never been a fan of water melon, please is CUCUMBER safe to take?
That seems like the only water fruit that I enjoy taking. Also is there a way to increase my water intake? Since my doctor mentioned it again on my last visit yesterday. For now, I manage to take atleast a glass of chilled water in a day, warm water or roomtemp is a complete nono.

Happy Birthday @Herzumpter,
Cheers to more beautiful years ahead.

aghaibiam:

Yes o! You will have goodnews. God that gave us this Gift gave it to us Richly and without any sorrow added.

@kimoni, @imurboss, @ahamnim, @modath, @proudmum, @ifefunmi,@all, thank you all for the warm welcome & prayers!
May we all carry to term and put to birth safely thru Christ who strenghtens us!

euphorbia:
Testimony permanent by God's grace

Thank you so much, God is Great & Greatly to be priased!
Amen to this permanent Testimony of God!

I rushed off to the hospital to see my doctor & she congratulated me and said should keep taking my folic acid and fesolate (iron meds).
She advised that if I was feeling ok, I can wait till 15wks to register for ANC, which I agreed to cos, God has been great to me!
Since this pregancy started, only cramps once in a while and maybe tasteless tonuge, but no sign of Mornining Sickness which was why the devil wanted to put fear in me if I was still carrying a child or not.
But God has proved Himself faithful despite my unfaithfulness which is why I can proudly say #TeamSeptember!!!
God is Awesome and should always be priased cos he alone is worthy!

Then came the hour of recokning, all thru today I have been busy muttering under my breath- God's gift maketh Rich and addeth no sorrows, I can do all things thru Christ who strenghtens me"
So I lay down and the test begun, but I just shut my eyes refusing to look at the monitor. A whole muintue must have gone before I opened my eyes and stared at the monitor. I saw smthg inside the sac ( as I hv gotten accustomed to wat a sac was) but didn't say anythg until the lady( another lady) said, "Madam ur baby is alive & fine, can hear the heartbeat"!!!
I was over joyed and asked her if she was sure and nnarrated to her my history since last 2wks scan. She smiled and said my baby was alive and healthy!
I kept on saying Thank you Jesus & only paused to call hubby & share the great news!
