Olamitie you see how taking it one day at a time is getting you almost there?
Relax take a deep breath and believe you will get to the finish line safely with your lo in your arms

Omojudy:

I guess u must have a big house to accommodate two house guests of different sexes then. New mama's who don't want house guests take an advise and rent small and increase later. Who wan follow me stay my mini flat? Will get two bedroom soon then stay there till we build.
I also see u are feeling like u are sharing your husband, don't sweat it, take it gradually.

My dear it's just frustrating. We live in 2bedroom and he uses the palour and even our room sometimes so imagine how inconveniencing it is for all of us. There is a lot of things I can't say here. It's just a miracle that I no get high BP during preggie days. I just think it's time for him to move on in peace.

God bless you for point 6 o.... Told my mum not to over grease babys head but she no gree o. She come tell me say no be she nurse me till I reach this age, AbI I wan talk say internet wise pass her? I just left the topic alone till she left cause I had other battles to fight.

My own issue is circumcision of the girl child.
I don't know why i have a feeling that someone would want to try it.

Dh was saying i should go n birth in his mums place.... i refused.
My mum said she was circumcised but didnt mention if i was.

I told hubby i wasn't and he asked if i was sure...

I dont know if i should ask my mum what her views are or ask my MIL
.lemme get heads up.

I dont want someone to drug me to sleep off n try shit with my child.
I foresee a battle and openly insulting anyone that does it when i realise.
Cos i know no one can when am awake.

i am just worried.

@runsaway My dear I took it as a service to God too,however the period has expired. My spirit started telling me that since last Dec. They were two before now,the lady move out in May.

My guest does GNLD work and have refused to get a regular job. He's not even searching,he believe that network marketing is all he needs.

He helps out with few chores not regularly anyway. I do most chores in my house,my DH is hardly home. Like there was a day my gas was leaking,my guest was home when it happened but he dressed and left home while I dropped baby to run around to get help. We get along well and there are no other major issues. However I feel he's not serious with his life and his influence on my DH is bad. He's a single man with little responsibilities,rolling with a married man. All they talk about is politics,football,university day and of course old girl friends. Whenever I brought up a serious family issue DH runs out to start their usual discussion.

Ahh... That one is not good o.

This one that your spirit has also released the man, make him too release you now. Abi?
Abeg make sabi mamas give you tips on how to exist him before he frays your nerves and cause you to lash out. I just fear exiting him will be very difficult in this economy.

Sabi mamas, Abeg sama her correct strategy o, this one go pass operation crocodile smile. I can see military strategy from alphahandmaiden and iomoge2 already

September mommas dropping lo back to back. Congrats to carinmom and joomie. Your los will always be a source of joy to your family.
@myths, i believed the plantain and oka own for a while oooo but at a point, my intense love for plantain no gree me.....started eating my plantain end of 2nd trimester.

Dont know how its related but my pcv that refused to rise from btw 32-34 for months suddenly jumped to 38 when i started taking the everyday fesolate and folic acid cos of high price of pregnacare. Like other mamas said, diet is also important, lots of fruits..... Preferably blend to smoothie, veggies and milk/biscuit bone for calcium.
I wish all September mamas save delivery. We will all come rejoicing with our Los in Jesus Name.

Sixx, the way you dey take find this and package this your bump enh...

U jst spoke my mind Mama Alphahandmaiden, hw can a grown man b living wif married couple 4 three years, yet can't afford to rent his own room?? All dos years, didn't he save at all, abi e wants to live in ur apartment ND builds his house?? Dos he even hav girlfriend at all?? Even while I was dating, I refused to visit a man dats squatting, even if na one room, privacy matters.

Amhappy, hav u ever walked naked frm ur room to sitting room for d past three years? U dnt nid to answer cos am jst thinking aloud. U hav rilly bin patient, anyone dat cnt contribute meaningfully to my life ND living wif me is jst a liability, ND he's nt related to either of u sef.
After all dirs somtin called flatmates or roommate, u share d rent.

I remembered bk in skul, had roommates, bt I cudnt mit up dir standards as dey already hav grownups who provide all dey nid. We stil Paid rent equally, wot iIdo is to avoid joint cooking, cos iImay nt hav d money wen next to cook.

In my year 2,had a friend who tried squatting, bt refused to contribute money nor food stuff, eating frm d little I brought frm home. Bt wen dirs no food, she Wil buy soft drink ND gala den back me while she eats... I had to tell her to leave with diplomacy after cooking I Wil jst lock my cupboard.. Was I right or wrong with my decision, since den iIneva leaved in d same hostel wif a close friend to avoid quarrel.

Jst take it easy...... He Wil. Leave soonest wif ur actions

Don't eat okra ogbono or snail when Preggy! That your baby will be drooling like an imbe
Big lie.


Dont allow a pregnant woman to make your hair that it will make you go bald yinmu

As in ehn.
The fear made me run from snail but my mum said eat anything u like and i am not looking back

That moi moi own is crazy, i cook moi moi n enjoy the shege.... lol

Lol. They didn't also tell you that the spot must be greased up constantly. The amount of oil my people used to put on the spot was enough to fry Akara

Lmao. Mama, u are very funny.

Lolz, I rememer when mum told me I was circumcised; I almost chop her raw. She had to convince me that it was my paternal grandparents that forced her to do it.
Pls let MIL and ur mum know u stance abt FGM and I believe they won't do it without ur consent.
I'm waiting to have a dd then let someone suggest circumcision, the person wud hate me forever.

Pregnant women making ur hair no good Sha. Na anger some dey use.

Myth myth myth, at liftedhands, even before iItot of getting married, I neva for once allowed a pregnant woman to make my hair oo, was afraid my hair Wil fall off. Chai, dis kind myths ehhh,

ND I ate plantain lik Kilode, ripe ND unripe, woe unto Oka, I heard dat too, even d snail, okro, ND me wey lik ewedu .... Am nt afraid of any myth...

Is it also tru dat yellow bulb light: when use in d room of a new born can lead to jaundice?

Iomoge2, don't fret over the baby's weight gain and vajj tearing yet

Around 500g is normal (give or take a few grams) so 700g is not too bad yet. Were you on bed rest after your fall?

Just watch over the next 2 weeks to see how it goes and ensure the hospital also watches for signs of GD.

Just catching up on your diary, didn't know you had one. It is well with you.

@chili89, congratulations and God bless your baby... Pls come and share your bs soon.

I can relate to that. Another myth, don't take cold water or ice when preggy, your baby will have jaundice or blocked nose.

Team April......xo xo happy!dear father I pray for your perfection towards this baby.

I decree that miscarriages wee never raise its ugly head again.

#if its a baby boy..i'll call him Ogochukwu/Efe
#if its a baby gyal..i'll call her osinachi/ufuoma

Thankhu Jesus!

Amen, u shall carry to term and deliver safely.

Yes oo, dey exist big tym, doing it in ur presence while one is hungry can b crazy...

I dnt even knw if am circumcised sef,cos d labia dats usually large ND protrudes out, iIdnt hav it, even my Dh asked me twice if iIwas circumcised, I dnt knw was my response, am against it after reading it online, iIcried ND was worried if truly I was. Somtimes iIhav a feeling I was circumcised. How do u feel at esof1?? Dnt knw how to ask my. Mum abt it, cos she's a nurse,

me I never hear this one before, not sure i can even comply if I had know about it.

I consume ice like it going out of fashion. People will wear jacket and scarf in the office and me I will still be asking tea girl to bring me a full cup of ice block that I want to drink cold water.

Same thing with first pregnancy too. My midnight snack was frozen milo/bourvita; I also Used to keep a frozen bottle of water in the freezer which I wrap in a small towel and take it to bed with me to hug.

Fear don dey catch me now......

ANYONE who tries any nonsense with your child, get them arrested for child abuse! Even for giving tribal mark sef without my consent in my opinion, not to talk of circumcision!

Walai! I dont care who you are You will submit your yansh and rusty blade, needle and thread because be i must slice you back!!!

In this day and age female circumcision! Please Let's call it what it is ! It is is genital mutulation pure and simple and it serves no good purpose in the life of the poor child!

Please start singing it out loud now so everyone knows your stance on the issue! Who circumcision don epp

Please o don't be scared. When DH heard it, he called me on phone and told me to stop taking it, for where, na then cold water craving start. They even told me that it'll make my baby big.
Ehn, that I should bathe with warm water and take warm water that it'll make me to fall into labor (40wks then), finally I was induced.
No be only jaundice. My dear eat whatever you want ni

In fact d cold water myth ehhh, no b here, pple kip asking me, hop u dnt drink cold water oo, it Wil make d baby gets pneumonia, with fear, i believed bt stil talk once in a while if my system is so hurt ND I cnt bear taking jst ordinary water.

Amhappy lik a mama said, it's bad to kip adult male in ur house. I work in a skul were we treat issues of a js 1 male touching a js female, a boy fingering a female student in js two, even severe cases dat dir parents were invited. D students were interviewed by d proprietor, who later disclosed dat dey saw dir uncle doing it to his girlfriend, or dir uncle asking dem to touch dis or dat part of his body... ND d likes... So many children bin abused by friends, relatives ND neighbors... Pls dnt get scared cos I believed u. Must hav heard it happening else were. More so, be careful wif ur kid(s) weda male or female. May d good lord help u handle dis in d right way so as nt to b termed a bad person.
