Woke up Friday morning feeling very OK went to my brothers house just a stone throw and came back home. My elder sister came visiting we chatted and I decided to go to agege to get flask for baby .all this while I was feeling OK just tired. From agege we couldn't get the flask we went to ojodu berger market and still no flask. From there my sis went home and I went to see my mum since her house is not far from berger.
Got to mums place played with her and left for my house around 6. Trekked home by passing the back to my house cause I felt have not been doing enough exercise
Got home hubby came back and asked what we were eating I told him I want jellouf rice.

@ comtem2011 Congrats on the safe delivery of your Princess . May God preserve her always

Beautiful mummy's, once again I want you all to help me say a big THANK YOU to HARLEYBEE AND ZAYNIE, These 2mummies greatly blessed me and I can't just thank them enough. I was able to reach them and I collected not just clothes but clean/neat beautiful clothes,most of them are even new with labels,shoes,socks,caps and a chicco baby lotion. My prayer for them is that WHATEVER THEIR HEART DESIRE IS,GOD WILL DO IT SPEEDILY, AS THEY HAVE DECIDED TO HELP ME IN THIS TRYING TIME,HELPERS WILL LOCATE THEM FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE WORLD, THEY WILL NEVER LACK ANYTHING GOOD IN LIFE,AND NO EVIL SHALL COME NEAR THEIR DWELLING . And to all mummies, safe delivery is your portion, thanks to you all
*The first picture are items gotten from HAYLEYBEE, and the second is from ZAYNIE

MY BIRTH EPISTLE
Firstly, I thank God for his grace and mercies upon my family. No matter the circumstances he remains unchanged, his faithfulness is eternal
My preggie came as a blessing to us the very month I weaned my first daughter. I actually breastfed her for 2 years lol, pls don't give me that bad eye, it seemed a natural contraceptive for me as I wasn't having periods till about 18 months post partum so I practically became a porn star exploring all the explorable with my one and only actor lol. However I started tracking Ovulation when Aunty flow returned and it worked till I under calculated and my God sent took her seat and fastened her belt.
The preggie was smooth all along till week 30 when I had a bike accident and things started taking a different route . I took myself to the hospital immediately and after a scan was done I was placed on best rest for monitoring, was also given steroids to help baby's lungs mature fast just incase it will call for birthing her before time. I was finally certified OK to go home to rest and keep visiting for my routine check.

Since July 19th that I had the accident things never remained the same. Ma Cherie has been very active since I started having the divine feeling of her moving, assuring me she's fine in there. I noticed her activities were gradually slowing down, but at first I said to myself " thats must definitely be as a result of limited space in the uterus since she's growing fast"
It later became a concern as the days went by, I went straight to ANC emergency and complained. The Dr accessed me and discovered my uterus was small for baby's gestational age. I measured 29 weeks at 34. A Doppler scan was requested which I did immediately and the result showed Intra-Uterine growth restriction (IUGR), baby also measured 30 weeks against 34 confirming the Dr's assessment.
From the result there was no issue with placenta so the Dr just told me to keep eating healthy and return for follow up Doppler scan.

Well, I wasn't convinced, As if I knew I needed a change of medical hand Asap, I relocated to my base. The following day I reported to UBTH, registered my preggie, and went straight to the emergency room giving them a brief of my medical history in UCH.
There was no scan or test that was carried out on me in UCH that I didn't snap before the Dr's filed it. So I had good backing to make it easy for myself and the Dr's at UBTH, although I was given a medical brief to UBTH
One of the Drs was so interested in my case as I've read and was quoting terms from the results for them, they knew I understood and knew what I was talking about.
A repeat Doppler scan was requested on the 28th of August and the result showed reduced diastolic flow and cord around baby's neck, I so questioned the sonograher that he got exhausted and just said "madam relax its well" I quickly said Amin with faith but my mind crossed that if I'm not satisfied with the interpretation of the Drs I will go get a 2nd, 3rd, and if possible 4th opinion elsewhere.

Finally I took the result to the emergency room. Seeing the result the resident Dr on duty was thrown off balance. According to her taking a decision was beyond her. That was how she left emergency room with result in her hand walking to and fro looking for a top medical personnel to consult.
Finally she returned and said "Ma'am please relax and call in your husband, hubby actually abandoned work and was with me all day cos I almost brought down the roof the previous night just so it can sink into his head
"baby isn't as active as before and I mean it, I feel it, I know what I'm saying"! But he has always been like "I command negative thoughts to leave your spirit, soul, and body" fine that's cool it's good to always confess positivity but then ACT. Faith without works is dead!

So I called him in and the resident Dr told us" Mr n Mrs I'm afraid it has to be an emergency C section right away!!! The consultant I reached said so" Ah just like that madam!? my hubby exclaimed. He wasn't convinced because she was practicing. He insisted on seeing at least a consultant physically, finally one rushed down and sent me for CTG, result was confirmed it was obvious baby was just struggling to survive. The CTG...

BarrONLS:
Beautiful mummy's, once again I want you all to help me say a big THANK YOU to HARLEYBEE AND ZAYNIE, These 2mummies greatly blessed me and I can't just thank them enough.

Just as you both have blessed barronls baby, blessings and favour will always be found in your homes. May God raise helpers for you always and your cup of oil will not run dry Amen

The CTG chart was quite low, another consultant came in and said the same thing he was even angry that they were wasting time in preparing me for the theater. That was when it dawned on my Lordship that has been casting and binding CS.
Fortunately for me I've been following the pregnancy thread since 2015 and have learnt a whole lot from other women's experience. Just like Jennifer89 would say "the most important thing is mother alive, baby alive, and plenty money to care for the family". The word had so sinked that I cared less whatsoever means of delivery I'll use. All I knew was I strongly believed God will see me through, I asked for prayers here when my faith was trying to betray me.

I actually thought my husband was to signed the consent form so I was waiting for him cos he stepped out to make some calls, one of the Drs screamed Madam please sign! It seems you've not understood what we are saying here! I signed, another Dr withnessed and I was placed on the stretcher after being shaved, and catheter inserted.
The stretcher smelled like meat probably it hasn't been properly cleaned in a while, mehn the stench sent cold shiver down my spine but I kept confessing positive words in supernatural childbirth as I was being wheeled away

The attendants at the reception welcomed me warmly & wished me a successful one.
I layed there steering into space and swallowed in thoughts that I didn't notice the evening sun piercing through the window directly on me. I took a glance at the 3 women that had just had their surgeries lying as if they were lifeless on their beds, gadgets strapped to them, being closely monitored. In all I decided to be calm.
Gradually headache started setting in lol see strong woman, I complained and one of the attendants there told me its anxiety, he told me to help myself by taking deep breaths and relaxing my nerves, she assured me it's no big deal.

I was moved to the main theater, transferred to the s.table and was given the spinal anesthesia, i was made to to sit up, bent my back as if looking at my belly button. The procedure wasn't painful but it was quite uncomfortable. The guy told me to speak up once I feel any pain
The surgeons came in and got to work. I was drapped so I don't see what they were doing.

All the while I was feeling a sensation and never knew my legs were going numb, I no longer felt from my abdomen to my feet, it was as if part of me was gone. I was asked to raise a leg..i tried but for where, they were gone! Just like that

The guy that gave me the spinal A. was quite friendly, he kept me busy chatting, I was just asking him questions, I heard the surgeons shouting push!!! and I was like ah! Push what!? He said not you madam, they are bringing out your baby, I felt the pull but it wasn't painful
The procedure was so swift the next thing was my angel screaming her lungs out, I was wowed as in that was so fast, I didnt feel a thing when I was being cut and the next thing baby is right here with me...Amazing!!! God is great to have given man the knowledge to discover this life saving procedure. But then baby was taken away to be weighed, cleaned and dressed. Actually bringing baby out didn't waste time but stitching back the site did.
It finally ended and I was wheeled away to join the 3 moms I saw earlier.

I was still in amazement on how simple and fast the delivery was when my hubby walked in, he actually wanted to stay with me in the theater but the surgeons refused. He held my hand and kissed me thanking me for the sacrifice and congratulating us it's over. I was like yeah yeah it was cool not as scary as I thought bla bla..this is the best delivery option ever and I'll do it again! I never see Oba wey dey look me with one eye for front lol, I was still very much myself, just the numbness from my belly down and I couldn't move, there was no pain whatsoever, isn't that cool?

The next morning I woke up and was looking for me, unfortunately hubby wasn't there to vent my anger and pain on.
The anesthesia had worn off and I could feel my feet, the pain was outta this world mehn I nor go lie. I was wheeled to the maternity ward with my baby.
That was how I spent the whole of day 1 in excruciating pains just like Benita no where to run,no where to hide...to turn on the bed was World War talk more of sit. It was no child's
play, they had to put baby beside me to breastfeed.
Day 2, I was able to sit up and turn from left to right.
Day 3, I came down from the bed, I took little steps in the morning and by evening was doing hello hi round the bay lol
Day 4 I'm fully up, walking freely in the ward but the nurses told me to take it easy to allow the body heal well
Still feeling mild pains anyway but it's been managed with PCM. The plaster has been removed and was told to dab as frequent as possible with cotton wool and spirit.

Yipiee!!! So today is day 5 and hopefully I'll go home cos I saw "possible discharge" on my case file. They kept me this long cos my blood pressure had been really low, I've been dizzy, and having fever at night.

Glory be to d most High God

So I've experienced vaginal birth and cesarean birth and if I'm to compare I'll say both are fine. In my honest opinion the difference is in CONVENIENCE. The 2 births tamper with a woman's body so what's the big deal.
Firstly, During labour in my first preggie the pain was outta this world the only thing is its a one time pain, you face it squarely and it goes away almost immediately after delivery.
Secondly I ate anything I wished to eat after delivery
Thirdly, I had a warm shower as soon as I got to the maternity ward
Fourthly, I started using my hot tummy belt and snapped back to my figure in no time
Fifthly, my mum was only able to do omugwo for 3 weeks so when she left all work fell back to me again, cooking, chores, baby, et al. I was strong and could lift things here and there. The list is endless

However for this 2nd delivery Firstly, after the anesthesia wore off pain was also quite unbearable for me, (if you read my 1st birth story you will understand) however so far I'm recovering fast. Pains are still there but I'ts being managed with pain relief
Secondly, I couldn't eat what I wanted. According to the Dr my system had been tampered with and need little time to adjust,air had entered my body so they needed to be sure everything is functioning properly before I can eat all I wish for. So it was strictly fluids to start with, followed by soft meals, then Solids. I actually wanted tea, fruits, pepper soup amongst others but that wasn't possible immediately
Thirdly, I have to just clean my body with warm water and napkin to avoid water contact with the site.
Fourthly, I won't use hot belt however I've been assured I'll still snap back to shape in no time.
Lastly, no lifting of objects weightier than my baby till at least 6 months post partum, anyway this won't move me to get a house help, others did it and survived so I will manage myself.

Now if I'm to choose between vaginal birth and cesarean birth I'll choose the first, both were painful to me although I was able to tolerate labour pain better than CS recovery pain.
So I'll choose it because of my pain tolerance and convenience after delivery. I pray a VBAC works for me in my next missionary journey by God's grace.
But if a repeat CS is the best option then I'll gladly go for it. Remember the most important thing is that mom and baby are alive and healthy

Early August I saw that I will deliver via CS. there was this soft voice telling me that it will be the best option out.
It was as if two minds arguing but one was calm and saying prepare ahead spiritually financially and emotionally.
I told dh and he countered it, started blasting in tongues. Please don't get me wrong I believe in the Christian faith strongly but I also ACT. I prayed for God's will to prevail while I prepared my mind ahead for both procedures.
I cannot comman lose my precious gift after pushing for 8 months. Lots of moms had rejected CS option and seeked opinion elsewhere. Vaginal birth was successful for some while for others their babies where already in distress and they lost them. Prayerfully commit every option you choose to God and it will be successful

Honestly if genuine posts on nairaland GTC, PREGNANCY & NEWBORN THREAD are to be converted into a book I tell you it will be a best seller! Although not every information here is 100% true but majorly these are live experiences and people's testimonies but unfortunately it's a faceless forum so anything is possible, good, bad and ugly.
Special shout out to seun for creating this forum though you're making your dough but I'm drawing your attention to the lives these 3 threads have been and is still saving

I pray God visits all the GTC moms soon, you are all fruitful I tell you therefore go forth and multiply. You will all carry your babies.
Come 2019/2020 May your little ones flood the new born thread for threadcuties in Jesus name Amen!!!
All the pushing mama's I wish you the easiest and safest delivery.
Ignore all my typos, filter and get the best out of my BS
I love you all God bless you all.
