FloraEC:


Are you sure your grandpa is not from A-state cos even the Rev Fr with the surname is from my villa.

I love your family tree biko,simple and short.

I've always been asked if I'm related to the Rev E from A-state whenever I mention my surname. Its gets more awkward when I say no that I'm from I-state. Those who know will look at me and ask how come? What is that name doing in I-state?


Honestly I wish to know more about the man E from I- state! How he got there? What made him leave home? Who his/our family are?


We are so large now that we fear we may marry our relatives from A-state! Which is one of the reason we don't marry from A-state.

Even some of us like me go to the extreme of not dating or marrying an Igbo man.

LadyMessi:




Is not like that nah, I only told just one person nah, OK sorry I will buy corn for you.
As for me I drink enough water but my potty is always handy.
Lol @adult diaper.

I drink enough in morning, afternoon but at night one sachet is enough

Part 2 BS

37weeks+, I found out I will be in the east for an important reason and will most likely give birth while there,so I made all arrangements and travelled with hubby at 38 weeks+. I quickly got recommendations for a good hospital and got myself acquainted with the staff and doctors. They are very wonderful people, infact.

My EDD was 06/06, so I relaxed myself for the coming two weeks,while trying to boost my blood level. But my baby had other plans of her own. On the morning of May 30th(Biafra day), I woke up and waddled to pee. After wiping,I saw blood stains. I have never bled,not even spotted at the beginning of the pregnancy, so what was this one na? I came online and threw the question to the house and some mamas advised me to go to the hospital. I and hubby rushed down,praying that we would not meet any violent group on the road. We arrived safely and I was ushered to a room to be checked. I never saw what came next. Vaginal examination is a bitch,mehn! I almost slapped the midwife in shock. She calmed me down enough to confirm that I was in labour and was 3cm dilated. She relayed it to he doctor and was advised to go home and wait till I feel strong and regular contractions, and return to them. I didn't wait to be told twice. My nyansh was already traumatized by that chooking of hand inside.

Throughout that day,I was waiting expectantly for the contractions to hit hard but nothing. At about 7pm,I cajoled hubby to follow me on an excruciatingly painful climb up a hill to force labour. After we came back,I went to urinate, and saw my bloody show. I knew my efforts were not in vain. Still,there was no contractions. I settled down for the night,hoping it would begin in the morning. As I lay down to sleep,I had a wet sensation down south. I got up and wham! My water gushed down. I woke hubby up to take me to the hospital. We got there at 11:35pm. I forgot that I was gonna go through another VE. When the night shift midwife came, and led me to the table,my heart did a flip ten times. I was like who sent me to come here now. This particular midwife was extraordinarily rough. No lubrication like the first one,just straight to the business. I screamed the hospital down. My hubby burst in,thinking I was already in active labour.

I was told I was only 4cm gone. Mogbe! Since morning! I spent the whole night climbing ramps and stairs, trying to hasten labour. Also went through three more VE every four hours till 9 am. A line was attached to my vein,ready for drips and whatever at anytime. Still, the whole process was dragging on slowly. The doctor told me that if by 1pm,nothing had changed,he would have to speed things up himself.

Come 1pm,there was no one to attend to me. All the staff had gone to their nursing school upstairs for an exam held that day! I had to wait till 2pm when they finished before I was checked again. This time I was only 6cm gone. Ha! I was mad as hell. I told them to do what they could to hasten things up cuz I was tired. No food or water since morning. The doctor led me to the delivery room on the pretext of checking me again. That was the last coherent thought I had for the next thirty minutes.

They discussed amongst themselves and came to a conclusion. Me,I was lying down waiting for them to tell me what's up. I didn't know one of the nurses had already injected something into my drip,till I looked up and saw it hanging above my head. The moment the drug hit my veins,I felt it. A coldness started from my hand and spread to my body. Me,that was having one contraction every thirty minutes, had five contractions in quick succession in six minutes. My back was being rubbed by one of the nurses and I was told how to breathe to ease the pain. The doctor told me that I would deliver very soon. I was like how? I just started having serious contractions. Within two minutes, I had the urge to poo. Everyone swung into action. They told me to push when the next contraction comes. When it hit,I pushed but I was snapping my legs shut. Come and see four nurses holding my legs down. They warned me not to try that stunt again.

Next one hit again, but it wasn't enough to push the baby out. The doctor then left his position and came to my belly and started tickling my skin. The next contraction started building up immediately. When it hit, he pushed down on my belly hard while another nurse pushed from head angle. I pushed very hard and poom! My baby came out all at once. I still don't know the speed at which the doctor used to catch her from his position of pushing my belly. I looked down and saw my fair skinned princess. She came out crying and the first thing she did was to suck her slimy fingers.

Placenta was attended to,I was cleaned up and moved to my ward to rest. The total amount of time,starting from when I was led to be checked by the doctor to when I was cleaned up took just approximately 30mins. Everything happened so fast that I was asking myself if I was done with delivery. And all without a single tear...

I just thank God for all. I thank all the mamas on this great thread for being there for people like me. I also thank all those who sent their well wishes. I can't begin to mention one by one but you are all special.

Lest I forget, I don't know how it happened or when it happened but on one of my numerous scans at 16/17weeks, the fibroids had all disappeared.

This is my princess an hour after her birth

Cc Rubyzz,Ayauche. BS submitted.

Picture taken down.

Bs
First and foremost, this is more or less like a testimony cos it goes beyond a mere birth story......those who knows my story from d ttc thread will agree with me that it has been God all along, from conception to delivery.....ds belle show me shege...at a point I almost lost hope....all the signs and symptoms of "bellehood" I suffered it all....I lost a whooping 34kg....my mates dey carry belle dey fat me dey lean....through all these I never knew God was preparing me for a supernatural delivery.......

On the 17th of December, 2017....I had just finished making dinner for my dh and daughter...so I settled down to devour the "slapping" udala I bought....now normally l can whitstand pain to a large extent....around 10pm I started feeling funny....I was like could this be it...one mind told me to go and wake up hubby d other one told me to wait and be sure first bf waking d man, I obeyed the second.... by 12, the contractions was about 10mins apart....I went in to say my midnight prayers...I. couldnt concentrate...something told me wake up ds man and go to d hospital...then I remembered how dt Dr. Inserted his five fingers to burst my waterbag during my first pregnancy, d pain and sh!t omo I respected myself....I will go to d hospital I told myself but not now let d labour progress a bit.......thats how I kept vigil through out d night no sleep plus continuous labour....around 5 am...one strong one hit me as I went to urinate....suddenly I felt one strong urge to push.....but I just held myself.....by then the contractions was like 5mins apart....I went to heat up some water to take my bath...around 6 hubby woke up and I told I want to go to the hospital.....by then the urge to urinate was so strong....I ran to the toilet,nothing came out....the next I saw was me holding hubby's shoulder tightly crying...the poor man was like what is happening? Are u alright....it was even him that told me am urinating on my body...only for him to smell it and discover it was not urine, omo na my water break........I placed my hand down there, and could touch my baby's head.....he ordered me to lie down so that he will call our neighbours'wives....one came and instead of helping out was busy shouting Jesus! Jesus! ....the other one ran to call a nurse who lived nearby....I checked again by then d Baby's head was coming out....I braced myself and pushed with all my strength...the baby's head came out...I pushed again..the shoulder came out, I used my right hand to gently draw the baby out, it came out in one gulp, cord and all....the nurse came shortly to cut d cord and to birth the placenta......that was how I gave birth to my son in my bedroom at 6.45am....... one of the ladies cleaned him up with olive oil.

We later went to the hospital....he weighed 3.2kg.

Even if God decides not to do anything for me again through out my life (God forbid)....I feel he has done more than enough for me.....who would imagine little chicken-hearted me, that cry cry that would cry, whenever ppl stylishly hinted on her barreness, that fat yellow igbo woman wey no get pikin, see me now, from mama babe, I don become mama bomboy....to top it off I delivered him myself...God has finished doing everything for me nah..


Ehm! "Coughs".....make una no go copy me go try born for house oooo, there is a reason hospitals are there for....in as much as I delivered at home...it was not intentional and NOT my original plan....make nobody copy me ooo.
