BS! BS! BS! A little journey down to 2020 We got married in 2020. We had our plans on childbirth. We wanted to wait for 3 months before starting a family. After those 3 months, we started trying and nothing was forth coming. It was a loonnnnngggggg journey! Different hospital visits and appointments. Different tests, scans, etc. The overall outcome remains - nothing was wrong with both of us. I was placed on different types of drugs - the side effects of those drugs were crazzzzyyyy. I was gifted a book by my wonderful colleague (former) - Supernatural Childbirth. I read the book, digested it, made the confessions therein almost everyday. One of the longest periods of a woman's life is waiting for the next cycle to see if she'll at least miss her period. The wait is always LONG! Each time my period came, was always an emotional time for myself and hubby but along the line, my faith in God was built and I wiped my tears and told the devil ENOUGH! I'll not cry again! That was it! Was it easy? NOOOOOOO! Not when people who got married after you are pregnant, giving birth left, right and center and the people are asking all manner of questions. In all these, I had people who were genuinely praying for us and encouraging us - the "bestest" gift! 2021 - nothing! Not even a missed or delayed period! 2022 - same story! Early 2023, I got a new job with better pay and work experience, so, I made up my mind to focus on the new job, I made up my mind to be more committed in the house of God and other plans to achieve. Early February, I saw what I thought was blood stain so I went to get pad. The following day, nothing came, meanwhile, I was already feeling the normal PMS so, I thought to myself maybe the delay is due to stress from my new job. Waited for 2 more days and nothing! I bought PT strip, did the test and saw one thick line and a small faint line - I did not know what to feel! Repeated it the following day - same thing! I did not tell my husband all along. I snapped it and sent to my sister. She started rejoicing but I was skeptical. I did not want my hopes to be raised unnecessarily. 2 days later, did blood test and Valentine's Day celebration was close, I wanted to make it as a surprise announcement to my husband but. . . I could not wait  Told my husband that same night. It was emotional! We prayed, thanked the Lord and committed the journey of 9 months into his hands! Indeed, God is faithful! Was the journey smooth? Not really but grace for the whole 9 months was supplied. I enjoined divine strength that sometimes I would have forgotten I'm carrying a child not until I feel tired, I'll have to remind myself to slow down. 1st trimester was a bit bumpy - nausea, tiredness, etc 2nd trimester was the easiest - I just dey fine, dey glow any how. 3rd trimeter - I was always tired but I enjoyed God's strength! Labor and childbirth Contractions started on the 12th of October - on and off. Went to work came back. Same thing on the 13th. I came back from work, entered the market to buy stuff, made egusi soup we had dinner. By few minutes past ten, the contractions were getting stronger by the minutes, I was thinking, I could manage it but hubby said we should head to the hospital. Got there few minutes past 11pm, I was checked and I was just 2 cm. But the pains were not funny. I was there and from time to time, a nurse will come and check how far. It got to 6cm and then 8cm and then, my water was broken. By 10am in the morning I was taken into the delivery room. I was told what to do but my brain was not processing anything because I was already tired and weak! Time to push, I kept trying to push but it seems my strength was failing me - God bless the midwives! They were encouraging! THey kept praying for me! My husband! Oh! God gave me the best of his sons! He was there all through - praying and encouraging me on! I don't know what I'll do without this great man! After sometime of pushing, our princess arrived on the 14th of October at 12:56pm weighing 3.6kg. In all, my heart is filled with gratitude to God for this wonderful gift. Looking at her face as I type this morning, all I can say is God's word will always come to pass no matter what. She is a fulfilment of God's word for my husband and I. I pray for those TTC, you'll carry your babies soonest! All pregnant mommas, you'll deliver safely, without unnecessary stress. I see you all #teamoctober 45 Likes 1 Share |

I totally agree with you. I served in a Federal Government College and with what I noticed there. . . hmmmm We still have a long way to go A girl carried pregnancy for 9 months, gave birth by herself in the hostel toilet at night, killed the baby and threw her body towards the fence of the corps members lodge so they'll think it's the corps members She was later discovered because of secretions from her. Guess what? She was suspended but that was the end of the issue. A lot of atrocities going on these days in our secondary schools and it breaks my heart because of the future generation. This is your experience as a student. I think that was then when it was very functional. My experience as a staff? They will not be punished inasmuch as the matter dies in the school. They'll be forgiven and expected to repent...since you don't flog them and the principal has the final say. Wetin you dey yarn me? Now, girls would have bribed the cab man. Or the cab man would have demanded a share...in kind or money. Those girls are rotten. School wey principal dey advise make you collect your own now you dey here? School wey principal dey stupidly sleep with girls his granddaughter’s age? School wey abortion pills are plentier than sand? School wey teachers dey die mysteriously sometimes? School wey teens dey willingly write you letters or visit you feigning to assist you with chores while dressing provocatively? Oya discipline them and be counted as a white fowl. It's just disgusting some pedophiles as teachers actually see it as an opportunity to take advantage of these girls puberty is playing on. I thank God for the minority few—students and teachers—who have refused to indulge and stood firm. I just pray peer pressure and mistreatment from perverted teachers don't make them give in. I don't normally blame the kids since they are misguided. Na the bastards patronising them! Forget, you can't understand. Na only snake know wetin en swallow wey e no gree move.[/quote] |
