I Wish Somebody Had Told Me....Part 2

Yesterday Part of I wish somebody had told me talked about the challenges that come with Marriage and how shocked some of us by the things we didn't know then,that we know now.


OMG...I wish somebody had told me all about pregnancy before i carried and birthed my patters of tiny feet.


I wish somebody had told me that having CS sounded easy until you are cut open and sewed up..OH THE PAIN!


I wish somebody had told me all about Morning sickness,nausea,throwing up and all the Preggy related brouhaha.


I wish somebody had told me that breastfeeding is so OMG..Especially when the breast tries to start pumping milk after the birth...Oh the fever that comes with it! #Respect to cows that get milked for us to have milk!

I wish somebody had told me that i will never get my cute nose back after pregnancy

I wish somebody had told me that after having CS your tummy hardly ever goes back to normal....Hisss!

The sleepless nights?Oh I wish somebody had told me about that!

I wish somebody had told me that diaper change was almost every five minutes...The first time i was given my baby in hospital and he was left with me for an hour,he needed diaper change almost five times,i broke down crying thinking something was wrong..lol


Yes,I wish somebody had prepared me for all the pain and life changing changes but No,all they do is tell you how sweet it is with Labour!

No regrets when i see my angels but oh HOW I WISH I KNEW back then what i know now..

You wish you knew?whats your I wish

    4. I wish someone had told me about the first pee after delivery eww! How you can hardly wipe yourself due to the pain esp if you had an episiotomy. I wish someone had told me about the post delivery hemorrhoids. NO they only tell you the pain will vanish wen you see your baby. All na wash!

But all the same, am grateful Lord.

    10. @Jane so u still feel pain after delivery? Wow. So all these books are dashing me lies. That is how they said 2nd trimester is the easiest phase of ur pregnancy. My 1st trimester was better. Preggy is not easy mehn! What of the crying, mood swing. I can go on & on but I am thankful to God for the fruit. Sometimes, I am in awe of how I am carrying a living being in my belle.

      @NK, it will end in praise. I relocated to join my husband. It was not easy. Imagine leaving a 150k job for 30k job. In less than a year I was promoted twice. Be thankful and ask God to change ur story.

    12. After my first baby, I felt all the myth abt child labour was all false. I wish I knew how God was merciful towards me to av made it easy for me.
      The second was complete opposite. 2 days labour and then CS! I've tasted both sides and I just wish I was more prepared.
      I also wish I knew stress is detrimental to pregnancy. Holding a 3 months dead foetus n feeling its hardness is sumthg I will never wish on any woman.
      I just wish I knew all these and take life as easy as it comes. It is well with me though!

    1. Your gene play a great role in get your flat abd back. Not disputing that exercise helps greatly

      Delete
    2. Gene or no gene! You retained ur flat tummy most likely because the surgeon sewed ur muscles together wen closing you up. You don't want to know how much the muscles are stretched during a C/S. The muscles are usually not closed because adhesions will form and make the next surgery difficult. Exercise might burn the fat but toning the muscles might be difficult if they're not sewn together...

  36. I wish I knew it never really pays to be a lone-ranger, I would've had mature married people as friends back then before marriage.

    I wish I knew earlier, that so many people do not work with their conscience, and lie without any remorse!

    I wish I knew how tasking it is to be a pastor's wife, everyone feels u shouldbe super-human. They want to dictate EVERYTHING u do (ur dress,ur hairdo, ur sitting position in church, ur smiles.... Everything!)

    I wish I knew a lot of couples wearing 'and co' and calling each other sweet names on the outside were most times putting up a charade.

    I wish I knew fretting when a man hurts u, only makes him feel he has u in his palms....
    I wish I knew it doesn't pay to be hundred percent trusting back then.

    I wish I knew there are pains my kids would pass through which I wouldn't be able to help ease (like my girl's 1st immunization)

    I wish I knew the things I experienced in the early years of my marriage were stepping stones.... After many years of tears and 'regrets'...God set in! It's still hard to believe... But I'm grateful..... My own 'honeymoon' is just beginning. (Still seems like a dream!)

    Above all,I give God praise for lessons learnt

  39. I wish someone had told m about breast engorgement after delivery! OMG!!! I almost died. I think as bad as labour pain was,engorged breast is even much worse especially since its immediately after delivery. I do not wish it on anyone. Instead they just be talking "hope you will breast feed" left and right.

    I wish someone had told me that breastfeeding is not a walk in the park. Lol.

    But for the belly thing you need to workout and maybe use waist trainers and watch what you are eating. Because my belly is back to normal.But the nose thing ..I totally agree with you. it doesn't go back ,I don't just understand it !!
    It is all worth it for "my happy thought" though. love love love him!!!

  40. God knows you made this post for me, Stella. I wish someone had told me that the pains of childbirth are unbelievable, shocking and indescribable. I felt like I was in a dungeon filled with demons and tortured by them... I practically visited hell. Click below to read how my first labour and childbirth were...

  42. Before even childbirth, pregnancy was epic. The nausea was something else. I looked different, felt different, acted differently. I even started snoring during my third trimester! Hah, life is full of surprises! Please read my experiences below.

  47. I wish God will bless my DH so he can provide for us. I have been the sole provider since we got married and I am getting tired. I can even save cos everything goes in to our upkeep.He works but I earn more than him, that's why he leaves everything for me to do. I wish I could be hard hearted for once cos he is taking it for granted. Our baby is almost 2yrs now and he has never bought a piece of sock for him.He leaves everything for me to do. Don't even know if that's what is affecting my libido. we need another child but Ive lost every urge for sex. Wish I didn't look at my age and ended up marrying someone I feed and clothe. I married at 37.

    1. The secret is to act broke while youve got your stash in the bank....it can still be corrected. ..start bit by bit..stop buying everything regularly. .if he complains tell him sweetly that you ran out of cash cause of demands on the extended family front.

      If you stop spending he'll gradually readjust..start gradually don't get all the groceries you need at once..leave some out

Feeding a man is not good for ur health.It kills libido..Yes it does.But i wont tell u to stop cos it might bring problem im ur marriage.God hates divorce.Find away to discuss and sort it out witj ur husband.Even if he dont want to be d breadwinner of d home,atleast he can be d butter winner no matter how small.It will goa long way.

  55. I wish I was told that scratching my itchy belly when I was Preggy would leave giant stretchmark on my Tommy after childbirth mmmmmm how I enjoyed using comb to scratch away not knowing the scars that would awaits. me, kai I wish I knew about ori and aloe vera when the scar was in it early stage now I feel so ashamed to stand bare before hubby but my consolation is seeing my children playing all over and am happy that God used me as a vessel for His creations.

  56. Biko,is this I wish all about pregnancies?.
    I want to know.

    Anyways,in hall my pregnancies,I never vomited. Not for once. But during my 2nd pregnancy,a man (the plumber),came to the house smelling as if he swam in tank of that body spray called Cool River. I nearly gagged n asked my girl to tell him to wait for oga outside. (I smelt this perf from upstairs o.). I visited someone n when she served the food,I told her to pls mix my rice n veggie n reheat them in a pot n make it burn. Chai. She agreed n said she understood.

    Pls,is my own normal?. My libido was always like 120% in my pregnancies. I dey fire die then. I was worried n raised that question at an antenatal n the women were busy laughing kikikikiki.

  59. Reading all these comments scare me more, I'm due in a month by God's grace and I've been told I might undergo CS if my baby doesn't turn in less than two weeks, I thought CS was an easy way out but every time people talk about the pain associated with it, I just get scared.

  60. Why is the post only about mothers? So all of you saying you wish this you wish that, would it have made you not get pregnant? Long hiss.

  61. Anon 20:36... Forget my dear, CS is an easy way out. Atleast for me it was.... For my first child I had CS, on my baby's naming, I was dancing like there was no tomorrow... For my second child, I had a vaginal delivery. I had an episonomy and was sutured. Back home, cos my mum and mother in law is late, one elderly woman came to help me with hot water bath...my dear she used hot scalding water to destroy my vjayjay... The pain was out of this world, I was screaming like a cow. On the naming ceremony, I was limping so bad! the actual Labour nko? I saw heaven and came back...pushing out the baby nko? God is awesome! I tell everyone and anyone that my CS experience was better o! Slept and woke up with my baby beside me! the recovery period wasn't so bad, you have to be strong and you need some help, shikena... May you delivery safely,mama to be... Whichever way, your prize is your child. Remove the fear of CS from your mind. its not so bad...

  62. I wish I agreed to date my husband sooner and not wasted my time with my smelly exes (but then we probably would have broken up so maybe not), I wish I understood how immensely painful childbirth would be ( although that may have put too much fear in me), I wish I had not taken so much shit from those guys in my past (however I believe going through that helped me to see that my husband is Godsent and not taken him forgranted). I miss Nigeria, I wish to return, this England just bores me (but thank God for uninterrupted light, peace and quiet, no generator noise). I could keep wishing but I believe everything happens as it is destined to and I am greatful for all my negative and positive experiences as I learnt from them and they have made me the woman I am today.

  66. I wish someone has told me the pain that comes with labour and veejay tear, I would have opted for cs to avoid it,
    I wish someone have told me that I would always have to be half undressing even in church just to breastfeeding my baby, I would have invested in an electric Breast pump, the manual I have isn't working or maybe I don't know how to use it.
    I wish that some has told me that there is no timetable when you have a baby, I wouldn't have made so much plans
    I magine me thinking I would work and still graduate in record 3years while still taking care of the baby and home.
    My hubby was laughing at me the whole time when I was blabbing on how I won't waste time at school like some of his female friends he told me about who has been studying gradually there at obodoyiobo .
    I wish someone has told me that there is nothing like day or night with babies, they can chose to play around mid night, you better be awake to babble and play with them or else you will hear wailing.
    Do to say its is sleeping time, where they are coming from, there is nothing like day and night.

  71. I wish u all would still realise ppl have different body types and the way they react to hormonal changes. I am a day into my third trimester. Never vomited,no morning sickness ( even stronger in d mornings and all day). No nausea, no stretchmarks, looking more beautiful, feel more sexy, i spray perfumes like my life depends on it. The only thing my pregnancy brought me is OCD. I jst cant stop cleaning. I have bought almost all cleaning liquids available... Gas cleaner, toilet, mirrow shiner, wood polisher.. Name them....i jst thank God though. Kudos to all mothers in the house

    I wish I didn't marry a yoruba man. Now we are separated. My joy is complete when I look at my kids. I know God will bless me with a good job to look after them. God will console me.
    BTW, marriage is over rated, maybe it's cos I made a mistake in mine.
