enkaydewdrop:

Emerald22:
Hahaha, see wickedness. @ mitchyy, if I were u I'll pretended I didn't see anything.

Thank God i saw this warning before i scrolled to the pic. I wont even bother scrolling up again.
Mum genyebere is looking for who to punish this night with food pic. I jump her pass

My teamie, nor be my fault o. Na as e dey do me. I might not even port at the end sef, so all this might just be initial gra gra

mubzay:
@mitchyy: baby has engaged. Wishing u a supernatural delivery.

Aha!!! Thank you jare. My team july teamies will soon break my head with this my craving for early delivery

Mumjb:
wen ur stomach looks a bit lower or u feel pressure inside ur vjay is a sign dat baby has engaged or u can go for a scan to be sure dat baby has engaged

Thanks Mumjb. When i went for a scan last week, i was asking if he can check if baby is engaged and he was looking at me like i just spoke spanish. I had to even explain the meaning of baby being engaged to the dummy.

iomoge2:
Chia, and I just prepared nice ogbono soup with dry fish. Promo. Stock fish. Beef n crayfish.... Bitterleaf n ugu.
Just ate one bowl of eba n lo has been dancing.... Lol
Who wants a plate of soup.

After eating and washing my hand. I remembered I haven't had my drugs today.... And eba done finish. Lol

If i enter that your kitchen ehn, i'll just pick all the meat, pomo and stockfish chop since i dont eat eba.
Abeg dont post pics o before you'll kill some food lovers this night

enkaydewdrop:
After Awoyaya na Mayfair, after Mayfair na my Junction...

But we no know who we go ask...

Weeks abi months...

Pending when you move if ure planning on moving, just get beta pass my neighbour generator and be using it whenever u only need light and fan plus tv. It'll help save cost on fuel. But when u need your fridge or AC or iron, you can use your regular gen.

Ehen, i have another question o. How do you know if baby is engaged? These are the only things ive noticed:

I stopped having heartburn for more than a week now. It just disappeared.
Then my stomach doesnt look high again as if it wants to suffocate my boobz. It looks a bit lower.
I feel sharp pain in my vjay everyday. It'll just come at once and then disappear.
My vjay always feels like i just kpekused. I feel pressure inside it.
Then irregular braxton hicks.

Do all these mean baby has engaged?

Emerald22:
Lol @ madam contraction. Ur dh is funny o.

Dont mind him jare. Every minute he'll come and rub my belle and say, "how far, labor never start? Or do you want more pineapple?". Then he'll walk away laughing

enkaydewdrop:
Houses here are very cheap oh mitchyy... And I'm sure it's because there's no light...

I just taya...

If ure close to Awoyaya, u guys can ask around if its possible to tap from their light. I know frustrating it can be staying for weeks without light.

You are trying...

zaynie:
I see it now, it must have been a mistake on my part.
So sorry for the inconvenience.
Pele

Has he engaged?
When you eat the pineapple, do you contract for a long while.
If your cervix isnt ready, induction of labour will fail o.
Let Hansel be abeg, ask Liftedhands how she ate pineapples till the whole mouth scarra.
Sometimes scan can be plus or minus o.
Scan gave me 3.4 +/-0.4, Drs went with 3.8 cos my tummy was huge. Atinuke turned out to be 3.1kg.
Just chill, take walks, exercise, dance.
Do whatever will ripen cervix, contraction na small tin
If you too put mind, it will reflect on your bp o.

Thanks mum Zaynie. I've been having contractions frequently o. If i eat the pineapple, the contraction will start but not regular and not painful. If dh touches my tips, contraction will start. If i enter kitchen to cook, it starts. If i climb stairs, it starts. So many things trigger it. But what i'm concerned about is what will ripen the cervix.
I'm not too bothered about it o. Na only dh dey laugh me everyday and calls me madam contraction. Lol

XX01:
You've now made me start salivating. In serious traffic and I am imagining hot custard.

This is just minor. You didnt come during the time when mum genyebere was taunting us with tempting food pics. You would have abandoned this thread

simababe:
I stay opposite mayfair gardens and light has been a bit okay, though we use awoyaya light. Just few of us on the street contributed and connected the light instead of the one at Eputu.

See enjoyment. You guys are sharp o . That eputu light is a disaster. Houses are cheaper there but that light issue is completely discouraging

zaynie:
No.
Must have been unripe pawpaw.
Or maybe the sentence went " unripe pawpaw and pineapple"
And I always tell newbies in early pregnancy to avoid them.
I tell mommas who want to induce to do the "pineapple therapy".

Oh eya. I'm sure you wrote it in error then. Becos i'm been saving any info i see on this thread right from day one cus i believe they'll be useful.
And in your post you wrote in quote: "lcoral...pineapple whether ripe or unripe will induce contractions.
unripe/ barely ripe pawpaw induces contraction."

Its to start eating the core then, tho its not sweet sha. I wonder why its tasteless

zaynie:
Mitchyy.....pineapples and unripe pawpaw will induce labour. Unripe pineapples will be too acidic.


BS is always educative, whether full of horror or sweetness.
The people who had terrible BS didnt pray for or expect such, shiiit happens.

Okay. But you've mentioned it before on this thread that ripe and unripe pineapple as well as barely ripe pawpaw induces contractions, that's why i cc'ed you.

UmmTwins2:
Nope. None whatsoever. He's as healthy as can be. Since birth, not even a single case of cattarh or even skin issue; no single rash sef. Very strong n chubby. He's standing unsupported at 8 months. N no complications whatsoever on my part too; evry signs/symptoms of pregnancy or delivery disappeared almost immediately. 37wks is term (early term) nt 38. My friend had her baby at 36wks, he's 1 1/2yrs now n he's doing very fine. @Cutestmummy on NL had her baby at 36w2days. No probs if Hansel decides to come now, it's fine. We started kpekusing like evryday from 30wk-ish n long walks started at exactly 36wks. I still went shopping for hrs a day before delivery. That Ws all I did to prepare for labor. 37wks gestation is term.

Ehen. Thanks a lot. This rain doesn't want to let me start the long walks. I pray tomorrow is sunny and dry sha

soonest:
My 2nd was born at 37weeks. 37weeks is term so no probs @ all

Thanks a lot. My mind is now relaxed

Mumjb:
pawpaw that is a bit unripe induce labour this is because it contains a latex substance dat is believed to trigger uterine contraction.

Really? Okay then

Twogreatnations:
@ Mitchyy, liftedhands, zaynie, Fortius, Cherrymum,twichinee, Kaffybill....thanks for keeping this thread alive, u mamas are such a Darling.

@Enkaydewdrop, where art thou Sis? Hope you're good?

@ all, good afternoon everyone, hope una dey enjoy this weather?

E-hugs!!!

enkaydewdrop:
Be like custard oh...

Now I want custard...

Hahaha. You and Fortius are obviously craving custard. Hope you have it at home? Don't send poor dh under this rain to buy custard o

enkaydewdrop:
Meanwhile, we wey dey immediately after Awoyaya neva see light since...

God dey...

Oya open your door let me send some to you

UmmTwins2, thanks for sharing. When you gave birth at 37weeks, your baby had no issues abi? Dr has said my baby might come at 37weeks since he's already big and i'm having so many pre-labor symptoms. I'm okay with it too but some pple say baby wont be fully mature at 37weeks

simababe:
Mitchy, are u sure you don't stay around awoyaya Ajah side because they?e not taken light since ystrday

Yeah i do. I live in Abijo area

enkaydewdrop:
See me here...
Today get as e be my sister...

I just feel like sleeping all day...

Not just you o. Phcn gave us power since last night till now. Plus its been drizzling all morning. Time for round three sleep

UmmTwins2:
yes, majorly for delivery but not all of them are unregistered. I used a maternity home; it's registered and the midwife there is a qualified, very experienced matron in National hospital. I registered at a private hospital initially before registering at d maternity home at 24wks n I thank God I did. The nurses at d hospital were so careless (e.g giving u a container wt another patient's name already on it to pee in for urine test, even though I had to be d one reminding them that they've nt done any urine test for me; n ds Ws like on my 3rd appointment o, d blood test results nko? It Ws in my presence there d doctor Ws copying it out of his Nokia torchlight fone) n d doctor wld be giving flimsy excuses for their carelessness when u complain to him. If I start to list all my complaints to them here, I wee nor finish today. Thank God I Ws a "professional mommy" like ma'am zaynie n read everything readable on pregnancy n childbirth like I wan write professional exam n wld ask questions abt everything so tey d doctor go say "Nawah o, na everything u sabi" lol when I stopped going there for ANC, up till today dem no call once to check say hw far o, hw u dey, ur pikin never reach to born (wen pikin sef don reach 8 months) Lol n they knew me very well cos I Ws d only ANC patient wearing hijab there dat time coupled wt my curious nature wt them. In all, we shld jst always make informed decisions, open eyes wella, ask questions whenever necessary n above all, PRAY for God's favor n mercy
phew see me don write novel on top mitchyy's comment, na Y I dey always peep jejely o cos I too write epistle. Make ona no vex abeg

No need to apologise. No matter how long your epistle is, i trust mamas here, we go always read am. Who nor wan learn? Lol

maran1983:
Like you, I also didn't know how to push and suffered tear in my first pregnancy.

To push, hold both ankles firmly, lift your neck /head up to look at your navel, then push like you want to let out hard poo.

Other mums can contribute too.

Thanks for sharing this jare. The midwives shud have demonstrated it for us. Yeye pple. Lol

Fortius:
teach me 'i love you' in ur language na..i no wan mak raptor2 dey oppress me@mitchyy
is dis custard?
Dis BS makes sense o..na dat stage of dnt push dey alwz scare me cuz u jst feel lik doin it..it s well o

olubankemi..iya eji...weldone o..ori is d best na..#teamsheabutter..kisses to d twins.

Hehehehe. I don't even know how to say it in my language. Its only few things i can say becos my parents didnt speak it to us at all. Dont worry, i'll consult my dictionary aka mum and get back to you

Lmao @Is it custard?
Do they make custard in pan and with turning stick? Its starch, our local food in delta. We use it to eat banga soup, owho soup, owho beans and peppersoup. Its delicious and my favourite swallow.
