Same here oo, neither vomited not spit sef but you see hunger, ee dey show me shege.

Why not use same method to find Yahaya Bello. Mtcheeew!

Crestaria:
No. My bathing water is always warm. I just got home now. Doctor said I should observe strict bed rest for a week and go back for another scan but if there is any other bleeding he has no other option than to admit me,that the clot spotting is from the placenta. Cos the scan shows the fetus is doing fine. Will be 8 weeks tomorrow.

All will be well my dear. This means you're in Team April, 25!
Don't worry you'll carry to full term! E-hugs to you ma

Crestaria:

StarryV:
kokaiyeeee it's so good to see /read you again. Welcome to the journey. I hope you still remember me. Was in Team Aug 2022. TTCing again o. Just hope I'll join team April,25

...and my hope was not dashed! Officially Team April, 25.

kokaiye:
oh my starryV!!! How can I forget u na? Can never forget u lailai... I remember u very well as if it was yesterday. Pls do n come back quickly ooo... God that did it 4 u then will definitely do it again..Amen.... Target that egg(s) coming next n hold daddy very tightly on dt day.. Wanna hear u got ur bfp next month... So shall it be by God grace... Nice to hear from u again.

I see that u are asking about zobo while trying to conceive... Pls avoid it 4 now... Zobo has chemical properties that have d ability to thin a woman's uterus wall membrane... It won't allow implantation to take place even though d egg got fertilised... Weak womb wall membrane can also lead to chemical pregnancy ( chemical pregnancy may be weak implantation of d fertilised egg... U gt ur positive but it's gonna be faint... N d egg may fall off d womb wall n miscarriage happens btwee 4-5weeks of pregnancy). People take zobo at full term so they can go into labour that is how strong that hibiscus flower drink is... But zobo may not even do anything if one get stronger body system but it's better to avoid that natural herb tea... It is a medicine that a woman trying 4 a baby n pregnant women should avoid.

Hahahahahaahahahhhh I haff returned oooo. Did a P. Test this morning and it came out POSITIVE!!!
Finally o, Team April, 2025 signing in...

Please I miss reading BAs and BSs, what's happening na

B.S! B.S!
Wow, so it's finally my turn to share a birth story? God is good o.
***clears throat**, *blows air into the microphone*
I got married to the love of my life on 10th April, 2021 although my husband was doing as if he's not interested in babies but me i was abeg. So I guess i was the only one TTCing and since na only me know my fertile window i always journey down to visit hubby with the hope of getting pregnant. I started the TTC journey in June, 2021, kept trying every month until November last year when my mind don commot for the whole thing. I blamed my inability to conceive on the fact that i was living far apart from hubby because of work. So I decided to stop trying till maybe after December, 2021 when i intended resigning from my place of work to re-unite with my husband and then start trying again. But to the glory of God I did not see my Dec period o. I lost it in November but realized it in the first week of Dec. that was how my preggy journey began...
*Sips a cup of juice**
*FIRST TRIMESTER* First trimester got me wondering if I was actually pregnant because I waited earnestly for all the signs and symptoms and morning sickness. But I was disappointed, none showed. No spitting, no vomiting, no too much sleep, no headaches, no sickness, nothing at all except for excessive hunger. I wasn't the eating type before conception but I tripled my food intake and I just couldn't endure hunger for one minute. I eat before leaving the house, I carry plenty food to work and I'll eat dinner twice before sleeping. It was that terrible. I had a threatened miscarriage at 12weeks when I was almost done with the first trimester. To God be the glory my baby chose to stay with me and I decided to register for antenatal immediately.
*SECOND TRIMESTER* This was supposed to be the almighty honeymoon stage but trust me I did not see any honey in the moon as excessive hunger dealt with me continuously. It was very smooth except for the hunger and the weakness that comes with the hunger.
*THIRD TRIMESTER* This stage sincerely for me was a mixture of excitement and fear as I didn't know what to expect but I was hopeful and diligent in obeying the dos and don't of pregnancy. Like taking of routine drugs, consumption of fruits and vegetables etc... Let me also add that the third trimester stage brought some changes in my life like promotion at work place, new and better job for hubby etc. I finally travelled in the last week of July to go meet my husband and to prepare to welcome our baby.
I actually thought my baby would come at 38weeks. (Whatever gave me the assurance) but he didn't. 38wks + to 40wks+ was the hardest time to wait, I was disappointed, angry and anxious coupled with incessant calls from friends and family asking "you don born". Mtcheeew. So annoying

*Fast forward to the delivery*
40wks+5days contraction became more frequent, so I decided to call the hospital to complain. I was asked to come and be checked. I happily dressed up and was hoping I would call hubby from the hospital to bring bag but I was disappointed, they said I was having a false labor. I angrily went home. But the contractions didn't stop. It kept increasing and became more intensed. I sha prepared myself incase of emergency. Hubby got home from work that evening, I told him we might be going to the hospital that night. We already made arrangements with a driver that will carry us to the hospital. The contractions grew stronger and stronger by the minutes and by 2am we left for the hospital. As we got to the hospital, na so one nurse wey no get fear of God wan frustrate us. She no even pity my condition she was busy checking the things I brought and comparing them with the hospital list. "This tissue is small, this cotton wool is not large bla bla bla" after all the blabbing hubby gave her some money she then calm down and I was admitted. I was checked, omo I could swear that I was at least 9cm dilated but noo they said I was only 4cm and I was like "whaaaaaaaaat?"
I was given hot glucose water to be sipping and was told to stand and lean at the pillar at every contraction. I kept awake till 6am. I begged them to check me again, they did and it was just 7cm haaa nawa o. I guess I didn't have a fast labor. The contractions were back to back and didn't stop till 4pm when I started shouting that I wanted to poo lol. All of a sudden I felt my water broke. It poured out once with speed and then my mum in law who later joined me in the hospital rushed and called the nurses and I was hurried into the labor room. They checked and said I was fully dilated and I should let them know whenever it feels like I want to poo. They fixed the drip and other things needed for the project. Lol. I started shouting again "I wantu poo o" the woman asked me to go ahead and poo. I pushed, nothing came out. She said if I want to poo I should hold my ankle and look at my navel (belly button) and then poo. I obeyed. The next push my baby was out crying his lungs out. Sincerely I didn't believe it because I thought we were just starting the labor process so I was expecting to hear "the head is out, push harder etc" but surprisingly two unserious pushes brought out my baby with a little tear. The stitching of that tear happened to be the biggest pain I've ever felt all my life. Afterwards I stood up and was escorted by nurses who were singing my praise and carrying my baby. We went back to the ward, they laid baby beside me, I didn't bother looking at my baby's face. I only laid down on my bed and cried. After much consolation from MIL I then remembered to look at my baby's face and behold the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. He has a very deep dimple like his dad. What more can I say?
To God be the glory. Great things he has done.
Indeed we went, we saw and we have conquered. We are 1 week old today.
Thank you beautiful Mamas and Papas for the show of love and concern during those days that seemed like months. I'm really grateful.
Throwing baby dusts to all TTC mums and swift delivery to all the waddling mamas. The God wey do am for me, go do am for you too.
Thank you everyone.
**Signing out of August, 2022. We'll meet again in 2024. Lol.
BS submitted @Cappo Sassy256

Omo!! na me get this B.S?
Where are my team members that year? 2024 don dey go ooo

Wow has this really been confirmed to be a scam?

Good evening Mums and Dads. Please who is familiar with this medicine (picture attached) and how safe is it for an 11 months old baby. Who has been stooling for the past 4 days.
Your honest response would greatly be appreciated.

Good afternoon sweet Mama's/papas.
This my question might be funny sha but I sincerely want to know.

What and what should a baby of 10 months be eating please. Lemme know if I'm on the wrong track. When are we supposed to stop feeding babies with pap?

Good Morning Mamas and Papas. Please at what age can we start brushing our baby's teeth. My baby started teething at 4 months. He's currently 9 months old and has about 8 and half teeth. We've gradually started introducing solid foods. When can we start brushing those teeth abeg

Thegamingorca:



Why in god's name were you feeding this baby pap and formula?

I don't understand

Good Morning sweet mothers please help a first time mum.
My baby is 5 months 2 weeks, he is teething at the moment. He has refused to eat. He is Neither accepting formula nor pap and seldom sucks breast. To make the matter worse he has been stooling incessantly and has obviously slimmed down. I've administered Bonababe to him and I don't see it helping the matter. I sincerely don't know what else to do. Someone recommended zinc and oral drip, I really don't know about them. Please Your kind advise will be appreciated.
NB: He's not running temperature o. Only appetite loss and incessant stooling. Please help.

UmmuFarrah:
Mamas. My baby is just almost 5months but she shows interest a lot in eating whatever she sees us eating. Like she cries, drag whatever you are eating with you, water too but she hate bottles so I was thinking maybe we should buy her cereal like cerelac because I've started to give her bananas and some finger food sef like mashed potatoes (very little though) . What do y'all think please, her daddy said we're just starving her but me, I'm skeptical🤨.

Na my story you just dey tell like this I heard cerelac is from 6months old

Omakraid:

Since he shows interest in cooked food, wait a little more and give him.. But for now, breast feed and formula fees to ensure he doesn't go hungry...

When I asked what you made the pap with, I mean things like corn, millet and co

Ok dear. Its Corn, millet and guinea corn.

Omakraid:

Hmmmn, this is serious... Continue to feed him the pap o. Try playing nursery Rhymes you know he likes maybe he'll open his mouth. When I started, I'd pin my girl to my body and keep telling her to open her mouth but now it's all easy..
Does he shown interest in other cooked meals?

Modified - what did you make the pap with? Cos I remember my baby kept rejecting pap when I was adding soyabeans until I stopped it

Yes he shows interest in cooked food. I usually put a little soup into his mouth and he doesn't resist.

I add only milk o. I discontinued crayfish because it was obvious he didn't like it. So milk it's the only thing I add to his pap.

Good evening Mamas in the house. Please help a first time mum. My baby is 5 months old and has refused to take pap. I've used every available tactics to make him take it. I've made it light, watery, and even with plenty milk but as long as it is pap, he won't take. Currently he is feeding on only formula and breast milk and I'm so clueless of what to introduce to him. I heard cerelac is from 6 months. Please help o. What else can I feed my baby with.
