Cc cappo Comtem2011 Talltosyne

Friday July 20th, I lost my mucous plug and I knew labor was getting pretty close. I was so excited that the next day, I rushed off to make my delivery hair. Entered market to get things to make zobo for the house, got extra supplies of my son's cereal, milk and diaper. I told dh and my mum that labor would come before Tuesday. But no one was taking me and my labor ish serious anymore, due to the previous two false alarms. I got home and ate lots of pineapple core and used the leftover to prepare my zobo. Dh was even preparing to travel back to Lagos to attend to work. That Saturday night, I woke up with that feeling of something about to pop out of my vjay. I wiped and didnt see anything. Woke up again, same thing. So I danced and jumped a little in the toilet to see if it'll pop out. I thought it was more mucous plug about to fall out. I went back to bed.
4.30am, I heard one large popping sound and gush. The whole bed was flooded with thick water. I jumped up and woke dh up. He was surprised to see water all over the bed. I told him my water has broken. Went to wake mum up and she screamed "Jesus Jesus", as if na person die.
She was surprised I wasn't in pains. I even took my time to brush and wear beta cloth before we drove down. The hospital I registered fell my hand. First they did a painful VE and said my cervix is closed. How?? Contractions had already started setting in. They did a CTG and they said i'm not having contractions. Say what? I asked for my gynae and they said he has plenty emergencies to attend to. One lanky doctor walked in and was telling the midwives that this is the lady that has done two previous CS and she has been scheduled for an Emergency Csection. I said who are you talking about? Mum was already getting pissed. My gynae finally came out and changed mouth that its CS straight. I asked him what happened to all his sweet talks about giving me a chance at Vbac? He said since my waters has broken, infection can set in immediately so they hàve to section me asap.
Mum don vex already. She said oya, let's go to our family hospital.
We rushed down there with my waters still trickling and contractions getting more intense. As we stepped in, I met my very close friend. She was one of the gynae there and my angel doctor.
Immediately they took me to labour ward. Checked and said I was 4cm dilated. Monitored baby's heartbeat for a while and then she decided to do an enema. I asked what it was. And she explained its to help me progress faster but the pains will be more intense after it's done. I was like, bring it on. Poor me, I didn't know what was in store for me.
They did it and I pooed three times. The last poo trip I almost fell on the floor while returning to my bed. The craziest pain ever started. I had experienced labor before but this one was extraordinary. My waist was on fire. I couldn't help but screaming, snap my fingers, pull my hair, grabbed the nurses hands and beg them to help me. I was shouting anyhow. "My waist is on fire. Rub my waist. Hit it. Stop gisting. I need an epidural. Doctor help me. Mummy pls how did you bear your own? Women are suffering. What did women do to deserve this. This pain will kill me. Baby pls come out. What are you waiting for?".
My pain threshold is zero man. I hate pain. I thought I could bear it. It wasn't easy. Dh came and was asking how i'm feeling. I said don't ask me questions, rub my waist.
A nurse came to tell me that it looks like its my mum that is in labor, with the way she was acting outside. I felt so bad. When mum walked in, I tried my best to be calm for her. Kolewerk. When I finally got to 8cm after 2hrs, one nurse mistakenly said in 30mins I should be ready to push. I started checking time. 2:30pm, I never reach 10cm. I was so mad.
After a while, I was fully dilated and asked to push. Pushing was even mild compared to pain of contractions. I pushed with all my strength. I pushed thrice and my angel doc asked me to stop and stepped outside. I didn't know my princess was coming out with her face. Damn!
My angel doc said she doesn't want to risk anything happening to my baby at this stage, cus she will never forgive herself. Off we went to the theatre. Inside the theatre, I was hysterical. Asking plenty unnecessary questions about the type of anaesthesia, injections, bla bla bla. They had to knock me out and perform the CSection. Baby came out weighing 4kg with balloon cheeks.
I was happy I tried my best to give Vbac a shot. And i'm also happy mother and baby are alive to tell and hear the story.

Say hello to Gabrielle!

BS Part 1

When I discovered I was pregnant again, I never experredit. But I was excited all the same. A lot of persons told me no two pregnancies are the same, so I was looking forward to an MS-free pregnancy. But I was greatly disappointed.
The first three weeks was awesome. And then the vomiting and spitting set in. I couldn't take any swallow. I couldn't take semi-solids, couldn't take milk, and eventually, I couldn't take water. I had to travel back to stay with my folks for proper care. I couldn't cope with MS and a hyperactive toddler.
The MS became worse. And then I remembered a wonder drug I was given with my first pregnancy that stopped the MS in 24hrs.
The search began. Dh searched and searched for the drug but couldn't find it. My doc said it was out of stock in their hospital and his supplier couldn't find it as well. Hay God! We searched for weeks, called everyone we knew to search pharmacies around them. All this while, I was losing weight. I started the pregnancy at 66kg but dropped to 55kg in my first trimester. It was crazy. I could only manage to eat once a day and that was about 11pm. I'll quickly soak small garri with little groundnut, then rush off to bed before I vomit it. That was my only meal of the day. Water, zero! Drugs, zero!
I was looking forward to 2nd trimester so I can get some relief, but I was disappointed again. MS dealt with me for 4months. Fortunately a friend asked me to search a pharmacy in Abuja and I found it.

He bought the last sachet. When the drug was finally waybilled to me, it was like I had struck gold. I held it like an egg, kissed it sef. Lol. The next day after taking the Navidoxine my vomiting stopped. At last! Food aversions was still there but it kept improving. I could tolerate some meals. I didn't look like a sack of bones anymore.

Fastfoward to my 3rd trimester, I started feeling a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen, plus intense braxton hicks. I complained and they said its all preparation for labor. At 34weeks, the pain was so intense that i realized I was having regular contractions. We rushed to the hospital and they said my cervix was still closed but I was given some meds to prevent premature labor.
But the contractions continued, this time, irregular. It was always worse in the evenings.
I managed it till I got to the almighty 37weeks. And then I became anxious to see my baby. I had spoken with my doctor and he was willing to give me a chance at Vbac, only if baby does not exceed 3.5/3.6kg.
I began taking long walks, took pineapples, zobo, downloaded some labor dance videos. But all it gave me was false contractions. The real deal wasn't here. I began getting scared, because baby was packing on weight, reducing my chances of a Vbac.
July 19th Thursday, i decided to walk longer than usual. When I got home, I began having severe cramp extending to my lower back. We monitored it till 12am but it was getting intense. I was literally crawling on the floor.
So we rushed down to the hospital. As soon as we go there, the yeye contractions disappeared. They did a CTG test and said I wasn't having contractions. So I was sent back. Kai! Second time. This time, my mum said she wouldn't step out of the house again until she sees baby's head coming out. Lol

Thanks already

I think your baby is just a little lower than the standard size chart. Just try and increase your protein intake, eat healthy. This is the time when baby will pack on the weight. But I wouldn't worry too much though, as ultrasounds can be a bit off sometimes. Just see your doc and hear from him first

BarrONLS:
Good morning my beautiful mummy's, congratulations to us all, pls I want to ask, what is the importance of this baby hanger? Can't baby clothes be hung on the normal line for adult clothes after washing ? Please I really want to know

Personally, baby hanger is extremely useful for me. Because sometimes the clothes might not get dried on time before nightfall, so instead of packing them off the line, I just carry the baby hanger to my verandah and take it out again the next day to dry completely. Its more convenient, in my opinion, not like its wrong to use normal clothing line

Rhemy2013:
Home made beans

My favourite food!!!

Yuneehk:
Ehya. Sorry about that I'm very good at making puff puff but terrible with Buns(I never get it right). Can you please give me your recipe for buns preparation? Thanks

This is how I make mine:

In a clean bowl, add all your dry ingredients (sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, pinch of salt, nutmeg, margarine at room temperature).

Mix thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, whisk your egg and add your milk.

Pour into your flour mixture, mix thoroughly with hands until the batter is smooth and stretchy. Cover and set aside for a few minutes.
If you want the rock hard buns sold in the streets, make sure your batter is thick. The thicker the batter, the easier it is to mold into perfect round balls.
I don't like very hard buns so my batter is always light.

NB: I use lots of milk in mine because I love rich pastries. But you can leave out the milk(replace with warm water) and even leave out the eggs, as you wish.

Update: Old picture of buns I made some months back. My buns are usually shapeless because I prefer using a light batter rather than a thick one.

GoTV:
Why cry wolf when there is none? Your exaggeration skills is amazing. What deadly insults did i rain on anyone? You're blind to heavy curses laid on me by zaynie and co just because they're women like you abi? Many of you running your mouth here now could hardly handle a relationship break up during courtship let alone a failed marriage. It's easy to commonize what i went through. I don't know you and i never mentioned you. Your background hatred for me made you spew this obvious lies

#Ignored

zaynie:
Congrats mama.
God bless the newborn.

Mitchyy

Wow!!! Congrats boldbabe. Can't wait to read your BS

jummiefoodie:
They know you would have eaten half in the kitchen.
Manage the three, lol
Btw, you really tried being your first attempt

Thank you jare. Don't mind haters like liftedhands.

Maybe because they know I don't really like puffpuff. If it was buns, I would have hidden it all in my room

Liftedhands:
Buns again? I've told you you are a pancake fan you don wanna hear! Na Enkay and zee be buns Pepo

By the way which junction you go buy this puff puff?
You chatter keke Abi Okada?

You think i'm like you?

Sansa143:

Next time stop tempting us . I had gotten the puffpuff ingredients since Saturday but didn't have the motivation to give it a try. I thought i'll fail woefully. Lol

jummiefoodie:
Waiting patiently

How can I fry a bowl of puffpuff this evening and this is the only "thing" they left for me?
I need a new set of family members

BTW, this is my first set attempt at puffpuff. I'm a buns fan

Liftedhands:
Don't put your hopes high o! Mitchyy must have slept off

See how you want to disgrace me on National TV ehn

jummiefoodie:
Done

And you ladies just made me vex and fry my own puffpuff too . Food section won't wound me o.

Picture loading....

Tellemall:
This food thread is so interesting. The food is inspiring.

But something observed. It has to be said.

After attacking and abusing him with the intent that he should die for his contrary views/offenses, after plainly telling him that he's useless (no names mentioned here) some people who did so are pretending to care.

Human beings are so two-faced.

Why not always extend the soft words in the first place instead of going aggro, when you know that in the end you'll have to act like you're sorry?
After the reggae play the blues.


People react over nothing in here. So much insulting over food.



This is how everybody hated ewa26 for nothing. Does anybody know where he is? Or did you kill him with your words before you could act like you care?

Back to topic.

Did you read the whole epistle from the beginning? Did you see the deadly insults he also dished out to people here? What if those people also attempt to commit suicide over his brutal words? Or you think he is the only one going through a phase in his/her life?

What is wrong is wrong, no sugarcoating. Those people trying to be soft with him are doing so because they have a humane side. Nobody is happy to see a fellow human commit suicide.

There is no need to be raining abuses on anyone here over food matter. You can always waka pass if something doesn't suit you.
Let's stick to our food matter biko.

comtem2011:
e no small o, e big. Na mitchyy give u mouth to dey talk now.

anyways, I comment my reserve for her.

Hehehehehe. My darling cappo. You know i'm loyal

FloraEC:

Djbond:
My wife has given birth to a baby girl. Congratulate me. Glory be to God

Wowwwww! Congratulations to your family. Please send our greetings to her and your newborn!!!

Adayoung:
Please oh experienced mamas, what are the essential things to buy especially if u are on a budget

First things I usually buy is what is on my hospital list. Extremely important.

Rofemiguwa, your BS just made me burn my rice. I read it over and over again. Its just like a movie . Choi! Thank God for safe delivery.
Ive also been having false contractions and severe pain in my pelvis that feels like menstrual cramps. But when I sleep, it goes away. The timing is irregular. Abeg make I nor born for house too o

StrongWoman333:
Ehen mamas here dont mind what people are saying concerning your pregnancy just pray. All the special advicers that kept saying drinking cold water will affect my baby, its a big lie. Mamas enjoy yourselves with as much as you can if that is the only one that can stay especially for those having morning sickness. They also told me that climbing bike will affect my baby including wearing trousers in pregnancy.

I couldn't stop laughing. A lot of these things actually have no effect on baby. But the truth is, that trouser thing showed me o.
I was always wearing trousers though the band isn't tight but elastic. One woman made me stop immediately, saying it might prevent baby from dropping. After I did, I noticed that in the next few weeks her head was coming down to my pelvis. That was when I started waddling. Though I didn't want to believe her, but she said I can see the evidence for myself. She asked me to stick to gowns and leggings

Hannydimples:
Mamas, I love you all scatter and I'm grateful to God that my husband dragged my bombom to join this thread. My original able cappo and second cappo Ayauche and FloraEC, I appreciate both of una. You guys are too much, thank you very much for everything, from encouragement to advice and all. To everyone here, may God give us joy overflow and to every woman still looking for a miracle, the lord that will meet you at the point of your need. If not for drip that is in my hand, I would have typed my BS. Here is the photo of my handsome oyinbo prince.

Oh my!!! He is just too cute. Such a handsome boy. No wonder he took his time to bake very well. I can't stop staring. Congratulations on safe delivery. May he continually be a blessing to your family

Djbond:
House has anyone ever experienced this kind of situation before or know what we can do about it. Please I'm scared and my wife too is scared. We just did a scan today and it's the 3rd scan and the date is changing at each scan. This 3rd scan shows it's remaining a month and one day to complete 9 months. Please we are confused. Doctors specialists in the house please help

There is no reason to fear. Estimated due dates (EDD) calculated from late pregnancy scans can be incorrect.
Her due date can get less accurate the more pregnant she gets. Doctors usually work with your EDD calculated using your (LMP) Last Menstrual Period. Scan done within the first two-three months of the pregnancy are usually more accurate. If she doesn't remember her last menstrual period date, then the doctor relies on the EDD given by the very first scan she did.
But if her EDD dates now are wildly apart from her EDD previously calculated, as in, if the difference between both dates is too much, then you should talk to your doctor. But I don't think you have any reason to fret. It happens to almost all pregnant women.
The last scan I did gave me July 7th as my EDD, compared to my original EDD of August 2nd. The reason for the huge difference is because my baby's fetal length is really long. The sonographer said she is really tall. And fetal length is one of the factors used in calculating EDD. So it messed up my date. So please tell wifey to relax ehn
