Kikikikikiki @hajarahbadmus I wish I could do all this really, even with all the acclaimed 'benefits' they say sex comes with during the 3rd trimester, I still can't deal! sincerely, I am now 'Libidoless' I sometimes pity dh, but I can not come and kee myself na, the sanctuary is dry! I wonder what would happen if I put to bed. Chai!

Lmao at the sanctuary is dry
I can relate sha
Will get better after childbirth

Goldmine are you going to consider contraceptive? Just curious

Fvine I wish you fast conception in Jesus name

I also battled pcos and overcame with 2000mg of metformin

Well done henmaris. We are cheering you on

Chiwendym you can start by eating clean first Nd see how many kgs you will lose. If you follow a simple timetable of eating healthy I'm sure you will drop some

Don't know why you all are running away from exercise. Exercise is not as hard not boring as you think. Why not start with something as basic as skipping and then over time increase the intensity and add other routine

ozycy:
My dear I don reach here ooo, you won't believe what I was searching for using the search bar that landed me here lol.
Baby Sophie isn't up to 6 months yet.
I can just be hungry anyhow these days so I was thinking if I stop EBF, the hunger and eating will reduce. Will gradually start with your tips thanks. I hope I can reduce weight.
I also need special exercise for hand cos my arm is like "Christian mother hand"

Ha! What where you searching for?
eBF makes people hungry and also being awake at odd times of the night to nurse may mean eating at those odd times of the night.

With my first i dint lose any weight till I weaned

For your hands buy Dumbbells and use them for exercising. skipping and exercising with the elliptical also helps the arms

Iyabetajos:
hmmn my bp yday was 138/90 bt d doc in dis hosp insisted on admitting me.may our joy nt b cut short in jesus name maam

Amen
It's well with you dear

seunkeji5:
Pls ma what is the name of the lubricant you use

Can't remember the name of the one I bought but ky jelly is pretty popular

olubankemi:
That's pretty early oo.

But as regards having people around to avoid depression, my hubby doesn't like full house. Infact he's the reason why we are both alone. Now that am looking for house help he is giving so many unmentionable excuses which me I know it's to make me forget househelp.

He even said he prefer to hire a nurse who will come bath baby and go after bathing. He doesn't want families around. How will I cope now? If at all he want he is being selective, and those he want are busy people.

When my aunt was around to help out in my early preggy days, he would always look for something to complain about. Atimes he will ask who cook the food, when am supposed to be on bed rest oo.

Jesu jowo romilowo oooo.

Amen o
But dont worry, the people don't have to live with you for you to be 'surrounded'.

And you may not even have post partum depression. It doesn't happen to everyone

P.s 5/6 weeks is not early o! Most dr's advice 6 weeks

Timeframe 5 weeks post partum for my first

6 wks for my second

kaffy4bill:
I have been

Oya ooo,pls what has ur experience been like so far?
Thanks in advance

Hmm for me

Libido is at the lowest / non existent when I'm pregnant.
I just do it for doing sake - max twice a month.
After my first baby that weighed 3.61kg with tears ( tho they healed pretty fast)
I worried about resuming 'duty' but with the help of a lubricant it went ok tho the first two times were wierd.
But as soon as the baby started sleeping well and I had help it became so good, even better than before. Averaging 5 times a week and the result I took in almost immediately

Now I have two kids under two. It's harder. Now that we are getting into a routine and baby is sleeping better; my libido is rising

Also Post partum depression is real.
Iv suffered it with my two children. It also contributes to low libido

Chai this my epistle long o

In summary after child birth every woman should
1. Surround herself with family
2. Get / accept help (in any shape and form)
3. Get a lubricant ( at least for the first 2/3 times)
4. Be patient with the process. The libido won't go straight to 100; it will build up

For men reading this
1. Help your wives with house chores or carrying; Playing with / feeding the baby
2. Compliment her: even though her tummy hasn't gone completely flat, tell her she is beautiful; stretch mark and all
3. Take your time with fore play
4. Be sensitive to her moods: if baby had cried all day and she has had a stressful day, sex is the last thing on her mind. Just cuddle her
5. Be patient with the process too

Tbaby4real:
Oh thanks...... My problem is the exercise thing. I'm always with my baby 24/7 and always use her nap time to study. I only take her out for an hour walk everyday but will try more anyway thanks. Another thing is my menstration is not yet back after 14months of childbirth.

Mine dint come back till I weaned fully at 11 months

Maybe yours will come when u wean fully

ozycy:

Fvine:
Wowza! Congrats to you and your hubby. Nice meal but hoping that the Vegetables is the bulk of it and not the potatoes. Please feed him Low Carb intact very low carb so that he continues losing in addition to what he has lost on the Egg Fast. You can even try out the sample Menus I posted in earlier pages. They contain 9ja meals with portion control and works well for weight loss. Abeg keep updating us & inspiring.

Thanks. Sweet potato is very good for weight loss

Seun:
can I see the link in question?

Wow Seun on this thread let's roll out the red carpet

Tbaby4real:
Hello sisters, I sure need to start working on myself. I'm 79.5kg now and still breastfeeding 14month old baby but will like to start trying for #2. My aim is my pre pregnancy weight which is 67. Do I have to stop breastfeeding first or can I start while breastfeeding. I would like to breastfeed her till she's 2. I don't mind breastfeeding while pregnant with #2. What do you all think?

tbaby good to see you here

breastfeeding when pregnant is ok. you odnt have to stop when you get pregnant. as for the egg fast, pls check the previous page

how is our princess doing?

My husband reported a 4.5kg weight loss as at this morning

I packed sweet potato and steamed ugwu for him his morning.

Egg fest over

wow, nice14...so sorry for your loss. may God comfort and replenish in multiple folds

pls be strong at least for the sake of your boy

Fvine:
His weight loss is Eggcellent! He'll sure lose more on the Meat and Ugu Vegetables. You can vary his meals by cooking his meat as Peppersoup, also adding Titus Fish and "Green" Vegetables (Spinach) very yummy. It's also low calorie too. Just boil the Fish and add to the Vegetables while steaming. I do get him on being tired of eggs. I also get tired too, the only thing that keeps me is looking at my end goal and preparing the Eggs in a different way. My 3rd Egg fast last year, I could only eat eggs by adding them to my Coffee and that's what I did all through. At least he has experienced it and can always employ the Egg Fast if and when needed. Well done too, you're doing great by being his pillar.

Thanks dear. You are amazing

He weighed himself this morning and has lost 2kg in two days but he said he can't continue after today cuz he is irritated by the eggs already

So by tomorrow we will transition into steamed ugwu and meat for two days then see where that takes us to by the weekend

@chom4shizzle he does weight lifting and aerobics as part of his daily weekday routine. I fed him half yolk

sodiamond:
Ported to march. BBG to the Glory of God weighing 4.9kg VB. It can only be God

Wow that's a big baby

Big fat congratulations

So proud of the hubby
We went for a colleague of his send forth today at an upscale restaurant

He don't eat or drink anything while I smacked on a very delicious platter of snails, prawns and chicken wing with a very nice cocktail

Now that's willpower
Just made his 6 eggs dinner. In out of a whole crate already

When this is over doubt I will look at egg the same way again

nefertitiram:
Mine was 10.3 pounds, I didnt even bother to push

Wow

TheLeakyTribe:
all the other parts of her story including pouring sand into a mallam's hand to conclude the ritual have been confirmed. My husband believes we should forgive and forget that she's a victim, just send her away and thank God it wasn't worse but my heart is still heavy, I know wetin that money for do for me and I still can't fathom someone falling for the whole trick.

Heya, may God replenish you in triple folds and make a way where they seem to be no way

Ye2ndearisto:

Came in for induction last night because I was already 39weeks+but was fixed in the drip by 8am 21st March by 11am I was fully dilated to 9cm , and then I started to push and push .

wow! congrats my baby was 9pounds and i know how hard the pushing was

Superwoman
God bless the LO

Fvine:
Hi. That's great that your husband wants to try out the fast. I understand your gist on the cholesterol but I'll refrain from giving a lecture in it. The Egg yolk is the powerhouse in the Egg, that's where all the minerals and vitamins are, you'll be depriving your husband of proper nutrition while on the fast which is very bad. And also altering the fast recipe might also work against him and he wouldn't reap the full benefits. If he's going on a 5 day fast, 5 days will not suddenly make his cholesterol soooo high and make him have heart issues don't you think? Please go and sign up on the Facebook support page for interaction with people all over the world who are sharing their daily experiences on the fast. I don't want to convince you by myself. Kindly keep us posted. Pls let him do a before and after records.

i decided to go 50:50 so in making 6 eggs i kept 3 yolks

He currently weighs 105kg....he has hit a plateau since December hovering btw 104-107kg after coming down from 121kg

his goal is to go bellow 100kg and he exercises 4 times a week

Fvine:
Please don't starve him oh! 6 eggs is the minimum but there's no Maximum. My 1st Egg Fast, I ate 12 eggs Day 1 and Day 2 and then moved down to 8 Eggs from Day 3 when my hunger, cravings and appetite started going down, eventually by Day 6 or so, I could only take the minimum of 6 eggs.

Hope you remembered to match it with the Tablespoon of Fat which is either Real Butter, Mayonnaise, Olive Oil or Coconut Oil. Please let us know how his 1st day went. Well done for doing this for your DH.

thank you. he took the 6 eggs to work and had another 3 when he got home

Same as today, he has taken 6 to work as well

he was able to exercise for an hour yesterday morning and also this morning


I used a table spoon of olive oil

Hopefully this helps him break his plateau
will keep the house posted

donugapi:
Very true.. My wife stayed with her family for nearly 4 months... her family were so nice.. They even gave us their car to use plus gas money sometimes sef. They bought so many gifts for our baby and gave her plenty money.. before we left we opened an account for her with nearly $2k in there.

Some people naturally just have bad attitudes.

Key word here being HER family

nefertitiram:
It doesn't matter, who is good is good. I did 5mths wit a cousin I met on facebook. Na tears dem take tell me goodbye.

Key word here being Your own cousin

truth is with inlaws, very few are exceptions. I stayed with my sis inlaw during my first missionary journey for 12 weeks / 3 months. she was very nice. she and her husband did everything for me including all dr's appointment and even stayed in the labor room with me. However your house isn't your house. No matter how nice or nasty anyone is

4 months is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

As you are getting tired of them (which is normal and inevitable), i believe they are also getting tired of you (which is normal and inevitable)

For my second missionary journey my total waka was just 7 weeks but i stayed on my own. the difference was 7up. I Slept when i wanted to, without fear of being judged as lazy. ate when i wanted to, starved when i wanted to. I basically did things my way and at my pace. Bliss mehn

hmm. the people saying she should have taken the advice of going straight to the IRS. hmm, this husband/ wife relationship is already strained from what she has said. if he is reacting like this to a mere confrontation imagine how he will react if she had gone ahead report his sister for fraud and possibly lead to them having a criminal record.

what do we honestly think will become of the relationship between husband and wife?

After all said and done i believe she is still interested in the marriage so its important, infact strike that VERY IMPORTANT to thread with caution.

I just hope that during the shouting match or confrontation she made it clear to them that the social security will be flagged, so that way they have been warned, if they decide to proceed it will be at their peril.

Thanks

So today is day 1 I gave him 6 eggs to take to work he will have it as brunch
4 had no yolk while 2 had their yolk

He is also working out as he works out Monday to Friday

Discussion and prediction is not the same as stating categorically what has happened

Wait o Girloom you have been there since November 3 and today is March 21 that's 4 month already.

Hmm. Too long to be a guest in anyone's house. See finish has also entered the matter

@theleakytribe hmm this story sounds very very familiar
I had a help who would disappear for hours whenever I sent her on any errand. One day my husband was looking for his very very expensive watch

He said it must have been her but I didnt believe... I always always give everyone the benefit of the doubt

Anyways last last I noticed she had forgotten her phone when she went to my moms so I looked thru it and saw she was communicating with people who gave her scriptures to pray and also told her to search my House for God knows what

So it's very possible
But if you are smart about it maybe you can set a trap for those people. Our police men like lazy work which is why we decided to cut our losses then and just kick her out

But try to see if you can trace the no of the people, or set a trap for them by luring them with more money

Abeg you are still in my prayers cuz i know how hard it is to get $$
