Mamas in the house, l greet you all.
New comer to the thread but have been following even as single lady.

Got married December 2019
Did HSG in April
Got pregnant July 2020 with fibroids
Had miscarriage in September 2020( worst experience of my life)
We stopped trying and went for Myomectomy in December 2020. Thank God for speedy recovery even though constipation dealt with me.

We were told to wait till 3 months before trying again so fast forward to April, May, June, nothing. So l changed to another doctor who sent me for another HSG.My tubes came out fine.

He monitored me for July cycle and gave me the HCG trigger shot. We followed with fasting and midnight prayers, hubby is very cooperative too, l bless God for him.

I am happy to announce to you that God has answered our prayers, still like a dream. l got a BFP this week via test strip. I also did blood test yesterday and it was positive too. From my calculation, we are 6 weeks. I will see my doctor on Tuesday to check heart beat and all. Wish me luck wink

Birth Story[center][/center]

Part 1
One of the things I enjoyed reading on this page are the birth stories so I’m here to drop mine. Team July 2020, I apologize for putting this here late, I just gave baby midnight food, might as well type my BS now. So here goes.
PS: I apologize for the long story, make una no vex, I like to talk and I been wan gist una how the thing go grin

I got pregnant when I was least expecting it, but what do you expect lol? My husband and I have been working from home since the pandemic started seriously in February of 2021, so Na the result of all the indiscriminate knacking be this. cheesy cheesy

I wouldn’t lie, I was disappointed cos the plan was to further my career as much as I can and have the third child sometimes in 2023. I didn’t even start seeing my OB until my first trimester was over cos I wasn’t happy that I got pregnant but slowly but surely I began to warm up to the idea.

At 16 weeks I checked gender and lo and behold, it was a girl! Omo times 1 million, I went crazy. I already had two boys, and finally my princess was coming. My elder sister especially went overboard and bought so many things I had to ban her from buying more stuff.

Anyways, pregnancy was textbook. No complications, no trouble no wahala. I was due on the 3rd of July. Our family friends from out of town were supposed to come and celebrate Independence Day (4th of July)with us and their parents and I really wanted to have the baby before my due date so I everybody can see her before the weekend was over. I had a nagging feeling that might not be the case and I won’t go into labor early (despite it being my third child and my OB saying I might go early) because for some reason my body likes to cook my babies till their due date. I had my first child on his due date and I suspect I would have had my second on his due date if I wasn’t induced 3 days before his due date due to cholestasis and low platelets count.

Sha, OB started giving me pelvic exams starting at my 36 week appointment and I was already dilated to 1.5cm then. I was happy thinking I will have the baby soon. But for where, this girl would not budge. Everytime I go to the doctor, I was progressing but no sign of labor was coming other than the severe pelvic pain I’ve had to deal with all third trimester.

My last week of pregnancy, I started getting frustrated and irritated. I was angry, cranky and just helpless. I wanted this girl out but no luck. Then came my due date. I went to bed thinking I will be woken up with labor pains but I woke up feeling the best I’ve ever felt all third trimester. That was when I started crying, lmaooo. My husband was just looking at me and saying “sorry”. Around 2pm that afternoon, I got a burst of energy and started cleaning downstairs like there was some sort of emergency. After I finished I had the urge to take a shower, which I did. I didn’t go back downstairs, I laid on the couch upstairs in the loft and wanted to take a nap. That was around 4pm. That was when I started feeling the pains. I didn’t even pay attention. I mean it wasn’t super painful or anything, it felt like Braxton Hicks. But they were coming very frequently and back to back. I still didn’t believe it. I mean I had been having crazy Braxton Hicks for weeks now with no sign of baby.

My husband decided to take a nap with the boys and when he passed by me on his way, he noticed my face had changed. Hw asked me “what’s up?” And I replied “I don’t know o, but I don’t feel good”. I told him to go take a nap and I will wake him up if it gets worse. One hour later around 5pm, I couldn’t stand it again and my contraction timer said to go to the hospital as well, so I woke my husband. I told him to chill while I packed a backpack for the boys so we can drop them off at the babysitter where my sister will get them later that night or in the morning. He thought I was joking cos I was relatively calm and taking normal. I started looking for my older son’s sandals everywhere with no luck so I told him to take me to the store before we dropped them off so I can get him new sandals. He said okay.

We sha loaded everyone into the car around 5:30pm and off we went. When we pulled out of our street, I saw that he headed the opposite direction to the babysitters house instead of the store to get sandals but I didn’t even talk. I already put him in another pair of shoes anyways, and I didn’t even have the strength to tell him to turn around and go to the store. It was in the car that I started growling small small. Like play, like play, I started shifting in my seat and doubling over. Called my sister to tell her I was dropping the kids off at the sitter and she was asking me if I was feeling labor pains cos she literarily saw me that afternoon before she went to work and I was 100% fine. I told her not to ask me stupid questions and Sha get ready to go and pick the kids that night if I done come home. She got the drift and left me alone.

Part 3

We made it to the hospital round 5:50 and I got down to enter the lobby while my husband went to look for parking. I was in the lobby getting my temperature checked and waiting for him, the security man was making small talk with me but I Sha wasn’t feeling well enough. I was struggling to answer. Once my husband showed up, I practically ran to the elevators. When we got the Labor and delivery door, I buzzed the intercom and told them to let me in. The nurse that answered had the audacity to be asking me if I was in labor. I nearly cussed her. I snapped at her and she quickly opened it.

The put me in a triage room, this was around 6pm. Strapped me with baby heartbeat monitors and she did a quick vaginal exam. She told me I was 5cm dilated. I was happy because I knew they would admit me and the on call doctor said the same thing. So they decided to transfer me to a delivery room. At that point my husband and I were still gisting o. Talking about Buhari and Nigerian politics. The nurse asked me if I wanted to walk or use the wheelchair, I said wheelchair cos the thing don dey pinch me small small. Immediately I got to the new room, I told her to please inform the anesthesiologist that I needed an epidural cos I didn’t wanna wait too long and they will now say it’s too late to get one or that he/she was in surgery (that happened with my first child). She said “okay” but they have to get my blood drawn first to check my platelets before they can get me an epidural. I said okay, get the lab people here. The lab lady came around 6:30 (I knew cos that was the time she wrote on the lab bracelet on my wrist) drew my blood. I asked her how long the test was gonna take and she answered “between 20 and 30 minutes). The nurse offered me IV fentanyl before I could get my epidural and I obliged.

That was when show started. Immediately the lab lady left, the pain went mad. I started gripping the bed and growling. I couldn’t gist with my husband again. I was still trying to suppress the pain. But when correct one hit me, I cried out loud! That was the beginning of it. I couldn’t control myself again I was crying out loud with every pain and this time it was back to back. Like less than 45 seconds break. The next time it hit me, I let out a blood curdling scream out of nowhere, even me sef shock! I didn’t know where that came from. There were two nurses in there with me and the one that admitted me said “I need to check her cos she might be ready to go if she’s in this amount of pain”. Lo and behold I was already 10cm and ready to birth. She yelled for the other nurse to go get the doctor and finish setting up the items for delivery. All these while, my husband was in a state of shock. He literally stood by my bed with a WTF expression on his face cos he’s never seen this kind of 0-100 labor before. How do you go from laughing and goofing around minutes ago to screaming like a banshee? grin

I no gree o. I told them to bring epidural cos no way in hell was I having this baby naturally. They said it was too late, I had to. How can it be too late when I was literally 5cm 30mins ago? Okay, give me the IV fentanyl you promised me minutes ago, she said it was too late as well. If they gave me now, baby will also get it and will come out doped up! Ha, temi bami. I sha started crying o. Sharp sharp, my bed transformed, stirrups came up and my legs were lifted. I felt the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my existence. It was exactly like the ring of fire they always described. At this point I didn’t even care again I just was letting the screams out louddddd. God bless my new nurse cos shift change was happening at that point, she came and held my hand and told me to conserve my energy and not scream. When the next contraction hits, to hold my legs and push like my life depended on it. I tried Sha. I pushed the first time, the second and the third and baby girl took her first breath in this world at 7:05pm. About an hour after I got to labor and delivery. It was magical and surreal.

She had ABO incompatibility induced jaundice like her brothers (I was already expecting that, when she got blood typed and it was a different type from mine) so she stayed in the NICU for one week undergoing phototherapy. Here was the shortest stay of my three kids and I chalk that up to my husband being proactive and making sure she got blood typed immediately after birth and my recovery nurse who happened to be Nigerian and advocated for the baby to be moved to the NICU immediately we found out her bilirubin level was very high when she was 12 hours old. Anyways, Na so the thing go o. Boots hung. Prayers for safe delivery for all pregnant moms and May all the women TTCing receive their goodness sooner than later. Over and out!

Lo and behold I was already 10cm and ready to birth. I no gree o.

I told them to bring epidural cos no way in hell was I having this baby naturally. They said it was too late, I had too. How can it be too late when I was literally 5cm 30mins ago. Okay, give me IV fentanyl that you promised me minutes ago, she said it was too late as well, if they gave me now, baby will also get it and will come out doped up! Ha, temi bami. I sha started crying o. Sharp sharp, my bed transformed, stirrups came up and my legs were lifted. I felt the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my existence. It was exactly like the ring of fire they always described. At this point I didn’t even care again I just was letting the screams out louddddd. God bless my new nurse cos shift change was happening at that point, she came and held my hand and told me to conserve my energy and not scream. When the next contraction hits, to hold my legs and push like my life depended on it. I tried Sha. I pushed the first time, the second and the third and baby girl took her first breath in this world at 7:05pm. About an hour after I got to labor and delivery. It was magical and surreal.

She had ABO incompatibility induced jaundice like her brothers (I was already expecting that) so she stayed in the NICU for one week undergoing phototherapy. Here was the shortest stay of my three kids and I chalk that up to my husband being proactive and making sure she got blood typed immediately after birth and my recovery nurse who happened to be Nigerian and advocated for the baby to be moved to the NICU immediately we found out her bilirubin level was very high when she was 12 hours old. Anyways, Na so the thing go o. Boots hung. Prayers for sage delivery for all pregnant moms and May all the women TTCing receive their goodness sooner than later. Over and out!

congratulations ma
