Birth story ..lemme type sharply before I become too busy with visitors
EDD is today..had laI t minute shopping to do yesterday as I'd already had it in mind that I'll take pineapple a day to EDD ..not that I had much faith in it..wanted to give it a trial though..but I'd been very consistent with taking my white zobo leaf..
So yesterday I went to the market..walked round the whole of wuse, H-medix et al..kept telling my self there's no way I'm going for walks with the way I've been walking about

On my way home stopped by to meet one of the best people I've come across .in life..missmalachi ..she did me a great favour and can't thank her enough ..even played with Sophie tiwatope..I must say she is a damsel..picture doesnt do her justice at all..hosted with her mum..very nice woman ..then we headed home
Got home around 7pm..landlord who is my neighbour was having an end of the year party..boy was i excited..party brought to my doorstep..ate rice and eersoup to my fill..took my slice of pineapple which I got at the market and then went to bed..
At 3am..started feeling funny..assumed its as a result of the sugary things I took..then it became more serious..told my self if I throw up I'll be fine..for where
.didn't..performed ablution and prayed..then I kept going to the loo..went about 3 times..at 6am..I convinced myself this is false labour..cos I expected to see show or water breaking..that was when I posted here for advice..part of me was thinking of allowing hubby to go to work since no show..but I took a chance..had my bath around 8am..packed my remaining stuffs..cleaned my house..all the while contractions were like 5mins apart..kept lying down when the contraction hits..all the way i kept praying..that im not sent back from the hoapital for having false labour..got there 8:50am..thank God no ve was done..doc and nurse were just timing d contraction by placing their hand on my tummy..they were wondering why it was so intense..all the while I felt like pooing but refused to talk..when I finally told them they were shocked..was asked to pee first..while peeing i threw up..then ve was done..mehn! That thing hurts as hell..that's when they broke the water and realised I was already 9cm..was asked to push when I felt the urge to poo..I felt the urge to poo like all through but no energy..I kept trying and trying..baby's head was close but my pushes weren't strong enuf..dunno how many times I pushed..I pooed a lil in the process ..finally I pushed and baby came out at 10:06 am..I cried when he was given to me to place on my chest..felt so surreal..end of BS..sorry for the long gist and typos..

***Modified***
Doc asked if I was Fulani.. ..cos sometimes I was laffing as hubby was cracking jokes..I didn't shed a single tear..didn't scream..can't believe that was me..but I thank God for it all..cant thank Him enuf..I never hexperrerit

Sweet mother , a nor go forget u oo, for this suffer wey u suffer me oo, oo yei yei.. * singing in froggy voice*

Lol@ the song. Na so o. I used to think the singer was referring to pregnancy and delivery suffer not knowing that after suffer, na suffer remain. But we thank God it's a "joyful" suffer.

Sabi Mamas Plz Advise Me ;

My boy doesn't sleep like I expected. Out of 24hrs, he sleeps for approximately 7-8hrs. Is this normal??

He eats well so I expect he sleeps well too. Its becoming stressful for me and not like when he's awake he keeps calm and play(his plays are short so I don't count them jare) rather he would cry to be carried. He is 8weeks.

What Can I Do??

My lady, do you want to start playing hide and seek game with your LO now or ludo? Why are you in haste. Relax jooor! .

Don't expect him to start playing with you now. I asked this same question then and I was told all they do now is eat, cry, sleep.
Before you know what I happening, thing will change. I understand it's stressful but remember, it doesn't last forever.

Enjoy this phase while it last because you are definitely gonna miss it.

As for d sleeping long i discovered my baby sleeps well n longer wen placed on her tummy.

You garrit....He likes physical contact a lot. I back him most times to do my chores, the wahala is when I want bath or use d rest room.

Am just worried coz when I start my biz & school by January, I hope he would have calm down.

As for the swing, Dad promised us one o!

I guess all babies lik contact but it depends on d attention u gv.wen i had my little one newly,she ws lik dat n wen ever i wnt to pick her mum will say i shld leave her dat little children get use to crying once they knw u wil pick her up.so wen she wnt to cry we just play wit her without carrying her n now she is use to it.

@ hafsat24, congrats to u....who will believe seeing u yday dat u will put to bed? Actually ur dh joking said it sha.
Congrats to u and takia of my godson

Hmmmm.....I think I like that technique.


Hope there's nothing like over crying sha.?

@ HASFAT 22 ,congratulations. God is faithful

I used same technique too and it worked for me. But don't leave him like that every time sha o. Sometimes your baby might be crying for something else aside just wanting attention.

All the best dearie.
