Please, Can a girl get pregnant just by Just Pre-Ejaculation?

I think she got pregnant for another retched guy but wants to pin it on my head.


and also, what is the most earliest sign of pregnancy a girl will personally experience?

Thanks
Yes, she can. If you don’t want to make a baby abstain or use protection.

good morning my mamas, please I want to ask a question on behalf of my neighborhood... though I warn her not to do it but she said her mother in-law and her hubby did it... they circumcised her baby and since then she has been bleeding... the problem is DAT they can take them to the hospital
...please what can they do...
The deed has been done. All these shouting and preaching against female genital mutilation and she still allowed them to play with her daughter. It’s alright. She should take the baby back to wherever it was done for proper treatment. This one has passed home care, with corona or not. Let her go back to hospital

It is been like 8 weeks after 2 missed period coupled with blood test and we are already rejoicing our bundle of joy is on the way, wifey started noticing some traces of blood stain on Monday. We went to hospital yesterday and doctor ask us to do scanning which didn't reveal any heartbeat. We are told to come back in 2 weeks when it would have been like 10 weeks. Wifey wake up early today to cramps and heavy blood flow with some big lumps.
I don't want us to go back to that hospital and Doctors in General Hospital are on strike.
I need advice on how to handle this from the experienced Mamas here. Thanks
I’d say you were too slow to react and the hospital also slow. The hospital didn’t even take any precautions by telling her to return home without any treatment. Now she’s bleeding heavily and I doubt much can be done at this stage. But you can still check out with another good hospital just to be on the safe side and see if sth can still be done.

Pre BS (blame it on boredom)
Part 1

So I already made up my mind to stop breastfeeding DD after her first birthday because I never even planned on breastfeeding that long but anty had other plans for me...from 6months, she rejected every single formula I bought and turned me to formula drinker (so they don’t waste lol). Well I gave up in the 8th month and made up my mind to breastfeed her till she turns one since she needed milk and couldn’t start regular milk or even peak 123 till she turned 1. Glad she started taking solids from 6 months. In fact, she had bitterleaf soup at 7 months and finished my plate with me lol. She’s a foodie. Eats amazingly well till date.

Well, 2 days after her birthday, I started the weaning process which I did cold turkey. I gave her water when she woke up to be fed at night and by the third night, she stopped waking entirely. Mum 1: DD 0: Engorgement 100 cheesy. I have a high threshold for pain and usually do not take pain meds for any reason so frozen cabbage leaves came to the rescue.

Meanwhile, Period returned exactly 3 days before she clocked 6months after all the exclusive I did whereas my sister supplements with formula yet she is usually period free till she stops breastfeeding, usually up to 15 months. Heigawd!! Issokay!! undecided

After the weaning process, I checked my app and saw I was 2 days late. In planning DD’s birthday and other things going on, I lost track of time. I’m never late, if anything, I’m always a day or two early. I went into panic mode because I never wanted another child; I was one and done because DD’s pregnancy and delivery almost had my head. Like I almost died after having her (this story is already long so won’t dive into this). Also, I had bad guilt after having her; I wouldn’t call it post partum blues but the guilt was real and I still get it. It makes me territorial, like I have to protect her (well, now them) at all costs, protect her from the evil world cos I feel responsible for her. I mean she never asked to be born. I think about how her generation will be, how technology will be (either for the good or worse), if humanity will lose itself, even thought about diseases and pandemics ravaging their generation. I get weird thoughts and I watch lots of sci-fi and horror movies...you can imagine the thoughts going through my head during this Covid-19 times lol grin grin grin

I digress...

Well, I asked Dr Google and I kept seeing, “period may be late after weaning” and “stress could cause a delay in period” but I went on to take a test and it was negative so I chilled and went about my business

Part 2

By the 10th day, I was lying on the sofa in the living room and I felt woozy!! (Had the same with DD’s pregnancy, but it happened while I was walking and this one happened while I was lying down??!!). Hei!! shocked I jumped up and got dressed, dressed DD up and left for my sister’s place.

When I got to her estate, I went to a pharmacy there and bought a test strip, got to my sister’s place, said hi to her at the door and rushed into her bathroom. DD and our stuff were still in the car at this point oh cheesy. Took the test and screamed ehn!! My bro and sis rushed in to ask me what happened

I was blank...then I was sad..then I was angry..:then I was back to being blank again!!!! undecided lipsrsealed

Like!!!! The test line came out before the control line and it was wayyyy darker than the control line. I immediately removed the waist trainer I was wearing oh and dumped it on my sister’s bed. Waist trainer that was giving me tummy discomfort since that week but I chalked it up to “e dey work” cheesy not knowing I was compressing my expanding uterus

That’s how the next day, I carried my two left legs to my doctor, got into his office and sat down without saying a word. He asked me what was wrong and I was just moping then he asked me “obago?” (E don enter?). I lost it at that point and started bawling my eyes out lmao. Reminded him how I said I was one and done, how I wasn’t ready how he should have tied my tubes and how it was thoroughly bad timing. He counseled me and advised I kept it but left the decision up to me and the husband. Husband that I hadn’t told what’s up lol. My doc gave me a time frame to terminate if we decided to but strongly advised I do not give it a third thought (I already gave it a second thought at that point)

I went home and my doc never heard from me till my 16th week. Safe to say I even forgot I was pregnant

Picked up courage and told husband weeks after I found out and he burst out laughing because of all the one and done mouth I made (he wasn’t the only person who laughed. Siblings, inlaws, friends oh...cos I was busy making mouth cheesy) It was like a movie, like a one hit wonder. I knew the exact day I took in cos there was no action till that particular day and nothing else after then till I found out because busy and traveling a lot

Well we talked and decided to see it to the end because my Igbo people say “mgberede nyiri dike, mgberede ka eji ama dike” (sorry, I can’t translate this one. It will be lost in translation)

Part 3

Only a few people (apart from you guys) knew I was pregnant. I had a very easy pregnancy. I glowed through it. I didn’t have to leave social media, I was still slaying with a full face of makeup back to back and posting on a regular so it was a shock to many when they saw brith announcement lol

I lowkey believed I was going to have a boy cos I always told God I wanted just one girl if I ever had more than one child, a friend told me I was going to have a boy cos they’re the ones that sneak in when you’re not looking, my dad died in my first trimester and everyone said I was going to have a boy. Not like I believe in reincarnation or anything but when I lost my MIL, I took in with DD that weekend then I took in and lost my dad so people who believed kept insinuating and I’m here like, “so I came to this world to be borning dead people” cry cheesy

Then the devil or whoever started sowing seeds of doubt in me. I started feeling death hovering over me. It was so bad I spoke to my lawyer cos I wanted to write my will and give instructions on how I want to be buried and where. He traveled a lot so I forgot about the will but I still gave my siblings the instructions. They chastised me and started praying for/with me. My closest friend who knew what I was going through/feeling also did her fair share of prayers.

One night someone called me to say she saw my mum (God rest her soul) in her dream...long dream but the summary is that she took away something that was supposed to hurt me and then covered me with a purple fabric. She explained what she thought the dream meant and also prayed for me

Part 1

After my dad’s burial, I went for a scan and was told it was a boy. He decided to open his legs that day lol

I started antenatal I think in my 28th week. My doc gave up on complaining about how unserious I was with this pregnancy. I was so lax. I never stayed at a place. I was super active, traveling, visiting friends and family, handling DD and her wahala...something I couldn’t relate with in DD’s pregnancy. Her own showed my shege. Feet swollen from month 6, I could barely walk most days, BP was over the charts, had bad sciatica and pelvic girdle pain, left social media, quit my job, put my business on hold cos living on my living room sofa and eating were all I cared about ...the list is endless

God made this one so easy. BP stayed normal till I got discharged and even post partum.

So I told my doc The day I started antenatal that I wanted a 02/03/2020 baby so we booked for that day but fate had other plans cheesy

That day came and I became a chicken

All my fears came back. All the what ifs started running through my head...top on the list was that the spinal epidural doesn’t work and I feel the whole procedure or worse yet, I’m put under general anesthesia. To me this was death in itself, not knowing if I’m dying or living grin cheesy

I decided to go shopping with my sis. She came for omugwo but I refused to bring baby out and took her shopping instead. Went and bought new pots,flasks and frying pans lol. I didn’t even bother about making stew, different types of soups and stockpiling in my freezer like I did the last time. I just wanted to shop for DD, cookware and utensils. Whoever hungry catch, make e use the new pots cook, chop. I was busy and unavailable biko

Part 2

My doc called to ask what happened and I told him not to be angry that I would come in the next day. He rescheduled me for 4pm on the 3rd and told me to come in by 2pm. The night of the 2nd was one of my longest nights. I kept waking and checking to make sure my water hadn’t broken and even started googling labour signs. I wasn’t supposed to go into labour for so many reasons and my doc was trying to avoid that

That’s how on the 3rd, mild contractions started but I don’t even know what happened and I found myself at the hospital by 3:45pm....I’m a very SERIOUS somebody cool

Before then, I told my sis I wanted to have the baby at night and it’s as though the universe listened lol cheesy

Got there, they prepped me, checked vitals, ran tests, set drip etc..we were there and 4pm came, then 5pm then 6pm then 7pm...at this point my other siblings were at the hospital cos they thought baby already came. By this time contractions had gotten serious but I could breathe through it

All of us sha sat in my room, disturbing the whole hospital with our gists and arguments

7:30pm and the anesthesiologist walks in with a nurse to do that their pep talk. My tummy started churning, I wanted to run back home and maybe if possible vomit the baby sad

My experience after DD’s birth came rushing to me and I didn’t know when I shouted “I’m not ready, can we reschedule?” My doc said nah, “madam, it’s now or never”. Imagine the threat cheesy. Everyone told me not to be scared and by 7:50 I was taken into the theatre

Anesthesiologist got to work. DD’s own took 7 tries and I heard him request for a 14” before he successfully injected it. This time around, it took just one try and he was done but I kept moving my legs to be sure the spinal was taking effect and after I got those thunderstrike-like feeling in both legs, I couldn’t move my toes anymore lol

Baby was brought out at exactly 7:58pm and shown to me quickly with the lower body behind the curtain.I saw husband by the ante room of the theatre recording abi snapping through the glass partitioning (I just remembered that I need to ask him for the pictures/video).

I asked the doc if it was really a boy and he said he didn’t know that he didn’t check. The other doctors and nurses concurred with him when I asked them (what gangup!! cheesy) and then my doc told the pediatrician to clean the baby and cover “it” very well before bringing to me. They cleaned the baby up and brought it and I saw it was a boy. They all started laughing cos I was almost freaking out lol

He was/is very fair, looked like my mum lol, with spiky frizzy hair and he was trying to cry. I started laughing cos I was expecting him to be a wailer like his sis. 3 weeks along and he still doesn’t know how to cry. Once he starts crying, I find myself in tears from laughing so much

Anyways, they took him to the room to join my siblings while I got stitched up (and again, I need to ask husband for pictures or whatever it is he was taking at that time). Husband stayed for a while and then left. I continued gisting with the doctors and we were done and I got wheeled to my room.

My doc gave his farewell speech and asked me if I needed help with sleep and stubborn me said no that I wanted to be awake. At this point, I wanted to be awake all night long so I know when I was about dying undecided Silly me.

Part 3

I came here to announce the birth of my baby, sent pictures to friends and even received some calls; feeling cool and nice and in control lol

Unknown to me, there was a gang up. One of the nurses came in and replaced my drip and I started feeling funky, asked her what she gave me and she said she added something to help me sleep. I told her she shouldn’t have and I passed out while saying it lol.

Reports from my siblings, backed up with voice recordings the next day suggested that I slept but I wasn’t really asleep. I kept chiming in in their conversation, telling my sister to use qtip to clean baby’s nose and to cover his hands with mitten, even greeted visitors that came that night lol

The next day, I was floating and feeling cool. My sis was a whole lot of help, taking care of baby while I slept like I hadn’t slept in 5 years and husband was joggling work and school run for DD

The next day when I came to, I was eager to move around. I needed the cathether out!! I got off the bed by 2pm on the 4th and even tried breastfeeding because Mr. Baby kept spitting up after every formula feed. I saw that my milk already came in so it was bye-bye formula. Hopefully he doesn’t reject formula at 6 months too

At the end of the day, I was thankful my doctor didn’t listen to me at all. The last time he did and I almost paid with my life, Bp wonderfully shot up to 250 that night and my heart almost stopped. Then after I was discharged, I had bad water retention up to 4 weeks post partum, had drainage from my incision for 6 weeks, my incision was still open on the left side till the 7th week. I had bad panic attack for many months anytime I remembered what I went through. But now, I’m 3 weeks postpartum and I’m feeling like my old self, doing things I used to do though with caution, incision is healed and difficult to detect, vigilante is kinda real but not so bad, feet got swollen 3 days before my CS and it’s already back to normal now, and above all, DD accepted her brother and made this whole mum of two under two thing so easy. She’s always kissing him and wiping imaginary tears off his face with his bib or her hand, always eager to help out, runs to check what’s wrong with him when she hears him crying.

Second time is a charm for me. DD is her dad’s spitting image’, in complexion, same bent nails on same toes and fingers, same mannerisms. My boy has my complexion and some of my features even though he is starting to look like his dad, thanks to his very strong genes. I don’t mind even though e pain me.

God indeed makes all things beautiful in his time and he truly knows what’s best for us. I have never felt more complete and at peace. Now I’m looking forward to when they’re 4 and 2, fighting over toys and the silliest of things and reporting each other to me lol. or much later in life when they’re there for each other, coming through for one another and making me proud

This my boot has been locked in a box, buried and key thrown away into the ocean.

Thank you all for coming on this journey with me.
I hope I didn’t “west” your “thyme” tongue cheesy


Stay safe sisters
Happy and healthy bumping to my teamies and other waddling mamas, my prayers are with you at this time
I await the testimonies of all GTC mamas

I don born omote o.

BS coming as soon as I can.

Ma bi layo l’Oluwa wi
Ma bi layo l’Oluwa so
Ma bi layo, Ma bi layo o
Ma bi layo l’Oluwa so

We sang this church every Sunday we had our pregnant women meeting. I’m not Yoruba, but I think it means:

“God has declared that I’ll give birth in joy”
“God has said that I’ll give birth in joy”
“I’ll give birth in Joy, I’ll give birth in joy”
“God has said that I’ll give birth in joy”

I’ll try not to make this BS part 2 of mama Beyedew’s BS cheesy
So my baby’s due date was 15th March(as speculated by the 2 hospitals I used) but the date came and passed and so my doctor and I set up for us to induce labour on Friday, 20th March.

Got to the hospital Friday evening and was told that labour would be induced the next day Saturday, I was then given a bed space. Very early Saturday morning, the doctor came in, and I was induced around 5:30am. I started feeling mild contractions around 6:30am. I kept timing it till proper contraction kicked off sometime around 8am. That was when reality set in!

As at this time, I was 3cm gone. So I knew I still had a long way to go. By the way, checking how far one has dilated is not as easy as it is said o. I’ve always been scared of penetration (please don’t look at me like what kind of penetration brought you here undecided ) I believe only the D should go in there. 5 fingers? Mbanu!

The doctor came to check me again by 11am and I was still 3cm+ gone. I wanted to lose my mind. It was hard to believe that I was in excruciating pain and I wasn’t making huge progress as such. By 1pm, I was in another world. I kept screaming “Lord have mercy o”, “Oh my God”, “Father , come through for me o”, “Mummy o”, “Lord, I’m tired” My mother in-law will tell me “No, say Lord give me the strength”

I noticed that while I was in deep contractions, I would fall asleep for a few seconds, and even snore as well till the contraction hits again. This went on back to back. I would call my mother in-law to massage my back while the contraction was hitting me hard.

This went on till the doctor came to check me by 4pm and said I was 7cm gone, but since my water had not broken, they would have to rupture it themselves. The only food I had had at that time was very light pap and one small portion of moi moi. My husband got me jollof rice but I think I ate 4 spoons alone. So I was still hungry but food was the least of my problems.

8cm gone, and I was already having the urge to push. I was encouraged to hold on. By this time, I was grabbing and pulling everything my hand could reach. My mother in-law was still massaging my back as each contraction hits. She had sore arms that day.

Finally 10cm, around 5pm and I was given the green light with some rules. Push when the next contraction hits, , spread your legs, hold your legs like this, raise your head to look at your navel etc.

4 pushes and my baby was out giving me some tears. I heard her scream and I had never felt more fulfilled.

I was stitched and the midwife cleaned me up. My husband and mother in-law came to check me. We teased each other about my baby’s looks, and I sent him for food. I was with the midwife alone now, she helped me stand up to my feet that was when trouble set in!

I realized I was dizzy, and I quickly told her. She helped me sit and I think she asked “Do you feel better?” Can’t remember, cos I blacked out. I don’t know for how long, but I came to hearing the voice of my mother in-law crying and praying with so much sorrow in her voice in deep Urhobo. I opened my eyes, and I saw about 5 doctors in front of me, including the midwife. They kept tapping me mildly and saying “Mrs xxxxxxx, how do you feel now?” And I responded. I was taken back to theatre, and operated. I lost a lot of blood and took a pint of blood and another the next day.

At the end, I give God the glory. My husband who was always forming “I be street boy”. The man cried that day grin

There you go mamas; my Birth Story. I pray yours come easier kiss
