Chinnybaby99:I'm sorry you're in such pain. I don't know much about hemorrhoids and pregnancy/delivery, but I'll advice you listen to your doctor. This is because pushing out a baby is hard work which puts a lot of strain on your rectum and everything there. The stress and pain may be too much for you to bear. |

MY PREGNANCY/ BIRTH STORY: I'll be as brief as possible, for if I don't share this now I may never share it here. *scratches eyes* This pregnancy was connected to the previous ones. In May 2015 I had a miscarriage which was a horrifying experience. Both the loss in itself and the pains my body went through while expelling the foetus. Come November that same year I took in again. I was overjoyed when at my 6wks scan I discovered I was expecting twins. I prayed and hoped for a boy and a girl which God granted. MS was severe until around 18wks. I had this fear of reduced MS because of things I had read on the internet. Things saying a sudden reduction or stop in MS could mean the developing foetuses had died, so the body stops producing HCG (which is responsible for MS). I stumbled upon this thread and registered then in 2016. Everything went well with that pregnancy except at the later stage I became swollen all over with water. My legs and feet were time one and half. I was always getting pitiful stares  In August at delivery I lost my second twin, the boy. My heart was shattered but God mended it. Because of the pain i deleted my previous NL account and kept away from social media and some people. My consolation was my baby girl. I consoled myself with the thought that at least I came out with one live baby. What if they both died  What if we all died Some people don't come out with any and it affects them for life. Kai! The loss of a child is a terrible experience. My heart goes out to everyone who has lost a child at any developmental stage. May the comforter comfort your souls in Jesus precious name, Amen. Because of that loss I didn't want to stay too long before having another child like I initially planned. I felt my daughter would be too lonely after having shared a womb with a sibling at the same time. So when she was a year and six months old, I told my husband it was time for another baby. The man was ready and we... I'm very sure I took in on the 1st of March because my circle is like clockwork. I asked God for a stress free pregnancy so I could take care of my husband and baby. He granted it. I was strong all through except for when my daughter and I had malaria and were admitted at the hospital. I was hoping to deliver at 37wks but God and baby had other plans. I became very irritable and easily got angry at the slightest provocation. I was very uncomfortable, always hungry, tired and sleepy one moment, agile the next, cleaning up the place, going up and down the staircase, complaining to God, my husband and mom. Ah I was tired of being pregnant. I'll have to continue in another post. 26 Likes 1 Share |

CONTINUATION: I missed something I wanted to mention in my previous post. At 28wks, my family and I changed location. I had to change hospital. It took some time getting one my husband and I were comfortable with amongst those under our HMO. I registered my pregnancy again at 36wks  (I know). The first gynaecologist I met at the new hospital asked why I didn't register my pregnancy earlier and I told him why. He said my baby was big and asked I do a glucose screening test. I did and everything was fine. All these time I kept taking my routine drugs as much as I could(I dislike drugs), did 2 scans to keep my mind at rest( I only did 5 scans in this pregnancy unlike the previous one which I lost count of. I was doing scans every 2wks or so). Bless my son he was very active and had his pattern and times of movement. So I was always on the look out for any slight change in his movement. At my 38wk + appointment I complained I was having discharges which I wasn't sure whether it was amniotic fluid or not just because I wanted some form of assessment to tell if labour had started. I knew it wasn't amniotic fluid.  And the doctor said to do a VE. I was happy because I wanted to know if I was making progress. Disappointment was written all over my face when the doctor said my cervix was still very high and posterior. He was going to do a membrane sweep if everything there was favourable. But alas! I dragged my heavy self home. That day was a Monday.By Saturday that week I went back to the hospital and said I was having contractions. I went with my husband, daughter and brother. A nurse at the front desk asked if I saw water, I said no. She asked when did I start having contractions, I told her since Friday. She asked when is your EDD, I told her next week Friday. She was like, "so you stayed at home to wear your make up. Hope you brought your baby's things?" I said yes. My box and bag were in the car just in case.  My vitals were checked by a nurse. When she saw me she said, "ah you're still rolling" I was like yesso. I saw a different doctor. I laid my complaints and requested a membrane sweep if my cervix was favourable. I told him i wasn't going home without putting to bed. Today na today. He laughed. He checked and it was still high and posterior. In fact my baby hadn't descended yet,his head was still above my pubis. This particular VE was quite uncomfortable unlike the first. I dragged my disappointed self to my husband and said let's go home. The man was trying to comfort me as if he truly truly understood. But except you're the one carrying the pregnancy you can never really understand I went home and cried.The following Monday at 39wks+ I didn't feel like going for my routine doctor's appointment. I felt it was no use and would only go to the hospital if I was certain baby was about to come out. I Sha went but very late. The nurse had to go beg the doctor to see me because 'gynae' time had passed. Here's how it played out: Me: Good afternoon sir Doc: Good afternoon. How are you today, any complaints? Me: Yes please. I'm tired, angry, miserable, sore, sad, having shortness of breath and just tired. I thought I'd have put to bed by now. I need to start recuperating instead of still waddling. I need to be there for my older baby. She thinks I don't have her time anymore. Doc: But you chose to get pregnant. Why didn't you give more spacing to allow your daughter be less dependent. Besides you've carried 2 before and the discomfort can't be compared to this one. Me: I wanted her to have a sibling to grow and play with. Doc: oh like to replace the other one. I cut him short Me: not really Doc: OK lie Dow let me check your baby...( checks for heartbeat, measures the belly) Alright your baby is fine. See you next week Monday if you don't fall into labour by then. Disappointed me drags herself out and home. I kept on counting the hours and minutes. The days became too long. Meanwhile in first and second trimesters a whole week didn't seem long at all. In fact 2wks didn't seem long. But now, 4days seemed like eternity. My mom came on Thursday, a day to my EDD. She'd have come earlier but due to some reasons couldn't. O boy was her coming a huge moral support. We did some food stock up. Friday and I was excited that the day had come. If it will add a few days on top, it will be max 3 days I thought. But at the same time I was a bit worried not to go too long past my due date. Plus I was simply done with this pregnancy journey. And this my hospital won't induce you until 42wks. I told my husband before he left for work that I was going to the hospital. To do what he asked. To deliver our baby.  Has labour started he asked. Small small I said He said he'll have his ears on ground in case of anything I should call him to meet me at the hospital. He kept calling throughout the day to know what's up. I said nothing yet. It was a few minutes past 6 I left the house to start my long trek. When I told him, he said I should better not embark on that kind of journey, that it was already late. That if I must go to the hospital at that time I should call a cab. I said OK. But I was still going to do my own thing anyway. My mom carried my daughter on her back and we started our journey to the promised lanmadam My mom didn't know the distance to the hospital until we got to a point and she was like, " I don't want you to give birth on the road o. Let's take a cab. Is the place still far? I don't think this is a good idea". But I'll say " mommy we're almost there. Please can you sight the tail of that fish at the roundabout?(Abraham Adesanya roundabout for those in that axis). It's shortly after the round about". We kept on walking. After a little while my mom would say she can't see the roundabout yet, and I'll say very soon. As we were walking people were giving me way. Some looked at me with pity. Others who understood knew I was up to something and either smiled or said some greetings. We walked and walked and walked until we passed the roundabout. I wanted to continue walking but my mom said no. We should use a vehicle for the remaining distance. I reluctantly agreed and we entered keke to the hospital. We got there some minutes to 8pm. I laid my complaints and saw a doctor. It was the same one I met on Saturday the week before. When he saw me he smiled and was like madam you're here again. I said yes. He: what's the matter this time? Me: I'm having contractions He: since when? Me: since but they're now frequent( all this time it was braxton hicks contractions, waist pain and pelvic floor pain I was having) He: Let's go to the emergency room. But how frequent are they? Me: I haven't been timing them, but they're very frequent. Another VE was done. And by how easy it was I could tell I was making progress. The doctor said, "okay you're making progress" I asked him how many CM dilated I was and if my cervix had positioned itself properly. He said " yes cervix I now anterior and 2cm dilated" Glory! I was happy. He said for baby's heartbeat to be monitored and contractions timed. That if I get 2 contractions in 10mins I'd be admitted that night. I went upstairs and was strapped to the CTG machine for 30mins. Wwam I got out my husband and the senior gynaecologist were waiting for me. The doctor said my baby's heartbeat was excellent and he was going to check me. He did and said I was barely 2cm dilated but very effaced. He then successfully stripped my membranes and sent me home. He said labour hadn't started but why he did should speed things up. After the strip/ sweep my pelvic area felt very sore and lose sort of. I went home took a shower and went to bed. But the sleep wasn't comfortable because I started having real frequent contractions. When it hits me I'll turn to one side. When another comes, I'll turn to the other side. I tried timing them but couldn't keep up. My daughter wanted to cuddle throughout this particular night and I wasn't up for it, but I managed. I was up and out of bed by 6. Went to my mom and she wanted knowing how I was feeling. I tried describing it. I got hungry and took half a bottle off soya milk. My contractions were growing in intensity and duration. I went to the toilet 4 times. My mom came and saw me the 4th time and said ,"you're still here? Don't give birth in the toilet. Take your bath and let's head to the hospital. I took a sharp bath. The other's got ready and to the hospital. We got there at 8. I was checked and was 5-6cm dilated. I was asked if I had my delivery items and I said yes. I got to the delivery room upstairs amidst pains. When it hits, I'll stop in my tracks and continue walking when it relieves me. I was asked to lay down when all I felt like doing was squat. That was how I was able to manage the pain. The midwife who was with me before the others came said I should breath through my mouth when I get contractions. But I told her I've been doing it but it wasn't working. She was was like how come it's not working for me. I said I don't know. My mom came in and prayed with me. Cutting out some details so my story doesn't get much longer than this. 2 midwives and 2 doctors attended to me. My waters were broken around 11m at 8cm dilation. Some 20-30mins later I felt the urge to poop/push. I said so and the main doc said I should gradually push whenever I had that urge. But pushing became a problem for me. I was told to hold both ankles and look towards my belly but I couldn't. A pillow was gotten to prop my back in a more upright position. It didn't really help. I just couldn't position myself well. The midwives began to say I should push and get everything over with. I told them I was. They said no I wasn't. That I'm no longer a novice in these things again, that I had done it before with twins. I said that one was easier than this. They said how na. I tried for like 5 times. But the contractions would subside before I finished and my baby's crown will slide back in. So I had to start afresh with the next contraction. I said I need to be in a more upright position. So another pillow was gotten and my husband supported my back. The main doctor said I should give my best push with the next pain(in his words) as of I want to shit very strong shit. I started pushing with the next contraction and just when I was going to stop so I could breath I heard my husband say, " ah Bibby don't stop, ah I can see the baby's head". That gave me strength and I popped out the head. His body slipped out immediately. So was the placenta. No single tear or bruise. His crying no be here o. He was born on the 24th November at 12:06pm He weighed 3.5kg 40wks +1day gestational age EXTRA NOTES: In my previous pregnancy I felt the labour pains in my brain and a tightening of my belly. I could feel the pain rising, peaking and then subsiding, all in my brain. I couldn't tell which part of my body hurt. And pushing them out felt as if I was laying eggs. When my daughter came out, I felt the hollow in my belly immediately and was like, is that all? Same thing with when my son came out. I chuckled literally. In this pregnancy my whole waist hurt like it was being separated from my limbs with hot fire. Also my whole belly hurt badly. I can't describe it. I tried meditating on pleasant memories to get me through the pain. I also kept looking at the time and telling myself maybe the next 5mins all this would be over and I'll get some relief. A mild systematic pain deliver was administered intravenously but I don't think it made any difference. I felt pain. I didn't shout but was using my hand close to the wall to try to push myself of the bed. I don't know how, but it helped to feel the bed move THE END. 75 Likes 2 Shares |
