Welcome..another twin but what is BFP? P is pregnant but I dnot know BF

BFP means Big Fat Positive. It means the person is pregnant

I hope you all understand that Dangote is not just his name, its also the name of his company. So when people say Dangote Truck, they are referring to his company.

If the ethics and rules of advertising are to be strictly followed, Airtel goofed. I expect MTN to react accordingly.

ellacute45:
MTN should sue them at least they can get half of their fine if they win in court

MTN has done worse, if we are to follow such rules. I remember one advert they did of some people running a race. The winner was team yellow, while the others who lost were team red and team green, which are the brand colors of Airtel and Glo/Etisalat. So its payback time

The best MTN can just do that will really pain Airtel is to to get the same guy and use him in their AD. Just the way Saka was stolen

Hahahahaha. That's my talented friend Peter in the AD

mompurity2:
Hnmmmm, i'm 18weeks today went for a scan and ws told my cervix OS is slightly open . Cervical length 42mm and was advised to do a cerclage.

My worries, is it not too late to hv a cerclage? What are the disadvantges/advantages of having dis procedure done? Can d cervix close on its own without necessarily putting a cerclage? Pls mama's who hv gone thru dis pls answer me soon abeg.

I think its best you follow your Drs advice and get it done, to avoid any sad story. But for more information on cerclage, just type it in the search box here on Nairaland and search under "Health", you'll see a lot of info on it. Mamas here have trashed the issue so many times.
Don't worry, you and your LO will be fine. Our prayers are with you

Really? Where did you shop? At the market?

lamdec:
Generally, prices at Blenco are fair, I got the first set of my baby things at Dosumu, but for the second set I realized that they were more or the same prices with Blenco, so I was restocking from Blenco.
Some of the things you listed are more pricey than when I got them from the same Blenco but it could be due to the Dollar rise and also its almost a year ago.

Awesome, that's good to know. Will do one more window shopping at another mall before the actual shopping. Thanks

Flourish89:
Hello dear,pls wot brand of car seat did u get for that amount?is it infant car seat or d convertible one you can use till two years or more?

I didn't buy o. I only did window shopping. I can't remember if its convertible or not

To the mamas who complained about Pelvic Girdle Pain, here is what i found that can help relieve the pain which is normal:
- Maintain good posture while sitting, standing, or walking. By doing this, you’re making sure the weight is on your two legs, when the weight is on one leg, it will increase the pelvic pain.
- When walking, take small steps so that the weight on your pelvis will be even. Wear comfortable shoes instead of heels.
- Do kegel exercises to help strengthen your pelvic floor. Breath normally, keep your back still, then work on the muscle you use in urinating.
- And if your buttocks become sore, try gluteal stretches, it helps. To do this, sit down, cross one foot over the other knee, gently, knee forward.
- If your butt is really sore, apply ice to the sore area.

I hope this helps. Happy bumping and vigilante to us all!

mrsbw:
Thanks everyone!. I really appreciate uour good wishes. Na vigilante mode i dey now

Vigilante is real! Congrats on safe delivery and kisses to your LO.

Chinwendym:
Mitchyy good to know you are good! Ekene bobo is doing great though still battling with cough my nephew dashed him.

Abeg where in ajah is that shop? I'd like to pay them a visit cos even with this dollar hike their prices are quite fair! Except the wash cloth which appear pricey might be the brand sha cos I got Gerber pack of 8 wash cloth for 650. If you can't do dosunmu please shop there! Their prices are good IMO.

Really? Thats good to know. Its Blenco Mall at Ado road, Ajah. But my problem is they don't have variety. Just a few to select from. Maybe by the time i'm ready to shop, they would have restocked

I love your boldness in appreciating your pet irrespective of the breed. But its pics like this, that makes people lose respect and love for our Nigerian breed. The fact that your dog is a Mongrel doesn't mean he/she shouldn't look good and clean or stay in a good environment. This dog obviously needs a bath. Ordinary dog collar sef will transform the look of your dog and make him/her look fantastic.
I've seen this breed before at a vet shop and i couldn't believe how pretty it looked because of how the owner pampers and cares for it.
Well done anyways

So i decided to buy my Pregnacare today and lo and behold, the price has gone up from 5450 to 6000 at Medplus pharmacy
They said its dollar rate. God dey sha
I also did some window shopping at Blenco mall in Ajah, just to take a look and see how baby things are sold. Let me not lie, i wanted to experience that feeling of rolling your belle and looking thru baby things, with some envious eyes on you. I was just feeling on top of the world with my baby bump as a first time JJC mama
See the prices of some of the things i saw:

Baby socks set of 4 - 1750
Sleepsuit set of 3 - 3200
Baby carrier - 5200
Bodysuit set of 6 sleeveless - 3200
Bodysuit set of 6 with sleeve - 2200
Car seat - 18,500
Bath set - 11,400
Feeding bottle sterilizer - 8800 Philip Avent brand
Tomme Tippee feeding bottle - 1200 I guess
Wash cloth set of 6 - 1550
Disposable breast pad - 3250
Washable breast pad - 700
Baby blankets - 2500
Breast pump - 11,500

Mamas who have shopped already, please take a look at the list o and let me know if their prices are inflated or fair. Its a bit comfortable shopping there than going to rowdy markets. But i still need to look pocket make i nor overspend when my mates dey buy their own cheap.

@Mum Chinwendym I don show face o. I'm much better now. Been trying to relax all weekend. How's our fine boy Ekene?

Teamies @Christybabe @juliebest Thanks for checking. I'm fine now. I just discovered i have anterior placenta, maybe that is why i can't still feel strong baby kicks till now. I'm really looking forward to it o.

@ozycy @destinedmom @rejoice03 Thanks mamas. I'm much better now

@HumbledbYGrace where have ya been? Welcome back. Those many pages you have to read is your punishment for going MIA on this thread.

@sugah, They now give out E-slaps to mamas who misbehave o. Pls block your eye next time you see pineapple, biko. Don't get carried away that some other mamas eat it and nothing happens.

Hello mamas, guess what? I woke up without any sign of the pain again. Its completely gone . I finished a bag of satchet water yesterday. I was drinking water like a camel as advised.
Doc said he is sure it isn't what i ate. He said as long as the potash was added to a meal and i cooked it, its too insignificant to cause that kind of pain. He said that it might be stress. Is sitting at home all day now stressful? Me i don't understand o. I only went out on Wednesday evening, that's all.
Will just be on bedrest till Sunday to relax the body.
Thanks mamas. You ladies are the best!

@all mamas, thanks so much for your concern and advice. I truly appreciate it. Will give update tomorrow and hopefully it'll be positive. For now, lets enjoy our #threadcuties

zaynie:
Mitchyy, how far?
I hope u are at the hospital o.
My prayers are with u dear.

No o. My doctor is not around and he's the only obgyn in my hospital i trust. I called him and he said as long as i'm not having discharge and my stomach doesn't become very tight and hard when the pain comes, then it isn't contractions.
He asked me to take pcm and watch it till morning when he'll be back, to see if it'll subside.

@raptor2 @cutienik @legitdiva @mumtwins @zaynie @kaffy4bill @flourish89 @brokewaist @ekeminiabasi

Thanks all. The pain still hasn't subsided. I've taken about 9 satchets of water. I think i'll just have to head to the hospital. Let me call my doc first to see if he's around.
I feel so guilty

zaynie:
Drink lots of water and lie down gently. Only if the contractions are painless and regular.

If contractions get painful, get to the hospital asap.
How far gone are u?

Okay. I've taken lots of water and been in bed since morning. Even scared to eat anything yet. They are painful but bearable. I'm just 21 weeks

ekeminiabasi:
@rejoice03: I think u shld try and make ur hubby see reasons with ur dr,since he prescribed it. I have had 3 mc. D last one I was on progesterone injection from week 8 to week 13. I miscarried@week 15. This time around my dr placed me on cyclogest from week 6, he said I was goin to stop@20weeks,but @my last anc he decided I shld use it till week 28. I believe it's the cyclogest that God has used to bring me this far. I ve never gone beyond 16weeks even with a cerclage. I'm 23 now. Sorry for the long epistle,i just hope you can continue with the cyclogest.

I guess you must be #teamjuly right? Please identify o so your name can be added.

kaffy4bill:
Take more and more
Pls watch urself and get down to the hosp if need b
Its well

Thanks a lot ma'am. I'm loading my stomach with water now

bintudon:
morning mama's please I just found out that pregnacare omega doesn't have calcium in list of nutrients,do I need it?

I think some mamas take calcium tabs together with the pregnacare that doesn't have calcium in the list. Calcium is extremely important especially in first and second trimester when bones are developing.
Except you want to go for Pregnacare Max which contains everything but more expensive

rejoice03:
@mitchy sorry, I tink u shld take plenty water so it wil get it out of ur system. U can also call ur doctor.

I've drank two glasses of water this morning. Should i take more?

mumtwins:
Was asked nt to eat potash, dat it's nt healthy for pregnant and breastfeeding mother.

I've been eating Owho soup before o. But this time i used large quantity of potash in the soup. I thought it was taking it raw that is bad. Or should i just stop using it totally in all my meals? I feel so bad for doing this to myself

Morning mamas. I think i have hurt myself again. I made owho soup yesterday and used too much potash. I ate it twice and since then, i've been having serious cramps in the lower part of my belly. Is there anything i can do to diffuse it?
