Part 2 hehehhe grin grin

I woke up feeling mild cramps at 12:51 am on Saturday.

I tried to time the contractions but I didn't understand the difference between them and when to go to the hospital. No mucus plug and my water didn't break. I didn't want to go and be sent back home. I woke my husband and told him it may or may not be time. I tried to use the toilet but it was like my rectum was blocked.

The cramps was around my waistline and bu*tt. I went to the sitting room and asked my daughter's nanny to heat up water for me. I had my bath and my husband got ready. Now the big question was, to go or not to go to the hospital? I checked Google and realized you have to go if the contractions are five minutes apart. I showed my husband the ones I timed and he said it was 1-3 minutes apart. The pain was mild and we just kept looking at each other. grin

I said I can endure until 2 am but after a while, I decided to come to Nairaland for help. I was searching for a birth story that involved contractions and remembered mama MercyMercy and I told my husband see oo, we can wait until Saturday evening cheesy cheesy

Then I became nauseous and went to throw up in the bathroom and my husband said, it's the nausea that's making me uncomfortable grin

We went back to staring at each other and after a while, I said, let's go and let them check me. My husband grabbed a small baby cot because the hospital doesn't have one and I was like, we are just going to check my bp, urine and cervix nau. He said let's go with it. When we got to the main gate of our street, my husband was shouting at the security to open the gate that I was in labor and I was just looking because the cramps had ceased and I didn't want to tell him it was false alarm cheesy

Once he started driving again, cramps resumed and I said, thank God oooo! When we got to the estate that leads to the hospital, the small gate was open but big gate was closed and no security in sight. It was same thing that happened with my last baby.

We parked outside the estate and I grabbed my purse containing my urine sample container and hospital card. Half way down the road, I told my husband, grab the hospital bags in case they want to keep me overnight.

He ran back to get them and we walked to the hospital and knocked for the security to wake up and let us in. There was no light, every where was dark and my husband started fuming. I don't know why I prefer this hospital to the Behind ones around me maybe it was because it was the same hospital I used during my ttc journey. When we got there, we went upstairs and I told a nurse I had bad stomach pains. She brought my card and took me to the doctor. The doctor said, what's the problem and I said I had stomach pains. He asked when I was due and I said it's supposed to be today according to LMP. Then I told him I wanted to use the toilet and was suddenly pressed to go.

He asked that I should be taken to the labor room and I tried to use the toilet but the pains had increased. The doctor checked me and I prayed in my head that I should be at least 5cm gone but he said, I was 9cm dilated and asked if my water had broken. He wore gloves, inserted his fingers in my cervix and brought out a thin layer of mucus and then I felt a sticky water gush down my leg. He left and I asked the nurse, what next?

She said, we go wait and I said for who? And she said for baby to come. I asked her, what should I do? Should I walk around?

They didn't try to shave me or do an enema like the last time. The other nurses were just checking my bags and complaining. I told them I deliberately left some items out because I wanted to buy from the hospital. All they were concerned about was money, and I was getting pissed.

One nurse came and rudely asked why I didn't buy jik and I told her, they should sell to me because it was my intention to buy from them and then she said, no tissues? I said sell to me, I forgot to put them in the bag. I tried to walk but pain was unbearable. I tried to use the toilet and none of them followed me. I was afraid of having the baby in the toilet and I went back to the labor room. I climbed the bed and one nice nurse said, when you feel the pain again, push. I tried to get up and told her I wanted to use the toilet but she said push, it's time. I told her it was toilet I need and at that same time
.
.
TMI

Two giant ones came out and that nurse complaining slapped my arms twice and I asked her why. She said I didn't bring tissues. I let it go. They put a new underlay and suddenly I felt the need to go again. I didn't even wait, started to try to go and was screaming as the pain trippled.

The nurses were screaming too, wait, na baby, you go tear ooo. I felt a sudden pull through my VJ and baby came out. One nurse grabbed the baby and I raised my head and said, thank you Jesus!

That wicked nurse came again and wiped me something on my face and said lay back. I shouted on her and she said if I have complications I would blame them. She's not the one handling the delivery o, she was handing out items. The nurse handling the birth looked at me and realized she knew me. When they realized I wasn't a teenager, she thought I was, me and my small body

She came over and started acting nice. I made up my mind to report her to the MD because she was a joy killer. The nurse handling the birth started explaining that her colleague was afraid the placenta would go back in when I lifted my head. I said, no problem. They said you have a boy and I said okay. They started cleaning up baby and it took them forever to put diaper on him.

They checked the time and baby was born 2:16, weighing 3.4kg. They checked for tears and thank God, there was none. I was glad God came through for me. The nurse scooped out blood clot, dipped a pad in me to soak out more blood and then put one more pad in and asked me to leave it for a while unless I was pressed. She cleaned me up and they were all trying so hard to be nice. They gave me a wrapper from my bag to tie, cleaned me up and helped me into the ward which had three people. We requested for a private ward and they said it was filled up. We brought in our own baby cot and baby started crying for food. I asked if I could breastfeed him and the nurse said yes. After a while, a nurse rushed back in and said, are you not aware of your status?
Fear catch me undecided

I said, which status? And she said you are A negative.

I told her I knew and we were getting the injection at daylight. She said I wasn't supposed to breastfeed the baby and I told her this is my second baby, I breastfed my first baby after birth. She said I should wait until I took the injection. When she left, we checked Google and confirmed we could breastfeed. I put baby to breast and my foodie son sucked and sucked even though there was no milk. He slept off and I came online to update my teamies. I rested a bit and the hunt for Rhogram injection started.

We are going to the hospital today for me to take it. I didn't report the nurse because she came over, didn't apologize but rubbed my legs and asked if I was okay. She's probably feeling like she's old enough to birth me as per African reasoning and I decided not let her cloud my joy. I let it go.

By 10 am, we paid the bills and left with our sonshine and grandma, aunties, cousins and baby's big sister who came to see us.

P. s now I understand why mamas don't have the time to drop birth stories, e no easy especially with toddlers. Despite the many hands, my daughter suddenly became clingy, asking me to carry her, somebody that loves clinging to her dad or grandma when she is around.

I woke up to pee this morning , realized everyone was asleep and my mind told me, it's now or never oooo. grin

Glory be to God for his mercies, may his mercy go around and may other mamas have a speedy delivery like mine, 20 minutes.

I pray for healthy babies and quick recovery for moms and plenty blessings for the entire families. I was once called a barren woman but today, I am a mom of two within two years. May God who answered me answer my sisters believing for a child and bless them with multiple babies.


My teamies yet to have their babies and November mamas wishing to port, it shall be easy for you and you shall soon come to testify like me.

I don hang boot, would have loved one more cute princess and call her Oliviacheesy
Congratulations Dear.
Olivia is my only daughters name

Team October mamas, how are you all doing? I have seen posts from a few of you, MercyMercy, Tgirltemmy (sorry about the back pain. Massage and gentle stretches will help)
Other mamas, how are you? As for me, I am dealing with constant backache, feeling sleepy all the time and an insane hunger yet no apetite. The scan I did two weeks ago showed baby is in breeched position (praying he gets into the right position before our time is near)

Please what is blighted ovum? It is almost 6 weeks and I was told I have only blighted ovum without fetal pole. I have been told to wait for more 2 weeks and if its still thesame then I should go for evacuation. This is my first pregnancy sad
Has anyone ever had blighted ovum and later have a real pregnancy?
I had it in May last year, and I'm few weeks pregnant again. Just rescan in two weeks, hopefully yours will be visible and viable then.

MamaOO:
Part 4

The guy understood me and told me he will try and avoid that situation this time around. But he poked around my back so much that I cried like a baby. Eventually he was able to get the epidural in and I felt some relief. He then gave me a pump and told me to make sure to pump it and give myself another boost once the effects start wearing out. This was around 9pm. I then requested for my nurse to get the on-call OB so he can break my water. That was the beginning of my frustration. They said he was in 2 back to back C-Section and he will show up after he’s done with them. He never showed up until 4:30am Maybe he was hiding from me, who knew. I was so pissed and between 9-4:30am, I only dilated another .5cm. That meant I dilated 1.5cm in 16 hours. I started panicking and thinking I will have to need an emergency c-Section. Eventually the doctor showed up and gave broke my water around 4:45. After he broke the water, the nurse said she will check me in 2 hours cos they don’t want to run the risk of checking too frequently and introducing bacteria into my cervix. Lo and behold, I went from a 5.5cm to 8cm in 2 hours! I was soo happy! She said she was gonna step outside and inform the OB and get the team ready for me. In 15 minutes before she had the chance to come back, I started feeling intense pressure in my vagina, butt, back and lower extremities. It was agony! I woke up by husband and my family friend who were with me in the room and informed them that my body was wanting to push. They thought I was joking but we Sha paged the nurse to come and check the me again and I was indeed completely dilated to a 10 in 15 minutes and ready to have this baby! The doctor ran into the room and they pushed my bed up and everywhere became s beehive of activities.

Side note, because of my earlier traumatic birth experience in 2016, I had been researching ways to make labor easier this time around and the generally accepted consensus to drink red raspberry leaf tea, eat dates and eat pineapples. I got the red raspberry leaf tea on amazon and started drinking it at 31 weeks. I also got the capsules on amazon and I will drink one cup/teabag of the tea in the morning, take 3 capsules of the red raspberry leaf tea in the afternoon and another 3 at night. I continued like that until I got induced at 39 weeks. I also ate 6 giant medjool dates everyday starting at 33weeks. Research said I needed 71g at least everyday for it to have any effect. Those things I did with diligence because I was afraid of a repeat of my first experience.

I’d like to think that my trifecta worked and God also decided to be merciful to me because my epidural worked perfectly and I was able to feel exactly where and when to push. I started pushing at 7:15am and as the first contraction hit, I pushed through that and the head slipped out, second contraction hit and his whole body slipped out! He was born 7:19am and were so in love. The attending OB presser my belly and Placenta came out immediately after. No pains and I just felt it slip out of me. Best of all, I didn’t even tear or bruise and the baby was 8.9lbs! Alhamdulilah, for all His Mercies.
So it was my superstitious self that decided not to jinx myself and report for roll call or announce the pregnancy o. My teammates make una no vex.
Congrats my Sep 2016 teamie! Wonderful birthstory. Welcome baby kiss kiss
