Sansa143 and Rhemy2013, I missed your baby's pics. I don't know why I keep missing your pics .

You are very welcome Mommy Fortune. Your prayer Mondays as Cappo was one of the things that attracted me to this thread and your funny opening roll call line just because it's our month . . ."

Giddyperson, I saw your mention at the other thread. If you want the front axle, coman collect it

Mummy Ifyalways, I think you are mixing up the identities. Forzarus wasn't the cappo but she always lead us in prayers on Monday. She was dedicated to that and I appreciate her for doing so. Phlakkeys was the cappo for July that does the roll call and starts it with "just because it's our month".

To all the mamas that are interested, the address is No 51 Oroyinyi street, idumota. It's opposite phone plaza. If you enter through adeniji, you take the second street on the right then turn right. I think that area is still Dosunmu.
You can call this number for directions 08060683390. The name is Chimezie.

Hint: you can ask them to mix the sizes of the items they sell in dozens. E.g.; they sell one size of body suit in dozen but you can ask for say long sleeve body suit in size 0 to 6 months mixed. If you want less number of items, you can get it from another shop around there. But there's seems to be cheaper.

Chijiuche:
Dear Mama,

Please who knows the name of the part of Lagos Island where they sell Babies things at affordable price? Or is there any affordable place one can direct me to. I want to start shopping as i don see two ball in between LO

Dosunmu. In my sojourn last week, I discovered somewhere in the market where they sell US baby things in wholesale price. Their prices are sometimes #500 below what is obtainable in other wholesale shops. The good thing about this place is that the guy is truthful and if you don't find what you are looking for in their shop, you can buy from other shops around there.
I first went to their shop but didn't buy anything from them because they've packed their goods already, I bought from one Alhaja around there. Let me know if you are interested so I'll give you their number and address.
Zaynie has very nice stuffs. You can check her thread. I can vouch for the quality of the things I bought from her.

Giddyperson:
lol I don't really want her to go jor. I just wish she would listen more and not be so persistent in her ways . The other day she brought bread to our bedroom at night. Hot and freshly baked and just because Giddybaby was staring at her she tried to put some in her mouth . EBF is a joke to her so she stays putting things in my baby's mouth even after I've said no one should. And some of the things she wants to feed her at so not safe. Before I come back from work one day and find my baby devouring ice-cream . I don't let her do these things while I'm here but she keeps trying so I'm just scared of what she would do when I resume work and my baby is at her mercy. I sha have my 'little birds' that flash me whenever she's up to something so it won't be that bad.

Also hubby is currently out of town and usually this is my 'free from marriage duties' period but it's not working this time cuz you can't tell MIL to eat indomie or cereal She would look at you with Ahnie's Isoko eyes and your brain would reset. Recently hubby got her to go and visit another of her kids for a week so we can rest from excess church, preaching and prayers. See us breathing sighs on relief when she left. Just for the woman to come back the next day and say she prefers staying here . Even on the one day she was gone, she called me by 4:30am the next morning that I should wake up and wake hubby. Then I should read Psalm 1-4 aloud while hubby would read 6-10 then together we read 11 and pray

Laugh wan tear my belle. Psalm 1 to 11 for morning devotion. lol

Happy weekend Mama's.
Hope we r all doing great.

Yes

My able cappo @ phlakkeys, please accept my sympathy. Heaven knows why it happened. I'm feeling so bad about this.
May God comfort you this period and affliction shall never arise again.
Huggs.

Giddyperson:
i do nah. She would tell me to read the book of Matthew. One day I wanted to actually read it so I went back to ask her Matthew what. And she goes the whole book of Matthew and if there's still time you can enter Mark

Tell me you are joking.

I want to specially thank our cappo @ phlakkeys for a job well done. Thank you for taking out time to ask after us and for your prayers too. Thank God it ended in praise. May you experience an easy labor too. I really appreciate.

To all my team members and those that gave birth, congratulations. May God bless our los.

To all the ATC mamas, May God who blessed me with this gift when I least expected it remember you for good and give you a surprise package that will marvel you.

To those who lost their loved ones, accept my sympathy. Heaven knows. May the good lord console you.

To all those that liked my posts, thank you.

I had to do a dating scan because obviously we can't rely on my lmp. You need to see the number of times I had to explain each time I'm asked my lmp by d nurses or consultants.
I had no ms, no nausea in fact, I enjoyed this pregnancy very well. Dh was just treating me like an egg, he serves me breakfast in bed, does house chores, cooks and take care of my children because I had no help then and to pacify me because I was angry that I was pregnant.
Fast forward to my third trimester, I was very sure I'll give birth in June because I've never gotten to my edd but this baby is different.
I had an attempted CS @ 36 weeks, prodromal labour for almost 2 weeks and I passed my edd.
On my edd, I went to the hospital to get checked and was told that my cervix is posterior although they could feel the baby's head. That's not new, I've been hearing this for weeks now and nothing yet. I was so tired of being pregnant so the prof suggested I take 4 tablespoons of castor oil with orange juice to see if the contractions will intensify. Everything I read about castor oil was bad news so I was skeptical about taking it. I tried walking, kpekusing, pineapple but no show.
Dh encouraged me to try only 2 tablespoons which I did on Sunday night. Monday morning I purged like crazy that I had to relocate to the toilet. I was getting weaker and weaker with no iota of contraction. I had to take ors, Garri, bread to stop the diarrhea. After the whole thing, I swore never to smell castor oil again.
In the night, sleep travelled to sambisa because I slept d whole day. I left my room and went to the sitting room and prayed. I told God that I'm tired of being pregnant and just want the baby out. I went back to lie down around 2:30 am. I woke up @ 3:15 am to pee and had this strong painless contraction with strong pressure on my pelvis. I went back to bed and had another one @ 3:55am. I told my Dh that it's like I need to get to the hospital. I wasn't too sure because of my experience with false labor. I had my bath, got my children ready for school, prepared their lunch and left for the hospital. I got there some minutes past 6 and vomited immediately I got there. The midwife tried to check how far I've dilated but my membrane was bulging out. They started arguing whether to break my water or allow d contractions to do it, I no send them, I just lay on my left side and was Jejely reserving my energy. The head of nurses came in and asked them to break the water, immediately I felt d urge to push. I just screamed, I want to push ohhh. The asked me to hold on so they'll be sure I was fully dialated which I was. My first push, small poo came out. The nurse urged me to continue that it's her duty to clean me up .
One more push, the head came out followed by the body without a tear @ 7:05am weighing 4kg. I spent less than an hour @ d hospital.

Abeg, ignore any grammatical or typo error. I'll edit later.
Sorry, I have to remove d second pics.

Every spirit of procrastination, die by fire .

My birth story.
I had my dd 6 years ago and was so sure I've hanged my boots. I had a mirena inserted and I enjoyed over 4 years of no menses. Suddenly around August last year, I started missing my monthly cycle and decided to remove it and see if my period will regulate before I insert another one. After my first period in Aug/sept, I armed myself with udah water, cd and make sure dh withdraws each time we kpekus.
I noticed that I haven't seen my period by October but I wasn't bothered because I've never had a regular cycle. I decided that by dec I'll go for another fp period or no period. November ending, I started feeling feverish, dh was treating malaria too, so I decided to treat malaria as well and also took augmentatin but after d whole dosage, I wasn't feeling any better.
Dh suggested I do a pt test which I reluctantly did after binding and casting but lo and behold, I saw d double line. I was devastated to say d less. I had plans for 2017. I was just beginning to enjoy my life because dd is older and more independent. Dh was over excited . He told me his only annoyance is that I didn't allow him to enjoy kpekusing with my " don't release inside".

Giddyperson:

lady25:
Please who has ever had a low blood pressure in pregnancy. I measured 90/50 today. I'm worried o. Abeg chook mouth for my matter

There's nothing to be worried about. I don't think this is considered low unless it's goes lower than this or you are fainting, feeling lightheaded or dizzy. If my memory doesn't fail me, my bp is always 100/60, 90/60 or 90/50 and no one ever complained unless yours is always on the high side.
Normal systolic range is 90 to 130. Normal diastolic is 60 to 80. But a 50 in pregnancy is considered normal.
Just make sure you are not dehydrated or bleeding. I think that's all.

queenhecate:
do you normally have heartburn? it works sha but I don't know about heartburn cos me I dey drink am without aftereffects.

Ok. I'm scared of food now cos almost everything gives me heartburn this last weeks. I'll make pepper soup tomorrow. I have all the spices. Thanks.

queenhecate:
My able edd mate. I snorted as I read your post now. Because I was on vying he verge of going to the market to go and mix grind better pepper soup ingredients and come and make very hot white soup and drink to see if we can jumpstart this process.

my own funny pass because I don't have even one shinkini sign of labour just scratching away like mad at this yeast infection I have got.

No drink that castor oil again ooo. it did sweet farking all for my first baby and only gave me the runs and nothing else.

the Lord is our muscle.

Amen. Pepper soup ingredients sounds good. Have you tried it before? I'm scared of heartburn. Sorry about the yeast infection.
I'll never try that thing again. Never.

Naomi14:
It's still +/-2weeks! So there is still time. Lo is relaxing, tell him to come out and play with his siblings. Am sure they are waiting

Yea. I'm tired of hearing "mummy why is the baby not out yet?"
My hospital will medically intervene once you get to 41 weeks. I pray it doesn't get to that or else, I'll stop ANC after this week.

Naomi14:
Awwwww just tell him that you like the name. Maybe he will consider. I bi ask you how the hospital waka go and not about the food. I went to quote the food post thereby causing the misunderstanding.

Ohh. Nothing has changed from my previous visit. Dr suggested I take few spoons of castor oil mixed with orange juice. I don't know why I agreed to try it this morning. I've been sitting in my toilet since morning feeling so miserable and the annoying thing is that it didn't intensify the contractions but my stomach has been running like tap.
I've passed my edd and it's somehow unusual for me but I've decided to wait it out. I can't kill my self. The baby will come when he's ready.

Naomi14:
Osamudiamen meaning God is standing by me. Osamwenzemwogie meaning God has exalted me, Oghogho meaning happiness. Osabumwenre meaning God has come to my rescue, Osague meaning God own all. Osahon meaning God hears. Osamuyime meaning God has granted me glory. Oya pick this names dey nice! It's not heart wrenching

Hmmm, very nice. My husband is Benin and only reveals the name he choose after the baby is born. I like Osamuyime. Wish he'll choose that

Naomi14:
How did it go?

Very nice.
