Jamjam5000 congrats on the birth of your princess kisses to her kiss kiss


XX01 you can still boost your PCV before your due date just eat lots of garden egg leaf it works faster than ugu! You can also ask your doctor to prescribe Astyfer capsules for you.

I was anaemic during my Preggy and was also billed for a transfusion until I started on the Anara leaf and astyfer combo which gave me a boost from a 24% to 35 in less than a month.

Note Hemoglobin(HB) and haematocrit (PCV)levels are not numberd the same.

Normal range for HB starts from 11.00 any thing lower is considered worrisome for a pregnant woman.

While PCV for a pregnant woman should be from 33% upwards.
It's most likely a HB test was done for you during the follow up and not PCV because for your PCV to get to 10 na kpai be that o.

My dear, your walk in will work for you. He said cos of a new regulation about induction leadin to CS with certain complications and they re test running it frm d state I am.

He didn't prescribe dis particular one, jst said I shld gt any1 I'm comfortable with. I recently bought one 'gummy bear' multivite for my son and he so loves it so wen I saw gummies prenatal, I decided to give myself a 'treat' too...lol

cheesy enjoy ur treat joo...u need it.

Ur Dr is right, cos induction is supposed to be a second option. In a situation where one just opts for the 2nd option & it fails, the next step is 3rd option which is CS. so i quite agree with him. i also thought about this last night.

God is in charge anyway. His will, not ours!
Besides, labour might even come on its own even before that 39th week.

The Nurse on duty wrote down the time I gave my first scream. The contractions had started. True to what the Nurses said, even though the timings of the contractions were not too close, I lost interest in the food. I closed it. I did the deep breathing and exhaling thing when the contractions came. I couldn't even tell if it helped with the pains or not but I just kept doing it. Hubby said I should walk around, I shouted at him to go. That what does he know, where does he want me to get strength from and walk around. I told him I want to go and sleep and he left. I climbed my bed and closed eyes to sleep. For where! Who could sleep with such pains....when the pains came I would hold the bed so strong I could break it with my bare hands cheesy . I was in pains. cry cry cry I was soaked in sweat. I begged the Nurses to fan me . She obliged and sat by my bed side to do the little she could. I was literally breathing with my mouth sef. The Jaws in my mouth started hurting. Looks like I opened the mouth too wide to breath. I really tried not to scream ...then came a dustraction from my pains! There was another lady in Labour too so the Nurses on night duty were also attending to her. She kinda looked like she wasnt in much pain ooo but I didn't even know she was getting weak. She was taken to the delivery bed to push but she couldn't. ....Looks like forceps were used to deliver the baby . But he came out almost blue and not crying. ..

Omg come and see beating that was given to the poor boy. Head turned down, he was pinched repeatedly, no where! Eveen an adult that is given such beatings will scream in annoyance...The mother started crying....see Nurses running helter skelter! The brought Oxygen and stuffed his nose...he had swallowed everything swallowable....I was so scared ...for a moment I forgot my pains that were becoming unbearable. . After about 20 mins, he gave a very weak cry......I feared for the mother who was crying and praying....The boy was placed under light too. When the saw that he was a bit stable... One nurse rushed to stitch and clean up his mother....

Around 8.30, looks like someone lit a furnace and place my waist and pelvis over it. I started crying. I told Nurses I want to poo o ooo.....I want to push o ooo. The Nurses immediately screamed no oo ooo, do you want to wound your cervix and your baby...Don't push if you are not asked to ooo. I died! I was checked then and 6cm dilated! I was discouraged. ...i thought it's only when you get to 8cm that you have this kind of pains oo ooo.... the nurse held my hand and said ...don't worry, it will soon be over...I held tightly to it and refused to let go again. When the contractions come, I will hold her so tight n didn't realise when I pinched her in the process. .She said I will pinch you back o ooo... I said Nurse sorry please, don't pinch me back. .. chai....I humble!

Around 10.30, I was checked again and I was 8cm dilated. They broke my water... omo, e b like 3literes of water were rushing out from my VJ angry angry
The Nurse said before 12 am, we should be out of here...I started saying Nurse take this baby out from me now ooo.....She kept said you are the one to make that possible oo....
Around 11, she checked again and said thank you Jesus...I asked and she said 10cm ...time to push...She said push with alll your might with the next contraction.. next contraction. ..poo came out...na so so ooo I dey ooo... after like 10mins and I have pooed all that was in my system, no strong contractions came again...She told the other Nurse to setup Oxytocin drip for me....

Contractions came and I tried....God knows I tried but she said am not doing anything cry angry How could I not be do anything. ? Contractions came again and I tried...She said am not sustaining the pushing force....I tried and tried....no where. I just screamed at her at once...bring those forceps!
She held my hands and said....did you see what happened to the other baby... do you want that to happen to your baby...
Chai...that was all I needed to hear to muster all the strength to give my last try! I couldnt possibly watch my baby being beaten like that ....battling to save him.
Next contractions I pusheddddddd and she cut me thinking I no hear...lai lai. .I heard the cut! A third degree cut sef
He came out screaming his lungs out! I started crying. ...
Almost uncontrollably. .. So I was a mummy at 11.35pm Nigerian time! Placenta was delivered with no difficulty. It was big and they exclaimed they haven't seen a massive placenta in a long while. .....So a 3.5kg baby with a big placenta was responsible for my long tummy that had everyone expecting twin for me.

Tears dried up when she said. ..time to stitch....I begged for anaesthesia. ..She said no. That it will make vulva swell and stitching difficult and longer..I begged and begged... She gave me ...and started stitching. ..the effect waned when she didn't finish stitching! Chai....
I screamed my lungs out! That thing pain me!!!
I was recoiling back with each needle incision. ...I had to ask her how many stitches were left....She said 10. I started counting....1, 2, 3.......when I got to 9...I then reminded her 1 to go...She then said the worst...
She was starting all over again as everywhere was swollen and she couldn't just do one stitches. ..I don't even understand what she was saying. ...I cried my heart out...I started begging for C.S cry cry cry I cried n shouted...

Whoever invented Episotomy should be jailed for life with hard Labour! ! It was tooooooo painful me. ...Raw pain.....
I finally got up from that delivery bed after cleaning at 12 45. I couldn't walk well. Stomach pains from uterus contracting back and pains from cut didn't let me. embarassed cry

Child birth no be beans o ooo..at least it wasn't for me!
From my experience I realised that:
1. You don't only have pains when contraction comes...it's just that contraction pains are more definite kind of.

2. Walking when I'm labour didn't walk for me. Lying down did better for me. I would have exhausted myself from walking and wouldn't be able to push.

3. Induction was not so bad. My Labour didn't last too long. Pains started 6.30pm n by 11.35pm everything ended (apart from the stitching drama). Anyways, since I haven't had natural labour I can't compare much . But I think if induction makes labour faster, I will go with it again. No one deserves to labour for long please. You didn't commit murder.

4. Breathing helps( or so they say grin)...just try and breath

5. NO MAN DESERVES TO MALTREAT ANY WOMAN THAT HAS HAD A CHILD FOR HIM...! IT SHOULD BE IN THE CONSTITUTION. ....

Britneystacy thank God for everything! I so agree with with that number 5. It should be made a capital punishment angry grin

Episiotomy isn't bad it's just our naija mentality of not numbing the area first! I can't fathom how a woman will be made to go thru that shortly after pushing a baby out! that's inhuman cry

Kiss Ekene for me kiss kiss
