Yayyyy! My friend just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl!!! I want to share her BS o because i have plenty kwestions.

BS

On Wednesday i called her to ask if she was coming for ANC so i can pick number for her, as i usually go early. She said yes but i noticed she was sounding tired on phone. She was already 40 weeks and the dr said she has to be induced on Thursday latest. At first she didn't want to be induced and tried eating lots of pineapples and trekked a very long distance, just to induce labor. But contraction nor gree show face. The obgyn said he doesn't let his patients pass 40 weeks because of the risk. That if she doesn't want to be induced, she should find another hospital to handle her case.
So when she came for ANC that Wednesday, she went in to see the obgyn who checked her and said she was already showing some signs of contraction but not dilating.
The next day she and hubby packed bags and came to the hospital for the induction. The induction was super painful. They fixed something like balloon (nor laugh me o, i nor remember the name) inside her cervix and she say the pain was almost unbearable. After then she started dilating. By 11pm she was already 9cm. The dr and nurses were happy that she is progressing fast.
All of a sudden, she stopped dilating. They waited and waited for hours, no progress. All this while the midwives were checking the baby's heartrate regularly to be sure the baby is okay.
After long hours of waiting, no more dilation, labor wasnt coming, baby wasn't crowning, no sign of the head, nothing, they had to opt for emergency CS.
And her baby girl came out looking all yummy and beautiful. Mother alive, baby alive. I'm still with her at the hospital.


Oya, my kweshions! Why is it hard for FTM to have contractions and dilate without being induced? Besides trekking and pineapple, are there ways to induce labor naturally? What might be the reason why cervix will stop dilating?


NB: This is not my birth story o biko

Yes. I had my ceyclage (don't know if it's d correct spelling) done in my 12th weeks or so. After d procedure I was surprised, I didn't feel anything at all. When they brought me out from the theatre, I asked d Dr if dt was all, he said yes. I tot I will feel it but for where, I didn't even feel anything. I was discharged the following day and to the glory of God am still ok.

God will keep the babies in our womb alive and we will be here to tell our stories like others. Amen.

Nice weekend to you all.

Abeg I wan rant as my body dey hot.
I'm using two hospitals. While hospital A gave me castor oil to use by saturday night to induce labour since it'll be last edd given and the baby is big from the last scan done, the hospital B is just waiting for me to fall labour naturally even if it's ten months gone (so as to opt for cs, I suppose).
Today I feel heaviness down there with cramp and watery discharge. As a ftm, don't know what to term it so I went to hospital B which is 15 mins walk to complain and to be checked maybe. Though today is not antenatal but met 3 nurses on duty watching movie. I sat down and told them what i was feeling and if to be checked. They all laughed at me that if I was in labour, I wouldn't be calm and walked to the hospital. Then one of them asked me to follow her so as to check me. Then one of them made a statement rude tone that it was not necessary or the nurse like to be inserting her hand to veejay anyhow.
I felt dirty and embarrassed, stood up in tears and told them not to bother again. The nurse who wanted to attend to me ran after and console me.
I was so mad that I wasn't given attention in my condition. Not because I enjoyed being checked. I did it once and it was painful but wanted them to check so as to know if cervix is opening or use the castor oil.
Some nurses are so mean and callous. They should go for communication and counselling classes

Is like today is ranting day.

Make I rant my own.

Gave someone money to do business. She told me she will make 100% of the money in a month. That was since November oo. Now tori don start. Posting me on top the 50% of the money I asked for for over a month now.

People eeee, God knows I want her to prosper and stop begging me for money always reason why I close my eye give am the money to start up, now plus the profit plus the capital, like say she don chop am. This is someone that is still being fed, housed, clothed, so what did she use the money for?

I don make up my mind say, if at the end she no see the 50% give me, I will forget it and never will I ever ever give her a kobo of my money.

That is the second time am starting her up and nothing to show for it.

So sorry about your experience. This is one reason I like to use two clinics, if one fail I run fast to the other.

But how far? Have you been checked? Or have you gone to the second hospital? I feel you should have gone to the one that gave you castol oil seeing they started you on it to induce labour.

Pele, it will end in praise and thanksgiving.

@Zaynie, pls answer my question on unripe pawpaw, it's still staring at me oo, never chop am and hubby is back, should we eat it together or I give him alone?

Dont eat o!
Abeg carry yourself and drink juice with pawpaw inside. Or eat the ripe one.
It contaims a substance called latex which cause uterine contractions.
It is also said to cause miscarriage and even stillbirths
Better safe than sorry.

Mamas, dont ever let your Medical practitioners put u down. Ever!
No matter how gentle you are, try to speak up for yourself.

Una know say me I sabi story well well.
1. When Moyo was born, I was fine buh Moyo wasnt so off to the NICU he went. Because of CS, I was bedridden from Sunday afternoon to Tuesday morning or so. It meant I hadnt gotten a good look at him. When I got to his NICU, I saw his Dr and we spoke. I read his chart and saw that he had swallowed my blood from when he was inside and would be unable to eat anything till it was all pumped out. So he was on drip all through. By the time I saw him his feet were swollen, even his hands too.
I was like no P. He will survive this.
So after speaking with the Dr, he said by Wednesday, they would have pumped it all and he would be discharged. Na so my belle dey sweet that finally we were going home.
On Wed morning, I went there, read the update on the chart , saw that he was stable and good to go, my nurse came to drag me so I could rest and because our Drs were on rounds.
I slept off hoping to be called to come amd carry baby only for a fellow mama whose baby was in NICU came to call me to buy more drugs and drips. I was like what?
My eyes were red and I was scared that sth had happened while I was sleeping.
I got there and just went to my Dr and asked
" why is he getting more drugs? His chart says he's ok now"
This Dr wasnt alone o, there was another very pretty woman ( unknown to me she was the Chief Consultant for Paed) and the Chief Matron and some elderly nurses sha.
The Dr was like " have you bought the drugs?'
I said " why are u pumping him full of drugs, he's barely 4 days old.
By this time my voice was raised and my I was already crying.
Then oyinbo started " you ppl are overloading his liver, check his feet and hands, swollen to an extent that his skin peeled off ( in 4 days o!), none of your nurses noticed it until I came to see him. Then I shouted "He's just a baby!".
Everywhere was eerily quiet, then I walked out. At the stairs I was really cryinh and was about to go to the pharmacy to get the drugs needed.
The fellow mama now tapped me, she was like ' ah! They wont attend to you again, see how you shouted at the Consultant! Are you the only one here?"
I just looked at her and said " As long as I pay my tax,l will be attended to cos my tax pays their salary" Just I said that, one of the mama nurses came out and was like Consultant is calling you.
I went in and she was like " is this your first child?"
I answered affirmative. She then pulled all the drips out of Moyo and asked me to breastfeed him. As a FTM, I was gropping and the nurse was like " shebi u were shouting now, oya feed him now'
Trust me, I gave her eyeing of life.
The consultant cautioned her and instructed her to teach me how to breastfeed. Even when milk wasnt coming out, this consultant told her to break the syringe ( without needle) to act as a small breast pump. Once feeding was established she picked her bag, smiled at me and left.
When she had gone, the Dr just laughed and called me Professional Mommy. Its been almost 4 years and thats what he still calls me. He remembers Moyo like it was yesterday.
The next day ( Thursday), they said he would be discharged. I was so excited. Then the same fellow mama called Drs attention that my son's eyes were yellow. That it could be jaundice. I said how will a child born on Sunday now develop yellow eyes by Thursday, beside his fathers younger brother has very yellow eyes. Dr said oya do test, if it comes out negative by 6 pm you can go home. They started him on phototherapy. Result came in by 5 pm, borderline. Dr was no where to be found. So I googled all night! What could cause jaundice to sudden show up, then I found out that the exact combo of drugs I was induced with could cause it plus the bp drugs I was on then too.
By the time Dr came in the morning, I was ready.
I gave my speech and he smiled all thru.
Lo and behold we checked his eyes again and they were cleared. We were discharged.


I used to be VERY QUIET! So quiet that I didnt always answer attendance in class cos was shy till I had no result!
So shy that ppl used to walk all over me.
Until I had enough! I said NO MoRe!
Now if you do what I dont like I will tell you outrightly! If I like you, I will use gentle voice to tell you, If I no send you, omo I go burst for your head o.
Sayoddy, you for para for that nurse. Na that kain stewpid nurse go dey argue with woman in labour say time to born never reach and if you look am well na auxillary o ( Nurse Kaffy, I no reach your side o).
