My Fellow Team August Mamas, How are You all doing? Thanks our captain for always being after our welfare. We are doing good over here, serious kicks daily although my bump is not too big despite been a second issue. 4th TT taken already, yet to check sex but hoping for a girl as We already have a boy. I am yet to shop also but getting hospital list by month end by God's grace. God is our strength and We will all put to bed safely. Congrats to all Mamas that have put to bed.

@britneystacy you need to see how happy I was to have seen that one to buy. At least it's better than all those walnut sized ones sold at four pieces for 200 in my area. Heard there will be respite by next month.

@zaynie, why not try mile 12, you'll find better bargain on tomatoes and trust me atarodo and tatashe are relatively cheap.
In fact, when dh saw the quantity of the atarodo relative to price, he joked that we can as well eat it like that till prices of tomatoes fall.

Hajarahbadmus, you will be just fine.
Your second delivery is likely to be shorter.
Try and be exercising (walk) at least, Trust me, it really helps to hasten the whole process. Just keep being positive.

Congrats Olubankemi,rofemiguwa and nazablossom. God keep the babies!

Happy birthday to your hubby adorablewifey. Wishing him plenty more years of good health. He shall see his children's children.

Amen ma, thanks. I'm sure the pushing ministry is moving forward, the lord is your strength.

Hello team November mamas. I finally have a tiny bump. I have called everyone to come and see whether my tummy is really out.

I'm so excited! Finally on.

mitchyy:



No oooo! Blade ke? I've never used blade to shave before. It has always been shaving stick and hair remover for my underarms. But now i can't see my vjay at all, even if i sit and raise my leg. That's why i'm wondering how other belleful mamas go about it, before e turn dreadlocks

Lol, I used a hand mirror to shave, after shaving u needed to see how I was breathing as if I carried a log of wood. it was too stressful I tell u.

HELP!!!
I am dreading labour...like seriously..i laboured for 18hours before I had my first baby...I don't thing I have the strength for it right now...
Please i need encouragement ....help a sister

Teamie, wat r u talking abt? Wat happened to 2 earlier post on dates fruit consumption to aid quick labour? Pls go n chop a whole truck of it na.

mitchyy:


Really? Pls what brand? The ones i know can only be used for underarms and body, not the vjay area.

I use ONE. It comes in different colours.

mitchyy:


So your own has turned to weavon too like mine abi? We don catch you. I wish there was a hair remover suitable to use for that area

There is. I use Nair or Veet. Try them

Ma'am soonest and ozycy..thanks guys. You just lifted my spirit..it will be easier my God's grace..i will remain positive.. ehugs..

@ ginababy..e don dey grow for my head trust me...na paint bucket supply I get for house. My house is just 100naira bus away from alaba market where mallams dey distribute. So I dnt run out of it at all...
It is well dear..

@ hajarahbadmus, don't worry ur Labour ll b short n quick insha Allah. My 1st felt like 4eva, bt 4 my 2nd it was very fast, less dan 2hrs n not @tall so painful. By d time d pain was getting unbearable, I was ready 2 push. Also d breathing technique helped me wit my 2nd, unlike wen I was shouting during my 1st. I was also very active during my 2nd preg dan d 1st, lots of walks. Finally, positive confessions n prayers helpd a lot. Kept praying n telling God wat I wanted 4rm day one of my pregnancy. It's well sis, don't let fear take over. God is in total control.

Use a mirror to see down and feel it with your hand when done. So far it's shaving stick, you wont hurt yourself. When you're close to your edd, I'd advise you shave regularly to afford some nurses scraping it like say na ileya ram body dem dey scrap

@sayoddy, shaving sticks cut atimes, I used gillete 2weeks ago, I didn't knw I'd cut mysef, I just noticed that anytime I rinse the stick in a bowl the colour changes to red, that was wen I called dh n he said I have peeled my CS incision line. What a scary experience, we kept on cleaning severally n the blood kept on gushing until it was treated n the cotton wool n spirit was left on the surface. Dh blamed me ontop n for 2 days the bruises were painful. The best bet is to use hair removal, use bic shaving stick cos it's not really sharp or ask dh to shave for u.

enkaydewdrop:


My sister, this one pass showers oh...
I slept till 1pm today... I no bother use duvet at all...
This is kinda selfish, but can it rain like this everyday Please Lawd!!!

Biko, you people should send some rain here naaaaa .....More than a week now, no rain here. The sun feels someone is competing with it ooo

evamum:
Able/senior Mamas am loyal o, I have humble request/suggestion to make.
Can we share some essential (cant do without) items, tested&trusted brands; necessary for the first months of delivery. I believe it will be of great help to us FTM and those on low budget, Thanks.

#teamAugust Peace&Love

I support THIS motion o ooo.....experienced mums please help us FTMs.....

mitchyy:
Mamas, pls how do you manage to shave your down below and avoid cutting yourself? I can't see anything down there at all and the hairs are about to form weavon *covers face*

. I use shaving stick .I move the shaving stick with my 6th sense. I stand to shave the front part. I then squat to do the part in btween. While shaving there, I move gently so as to avoid cutting myself. I don't necessarily aim for complete hair removal and I try to shave at least once a week so i don't let it get too bushy . The more hairs there, the more stressful it is cos squating for long with a bump is really tasking! !

Alternatively, you ask DH. Why I avoid asking him is because when he finishes, he will ask for settlement and my libido has gone to Sambisa and has not yet returned .

Lmao @ileya ram. That is what i'm trying to avoid. Those nurses go just yab me when they see the dreadlocks. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks dear

Me I'm just waking up since yesterday morning.

All of una good morning. I trust y'all fine.

What a beautiful day today will be. Wore my tightest skirt so that I could have the satisfaction of saying it doesn't fit but it fit. Really easy. Started wondering if I wasn't imagining the bump.

I asked my husband again and he said he didn't want to burst my bubble but the bump could be as a result of the heavy eba I ate yesterday. Anyways, I still have a spring in my step and ready to conquer the world.

good morning fellow mums and mums to be. im new here. 25weeks3days pregnant with baby no 2. less than 15weeks to and yet to buy anyrhing. yet to check gender too, hoping for a boy as my first is a girl. #teamAugust

Hahaha, my libido is still 50% intact o, so maybe i'll try bribing him with that special settlement as long as he does the job well. Lol
