BS! BS!
Please manage my story.

So after my wedding dec 2018, i and hubby continued enjoying our lives thinking that baby will come at the right time lol. when we waited for like 5months, i started getting worried because i even thought i would take in immediately considering the fact that i be "holy holy" and that hubby was my first and only ( i no know say life no be so..lol). My mum and sisters started asking how far too. though hubby wasn't worried, he always told me to calm down. We don't live in the same city, he comes like twice in a month to see me...and i would always calculate my ovulation day and fix a date for him to come (still no show). 

well before the lockdown, my sister told me about a fertilityclinic i and i booked an appointment online. I went there alone, met with a doctor, did some series of test and they said they needed hubby too for his own test. We went there together when he came around. I was thinking they would maybe prescribe a drug or so, but they suggested we go for an iui. 
And Because i was desperate, i agreed. They gave us the estimate and we left. 

Then lockdown came...lol.  And then pregnancy came too. �� on its own. 

First trimester was hardddddd...was admitted in the hospital four good times. I couldn't eat or drink anything.Second trimester was manageable, although I was still weak. I even had a very serious tooth ache that led to removal of one of my tooth. 

Third trimester was my best, i was very energetic, i ate alot and was very smart at work too. 

At 38weeks, i ate peinapple because i wanted to induce labor, it gave me serious stomach pain till i threw up. At 39 weeks i applied for mat leave because my mum was already around. While at home, i was still exercising, doing chores and using the stairs for exercise.Bought castor oil one day and mixed with orange juice and drank, i had Same stomach pain till i threw up. 

At 39weeks 5days, 12am i started having contractions. I waited till 4am before going to the hospital, got to the hospital around 5am. I was checked and the doctor said i was 2cm (mogbe!! even with all the wait). She said i will be checked every 4hrs (Even the checking na war o). All these while, contraction pains was mad. I don beat everybody around me...lol. At about 11am, i was 6cm and by 3pm i was in the  delivery room. 

When told me to push, i started pooing oo...lol. They asked me to push the second time and i pooed again. I started apologizing to the nurses cos at this point, they covered their noses because of the smell...Hehehehe.
When i tried the third time, my baby came out and i felt relieved immediately and I was stiched.

I thank God for seeing me through this journey from the beginning to the end, i thank members of this group for lessons learnt. I pray fo safe delivery for the pregnant mamas on here and a BFP to those TTC.

Part 2 (Pregnancy and delivery)

This pregnancy was very eventful tbh. I used a total of 4 hospitals for different reasons and seem to have experienced all the pregnancy symptoms there is. Actually, it felt like whenever WTE (Pregnancy app) sends me a weekly pregnancy update I start experiencing the pregnancy symptoms they mention.

From day one of bfp i started experiencing nausea, cramping. Then some days later I started having really sharp pains in my tummy. I went to  a scan place ( this was the last day of the lockdown and i almost got arrested by police..thankfully I showed them an old chat i had with my doctor asking me to go do a test and the policeman couldn't tell it was old) and the sonographer's conclusion was endometriosis (sigh) even when I told him I had gotten a positive pregnancy test.

The next day i went to my hospital and the new gyne they had vexed me eh...I've never seen someone so unprofessional. He asked why I came to see him instead of a gp when all i had was a urinary tract infection (the swine was looking at notes from my previous visit)..he reluctantly sent me for a blood pt when I pointed out his mistake and dismissed my complaint about the pains and refused to request for a scan. I had to request for another scan myself at the hospital and they saw multiple fibroids (they were more than 5 but the largest was measuring around 2.5cm and it was the cause of the pain) a sac and no fetal pole was seen...

I was already 5 weeks plus here so naturally I became really worried because fetal pole should be seen at 5+ with tvs...I was asked to repeat the scan in 3 weeks and I can say that was the longest 3 weeks of my life. I started searching for blighted ovum comments on NL and even messaged a mama about her own experience but didn't get a response. Week 8 came and I did another scan and both FP and heartbeat were seen, victory!

Then week 9 i started spotting and the cramping increased so I went to hospital number 2. The doctors solution was to watch and see and in his words "if the pregnancy stays till 20 weeks id give medication to mature the baby's lungs.." i almost passed out, they had to buy me coke to revive me, lol. That was the end of my sojourn with hospital 2.

Went to hospital 3 and the doctor put me on cyclogest for 1 month and when the cramping and spotting increased he increased the dosage of the drugs. The plan was to use hospital 3 for antenatal then travel abroad for delivery...so when they too started misbehaving I just told myself id manage them till I travel.

Second trimester came with increased libido and energy which quickly disappeared in the 3rd trimester. I had all sorts in the first and 3rd trimesters..nausea, skin rashes, heartburn, hemorrhoids, both round ligament and back pains.

It wasn't until 35weeks that I realised my plans of travelling had gone burst and I genuinely went into panic mode. For some reason I wasn't very settled about using hospital 3 for delivery but I couldn't place a finger on why I felt that way, maybe because one of my visits i had to remind the doctor of my condition cos his notes had me as having cervical incompetence which was wrong amongst other things...fortunately I went for antenatal at 35+ and the hospital Informed me that my HMO has cancelled their contract with them so id have to pay by myself for services rendered...that was the sign I was looking for in the end as I told myself if I was going to pay myself then I'd rather be where I'm comfortable with..so the hunt for hospital for delivery started.

After several calls and Google searches and reviews I picked hospital number 4..called them but unfortunately their gynes were fully booked and the first available slot was at week 37 (my delivery week). I booked to see a GP for week 36 so I can visit the hospital and I went along with my medical record.

First visit with gyne was Tuesday and while discussing with her I felt so at ease...she complimented my pcv (done at week 35 was 40%) and asked what I ate to have kept it so high (I ate lots of fruits and veges during my pregnancy). She asked about my medical history and was very thorough..my dh even reminded me of my arrhythmia (I had forgotten about it) and it was documented.

I mentioned my fears ranging from pain management to infection and anesthesia and she allayed my fears...but she said they were fully booked and because of my history (prev myo and CS) they can't keep me beyond 37weeks so the only time they can slot me in was 7am the next day . Lol..I hadn't even packed my bag infact the last items on my list that I bought were supposed to be delivered to me that day.
I had planned to go home and pack after the lab work and ECG and scan. Scan showed my baby's EFW was 2.9kg, pcv was 38% but my Potassium level was low and they needed to correct it with drips prior to surgery hence I was admitted immediately. My DH and nanny had to do the packing over WhatsApp video call with me lying in bed hooked up to a line..lol thankfully they were able to get everything I needed.

The doctor had told me to wake up early and have a long shower since I won't be having a shower in a while, I assumed it was until I'm discharged cos with my abroad delivery I started showering upon discharge. She also briefed about the food and water fast..no food beyond 10pm and no water beyond 12midnight. Id be shaved that night, taken down to the theatre at 6:30am and prepped for surgery, she'd see me at 7am and go through the consent form and the anesthesiologist will brief me too.

I couldn't sleep that night..I kept waking up every 30mins so as not to miss that hot shower..and I was very nervous because the scariest part of the surgery for me is the anesthesia and that their gigantic needle. Finally got off the bed at 4:30am and took a long shower. The nurse came and inserted a catheter, collected the clothes baby will wear and at 6:30 we went down to the theatre area (i was in the recovery room cos someone else was in the labour room and her screams were so loud..made me shiver).

The gyne came and we went through the consent contents in details which includes benefits of the surgery, possible complications (blood loss, damage to surrounding organs and a possible Hysterectomy in a case of uncontrollable bleeding) and I signed the form. I digress, these details solely concerns the woman and her health, it baffles me that some hospitals in Nigeria insist/wait for the husband, who isnt the patient, to sign the consent form when the woman is conscious and lucid.

The anesthesiologist came and she asked about my history, known drug allergies, anf she explained the process..when id feel a sting on my back, then warmness in my legs then the heaviness and inability to raise my legs etc. She also mentioned she'd monitor my heart cos of the arrhythmia...I asked about spinal headache (solution is to take caffeine...coffee or coke) and my fear of the needle.
Now it was time to head to the theatre proper..unfortunately due covid they weren't allowing spouses into the theatre anymore so my dh had to wait in the recovery room for me.

Got on the bed and the sitting position was such that the anesthesiologist was behind me so I didn't get to see the dreaded needle . The whole medical team were female including the pediatrician and that made me at ease for some weird reason.

The anesthesiologist would state what she wanted to do before she does it...e.g "im going to clean your back with disinfectant" etc.. I arched my back on the pillow as requested, she found the opening in my spine, I felt the mild sting on my back, then my legs started getting warm so I had to quickly lie down before my legs became numb...then the tingling sensation came, then I couldn't wriggle my toes anymore. She then asked me to lift my legs which I obviously couldn't do as the blocking had worked.

I laid down flat on the table with my hands spread out to both sides with the anesthesiologist standing by my head and she asked that I tell her if I feel the need to throw up as that was one of the effects of the drugs administered. After the medical team read their checklist (something I really liked) they took note of the time and started work.

I started smelling something like burning meat and I tried to ask the anesthesiologist what it was before I realised it was me been cut open ...just the usual tugging feeling on the skin and no other feelings.

The doctor really took her time as the whole surgery from start to end lasted 1hr 38mins. It was boring and no dh to gist with. At some point I reacted to a medication given (my heart rate changed due to the arrhythmia) and I was given an oxygen mask , I also felt like throwing up at some point but it was a false alarm..

I was waiting for that chest pressure you feel when they are pulling the baby out but the gyne asked the anesthesiologist to put pressure on my chest with her hands so the pain wasn't much then I heard my baby scream and my tear ducts opened up. I started crying like a baby the anesthesiologist had to help me wipe my tears...they took her out immediately to clean her up and dress her up before bringing her to me for sighting and kissing, then they took her back to the recovery room to my dh.

The stitching felt like forever as I was eager to go hold my baby. I started shivering slightly and the doc switched off the AC directly pointed at me..
Towards the end the touches didn't feel like tugging anymore, I started feeling a little pain and I told the anesthesiologist and she mentioned it was normal cos the spinal block was beginning to wear off as it was 1hr 30mins after it was given.

Finally stitching was completed and they inserted a pain relief medication in my anus that gave a metallic taste in my mouth and I was transferred from the operating table to the wheeled bed and moved to the recovery room.

ahhh...our cappo don run leave us oo.....congratulations to u and your family. may baby be a source of joy to the family.

BS Alert
Immediately I clocked 36 weeks I was ready to give birth.I just wanted to be done with pregnancy.Was walking long distances,ate pineapples did everything and nothing changed.At 39 weeks and some days I started having ideas of a lot of things I can do with my preggy tommy before giving birth.All of a sudden I changed from baby come fast oo to baby wait for me.
Fast forward to my appointment on Monday 23rd of November at 39+6.I thought I was going to have the normal less than five minutes talk with the doctor and he’ll tell me to come back next week.
The nurse checked my bp and it was 130/90.In my mind normal thing since I’m close to birthing.
When I saw the doctor he looked at my past bp and saw a gradual increase from 110/60 to 130/90.He checked himself and it was fluctuating between 130 and 140. He told me straight up that I’ll have to be induced on Wednesday.I wanted to joke around and I told him that he’ll induce me on Saturday that I don’t want Wednesday.He went to consult his oga and another Doctor and they all agreed to to induce me as soon as possible since I’m full term and they have diagnosed hypertension in pregnancy.
He told me I’ll be admitted immediately for observation that’s when everything became clear to me.
Admitted ke, I’ve not packed hospital bag,I’ve not done everything I planned to do.Called dh and mum and they said I should just obey the doctor I just signed that I’ll come back in the evening and I left.
The next day on Tuesday morning I was admitted, they came to talk to me about their induction process and did all the necessary tests and ctg and told me induction will start in the evening.
By 7 pm I was taken to the delivery suite to insert the foleys catheter.That was the first time somebody will put hand inside my jajaina to do anything. I cried and cried and cried it was so uncomfortable and painful.The doctor didn’t find my cervix early enough kept poking and poking, he said my cervix was posterior.He finally found it, inserted the catheter and told me till the next day and I should tell them if it drops.
When I got to my bed, I started having waist pain and in my mind it was just a mild effect of the procedure they just did. The waist pain changed to tommy pain and it was going and coming that’s when I knew I was having contractions.I downloaded contraction timer app and was timing it.It became annoying because the contractions were so short and it came like irregular times apart so I just stopped timing it and tried to sleep.
I couldn’t sleep throughout the night as I was having contractions.
7am on Wednesday morning I was taken back to the delivery suite.The catheter didn’t drop so I was worried my cervix didn’t dilate with all the contractions cos one nurse said if the catheter drops that means I’m just 2cm and mine didn’t drop but the doctor and nurse checked and said I was 6cm dilated, they didn’t expect it, they didn’t even know i was already having contractions cos I wasn’t showing I was in pain.
The doctor came, broke my water and she administered the first dose of oxytocin.Those two things started another wave of contractions.The pain just went from one to ten in no time.Haaa I started seeing stars. I was in so much pain I couldn’t even cry or shout.I wanted to remove the ctg strap attached to my belly, I pinched one nurse that wanted to use fetoscope to measure heartbeat,I didn’t allow anybody to touch me ,I was using my power bank to hit the metal of the bed, one nurse said if I continue like that I was going to spoil the bed.
Any nurse and Doctor that came in were surprised I was 6cm gone with contractions and I was not screaming.
Another dose of oxytocin was added by some minutes to ten and the pain became very intense I told the doctor I wanted to vomit, I don’t know what he was thinking or why he was slow but before he could do anything, I blessed the whole floor for them that was when he went to call the nurses.I kept having bouts of vomiting till there was nothing to vomit but it still kept coming.
I asked the nurse to examine me and she said I’m not due for another examination till 11:30 since they’ve broken my water to prevent infection. I just told her to check me like that, she was so eager like she was just waiting for me to consent cos she thought I would have progressed a lot.With the pains and the frequent contractions we all thought I have progressed oo but noo i was still 6cm by around 10am. I could see the look of worry on the nurses face.Then this my favorite nurse kept telling me it’s like that some times.That in no time I can just progress to 10cm that I shouldn’t even bother.She told me I was going to deliver there and she said she doesn’t even want me to have any tear or anything.
By this time my mum was in the room, the nurses told her to help me rub my waist,anytime the contractions hit like this I’ll hold her wrist very tight she had to ask if I wanted to break it infact at a point she had to leave me cos I could actually break it.I kept shouting at her to call dh that I wanted to speak to him.Thank God she didn’t call him sha if not I would have transferred aggression ehn.
By few minutes to 11am I started feeling the urge to poo, the nurses said I should poo on the bed that they’ll pack it, it’s their job.Then the nurse checked me again and said I was 7 cm,every body was already smiling except me sha. By now the pain was so much I just had to let it out and I started shouting, which sound did I not make.My mom has a video of me mooing like a cow, I kept saying God please, I’m sure God would have been wondering why I was begging him.One yeye doctor came and said the nurse should administer pcm.Thank God for the nurse that was there,she told me pcm was going to slow the whole process down and I should refuse if I want to give birth in time.She hid it in her pocket and told the doctor that she has administered it.The next thing I started feeling the urge to push told them and the nurses kept shouting don’t push,don’t push, everyone was begging me not to push.I wasn’t even pushing oo.The baby was pushing me badly and I was trying my best but I couldn’t help myself from pushing.The nurse told me to raise my leg and she saw blood, by now she was begging me not to push as blood before baby is not good.
She brought one drug from her pocket and added it directly to the drip line,that drug was magic cos in less than five minutes talk changed from don’t push to push at the next contraction with all your strength.
The first push, everyone was like you’re just shouting, you’re not pushing, the second push, the nurse was like you’re too tight I’m going to give you a small cut, i just felt a sharp cut and with the third push, I pushed with all my mind and strength like I was bringing out the biggest poo ever.And my 3.38kg princess came forth by 11:20 and she was put on top of me. The nurses took her up and asked me see what did you born before taking her away to clean(don’t know why they did that lol) The relief that came with pushing was just marvelous.I was given cytotec anal or vaginal route can’t remember and I started shivering but they said it’s normal. They injected lidocaine and stitched the cut side up.My antenatal Doctor came in by 11:30 for the second assessment and found out that I’ve born already,he was so surprised and said he just told the consultant that he was coming to check me and me I’ve given birth.
I was happy it was finally over till the nurse asked me to get up and pee in the toilet without sitting on the toilet seat.I tried to pee but instead of pee to come out it was blood that came rushing like tap and splashed everywhere.I was becoming worried but the nurse said it’s normal and it would stop and she kept asking if I was dizzy.She fed me and I was wheeled to the ward.
In the ward,my mum noticed the two pad I just wore were stained with blood already and she shouted to the nurse that took the delivery.She told me to lie down and open my leg and she wore gloves, before I could say jack, she already dug into my vjay, straight into my uterus to evacuate what ever was causing the bleeding.When she did that I think I died for a second before screaming the whole ward down.She did it again and said I have to be wheeled back to the delivery suite.There was so much blood and clots.
Back to the delivery suite now,she said the stitch site has loosened that the doctor didn’t do it well and since I was still bleeding she has to do the hand evacuation thing again.Dh was there encouraging me all I just wanted to do was to faint so I won’t feel the pain.She did it twice again.Loosened the former stitch,checked my cervix there was no tear so we didn’t even know the cause of the bleeding but they said it’s because my uterus didn’t contract back fast enough and blood has already clotted there.By the time she was done with cleaning,there was so much blood.She had to kee asking if I was dizzy but I wasn’t.She injected lidocaine and I was stitched again.She promised me that her stitching is very perfect and I won’t have problem .She asked me to pee on the bed and I kept peeing and the blood was reducing.By evening the bleeding now became normal.
I really went through a lot post delivery.I just want to thank God for preserving my life and thank God for my mum for insisting the bleeding was not normal.Thank God for the nurse that took the delivery for her fast actions.Thank God for leading me to this group cos I learnt a lot of things that helped me throughout pregnancy.This group is the real antenatal class(lol).Thank God for team November.Thanks for all the congratulatory messages,I hope it’s not too late to reply one by one.May God grant all waddling mamas safe and sweet delivery.
Moving on to newborn thread,even with all my experience see you all in 2021 ooo.

lol @ the bolded. that's the spirit. God bless you and our princess.

my God!!! i love birth stories. they keep me glued to my screen. God bless mama and baby.

pweetyoge:
B.S B.S. B.S

To everyone expecting birth story, apologies please! It is not easy to get a hold of our phones and just type immediately. I have been typing for two days now, Some like me were asked to rest properly after having some mild dizziness. But here we go!

It is actually my second baby, I had my son in 2018 December and I decreed with my mouth to be back by 2020 and God did it. I took in February and when first trimester hit me, for the first time I understood what morning sickness means.

For most of us who did not experience it at our first child, now I understand why those who do just can't relive the moment. The sickness was terrific, I kept on throwing up at every slight chance. I registered for antenatal at three months and everything was fine with me except for low pcv, which is not new to me honestly. I did everything to boost it, but each visit, it was still low.

At 8months, my husband was asked to donate blood, thankfully we were compatible. I did blood transfusion and was still doing my regular garden egg leaf, veggies and fruits. At 9momths, the doctor still insisting on blood transfusion, but on asking on the group about what I can do to boost my pcv, someone mentioned the leaf, hospital too far...funny my mom knows about the leaf and she requested we got it from the farm...I started taking it and amazingly it worked in two weeks.. doctor sef shock...

Fast forward to November, I was not in a hurry to Meet baby, because I had not finished shopping..I was too lazy to visit the market. I went to the market on the 10th and bought what I needed, on getting home..I knew in my mind, I had overworked myself. My body was telling on me. On the 13th midnight to 14th which is EDD I was not expecting to fall into labor, but when I could not sleep, I knew something was up but could not place it. I visited the restroom five times, I was purging..unlike my first child, I saw blood and mucous, this one was quite different. I had no idea until my waist started paining me, it would do that for minutes and then let me be. I quickly did Google search and found out it was contractions and I needed to time it. It started by 12 and I kept on managing it because I did not want to visit the hospital and be told it is false labour..
Omo, that thing hit me till 3.a.m...i just wore my clothes and told hubby let's go...we got to the hospital by 3.30a.m and the doctors were busy, they had a handful of two pregnant women in intense labour...he looked at me and said you don't look like you are in labor yet...and I was like because I am not shouting abii...they told me to hold on...once contractions hit me, I just jump on hubby and he rubs my back.. surprisingly I was not crying o...unlike my first child that I started crying from the house sef...by 5a.m they attended to me, because one of the patient has delivered while the other one was not dilating well enough...I was asked to come and lay down to be checked, but I said I needed to poo, but getting to the restroom again, I tried but couldn't..the nurse was like wait let me check you first... immediately I lay down ..plus the nurses o, doctor ooo they screamed n started running around to set drip and arrange my baby things...

I was just praying for an easy and painless delivery in my mind.. because my first labour ehh, with my low threshold of pain..I cried my eyes out. They fixed drip and that wicked pain hit me but surprisingly I was only shouting doc o doc o, help me....but no tears, he was like once it hits me I should push... without telling me sef, my body acted on its own o..started pushing the baby out like one very very hot hot urine...this time around, I did not say nurse I don't know how to push o...LoL. last last with three push, baby came out screaming with her tiny voice, I was later asked to cough n placenta came out...he stiched my little tear and then cleaned me up.

Then the rest they say is history. My surprise baby came out a girl. I am so thankful to God for answered prayers of a painless delivery, probably because for the first time I prayed that supernatural delivery book that one mama here shared with me. Omo, I can't believe I now have two kids o..even my mom is shocked and happy for me...lol because she fears for me with the way I hate drugs, injections and pain and my husband thinks I am a fish, but this time around, he hailed me that I was super strong for him.

So join me and thank God for blessing my family for the second time, and I pray the Lord who did same for me, will do same for all of us. Amen.

N.b Some things I learnt are, no two pregnancy are truly the same. Yes, experience matters too, I already know what each stage of labor is and I told myself to try and hold myself even tho it won't be easy..and then nothing prayers can not do, positive proclamation is very good, no matter what...I proclaimed easy, safe and painless delivery and God heard my worries and answered me.

I have never felt so energetic after child birth, I was so full of strength and I even started eating almost immediately and doing little things, which is not advisable, mumsy warned me to sleep and take plenty rest...thank God when I fainted, a doctor was close to quickly check up on me and do the needful. So please let us rest rest rest no matter how superwoman we feel...

Lastly I am signing out of team November 2020, the year of unbelievable things in the world, the Corona Year and the Lockdown order. But I am speaking positively to be back in another two years for my supernatural twins (Winks). May God answer us all and meet us at our point of need. Amen.

Let me dash off to Twitter and look for giveaway thread Biko...I need money like maddddd. Lol

Ermmm, see a picture of her jare.

I pray for you today that God will give you double for your trouble.. In Jesus name.

BFP
So, while dressing up for a training that fateful January morning, I realized my period was meant to have showed up. I made a mental note to pad up so it does not disgrace me at the training. Just as I was pulling out the pad, I saw one remaining pregnancy test strip in the bag (hubby and I actively tried two months before and after 6days of delayed period and false hope, aunt flo came in torrents; reason I still had an available test strip). I just decided to use this last one and dispose so I could put my mind to rest. Tested, placed on top of the pack on the table and went ahead to finish up dressing. One look at the test strip and I saw two huge lines staring at me... Jesus! My very first BFP... Wao... Was I really prepared for this? Next was to call hubby and we both called my mom... yen yen yen (you know the drill...the oohhs and ahhhhs and do's and don'ts). Blood test and abdominopelvic ultrasound were all positive with the good news.

First Trimester
Mehn, first trimester came with lots of nausea and tiredness, no vomiting though... I could only take sprite and fanta for a whole day. On some other days, I craved something and went all the way to find it on such days, no matter the stress ooo. One time like that, my craving was sniffing mint money, lol... Hubby had to change money to mint ni, I go just arrange am for purse, small time, I go comot am to inhale... chei God! Aside some of these silly things, first trimester was somewhat uneventful and I commenced ANC at 10wks +6days (EDD: 11th September, 2020).

Second trimester
Second trimester came with spitting which stopped after a while. Then came the excruciating pains of myoma degeneration... kai... ended up in the hospital and there started my journey into using opiods to stop the pains when they start. This was about the 18th week and that was when I was told I was going to have a princess. Appetite improved and I rested the most part. When we were about rounding off, my feet started swelling, though no other symptom of preeclampsia was on the radar. So I just cruised past.


Third Trimester
I was quite expectant. I actually felt I would port to August sincerely cos my bump was big sha, at least compared to my slim frame. I finished packing my bags by week 32. Eh he, thirst from nowhere... I was drinking water on a regular, each trip to quench my thirst saw me downing nothing less than two chilled satchet water and in a day, I could finish 10-12 satchets of water or more. Frequency in urination and insomnia started full time... I was so jealous watching Hubby sleep most nights, lol.
Anyway, August jejely passed me by, so my porting dream died a natural death. Hehe!


Labour and Delivery
Woke up on Sunday 6th September, 2020 about 5am and realized I was having contractions at 39wks + 4days. the contraction timer app on my phone showed it was somewhat regular initially, then just became irregular most times. So by 6am, woke Hubby up and we went for a long walk. Came back, rushed and made food but nausea could not let me eat well and having vomited the week before also while eating Sunday rice, I was scared of vomiting again(I usually do not vomit).We had some errands to run so we set out but with my bags in the car. I insisted on a brief stop at the hospital first before we started our wakawaka. Got there, my cervix could only admit the tip of the finger... yuck... on top this discomfort! Okay ooo. Sha, show started dropping after the examination. I was advised not to travel far though and to come in if anything changes.
By the time we were leaving the first place to the second that evening, na better pain dey worry me though contractions were still irregular. By 9pm, I could not bear it any longer, had my bath and left with Hubby to the hospital. Brethren, I was just 2cm gone... oh Lord! I sha told them I rather stay the night than go back home and was admitted for observation. Had contractions throughout the night, could not sleep... Hubby was there all through (God bless that man everyday!) rubbing my back and praying. I practically had to beg him to get some sleep which he succumbed to almost at dawn. I was hopeful that we should have made progress as per dilation by Monday morning (7th September, 2020). My dears, morning came and I was just about 4cm. Dear Lord! Infact, contractions stopped just before that examination. My obstetrician just told me he was going to augment labour... haaa, me sef know how painful that stuff can be just by observing my own patients... I just laughed and told him I was not prepared for it. He just said he'd send for me later. Men and brethren, I was sent for ooo and misoprostol tabs inserted... within 15mins, the real madness started... there was no breathing space, the contractions were just hitting me back to back... no position could make it better... I lay down on the hospital floor, knelt down, walked on all fours, lai lai... the tears started flowing, I was shaking the hospital bed eh... Christ! I remember telling my lovely husband he should not touch me again, to avoid slap... next moment, I was apologizing, lol. I saw myself going into another realm... just told hubby to go tell the doctor to section me. My doctor sent for me, I was taken to the labour room, behold, I was 8cm gone within one hour. Next thing, these people set up an infusion and added oxytocin to it... I just asked my doctor "Chief, do you want to kill me?" Kai... poo catch me by force, but I had pooed twice way earlier that morning and there was actually nothing to poo again, lol. Within 15mins, I was fully dilated, they were encouraging me to push but nah, at that point, I was exhausted... very exhausted. I just could not. I only kept saying "please section me"... my obstetrician begged, encouraged, said he could see baby's head... I just could not... I was not seeing anymore, I just wanted to sleep and I begged them to let me sleep. So I was taken to the theatre and knocked off with general anesthesia (I travelled to the US and was performing surgery on someone sef, lol). When I started coming to, I was being stitched up. Over time, my eyes became less heavy and I could open them well and communicate coherently. By the second day, I was walking around though the pains sha. My princess weighed 3.7kg at birth (2.7kg was estimated fetal weight on my 36wks obstetric ultrasound...I was hoping las las, we no go pass 3.2kg at birth...for where?)
Currently still healing... baby colics be keeping us awake at night... but we are surviving.

Baby dust to all TTC mothers!
Bye team September. God will make it easy for all of us both in childbirth and in upbringing. Amen!

cc mayluv... BS submitted!

Sorry about the pain and welcome to the fibroid club.
Just take painkillers (paracetamol or extra strength tylenol depending on the severity of the pain) and you'd be fine. But if the pain gets too much youd need to go to the hospital.

Good morning mums and happy Sunday. Please i need ideas and suggestions. Two days ago, i was feeling a sharp pain at the right hand side of my stomach, at first i thought it was round ligament pain but it became very serious. So i decided to go for a scan the next day. We did the scan and saw a fibroid about 5cm big in that location.
Please mummies, i am I in pain. Is there any advice? I an 16 weeks gone.

been pushing it...morning sickness had a hold on me,it was terrible. but thank God i am getting better.
