I am fine, thanks. just struggling these days to fit my bump under my everyday tops and blouses I have refused to buy maternity clothes (to DH's disgust). is it just me. . . . i think maternity clothes aint sexy I have tried shopping around for the next size up in normal clothes but then i dont like the fit #rantover

@mamafresh.....am shocked!!!! Na so e go dey be now?? or did i miss ur bfp announcement? Anyway,congrats sis! wishing u a smooth 9months journey n a safe delivery. May Allah grant all d ttc mums our heart desire. Dont give up,it will happen wen u least expect it. Baby Dust to us all

erm. . . . why are you shocked

mamafresh announced her BFP here and YOU actually told her congratulations. see your post below

rainyday:
Congratulations!! This is indeed God's doing. Am happy for u,wishing u a smooth,healthy and stress free 9months.

manoda:
this question is not directed to me,but let me answer you.according to a friend that got bfp in same procedure, she said her doctor inseminated her before the trigger shot,so as to allow s.p.e.r.m waiting joyfully in the v.jay before the ovum will arrive. you know sperm can live longer .

Most doctors don't do this, but I believe @ mamafresh's Doctor knows his onion.
people that I know,DAT got inseminated dis way had Bfp.
.

you are right.

this logic also applies 100% to natural conception.

its best to bd before ovulation so that you have enough swimmers waiting patiently for the egg.

kaycee676:
Well mama's am here to share my story wit u all on wat I did differently dis time. I pray as u read it God will surely visit u all soonest IJN Amen!!!
Av been married for d past 1yr n 6months now. After my wedding in Nov I got pregnant which I lost in FEB 2014. Since den I n my hubby has been trying to conceive but to know avail. So we decided to run some test which I was diagonised of PCOS. I was placed on glucophage n other drugs. My sis's I was taken dis drug n I got tired of d glucophage. I later found out dat I also hav prolactin issue. I decided to control dat wit bromergon. Now last month I decided to take clomid on de 4th day of my MC till de 8th day. Which I ovulated on de 15th de of MC. Of course we had to Bd on dat day n tru out dat week. After a week later, I started cin plenty CM coming out of my VJ. I had to ask de forum. Helovesme asked me to stop BDing at de moment since am in my 2WW so I stopped. In all dis. I never monitored or took any trigger shoot. I just believe God. N was praying. Now my period is ment to come out on de 7th of dis month. I started having some serious cramp like my AF is abt to come. Severe headaches n backaches. I started sleeping much. Always tired n eating all de time. My boosom was like I had 10 litres of water in it. Lol. De were so heavy. My nipples was so painful. So I just woke up dis morning n decided To test. Lo n behold dia it was. De two line. I was so happy. I had to wake hubby up. N we started praising God. My sis's sorry for de long story. I just cnt stop de joy in me from bubbling. Pls feel free to ask me any question. I wish u all fertility blessing. Tanks n love u all. Mua.

congrats beautiful lady. to God be the Glory. God is indeed faithful. I am so happy for you.

happy bumping and enjoy the 9months ride.

if you can stay off BD for the entire first trimester, please do so. continue praising God, read your bible, start confessing positivity into your entire 9months jouney, rest well, take things easy, drink lots of water, continue taking your folic acid, pregnacare (if you wish) and start shopping around for a good hospital to register for antenatal.

since you've had a previous MC, you might need to do a blood test ASAP to check if you are rhesus negative or positive so that you can take the required injection.

congrats once again.

Children of hate and anger...go away!

If you care to know..this is Onitsha not your yoruba imagination. Travel out of mud house and see civilized communities in SE and SS. Swine!

YIMU

Children of jealousy and bitterness . . . go and hug transformer.

civilization kwa in SE and SS

i dont need pictures to tell me what the slums - onitsha, enugunkwu, oko, awka, etc look like

I have been to the east several times. okay

new2020:
Osun has no assets. The only option is to take collateral loan from the Igbos .

clown!!

why not use your 'loan' to clean up Aba, Onitsha and also solve your land erosion problems.

you claim osun has no assets, yet you are ready to offer them loan. . . . what will be used as collateral? the osun goddess?

AREGBESOLA, this disgrace to the south west is getting too much oh.

what are his commisioners doing - especially those in charge of finance and budgetary planning/allocation.

they should try and do something - are there no assets in osun state to sell? government property, gold bars , bonds, shares ?

they shoud sell anything they have to raise the cash.

modath:
You have hit the nail on the head of the "matter", you didn't think the desperation to "serve" was too much?

Saraki is scared stiff of EFCC & with his numerous "rotten pots of beans" about to stink up the whole place,and with Baba's staunch anti- corruption stance the SP is his only respite from jail, he is a dying man.

He lost more than he won, he has now been tagged and can't ever live it down!!!

I agree!

Initially, i could'nt understand why he was all over the place campaigning, lobbying, etc for the position. Even during the PDP era, i cannot recollect any senate member that did so much public noise making on his or her desire to occupy any position in the senate.

then, i just put 1+1 together. . . . gbam ! EFCC

what APC should have done was re-organise the whole zoning formula by allocating that position to another geo-political zone. although,that would have led to some murmuring but definately not this whole mess we are seeing

NgeneUkwenu:
That's exactly what happened! They had the meeting in the morning just before the election! All that mattered to Saraki, was just his ambition! He doesn't care what he takes along with him! Very shameful!

Too shameful !!!

How can he do such to APC? the party that helped him in getting to the senate in the first place.

With all that has played out (so early into a new government), its best he is expelled and let APC damn the consequences.

But wait oh. If he is expelled, will he lose his seat as senate president? will there will be another election in the house? what happens next - best scenario, worst scenario?

Chai!! the whole thing is just a proper checkmate. busola really thought this through !

modath:
That was EXACTLY what played out , Saraki can be likened to Macbeth in his unbridled ambition.. He does not care how he realises his dream, all he cares about is his ends.

Saraki didn't have to leave the PDP when he did but he saw the handwiting on the wall that Lai Moh'd & APC will definitely make an inroad into his domain & he took a quick decision & went with the G-5.

chai !!!!

so busola is this cunny! how can you have a PDP senator as a deputy? who does that? he is making IBB look like a learner. is this what they taught him in med school?

in a way, i blame EFCC for this. if they had dealt with all the allegations of corruption hanging over him - societe generale bank, one suspicious farming project in Kwara state where he imported Danish cows, equally suspicious football academy where he employed clements westerhof and many other allegations of corruption - he wont have the audacity to vie for the position as senate president.

NgeneUkwenu:
You are just in my mind! If nothing is done to Saraki by the APC, then they should forget about 2019!

start fighting early!
Expel him!
Expel him!
Let him defect early!
Get him impeached with the support of few PDP senators!
Let Buhari keep mute!
Conclude everything fast!

Thank God there will no budget to pass in the next seven months!

gbam !

the earlier they expel him and face the consequences, the better.

i will rather have them deal with this demon NOW, than leave it till 2018 or 2019 when its wayyyyy too last.

NgeneUkwenu:
I wouldn't have had problems with Saraki, if he had chosen an APC Deputy just like the House of Rep! This is the height of insensitivity to the same party that gave him, the platform! So Ike Ekweremmadu from nowhere, will reap where he did not sow!

Nonsense!!!

i want to pretend that this is not the scenario that played out . . . . . please confirm: did saraki really reach a deal with the PDP elected senators to pick Ekweremmadu as his deputy in order to secure their support for his election as senate president ??

if thats the case, then he is a traitor!!! and he needs to be dealt with asap.

hahn:
My sister, the matter is too long abeg

Definitely, the next place I'm moving must come without a resident landlord.

I believe you've not had any experience with a crappy landlord and that's why you feel comfortable with taking his side. You might even be a crappy landlord yourself. That's a thought because you seem like the type

Tufia

I am a lover not a fighter.

I am not taking sides. however, rather than keep malice with my landlord, i will rather remain civil and polite and move out jejely at the expiration of my tenancy.

hahn:
And who needs a bossy ass landlord who keeps monitoring my life after I paid for my rent with my own sweat. How would you feel if your landlord tells you to pour out water you use to wash your clothes from inside your toilet into the gutter outside when you are not living in a face me I face you house?

Look, I paid for that apartment. I don't owe him any money and I'm not an armed robber. Irrespective of his age, he needs to understand that he is rendering a service and not offering me a favour. Its people like you that hinder this country's progress with your stone age mentality.

Even if I leave that house there are lots of places I can move into. He can send me out of his house and not out of the world

heheheheheheh

what you've explained doesnt justify keeping malice with your landlord and his wife.

life is too short. he did the right thing by giving you the quit notice and least you two will have peace and be happy now .

hahn:
Lol. For your mind you don make point abi?

We've actually settled the issue and he finally realised that he was the one at fault and apologised. He even admitted that he was surprised by my actions because he's closer to me than any other tenant and even when he's not around I ensure that his property is well taken care of. Unfortunately, he started taking my meekness for weakness and I had to clarify that to him. The only reason why he gave me the quit notice was because he didn't know how to summon me to a discussion and he even begged me not to leave his house when I asked him for my money. So now we're friends again.

Stop jumping into conclusions. It doesn't make you seem smart

YIMU

Begged you not to leave his house ke When a new tenant will obviously pay more rent in line with the current rate in the rental market?

Anyyways, it changes not the fact that he issued the quit notice first and he is currently on the lookout for another tenant .

hahn:
Lol. So, you're not also bothered about "why" we stopped abi?

Respect is reciprocal unfortunately most people expect it to be one sided

I am sure your landlord agrees with you and that is why he has given you quit notice, so that way you can leave him and his wife with their one-sided respect

there are somethings you do not do and having a frosty relationship with your landlord is one of them. its impossible not to always agree but it should never get to the stage of keeping malice. I will rather eject myself and find another property.

@topic
i think its all about individual upbringing and the family one marries into.

i call my younger inlaws by their names oh and they call me by my first name too - just the same way the call my hubby by his first name and my siblings call me by my own first name too. everybody is happy with this - i have not noticed any funny attitude or remarks. however, the day anybody makes it an issue, i will fight and make my stand clearly known.

i never knew this 'aunty' and 'uncle' ish still existed tho.

hahn:
Lol. And there you go jumping into conclusions. Why you refused to even ask "why" we stopped greeting them beats me.

I won't waste my time explaining. You apparent share the same mindset

Oh, So you and your wife actually have a 'reason' and you agreed between yourselves to stop greeting them.

so you will actually see them, pass beside them and not greet them? Chai !!!!

i like your landlord oh. Quit notice sharp !!! No time for nonsense. Who needs troublesome neighbours in a house built with one's sweat. Hian!! you can take your malice to another 'compound'.

hahn:
Its not nonsense o(ok, maybe it is). The yorubas put some kind of specila ranking on greetings and my landlord recently gave me a quit notice simply because me and my wife stop greeting he and his wife . Truly though, its mostly local yorubas that exhibit this trait.

My advice is, call her aunty and let peace rain. There a lot less to lose when there is peace in your family as apparent your mil has already taken sides.

Men don't take things like that seriously but I'd advice you call your husband's attention to it

why would you be living in a rented property and refuse to greet your landlord and his wife whom i guess are much older than you and your wife? isn't that rude? are you not effectively keeping malice with them?

well the quit notice you received is in order and well deserved before you turn the old man and his wife to punching bag.

I hate to say it, but I miss George W.Bush. He wasn't that bright nor diplomatic..but the guy didn't mess around. Ask Sadam?
ISIS will soon become a UN approved nation. Bush would have levelled the whole area where ISIS is hiding in plain sight. Obama is still talking; he has reduced America to a puppy nobody fears.

Gbam !

My only grouse with Obama is his foreign policy. See Iraq today - all the money spent on the war during the Bush era, the lives lost have all come to nothing as ISIS has almost taken total control of the country.

Then Syria and Libya *sighs* thats another matter entirely !

modath:
Asking your question there is fine with me cos its more to do with "health and wellbeing " than just travel but I asked to bring questions here so that "uninterested" parties will not feel one "kain", you understand how most people are nah.

you are right. noted !

thanks hun !

PassingShot:
What has happened for you to say this.

Is the NASS in session already?

that dude is yapping rubbish.

APC will do everything possible to ensure Saraki does not emerge as Senate President - even if it means changing the entire zoning formula and allocating that position to another geographical zone.

MissOpe:
Good morning to all mums and soon to be mums in the house, please mums I'm a soon to be mother and I'll like to find out from your personal experiences what exact week u found out the sex of ur baby.....I'm 19 weeks along and the last time I checked the gender couldn't be identified....also would like to find out if its okay to always have a warm bath....Thanks in anticipation of ur sincere responses.

i knew mine at 20weeks, however, i am aware that scans carried slightly earlier could reveal the sex of the baby. the fact is it actually depends on the position of your baby at the time the scan was carried out.

your baby could have been 'shy' with the legs closed which made it difficult for the sonographer to see the genitals. next time, wriggle your hips lightly or lie on your sides briefly to 'annoy' your baby and get baby to move/change position.

when you say warm bath? do you mean soaking yourself in a warm bathtub? well, thats not recommended by midwives/doctors. however, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a warm shower as long as the water is not VERY hot.

modath:
You're welcome,& at your service anytime, any other knotty issues,let's unravel them at that side...

Easy does it,if you get my drift.

Apologies, I usually make the effort to get the text of usernames right so the person will see the mention cos I don't really like to quote posts cos of the way it makes reading difficult & sometimes gets lost in the main body.

I capitalised where it wasn't necessary.

thanks my dear.

i was a bit undecided whether to raise the issue here or there- especially my concerns on what stage of the pregnancy to travel (as i thought thats health related) and that was why i thought, eff it lemme bring it here .

thanks again

Re:38 weeks, None: it's not even safe for you. You can give birth in the aircraft.
For the baby most drs recommend at last 6 wks, the earliest I have heard is 4 wks

Anyways move all enquiries to that thread so we don't derail this

thanks. you've been helpful.

modath:
@Helovesme,

Ehn ehn, make I balance type ya epistle.

Having a future POTUS dream aint bad, nothing wrong with having dreams.

The best you can do is 7-8weeks and that is cutting it quite cloooossseee... Do you know a 36wks baby's lungs are fully developed & if one were to go into labour at that time most drs and hospitals won't try to stop the process, all they'll do is to keep the baby for observarion for a day or so cos the baby will not need any breathing assistance at that GA so which sane airline will airlift you at 37wks let alone @ 38wks ?

Let's now say you do a 37 wks fast one (where you'll get a dr/hospital that late in a non emergent situation is another epistle) & baby comes @ 39wks, won't you get bc? What about tha almighty blue pali that made you take the risk in the 1st place?

The earliest a baby can board a plane is 7days post delivery and I wonder how you can get all docs earlier than 4wks, we aren't even considering the 6wks post natal visit.

modath, i missed your reply. guess its how you quoted my username. lol

thanks for your response. this is what i asked and not some unsolicited, 'over-sabi' opinion from someone yapping to me about benefits system, how to spend my money and all sorts of rubbish.

now i have a better understanding of the ideal time to travel as well as the minimum period i will have to stay in the states.

thanks again for your response

I left for Houston at 33 weeks.

okay. thanks

What do you have against soldiers ? Insulting them is uncalled for, afterall they are not the originator of boko haram...

are you a pot-bellied general

Onegai:
So you're one of those parents (my friend just told me about UK Nigerians flying to the US to birth). Hmmm.
.

not only UK. people from all over EU including Switzerland are doing this too.

Onegai:
Well, in my opinion, it's a waste of money (unless you just want it for bragging rights). What are the longterm benefits of having both? US is NOT a social state so all the UK benefits that apply to you will never happen here (people hate Obama care and medicaid and it's not even as broad and concise as NHS), the US does double taxation (something which affected Boris Johnson and a lot of Nigerians I know and they all gave up their US passports and yeah the US increases the fees daily for you to opt out of being a citizen), US schooling is getting more expensive (particularly uni). There are almost no benefits of having both and for me, I'd have preferred having Canadian or Swedish citizenship (rather than my US citizenship). But that's just me sha.

But like I said, Nigerians like bragging rights. Perhaps do your research on US taxation, cost of university in the US and new governmental regulations before subjecting your child to something that will backfire.

this has NOTHING to do with bragging rights. I have my reasons but its no point explaining them to you since you've concluded it for bragging ish. Bragging rights on top wetin $10,000 birthing costs maybe for people you roll with its something to brag about but most def not for me. the least you can have done is ask for reasons before going wild on your keyboard.

so you know, university education isnt free or cheap here (except in Scotland) and i cant be azzed to counter most of your other points . i work in the financial services sector so i know everything about US's FATCA regulations. okay?

just the same way you prefer canadian or swedish citizenship over others is the same way some people prefer that of the US over others. different strokes for different folks.

and your last line - what will backfire its an individual's choice to settle down in which ever country he pleases and renounce whatever citizenship he or she holds.

****modified****
even if its to brag is it your business ? nigerians like you and their 'jealousy jealousy' syndrome.

*in olu maintain's voice* WHY YOU DEY VEX? WHY YOU DEY VEX? IS IT YOUR MONEY? IS IT YOUR MONEY !!!

SHIOR !
