@ Fhemmy not yet. I've been discouraged.

@labella12 and Aladunni, I was told that my last MC was caused by premature rupture of membrane. Before it ruptured however,the baby was just coming out and I didn't know. That happened at 20 weeks. It was like giving birth without labour pains and suddenly there was water everywhere. That's when I was rushed to the hospital. From all I have read that sounds like incompetent cervix to me. I do understand about confirming first though. I am looking for a good hospital right now because I am in a new town.

@GenBuhari,thanks.

I HATE brown rice.
Doctor's said u should eat brown rice while pregnant so i went out and bought plenty.
(It was pretty expensive).
I made jollof rice. it was so horrible.
I thought maybe it is not meant to be used as jollof rice.
I then boiled it to eat, I could not eat it at all!
I had to throw it away and boil white rice.
I don't care if brown is better than white, i no fit chop am again.
The money i wasted has taught me dat not all dat is healthy is actually to be eaten!

What a passionate response.

Hi people, I need encouragement. I've been doing some research on cerclage and I am scared. Scared about the procedure,about how I might have to bedrest, about not having intercourse after the procedure for the duration of pregnancy I read stuff that is messing my mind and I've started wondering why my own has to be different. Just wanted to share and be encouraged.

On a happy note,no morning sickness

Thanks GenBuhari and Beetle.

@Gen Buhari,about that article,it sounds reasonable,since a woman can only conceive when she ovulates. The only thing that puzzled me was the six or more percent that conceived as a result of intercourse 3 or more days before ovulation. I was under the impression that sperm is alive for only up to 72hrs in the woman's body. The findings seem reasonable.

Thanks Aladunni

Thank you all

@Arlington,beard I won't be taken by surprise this time. Tell people when you are ready. In fact according to my Pastor's wife,the time to tell people is after delivery.

@ Mypeace I did not do anything special,funny enough I was already thinking I'll have to go through another cycle again. My first hint was when it was extra hard for me to skip and do sit ups.

@ Sammy,you! Anyway thank God for the rainy season

@luvly,jenny9,echala,aratoluda,sammy,arly amen to your prayers.

@ moduperola,I understand about being afraid. The thoughts that have run through my mind since I found out Find out why you are having these MCs, and when next you get pregnant pray anytime the devil tries to bring those negative thoughts. It is well.

@ Sammy,the pleasure is mine But with your food log on 1st Aug don't you think you starved yourself? You have to balance otherwise you might end up alternately starving yourself and then bingeing. I speak from experience. Please what is the name of that low fat yogurt you drank?

Er, guys, I'm thinking of bowing out because I can't really exercise for now except walk(modath already guessed it ). I'm taking multivitamins that's making it hard but I'll keep posting just know that I'm not posting to lose weight just to keep healthy. In case you haven't guessed, I'm preggers.

Lol @ blacksta

@ blacksta, if you can get brown sugar,it's much healthier than white sugar.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=487080.msg6477027#msg6477027 date=1280448132]

Cheiiii, I eat rice like crazy mehn.

Replaced white sugar with brown sugar, now my white rice for brown rice? No jose!

Now they'll be telling me that brown spaghetti is better than white spaghetti. or brown bread is better than white bread

Brown is the nastiest food color jor[/quote]Yes brown rice,spaghetti and wheat bread is better than white rice,spaghetti and bread. Brown looks dull and doesn't taste as good but it's healthier. Doh.

Good for you girl!

@ Arly,no vex. I was just trying to put myself in the man's shoes. It's true the pressure is not equal as the woman suffers a lot whether it is from pregnancy o or from not having a child,all is on the woman's head. Abeg, we women are trying.

@ Ebony, I'm liking the look of that example circuit training you posted. Thing is,it usually looks easier on paper than when doing it You can look at this https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-282744.0.html for the strength training I did today. It was kind of like circuit without the cardio. I did 2 sets of each exercise and I feel great!!! I'm tryng to figure out my cardio as walking outside has become boring to me. Time to hit a treadmill again then.

Er, what do you weigh now?

Fhemmy! You want to blow abi? You try it and come and tell your experience.

You ladies are just funny but I agree with GenBuhari. Lol! Funny

@blacksta, the rule of thumb is that anything white is bad. From my research brown rice is healthier than white rice. But as with all healthy stuff it doesn't taste "as good" as the less healthy stuff. I read your other thread in the health section. You can substitute white rice with brown rice but it all boils down to portions. That you are eating brown rice doesn't mean one should eat a large quantity. Portions are important. If you google brown rice you'll find recipes for brown rice and how to cook it

@ Sissy,if you know how I dislike markets ehn you go fear fear I just wanted to know what it is called in the market before venturing there.

@ modath,thanks.

@ Ebonyeyes, thanks. The website is very informative. I do not have dumbbells though. Thing is I like strength training more than cardio but I'll adjust.

@ Fhemmy lie lie. Okay what will I dye the rice with?

I just read online that Nigeria has local brown rice and it is called ofada rice! I will go and look for it.

Missy B:
This is actually the first time I'm hearing of ''Brown Rice''.  . . . .Thanks though.

This is whatchu talking about?

Ewww!!! It's not inviting at all. . . .

It's a healthy option to white rice. Wheat bread doesn't taste that nice either. I guess that's it.

Fhemmmy:
You could buy white rice and die it brown . . .

Unserious man

Blueice4re:
I wounderooooooooo i hav not had of that b4.

Brown rice exists. Google it  if you are wondering. I have seen it in a supermarket but haven't bought it yet. I just want to know if it is sold in local markets under a name that I am not aware of.

Rice that is brown I guess. It's the whole wheat version of white flour. You get?
