Have you ever taken out some time to wonder if the said story wasn't what happened at that particular moment? Because OP posted it in 2013 doesn't mean it happened in 2013. i remember that story very well and i know OP was narrating it then "after the fact". I may be wrong but i surely don't doubt this story to be false.

But he didn't narrate the story like someone who was already married with kid(s)

Almost o, cos the tags et al were still on it, but I bought in fairly used market.
My sister, that 12k is cheap o.

Someone wanted to sell something more inferior to Graco for me at 15k.

Brand new Graco is more expensive than that, right?

ohhh, this explains it.
new graco cot is more than twice the amount you got yours. ..

lexajen:
Thanks Amyy
It has Graco inscribed o it.
I bought it for 12k. One woman told me 15k last and that one didn't look as cool as this.

You bought graco baby cot for 12k?
is it brand new?

Well, your hubby won't enjoy kpekusing like they call it here. He will go in without u noticing. No enjoyment. But pls if your not sure of the opening, visit your Dr.

@bolded,

will definitely visit my doc but I don't think I'm open to resuturing.. they can repair whatever if need be at my nxt pregnancy..

thanks a lot. .

ubiR:
U will c the inside of your skin... red and looks like it has open wound. It won't bleed, use mirror or call hubby to help u check he will know if it looks better. If the place heals, u can't b resutured again, d earlier d better.

hmmmm.. I can see the inside of my skin on a little portion of the epi(it's reddish kinda).. the place is almost healed cos I feel lil or no pains again...

what happens if I don't get resutured?

Please how does one know if her Episiotomy site needs to be re stitched? just looked at mine now and it has an opening. . but I'm neither bleeding nor feeling any pain from there..
so scared of going to the hospital

cc tipsyjules , grandyluv and other mamas that hv epi. experience. .

very cute.. God bless your family and give you reasons to smile always. .

singlefade25:
I am fine ma.....how is the baby?

Baby is doing good dear.. thanks.

I'm very sorry for your condition. .

However, stop blaming your mum for everything; she pushed you outside, didn't give you money for food, didn't rent a shop for you, ettttcccc ....

You had/still have your whole life in your hands .. Stop waiting for 'other people' to cater for your needs. . Take charge of your life. .

I wish you the best.

singlefade25:
my madam

Na you be madam mbok o... how are you dear?

ElDeeVee:
Same here too

Lmao..

Had no fears whatsoever cos I was sure of who I was getting married to.. We both looked forward to it..

The only concern I had was how my career would pan out esp as I had to leave my job to join him..but ThankGod everything is taking shape now..

bigfrancis21:
Not at all, from the impression I got his father did not really associate with the Nigerian community here well.

Alright. .

'Beg' the mods to push the thread to the front page ... Nairaland is large; there could be someone from Umudioka with same surname or someone that has a clue...

Pictures will help.. old & new pictures.. preferably the ones he took around same time he traveled to Nigeria last & when he was still in Nigeria..

His father had no Igbo/Nigerian friends over there that can give (some) info about him? He didn't belong to any Nigerian group that could hv his details?

Facebook is another option. . just type the surname and village. .

wish you the best.

iomoge2:
Thats tomorrow?
Oti o
Lol
Am not ready even if i have finished 2 big pineapples and 5 bottles of zobo.
Lol
guess i had contractions yesterday and today... as in just now o.
Very strong but i was expecting d pain at my lower abdomen... instead twas at my navel area...like Zoe was turning
lol

Lemme target 20 10

5 bottles of zobo?
My dear, take it easy o .and you ain't up to 39weeks... your cute baby girl will be with you in due time ok?

concerning contractions, you'll know if you're in labor.. your "waist" or "lower back" will hurt so bad...
except yours will be painless shaa..
just calm down ok?

Thanks mamaoo and alphahandmaiden ..

Thanks a lot onegai ... for the Episiotomy healing suggestion..



Then, mamas can one pump breast and store till December? Light being a non-issue?
Just feel like pumping breast now against when I will resume work..
Don't know if d idea is crazy

ekeminiabasi:
Thanks for your prompt response@akorkor,sugah and cool1. @sugah:he says he just wants his son to have a christian name,and i'm being selfish by insisting on my name as the 2nd name. All his other sibling are in intertribal marriages too and have both tribe names as 1st and 2nd names. His mom has never been cool with that,now she wants to have her way through my husband. It might sound irrelevant to some pple,but it's painful to me,very very. I'm beginning to ask myself why I didn't just marry within my fold.

I think you're actually hurt because he went to discuss with his mum and had to cancel what you both had agreed on earlier..
That's really bad I must say, I will be hurt if it happens to me...
Imagine you taking your mother's opinion over his, he'll feel great right?
Couples should learn to make decisions themselves please.

But my dear, you have to let it go ok?. who quarrel don help? and it has really lingered .. please just accept for the sake of peace in your home..
And your tribal name will be on the certificate afterall.. position shouldn't matter to you oo?

name to me shouldn't really be an issue, bringing the child up right is the most important to me..
I wish you the best, please just let it pass ok?

Thanks a lot feddy27 dear ... I'm actually better now;was bad immediately/few days after birth...

The problem was that I didn't prepare my mind for after birth pains, even to pass gas or faeces was so painful. .. To even laugh, my Episiotomy site go dey pain me

And No, I'm not stressed. . the only thing I do is to breastfeed baby .. my breastmilk flows very well..

We're very much better now..

thanks again dear..

Blessedmum:
You are not alone o, av been experiencing that since I gave birth.

Are you using any drugs to manage yours?


postnatal recovery isn't easy shaa.. didn't prepare my mind for that..
From Episiotomy pains to abdominal pains, swollen feet, general weakness ettcc.. I almost became depressed. . now, that I'm almost healed(say 70%), sudden rise/fall come dey set in

it's well

bicmitchum:
I work and usually I give to my parents. Even though I'm not the type that believes parents should even be collecting anything from their children at all, I try my best to do my part.
But it's getting increasingly difficult lately and really tearing into me. Expenses are mounting, but my parents are still insisting on ridiculous demands. Each time I try to let them understand, they take it that I am not compassionate enough. How can I make them understand that they need to demand less?

@bolded, really?
Parents raise their kids hoping they take care of them at old age and here you're thinking they deserve nothing?
If you don't give your parents, who are you going to give if I may ask?
If you don't take care of them now, is it when they're gone?
Will you also tell your kids same?


Or maybe i don't understand you; What are the "ridiculous demands" they make if you don't mind??

Giving you conditions infront of everyone was disrespectful. These are stuffs he should have simply discussed with you amicably..

Is your fiancee currently studying in the US? If yes, then it's understandable why his dad gave the first condition . He wouldn't want you to terminate his daughter's career. .even though it's not in his place to decide that anymore.

What church do you attend op?

You should have no issue with condition 3 .. but his way of approach?

It's like the family is way richer than yours hence all these 'bruohaha' ..I can imagine what your fiancee is going through trying to convince her family. .
it's up to you to decide whether to go ahead or not, you should know whether the love/happiness you share with your fiance is worth it...
Then nothing like giving marriage a 'shot', marriage no be trial and error. .it's either you're in or out!

Wish you the best..
