Captain Sugah (from my photoshoot) and Ayomide (a.k.a Smiley... I have quite a lot of pix of him smiling but this is my favourite)...............signing out! Modified. Pix removed |
Post BS. I was stitched up and sent to the post-op station for monitoring. My BP was checked every couple of minutes and the nurse kept asking if I could move my toes. But I was more interested in seeing my baby and dh so I kept asking her where they were ![]() Finally when I could move my toes, I was moved to the post-natal ward with my dh. I was quite hungry but could only chew on ice block cubes.. I kept telling my dh that it tasted like icecream the guy just give me side eyes. When Ayomide was brought to me, the hunger disappeared. I held my baby in my arms for the first time, that feeling is best experienced! I pray every woman experiences this in her lifetime. I was advised to formula feed him since my BM wasn't flowing yet. He passed meconium and was feeding ok. Next morning the nurse comes to help me with a sponge bath and I realized I could stand upright without any pains, amazing! Ayomide was circumcised under anesthesia, he was even sleeping when they brought him back. My breastmilk started flowing after I used a breast pump and by the next day the breasts were so engorged I felt like I had been punched in the breasts. But I got a tip from a wonderful mama here to put cold cabbage in my bra, and that worked. Ayomide and I were discharged to go home as we were both perfectly ok. And we have been doing great since then, it can only be by God's special grace. Motherhood is an amazing journey especially when one has a support system like we do on this thread and in the newborn thread . I thank all the mums who take out time from their busy schedules to answer questions and provide solutions to problems. God bless you all. To the waddling mamas, I wish you all safest supernatural delivery. To the ATC mamas, delay is not denial. I pray God grants your hearts desires. |
Birth story. My Obgyn scheduled my CS for 39weeks but warned that if I experienced any signs of labor before 39 weeks wether false labor or not, I should report to the labor and delivery ward immediately...so I begged Ayomide to stay put until 39weeks cos I hadn't finished shopping yet . At my last ANC visit at 38weeks i was given an antibacterial soap and was given the following instructions:1- soap is to be used the night before and the morning of the surgery. I was told to lather my body from neck down with the soap, leave for 10 mins and rinse off....this was to be done twice the night before and once in the morning. It was supposed to help prevent infection 2- not shave like 3 days before...same infection prevention 3- not eat or drink anything after midnight 4- arrive at the hospital at 6:30am The night before: I was sooo excited and anxious i couldn't stay still. I packed my hospital bag and started cleaning kitchen my DH had to chase me to bed. Managed to sleep for 1hr before someone from naija decided to flash my phone at 2am .... I couldn't go back to sleep. Dh and I got ready, prayed, got a taxi and headed for the hospital. Got to the hospital and the security man that was meant to check me in was trying to convince me to go to the emergency room so they can use wheelchair to take me upstairs... hian! I told him it wasn't necessary mbok, I wasn't in labor and na lift i go still enter go up..no be say i go climb stairs. Checked in at the nurses station and when I said I was checking in for CS, the nurse goes "Oh lord, when it rains it pours". So I knew we were plenty wey dey born that day ![]() Settled into my delivery room, a baby monitor was strapped on my tummy and an IV inserted in my arms. People from different units would come in, ask questions, tell me what they would do and have me sign.... urine and blood samples were taken and I was meant to go to the theatre by 8am. Unfortunately for me they had 3 emergencies so mine was pushed to number 4. I was angry, hungry, anxious and tired. My obgyn (who happens to be different from my surgeon) came to check on me and advised that I either try to move around or my dh should apply pressure to my toes to prevent blood clot. Finally at 2:30 the surgeon's assistant came to take me to the theatre. Spinal block was done and I laid down. They put up the clothes to cover my body so I couldn't see them but could hear them. My DH came in and sat by my face so we were gisting. I started shivering and warm towels were placed around my head and upper body and the shivering stopped. Then the anesthesiologist told me that the baby would be out soon...that I was going to feel pressure on my chest due to the suction. I felt the pressure and my dh tells me 'he's out'. Oh! Then I heard him cry, and my tears flowed freely. Oh what joy! The neonatal doctor brought him to our face for like a second and took him to go clean him up. From then I dint hear what the doctors were saying again, I was just hearing my baby cry and that was all that mattered to me. |
My Birth story comes in 3 phases. Pre-birth story. Sometime in 2009 I noticed my menstrual flow suddenly increased. But it wasn't until 2010 I was diagnosed with fibroids when I went to the hospital to complain of some really bad abdominal pain. The gyne I met gave me 3 options 1: do nothing and just monitor the growth. 2: use lupron injections to shrink the fibroids but with a warning it might grow back bigger than before 3: Surgery to take out the fibroids. I decided to go with option 1 since I was Not married or ready to get pregnant. Watching and managing the fibroids included trying herbal"fibroid shrinking" supplements (fibroidclear) for about 3 months, drinking shakeoff for some days (that shit tested my gag reflexes mehn), health changes ( removing carbs and sugar from my diet and exercises) and doing scans to check the growth/shrinkage of it. But every time I did a scan i get same statement from different doctors "When are you getting married madam? You need to take the fibroids out before you can get pregnant. I continued managing the fibroids until I got married in 2013 and only issues i had was extremely heavy flow and long periods (usually bleed until CD13). The plan was to go for surgery in January 2014 and my doctor scheduled for me to do a pre-op HSG in December so the plan was to report to the hospital when AF stops in December.... but the devil tried to frustrate himself. I bleed for 6months straight and all efforts to stop the bleeding seemed not to work. Thankfully, in the 5th month of the bleeding i got referred to another OBGYN who prescribed Lupron injections for 2 months and it stopped the bleeding. Alleluia!!! The myomectomy was uneventful, surgery went well and I had no complications and upto 30 different sized masses where taken out. TTC'd for a while and got pregnant when I least expected (my former TTC sistas know my story)... reported to the hospital and the first thing my doc says is 'hope you know you would have to undergo CS for delivery, because you are at risk of uterine rupture. So basically I had prepared my mind for the CS from the beginning. My pregnancy was very stressfree, no MS no spitting, no constipation, no swollen feet or nose... absolutely nothing. |

maureensylvia:Thanks my dear. Happy new month and independence too... Amen to your prayers |
PresVA:Congrats dear. God bless your prince |
fruitfulhome:I had to go and search for the initial post. Well, you DO need blood supplement all through your pregnancy and even while nursing....so her statement is quite incorrect. Eating vegetables is a substitute for blood supplement |
Iamdipson:Pahdin? I don't understand your post. What do you want from this thread of pregnant/nursing women? |
Jina24:Congrats mama. God bless your lil princess. |
Emerald22:Welcome to team September mama. May your princess bring you and yours joy unlimited. |
nneejima:There is usually a 'brand' pharmacy at every shoprite mall in any city. Enugu has a shoprite, so go there and find out which pharmacy they have in the mall |
evamum:Tchai! Why did I not see your msg before I ordered mine? ![]() |
rofemiguwa:Thank you |
