@Eja,
How both of una dey or is it three of una!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Nah just 2,was hoping for 3 but the scan was quite clear. I saw just one head I'm fine thanks although I'm an inch away from being ordered to bed rest

@Eja-
Pls check the Nutri-C to see if it has any artificial sweeteners. These are much worse than sugars,as they are known to cause a host of health problems inc cancers fertility issue, gastric discomfort, etc. If you have to, you are better off taking a sweet drink containing sugars, than one containing artificial sweeteners (sucralose, splenda, aspartame, acesulfame-k, etc).
Regarding the malt, it wont hurt if once in a while. The question is - can you keep it to "once in a while"?

Nutri-C instant orange flavoured drink has its ingredients as follows : sugar,citric acid,sodium citrate,sodium carboxymethyl cellulose,natural flavor, yellow FCF CI 15985, tartrazine CI 19140, vitamins and minerals (A, B2, B3, B6, folic acid, C, E, calcium,phosphorus), and aspartame.

Hmm I just noted that aspartame is an artificial sweetener,hmm. That's really sad.

Goodness!!

Lol! I will kiss the baby for you when I can bend that far. I ended up eating fist sized eba and ogbono soup with dry fish and pomo. My last meal before dinner was at 2:30pm so I was hungry. I was merely salivating at stuff you wrote.

@Eja -

Malt drinks do not contain caffeine - at least not the popular brands Nigerians consume. But they do, however, contain a lot of sugar, and i mean a lot.
If you can, stay away from them. You are better off drinking plain water. If in any doubt about what a product contains, always read the label.

Sigh! I drink a lot of water but once in a while my tummy just rejects it and I thought amstel malt was a healthy option of malt. I just got myself a pack of nutri-c (a vitamin C powder drink). That has less sugar and I take it very diluted. Better?

Romeo4real:
@Eja -

Hope you are keeping yourself well hydrated, and taking Folic Acid (400ug), Zinc, Vitamin C, E, and general multivitamins?

Anyone know where Sammy is??

Yes I am keeping myself hydrated except for today when I had to get to the hospital. Dehydration isn't good at all. I am getting all my vitamins from a multivitamin prescribed to me by my ob/gyn. Thanks for asking.

I've gained 4kg,sigh!

itiade:
@Ejadamen: yes pls, am here. I come in everyday to catch up on recent happenings.

Hi, was at the hospital today so I got most of my questions answered. I had wanted to ask if while you had the cerclage in,you ever felt that your babies were about to drop out while standing though I was assured it's just psychological fear. Also were you ever placed on bed rest?


@ all,this sounds funny but what does AF mean? I saw my baby today on scan he/she was busy bouncing around

Lol!!!! I actually tried to eat just 3 times yesterday. It wasn't funny as I was so hungry and in pain when I would finally eat,not to talk of not seeing well again. I gave up,you're right it's uncontrollable. I'm investing in vegetables next week.

B on waking - 2 bananas
B at 9:30am - 3 rolls of white bread with strawberry jam and a mug of lipton tea with 2 tbsps whole milk,no sugar
L - 3 servings jollof rice,1 small wrap moinmoin and a pc of dry fish

Water - approx 2L

If I sleep before 10pm then I won't drink the amstel malt I have cooling in my fridge. See why I've been too embarrassed to log in

Welcome Goom!

Sending SOS to Itiade,are you still here? I have a question for you.

Romeo,do malt drinks contain caffeine? I read the nutritional info and didn't see caffeine but I want to be sure.

modath:
@General house,
Where is everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Or busy forgetting they were once dieting

@ uche13, nice topic but trust that some males will come and start insulting ladies over the matter. I don't know if it'll be worth sincere ladies baring their hearts only to receive nonsense talk. But it would be an interesting thread.

@Arlington sorry o!It's not funny. For me it's headaches and back pain. I think people are just cooling their heels till some really great news pops up on this thread.

Like where is pslm23?

@ Modath, fine o!

Hi all,I had a nasty experience with red oil(reading modath's entry reminded me) last week. Eating beans was beginning to give me heart burn so I decided to make ewa agoin. Don't like much oil so I used a little only for my hubby to say it's not like that so I added more oil. Chai! The beans was sweet so I ate it then made another beans stew to eat with yam and more beans. By saturday I was in pain with heartburn and a serious distaste for red oil. How do people who eat stuff swimming in oil manage? I'm going back to my oil stingy ways. Much healthier. Milk and I had quarrels until I changed back to whole milk,now we're cool as long as I don't drink it alone. I'm still going without sugar Will get weighed at my next hospital visit to know how much I've added



Er,why did Romeo and Aladunni crack up over my response to omomamae

OMOMAMAE:
