You keep malice and you're proud of it. Repent!

You will keep more than malice if someone stole your kid too! What are you even on about?

uglyBetty1:
Don't worry, you are not alone. If I go to hospital for ANC dey don't look at me when they come to call pregnant women for classes. I am 18 weeks and I just noticed that some of my shirts are not buttoning well so I guess d bump Is coming out small

Enjoy it, the main thing is for you baby to be well and healthy.

Congrats to all great mumies out there and all pushing mummies, the Lord is our strength.

May we carry to full term and safe delivery to all

Big Amen!

I am almost 19 weeks and I am still the same. My stomach just looks like I just had a big meal, that's all. We were out on Saturday and I was talking with our family friend about organizing the baby shower and the sex of the baby, someone beside me asked how possible it is to know the sex of the baby this early? She could not tell that I was that far along I see the bumps here and I am jealous. Lool.

To be honest guys, nobody buys a house cash in the States, that's where i live too, but what they do is make a payment plan , which you might end up paying for 10 or 5 yrs. so wizkid is no different from everyother individual that pays a certain amount of money everymonth for the house. That's what you all should understand. He might not have paid fully for the house , but yes he might be the owner. Trust me the way we pay for house cash in Nigeria, that shit don't work there.

Lmao. Where in the US do you live? People buy houses cash down. Rich people do. And it's not called payment plan, it's called mortgage. And most mortgage are for 15 or 30 years. Not 5 or 10 years. Lmao. Your story has holes

Bro,you should rather pray that God gives you the resource s to take your daughters outside Africa to school.

All these girls were sane until they got to the Nigerian universities. They spend so much time learning prostitition of different kind instead of studying. They come out and have lost whatever morals they had.

And you think the girls outside of Nigeria are better? Then that means you haven't stepped a foot outside of the shores of Nigeria

Smh. Nigerians. That's not a phone, that's just an headset, or earphone or earpiece. Whichever one you chose to call it

Okay house, after reading all the comments I decided to ask my sister inlaw about the SSN. I went to her that I was worried that his card came without an envelope and got a shocker...she said what do I want to use the envelope for? I said SSN is private information and why was it opened, she said they opened it because they could. I lost it and told her respect was reciprocal and it was wrong. She turned it into fight and asked me to leave her house. The husband came and intervened that they held on to it because it was delicate, dumbest reason ever. Unfortunately, my husband is scared of his sister and not saying much. I am so mad right now, I never wanted to stay with his family but didn't have a better option. Just looking to get his visa and return home asap

See? See why I said you should report to the authorities? Gosh, they didn't even seem apologetic one bit! See reasons? Nigerians I hail thee!! They held on to it cos it was delicate? And as you be 11 year old Pikin who cannot keep things safe, not to talk of her son's personal property. they were not even repentant! Just look at the arrogance and flagrant disrespect of privacy, telling you they opened it cos they can. Nawa! Even ordering you to leave their house? What do you intend to do now?

Justwise, Oya come and see o. what have you to say to these people's behavior now?

People coming here to give birth, please and please, if you can afford it, get an apartment. A lot of people will host you in their house and turn themselves into demigods. Want you to be docile and never question their ways even if it's wrong. They'll tell you they're feeding you and putting a roof over your head, so you should be grateful. Save yourself stories that touch like these and don't let anybody disrespect you, all because you're living off them. I'm sure all of you are queens of your households back in Naija, nobody should dire spect you or turn you into a semi-maid in America. Stories like these are abound on this thread, it's sad and painful. Smh.

justwise:
I hope that is the case.

That's not the case. You can file anytime. Even if the baby was born during tax season or was born a week before tax season ends. So far you've not filed your own taxes at that time. If he/she was not born during tax season, you wait till the next year.

worry359:
But it is very clear he was up to something, hiding then producing the document!
Best to check even with a family member.
Ask him straight out "what were you doing"
Tell him if there is no answer you will seek one from social security.

Yes. I support this too. Ask him pointblank and tell him without mincing words that you're going to alert the IRS that the card came without an envelope (is that even possible for the card to come with an envelope ) if he can't give you reasons why the packet was open. Watch him sing like a canary.

justwise:
Tax is filled after financial year which is from April 5th so i don't think he has used it yet

No. Not in the US. Our tax filing season starts in mid January and ends mid Alril. This year's has been on from January 19 and it ends in April 15. So if he wants to use it, he might have used it already and that's just too sad.

That said, there is no excusing what he did. Even if he did not use the SSN to claim credits, what he did was absolutely wrong. Social Security Administration is always boldly written on the envelope that brings the card in the mail, so he cannot tell her that he didn't know that it contains the baby's SSN. Then he still went ahead and hid the entire card from her after opening and probably copying the number. Arghhh. How criminal can that be?

He didn't think about the criminal implications of that before opening the documents and even hiding it from her? You know what SSN issues can cause someone in America? You gotta experience it before you feel the full weight of it. I still stand by what I said. Call the IRS identity theft hotline. Tell them the envelope was delivered open. No need to mention the person that opened it. Let them put a marker on that SSN and possibly give you a PIN. If he has filed with the SSN this year, fine. Next year if he tries it, his whole refund will be held and he will be told to verify identity with the PIN you were given and since he doesn't know it, that's when the issue will start. If he can't produce it, his whole refund will be held and might prompt an audit and even an investigation. Some Nigerians here are just appalling and I've heard stories of hosts doing that to people. What will the 2K or less claimed from child credit do for you? What? Nonsense!!!

girlloom:
Hello all, please I need help.
Okay, I understand ssn should be delivered to the address provided 2 weeks or so after birth. It happened that I didn't receive my son's as at a month afterwards so I felt it actually got missing and was going to request for another. I also mentioned this to my host and they agreed it was probably missing and I should forget about it as there was no need need for the number. At 7 weeks after, I decided to apply for his passport and there was a part on the application form where they requested for ssn, so I told my host that I would be going to the social security office to request for a new one. He then asked to see where the number was requested on the form so I showed him. Surprisingly, my host told me I shouldn't bother that the ss card would be delivered that day and he was very certain. At 8pm that day, he handed me my son's card lnot looking new with no envelope and his ssn exposed. Why would he open a mail that was clearly addressed to my son? I couldn't even say anything because he is my sis inlaw's husband and don't want to come across as rude. Now I suspect my son's card has been used fraudulently for tax claims. Please is it possible to block the number from being used? May I add that my host is now suddenly over protective of his mailbox. I believe there are letters he is receiving that he doesn't want me to see.

I'm so sorry to butt in like this. But I'm very angered by the way some Nigerians here behave. The amount he will get from claiming your kid as a dependent is less than 2K so what's the rubbish for?
That said, IRS offices are not open all year round and most cities don't even have office. Call the IRS Identity Theft department on 1-800-908-4490 and explain to them that your host handed your son's SSN to you with the envelope opened. They should flag his SSN to prevent anybody from using it and they might also give you a PIN that has to be submitted anytime tax is filled (I'm not entirely sure how it works). Act fast o, tax season is still on on he might even have claimed child credits with the SSN. Don't let him know you're calling the IRS. Keep quiet and if he actually got filed with your Son's SSN he will pay back every penny and his previous taxes might get audited. You need to teach him a lesson

Godmother:
Hi mothers and preggers (if there's such a word) I'm new here. Did a home PT and it showed 2 strips. Went to d hospital for confirmation and d doc refused to, saying there's no need as the 2 strips already shows pregnancy. Also, been having a kind of pain in my lower abdomen, not too severe, but a bit uncomfortable. My mum says its not to worry about as she had it for all her pregs while my doc says I shud return in 2 weeks time for a scan.

Been so scared since as this is my first preg and I don't want any complications.

Welcome and congratulations. Different hospitals with different protocols. My hospital would not schedule you for an OB intake until a blood test shows a positive, some hospitals are good with the Urine test you've done. But if you already did the HPT and it was a clear positive and not an evap line, then I don't think you should worry. The test says you're pregnant so relax and enjoy your journey to motherhood. Or you could go to a lab and tell them to do a blood PT on you if you want sha. The cramps are normal. It will come and go.

Abeg mamas make una touch lite for this my matter. Since I was born, I have never experienced nose bleed. But recently, I have been bleeding seriously thru one of my nose, this is the 3rd time it is happening, and it last for about 10-15mins. Is it anything related to my pregnancy? Should I be worried?

I do get something similar to your nosebleeds. But mine is when I wake up in the morning. My throat is stuffed with phlegm and when I spit it out, mucus comes out heavily tinged with blood. Then when I blow my nose too, it is very bloody and sometimes the blood that comes out is huge. I complained to my OB and he told me that due to pregnancy, there is an increase in the blood volume in my body and that's also what causes the hemorrhoids I always have. He also said allergies due to the winter can cause it and he recommended me to buy something called Neti Pot, use it as directed and possibly get a humidifier to keep the air circulation damp while I'm asleep.

I didn't get the Neti Pot cos no store had it in stock around me, but I got the humidifier and it worked for me. I also put some Ori (African Shea Butter) in my nose before I sleep everynight and that helps in moisturizing my nose while I sleep. Talk to your doctor about it first though to rule out anything but I'm sure its harmless (I read its a perk of being pregnant ). Sorry for the long post.

2sexynet:
so you are even expecting a child. I curse your child today that what befall Ese Oruru will befall that child 100 times, bloody Northerner! And may you find yourself in excruciating pains that you will seek for help on your child but will almost find non. Then you will know what it feels like for a mother to be helpless in fighting to save her child

I just shake my head for some people. You had a fight with a human and you're cursing her unborn child? Are you sane? And to think that you're a lady yourself (at least guessing from your profile). When did people start taking fights that happen on a faceless forum so seriously? Cursing someone and her innocent child because of a fight that happened over a girl that I'm sure neither of you know?

May God forgive you cos I am totally shocked and speechless. May the curses you wished on this woman's unborn child not come to past and I also pray the curses do not turn and manifest on you. Cos Yorubas will say when you point a finger to curse another human, the remaining 9 fingers are directed towards you. And people like you will go to the mosque or church and say you've gone to worship God, not knowing your heart is full of evil. Please get your negativity away from this thread

Ellidude:
Really? Did anyone observe the 9th question? The coordinator didn't finish reading the question before he answered.

Come on, it's very (obvious or possibly so) that the participants were handed the questions prior to the commencement the questioning round.

He has a screen in front of him that displays the answers just as the quiz master is also writing it. Notice he keeps looking downwards and not at the quizmaster. He's looking at the screen containing the questions

@Mamaoo which gum did you use as I'm still battling with spit at 33weeks

I eat different kinds.... PUR pomegranate mint, 5, Extra. They always have different selections at the store.

mitchyy:
Hello mamas, please is there anything i can do to stop this spitting? It started at 5weeks and i'm 20 weeks(5 months) gone now, yet i'm still spitting every minute. I'm getting frustrated that i'm still carrying spit cup around.

Also, my heartburn is becoming worse these days. Any meal i eat gives me heartburn. Once i eat one spoonful, my chest starts heating up and i have to drink water for it to calm down. Its very uncomfortable and i wish there is sth i can do

As per the spiting, the only thing that works for me is minty sugarless gum. The mint keeps my mouth refreshed and minty and that helps with my spitting and nausea. Constantly chewing on the gum made sure saliva did not build up in my mouth too. I've never carried a cup around.

As per heartburn, I have no idea cos I've never had it before or when I was pregnant. Pele

PresVA:
Our mothers may not have taken drugs but I think they took some herbals prepared for pregnant women which served same purpose as drugs we have today... Also, some mothers did take theirs. .then, it used to be given to them at the hospitals free, just to encourage them...

We have many malformed kids in Nigeria esp in the north because the babies lacked the basic nutrients they needed to form well...
Prenatal drugs are highly essential. ..
It's well

It's highly essential I know but there's lots of people who can't keep it down. A healthy diet is also key. It's highly essential you take prenatals but if you can't tolerate it, there's nothing you can do.

crystalgem:
Hi mums...have been silently following this thread and it makes so much sense.I am seven months gone already, but I can hardly use my ante natal drug cos it makes me sick,have not used any drug since have being preggy. Am very strong and my lil cutie is kicking hard. But the only problem I have is am really addicted to taking coke, I can take 3 in a day, I have tried several times to stop but cant.....please hope my baby is safe

I don't know about your doctor o. But my own OBGYN told me to stop drinking soda. When I heard I was devastated because I loved Coca Cola so much. He said it was cos of the caffeine in it and that it can cross the placenta to the baby.


Since then, all I've ever drank is water and Gatorade. But I guess soda is okay, like one bottle 2-3 times a week. That 3 bottles per day is equal to 21 bottles a week. That amount of caffeine and sugar is too much for you, not to talk of the baby. Please consider reducing it Abeg.

As per the prenatal vitamins, me sef dey skip am o. The first one I bought made me sick, my doctor prescribed another one that has B6 tablets to curb the nausea, it still makes me sick sometimes. So whenever I don't feel like dealing with nausea, I will just skip it o. Not often Sha. I heard skipping once in a while is not that bad. After all out mothers didn't take prenatals and they gave birth to us healthy.

Sorry to interrupt #thread cuties. Pls mamas in the house, does anyone have any experience with being pregnant and searching for a job? What are the chances? My husband is doing his PGd full time and I want to do something to support us financially before baby comes. Pls help!

It's tricky my sister. If you can handle the job and the morning sickness, I say go for it. I myself just got a new job, and I actually went for the interview like 4 days after I found out I was pregnant. It wasn't funny. Luckily, my employer told me to chill at home for two weeks and start the job beginning of February. That was my saving grace, cos those two weeks was like hell for me. It was the peak of my MS and some days I can't even get off the couch.

But by all means, if you can muster the strength to look for a job and attend interviews, please do. Babies are expensive and your husband needs all the help he can get financially. I pray you get a job sooner than you expect.

udoomama:
thanks so much dear, sorry for the back ache, is all pregnancy package ,was browsing and came across the round ligament pain too, is just that today's pain is unbearable, am just limping, DH said we just go to d hospital tomorrow. Will update you

Lol. Please do. Infact my doctor's office just called me back that my urine test was negative for bacteria and protein, so it means the pain was just round ligament pain. As if I didn't know before. pain wey don leave me waka, another one don replace am.

udoomama:
Congratulations to all d mama's that have put to birth, may your lo's be a blessing to your families.

To all the remaining feb mamas, wishing you a supernatural delivery.

To we still in the pushing ministry, the Lord is our strength, this heat is something else.

To the latest preggy mamas, congrats and welcome to the club, wishing you H and H 9months.

And to my dear sisters ATC, God is still in the neighborhood distributing BFP's, soon and very soon, we will all celebrate with you, awaiting your grand entrance.

My dear e sisters I have a problem, am 15weeks + and for the past 2weeks, have been experiencing this painful pelvic pain on my right side, it's more painful some days, but other days it's manageable, like today I can't put my right leg down properly, don't know what's wrong. No cramping at all. My nxt antenatal is 1st week of march.#teamAugust# #iyaibeji#

I already posted something like that previously. I had the same pain, but in my case, it was in the left pelvic side and it was damn painful. Well, the physician assistant told me to take Tylenol, put heating pad on it and rest well...... It's called round ligament pain (the ligaments holding your uterus is stretching) and the pain can be localized on the left or side side or both sides simultaneously.

The pain has stopped now and I'm now dealing with terrible back aches. You'll be fine. You can take some paracetamol or just rest.

eigmaticme:
Dear mamas, pls is it possible to start showing at 9wks? Cos everyone seems to know I am pregnant but in my last pregnancy even at 21 wks my colleagues did not know I was pregnant.

I eat breakfast BTW 9 and 10 but by 1pm I am practically shaking with hunger.

Are these normal?

You will show much faster during your second pregnancy than your first, I heard. I guess it's cos your body remembers how it is to be pregnant and things didn't really return to its original size after the first birth. Things have stretched. As per the hunger thing, please eat o. I never used to eat three square meals before. I was just not hungry enough. These days, I can't seem to get enough food in my mouth but I'm curbing it by eating healthy so I don't gain much weight. So please eat but eat healthy.

sugah:
Abeg mamas is it normal to still be having cramps at 13 weeks? I thought the cramping was only supposed to be in the early weeks.

Yes. I had pretty bad cramping yesterday. I had to run to the hospital after closer of work yesterday. After administering the necessary tests, and asking questions, the physician assistant told me it was round ligament pain. It is more pronounced from 12-20 weeks because I have entered my second trimester and the baby is growing more rapidly. The pain you're feeling is the ligaments holding your uterus stretching to accommodate the growth of the baby.... Especially if this is your first. Pele dear

Please oo, help me look into this. Every since I woke up this morning, I have been feeling some cramps on my left side. On a scale of 1-10 I'd say a 5 or 6. When I press the affected area, I feel little pain but not much. I've read about round ligament pain but I don't know if this is what they are referring to. The pain will just hook me for like 5-30 seconds leave me for like 5 minutes and come back again. Since morning.

I called my doctors office and they told me to keep an we on it and if it feels too bad, I should come in and get it checked. But I'm scared. I'm 12 weeks today...
