I first saw this thread when i was on mobile sometime ago, i couldnt reply, i just read through.
I want to congratulate all the mothers here,
by the grace of God, you will live to enjoy your children.
When it's time to reap, no one will chase you from your place. . .(its a yoruba prayer if you know)
eni eleni oni gbase yin se o!

to the topic,
I am so thankful to God i came as a guy,
but i am not sure if i'm better off, know why?
my own experience was in '99,
i fainted near the hall!
I am too emotional, i hate to see someone i love cry
I made up ma mind never to go near that place again.

well, am writing this on behalf on my lovely Wife who's still at the Hospital after having our Baby through CS operation yesterday. I thank God it all came through successful after long hours of labour, they say the baby was too Big for Her 'to do' alone. Her pregnancy was a perfect one except the vomitting that came with the first 3 months, and i admire her for her strength, we were lucky. I've not really had the chance to hold my Baby because they (Nurses) won't allow me carry Him, ohh i didn't mention it was a Big Baby Boy (B.B.B.) and i'll soon upload his pics on here soon. Big ups to ALL WOMEN WHO HAS HAD TO GO THROUGH LABOUR, I ADMIRE YOUR COURAGE AND GOD WILL CONTINUE TO BE YOUR STRENGHT, AMEN. e no EASY oooo, AND TO ALL THE WOMEN WHO ARE STILL WAITING ON GOD I PRAY BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR YOU WILL HAVE POSITIVE STORIES TO TO TELL, AMEN

No weird cravings?

I'm pregnant with my first child, my EDD is 14th Feb (Val Day) and i pray the baby comes on that day,for the pregnancy it's wonderful to know a life is growing in you, so it keeps you growing though it not always easy.
Some days you feel strong enough to go mountain climbing and some days you can't even lift you leg.

I'll be back to tell you about the delivery experience, pray 4me as i go to have it easy (cos scan says my baby is already 3.78Kg bigger tan some born baby)
But i Trust in God for all to go well.

tundysho:

This term has been so commonly used and i want someone to help me with the meaning.'BOUNCING BABY'.
are babies like footballs that they call them bouncing.


That apart.I realy want to give it up to all mothers.I now truly appreciate my mum and my wife,
after reading thru all these postings.
Mothers are wonderful pple that needs to be properly nutured
and carefully handled like a crate of eggs.
Those animals that batter their wives are supposed to be
kept in zoos together with baboons and wild reptiles.

Even though I am a man,i wish i could help my wife in bearing the pain,but God that made it that way, is a perfect God

What more can i say than to pray for long life for all mothers, to see thier own grand children and great grand children too.AMEN

interesting topic, well I had my first baby 2 and a half weeks ago, a lovely angel baby girl born weighing 3kg, I had a natural birth with epidural. Thank God for epidural! I had to ask for a top-up dose because the first dose ran out too quickly and the contractions were so painful and coming every few minutes, but I still demanded that they top me up

I started having period-like pains the night before at around 9am but I thought it was normal as baby was moving down into position (I was waiting for the 'show' ie mucus plug to come out). The pains were bearable but I hardly slept that night. In the morning I decided to call my gynae/obstetrician and ask what I should do. He told me to come to his offices and be ready to go into hospital. At around 10 I was at the Doc's offices and the pains were getting intense, but still manageable. When he examined me he said "you would have delivered this baby at home all in the name of "waiting for the show", you are 4cm dilated, go to the hospital I will tell them to expect you". My husband was speechless. When we left the Dr's offices I still wanted to visit my stepbrother in hospital before booking myself in but when I got to the hospital lobby I had my first "serious" contraction and made a fast u-turn to the women's clinic where I planned to deliver my baby! My birth experience was very intimate, not chaotic like they like to show on TV. It was just me, hubby, the gynae and a senior nurse in the room, don't know where the pediatrician was but thank God there was no need for her, I finally pushed my baby out at 18:45 and she was perfect though tired, poor thing. They had to give her a dose of oxygen then she let out a cry, the best cry I've ever heard. I pray to go that she stays healthy and strong. I tore down there and got some stitches but they've already healed and I'm dying to get back to gym. Ladies do you also tie your tummy's to help get things back into shape?
