Good morning everyone. I just want to rant this morning. Why did people who were pregnant before us made this pregnancy thing look like a walk in the park? Why did they make it look like the best thing since sliced bread?? How come nobody has ever told me pregnancy is hard?.

babe kul down, ya blood is hot. Some people enjoy it while some don't. Me, am enjoying it ooo but I don't like the rate am growing yesterday I spent the whole morning trying clothes to wear to church, my dear it was not a funny something ooo. And dh is even complicating the issue telling me that my stomach is small when I know that it's big. With time you will get used to it and smile when your lo is in your arms

First off....take a deep breath, ur doing great.

I choose to look at it this way - If I had known everything about pregnancy and motherhood (I mean every single detail and symptom both good n bad)...I just may not have even gotten married sef....

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean this in a negative way o but its just me being real
But despite it all, I'm still thankful to God for every minute and experience cos I too now have a story to tell my DD when she is of age

May God bless our hustle!

I get where you're coming from, I'm glad you said you aren't complaining, please don't sound like you are. I know you came from the ttc thread, but I don't know for how long you ttc.
You may have heard some women ttc say they'll give anything for morning sickness, as long as they have their baby in the end.
Only someone who has experienced Wat you are going through can truly empathize with you, so don't blame others if they can't, it may have almost been a walk in the park for them.
If some women share their pregnancy journey with you, you'll thank God for the morning sickness.
Let me share a little of my journey with u...
You still go to work abi? I can't even fry an egg myself, I don't leave my room, except I'm going to the hospital. All I do is sleep, eat, shower and sleep! A few days ago I started feeling intense pelvic pressure and waist pain, saturday afternoon I began experiencing thick mucus discharge, I panicked it was my mucus plug, and hurriedly went for an ultrasound, heart racing, but all is well, baby safe, cervix long and closed tight. Now I have added the polar bear pose a few times daily to my routine and it has helped.
Bedrest is emotionally & physically tasking, but when I remember my 2 previous losses(2nd carelessly) the pain and trauma plus fertility challenges of myself and dh, and how God miraculously surprised us with this child! I wouldn't have it any other way, cos I know by God's grace, I'll carry my baby at the end of it all, and every discomfort is going to be worth it.
1 Corinthians 10:13 - The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.(NLT)
You are near the end of ur 1st trimester, have faith you'll feel better soon.

Amen sister.

I hate pregnancy, I started feeling like a bad person. I'm grateful for being able to get pregnant but it is a very difficult time for me. I've been through hell with my first and with this one. My sister-in-laws(6 of them) see me as a lazy person, that I'm just using it to make their brother do everything (he's a great guy). I was even telling him motherhood is not for me and after seeing things this time around, dude said I am not getting pregnant again. They usually have drama-free pregnancy but difficult labors. One called me and was telling me that it is because I lack faith and I confess negatively. That if someone asks me how I am doing, I should say fine and smile. My mother in-law is a sweet woman, she has ten children and all her pregnancy were easy but she feels my pains, cry when I'm crying and encourage me every time.

They say every pregnancy is different, I was hoping for this to be different but I am still vomiting at 14 weeks, I can only eat yam and drink water. I've not been to work up to 20 days since October last year. My mom also had terrible pregnancies. I love my son, and I love this child I'm carrying but I tell my unmarried friends that pregnancy is terrible for me.

God please forgive us ooo, we love the children that comes with being pregnant but the stress and suffering that comes with it is too much. Tot I was d only one, I sometimes cry to my hubby that am tired, look how my breast now looks, stretch marks appearing on my hips, additional weight gain, difficulty sleeping at night. God God this is hard. I count the days hoping it will end soon. I love my unborn baby very much and the siblings that will come after( of course I will have another after this) but pls take it easy on me. U keep lying on my waist and poking ur head on my hips, it hurts so badly, wish u could turn and let me breath a lil. O Lord have mercy ( end of rant) thanks team mate for this opportunity to rant.

Good day mamas in the house, please help me touchlight this matter oo, if i lick sweets (especially tomtom, though i haven't try it out with other types) it makes me feel sick and weak

wondering why it is so?

Why did they make it look like the best thing since sliced bread?? How come nobody has ever told me pregnancy is hard?? How come all they are saying is enjoy it and enjoy the changes it brings? I am not complaining, far from it but we should be willing to say things exactly as they are and call a spade a spade. Pregnancy is hard!! It is the hardest work ever and it doesn't just stop once you put to bed, in fact that is when the real hard work starts. MS is no fun. Weight gain does not make you happy. Swollen feet, swollen breasts and back pain do not give any one joy(at least not me). Not being able to keep food down and being on an emotional roller coaster every day is tiring. Thank God for NL Preggy thread. This is the only place I can vent because if you say this to people outside, they hush you. They try to make you feel like you are not woman enough for complaining. They tell you other people have gone through it and you are not the first so kini big deal? This culture of silence is why a lot of women suffer from Post natal depression. All they just need is someone to talk to and they will be relieved but nobody wants to listen. Every one hushes you up and shuts you down. I just want to be able to tell someone how I feel because I'm getting tired of being a pregnant super woman. Thank you all for reading.

My dear, people are different with pregnancy. Pregnancy isn't funny with me,during my first pregnancy I was sick and in the hospital for straight 4months,people and my sisters in law thought I was not strong but it was me that knows what I was going through. I had to resign from my job because of the terrible sickness,hmmm I had placenta abruptio at 34weeks and had to do an emergency cs the pregnancy and delivery period was hell for me o I won't lie and till today I still say my experiences which I don't wish for my enemy. I was scared to get pregnant again and I didn't have sex with my husband for a whole good year plus(1year+7months) I always shout at him and remind him of what I went through with my previous pregnancy and just give him normal romance while refusing him any penetaration( thank God he understands me)I won't even allow him use condom in case of any mistake and he refused family planning. When my baby was 1+7months,he begged and said we should try for the second child hmmm, I was scared to the brim of another of another pregnancy wahala. We tried the first month and I got pregnant I so much prayed with my last blood not to experience ms and ms started at 5weeks,landed in the hospital again my parents were the ones taking care of me, my dh is a very busy person,my son was sleeping in his creche for 2 weeks because there was no one to take care of him at home(my dh paid for food &accommodation there),he will cry and cry but I couldn't help him. I was helpless nurses and doctors were running helter sketal cos I was in pains,my sister and mother were rotating to sleep with me at the hospital, sometimes I won't sleep ooo I will just be crying of pains, my sister na only me know what I went through.
There was a day I called my dh that I will abort the baby that I cant bear it again he prayed for me and encouraged me to wait it out a little,I was there till 13weeks and I started feeling better and can you believe that till now am just doing great. I stopped spitting at 13weeks unlike my first I spat till 3days after delivery ooo,chai that my first showed me shege.
I just have to tell you this so you will know that some people experience worse, I have a friend, she gave birth after me oo for her first child can you believe she got pregnant after just 6moths again, I was wowed and mad at her but I realised she don't experience any pregnancy sickness from her first day till delivery,she just look at me anytime I tell her what am going through cos she didn't understand any at all. Sometimes I wonder how some women give birth without spacing their children at least 2years and some gives birth to 5,6 and even more,it can never happen to me ooo cos pregnancy alone is stress for me. And its only God's intervention that can make me have another one after this. I went to my mum's house and she was saying after delivery one would have forgotten all what happened and will go for another one I just shouted at her and said that's for some people o that me I can't forget anything everything still dey intact for my brain, forget kini.
So please don't blame people if they don't understand what you are going through they might not have experienced it or might have but not up to yours. Pregnancy is an individual cross accept it as you own even your dh can't accept it for you. That's why some mother's guide their child /children judiciously cos of what they went through while some treats their child anyhow. I pray God gives you the strengthyou need all through.amen

Please forgive me if I speak out of point!

I've decided i wont comment or join until am 20 weeks gone but this response really couldn't hold me back.
I typed, i deleted and later type again just for u to know how much your response mean to me.
I was lucky i got pregnant just after my wedding but due to a major defect, it was terminated @ 20weeks . I am grateful i only waited a month to have an LMP date i could point to and got pregnant again just after the termination.
Though i didnt experience MS in both pregnancy (except for headache) but the trauma i went through before, during and after termination, the pain that came along when i was induced & gave birth to the little boy could never in anyway stop me from getting pregnant again.
What actually inspired my comment is that someone just mistakenly called me now and congratulated me for my new born. I thought it was one of my friend that knew i was pregnant before but who i didnt tell that it has been terminated that called knowing i should give birth this month but when i asked who was calling, i got to know it was a wrong number and its just that time i read Iyomomoreloaded response.
In short, to me, no matter the pain i go through which in many cases is inevitable, nothing can by any means make me wish myself to not get pregnant. I would rather pray for the strength to carry through.

I enjoyed reading this ya rant sha! Those people who made it seem like a walk in the park may not be entirely dishonest. It's actually easier for some people.
Just take each day at a time. Dont focus on ur EDD.
Feel free to rant whenever u feel like. That's why we're here

That is why I can fight any human that says he/she can take my children away from me,on no circumstances will I leave my children for anything. Sometimes I look at some women that leave their child behind after a divorce , I can't ooo upon all the stress I went through in having them? I will fight with every thing I have ooo, my dh knows me on this gone are the days they say its the father that owns the child that's not for me sha,left my job,couldn't go after my dreams just to take care of my children&you come and tell me nonsense,ko joor. Let me just stop cos my head is just thinking one kind.
Team April I hail ooooo

Inspiring tales of strength and weakness I've read up their! Kudos to everyone of us being a mom isn't easy whether the pregnancy was a walk in the park or a run through hell! We all have done our best and may our efforts never be in vain.


I love the responses so far let's keep it civil and not bash please.
@ spiceeamiee you are not alone many women don't find pregnancy and motherhood easy but what can we do when we have to procreate? May the Good Lord see you and all having difficulty through and deliver safely in Jesus name amen.

*takes a deeeeeep breath*.. Thank you everyone @callola, @enque, @nana228, @iyomomoreloaded, @yesitsme, @mydream25. Again, I swear I am not complaining but truth be told, this thing e hard! E hard die !! I had MS so bad this morning I was bawling like a baby. My line supervisor and Practice Manager were scared as nobody has seen me cry for almost 5years I have been working there. I threw up so much that my tummy and throat ached like hell and I had a head splitting ache. I could not imagine what I had done to warrant that kind of pain so I just sat down on the toilet floor crying. I tried to call my husband but he wasn't picking up so I called my bestie. I just wanted to rant to someone. However, my bestie shut me down immediately and told me to hush. She has been TTC for over 3years. She told me she would give her left breast and right eye in order to experience what I was going through. Sigh.. Wrong person to rant to.

@Iyomomoreloaded I did not TTC as I took in less than a month after my wedding. This is however not my reason for feeling this way. I do not take the fact that it was so easy for me to take in for granted and I am not oblivious of God's blessings. I was however an active follower on the TTC thread cos my two close friends have been TTC for 3 and 4 years respectively and my elder sister for 8years (after she had her first child) so I usually sent people's WIDD to them. I do not take the pains of TTC lightly. I am only saying the road to motherhood should not be paved with so much stress and pain

@jazzyjazz so sorry about your loss. My condolences. Hope baby Ilan is home with you ow.

Congrats to all the mothers that have birthed their LOs and safe delivery to the rest of us.

I was lucky i got pregnant just after my wedding but due to one defect, i was advised to terminate the pregnancy which i did at 20 weeks(I wish I did scan at around 13weeks maybe it would have been noticed and would have terminated it earlier). I am grateful i only waited a month to have an LMP date i could point to and got pregnant again just after the termination.
Though i didnt experience MS in both pregnancy (except for headache) but the trauma i went through before, during and after termination, the pain that came along when i was induced & gave birth to the little boy could never in anyway stop me from getting pregnant again.

Lol @ this.
Have u tried anything to stop the vomiting?
Talk to your doctor about vitamin b6, some say it works.
Try not to leave ur stomach empty, eat dry bland foods in bits.
Grab a cracker biscuit 1st tin upon waking.
See if your prenatal supplements cud be d culprit and change it.
Since you're almost in ur 2nd trimester, mild ginger and lemon brew may help.
May God give u strength and make it easier for you and everyone passing through similar conditions.

I have tried different methods online. It works for a day or two and we are back to status quo. If I eat to even belleful small, I become heavy and bloated then I have to throw up to reduce the bloated feeling. If I don't eat enough to belleful small, I become dizzy and will nearly pass out. See why I said this thing is hard? No middle ground. I try to eat a light dinner so I wont feel bloated and so I can sleep but then it means I have to wake up every 2hours to take a bottle of water in order to keep hunger pangs at bay. Then I wake up at 5am to prepare for work, still hungry so I eat a little but before hubby drives from Ago to Surulere, he has to park somewhere so I can throw up. I tried that crackers biscuit thingv, e no gree pass my throat. I try to eat spicy things, but again, vomit. I will try that lemon and ginger brew. My bestie did not take it somehow cos I thought of it when I calmed down and immediately called her back to apologize but she brushed it aside and was only interested in how I was feeling.Thank you for your tips.

spiceeamiee ,chai... Sorry dear. I know some pregnancies can be terribly hard. Pls look for ways to relieve yourself of some symptoms. Research and try some. That your TTC friend may have undastood you but could not show full empathy cos she knows the pain of TTC is harder than pregnancy pain, dear. In fact, both are not desirable at all. Its just to pray for God to make our experiences easier. Dont hold it against that ur friend o. Pele. Your pregnacy will be over one day. *winks*

Amem ooo. Have u started buying baby things? I have those I got for previous baby but will buy hospital things next month

@spiceeamiee hav u tried bitter kola? Heard it works

My sisters it's well with us. Pregnancy can be a walk in the park for some people and the opposite for others. For me I didn't experience morning sickness. I told my mum I was pregnant when I was already 4months gone cos I didn't look it and she was surprise I don't spit or vomit she was even more surprised to see me taking my prenatal drugs cos she couldn't cos of sickness she said she just throws it into a gutter on her way from the hospital and leave just one of each in case my dad ask her. I only started have heartburn at 18weeks and I could manage the discomfort. With pregnancy my DH always chase me about for sex cos I was glowing according to him. So for pregnancy no two women are the same and so women that had it smooth wouldn't be able to relate with what others are going through.

Please sabi mamas how does Braxton Hicks contractions feel like. I googled it but I just don't get it.

U will feel ur tummy tightening, then it becomes hard and takes an unusual shape.. It happens for a few seconds (or minutes depending on how far gone u r) and then it goes away....
