With my first I was induced, the pain was out of this world. Because I was induced I had all sorts of contraptions attached to my body to monitor the baby, so I couldn't move about freely. All I had on was an oversized tee shirt. At a point I was going to sit on the floor but my hubby told me off, I confessed my sins ,prayed for forgiveness ,sang , moaned. I kept asking the female midwives "do you have kids? Did you shout like this when in labour? Are other women like this in labour? Then I had gas and air and the thing made me high, like I was drunk. When they finally heeded to my demands for epidural it was too late I was too dialated. My 2nd was funny I promised myself " no drama". The moment I knew labour had set in I woke hubby, went had a shower dressed up , applied make up in between contractions.........then proper labour set in sharp sharp I carry the same hands comot the same clothes. In fact I almost had the baby on the hospital corridor. God is great 8 Likes |

Asking me to share my first labour experience is just asking to read my testimony. Okay now, lemme encourage someone with it. I was post dated, baby enjoying my tummy and was giving an appointment for induction. Dressed like the chick, I went with my property to the hospital, at d registration center, I told them I can to deliver, they were all laughing at me. I was admitted over-night, while I was waiting to get my cannula, I saw a woman in labour seriously abusing the nurses, I was laughing and the doctor attending to me was like urs is on the way. During the night, a nurse came to meet me that she is selling the drug for induction that hers is very effective that if I allow them use that of the hospital, that I will be in labour for days o, I asked her how much, just a thousand naira so I bought, you can bring along your drug in the hospital. At about 4am, The Doc came to insert the drug, then I already took my bath, I had shaved myself before coming, I was still feeling calm, in the next 3 hours, the music changed, at about 8am my friend came with Easter Fried Rice and Chicken because it was on a easter sunday, I was still eating, Chai! I couldn't finish that food. I was just too restless, I began walking up and down oh, if my contractions were coming, I'll hold something, I even held the woman next to me, the squeezing of her hands didn't allow her give her hands to me again, Chizzy will tell me, please tie ur wrapper very well and I'll be like who cares, whoever wants to see should look. Lol. At a point, the nurses told me to save some of my energy for the pushing, cos my walking around was much, I replied that when that time comes, d energy will come, called my mum, ask her if it was okay to cry, she said no oh, to start with crying, u might end up having all ur kids with cry cry oh, the only checked me twice to tell me I was in 6cm. Gbam onto the delivery couch, see me singing I have no power if my own, holy spirit help me, my second second, I cannot do this on my own, my song cum sweet, on d couch close to me, the woman there said stop singing those type of songs and I replied is not God that will help me. Exactly 4:19pm I was only told to push once and I did, that was how my Princess arrived even though I was given an episiotomy cos she was big and being a primip too. It was after she came out that one of the nurses said it seems as if I have worked in an hospital before I then replied her that I AM A HEALTH PRACTITIONER as I registered my antenatal as a student. Only God made it happened oh, to think a baby of 3.5kg could cone out through that my tiny V is a miracle, Shout hallelujah somebody 20 Likes 1 Share |

I actually had a good labor experience (at least it seems that way to me now for my first). I woke up that morning and threw up for the first time since I got pregnant and that was the first indication that I would put to bed that day. I had sharp bearable pains and tried to time them but they were irregular. However couldn't lie down so I slept sitting up. By the time I woke up I was 4 mins apart so I took a shower and headed to the hospital. After checking me they said I was just 1cm dilated and they won't admit me. I started thinking of all the $ they will charge for false labor but the contraction machine showed them I was having strong frequent contractions so they kept me under observation for an hour After an hour I was 5cm so they admitted me and gave me an epidural. That thing is bliss mehn. I was able to gist, chat on my phone, sleep. In 2 hours when they checked me I was at 10cm. Time to push, however my dr was taking a delivery so they made me wait about 30 mins. I felt mad pressure of the baby descending on my pelvic bone I thought the epidural had failed but after giving birth I couldn't walk so it definitely did not fail. That pressure was painful. Especially since they made me wait Anyways, when my dr came. Time to push, they really encouraged me and told me they could see her head full of hair. Epidural made pushing harder and they gave me an oxygen mask at some point. I remember shaking and also throwing up. But it took about 10 mins. I literarily saw my tummy deflate by half size. By the time she came out it felt like bliss. She weighed 3.7kg I dint feel the placenta come out, also dint feel the sewing, they managed my pain well with pain killers and in about 4days I had forgotten I gave birth and was considering exercising However, motherhood was the real test. Sleepless nights, endless cries.... All worth it now for my beautiful intelligent daughter It does get easier andbetter with time I'm on my second and last journey by his grace 20 Likes |

Anytime I remember my birth story, I just know it was God at work. it was one of the most exciting moments of my life. So painless as compared to stories and all that I have read online. Got to the hospital at 9am in the morning and gave birth at 1pm. I didn't cry or shout, my doctor even thought I had run mad because I was too calm. The pain I felt was like normal menstrual cramps. Baby came out with ease and I was bold enough to ask the doctor "if that was all". I was expecting more (don't mind me, I had read too many horrible stories). To expectant mothers, God will make it easy. Funny enough, my menstruation days was hell, vomiting and all. So having this supernatural delivery still amazes me till date. 12 Likes |

I go to the labour ward, witness deliveries and these experiences constantly remind me that there is a God! It's amazing watching the process. I'm still scared though, when I think of how mine might turn out. Future hubby, I'm really hoping we'll go through labour together. Don't tell me you left me in safe hands ooo or that I'm a medical student or doctor by then. ayam telling you now! I just learnt something here though, which might not be in the pages of my textbook. Just like walking around or being busy when having those menstrual cramps, I think I agree to walking around during labour, well until one is advised better not to. Now, I have a question for my lecturers. Thank you, NL family for sharing your experiences. 1 Like |

Another blog post How Colic Affects Your Baby Though my baby is 10 months old, I remember I have not written anything about colic and how colic affects your baby. My baby sometimes had prolonged periods of crying during the day which we attributed to colic but we never really knew the effect of colic on my baby. These crying spells often took place during the evenings just before he was to be fed and it occurred during the first three weeks of birth and when he was three months old. But how does colic affects your baby? No one knows exactly what colic is or what causes it, but many doctors believe it’s a type of stomach ache that occurs in spasm and makes the baby draw up her legs in pain. The pattern of crying would indicate cramp-like pains, the baby is miserable and distressed, then calms down for a few minutes before starting to scream again. This may continue for several hours at a time, which can become tiring and upsetting for both of you. http://firstimedaddy.com/2016/12/27/colic-affects-your-baby/ |
