My BS
I gave birth to my cute prince on the 7th of February. Scan dates were 2nd ,8th,14th, According to LMP and gynae 17th.
My pregnancy journey was very very smooth, I was a workaholic oo, coupled with the fact that I was running my MSc field work in the west and hubby lives in delta state, so I was travelling once in 2 months.
I show the so called *show* on the 5th(Sunday evening), I just told my husband and he was like that means baby will soon come Ba? I said no joor till the following week ooo( my bro and dads birthday 15th and 17th respectively.
On monday the 6th I woke up early to go shopping at a village market with a family friend, left home with hubby at past 6am, got to market and bought all foodstuffs to last for 2months. I was doing fine until I got back home around 1pm. You needed to see me working oo, blended all blendables, cooked, swept, dusted, mopped, washed clothes. My neighbour was like madam take am easy ooo. I said I just want to get all done with and rest.
Fast forward to about 3am on the 7th( Tuesday), I started feeling backpains, woke hubby up and he kept massaging, he was like isn't this contractions, I said no joor na the stress I went tru day before, we slept back ooo.
Around past 4am, it was coming on and off, I couldn't sleep again, dh said let's go to hospital na im I say hospital kwa, oga chill na just back pain( olodo like me). He said we should pack hospital bag, we did oo, I cooked, we ate and left for hospital but I purposely didn't carry hospital bag( just carried the pad comfits alone) but left the key by our staircase in case anything happens. So we sha got to hospital by past 7am.
The nurse and doc on nighgt shift did normal check up and for the first time VE (that shit is so discomforting) mheen I was declared 5cm gone, Haaa 5cm ke Oluwa oooo, na so dem start to do registrations ooo, checking my file, called matron and my gynaecologist that them patient don land ooo. Hubby was happy but had to leave for work.
I was checked into the observation room by past nine, see me chatting with my bestie on phone ooo, nurse said hmmm you go soon hear am. Sincerely I was very calm, called my neighbour and family friend to inform them to bring my bag, they were surprised.
Nurse did her own VE and said 6cm , my gynea came past 10am did his own VE and said 7cm also broke my water, that was when I started feeling correct contractions ( 6-7 every 10mins matron came in past 11 and did her own oo, 8cm. With each contraction I was told to breathe in and out, I was doing this well and holding on to the hospital bed, I wasn't shouting ooo. But I kept tugging at the two nurses assigned to me( they were massaging my back and d oda monitoring heartbeat). Matron came in and joined too, making three pple ooo. At about 12pm I told them I can't take d pain oo, that if they don't want me to shout and cry make dem call my gynae I wan do CS oooo. They just started rebuking it saying am their first this morning and going into the theatre is not their plan oo, oh they kept praising and encouraging me, did another VE and gbaam 9cm. I changed into wrapper, they helped me drain my urine and supported me walking into the delivery room.

They prayed and started setting up all necessary stuffs while I laid sideways on the bed with one nurse massaging my back, at a point I felt like a truck just walked over me, I shouted and was moaning oooo, then i kept on saying * JESUS I NEED YOUR GRACE AND STRENGTH*, oh!the second nurse then said I should start saying our Winners Chapel Declarations after her(she's my church member, got to know that day).
Some minutes to 1pm, I was fully dilated and taught how to push looking at my tummy after 5attempts my prince came out screaming the whole place oooo, weighed 3.0kg but the matron gave me episiotomy ooo, imagine she said cause she felt I was tight, doc said she shouldn't have sha.
That was when I cried ooo, the matron hugged me and said for my age and tribe I was strong chai but I knew deep down it was Jesus that helped me as I kept imagining him on the cross taking away all my pains and I tried staying positive that I will birth this baby alive and well.
Boaz Oluwatobiloba is two weeks today, he's healthy and I am back on my feet( I went shopping naming ceremony things myself).
Wishing other February Mamas safe delivery and the entire house Smooth preggy journey.

Kittana:
Thanks jare. No mind the big head doc. The tears were very tiny and stitching was done sharperly like 30mins sha. I wonder how anyone can say an episiotomy is better than a normal tear. Maybe my own is very different sha. I'm healed as I post this and ready to go again...na joke I de ooo.
I wish you super fast and uneventful dilation like mine in Jesus name. Amen.

Make sure na joke u dey do ooo or nah that student doc go see u on top. Lolz

[quote author=Kittana post=53886528]Sooo I figured I owe u my people, a more complete version of my BS...

Prt 1;

DH had become anxious to see LO immediately we hit the 36th week. He just couldn't fathom why the much talked about "9months", isn't simply 36weeks. And because he's heard from somewhere about the benefits of a good kpekus in late pregnancy, he lobbied for it every night, immediately we hit the 36th.

I had experienced terrible contractions one night (the first of the two nights I gave in to DH) during the 38th week, after the do, so much that I started doing everything afterwards, to avoid DH. Turning in early, taking a shite for longer than normal and stuff like that.

Anyway, it so happened that I decided to give DH a taste of the cookie again on the 40th week, and as expected, I started having those contractions again. I felt they will taper off like before tho, but no. They continued into the morning and made me decide to visit the hospital to complain about the latest trend of having painful "Braxton Hick's" contractions.

My landlady, who's a retired ER nurse was phoned by DH to come give me a quick check at daybreak and I heard her whispering to DH something about my pelvis being too tight.... Didn't care what that might mean as I'm used to her always seeing and suggesting the downsides of everything. Instead, I tried to concentrate on making it through every episode of the increasingly painful contractions as she asked if my water had broken or if I've seen the show. Told her no and what I suspected was happening, but she adviced that I carried my hospital bags along to the hospital anyway.

So out, I brought my bags, then made to take a quick shower, when i became aware of the wetness down below. Took a swipe with my left palm and there it was; the show. Mine was not catarrh-ish at all. It was blood and clear water, like spotting before or after menses. Had the shower and announced that I had indeed seen it and off we drove to the clinic.

Got to the hospital, went straight to the labour ward while DH sorted out my file at records and in that ward, was a nurse, just parambulating. I was confused by her. I greeted her, she responded, was looking at me, I was looking back at her and I just couldn't figure out what or how she wanted me to say what I wanted. I felt my very pregnant belly and the fact that I'm in the labour ward should say it all, but I guess she wanted to see some action. And some action she did see, as with the next contraction, I couldn't help but grab the table and got down on my knees. That was when she understood I did not come to snap picture and started calling her fellow nurses in another room to do that and this.

She had me lie on a bed, checked for dilation and asked how many kids I've had. Told her I'm a ftm and she said it's a wonder I was that calm at 4cm gone. She left me then and I heard my landlady asking if I was being sent back home and she was told I'd be staying.

There is no one description for Labour. It's every pain and no pain ever imagined. Everyone has to experience it firsthand and tell their own version. Keeping in mind that I've always been able to bear a good amount of pain, I'll just say - Labour is Braxton Hicks...only badass. It's BH contractions but with a fish hook tugging down on your uterus and jajaina for too long in every episode.

So there I was, oohing and ahhing but on the low. Didn't raise my voice at all and every once and again, the nurses would pass by and hail me, saying I really was calm for a first time mum. In the other cabin was a screaming woman who from the nurses' discussions, was a third time mum and had been there since the night before, but had only progressed to 4cm as well. She was plugged to a fetal monitor 'cos the whole ward could hear her babe's HB and a somewhat insensitive doc, was threatening to leave her 'cos she said his fingers were hurting her.

Hubby came in with my bags and began talking about the blood donation we didn't get to do and I asked him not to mention it to anybody just yet. I knew he was uncomfortable with my state and made to zap. I allowed him as I wasn't in a chitchat mood myself and asked him to say a prayer or two for me, while he's outside.

So there I was, fighting through each contraction, when a student doc carried his big book to me and started asking plenty jamb questions and penning down replies. How I got pregnant, DH's job, if I take alcohol and plenty stuff I can't remember now jare. Then a real professional came to check dilation, said I was 7cm gone, left for about an hour and returned to break my water. I stilled myself for the "breaking", only to be left wondering if he really did anything.

After the breaking tho, the pain kinda intensified...But I would say the real torture in labour (from my experience), is not directly from the pain per se, but the span which it lasts. Every episode might really not be more intense than the previous, but because of the shorter gaps between each, you're left with not enough time to catch your breath.[/quote
mama I hail u oooo..... I don give u d chairlady for kpekusing ministry. I don't knw how me go do ooo becox na once in a week things I dey ooo(dh not in town) but i pray he will be much around during our baby's delivery.

glory b to God Almighty!!! my prince charming made his grand entrance yesterday oo through VD, he weighs 3.5kg. I am a mother now!! team February kwenu!!

Congrats dear. U are now a mother indeed

Kittana:
Prt 3; (sorry this is coming a lil late, tryna post pics)

So there they were sha, doing whatever it was they were doing in another room while I watched and said a lil prayer for my babe. And as designed by God, baby Zara Akuchukwu, weighing 3.2kg cried out eventually at about 11a.m ish. Phewwww!

Then it came to stitching the tears and that student doc carried his mouth again and was telling the professional right in front of me, that he has been denying him opportunities to stitch people and that he wanted to start with me...Na hin I change am for am oo. Told him to shift very far from me because if the anaesthestic wears off, he would not like the other me. So the pro did the stitching and.....na so we waka oo.

We were discharged on saturday, 2days later, because they wanted to watch me and babe from the thursday I gave birth until friday, and then the docs disappeared on us on friday 'cos I heard they don't discharge on weekends (imagine!)...but eventually got discharged by a student doc on saturday, because I made a fuss.

Wanted to post pics of baby Zara and me buh NL no gree, so later later.

I wish every February mama still waddling, safe safe deliveries.

Mama this ur BS sweet ooo. Ur baby is a fine gal ....Kisss congrats

Prayer Monday
For mamas about to deliver, culled from Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize. (If u haven't read the book yet, warra u wairin for?)

"Father as I look forward to delivery of my sweet baby, having enjoyed a blessed pregnancy of full duration, I thank you in advance for your word, your blessings, your peace, your presence, and your divine intervention. I pray and confess that my body and my baby will cooperate with perfect, supernatural delivery, that there will be no problems of any kind. I also believe and declare that my labour will be quick, short, easy and painless. I believe and declare that I'll have time to get to the proper place with the proper help.
Baby, in Jesus name, you move and place yourself in perfect position for birth, head first, not breech, and face down. You rotate properly as God intended you to. I command the umbilical cord to be in proper position as well. Body, you function perfectly during this time. I have perfect peace and I'm relaxed. All fear must go and stay gone for I have God, who is perfect love and casts out all fear. My body will not be tensed but relaxed, at peace. I speak specifically to all parts of my body to come in line with God's word and will.

Father I believe that at the proper time for delivery, my water will break and my uterus will do its job and begin to contract and push my baby down the birth canal and out into our loving arms and lives. I command my cervix to dilate fully to 10cm, to be elastic and stretch. To the uterus, vagi.na, perineum, vulva, as well as my cervix, you relax, be elastic and stretch without causing pain or any complications as you accommodate the birth of my baby. I declare in Jesus name that I will not tear or need an episiotomy. Father, pain is under the curse of the law, and your word says that Jesus bore our pain, so I have a short, easy, pain free delivery in Jesus name; therefore I won't need any anaesthetic of any kind. Thank you Lord in Jesus name. Amen"
Ex. 1:19 ; 1John 4:16,18 ; Matt 8:17 ; Deut 27

Amen ooooo. How are u doing dear?
