I swear you be clown.
How many African countries are in the desert ??

Go to New York or Arkansas during summer, p.s these states are not in the desert

It's the humidity in Arkansas that causes increased heat in the summer. It's indeed terrible. I know that first hand.

Don't mind the doctor Abeg. He just wants to make money off of you. Imagine him saying you should bring plenty money when coming to his clinic. It shows its just all about the money to him. Why not do the evacuation in the govt hospital or wherever you saw him at? Does that mean he has better equipment? Lies. I wonder why he will even ask you not to ask questions and that people in England don't ask question. He must be foolish. I had an appointment with my OB today and if you the amount of questions I asked him..... He answered every one of them one after the other. Patiently. I can imagine it will be same in England of its so in the US.

Don't go back to the OB again. Thank God you can order an ultrasound yourself in Naija. Do that and if you are declared fine, please don't bother yourself again. Just pray for your cycle to return to normal and you'll carry your baby in your arms before this year is over. It is well with you.

Good evening o. Congrats to all the mamas that have delivered. More grace to the belleful mamas. I came to give you update on my case since last week. I went for another scan in another place and still no foetus and no ectopic pregnancy either. On sun, I started spotting scantily. It was just going on and off. Tuesday it came again. Went to the health Centre nearby cos it was late in the night, they said they will not give me anything to stop d bleeding, according to them 'the pregnancy has spoilt'. Hmmmm. I Went to the hospital again today and they did another scan, still nothing. Had to do pregnancy test which still showed positive. No fibroid, said my womb is ok. That the spotting/bleeding will stop. I asked if I'm having miscarriage. Said no, that if it's miscarriage, d pain will be terrible. Cos I don't have any pain at all, just the spotting/bleeding. I am so confused right now. I don't understand at all. I am to see the OBGYN on Fri. I'll attach all the result so far. Two scans said there's cyst, d third one said there's no cyst that it's fluid. I have done 3 scans within a week, no evidence of pregnancy, 2 positive Bfp, LMP is Dec 5 and currently spotting/bleeding. Please remember me in your prayers.

According to your LMP, you should be close to 11 weeks and the fetus should at least be visible now or even at least be able to hear an heartbeat. Have you even had an ultrasound before you started spotting? You mentioned that you didn't have cramps too, just spotting. Do they give vaginal ultrasounds in Nigeria? That one is more up close and you can see what's going on inside the uterus better. I pray you find answers soon cos this kind of thing is nerve wracking

bintudon:
Please I'm admitted due to threatened miscarriage, 3month pregnant. Hope all will be fine with me. And no drip they said bed rest so they can observe the bleeding.reply please

It is well with you and your baby In Sha Allah. You will not lose him/her and people will not troop to your house to come and sympathize with you.

It is well with your soul. Have faith and your faith shall make you well.

Helo my senior mamas,i go soon dey una mist,abegt I wan ask this question before u missed your period did u knw u were pregnant or had any funny feelings.pls share ur experience before u missed ur period.
Happy val my people.

My own was:

1. Swollen foot. My feet keept swelling at every opportunity.
2. Tiredness. I was extremely tired and always it of breath. I fact, sometimes, it will be as if my nostrils is too small to take in air that I had to open my mouth to breathe.
3. I had a sudden boil that turned so painful within hours. It was so painful I nearly passed out.... It was right in my pubic area too.
4. Like 5 days before my expected period, I had sharp pains on one side of my belly. Now that I think about it, I think it was implantation pains
5. My boobs got large. Just a little and it was not painful. I was also bloated. But I thought it was the food I ate over the holidays and vacation that caused it so I was not thinking about it.
6. I was guzzling water like mad. I was so dehydrated. And I drank like 4 bottles of water in an hour. It was that crazy.

The day before and the day my period was supposed to come though, I was feeling the normal pre-period cramps that made me think my period was coming, but it never came.

FYI: your symptoms might be different from those above or you might not even feel any symptom before your missed period. Every woman is different. Just listen to your body.

I had to see gynae first coz of my past history (2 MC) so he can help monitor d pregnancy. Antenatal is important as well, they educate u on pregnancy and parenting, u get d necessary drugs as well and if u wish to see an OBGYN wen u go for antenatal u can as well, other sabi mamas can give more info on ur question as well, am also a Ftm.

Oh okay. I get it now. They have those birthing classes here too, but it's optional. The OBGYN is the one that orders tests, gives prescriptions for medications and monitors you here.

Thanks a lot for the info.

Blessedmum:
You are 4 days ahead of me my Lmp was 25th, u can get ur due date from babycentre then wen u carry out ur 1st scan u ll get d info as well. Am also waiting for 12wks before I start antenatal though am already seeing gynae. As for d MS it's nt funny at all bt I feel better today. I envy ur being able to finish d Spag o, I wish I can eat like dat. Imagine me requesting for party rice today and not able to eat it after getting it. It is well with us.

Sorry if my question sounds stupid o. Is there a difference between antenatal and seeing your OBGYN? What do they do at the antenatal abeg?

mummyife:

Blessedmum:
Congrats to d latest mothers, may God bless the little angels. I wish other Feb mamas supernatural delivery. To other preggy mamas we ll all carry to term ijn.
My sexy team September mamas, how's it going? Hope Ms is reducing gradually, am already seeing a little improvement here and seriously counting down to d end of first trimester, can't wait to be a sexy preggy mama.

Mine is playing poker with me. Some days I will be fine and be happy I'm finally getting over MS, other days ehn.... To go to work is a struggle. I even threw up on day while I was driving to work, thank God I had a thrash bag. Throwing up and driving I can't wait for this first trimester to be over. I am tired!

Chinwendym:
Logging in now to see that I have been trending

Is it guilty conscience or pregnancy hormones? I don't give a rat assz

I didn't mention any names nor was I insulting with what I wrote.

Having been married for over a decade! I've come to realize that in-laws are never a battle you can win so why bother going into one?

That you have your DH support isn't enough! One day he will resent you for it.

Before I react to what ever my mil does wrong to me I first of all put my mum in her position! How will I feel if a Sil talks back at my mum? Instantly I swallow the urge to react and do that which she requires of me.

My husband happen to be an only child in the midst of several step sisters and brothers! Yet! When I couldn't conceive for 10years! It was this woman that kept going from one mountain to the other! Fasting and praying FOR ME hence my saying tufiakwa! That I speak ill of her.

(from the comments my mention received I see she is a rare gem and I bless God for that)

We are here to talk about pregnancy why derail it! I get the once in a while venting but we should know when not to over do it! Many visitors come here too who are not registered so let's keep it neat.

Sayoddy my apologies if you feel my comment was a jab at you it wasn't my intention I was only thinking out loud(cwazy me )

Inodeyfearu its funny you say you no dey fear me but you had to go use an old moniker to reply me and my mention happen to be your very first post on NL?
Fear fear like you! Thunder fire your left yansh! Come back and introduce yourself properly then I can take you serious

MamaOO I comment my reserve your pregnancy is still young keep that surging energy you are going to need it


My mil is so awesome and I pray Ekene brings home a girl that will call me awesome some day


Sorry house for the epistle

Thanks. My pregnancy is young but it will be full term. In Sha Allah. I see no correlation betwee how far along I am and the matter we all talked about. You be winsh? Abeg oo.

lioha:
I never buy anything at all.

my leg the swell baaaad , is any one experiencing it?

Mine did. But very early on. I was on a plane from Dubai to Los Angeles which was a 16 hour flight. By the time we got to our destination, my feet plus ankles were swollen times three..... I swear, I'm not kidding. I could not walk at all. That was what actually triggered my suspicion about being pregnant.

The doctor at my OBGYN appt warned me that it's gonna continue. And even get worse as I progress. He told me not to sit around for too long and keep it moving. I suggest you do that too

Chinwendym:
Never knew this preggie thread has turned to mils and fils bashing thread?

Why in the world will I speak so low of my mil no matter what she may have done to me?

A woman who gave birth to my darling husband? Tufiakwa I never talk back at my mum how much more my mil. Smh

Get off your high horse madam. Please walk in their shoes before you judge anybody. The fact that you have a good MIL does not give you the right to speak down on anybody.

Personally, I have had no friction with my MIL, we live thousands of miles away from each other....but reading people's experiences with their in-laws here has given me an insight about what could go right and wrong in dealing with your in-laws and how to deal with it.

Who here has called their in-laws names or cussed them out? Abeg, park well and let us see front jor

Beebee12:
I'm a first time mom-to-be, the time of the year doesn't seem to matter to me. I just so excited that I'm pregnant.
But I would rather prefer to have my baby in August.
I wish you all the best

I am too. Very excited. Cos this happened when I was not even consciously trying it paying mind to it. God just decided to give me a new year gift

But the California heat is enough for you to dread the summer months, I tell you. Anyways, I can't wait to see him or her!

sugah:
He who kpekuses in winter shall expect a summer baby

September mamas celebrated Christmas well ooo.

Lol, IKR . And they warned me o. But the winter kpekus is the ish!

Beebee12:
Any late August or early September mom-to-be in the house? Let's talk about pregnancy and preparing for motherhood. I'm due first week of September

I am too, due first week of September. So excited about everything, but not excited to be pregnant during the summer
