Mandysmum, the palpitation could be as a result of low blood sugar or low pcv. Hoping it's nothing serious that requires ECG. Good night

I pray so too. I can't shout abeg.

helovesme:
Your doctor is not an olodo. He actually knows his onions.

Heart palpitations in pregnancy should any be taken lightly as it could be a sign of an underlying pregnancy related medical condition.

Asking you to get an ECG done in the right thing. The test takes no more than 30 mins and it's literally an ultrasound of the heart/valves and your heart rhythm is also listened to and plotted on a graph.

Please get an ECG done ASAP and keep an eye on the palpitations.

Now you are scaring me!

I called my doctor olodo cuz he didn't ask any questions about my symptoms and the like. No checking of BP or blood test. He just mockingly told me that I should go and plan for an ECG. But with your words, I think I have to take it more seriously.

Thanks.

One last hit before I turn in for the night...


Mamas, abeg is it normal to have a pulling kinda sensation in your vaggie during pregnancy? Sometimes I have this sudden sensation down there as if someone is trying to steal my clits.

Then again, these days my heart starts palpitating for no reason. It comes as sudden as it goes. One minute my heart is beating as if I heard the trumpet sound,next thing it is gone. Am I the only one experiencing this? I asked my olodo doctor and all he could tell me was if I can afford an ECG. I was like huh! Am I dying?

zaynie:
You didn't need to mention my name, your subtle words did it for you.
I threw it in your face cos the way you said the clique thing like it was a sin or an offence. It isn't.
It's only right that I should feel defensive when you generalize, kindly mention names when you need to say something. I don't do "some", "all"
Derail the thread? When the mods are snooping around, you fit?
You women?....... Ermmmmmm, pray tell what are you? .
I see say e pain you so I no go talk too much.
And I can't lose my temper over you, I made it known before that I don't know you from Adam. I don't do e-fights .


Just try to mention names when you feel the need to enter "Presiding Judge" mode.
See how I quoted you? so there's no mistaking who I'm referring to.

You know, your biting sarcasm isn't attractive at all. If my post struck a nerve, hey! Don't blame me. I am not responsible for people's consciences. I made my opinion and you have no right to tell me how to go about it and who to name. If you succeed elsewhere in bullying people, you ve come to the wrong place here. If you can't show me where I subtly insinuated anything about YOU,then please stop quoting me with your silly assumptions.

"Presiding judge?" You really have an attitude.

See how I quoted you? Now you know I am talking to you.

No further comments from me to you. Cheers

zaynie:
Did you not see how many times I have cautioned them?
Are you being obtuse or do you want to bring me into the whole drama?
Please mention names when you want to throw shades, I don't do side remarks.


If Ahnie can show she'll tell you how many times I've asked her to let go offline. It will be very difficult for me to reach any of them from my end to theirs physically to collect their phones o, abeg especially as today is too important for me to immerse myself in all these mud play.
I was busy all through yesterday and today.
GraciousCharis, when you saw me yesterday what did I look like? I was embarrassed to stand beside her sef cos she too fine

I have friends here, good friends.
I have a clique, strong one. Very strong sef, if e pain you abeg form your own clique too. No one is stopping you.
My clique is not the only clique here o, there are plenty cliques..... Plenty!

Please I've had an amazing day controlling my temper with the people who live with me, don't let me lose it with someone I don't even know from Adam.
Abeg.... Read well before making accusations.

* takes a deep breath*

Madam, anyone reading your post would automatically assume my initial post was made in your name. Please, where did I mention your name,in any way or by insinuation, in my post? You talked about bringing you into the drama? Madam,how please? Just embolden where I did so in my post and I will give an official apology which I will recommend to be taken to the front page to shame me even.

I am glad you have a clique. I am glad you submitted that there are various cliques here. What I find distasteful is you throwing it in my face that I should find and form mine becuz 'e pain me'. Seriously? Is this how you women speak to people in reality?

I didn't accuse you of anything so stop claiming that I made accusations. Your defensiveness only makes you seem quarrelsome, and I won't stoop to being a derailer of this great thread. Not even you is worth being banned over.

Keep controlling your anger. You will only waste your time if you lose it over me.

Lest I forget, my post wasn't to shade anyone. I ve gone through the entire saga and I made my opinion known based on the subsequent comments of all the parties involved. If you feel shaded, it goes to show what and who you are. Cheers.

curvilicious:
Yayyyyy i cannot wait cos they refuse to stop let mod stop them

Ps i believe if everybody jump nd pass this matter for don die natural death but some just choose to continue dragging.

Mama AlphaHandMaiden, i love ur reply to that lady/oga as regards sexless child. God bless you ma

The new moniker above needs to be banned.

OMG! A mod notorious for banning is viewing this thread. Let the ban commence

rollykotex:
lets digress a bit.....

mamas, i have had serious problem shaving down there because of my growing Tummy and back ache,i can hardly bend. I use veet hair removal but i can hardly see what in applying and mirror hasn't helped me much. i don't like keeping a bushy below and im sure hubby wont really be cool with it too.

I spoke to my friend about it and she said her hubby does the shaving whenever she's pregnant and sometimes when he wants to indulge her. in her words" after all,its his workshop so he's always welcome there to do whatever he likes."
It sounds somehow to me asking hubby to shave me,dunno how he'll react sha if i tell him but its kinda funny.

so my question is,how do you mamas shave with ur bulging tummy and whats your take about hubby doing the shaving. Pls share your opinion. Thank u in advance.

Hubby and I switch roles already in the shaving department since our dating days. I barb his hair,trim his beards and shaves armpits and down south. He does same for me. So shaving me when I get big is no biggie. I even intend to make him shave me right before labour, before one over zealous nurse will go and spoil my designer style for me down there.

Trust me,it is an enjoyable experience. You can make it more fun by offering to shave his armpits and his kini...

belladsweet:
Lol wow thanks Hi teamie hope baby is kicking fine? May we carry to term IJN.

A big Amennnnn. You still enjoying no MS abi?

Wifeysist:
Thank you so much for saving me the stress of repeating another long episode of what I said the last time, I wish the mods can do something or I should just unfollow.

The urge to unfollow is really strong but if you weigh the pros and cons of doing that, the answer is staring you in the face. Asides the stupidity being displayed here for some days now, this thread is invaluable. Let's just wait it out. These silly mamas will tire or ban will overtake them. Something has gotta give.

Meanwhile, a big shoutout to Mama RoseeyO on her wedding anniversary. So many that started the journey of marriage with you have sad tales to tell,but God has kept you and DH together till now. May you celebrate 80 more years together, to see your grandkids and great grand kids. Amen.

Mama RoseeyO,I am still puking my guts out oo.. No Sunday rice for me today sef. Ayaff tire biko

belladsweet:
By the way, what manner of fukkere*y is happening here? some people really need to get a life outside Nairaland. So many classless women here. mtscheew...

Babe, I ve picked an interest in you. I went through most of your topics and posts, and I must say we share almost similar lives,including your pregnancy journey. We are even in the same EDD month. So,hello teamie.

I started following this thread cuz of the timeless advice and notes many mamas give here. The love and unity displayed here especially during the beyedew/kelizosuy episodes and iyomomoreloaded's fate really moved me enough to want to be among this family. Heck,I came out of guest mode and registered just to be able to contribute when I can.

The show of shame amongst some women is just appalling. The annoying thing is the obvious presence of a clique here who attack anyone who is against their beloved,even if she is obviously wrong. The height of this drama is the inability of a particular mama to have a forgiving spirit and just let go. Attacks and counter attacks has ruined this thread for me, and I am almost regretting following it in the first place. Imagine the hate and venom being thrown at innocent and blameless kids. God forbid!

Ironically, some respected and mature mamas have refused to call these erring women to order. Is this proof of a clique thing in this thread?

Ilyfavoured:
Saabi mamas. Good morning o. This thought has been bugging me lately and need advise on how to go about it. NO JUDGING PLEASE IF YOU GOT NOTHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY JUST WAKA PASS.
In this type of environment and with our culture is it possible to raise a child 'genderless' i.e the child won't be referred to as either a boy or a girl till the child is of age to decide what he/she wants to be. I know it's gonna be tough, the child will be dressed in unisex outfit initially afterwards as the mother deems fit, will do whatever you the child wants or as the spirit directs. Do we think it's possible and won't backfire?

It should be possible if you intend to homeschool your child for some years, and you aren't a religious person ie frequent church goer/mosque goer. Also, it would be very possible if you don't have in-laws and family relatives who will always want to drop one 'friendly hint' on how to bring up your child.

Any thing short of these is just courting disaster. Rather than being genderless, why not instil the goodness of humanity in your child? If a boy, teach him to value women and respect elders. If a girl, teach her to be an empowered and independent entity. We have enough mannerless and ill brought up kids that call themselves men and women these days, consequences of the myopic mindset of our mothers. I intend to change the next generation through my kid.

Just my two kobo sha. The buck still stops at your table.

Roseey0:
Try pap too
Oats
Goldenmorn
Biscuit and tea
Epele

Thank you for your suggestions.

HolySteph:
No dear it wouldn't affect the well being of your LO. Just make sure your folic intake is as often as anything. Try take liquids( I didn't mean water alone. Something that cn be easily digested like : watermelone juice, blended avocado, milk.. I took soymilk tho,) okra worked for me, roasted plantain with fish worked for me too.
I'm not guaranteeing you a 100% MS escape but something to manage yourself during this trying time. Yh... Ginger tea in the mornings too.
Just manage, you'll scale through.

Thanks a bunch. I just finished vomiting now sef. Second time this morning already.

I will give the liquids a try. I am very desperate at this point.

Roseey0:
Welcome mama
It will end in praise IJN.

Just keep trying to see foods that will definitely stay and not cause you to throw up. Incorporate fruits and vegetables. Sorry dear. Let's hope it will soon end as you are about to cross over to second trimester.
For the drugs_ am wondering why your doc prescribed the two. They contain almost same thing, just different brand. Taking both seems like overdose to me. But still ask for reconfirmation.
I use to put my prenatal inside eba then when I couldn't deal. Just find a way. Baby and your body needs all the vitamins it can get presently.

Welcome
Happy bumping

It seems I have an olodo doctor. I also had same thoughts when I got his prescription. Both drugs contain same thing and perform same function. Who knows if that's what triggered the whole vomiting saga.

Ordinarily, I hate taking drugs and can do anything to avoid swallowing pills. Injections are and have always been a better option for me. Imagine my dismay when they dashed me two giant sized bitter tasting pills. Chi m oo. Before I stopped taking the drugs,I was folding them in fufu to swallow but it still didn't help matters. I just tire.

As for foods,I ve tried everything. From fruits to bread, to swallow to indomie, to even ice cream. Nothing stays. I am starting to panic cuz I don't know if it will affect the well being of the baby.

Good morning mummies in the house. I ve been an ardent follower of this thread since I missed my period, and I must confess you guys have been a great help to me and many other peeping Tinas in guest mode. I have a huge problem and I just had to register to ask the house.

Abeg Mamas, I can't eat anything oo. Everything I put into my mouth comes out immediately,including the folic acid and prenatals. I have even stopped taking the drugs cuz it only amounts to waste. These days I am scared of eating cuz the exertion used in vomiting is very painful. I am 11 weeks today and this nonsense started just last week. All this time, I was jonzing myself that I was blessed with no morning sickness but alas, my father's people had plans for me.

Again, has anyone had any immediate reaction to Natabiol and Pregnacare? I had issues with my baby in the first few weeks and had to be put on strict bed rest. Thank God it ended in praise. However the doctor prescribed the aforementioned drugs to help in supplements but the moment I perceived the odour of Natabiol, the urge to vomit became worse than ever. Since then,I have not looked back in my vomiting journey. Hubby has even seized both drugs from me for now,pending my next visit to the hospital. Abeg na only me waka come for this matter?

Mamas,help a semi starving me. I am scared this hunger strike will affect my baby. Just last night, hubby worriedly commented on my loss of weight in just three days. Please help me.

*Excuse me,I want to go and vomit my empty stomach out*

Lest I forget, I am a June mama and also a FT mum. EDD is June 4th/6th.
