Please we will do the work out together Am in your same shoes! At 22weeks have put on 15kg already. LO has not started adding his own 3trimester weight ooo. I wonder how many I will weigh by 30-38weeks! I really can't wait to go back to preg pregnancy weight oo.

Nne enkaydewdrop and all other mamas kike me whose weight gain is truly alarming there are some light exercises that one can do to maintain fitness in pregnancy oh. I know walking and swimming are alright. Yoga and some aerobics too is also alright.

Even though I'm not immediately practising it I know its better one adopts some of these lifestyle changes even now so that its easier to continue after baby's arrival.

Please google and search out videos. It'll even help when one is trying to shed off all the baby weight.

Thirty minutes thrice a week would make all the difference I tell you.

Meanwhile does extensive house chores count as exercise?

enkaydewdrop:



Yes ma'am... I'm doing great... and you?

OK, I'll show it to hubby.
how much does it go for? just in case he asks.

And don't you have any that looks like the 2nd one? cos we're making a cot for LO, so we may not need the bigger bed, just the smaller one...

Very well, thank you..Its 40k
No I don't unless you wanna go for a stroller or rocker..

@tmama2 it stopped before he was 4 weeks, and pls no feeding while lying o.

Once one mama respond well I think it's ok. Some people who don't experience what you are experiencing might not be able to proffer the right solution. So don't get upset when you don't have much people attending to you.

I have had to delete some of my questions when no one answer or even overlook it and make research online to be well informed on it. We are humans, no one should be angry cos her questions are not attended to, it doesn't also mean you should not help others where necessary.

And the best is, don't think someone else is more loved than you, else you would just not find yourself comfortable staying on the thread.

I never had cough, so I might not be able to help out.

I don't think its advisble. Wht did your doctor say? Pls don't ttake anything without your gyn knowledg. Happy bumping!!

pintoxx:
Nice bumps on display.

Hey all!!

Please watch What you eat, I knoww preggy mamas love to eat. Ensure your meals are well balanced, more of veggies than carbs. Once you hit third trimester, do all you can to avoid carbs. They are the biggest culprit of fat babies. My doc will always tell me to avoid carbs and eat veg, fruits and protein. Also exercise is very important. Take short/long walks everyday cos if you don't the lil food you ate will just sit there in your system and contribute to the fat. Lol.

Well done mamas

Kudos to all the mamas in the house. May we all carry out babies to term without any complication by the grace of God.

I'm a first time mum and I'm 14 weeks. I'm proudly team October 4&6 according to scan and LMP respectively.

My 150 liters of fuel is coming right up. I was diagnosed with fibroid and my gynecologist said its no problem. Mothers in the house should I be worried and how can I manage it as I heard it gets bigger with pregnancy.

Teamie ure welcome, am also 14weeks+ n edd is 4th oct as per lmp. Sabi mamas will attend to ur question soon.

ifyjip:
wat Protein add babies? Wow i never knew i try to eat lot of protein foods. Oky i will reduce it...i was talking abt ways to induce labour. Oky thnks so much

Wow, am still in shock. I have been busy consuming so much protein and avoiding carbohyrates just to avoid putting on so much weight. Pls sabi mamas should enlighten us on this.

pintoxx:
HumbledBYgrace,thanks 4d response,i appreciate a lot,evry oda momma just read n ignored my question,no wahala,i get d drift.

Pls don't feel that way, mayb most of the mamas that read and ignored the question just didn't have the right answer to give you. You don't have to feel bad.

Thanks dear, but am now hearing that protein can also make babies fat, since its responsible for growth. How true is it?

Pintoxx, in asking questions u don't want to be misinformed too. Someone like me I didn't have the slightest headache during pregnancy. The only time I threw up was on the day of labour. So when mamas are talking about pre-eclamsia (donno if the spelling is right o), protein in urine, cerclage and many others, I go just siddon dey look because I didn't experience them and I don't have the slightest idea about them. I only pray along with them if I sense that the thing is not good.

You can CC our able nurse Kaffy4bill (ever ready to answer), medical mamas tchiwinnie, babythug....many many, other senior mamas in the ministry too. Zaynie dey google things for Africa. And mamas that u see that frequent the thread and might have idea. If they don't, they will also direct u to another mama. Last last we will tell u to go and meet ur doctor.

We don't do paddy paddy gang things here. We love everybody void of tribe, colour or religion. And we love you to Pintoxx.

Am so so sorry to say this Gaily, Lovinam and all that has mentioned something on eating.

Pleaseee, I hold my ear and say abeg eat yooooooo. Eat protein cos especially during development stage, baby needs blood to develop, if there is no much of it, your baby takes it from you the little you have and hence a report of you being aneamic.

Six weeks ago my pcv was 29, which was quite low and for twin pregnancy it was pretty low. Though they said some factors like being two in there, infection, and bla bla could be the reason, I had to run some tests to be sure no infection.

When I was referred to carry out the tests, I did not do it immediately, I waited for two weeks. For the wait, I was doubling my food intake and protein food, I also ate much ugu. I reduced veggies cos I was on vegetables most times before the my low pcv report

after two weeks I did the tests and low my pcv has increased significantly.

Vegetable vegetable yes but you need carbs as a sources of energy for you and the child in you.

The koko and the wise thing is, eat well and eat balanced diet. Don't be a major in one.

We need to build our blood level significantly.

enkaydewdrop:



How much is the rocker? and how long can baby use it?

Should be around10-15k..I don't have any at the moment
Baby can use it till his/her sibling arrives

My dear, I no say make u no chop protein o!! EAT YOUR PROTEIN!!!! Its very important to the growth of your baby. My emphasis is solely on carbs. Everything you eat as a pregnant mama must be taken in moderation. Don't load chicken full plate and call lovinam!! U are on ur own o! Rotfl!!

At my ANC, we are taught that high protein intake especially from 8months makes a baby add weight rapidly so if we don't want too big babies, we should cut down on protein intake from then and increase carbohydrates. What's actually the correct thing?

Hmmmmm. Please, I don't know about that one o. All I know is that I listen to my doctors and heed exactly what they tell me. They told me severally to reduce my carbs once I hit third trimester. Its not because of any health concerns but solely for baby weight. Like I said earlier, just eat a lil of everything and you will be fine. Don't go snacking on junk and co

Birth story continues

Without stimulation i started relaesing eggs but yet nothing to show for it even when hussy sperm count has increased.

To cut long story short, seven, eight, nine years no pregnancy until the tent year. My Good God decided to wipe away my tears. God that keeps to promises remembered me and opened my womb. I was so grateful to God. I gave him all the glory and honour there was. My joy knew no bound. I saw my tummy protruding. I will look myself at the mirror and smile. What i longed for.

Then the devil rolled it's ugly head at 22weeks and 3days of my precious prenancy. They called it Pprom. my baby struggled to live with little or no amniotic fluid for 2weeks and 4days. At 25weeks i gave birth to a still birth. I cried like there was no tomorrow. I held my baby. Mmaduabuchi wake up i shouted. I refused for my little one to be buried thinking he will wake up with time. Even though my baby was not alive, i still thanked God cause he has proved to the world that yes I am a woman.

Thank God for my e-family, God bless you all. Your prayer and words of encouragement kept me moving.

I lost that prenancy January 17 2015 by August 2015 I missed my period not to irregular period but to pregnancy again. Come and see happiness.

#Team May seriously eyeing April for supernatural delivery#

From what i learned, your baby now has less space to throw punches and serious kicks. Since your baby has now covered your uterus fully, the strong kicks will begin to feel lighter. But its important you count the number of kicks till you get to at least10. Once its lesser, then you should check that baby is okay.

I feel pressure in my cerxix a lot for over four weeks now. I did not complain about it as I read it's normal and as a lay man, I think it's good, shows your baby is around the birth canal and would aid natural birth. #mythought.

But pls consult your doctor.

I felt this only happens when you're close to delivery. I'm only 26weeks gone. But it has reduced sha.
