Keep trying to pull out, can b painful tho and dh too shld suck for you
Hope dis helps

Yes, pulling out helps as nurse Kaffy said but if it gives u strong contractions, pls stop o. Mine used to make me contract seriously then ( probably aided by d fact that I started having strong Braxton hicks frm 15wks) so I had to stop to avoid preterm labour. I jst continued to clean. Latching on was a bit difficult at first when baby arrived but now he's a pro at it. Nurse kaffy4bill hw r d kids? Ise nko o? Emi a si'ka inshaAllaah

[quote author=Favouredmom post=46807277]Thanks for your reply. I once asked someone during my first trimester and she said the spices used may be harmful to a growing foetus, that's why I asked here for clarification

It's advised to avoid anything that can trigger purging in pregnancy ( especially early stage) so if u like ur pepper soup spicy ( pepperish as we call it) , it's better to take a break for awhile cos I believe spicy foods make sm ppl purge. I ate pepper soup during pregnancy bt ALWAYS prepared by me so I know hw much spice/pepper i'm putting inside.

Congrats ekeminiabasi n okeneoghe.....( aff murdered her moniker oo may God bless ur LOs kisses to them

Congratulations dear! We serve an awesome God. Don't even tell anyone till you sart showing. If dem wan vex make dem vex o!

Abi o. Na everything pipu dey vex for; u tell dem or nt dem go still find sontin to vex for so Y dnt u jst do u n give them d whole surprise package (baby) news later? Not even for fear of anyone jinxing it bt Y must u announce it if u dnt want to we ttcd for abt 1yr n everybody wanted to start pressuring us na so my dh handle them especially MIL n d rest pipu for en side so dey started praying for us instead whenever they called. When we conceived we decided nt to announce to anyone until baby came nt even my own sisters. It wasn't for d fear of jinx but it's even merrier when u announce d arrival of baby instead IMO bt it was easy for us to do then cos we'r all alone here in Abj, all our families r in Lagos n Abeokuta. I told my immediate older sis n my only friend abt a month to my EDD month n dh prepared MIL's mind by telling her she wld come visit us that month since she had been wanting to come visit since mama wanted to know wch date, dh told her nt to worry dt he'll let her know up until baby arrived, everyone wld still call n pray for God to "answer us on time" we go smile n say Amen ooo. Dey wld give plenty suggestions to try out, we go say we dey do evry evry until d D-day when we announced to evry1 that baby is here o they were all pleasantly shocked we had him in d month of our 2nd anniversary, on our anniversary day dh pointed out to MIL dt "mama, 2day na exactly 2yrs wey we go take am (i.e me) for en papa house o" n she was like really?! she thought it haf rily teyed ni o lol bt I missed out on all d pampering I wld av gotten frm MIL already wch I never failed to voice out whenever I wanted ice cream n meat pie n dh wld say no
Anewsong3 d koko of my tory be say, enjoy urself n ur precious gift n tell ppl whenever u want, anybody cannor be happy more than u wey God give. to him already. Thank God for His mercies

Mama Ekene welcome back, hw's handsome Ekene bobo? I dnt think that counts as adding salt to injury. U can't say u didn't feel what u felt na neither cld u change what u felt, u can only learn frm ur experience. Every body n evry baby is different, so is evry birth. Everyone can't av it easy n everyone doesn't av it bad. That's d essence of sharing our birth experiences so that moms-to-be can learn to keep an open mind.
@iomoge2 different strokes for different folks. I'm glad I didn't even think to watch live birth videos o cos I accidentally watched one a couple of months back n I almost cldn't sleep that night. Thank God it wasn't while I was pregnant.
Fasting mamas, hw's iftar going? A ku abaja oni.
*seems i've been in a chatty mood today*

iomoge2:
Chia. Should I say genes helped u n your sister n mum....
Yes... It's genes.
Lol

OK. Me sef gat the genes o.
Will share my mums bs for 4 kids but lemme born my own first.
Lol
My grand mum and all her kids have the same easy labour like film trick.
Am d first grand child and I pray I carry same... Amen

OK. Why am scared is simple.
My hoohaa is tight. The entrance is very tiny but I have wide pelvic.
Secondly. My MIL gave birth to mighty kids. All their birth ever has been cs even to the children's children.

Am earnestly praying for painless vd. Am praying to carry my mum n her siblings leg. Even my dad side, vd all through.

@UmmiTwins, don't mind me.
I will continue watching life birth on YouTube to give myself mind. Lol
I watch it alot during ttc. But now. Am just concerned with different stages of pregnancy.
I just want to see baby beside me. No cs or cut. No mad pains no tear...
I hope it's not too much to ask for.

Amen

Lol. It's nt o, frm ur mouth to God's hearing. Bt dat "seeing baby by ur side" part.....
I dnt know if ur hoohaa is tighter than mine o cos even now after 1 baby, we can't kpekus without lubricant; it's that tight(dnt know if giving birth made it even tigher)
For my pelvis, I Ws nearly tiny pre-pregnancy. Never weighed more than 45-47kg, very slim. N in my 30-something yrs of life, birthing a whole human has been the most wonderful thing i've ever experienced. I mean that it's a beautiful experience for any woman. the pain isn't anything that anyone can't bear IMO (if no complications), n it's nt a must that u'll av a tear FTM or not, sm women even claim to have painless deliveries so jst enjoy ur pregnancy n go wt d flow, ur baby wl be by ur side before u know it.....in due time

mitchyy:
UmmTwins2, thanks for sharing. When you gave birth at 37weeks, your baby had no issues abi? Dr has said my baby might come at 37weeks since he's already big and i'm having so many pre-labor symptoms. I'm okay with it too but some pple say baby wont be fully mature at 37weeks

Nope. None whatsoever. He's as healthy as can be. Since birth, not even a single case of cattarh or even skin issue; no single rash sef. Very strong n chubby. He's standing unsupported at 8 months. N no complications whatsoever on my part too; evry signs/symptoms of pregnancy or delivery disappeared almost immediately. 37wks is term (early term) nt 38. My friend had her baby at 36wks, he's 1 1/2yrs now n he's doing very fine. @Cutestmummy on NL had her baby at 36w2days. No probs if Hansel decides to come now, it's fine. We started kpekusing like evryday from 30wk-ish n long walks started at exactly 36wks. I still went shopping for hrs a day before delivery. That Ws all I did to prepare for labor. 37wks gestation is term.

Kunmimum:
Una dey frighten us FTM.

2 of my friends (both FTM) had their babies without tear. Also, their labour was very short and without much pain(they both testified to it.)
One of them even recommended a book that she read which she believes helped her; Supernatural delivery. I got it and have started reading it. To be honest I am not so scared of labour.

My mum had 7 children, and she keeps on saying its not as bad as we hear.
Me i believe them, and am now looking forward to seeing my princess.
So please o, be positive and hopeful.

lol. Seriously I dnt think anyone is trying to frighten anybody o. On d contrary, I think FTMs naturally frighten themselves ( if that makes any sense Experienced mamas (I mean dt av given birth at least once) keep pointing out dt FTMs shld calm down, labor/delivery is nt so bad, tears or not u'll be fine. Jst go with d flow, be in tune with ur body, be knowledgeable BUT keep an open mind, listen to ur doc's/midwife's instructions n dnt form super woman. Simple. When I Ws pregnant, every hospital I went to before deciding wch one to register wt, I go ask like how often their patients dey geh tears during delivery? Lol I Ws dt scared of tear. once in a while fear of d D-day wld creep into my mind n i'd tell masef, I sha wee born one day noni, n women av been doing it since d beginning of time. When labour started, I didn't remember fear. U'd only be concerned wt getting ur baby out n being free at last. I gave birth at 37wks1day after less than 2hrs of labor, I had tear bt by d 3rd day I wasn't feeling anything again. Resumed kpekus 3wks postpartum. N believe me, d longer throat to do it all over again been dey do me since 2wks postpartum, bt AF is yet to resume after 8 months+. I wish I didn't bother my pretty head abt labor/delivery n tears. Seriously. So FTMs, PLS CALM DOWN, LABOR o, DELIVERY o, TEAR o, THEY AREN'T SO BAD. U R A WOMAN, U WERE BORN TO DO THIS. The job requirements doesn't include YRS OF EXPERIENCE To be able to hold ur precious cuties in ur arms n kiss their chubby cheeks, kiss them all over, count their tiny toes n fingers, stare dreamily at them nonstop like u can't believe they'r all urs, U HAVE TO BIRTH THEM first! so calm down mamas, we shall read everyone, s sweet BSTs here inshaAllaah.
Ds is for FTMs like iomoge2 especially fear fear mama scared of tear

mitchyy:
I think she means maternity homes, where some Iyas handle deliveries locally. They are not registered hospitals. Its majorly for deliveries

yes, majorly for delivery but not all of them are unregistered. I used a maternity home; it's registered and the midwife there is a qualified, very experienced matron in National hospital. I registered at a private hospital initially before registering at d maternity home at 24wks n I thank God I did. The nurses at d hospital were so careless (e.g giving u a container wt another patient's name already on it to pee in for urine test, even though I had to be d one reminding them that they've nt done any urine test for me; n ds Ws like on my 3rd appointment o, d blood test results nko? It Ws in my presence there d doctor Ws copying it out of his Nokia torchlight fone) n d doctor wld be giving flimsy excuses for their carelessness when u complain to him. If I start to list all my complaints to them here, I wee nor finish today. Thank God I Ws a "professional mommy" like ma'am zaynie n read everything readable on pregnancy n childbirth like I wan write professional exam n wld ask questions abt everything so tey d doctor go say "Nawah o, na everything u sabi" lol when I stopped going there for ANC, up till today dem no call once to check say hw far o, hw u dey, ur pikin never reach to born (wen pikin sef don reach 8 months) Lol n they knew me very well cos I Ws d only ANC patient wearing hijab there dat time coupled wt my curious nature wt them. In all, we shld jst always make informed decisions, open eyes wella, ask questions whenever necessary n above all, PRAY for God's favor n mercy
phew see me don write novel on top mitchyy's comment, na Y I dey always peep jejely o cos I too write epistle. Make ona no vex abeg

I'm sooo sorry iyabetajos, dnt know what to say. May God comfort u n replace ur loss with better. May God wipe ur tears very soon. Ameen. It's well with u n family.

@Erooluwa, no Prince and princess diaper now, the company is having importation challenges. Any one you see is either fake or old stock. Pls look for other brands to use for the main time.

woah. Really? We bought d maxi pack (jumbo) that we'r using now abt 2wks ago, Hp no be fake so? We bought molfix before that bought we didn't enjoy it at all, hence why we went back to prince n Princess. Abeg, how do we recognize d original frm fake?

Congrats Boomz n lawvlypearl,;welcome to vigilante. welcome to d world little angels. May u only know d beautiful side of life o. Amin.
Beyedew Lolz I don laff myself Tata for here wt ur post. u reminded me of all my shakara dt "o ti o, no co-sleeping,baby is going to be 'mr-independent' frm day one.....fortunately n unfortunately, I eventually cldnt get a cot cos of finance so we settled for that baby bed dt comes wt net even though I bought 2 of that sef ( story for another day ) I tell u we didn't use it more than a month cos of mosquitoes. All d sleep suit, hand mitts, cap etc etc didn't stop them Believe me, BHaram gat nothing on these vampire mosquitoes in our area, n DS can suck for Africa. I had to open d net n bring him out to nurse like evry 10mins n I cldn't risk locking d vampires in with him so we had to accept defeat n save all d "independence lessons " for our next LO mashaAllaah, mo'ja mo'sa l'an m'akinkanju l'oju ogun, u run to fight another day DS is 7months+ now n still sleeps with us in d family bed mosquito net. His health is more important. So dnt lose hope, ur coming Los may love d cot. Ur money no go waste u hia

Present my able captain. Am team purple. I was 15wks yesterday. I don't knw if wat I have is bump or big stomach sef cause I use to hav big stomach. My weight has been 58kg since dis pregnancy till week 12 and i use to weigh 60kg b4 pregnancy I pray in my 16th week appointment I shld have increase. Welcome to d new Nov mamas.
@mama dat asked for gud government hospital in Abuja I heard Maitama general hospital is gud.

I went to book at Nyanyan General Hospital today u need to see the crowd. I was number 214 on d list at about 7am and we were almost 500 dere. My registration month is August can u believe it, thk God I have private dat am using though yet to start antenatal dere.

#TeamNovemberForSupernaturalDeliver#

That Nyanya General Hospital no be am o, I went there last year to register at 4 months n was given a date to come back abt 2 months after when i'd be 6 months gone already despite giving them my LMP o. I said to myself dt no wonder I didn't see any small bump like my own there except heavily pregnant women. So that means any pregnancy dt might need little assistance go don comot tey tey be dat o before ANC go start sef I went on d said date n even answered questions in their health talk class o, only for them to still send me back that I came late. I jejely settled for d private I was using. Their own too much

Prettyhurts:
39 weeks, 0cm dilated. Hope there's no problem?? Just worried

Don't worry pls,u'r nt past ur due date so Y worry? At exactly 37wks, scan showed that my cervix was firmly closed, nothing was happening down there n it gave EDD as 31st Oct (didn't rely on dt date though seeing as it Ws so late in my pregnancy) bt I Ws still thinking I might port to November cos all my scans gave btw 20th to 31st, only for me to give birth abt 24hrs later on 10th at 37w1day. So relax yr mind, u'll soon be missing all ds "u $ me" moments wt ur lo o, when u have him/her to urself it's well wt u dear, u'll soon share ur BS by God's grace.

Madam lovinam, *sigh* reading things like this jst makes me afraid. Fear for even the unborn children that didn't ask to be brought into ds rotten, despicable wicked world in fact makes u second guess having kids atimes sef evil everywhere. It's well wt our kids inshaAllaah, no evil eyes wl ever see them. They'll be kids when they'r supposed to, n grow up in happiness to enjoy a fulfilled adulthood by God's grace. AMEEN I sincerely pray that the Almighty wl cure this rotten world we live in cos nothing is impossible for Him. It's well. Even me that didn't watch it gan i'm traumatised already my eyes don dey shine like vigilante torchlight when I was almost dozing off before. Hp it doesn't take days to shake off d horrible image formed in my head already
Oh well, good night mamas. May God grant us a better world to live in
