Ngwanu, grab ya popcorn and juice, and enjoy the jolly ride. I will try to summarize cos story plenty. I hope it will be a worthy read. PRE-PREGNANCY My marriage was at the verge of being over because I had had enough of its wahala, coupled with a man who things were not going well with, and then, who was steady pouring his frustrations on me. Hubby and I didn't use to talk to each other sef, let alone play mommy and daddy. I had secretly planned my relocation to Abuja to get my sanity and move on. Before then, I was on contraceptive pills since August 2013 after I had my daughter, and it worked perfectly well for me, until October last year. Things were so bad financially for us and for me that I could not afford to buy my pills. How much? #150! Yes! It was that bad. I got tired of begging people for money to get by so I locked up, afterall, I wasn't having sex with anyone. Fast forward to early January this year, a friend who had been talking to me asked me to approach hubby and give him sex, and that from there, we could talk things out. He never supported me leaving my marriage. I had just finished my period and felt I wasn't fertile so I have nothing to lose. I approached hubby at night where he usually slept cos we weren't sleeping in the same room anymore. I seduced him and voila! it happened. Guy didn't even withdraw. I wasn't perturbed too since I had been on pills for almost 7 years. I thought belle no fit enter just like that na. DISCOVERING PREGNANCY So, I wondered why my period was unusually scanty in January. Imagine, I had forgotten about the sex. I was preparing for my relocation to Abuja, buying a few things and all when it dawned on me that my last period only came for one day. I explained to a pharmacist where I was buying deworming drug for my kids and she asked me to get a test strip and test for pregnancy. I laughed and declined. After buying the drug, she didn't have #50 change, so I asked for the test strip na. Saturday 1st February, 2020, I wanted to pee and remembered the strip. I did the test with confidence that the pharmacist didn't know what she was saying. Lo and behold, two bold lines were looking at me. I was confused. I went to buy another strip o. Did the test again, and the two bold lines showed up again. A mixture of emotions went all through my body. I walked up to hubby who was sleeping on the couch (Someone I hadn't talked to in months). I showed him the strip, he too was confused. He didn't say a word. That night, he moved back into our bedroom. I cried cos I felt this pregnancy is going to destroy my secret plans and preparations, and I couldn't bring myself to abort it. I kept doubting until I went for a scan and they told me that I was pregnant cos they could see a fetal pole. EARLY PREGNANCY Hubby mysteriously and miraculously accepted the pregnancy. He pampered me like no tomorrow. I had terrible morning sickness. He would make tea and bring to my bed. He'll boil water and keep in the bath tub for me to bath, make ice cubes for me to chew on while at work. Oh, my husbandman did everything. I was just a vegetable. This was same person who had been my live-in enemy for months. That was how I was able to manage the first few weeks until covid19 wahala and we were all at home. I wasn't working, hubby hadn't been working since 2018. No way to feed or buy baby things. Pregnancy after 7 years. I had nothing. We had nothing. Then hubby started drama. He who had told his mom of my pregnancy out of excitement at the early stage when she came visiting started telling his family members that he is not sure he is responsible for the pregnancy. It was his brothers' wives who started calling me to ask what happened. He refused to give me a dime to get the hospital requirements and baby things. I had to beg my mom to feed. After sometime when people were allowed to move, I'd pack a few clothes and my kids and go to my mom's place to stay so we could eat. It was that bad. In June/July, same DH told his family and mine that he wanted a divorce. They called for a family meeting. No one supported him, not even his family. Everyone of them was trying to do whatever they could to make me happy. One would send me money, the photographer did me a free photoshoot, everyone would frequently call just to make me happy. After everything was resolved, he admitted that it was frustrations that got the better part of him. Amazingly, in all these, I was not perturbed one bit. Till things got back right again and I decided to enjoy my pregnancy. LATE PREGNANCY So schools were asked to resume but because of how advanced my pregnancy was, coupled with the bad roads and outstanding debt of school fees for my kids, I couldn't resume. My kids couldn't go to school too. We just stayed at home waiting for this baby to come and let me have my life back. It seemed like forever. No sign of labour or approaching labour. All along, it had been a perfect pregnancy, but by week 38 or thereabout, my BP started rising like dough with yeast. At every antenatal check up, I was given nifedipine under my tongue and I was told it can be managed and not too serious. My feet was swollen and heavy at week 40. I was given an injection and told I would drain the fluid through urine. It happened like that, but a week after, the swollen feet returned much more than what it was before sef, and very painful. I just felt it was the end of pregnancy so I wasn't bothered. I never knew I had eclampsia. Never experienced it in previous pregnancies, never knew anyone who had it too. I just wanted labour to come. LABOUR/DELIVERY My EDDs had passed, no sign. If I hear that someone had put to bed, I'll feel bad that mine hadn't come. Until I begged hubby for sex. After he managed to do, the next morning, I saw my show. I was excited. By Sunday 18th, I started having contractions. I went to the clinic and after vaginal examination, I was just 4cm and asked to go back home till contractions were stronger. All through that night, the contractions were hellish. I was using a contractions timer app until it got to an average of 15 minutes by Monday morning. I had my bath and left for the clinic. Though I can't remember how I got to the hospital that Monday morning, I only remember I was checked by the matron and told I was 6cm. That's all I remember. My mom and husband told me they came to meet me on my bed in the ward, and I told my mom I couldn't see anything again. Before she could say sorry, I started convulsing. She said I started foaming in the mouth and stretching. She screamed and called the matron. The matron put spoon in my mouth, beat me and all, just to stabilize me. They managed to stabilize me a bit and put me in the matron's car to take me to another hospital where they can handle my case. On the way, while in the car, my water broke and the head of the baby was showing. I started convulsing again. They beat nonsense out of me to stabilize me, yet no way. I was still stretching. My husband's hands were in my mouth, I was bleeding from the mouth, he was bleeding from his hands because I had clenched them with my teeth and stretching. On getting to the hospital they were taking me to, over 10 people rushed to hold me as they said they screamed Emergency o. I was rushed to the delivery room. They tried to stabilize me as the convulsion started again. They finally did and when they checked, my BP had shot up to 202/100. They said the baby is not big but because of the high BP, if I push the baby, it will be 50/50 or I run mad or maybe paralysed. They fixed oxygen. The first tank finished. They fixed the second one, then brought the BP down a bit. Then, the doctor told my husband it is a 50/50 chance, he should sign the consent form and choose who they should save. He said he shouted and said God forbid. He wants both his wife and his baby. He said he kept telling me in my ears to remember my other two children, my mother and him. He was speaking in tongues like no tomorrow. He called his mom, my pastor, everyone. When the doctor to perform the surgery came, he asked both my mom and hubby out of the delivery room. They couldn't even take me to the theatre. The doctor faced the wall, knelt down, prayed, sent them out and did the caesarean. When he brought out the baby, she cried a bit, stopped and turned green. They abandoned me and fixed oxygen on the baby. They stabilized her, then faced me. The operation was done around past 9am, I regained a little consciousness and opened my eyes by 9.35pm. I didn't know where I was. I woke up and was telling my husband that the baby in my womb is not allowing me to be comfortable and that I want to turn to my side because I was sleeping on my back, he was laughing at me. With the way he was looking at me, I then asked him if I have given birth, he said yes. I didn't believe. I said it was a lie. He bought the baby to me, I still didn't know where I was. I regained full consciousness on Thursday morning. Me that gave birth since Monday morning. My recovery was fast and still in progress, and we were discharged on the following Friday. God did a great thing and indeed we are glad. I am happy to have my baby in my hands. Daddy is glad. Big brother and sister are elated, and my mom can't stop singing and dancing for joy. BS Submitted as I sign out of the month of October, extremely grateful to God for how far He has brought us. Indeed, it was a journey! Boots officially thrown into the lagoon[/quote] |
