[quote author=olabrinks post=82406093]I looked in the mirror today and I cried.
I’m just feeling so down at the moment I don’t know if it’s hormones but I’m just feeling so out of it, like I just can’t recognise the human being in front of me. I know I should be grateful for this bl

It's ok to feel that way .some of us have felt that way at some point.but the thought of bringing a life into the world is worth it all.embrace your self and tell yourself that your body is going through a divorce process.yoy can apply makeup if it makes you feel better.there are very pretty gown you can wear it doesn't have to be maternity cloths.do fun things.spoil your self and before you know it,9months would be over and you see your beautiful baby.and in all things,give thanks.sing listen to music.associate with preggy Mama's and everything would be fine.

The delivery will cost as much as the food. Trust me. Abuja vendors no de smile.

Wow, I'm not in Abuja tho.

Thank you mamas I feel much better than I did earlier on. I’ve read everyone’s replies
I think I was just feeling overwhelmed, being a ftm I’m just trying to get used to it. Embracing every flaw and imperfection from now, and I know it will be worth it when I meet the love of my life in March 2020.

Thanks for all the support love u all.

Please my people is it very early to start craving things at 6 weeks abi na ojukokoro (aka long throat).

You can also tell us crazy things you've craved for or how you went about getting what you craved for

For me: few days back I ate some's fried stew with yam and panla fish . The next day I craved for it, I went out to get all the ingredients but I couldn't archive that tast. I can't seems to get the tast of the stew away from my head. Guess what? I just gave her a call begging her to please make the stew in a big bowl so that I will keep it in the freezer �

You guys with cravings, lucky you! For me, there’s no appetite to eat anything. The thought of eating sef scares me. I can’t wait to have that ojukokoro

This was me in my first pregnancy.... I hated food.... But this is totally opposite...... As they say, every pregnancy is different

Mamas in the house kindly advise. How important is anomaly scan at 20wks?
I went for my appointment today and asked the dr about it but was told my HMO doesn’t cover it. I want to pay and get it done. What do you advise please?
Looking forward to your response. Thank you

Hallo mommas!

I have been following this thread from page one since my Gf introduced me to it a month ago.
I have never commented but, all the stories here have been helpful.

Today, I am writing because I finally allowed it all to get to me today.

So, Last week (2019) Thursday, I was in a work meeting when I suddenly realised my pant was getting wet.
At first I thought, "am I urinating on masef"? After about 10mins, I took to the convenience, only to realise I was bleeding and I was stained.
Gosh!!!
I was really freaked out and then I started to speak to my God, my only absolution.

I quickly had a memory rush down the lane.

Last year (2018) August, I was about 8 weeks. I had had a very busy/stressful day at work and then I jumped into my momma's car for about 45mins to an hr trip back to my family home.

I often have abdominal cramps at intervals but my frn said not to worry, "it's implantation. It's the baby growing and so on.

So, that faithful Friday, I had these cramps come severally and fade away. My loss only came the next day, after I had slept almost half my Saturday, I woke up to notice blood.
It started gradually and then it got heavy with painful cramps.
To cut the story short, I was rushed to the hospital but all attempts to keep the baby was abortive.

To mention that this wasn't my greatest pain but, the pain I experienced in the theatre during evacuation was nothing I had ever felt in all my life.

Fast forward to last week (2019) Thursday.

So, I cried in the convenience, both with faith and fear and I spoke to God.
Please, may I not tell the same sad story again, Lord.

Funny, i felt nothing.
It was different.
No pains and no cramps.
I called hubby and quickly got to the nearest lab, only for the specialist to hand a -ve result to me again.

I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

I had stopped bleeding and there was no clot or heavy flow, I asked him, why this result

He tried to explain but when he noticed I was clouding, he quickly recommended that I see my doctor.

Hubby tried his best to comfort me and we silently went home.

I still felt strong that nothing was wrong and I went home, cried, prayed and pleaded God.
Yet, after several other confirmations, the resolution was another evacuation which I finally took the strength to do last Wednesday.
I was 11 weeks already, according to the doctor.

I did my best in my knowledge to ensure I didn't have a sad ending.

Rest
Eat
Folic acid
B complex
Duphoston

Yet, here I am feeling strong, faithful but sad.
Gone through another gruesome evacuation pains and stuck with antibiotics again.

Looking forward to the time when God will give me the child I had prayed for.
The seed that will stay.

Thank you Jesus.

I think the anomaly scan is very important, it's to check that your baby is developing perfectly, ALL body parts of the baby are checked, external and internal organs, the position of your placenta and more. This is to rule out any form of anomalies. You also get to see your baby doing stunts in your tummy Trust me it's a lovely sight to behold

All is well mama, sorry for all you are going through. I love your strength and positivity. Dont loose faith cos the God you serve is with you always and will make you laugh very very soon. Your womb is blessed. E-hugs to you mama

And the father is?

other children would be if you are getting more?

Be aware that you children are visitors inyour home
They will spend max of 23yrs fully in your home unlike your partner who's expected to be forever, so think this through and deeply.

Thought to share this for mamas going through heartburn/acid reflux like me.
God led me to a solution more in ripe pawpaw.
I bought it cause I was craving pawpaw anyway �

I discovered I had a very good night sleep devoid of heartburn (except frequent urination �) after taking pawpaw as a dessert!..

Since then, pawpaw it is for my heartburn solution. I finally dumped gascol, gestid, gelusil (which absolutely never worked for me till I discovered pawpaw ).

Any mama willing to try can do so too, if you would not mind.

Happy Bumping.

Her children are the love of her life, same with her hubby who's her betahalf . Even her parents and siblings too.

Not here to argue
stated my opinion
let her digest it and make whatever she wants from it.

We have cases of women switching their love to their kids while relegating their husband. Not advisable

That's all I have to say

This life na wa
Anyone can choose to call their children any sweet name they like, same goes to their partners. That doesn't mean one is less important, It's not that deep
Let's stop over thinking things abeg.

Where did you come from? My child is the love of my life, so is my husband and every other person who is close to me. Are you just trying to start an argument? Thank you and goodbye.

Team December am I the only one in this? My tummy is so massive that everyone thinks I will put to bed anytime soon. On Tuesday I got to work late and 3 different people told me that they thought I had put to bed because they didn't see me on time. Thursday again someone saw me and said this my tummy is big and she knows I will stop coming to work soon I said why cos I never ready to born she was she said which you are coming next month I laughed and said even month after and I quickly ran out of the office before they ask for my EDD would have posted a pic but I donate any and I'm even lazy to stand right now. Who else is with me on this?

Ur strength is commendable, it hurts when you know, you did your best and then u get this -ve result, i don't have any medical advice to give but one thing I know, is the God that sees your heart will surprise you, who knows for these two you have miscarried, you might be pregnant for twins next time. Just keep the faith alive. You will come back here with your Birth story. You have thanked Him, watch him go in action for you. E- hug sister
