Phamoo4u:


Hello broda please I'm coming to Brazil soon.....I wil need accommodation for me.and my family ooh.....very cheap accommodation

I do need you guys support ooh

For temporary stay, your best bet is Airbnb. Don’t bother with local rentals. You’ll need a dollar card to pay for the accommodation.


In São Paulo, the process is relatively fast. Delay is usually from getting a polícia federal appointment but you can beat it by constantly refreshing their page for a close date.

Also come with police character for everyone applying for PR, you’ll need it for your application. As soon as you get to Brazil, send it to the Nigerian embassy in Brasilia along with processing fee so you can get it back asap.

Apply for your CPF as soon as you land, you’ll need it for almost everything. It can be done online.

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

Congratulations!

Vaginal birth after 2 previous CS is almost absolutely contraindicated. This is so because, as someone rightly said, there is a very high chance of uterine rupture that may be catastrophic to either or both mother and the baby.

Depending on the type of CS, subsequent vaginal birth may even be contraindicated after only 1 previous CS. This is so mostly with a classical CS (though this isn't a regular choice for the obstetrician nowadays).

For women who have had one previous CS in which a transverse lower segment incision (most common) was done, there is no automatic qualification to attempt VBAC. There are series of criteria that you and your baby will have to fulfill during the course of antenatal care, and even up to the labour room.

Outcomes are poorer when a woman is attempting a VBAC is subjected to a repeat CS during the course of labour and delivery.

Thank you �

I am a multiple CS Mama.
The second C-S recovery was faster and the pain was more bearable.
It might be because I kind of played the whole process in my head before the D-Day and God showed me Mercy.

Wow, that’s great. Thank you

Bloomingbud:



My colleague said her second and third CS were much more painful, not experienced more than one.

Wow. Are you trying vaginal birth this time or opting for CS again?

voucher:


My second CS was more painful but i have seen some women who said the second was better.. I can’t say what it depends on

Chai, maybe individual body, a friend also said her second was really painful. She was in labor for a while before they eventually did CS. I’m trying to avoid that kind of situation.

I’m trying to see if I should try Vaginal birth. My first, i didn’t go into labor at all hence the CS. I’m scared of pain, I won’t lie so I’m trying to go for the easier option. I know none is easy but I’ll take the less painful one.

Any multiple C-section mamas here please? Is it true that second C-section is always worse than the first in terms of pain and recovery?
Any mama that had a Vbac, which do you prefer please? Vaginal birth or C-section

Are there no December mamas?

December 6th

BA! BA!! BA!!!

I gave birth to my princess on the 3rd of June through an emergency CS... EDD from LMP was supposed to be 13th July

Everything about my pregnancy was going so well for me (no morning sickness, no vomiting, no spitting and so on). I was just feeling like a baby girl till around 31 weeks or thereabout when I had that pain above my stomach that couldn't allow me sleep... It subsided and came back after about 2 weeks, it was so severe I rushed to a health center close to me to complain and after some tests they said it was ulcer... They also said I had malaria and typhoid... I was given antibiotics injections and drugs with malaria injections and some prenatals... The pain went but I noticed that I became so weak with serious pain on my lap and calf when I try to get up or sit.
I went for my antenatal and when they checked my vitals they noticed I had developed high blood pressure with protein in my urine... I was given drugs for it and asked to come the next week to check again.. When I returned the next week it was still there and that was how I was referred to a general hospital to go and get the baby out immediately... They said it was a sign of preeclampsia which was a big risk for mother and child...
Mehn... My heart cut... I was like how?.. Is that how they use to just go and get baby out?... That was how me and my husband went to another hospital to go and get another opinion...
We got there and gave the referral letter and explained... The doctor said that the hospital was actually right.. He said they'll perform their own test and if it comes out same, they'll have to get the baby out to save our lives... I was admitted that day and they carried out a scan and some tests including liver function and kidney.. I was asking myself what I was doing there because I had no symptom of anything.. I felt very fine and strong... Results were out the next day.. No damage to kidneys and liver but I still had high blood pressure and protein in the urine, infact it increased sef...
Everything just started happening so fast..
The next thing I knew, they were screaming that they had to carry out the delivery immediately, they were like "this baby should have been out since yesterday".. That was how they gave us drugs to go and buy and bills to pay for the delivery and other things... They gave me injections and drugs.. There was one particular injection that was so painful, I cried as they were injecting me (till now those spots in my bum is still swollen and painful when pressed)..... That was how I saw myself being wheeled to the theatre o (in my mind I was like wetin dey happen sef, for crying out loud I'm very fine).. The operation was carried out and my baby came out weighing 1.3kg at 34weeks (that was too small for her gestational age, I guess the BP restricted her growth). She was taken to the NICU and placed in the incubator with oxygen and stuff... She stayed in the NICU for 2 weeks and some days.. The whole delivery process and aftermath was painful and traumatic for me..
Throughout her stay in the NICU, I went to the hospital everyday to spend some hours and give them my expressed breast milk to feed her. They didn't allow me touch her till after about a week when they said I had to start doing KMC with her.. She was so tiny I was even scared of holding her so I won't hurt her.. She finally came home last week weighing 1.4kg. She's very strong and healthy, the only thing is just for her to add weight.. I pray she adds more rapidly than expected.

Errmm... Remember the scan I did said it was a male.. Well.. it was wrong, the baby turned out to be a beautiful girl..
Thank you

Sorry it's coming late, I've been so busy..

Congratulations mama

Thank God for safe delivery, May she be a blessing to your family.

Yes mama! I had back cramps in my first pregnancy. Hubby was always massaging. You can try to rest more. But, if you're worried, see your gynae

Thanks sis

Is back cramps normal in second trimester please? Sometimes it radiates to the leg, left leg. i don’t remember having this with my first baby

ladyrachy:
Hmm mamas did my clinical pelvimetry today,doc have shook hand inside hubby palace ooo. Am having slight stomach tightening don't know if it's contractions ,doc is expecting baby latest first week of July ooo. Was given castor oil to drink at moderation and keep him updated.

Reports on castor oil are not consistent. Try raspberry leaf tea if you can get it. Dates also help. You can do more research about them.

Porting is allowed, you’re welcome to the Ginger team

Thank you my sister

Be like December people no like roll call. I’m hoping to port to November so I can leave you ppl

CandyR:
Hello everyone, I’ve been following the thread for some months since I applied in early March, thankfully just got my Visa/picked the passport. 3months validity was given.
So I’ll drop some of my own experience so that I’ll also receive �
I applied with my husband, I was called for interview a month after,
Interview questions: purpose of travel, travel history, who are you going with etc? Just normal interview questions.
Then 2months after got called to pick up. Also I have a good travel history that covers countries in different continents (America, Asia, Europe, Africa).

Please I’ll like to ask for fun things to do in Brazil. (Rio)
If anyone can be kind enough to give good hints to save cost etc.
Plan going in July, how’s the weather etc.

Congratulations!

Rio is a lot of fun with lots of tourist attractions (Christ the redeemer, Sugarloaf, Copacabana Beach, Escadaria Selarion, Boat Cruises, Skydiving etc) The people are more laid back than most parts of Brazil.

If you’re going for birth tourism, you may want to look at other states though as Rio is considered generally unsafe.

As for the weather, it’s beautiful and mostly warm. I was there around July of a particular year, it was hot and the tourist guide said that was winter in Rio.
It’s cold in São Paulo, Santa Catarina and some other states at the moment till November or so.

Have fun!

I made Chicken Pizza on Sunday but anti-spam bot banned me from posting here twice since Sunday.

Dramadiddy:
please help with the website, I tried finding it but I’m not sure I got it

https://www.gov.br/pt-br/servicos/naturalizar-se-brasileiro-naturalizacao-provisoria

Use a browser that can translate the page.

From what is on the website,

1. Child must be below 10 years

2. Must establish residency (RNM and school registration)

Dramadiddy:
how long does the child have to be in school?

I think you can apply once you enroll the child. You can check the Brazilian government website for better details.

Dramadiddy:
Is it true that if your first child is a citizen, you can give birth to your second in Nigeria and claim Brazilian citizenship for the second?

It’s true to an extent.

You can apply for citizenship but you’d have to take the child to Brazil, apply for permanent residency based on the sibling’s citizenship, then enroll the child in a school (this shows that the child is willing to stay and be a Brazilian)
You can then apply for citizenship for the said child.

This applies to children born before and after the Brazilian child.

Trash it - February is long time ago with flour. If you choose to use it, you would have wasted other ingredients if it doesn't rise. And if that funny taste is ok and manageable to you, the other person might taste the difference.



True

I trashed it and got another bag. Thank you

Mariangeles:


When your flour is bad, it will not rise when raising agent is added to it.
It'll also have some kind of unpleasant taste when you use it to make anything.
Those are some of the ways you can tell your flour is bad.

Thank you

I wanted to make some snacks this morning so I brought out my flour which I’ve had for a while. Turned out it’s expired. It’s sealed, never opened.
It’s doing me somehow to throw it away.

I googled and saw something about flour never expires, it’s just best before that date. How true is this please?

Angel2424:


I was taking pregnacare plus. I think all pregnacare has folic acid of 400ug which if converted to mg is 0.4mg, while the regular folic acid is 5mg. So the difference is high. Check the pack of your pregnacare max

My doctor here also prescribed 5mg folic acid daily. I didn’t check the dosage before because DH was the one that bought it after it was prescribed. After I saw your post , i checked and was alarmed (In my knowledge, the prescribed dosage for pregnant women is 0.4 - 0.8 mcg) I started checking different pregnancy groups, I saw a lot of women claim that their doctors increased their dosage.
Finally I asked in a WhatsApp group of pregnant mamas in the country where I live and they all said their doctors prescribed 5mg too and that it’s normal.
I’m relaxed but I already ordered a prenatal that already has 0.6mcg. I don’t know if I should still combine the 5mg bayi. Too much folic acid is also bad.

rubypearlzzz:
Please I need your opinion on this issue I’m facing. Especially if you’re a doctor/consultant in the house.������

I’m 27yrs old. I had a still birth last year @41weeks 3days. (IUFD) Reason couldn’t be traced. It was a healthy pregnancy all though. Now I’m pregnant again and almost due. I reg. for antenatal in March and of all the rest that was carried out, the Hepatitis B test came as positive. I was beyond shocked as never in my life have I ever thought such could be. I married a virgin and it’s only my hubby I have ever slept with all my life! My hubby also isn’t the type that womanize at all. So I kept praying and rebuking it! The Dr told me I shouldn’t be worried but prepare money to get the vaccine injection (90k) for the child once born. So yesterday I decided to test again and it’s still positive. I have cried my eyes out! Browsing google all through. I can’t even sleep well… My hubby also said he’ll do the test this week. Please does pregnancy instigate it? Will I be fine and test negative after delivery? I was told to run liver function test wic I did ysday. My next appointment is 15th but I didn’t let the lab scientist rest. I begged that he sends me the result and he sent this on WhatsApp. Please who can interpret? Mothers please pray for me, I don’t want to nurse an incurable ailment����������

I’m not able to interpret the test, I just want to say don’t beat yourself up too much. It’s not only spread through sexual contact but other body fluids such as blood through sharing needles, toothbrushes, nail clippers, razor etc.
You’ll be fine and anything is possible through God.

Am 14 weeks and still spitting seriously
How long gone are u?

14 weeks tomorrow, still spitting too.

voucher:


Yes o, it has stopped! I think it stopped shortly before I entered 2nd trimester.. Are you spitting? You can try and brush after every meal to see if it will help, that spitting is the worst thing ever

The absolute worst! I’m happy for you. I’m spitting, entering 14 weeks this week and hoping for a miracle. I’ll start brushing after every meal, I pray it helps, thank you.

Please has your spitting stopped?

kingonyi9:

Good morning, can you help me with some info I’m in Florianopolis and wants to start my process. Getting my documents to the embassy from here is where I got stuck

Send your police character along with completed consular form and processing fee to the Nigerian Embassy at Brasilia. You can send at Correios (post office)

Follow up by sending them an email or calling (if you’re lucky, they will pick your call)

In Sp, we usually get the consular form from the Liaison office. I don’t know if there is one in Florianopolis.

Pweetiebabe:
Testimony time..... I hope am too early to testify sha, but have not vomited in 2days and am stronger than before now.... I guess MS decided to free me @ 15weeks..HALLELUJAH

Congratulations! I’m looking forward to this for myself.

I vomited for 2 days nonstop, couldn’t keep anything down. Yesterday, dh had to get a type of Vitamin B6 to help stop it (read about it on different baby groups), so far it has worked and I haven’t vomited since yesterday evening.

The morning sickness feeling and fatigue is still there so I’m still counting down to 14 weeks, I hope it frees me before or by then.

Bobbyunitedfc:
Yes yes yes... My God has done it again, we went for a blood pt yesterday evening and it came out a big fat positive, u need to see how I was jumping and hugging the lab guy, God answers prayers, on Monday I joined Nsppd miracle service and the pastor mentioned my case he said we should carry our baby, meanwhile my wife and hi were expecting our period, I told God to replace period with pregnancy, and he answered us, in this TTc journey we need God..

This time my wife and I will carry to term,in Jesus name..

Best birthday gift ever,and best anniversary gift come February 2023.

Congratulations! Continue to manifest this. Your testimony is permanent in Jesus name.
