Birth Story
I promised not to carry this over to the new year so let me share it now.

I got pregnant at a time we weren't expecting any baby cos we felt we were not ready but God had a better plan. Through out pregnancy I was strong except for occasional tiredness and some other minor issues to the glory of God. By November I was already counting days and seriously looking forward to December. First week of December nothing came forth. Then on 12th my friend told me her husband said j was going to deliver 14th which was his birthday then another friend mentioned that date again so I started looking forward to the day.
On Friday the 13th during the Holy Ghost night I danced like my life depended on it. Around 1am after Daddy G.O's prayer, the first contractions came I thought it was like before that will come and not come back till after some hours then after 15mins it came back again and I knew this was the real deal. Around 3am I woke my husband and told him he said ok and went back to sleep. He told me later that he was thinking it will be like the first that took 18 hours that's what I thought too. All this while I was sleeping in between by 5am I stood up to clean the house I was in the middle of washing plates when I went to wake my husband to bath himself and our son so we can head to the hospital he didn't answer me by now I was 10 minutes apart I entered bathroom to bath by the time I got to my middle part I could not continue again I poured water on my body and came out. DH was awake by now. Oya let's start going he said he wants to bath seriously I felt like slapping him that's how he entered bathroom sat in toilet seat and was pressing phone after spending like 15mins he came out and dressed up then I asked if he wanted me to deliver in the car he said that can't be possible. Ok let's go. On getting outside our neighbor's car was blocking ours I told him I can't wait for this I will trek to the street junction let him pick me up there. While trekking at every contraction I will hug an electric pole, thank God I wasn't electrocuted by now contractions were coming back to back some minutes into the journey I felt like something burst from under me and water gushed out, I then held my husband's neck and told him he wasn't driving fast he replied if he drives faster than this then something else may happen. I was just there doing drama I raised my clothes and removed my pants put my legs on the window and was screaming and my son was there watching me. Earlier I had told DH to lock the door cos I might be tempted to open. All of a sudden I felt the urge to push I told DH and shouted no I should not and I told him I will. Then we started exchanging I will push don't push. That one no concern me I sha pushed and i felt something hard come out of me. I asked DH if it was my internal organs or baby's head he said he doesn't know we were on the express then. Then the whole head came out next thing the body slipped out of me I looked up and I saw we were at the hospital gate. Thank God finally we are here. The nurses we met on duty were angels they attended to me very well. When it was time to suture the nurse took her time to explain that my first episiotomy wasn't stitched well so it tore again and I have so much tears but she will take her time to suture she gave me more than five injections to numb it and was always reminding me to tell her if I feel pains. We were discharged some hours later. And that's how I delivered a 3.9kg baby with God and angels as my doctor and nurses.
I return all glory to the Almighty God who took charge of everything.

I can attest to this. Cloths I bought for my son in 2017 are superb and awesome quality without stress. There were some bodysuits (0—3 months), she told us it will still fit till 4-5 months, truthfully my baby rock it to about 6 months sef it will stretch and not slack I kept staring and admiring them. We will be patronising her this time around God willing.

Same testimony about those body suits we wore ours till around 9 months and it didn't slack. Baby no 2 is going to rock it like it's new.

hunniesuzie:
Lmao, my fren don't be lazy and wash ALLLLLLLLL the clothes

[s]Me I dinnor wash any new clothes the last time sha. I cannot kee myself[/s]

I yaff hear you.

Chimzy09:


Saw it lots of times on the newborn thread it’s stuck in my memory haha

Good student

Prettyuche:


Thanks mama.I will do just that

Teamie relax your mind please. 2 weeks ago mine was 141/ something on Monday it dropped to something safe that I can't remember again. Don't mind me pregnancy makes me forget things easily. All I did was reduced salt intake. So do as you are told, our bundles will be here very soon.

Ajokeomo and khaffi2 congrats. Nice BS

Chimzy09:


You need to join the newborn thread.
The name is acalypha leaf. The red one cos there’s a green one

Thanks so much. I've been trying to remember since.

kokaiye:
can u pls help me find out d name?

Hunniesuzie zaynie liftedhands Mamas please help me with the name of that red flower. It skipped my preggo brain

hunniesuzie:
Lol, I think I'm the only one who is weird then. I didn't feel in a hurry to buy jack. As I found I was having another boy I relaxed further. I only bought a few new things for hospital let it not be as if new baby doesn't have new clothes...lol

Pack, I never pack. Sort old clothes nko? nope. Wash? Whosai...I eventually kuku bought the few things I wanted to replace

Meanwhile I'm due in less than 5 weeks and SUPER busy at work (I plan to work till the 31st).

Walahi your own is still better. I have just +/-2 weeks to go. I just sorted old clothes on Monday and I've not washed it. Is it me that didn't wash old clothes that will think of washing new ones? My tiredness is on another level.

Anugod:
I'm telling you o, the temptation is just too real. The other day, Dh bought a pack of onesies for a neighbor that just put to bed. I was asking why he bought just one pack abi that onesies is not good for his coming baby ni? Whenever I go to the market I just have to close eye and pass baby shops o, before I use food money buy baby things finish o

Please you can use your own to buy it but don't use my daughter in law's food money to buy baby clothes

Anugod:
Lol. It'll be nice to have a boy so I can just close shop. I just don't want to get my hopes too high ni. Already shopping small small in pink. Lol. My ijebu side won't mind a girl cos I won't have to go all out shopping all over again. If a boy, he'll have to wear the pink stuff I already got.
I pray lo shows me soon so I can just face one direction already

The way my baby too will have to wear blues and boys stuff if he decides to surprise me. Though I didn't shop much but I still shop o. Can't resist buying baby things jor.

kokaiye:
toh!!!! Tnk u ojere my dear mama.... I was stil pressurized by my grama today cos she saw dis rashes dt yoruba people call Alefo n was like "ha!!! Let us get u dis herb n dt herb 2 send it away" i told her grama c ehn, u ve take ur own kids lemme take care of mine d way i fit biko n moreover d oda grama said its a sigh dt baby is gonna b tall n dt it will go away... Pls, no agbo abeg.

That's how our Mamas are jare. We just have to be firm on them. You can bath baby with that red flower I can't remember the name again. It cures alefo very well.

kokaiye:
