Minmin2323:
Good afternoon mamas,I have been craving the nescafe 3 in 1 coffee for a month now,but right now I don't think I can hold it any longer, please is it safe to take just this once?

I craved and drank it almost every day some part of my first trimester, I couldn't hold it. Google says not more than a cup of coffee a day, but I tried not to finish one satchel at a time.

Abeg na the normal heat we de see for 9ja during harmattan betweeen Jan-Feb. In my city some Oyibo said that are not coming out tomorrow that they might die. Temperatures in my city will hit 40-41 degrees record high.

My dear, today pass naija harmattan where I dey o, I never knew UK can get this hot, I was forced to get into my kids tiny blow-up backyard pool with them as it hit 41° in my city. If tomorrow will be hotter, I will just connect water hose on my head

B.A! B.A!!

Hey!! Where is the dancing emoji oooooo.
Finally July babies are beginning to pop

Congratulations mama, it's the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our sight

StarryV:
Mama I'm here o. Seriously on low key mode. I'm yet to travel because of this my new position at work. Hopefully I'll travel at the end of this month.
Went for my antenatal visit today and was asked to come next week for pelvic examination. Whatever that means, it sounds scary sha and I'm thinking of dodging it abeg what's that and how is it done?

@ dodging it.
Don't be scared, at this point nothing can be more painful than the birth itself and I doubt it'll even be painful cos they wouldn't tamper with your cervix. I've never had one done anyway and I believe at this point usually a scan should tell them what they need to know, but if your doctor says so, then go for it..
We all on low-key mode o, it's well. Keep us informed when u do go for it.❤️

Sad case, shameless duo.

iCauseTrouble:
Why not buy agbado and cassava so that you can start getting used to it now

Abi ooo

okeysoninv:
their tax is the least is it not?. how much is house rent ? £ 200- 300 outside London as a single person. your other bills can never reach £150, transportation is subsidized , you can't enter uk today and starts driving next day. public transport is subsidized.many Nigeria are making it over there , the hardworking ones. so forget story.

Now I See your perspective you have absolutely No idea what you're talking about... That's why you're typing what you're typing. Nevermind. I leave you with this statement "Travel and see".

casualobserver:
What exactly do you mean by encourage? Let me explain it to you as someone who has a British passport has live abroad for many years but returned home.

The truth is life over there is a sort of bondage for someone with a Nigerian mindset. You are constantly working to pay bills , no matter how much you earn your expenses rise such that you are a slave to your job, the system entraps you in ways I can’t describe here for sake of brevity, unless you are amongst the few who can establish a means of income in the multiples of hundreds of thousands be it dollars be it pounds. Otherwise yes you will eat well and enjoy certain basics that may not be available in Nigeria for most Nigerians but there are many negative intangibles especially for someone raised in Nigeria.

Unless you are a high paying job, $100-200k + life is not a bed of roses. Even at that level you are struggling but can afford things to mitigate the struggles like holidays back home or other destinations. In theory you will be better off than in Nigeria initially but life is such that once you overcome the basic sufferings back in Nigeria, the intangible negatives start to matter. I am back in Nigeria and I wouldn’t go back. I am lucky I can travel out when I am tired of Nigeria but I will never again live abroad….unless I am forced to. With all the problems of Nigeria, there is no place like home. There is a sense of freedom and self worth in Nigeria you have that you lose when you go abroad, that’s one of the intangibles I talk about. No matter what you will always be a nobody abroad….that’s another!!!

Would I encourage anyone to move abroad. It’s a hard question because you will pay a huge psychological price for moving abroad, one you will not understand until you get there and one I can never explain to you until you have experienced it. What I would say is, if you want to go abroad, have a mission and come back with if 5 years!!! I won’t encourage or discourage anyone!!! I wouldn’t actively encourage anyone because I don’t want to be the one responsible for selling you a dream that will not match your reality!!!!

I wish I could like your post more than once or make everyone listen to/read this but sadly they will never understand until they come here and see the life for themselves. I personally made the decision that I won't live all my life in this UK, with tier2 visa I hope we get a British passport sooner than later, once I get that with my kids, we're homebound. The passport is just so we can travel as we like cos of the somewhat volatile nature of Nigeria otherwise, NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

okeysoninv:
change ur orientation, many are finding it easy. move out of London, look for a care work, you won't pay tax. tell me how you won't make it.

Firstly, I'm not in London. Secondly, Who says care workers don't pay tax? You think it's only about tax? What about Ur bills, houserent, car insurance, fuel/diesel for car or transportation? TV licence and other smaller bills? You're definitely getting information from illegal immigrants or people that are squatting. Life out here is not rosy, you have to work for every pence, it definitely becomes easier after a while but not as many portray it from Nigeria.

okeysoninv:
they want to see it like they are finding it difficult but that's not reality over there. Nigerians are like people that don't want you to over shine them , i.e the reason of all the discouragement.

My dear, a lot of people are finding it difficult over here o, I'm currently in UK so I know what I'm saying. But it's not all bad.

DannyFX2638:
this is where the problem is .
Most people refuse to come back not because of they don't want to , They are afraid of how the society will see them ..

Imagine telling your guys that you are going to Canada then after some months , You come empty handed .. haaa .. You reason am nahh..

Ordinary your village you day go , u go buy full bag.. Make them no go see you as failure , How much more Overseas?

People don't understand this part. This is exactly the reason so many that have travelled can't think of coming back now.

okeysoninv:
ask them to come back, they will abruptly refuse

Even if they're finding it difficult there coming back most likely isn't an option because most of them sold all they had to go there so they have to endure at all cost, not because they're enjoying it too much.

wonyi:
Mama Zaynie,please what are the natural ways to treat yeast infection

For mild yeast infection in first trimester, u can try a warm water sitz bath with ACV only and apply topical visita plus cream only on the vulva. If it's really a mild case, then this will help a lot, if it's a serious case, locate your doctor please.

AbleGodDidIt:
mama d pushing no be here ooo! Braxton hicks been so intense lately too! The Lord is our strength

Yes o, my midwife said the Braxton Hicks is what helps the baby get into heads down, birthing position so we're in for a loooonnnng ride with that one.
God indeed is our muscle right now

novia22:
Cappo this belle don show me shege...the pelvic pain is humbling..I can't eat whatever I cook even when it's what I was craving. Today I shamelessly drove to an akara seller and asked for to fry fresh Akara for me but allow it burn small. The woman was just laughing. That's the only thing I have had today with some oranges.

abike12:
what is the basis of your belief that it is too early? have you been pregnant before or do you have a uterus? There's a pregnant woman living with you and telling you how she's feeling but you want strangers to validate her symptoms... Why is that?

Mama abike12, please calm down this is not how to respond. That's a concerned husband talking and I see nothing wrong with his statements. He's not arguing with anybody so please don't take this personal.

omotolanibaby:
am in the same shoes as urs ,was told the baby weight is much for his gestation age. .I was advise to eat more healthy, eating early before 7pm, more vegetables and fruits in my diet.to stop sugary drinks and tea until I give birth and excerising more like walking.

But I walk a lot here o, It's well. I've picked a couple things I can apply from this Ur advice. Thanks ma

sugarcoatted:
Lol, its not always food that makes baby big. Genes too contribute. Dont go and starve yourself in the name of making your baby not to be big. Baby that will be big will still be big

Thanks mama, I can say too it's not food cos I don't eat much. I just pray he should not be big abeg o

Omakraid:
Mama continue to eat healthy joor... You need it to push out your LO... Me wey I chop the whole world, I was taking 2 food flasks to work plus other snacks ooo, my tommy was very big but my baby was 2.5 , scan was saying 3.
Baby that will be big will be big oo, safe delivery to you

Thanks mama. Honestly since yesterday I've been thinking about it o, but I've been booked for a scan tomorrow I hope to get better news.

Mama's my mouth don close ooo
Can't sit comfortably, can't walk well, sleep nko?
Plus my midwife is saying my baby is big already @34 weeks
Please what can I do at this stage to control his weight? I hardly even have appetite so I wonder where the big size is coming from

Ogiq:
Mamas in the house, join me thank God.
Scan revealed TRIPLETS ooooooo.
I am both super excited and scared.
We are just beginning and it’s a long road ahead.
We did IVF.
Kindly recommend good centres that manage multiple birth pregnancies very well especially around Ikeja/ Berger/ Maryland axis.
Thanks

Wow. Congratulations to you dear.
Don't be scared, God that started it will carry you to the end, you will carry to term and deliver safely in Jesus name, Amen.

May we not bring devils into our homes with our own hands.

Pweetiebabe:
Good day mamas, PLS how safe is Lonart or Coartem or Amatem in the 2nd trimester(23weeks). I have been down with body pain since weekend but Catarrh and Cough with headache and Cold come join(only in this my small body) .. I chatted with d Consultant on d Whatsapp group they open for us @ ANC(badagry GH). The Dr ask me to get either of those drugs with Piriton and Paracetamol. So I want to know how safe they are

I have taken Lonart in previous pregnancy
I have taken Amatel softgel this pregnancy.
Usually artemeter & lumefantrine combination antimalaria tabs are safe in 2nd and 3rd trimesters. It's only avoided in first trimester.
I have never been prescribed piriton for anything in pregnancy though so I don't know of that.
You can still ask from a registered pharmacist when you go to buy it just to ease your fears.
