ladyrachy:
Let me rant small,hmm The way baby things are expensive ehn.I used to think people selling baby things are wasting their time only for me to get pregnant and discover they are making money and those stuff don't expire they only go out of fashion and design. As a FTM nko u gat buy most things,my neighbor said to me iyawo close eye buy them now,second baby u go spend only on clothes.When I hear prices of things a neighbor of mine bought her stuff in 2020 I want cry cos the price am seeing now is high. Make God just provide money cos which one will I leave out abi hospital list nko wey still dey dre. I tire small sha but I still thank God for this gift.

B.S (Part 1)

First I give praise to Almighty Allah for giving me the grace to share this story.

So this mama had always wanted to give birth at her 41st week due to some personal reasons. My due date was April 26th and I stubbornly refused to set my heart on that date despite warnings from hubby.

So I kept pushing a lot of things that had to the with the birth forward so as not to induce labour as if I was in control of the date. As at April 26th my EDD, I had not even finished making my babies outfit and I was still holding off on eating pineapple, ewedu, and dates as advised by other mums.

Hubby finally had a veteran mum speak to me regarding my lackadaisical attitude and she advised it’s better if I start taking these things that’d make delivery easier now rather than later in case baby decided to come before my preferred date so I don’t end up regretting. I sha listened to her and went to buy 2 big pineapples and a bowl of dates and started eating them aggressively from the night of 26th. In fact I ate pineapple and dates only all through that period morning and night for my fast - not just for the labour - but more because I had deprived myself of pineapple all through my pregnancy (because I heard it might cause miscarriage in earlier stages) and now I wanted to binge eat it.

Note that on my 39th week appointment when I was already 1cm, my OB and hubby ganged up against me and said I’d probably come in for delivery before the 40th week appointment day which fell on the 28th of April (2 days after my EDD). When I kept insisting that lailai she said anyway whatever happens she won’t let me go beyond my 41 weeks day. So if the baby follows my chosen schedule I have to set a time to come in for induction on that date.

On the 26th day, I had no feeling of labour and I was feeling fly. 27th day, still nothing I was still jumping up and down . In fact by the night of the 27th day I was just running my mouth off to hubby about how he and the conniving doctor will be so disappointed by the time I show up for my appointment tomorrow morning at 40 weeks+2 days

Anyway the next morning (28th) which was my clinic day, I woke up and was having pain in my lower region. I wasn’t worried because of recent I always have pain in my pubic region when my bladder is full in the morning and I have to get up from the bed with great difficulty. Anyway I went to the bathroom to pee, after finishing my business, I wiped and ghen ghen I saw blood .

I was calm, so I called out to hubby in his sleep and said start packing it’s time for the hospital. Poor guy was confused thinking it was clinic, I said oga na the real deal be this. We are going to the hospital not the clinic.

Note that I already got some heads up from a neighbor of mine who gave birth 2 months ago in the same hospital I was to use. She labored for over 24 hours trying V.D before they had to do emergency C.S for her. When I got to the emergency section of the hospital, a wheelchair was brought for me but I refused and said I wanted to walk in. At this point I had started regretting holding things off and was looking for every means that would make labour easier for me. Even if na that small walk upstairs that’d help baby come out faster. But the attendant refused and said it was hospital’s policy for me to be wheeled in. At this point I hadn’t started feeling painful contractions. I sha got on reluctantly and was wheeled into a labour room.

Then I was told to take off all my clothes and put on the hospital gown then lie on the bed. I asked the nurse that se everything including pant? She said yes. I said but I’m still seeing blood so she gave me a white towel to put down there like a pad.

A medical personnel later came in and examined me and she said I was still 2 centimeters and all we have to do is wait. So she connected me to the monitor and I could see my baby’s heart rate and my contractions on the screen above. Then she said If I have any questions or need help or have any concerns I should dial the line for the nurse. At this point my people, I have started getting painful menstrual-like cramps every 6 minutes .

Hubby had gone out to buy coconut because I have read and seen mums whose babies were affected by colic. After doing a search through Nairaland for preventative measures I could see that coconut water had the highest vote. But we didn’t want these medical personnel to know cause they are funny they could decline and maybe even put you under watch/radar for baby abuse. So hubby and I had devised a plan for giving the baby the coconut water as the first liquid after birth.

I got to the hospital by 9 am, when it was 1:00pm and still no movement from 2CM and pain was getting higher I called hubby that I want to go back home and start walking and climbing stairs o. This one these people just put me on top bed as if I dey bedrest. I don’t want this labour to lead to a C-section. Hubby agreed. So I called the nurse and told her to inform the doctor I wanted to leave for home.

About 5 medical personnel walked in. My people, turns out my conniving clinic doctor was also on duty that day in the hospital . She was one of the doctors that came in to attend to me and had a funny look on her face as if to say Se I no tell you, then she said smiling “darling here you are, turns out your baby wants his own date and not mummy’s date” . Me I was just like wo I don’t have time for story Abeg discharge me fast fast.

They sha talked to me and said I don’t have to go if I don’t really want to, I said no o I will go o. So they gave me 4 signs to check out for and come back if I notice any of it. 1.If my water breaks 2 If baby moves less 3. If the contractions are too intense. Then my conniving clinic doctor said “Who knows your baby might hold off till May 3rd” . I no even look her face, I sharpaly signed the consent form for discharge and quickly vamoosed outta the hospital. At this point, I was still stuck on 2cm, contraction was coming in every 5 minutes and lasting for 30 seconds - Omo that 30 seconds be like jahannam (hellfire) - and I wanted to quickly go and apply fire brigade approach at home .

Yes ma'am because there is won't be anyone to stay with me during the process.... although we ve concluded on going today

novia22:
I remember one painful experience during my first preg. There was a time I was sitting propped up with pillows, I didn't know that position wasn't comfy for my LO then. If you see how this girl kicked my diaphragm eeeh.....I got up and started hitting my chest, then I made the biggest mistake of my life. I bent over and tried bringing my shoulders together for comfort. The muscle in-between my chest shifted and the bone there overlapped. For some seconds there I saw the white light......
Mama's no matter how the LO kicks your heart and throat, I take God beg you, be careful how you bend over...our bodies do really change during pregnancy..

NeroPapas:
OK Una evening.. This is KingNeropapas aka DP, that is to say Daddy Phoenix ... I wan share our BS!!!

I for don nack una the tory but I see say plenty dust been raise for here and be like say no be right time, plus I've been doing daddy duties!
My wife's pregnancy journey was very smooth and stress free.. We TTC'd for a year and God answered us July last year. We registered under a scheme the moment we realised she was preggy. I chose the scheme cos private hospitals in Port Harcourt can really be expensive.
I didn't miss any ANC session with my wife.. I have the time so I could narrate all these stories better.
Let's fast forward to week 33 which was a bit scary cos wify had a high BP which was handled with few medications. We were given 2 EDDs, 15th and 18th April... We did more than 8 scans during pregnancy, that's because my wife works at an ultra sound center at a point, I had to caution her. Most of the scan said 15th, while two said 18th.
Sunday 10th of April started as a normal cool Sunday, the day started with BD which madam initiated , I have to give in cos una know na..!
By 2pm that day, We were in the sitting room watching TV.. I laid on the sofa, while madam sat pon di floor. She then stood up to get something from the bedroom, that was when she noticed water gush! She called me and I was like so what next? She said we wait! Ngwanu, we dey wait. I been don pack bag keep since. I then call my neighbour, a mother of 4 to come help check my wife, she came and said yes.. Water e yaff break. Madam don wear comfit pad and we dey wait. Could you all believe that after two hours, with the water still running at intervals, there's no contraction whatsoever. All other signs that were supposed to follow refuse to show up. Wify was still laidat.. I come turn doctor dey ask her.. How are you feeling now? She said nothing. Ha.. Nothing ke. Oya begin walk upandan na.. She did and still nothing. Wo after about an hour, making it wakati Meta (3 hours) that water haff broken.. I told her, we're going to the hospiru . We got there about 6pm. They confirmed water haff broke but service sorry cervix yaff not open. Ha, my village people, not today pls .. Well they monitored her all through the night, Baby's heartbeat was fine and she was fine too.. They said its normal in FTMs for water to break and contractions could start 12-18 hours later.
24hrs has passed still nothing. We were then sent for scan at about 10am.. The result showed baby was 39weeks old that day with EDD being 18th April. But the woman said the baby has to come out within the next 48hrs. Ok kila mase bayi? What's next? The doctor said we wait till night that if no show, they'll induce her.
So I stepped out to stroll while wify went back to her bed. Let's than 30mins,i came back to the labor ward, my wife is already on oxygen and drip.. Ha edakun, wazall this? They said the Baby's heartbeat is fainting abi going up! Ejo, pardin?? Don't let me faint here!! My wife has never been sick or admitted in her almost 3 decades of existence.. So the whole oxygen thing traumatised her. I calmed her and told her its just oxygen and its for her and the baby.. I now asked, didn't we just do a scan and everything is fine?? Why on earth is the Baby's heartbeat going up.. to where? At this point, I was scared too but didn't show it. My wife was on drip cos she was weak at this point. My younger brother called me and I narrated everything to him.. That's when he gingered that we shouldn't wait till midnight for the inducement. I then met the doctor and spoke to him calmly. He said well, CS is the next thing that if we wait till that midnight, something could go wrong.. Ha.. Ejo sir, Eni soribu . He said if they induce her, it may not work so well will still come to the CS.
I say ese sir.. Leave inducement out of this.. Let's go straight to CS.. That's how my wife was prepared for it!
At exactly 6pm, 11th April, 2022, Our CP.. Crown Prince was brought out of the operation room .. I didn't know how to feel. He greeted me cry.. I said welcome son !
Ejo, Where's my wife?? After about Anada 15 minutes, I was called to come and assist to carry my wife out of the operation room. Stepping in, I saw my beautiful wife smile at me. I kissed her pon di forehead .... Chai, see love in the theater .
My boy weighed 3.5kg and 50cm tall. We left the clinic after 3days...with baby, mother and daddy doing Fantabulous
All Glory to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who saw us through the journey.. May His name alone be Praised... Amin
Thank you for reading our BS.. LOVE YOU ALL

May God answer every woman and every family seeking a child or children. For all preggy moms.. You Shall carry to full term and there shall be no loss... The Bible said.. None shall cast their young. We shall not cast our young in Jesus name.
