After losing a baby at full-term, i will be more than grateful to God for any healthy gender. I am team green,brown,orange,red a.k.a neutral. I suggest we mamas update our Edd's. Mine is 25th. Porting to October very likely.May God make it easy for all of us. Welcome to the new belleful mums and congrats to the newly delivered mums. #PEACE

kemesty:
Congratulations to enkaydewdrop and ekeminiabasi. Your LOs will continually bring joy and laughter to your lives.
Pls house, help me on this one: Went to A&E today after changing 4 pads in less than 3 hours filled with bright red blood and clots. Did scan , baby is doing great but my cervix is slightly open at almost 12 weeks.
I have googled and didn't get satisfactory information. Doc said threatened abortion, given pcm injection and some antibiotics.
Who has experienced this, what is causing this and what should i do. I have been placed on strict bed rest. To see doc in two weeks. Pls don't look and pass.
Cc kaffy4bill , mitchyy, iomoge, sixx, abeg copy other mamas

. Please I don't mean to scare you but I must say you really need to be careful and prayerful. I experienced this same thing in my 1st pregnancy.I started bleeding from the 1st month till I lost the pregnancy.I did not enjoy my honeymoon because I discovered I was pregnant few days to my wedding.I went for scan and was told everything was ok yet I was seriously bleeding with clots for 3monthhs I was putting on pad,i was changing pad like every now and then.Notin wey I no ask google o until the whole thing finally poured out and I was rushed to scanning center and I was told incomplete abortion that I should go and flush the d remaining thing in the hospital.Sorry am just sharing my experience with you and dnt be scared because even this 2nd pregnancy would have been the same if not for God and early treatment because I was bleeding too though not heavy bleeding and no clot.My elder sis and mother inlaw no rest o I was rushed to our family nurse that really took her time to treat me and she explained that my cervix was opened and I could have lost the baby but thank God am 6months plus now.I sincerely do not know anything about pregnancy o bc I never born before.Am sure we have experienced mamas here that will throw more light.

I just dey jealous princessK sha.

Florena:
Hello everyone, I'm 20weeks gone and I'm officially registering as #teamNovember, I've nt had any MS so far, in fact I eat anything palatable, even b4 I started showing dh was doubting my pregnancy saying I connived with d doctor to extort money from him! Funny!! As a ftm, and considering my age, (a little over 20) I'm surprisingly ready for delivery, I dnt knw where d energy is coming from, I'm nt scared one bit. I already have a workout plan of how everything will go, I will practically give birth myself, lol, because I already have those nurses in mind, I won't allow them to push me around.
Let me share some of my plans:
I'm going to be on my feet and start walking immediately I feel contraction or see mucus plug
No going to d hospital no matter how strong d contraction is except if my water breaks early, or if I'm 5mins apart, reason is I feel dat wen dey start inserting hand every hour it causes more pain.
No doctor is going to keep me on d bed, wen it's time to push I pray baba God give me d strength to be on my feet, gravity can help.
My MIL, mum and husband are just making jest of me saying wen labour comes I won't even remember all these. Last week dey forced me to one iya alagbo (traditional) house, dat one was just pressing my stomach anyhow, if u see how I vex for dem saying d mama want to dent my baby's head.
Mama zaynie I go register ooo, just cool ur mind.
Sorry for d long post, ema binu!

wish I will be there to remind u of all these ginger.

kotias003:
Please I really need to know this now, or if its just a myth. Do beverages like milo make the baby so big that there's always a tear?

As a FTM, labour makes me anxious but the story of "tearing" or an episiotomy, hmmm.... Please how can it be avoided?

Please mamas do not waka pass again. My heart cant take it.

. Me I eat everything o.I took milo 2ice yesterday sef.The other day I asked a question about eating too much here but nobody answered me so I took my questions to my Dr and he said it's ok because my 1st 4months was hell,i couldn't take anything even water to the extent that if I see anybody eating I will throw up.I was weighing 75 before belle wen I was 3 month I dropped down to 53.So now that I have gained back my appetite I dey chop die.Anyday wey I no chop fufu or eba I won't get myself.Most times sef dem dey carry me stand up after I don chop 5 ppl fud finish.If the pikin like make e big afterall labour it's sef dey pain weda dem tear me or not I go still go through d pains.Na so our family friend intentionally starved herself during belle just so that the baby won't be big and mk she too for no fat after delivery, the day I saw d poor baby I was so pissed because he was looking so scary like lizard even as he don pass 1yr so.She is seriously regretting it now ppl dey always ask her who get pikin because d pikin no dey like say na she born am.

heartbroken:
Hi sisters. I'm one of the active members of this thread.. I just had to open a new moniker to post this issue. As I'm writing, I'm still in tears. I don't know who I can talk to. My mum is here & has been asking why my eyes are swollen but I just cant tell her as we aren't that close..
I just found out few days ago that my husband of 3yrs slept with a girl through his whatsapp chat. Apparently, he forgot to delete d chat and slept off. I picked his phone to browse & came across d sexually explicit content. My husband was askin d said lady if she liked d way he f**ks, saying she was so sweet he wished he could make her cuum 5times & she was like atleast she did 3times(this is som1 who hasnt taken d effort for me to cuum after d first few months of marriage & i haven't complained.. I enjoy d sexx but I hardly get dere & need a solution to dat), asking why she didn't succk him well & she promised to when next they see, d lady was like she can't wait to be his wife & when he'll b renting d apartment & he said maybe next yr let him find a good place, saying shes all d porn he needs as she sent him nude pics but he had deleted them. dis is som1 who saw me go through all that labour pain & stil in post partum pain yet he had the nerve to sleep with another woman just few days after our comin home. We haven't even named our baby! I'm so hurt and pained.
He knelt down to beg me several my & was crying that he's sorry and she means nothing to him that she was just an object ( as me I was always complainin & not giving it d way he wanted) and tempted him that he stil doesn't know how it happened! Just imagine!!! He said he didnt tel d lady he was married but said he was in a relationship. That if i leave him, he wil commit suicide that he can never marry another woman & all the chat i saw was just scope afterall I know his salary & all expenses he makes.. he has blocked d lady on whatsapp, & told her off to which she responded dat all men are d same, he should delete her pics & won't call/chat him again but she did yesterday once & he was in d kitchen. I'd have picked but d phone went off b4 i could reach it. I told him I have forgiven him but cant forget and trust is broken but he promised to rebuild my trust. We even had a hot romantic session early dis morn but I told him he ll have to do STD test b4 I can allow him wen am fully healed in my vjay as i dont know if he used condom & he was just doin pitiful face.This afternoon, I got a Facebook request from d lady, my husby isnt her fb friend & am wonderin how she got my ID- I accepted then deleted few mins after but I'm thinking of chatting her up. I need your advice in all these my e-sisters. My thoughts are just everywhere. initialy i just wanted to cheat back to get even but now its passed.. Pls dont read & pass, tnk u

. My dear to be sincere have been trying to ignore this your post but I can't maybe because have been through this too even though it was during our engagement but mbok cheating is cheating. The mistake I used to make then was that I was always confronting the bitches not knowing I was hurting myself the more because some of them will take their time to narrate how sweet my man is,one even sent me picture of herself in his room to tell me she really had a good time. The annoying part is that most of those girls no even comot road.Dnt even blame yourself that you're no more as sexy as back then. As I dey so none of those STRANGE WOMEN fine reach me o even with this belle am still very hot and sexy. As for your not wearing clothes my dear dunno if any woman dey wey naked pass me because I passionately dislike wearing clothes especially wen it's just d 2 of us in the house. Even before we got married DH don sabi me for that one, he will even call me to put on clothes that he's coming with his friends so to me I dnt see how that should be a problem.The only thing that's helping me live a happy life is that I don't put my mind there whether he cheats or not though it's not easy especially as he's not in the country so you can imagine the freedom he has that's if he wants to cheat.So all I do is remind him to always use condom because I can't shout. Men are very funny o them go f*ck up finish cum dey look for who to blame.

mymoneygrows:
Sabi mamas pls help o. My Lo is no longer sleeping o. just rolling, twisting, stretching, kicking all day and all night. i am so confused and i cant ignore it as the movement is making me so uncomfortable, what do i do? Out of annoyance today, i ended up slapping myself on the tummy.

Hahahaha I thought I was d only one that experience that.I don slap my belle tire and funny enough whenever I slap my belle d pikin go just calm down. I had to complain @ antenatal yesterday,the only thing they could tell me is that my baby is very active that's after dem don laugh me o because I was so worried that I kept running to MIL to complain.The kicking no funny @all.By the way abeg my september team mates dunno if I should worry about my eating habit o.The rate @which I eat is really alarming and they keep telling me that my baby will be very big and I will be very fat too but I can't help it.Na so I dey shake whenever am hungry even wen I try to just chew biscuits for where! Abeg muna help me.

MY BIRTH STORY.
All my EDD past(25 may,31may(lmp) &4th june and no show. I became more apprehensive as i was approaching 41weeks.

41wks was on tue also my ANC. I went to the hospital hoping not to come back till after delivery,but for where...lol. At the hospital,i was checked and everything was ok,though the matron insisted i do pelvic assessement as a ftm. So wednesday was scheduled for it by 3pm.

Wednesday...8th june. Before meeting with the doc,i did 'do as i do' and 'match past' as an exercise for close to 45mins and for the first time,i had funny waist pain and increase in vagina pressure.
Later that day,i met with the doc and on seeing i am already 41wks,he said friday or sat might not past me. I said Amen oooo!. He did the assessment and raptured the membrane in the process. He asked if i had taken cator oil i said no and told him the side effects,he laughed and said it has been an old method of labour induction but if i feel i dont want to take it no problem but that it helps. He also said i should come for induction by friday evening or sat morning if nothing happens. I left the hospital having funny cramp but concluded it was the exercise i did in the morning while still contemplating wether to buy castor oil or not.

11:06pm wednesday...
I was about to off my data connection when i had this menstrual cramp feeling,i immediately said false labour and wanted to remove my mind there and rest but alas! I LIED cos that was the beginning of labour. Intially,i didnt want to time it but menh it got to a point i had to ooo,the interval were at 6,7,5,11,3mins in no particular order. When the contraction comes,i will hold the window protector to ease the pain but for where??,lying down was the worst. I went to the toilet twice,thank God i didnt buy the castor oil again cos i can imagine the scenerio..All these while i was counting down to 5 or 6am,so that we can move to the hospital,there again I LIED!.

3:48am came with a quadruple of pains that so feared my husband and i,this made us to move to the hospital sharply. We arrived at the hospital around 4:10,immediately they checked me and said it is three fingers and asked i walk around to hasten up the labour.

later,i was given drip that made labour to be contant,mehn I saw labour eye to eye that i was looking for june mamas to dash some...lmao. At a point what i was shouting was 'i want to poo,i want to poo poo,acho mu enyu nsi,the nurses said it is never time that i should wait a little,each time the urge to poo comes,i will manage and surpress it.

TIME TO POO/PUSH
By the time i was asked to push,i tried severely no way,i became tired and was just pooping at them,one of the nurses said,madam,u ve to poo the poo now ooo. I was asked to hold my legs and look at my naval,and no raising of my nyash while pushing.
At a point,the nurse told me where the baby's head is is not good that i have to push harder, na so i gather strength and pushed my baby out.
In all,to the Glory of God,my baby came out at 6:57am weighing 4kg. Of cos i had tear,one they gave me and the one baby gave me.

Waddling mamas : LABOUR is REAL AND NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL.

I apologize for my late BS.

congrats o.Am learning everyday sha.This labour story dey fear me sha.God help me o.

sugarcanebaby:
This might seem like a rant but then it might not.
And so it happened that I had not been able to go to church for some time now. Yesterday, I made up my mind that I was gonna go no matter what which I did. Only for me to sit next to a lady who apparently bathed with her perfume. We came in about the same time so the scent was still quite strong. I didn't get myself from the moment I sat down in church. Initially I wanted to swap places with hubby but I didn't want him sitting next to her(lol).

All of a sudden I started feeling dizzy, breathless, feeling like I was choking at the same time. Had to leave the church auditorium to sit in the car. That was the end of church for me today because I didn't get relief till service ended.

I was so annoyed! See me wanting to go to church today and this woman from God know where had to go spoil it all for me.

Any mamas with such experience?

Ok na! I just recently started using perf and deodorant o.The perfume tin really caused problem between me and hubby during my 1st month.The only person that understood what I was going through was my SIL maybe because she went through same tin.My hubby was so annoying because that was when he was really using perfume and forming hugging and peeking when him dey go work.The only thing I was using was powder.I couldn't hug hubby when sleeping because even after taking his shower he was still scenting perfume. My dear that period was hell for me.I just thank God am over it now.

Iyabetajos:
My son Oluwatimileyin Andre went to be with the Lord yesterday at 11'40pm. It's well with my family. God bless you all for your prayers.

eeeeewwww so sorry my dear. It's well with you.

zimunachimdi:

Momma Enkaydewdrop n momma Fortius n all d kpekusing mamas,shebi una don c wetin una cause??
After I don send dh msg finish n em don reply dey hurry home,biatch AF z bk,biatch couldn't stay away 4just dis night.. hv bin breastfeeding 4 almost 7months,hv prayed 4it to come bk n save me some days I didn't wanna kpekush,d yeye gal didn't show,just dis night,dh wil say I was just taunting him,kai.... I'm nt happy ooo,wat do I do As I felt it tickling down n rushed to d bathroom n saw her royal redness,I hv bin praying 4it to just go bk n come bk in d mawny,d yeye gal no gree,it z stil tickling.. I didnt even feel any sign,none at all... Kai kai kai kai kai

. Mama abeg no vex o but permit me to laugh because it's so funny and I can relate perfectly well.Should I sing rain rain go away come again another day...... for you?

Peach45:
Abeg mama in d house, I want to suggest something. Like one mama mentioned "threadkpekus" we shud ve a day we wud all come out n talk abt it..some of us here are doing holy holy even in our marriages. (some would say I cannot do dis style or cannot touch his cappo or will nt allow DH touch our clit) Share some stuff n we wud all learn....my prayers for all of us is dat strange woman wud not locate our husband in Jesus Name, Amen

Talking about strange woman mbok it's not our portion o.Because na during pregnancy wey strange women dey like showcase theirsef.Thats how one guy said his wife dey irritate am as she became pregnant so, just because she's now fat,dark,very wide nose and according to him he hates making love to her because of her plenty discharge and the wife likes to be sucked. He said he's regretting why he married her that he wasn't expecting dis from the wife.I was like some men can be so callous sha.

JUMAYIN:
I think its painful for som ppl n not painful for some coz manhoo.d size differs...yea, the only style I enjoy most is doggie,coz it hits my gspot,especially standing ovation doggie.

I guess so but which one be standing ovation again mbok?I sincerely want to learn o but I just hope I won't forget bfor next year sha.

enkaydewdrop:
Ouch, yours even sounds more painful than mine... How do others enjoy it?
Maybe we'll need to do it more frequently...

That's what we will be doing because it really drives men crazy.

enkaydewdrop:
I think say na only me doggy dey pain oh...

no be only you o.Infact I was so shocked wen one of my naughty course mates complained how painful doggy style can be. Even if everybody complain she no suppose follow bc she was very razz.Since I became sexually active na just 2ice I don try doggy. 1st was when I was still dating DH and that was because I was seriously tipsy and didn't know what I was doing.The second doggy produced this belle so.I say make I try wetin one of fwens that had issues with getting pregnant advised I do.As DH just came back from the airport na so I tell am say I wan surprise am o.I dragged him to the toilet because I didn't want distractions from friends and family wey dey cum ask of chocolate. He was so surprised when I told him I wanted it from behind.He said av bin watching too much blue films.My dear believe me for 2weekss I couldn't pee o,he had to call our family Dr to explain.I was placed on antibiotics because my vjay bin tear and I didn't even enjoy anything twas just him that was moaning loudly. So I dey jealous women wey dey enjoy doggy.
