Madam Chinwendym, its good to be back, we are hanging in there by God's grace we will also deliver with ease.

March mamas its a bit quite this week, how's waddling? Are the LOs getting ready to meet us?

Blessed week with full of wisdom from the most High to all the mamas as our hormones will be doing great work and we will be tested to do or say stuff we didn't mean.

@Humbledbygrace, of all the stores you mentioned I think it's only PEP we have here in naija. And they sell just baby cloths.

Ok, I would have preferred thearket but the all the shops I mentioned are found in malls. I guess they are Southern African owned or something, and like someone said, it would be better to have someone who will just pack everything for you to the cab or car and when you get home someone should carry for you to the house. I also like pricing before buying, I had to check the quality of things before buying, though it was tiring at the end of the day, I had only entered three stores and bought all my baby stuff at three stores for R3500 and very pleased with what I've got. Thanks to the mama who posted things needed for a baby here, I shopped like a pro and one lady even asked to see my list. cheesy

[/quote]Nice to meet you too mama.

We are really in the same board, I am allergic to almost everything, and now I have only found solace in Nivea products because of odor, vomiting and nausea is the order of the day.

But it will end in praise, just cant wait for Lo to arrive, then all will be forgotten but mommy will be hanging boot for half a decade or so, I need time to heal. [quote author=happytemi post=43742596]You are not alone. Mine has gone so bad that any form of climbing no matter how small is soooooooo painful, not just getting off the bed. My consolation is that it will end this month and i will have my baby in my hands to make me forget all the pains. May we behold our healthy babies in Jesus name. Ehugs.

Amen to that sister, that is the spirit, it just helps to know that we are not alone. Some people where I come from will look at you and call you all sorts of names.

"Is she the first to get pregnant?"

"All of a sudden she is a glass which breaks whenever work needs to be done? I've had my five children and wasn't this lazy!"

"Children of today! So lazy, it will not kill you to some work."

I remember after my bfp, I couldn't do much, was always nauseous and low blood had me at a corner and I had to go for an upaid leave, the deputy asked why couldn't they just sack me as I had just started working there blah blah. She told me one of the teachers who has just returned from maternity leave worked until the day her water broke. At that moment, I was feeling so sick I just ran out of the office to the ladies, I stayed there till I had emptied everything in me and feeling dizzy, when hubby saw me, he ended the meeting abruptly and took me home. Few days later he told me he had signed my resignation letter when I was in the toilet, the one I knew nothing about. It was a trying time for me but he told me he couldn't take the woman's nasty comments and want what is best for his child. Sorry for the epistle o, but our children nomatter how trying this season of pregnancy may be, means more than anything in the world to us. I thank God for this gift, he/she is our first priority.

@ Mitchy, please don't punish me, I don't have that patience anymore to finish anything I have started. I always get bored halfway, or something will distract me and that would be it, but will try and stay focused, my baby is always on my mind, I have even abandoned my writing, as in I don't have hobbies anymore. Thanks for the info on pgp, I've been doing some exercises and trying to follow everything they say I should do but it just does not want to let me be.

goldmine:
Look who's back! So good to know you're okay. That pain no be here o. Had it with my 2nd,3rd and 4th pregnancies. Infact it was d return of the pain that 'notified' me that I had conceived the fourth time. Being told to I couldn't take anything stronger than PCM sure was frustrating. Of course you would be able to push your LO out cos you won't even notice the pain as such during labour .

85% of baby things from one store? trust me, if Mamas here in naija could get even 10 or 20% off they won't be stressing themselves shopping for baby things at dosumu et al or moving from one shop to the other to haggle prices and ensure that they don't get cheated. PEP is here, but one can't get a third of what is required from PEP. Besides, I believe PEP here is stuffed with so many inferior things. Woolworths used to be in but they packed up few years ago-Nigerian market wasn't favorable to the Nigerian market.

Feels good to be back, missed this place.

Our pep here sells good stuff for babies though Ackermans and Jet are still the best. Woolworths is just ridiculously expensive especially when I know my baby is going to out grow most of the clothes within a week or two.

I will push by His grace, just can't wait for April to know which way we are going.

Happy Sunday to you and all the mamas and papas here, greetings to your families and e-kisses to the Los.

Finally!!!!!

Good morning beautiful women of proverbs 31. I thank God for our children whom if not of their coming we all wouldn't have been in this thread.

Its been a while, every time I come here I am met by 100+ pages to read and I never ever finish. sad

Team May how far with shopping huh

? All I read here is you guys mentioning shops and markets where you buy baby stuff ya'll don't have Jet, Ackermans, Pep, Game, Woolworths etc where they sell baby stuff? Because in those shops you can get 85% of baby things in one store for R2500.00. anyway, I've already packed my own bag, because I don't tjink I will be able to do that in the next couple of weeks.

Experiencing something called pelvic girdle pain and they told me its normal at the clinic when I begged them for pain killers, I felt like strangling someone mxm. The pain is out of this world and I am just wondering if I will be able to push my LO out from down there when its even hard for me to get out of bed to go to the loo at night and hubby has to carry me all the time.

Anyone experiencing itchy palms? This pregnancy is one of a kind that has isolated me from people because I complain of this and that all the time and our African people believe that you shouldn't rest especially now so that the baby won't sleep when its due. There's this Lady who cleans our flat and always calls me lazy whenever we meet downstairs. She always insist I use the stairs, and will shout it loud to hubby that he is spoiling me blah blah. Just thank God for Google, this man has stopped comparing my pregnancy to that of other ladies and gladly offer advise to those who call me lazy. When we go for ANC, trust my hubby to be the one couching other ladies and comforting them as he would share what he has to go through with me on daily basis.

Its been so long, my senior mamas, Zaynie, Modath, chinwendym, Ahnie, gold.mine, mitchy, and everyone else I didn't mention, I have all of you in my heart and I am forever grateful that I found this thread at the right time. Its like a family I always dreamed off, where we disagree to agree on different stuff but still have megalove for each other.

cheesy

last night I dreamed of twin girls, their birth was so smooth they just slipped out of my down below like water and I was so excited to breast feed them, one looked like me and the other like hubby. I couldnt wait to come and post my birth story here, my joy knew no bounds and when I woke up I told hubby and the look he gave me........I had to laugh it off and said it was a sign for our next missionary journey, he just spoiled my mood for the whole day!

Please pardon the epistle, blame it on insomnia.

Chinwendym:
hmmm (at the bolded)Pele dear, abeg no vex o! You are already a mother and expecting another right? Is there no joy in that? Is there anywhere in the Holy book that God said is the RIGHT way to give birth? A lot of women that are ttcing won't mind bringing forte a child thru the anus if that's the only way they can have one and experience the joy of motherhood.

Please just pray for a healthy baby and safe delivery whichever means the child is birthed, being a mum is a great JOY! Please relish it. Wish you a safe delivery CS or VB.

Lol Mama Ekene,

I am a mother but never enjoyed it.

1. I don't know what contractions feels like as in the real deal.

2. I won't tell you how I gave birth, I want to feel and see everything from home to hospital.

3. I didn't raise my child, I only spend first six months of his life with him uninterrupted, from then only saw him on birthdays and holidays.

4. He died a month after his second birthday, when I was still planning to be around him more so this time to me feels like a whole new chapter. Something I've never experienced before.

M not angry, motherhood is something to be enjoyed yes and I thank God for CS because we wouldn't have made it with my first if not for it. Just this time around I also want to be present in the delivery room. I also want to FEEL everything without any complication, be it CS or VB.

Izzystevens:
Fear? Pls cast it out immediately as there's absolutely nothing to fear, HE has not given us the spirit of fear but of love(to conceive) and of a sound mind(body) to birth our kids.

Also, you had your CS 5years ago, thats a considerable length of time and IMO you are good to go the VBAC route.

...eclampsia in the first pregnancy led to the CS. Every pregnancy is unique, this time around, you shall not experience such and with your baby in the right position, itz a smooth VBAC all the way.

Lastly, you gotta trust your doctor, else, he/she has no business been ur doctor.

In concluding my epistle, lets trust the great Physician, the Balm in gilead for our five minutes painless VBAC. Kindly hold on to Ps 66:7 - Before she travailed, she brought forth;before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

Shalom!

thank you so much for this ma'am. My 36weeks check-up will give us glue on which route to take, still a bit far now.

To God be the glory for all things He has done and the ones He is yet to do in our lives amen.

Blessed week beautiful women of God and to the wonderful fathers in the house. Shalom

Humbledbygrace,
As for your suggestion, you know this is a faceless forum. You dont know if we have some very crayyyy ppl hanging around plus me I have a diary where I pour everything. Before I will see my topic on Linda's blog with my picture and details complete .
Secondly VBAC is VERY possible. I had my CS almost 4 yrs ago. And last year, I had my VBAC.
There were conditions
-Low bp ,i blood sugar and protein.
- correct positioning of foetus and placenta.
- weight and number of foetus.
Other mamas aiming for VBAC are Derommyvent and Izzystevens.
Holler at them so u can compare notes from Drs.
Goodluck.

I understand, very clear now.

And thanks a lot, appreciated.

HumbledbYGrace,

Hello, Bolade005 is on point... If the reason for Cs no longer exists entertain no fear , Zaynie can testify...

As per that your suggestion, do you honestly believe 3/4 of our biuriful mamas aren't already whatsapp & BB friends?

The downside of making everything offline though is that new folks won't have resources to guide them, but I really don't know, other mamas can chime in...

@ Everyone, LBK is saying, thanks mummies, God bless you & All yours..

Tell LBK he is welcome on behalf of all the aunties here cheesy

I will stop entertaining fear, feels like my first time as I have no experience of labor pains, pushing or how I even got to hospital, my memory of the events of that day will forever remain faded.

Gotta gear up....thanks a lot.

About the group, it brings more closure, well we would always have this one here but most communications done offline, use this as reference.

Bolade005:
There is nothing to be scared of really. My wife had CS just two years ago and to think she had pre-eclampsia too then and she had VB just two weeks ago.

Like Will Smith said "Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice".

If your doctor believe you can have VB then you can. Trust your doc, Ma.

Thank you, hubby is also saying I should go for VB, he doesn't want me to have a scar on my abdomen because the old one is almost completely gone and says it will give us chance to have more kids later as this would be my last CS, doctor's advise.

Will be praying on it and that bp stays normal until my baby comes so I can also experience the joy of motherhood the way God intended it to be.

Thank you once again Sah.

Good evening vigilante mamas and waddling ones.

Hotmama congratulations on the birth of your baby, its time to rest well now.

Senior mommy Ahnie, I've experienced sad stories of women who allow younger women/ladies to stay in their houses. Besides you have first hand experience, once bitten twice shy, for you and your daughter's peace of mind, tell uncle Alex a big fat no, reminding him what happened last year. Your happiness comes first, that was why he married you.

Aunty Zaynie, Modath and all the seniors have you deliberated on my request?

Erm sabi mamas who have had CS before then VB later, is there anything to fear? I had CS five years ago due to eclampsia and now my Doctor advised me on having VB, telling the pros and cons of it and I am scared!!!

Hello ma'am.

Erm mamas is it possible to have a whatsapp group like this one? Rules says they shouldn't be allowed but is it possible? There are issues we feel we can't share here due to some political issues some of us are involved in on this forum so I was wondering if we could have a more intimate place where we are free to bare it all? (Just discovered my BIL is a big shot in politics section.) Can't be mentioning names, we never know who's reading when we bare it all out.

Besides whatsapp is close to us and we won't need to email anyone if we need something or wanna check up on others.

In light to ma'am Beedam's checking up on other mamas last night.

Senior madams
Cc modath, Zaynie, Ahnie, Beedam and everyone else.
