Birth Story

First of all, I want to really appreciate all the mamas here and on ATC thread for your congrats, support, likes, calls. Thank you all. We will always have cause to rejoice. My able Captain thank you.

Sorry I have been offline.
My baby girl came at exactly 36weeks through vaginal birth. It was a short, fulfilling experience.

I had been experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions since like 6months in pregnancy. I wasn't worried. At the beginning of 36weeks or thereabout ,the contractions started coming with menstrual like aches. I quickly arranged to complete the packing of few remaining items for my hospital box as I didn't want to be caught unawares.

I went to market and added my last few remaining items to my box. That night, I started experiencing what I knew where the real contractions. It came with serious pain. I tried to be breathing in and out through them so as to conserve my energy for delivery like we had been taught here and in antenatal. It worked. I could control myself and manage the contractions better by not shouting. I was writhing, groaning and opening/closing mouth Upandan. Next day, being a Sunday... I prepared to go to church. My husband asked if I will be able to. I said let me try. That most times, the contractions respect themselves when I'm in church based on my Braxton Hicks experience.

When I was returning from church, na then e hook me again. I just managed to get to my home. Another dimension of labour started towards evening. It was coming more frequently. Like 10-15 mins. 8-5 mins. Irregularly but frequently and more intense.
My husband and I didn't want to get to the hospital and be sent home that we were still 2/4cm dilated. So we stayed on contemplating whether to go in the morning of the next day or to go later that night.

At a point, we decided to just go and check how dilated I was cos the labour had increased in every way. Couldn't take two spoons of food without being interrupted by intense painful contractions.

Brethren, we got to the hospital around 8.45pm. They checked me in the delivery room and the doctor said I was 8cm dilated and he could see or was it feel baby's head! Nobody was more surprised than me!

They asked if I brought my hospital bag. I said yes oo. They said if I had delayed longer I would have given birth at home or in the car.
That was how they started preparing for delivery. I didn't get up again after checking. The nurse was setting my drip when I felt baby's head coming. I told her o. So she started trying to deliver baby and complete setting up my drip line.

I pushed the first time. Then she said she would give me a cut on the second push to make more room for baby's head. I was given a cut and I pushed and shouted/screamed to bring forth my child 45mins after getting to the hospital. We never knew we had done most of the labouring at home but we were glad we did. God made it fast, easy and He took all the glory.

I was stitched with local anesthetic and that was it. Thank you for your time, mamas.
To my teamies that have birthed, I say big congrats! To those who will still drop, I say safe delivery. To my dear ATC mums, I say the God who did it for us is still in the business of doing good. He will come through for you and you will carry your babies sooner rather than later.

Good Morning
My Princess is Here . Praise be to God

congratulations ma

ProfAmah:
Wish you same. Moisturise the stretching abdominal skin by applying any of the following: olive oil, Shea butter(ori) or any good moisturizing cream often. Avoid the temptation of scratching. Instead gently rub the itchy area with your palm. Doing all this regularly, will save you from ugly stretch marks.

i will do just that, thanks ma

olabrinks:
Rub oils and cream on it. The itching is normally a sign that your skin is stretching, which may lead to stretch marks. So just stay moisturised and drink water.

thank you so much ma

Happy Sunday belly-full mamas. My stomach is seriously itching me. What's the solution?

How are we all? We are almost there. Counting down, just 2months left. God has made it easy for us.
If you can pack your baby's bag now, beautiful, cos you will be amazed at how tired you'd get when you decide to wait till around that time. Don't be the mommy that will be rushing to pack amidst labour pain, my mom is a culprit of that .
Omariopat, how are you teamie? Please pop in OK.
I saw a hot water flask in the market "mega", heard its super dope.
Don't forget to pray, pray, pray. Even all the medical instruments that will be used on you, pray for them.

pls add me, edd feb 24

BS BS!

I had my baby on the 24th of November 2019. I was scheduled for induction at 41 weeks if my baby didn’t come before then. I didn’t want to be induced because I learned that the pain is worse with induction and I’m such a wuss when it comes to pain. I tried everything to naturally induce, pineapple, long walks, activating labor exercises but nothing worked. I didn’t have the slightest pain, even throughout my pregnancy, I didn’t have braxon kicks or false labor just back pain when i sit so low. From 40weeks , I was checking in at the hospital every two days to monitor the baby and have my cervix checked and at 41 weeks, I was admitted to be induced. I was already dreading the pain and prayed to God not give me any pain I can’t bear. The induction tablet was inserted in my vagina and was expected to kickstart labor, I was tensed especially seeing other women in labour crying and screaming. I asked my friend that shey this is how I will be screaming too when the thing starts and the hospital said no epidural, I was like “my own have meet me today “.
Surprisingly, labor didn’t start, my friend had gone through the same process to have her baby so I asked her when she went into labor after insertion, she said it took a while that when the thing will hit me ehn, I will know. I was like Okay...
6 hours later, no sign of labour and they had to insert another... long story short, I was there for 3 days having the pills inserted every 6 hrs combined with taking several walks and dancing. I had a total of 6 pills inserted. It was emotionally draining especially seeing other women come in and leaving me there to have their babies. I was also tired of all the insertions and cervix checks. The last attempt was Pitocin drip, I had heard that pitocin causes excruciating pain as soon as passed but I didn’t mind, I was already tired. They passed the drip, Pitocin no work o, I even slept and woke up. After a while some doctors and nurses walked up to me, checked cervix, still closed. They told me I would have to undergo CS for the baby’s safety and I agreed immediately. I told my husband and my mum. My mum was trying to calm me saying I shouldn’t be scared, I was like no shaking jor, I’m not scared. I was wheeled into the theatre within 15 mins, the fear that grabbed me as soon as we entered ehn. I was alone but I had called my friend and she was still on her way. They first chook me about 6 needles on my spine(maybe I’m exaggerating lol) but I kept telling myself that if i move, that’s the end o. I can’t explain how I felt after the anesthesia started kicking in, helpless to say the least, I managed to tell the Anesthetist that I was hungry, he said “right now? no no no”. I was placed on oxygen and felt a little better. I suddenly felt nothing but closed my eyes cos of fear. My friend had come in and I heard her ask me if i can feel anything, that was when I opened my eyes, I said no. They brought out my beautiful baby looking like her dada, cleaned her and put her on my chest, best feeling ever. Nine days post delivery and I can barely feel my CS pain.
I wish everyone here safe delivery of their LOs and send baby dusts to TTC mamas. May God answer all our prayers.

Cappo Jeniluv BS submitted, Congratulations to you and all November mommas on the delivery of your LOs.

congratulations to you ma

Birth alert/BS

My beautiful princess arrived on the 21st at 3:07am weighing 8 pounds.
Shortly after i posted about my fear and frustration of hitting the 40 weeks mark yet no labour sign, my contractions started hours after at about say 3pm that same day . I noticed bloody discharge more like spotting so i rushed to wear my disposable pant/pad, showered and cleaned up and packed my bag for essentials and toiletries. Thereafter i laid on the bed and started timing, when it was about 8 minutes apart i headed for the hospital because the hospital is about an hour away. Got to the hospital and was checked,dilation was measured as 4cm as at around 7:30pm. I was admitted and sent to labour and delivery unit, at about 9pm or so i was checked again and still measured 4cm all this while with unbearable contraction pains. At about past 10pm I begged to be checked again but progress was little just btw 4 and 5cm. I requested for epidural which is the greatest regret of my life, my spine was poked at severally and at one point i felt a shocking sensation my right side despite maintaining the arch position and still enduring contractions. I let out a scream and told the anaestician i was no longer interested, he then paged for his other colleague who i guess was his superior she came in and calmed me down and took over and in just one attempt she got it right. i immediately requested the nurse in the room with me that i only want doctors attending to me because the dilation checks and all were by midwives as i had seen no doctor at all.

I dont know if it's the epidural or not but baby became distressed as her heart rate started dropping a team of doctors about 5 rushed into the room broke my water immediately and saw meconium in the water. Dilation was checked again yet no progress and baby was becoming more and more distressed.

At about 3am of the 21st , eventually the head doctor convinced me to get a CS done asap instead of induction cos induction would further cos baby's heart rate to decline with more intense contractions. That she prefers to hand me over a healthy baby than a lifeless one. Theatre was prepared immediately and i was wheeled into the theatre for surgery, another anestesia was administered to numb my lower part and baby was brought out.
She didnt cry at first but after alll they did she let out a cry and she was rushed to NICU for further checks and treatment, they sucked out the contents in her stomach and all she swallowed and monitored her in the nursery for hours.
In all i thank God it ended in praise even though it wasn't as i expected however i have a healthy beautiful calm girl to call my own and that's all that maters.

Cappo jeniluv, BS submitted and i am wishing all mumies a safe delivery.

congratulations ma
