Transportation and food is worst hit

It's really bad o. Chai, things are so hard

It's very common to see people advise you to cut your hair anytime you mention that you're having a problem with your hair.

The issue with this kind of advise is that it doesn't solve the problem.

For example, your front hair is not growing and someone is asking you to cut your hair. Why not ask her what happened that the hair stopped growing. There's a reason why it stopped growing, once you identify the reason, you can now address it

If you cut your hair without identifying what happened. You will grow the hair back and do the same thing you did the first time and the front hair will stop growing again, then you'll cut it again and keep repeating a cycle.

There's a reason for everything, identify the reason and fix the issue. Don't be quick to tell people to cut their hair. Also don't be quick to cut your hair

Ask yourself, what caused it? Once you fix it, that's problem solved

If you're having any issues with your front hair, let me know, I can help you. You don't have to cut it and start againf

I went to get foodstuff and everything is now so expensive. Chai, how are people coping? What are people eating? Those poor people who don't have much, how will they cope?

Garri is N700 per congo
Meat is so expensive
Even smoked panla fish that people use to manage and cook soup is now 3 small pieces for N800
Egusi is N400 per cup

Omo, those people that have plenty children should sorry o.

If you can please plan your family o, this is not even the time to be boring plenty children because how will you feed them?

You have to be a very rich man to be able to take care of plenty children in this economy.

God please, help us o. I'm just feeling pity for people who don't have so much. Wetin dem go do? Wetin dem go chop?

Hmmmnnn, it is well. Things will get better hopefully. Amen

You're welcome

Hmmmnn, when I think about my experience in pregnancy I will just be wondering why this subject is not talked about enough.

That journey of pregnancy can be a rollercoaster ride. May God keep and protect all pregnant women and grant them safe delivery.

My first clear sign of pregnancy was my sense of smell. It became really amplified and intense. I could smell things from afar and it was as if I was smelling things too deeply. I don't know how to explain it. When I noticed this, I knew it was abnormal and I tested for pregnancy, it came positive.

That's how my pregnancy journey started. Mmmnnn

Mood swings
You could experience serious mood swings for no reason. You're excited this minute and the next minute you're so angry or sad. It happens very frequently in pregnancy. So if you're around a pregnant woman, please just understand and be kind to her

Food
Your body will start rejecting certain foods in funny ways. Food can begin to start smelling to you and you will not be able to stand the smell so you can't eat the food. Some women cannot eat any food from their kitchen, it has to be bought from outside. Some women cannot stand the smell of their kitchen, someone else has to handle cooking for that period. Some can eat a certain food and the body will reject it and throw it up. Or it could give serious heart burns. Hmmm, food in pregnancy is a big deal.

Vomiting and throwing up.
I don't know why it's called morning sickness, you can vomit in the morning, afternoon or night. Anytime at all, not just in the morning. Some people have extreme cases of vomiting where they lose weight really bad and they just cannot keep anything in. It's called hyperemesis gravidarum. That one is a serious case

Taste buds
There's a metallic taste that comes with pregnancy that I don't even understand. Your mouth will taste very bland. Drinking water is usually a struggle because of this. This is why pepper soup is usually a pregnant woman's favorite because the pepper helps her to get rid of that bland taste.

Body changes
Get ready for body transformation. Most people gain weight in pregnancy, though some women lose weight. Your body experiences a lot of changes to accommodate the foetus that is growing inside you. Your organs are making room and shifting to allow the baby thrive. Your appearance begins to change. Your breasts get fuller, your stomach gets obviously bigger, hyper pigmentation may occur where your face and neck area gets darker. Your nose and lips may get bigger and filler. Your face, hands and feet may get swollen. A whole lot of transformations and some people may not look like themselves again. I'm sure you've seen those pregnancy transformation challenges on Instagram, it could get really bad. Hmmn

Frequent urination;
As you approach your third trimester, the baby is getting bigger and pressing on your bladder. This would make you feel pressed more often. In fact you could have finished urinating now, your baby will just turn and you'll feel like going back to urinate. It can be embarrassing sometimes

Movement
As you get heavier, your movement becomes slower. You can't walk as smartly as you used to walk before. You may even start waddling like a penguin. Yes, it can be that bad. Your walking posture and even your sitting posture would change to accommodate the weight of the baby

Spitting
Some people experience this in their first trimester while some experience it all through the pregnancy and some don't experience it at all. It's not a funny thing to be holding spit or always chewing gum because of spitting.

Time
Pregnancy is for 40 weeks, approximately 9 months but trust me when I say that 9 months used to be like 9 years. Time is really slow when you're pregnant. Especially when you're in your last trimester, it will be as if time is not moving again. Pregnancy is a long 9 months indeed.

This is all I can remember for now. For other mums who have gone through pregnancy, please share your experience and adviseso others can learn

If you're planning to get pregnant, please ensure you have emotional, physical, financial, spiritual support. You need all the support you can possibly get. It's a rewarding journey but it's not an easy one. The first trimester is usually the toughest because the experience is strange to your body and it is trying to understand what is going on.

So please have support so you don't break down. If anyone offers to help you, accept it o, with love. You need a lot of rest, you may not be as active as you used to be and that is fine.

Regardless of the challenges of pregnancy, it's a really rewarding journey. Beholding your little fragile baby makes it all worth it.

If you're a TTC mum, may God grant you your heart desires so you can experience this rewarding journey.

If you're currently pregnant, keep holding up, your bundle of joy is on the way.

Since you admitted to pulling your hair, you should stop pulling your hair.

For the bald spot, use an an oil to massage the area. Massage about 3 times a week. This would help you stimulate your hair follicles to start producing hair.
