herbal care? What are the herbs for? Its better to be careful about what you take in pregnancy oh. I will not advice anyone to take herbal medicine on a good day let alone in pregnancy. We do not know their chemical content and if they pose any danger to the baby. Its better to err on the side of caution oh.

please, can someone send me a copy of the maggi e-book. My email is mightlovemm@gmail.com

mine lasts for 6weeks that is a month and 2 weeks and i dont cook lunch except for weekends.

hey all, welcome to all newbies.
@agaba and ikeking, una no go kill person with laughter.
@nonny and HG: congrats on d loss.
@modath:well done oh
@ronky: congrats oh.take it one day at a time and u will soon realise you are done.
Please, for those who idid not mention, bear with me.
@all:i will try and see what i can do again this weekend. I have not been feeling too well and so decided to take it easy with myself. I thought i was done with nausea and all the sickness but nausea surprised me again oh. At about 18 weeks, i am still battling with nausea and sick feelings so i'll try whenever i can to do what i can do.
Have a great weekend all.

ikekings: Very huge for me... I can't even finish one cup...

@ikeking, are you sure u cant finishing 1 cup? The 1 cup i believe is measured after cooking and not before its cooked oh. So better put, 2 cups of cooked fried rice(measured after cooking).

dayounce: Abeg what position did the Eghove family take?

green came 1st
efiokwu came 2nd
eghove came 3rd

berem: you have said it all! I wonder what happened to the "Zain University Challenge" dunno if I got it right.that was my best programme so far!

Do you still have zain in Nigeria?abi u no know say na airtel now?

congrats on your weightloss babe, wow, that is a great feat.

lol HG, its too easy i guess. It has always been too easy for me, i only use iit when am ill and just recovering and for now, i think its just ok since i dont need anything jumpy jumpy. Which site did u download it from and how much did it cost? I dont mind downloading some videos oh.

@HG:i dont think pap is wholegrain again oh because of the processing it goes throug which removes d outermost part of the grain. If it was taken without been sieved, then i thing it would be counted as whole grain. There is one packaged gyero powder i buy, its called kunun tsamiya, that one the gyero ground into very smoooth powder along with the back,tsamiya has been added to it to give it a very nice sour taste so i enjoy that one alot. I only see it in shops/department stores in the north and abuja though.

@irano: good for you girl, and congrays on the weight loss. Welcome to the forum.
@HG:am back too, full back by God's grace.
Now i have some energy for exercise cos i can eat much better and drink more water now. The weakness has also eased considerably. I have resumed light/low impact cardio with strength training and shall log whenever i can.
Have a good day all.
Logs for yesterday 20/9/2012
16 minutes on the elliptical, 100 bicep curls and 50 tricep extensions. U am going to concentrate more on toning so i do loose all the muscles i have worked so hard to get. That is not to say i will not do cardio.

congrats blank, may God keep him and may he bring you joy always.

@cuteruth:congrats
@pinkydiasy:why not see a doctor, if there is anything you are not sure of. They will explain better to you especially if you meet one that is very friendly with his/her patients.

@info genius and bikay: congrats on the birth of your LO.
@bikay:who are those your 'enemies' that told you once you have a C-section you can never have natural birth again? They are obviously very ignorant, cos i have heard about so many cases of natural birth after a c-section. It is called VBAC. You can google and read about it, its very common and happens every now and again.

thanks again everybody.
HG:thanks jare HG. I will try my best oh and take your advice on fruits cos its very important oh. Right now, the only ones i can stand are apples, have been eating lots of them lately. I have been craving guavas seriously.will look out for them too.

Modath:thanks for the wishes and compliments. Maybe u should try the ones that trim and trendy sells.
I wish i could send you my copies.
@taitee:when was your birthday please? Happy birthday in arrears dear.

wooooow, congrats mogbomoya. May God keep him and provide that u will use to bring him up.
Ohhhh, why didnt he come on the 15th now, 15th was my birthday oh.

why not? Btw, are those the only passages you saw in the bible? Moreover these scriptures have more deeper and spiritual meanings and not just the carnal meaning you are reading to it.

thank you so much everyone for your wishes. Awww, i feel so loved.
LO is doing very well oh.
Sent you all the edrinks, cakes and d likes. Hope u all got them, lol.
Can you guys imagine that i couldnt even enjoy eating anything on my birthday, everything i tried tasted so strange. And i so planned to indulge fa. Anyway, ended up with between 1500 to 1700 calories (by my calculation). Chei, this is not funny oh.

hey people how are we all doing?
Today is my birthday. Celebrate with me!

yes,why not.

@fantababy: i feel so sad you have to go through all this extra emotional stress in additio to that of pregnancy. Infact ,y eyes were filled with tears as i read you post cos no woman deserves such ttreatment. Was it your hubby against you people having this baby in the 1st place? I cant understand why he is so insensitive. All i can say is that you just take things easy, pray and ask God for wisdom to be able to address this. He needs to know how much you are hurting both physically and emotionally. You need to sit him down and talk to him prayerfully. The earlier he know how badly you feel the better so that he can at least, try to correct the wrong he has done. Pele dear.

agiboma: Thanks for all the well wishes everyone im just planning my course of action. Talking to my parientologist in Toronto and planning my return home for a bit. , Im trying to channel positive healing energy this time around and I know g-d will make it a different experience for me this time.

amen. It will be different by His grace

congrats agiboma.wish u a stress free pregnancy

@babs:thanks oh. Amen!

blank: With my first baby, i had a small tummy and thus a small baby. Now, everyone is on my case for me to eat as if i am deliberatly trying to starve. I have a better appetite now than i had then yet the tummy is still small. All the food i eat go to my own body. I have added 10kg wich is 1kg more than the last one and i am not close to term yet. These people shld leave me alone jor.

Everyone (extended family members) who visit bring enough soup and pounded yam to feed my street. I eat it o but they still feel i am not eating. Abeg, i don tire for food.

hello blank. I dont see any reason why you should over eat just to get a big tummy oh.that your tummy is small does not mean u will have a small baby and how small is the small u are talikng about here? For me, if you intend to have natural birth, its better to have a baby that is not so big.once children are born, just give them a few weeks and they grow so so chubby, eccept if its in their narure to be small.
Please make sure you eat enough food for you and to cater for the needs of the growing baby in you and once your are ok, do not let anyone force u to overeat. I have a sister that has never had a big tummy during pregnancy. By the time people start noticing she is pregnant, she is ready to give birth in her ninth month but she has never had small babies, infact her last last baby has to be taken out thru c-section cos the baby was over 4kg but she never had a big tummy. I guess she just ate some things that made the baby to put on so much weight so please watch it. But dont starve yourself oh.
