[sub][/sub] Akorkor:Thanks dear.The umbilical cord tied the baby's neck and it was so tight that the baby couldn't breath.It was more painful when I discovered twas the same man that was telling me to take it easy and be relaxed when my contractions started outside the Dr's office.He was so nice that I never believed he knew his wife was expecting a still birth.I was in pains too but I ignored my pains a and started helping her get whatever she wanted that she couldn't get because she lost so much blood, so she was so dizzy and helpless. I started telling her how I lost my pregnancy last year September and this year September am carrying my baby. As for Nigerians Dr God pass them,especially the young Drs wey dey sag their trousers. My MIL had to call their complaint line to report. |
MY BIRTH STORY part 2. When I finally got discharged I started sitting on hot water,i mean the type they use on chickens to remove hairs.See me opening my legs wide so that the heat can penetrate not knowing I was digging my grave.On the 5th day been Sunday I decided to summon up courage to look at my episiotomy because I made up my mind not to look at it because of fear. So I snapped it and did not understand why it was like that. To me I felt that was how it was supposed to be.So I decided to send the picture to DH with the intention of making him feel bad or have a clue of what i went through .He was like babe your episiotomy is open o.I started laughing because I felt he wanted to criticise the work of a Nigerian Dr as he never liked the idea of me giving birth here. He got serious and started using some medical terms to explain still I wasn't understanding what he was saying .He said I should rush back to the hospital to get checked to know if I needed to be re stitched. I almost pooed on my body.After all the pains I went through?? I just controlled myself and waited for my MIL to come back so I can show her too.I later showed my MIL, she was speechless so she called our Dr in calabar and explained to him,that one too said I needed to be re stitched na there wey I bust cry o,i started thinking of those instruments.I called my Dr too,he said there was no need to be re stitched, I became confused o. He was like I know your scared that your jajaina will be loose and your husband will not enjoy you again.That was the same thing my sister told me when she was singing hot water sit bath. She kept saying please use hot water so that your body will close back and your husband will feel you well. The next day been immunisation I got prepared and went back to the hospital. My MIL took baby for immunisation while I went for my own check up.Those nurses almost made me mad.The nurse that discharged indicated that my baby had been immunised and even wrote a wrong date on the card.They almost did not want to immunise my baby because they said he's been given.I talk tire that am not a dunce of slowpoke that will not know or see when they were immunising him.No be small confusion that they even stopped attending to other women because of us.I was just trying to control my anger.Only for them to take it to the lady that discharged me she immediately saw it and started saying that she made mistake abi person no dey make mistake?? Imagine after all the embarrassment especially as I was a FTM they believe we don't know anything. I went back to the Dr he checked me and told me I needed to be re stitched, tears rolled down my cheeks. He gave me my bill I just told him to go ahead.Mehn see him slicing my skin na,he gave me anaesthesia but I was still feeling the pains. Before he could finish scraping out the old wound the anaesthesia stopped working so I started feeling the main pains.I couldn't hold it again o I started shouting and begging him to gimme another anaesthesia I was given another one yet I could still feel the needle piercing through my skin.My only consolation was my son,that was what I was using to cool my brain.When he finally finished I couldn't move o,my jajaina felt like I just got butchered. I managed to enter th car but couldn't close my legs. I was just crying all through till we got home.I couldn't breastfeed my baby,i couldn't even carry or look at him I was just crying and asking God to take away the pains. My MIL fed baby with NAN because I couldn't breastfeed and I had no milk sef. Twas more painful because DH isn't around to pet and rub my back.But I give God the Glory for everything. LO got circumcised on Friday. We are doing great and fine. May God help this our Nigeria hospitals.See the way my baby was abandoned by the window. All the cold, to the extent that rain even poured on him because they left their window open while they were gossiping. I started shouting MY BABY!!!!!!!!!! They carried him and even had the mind to say Madam dey there o no stand up take care of your baby.Meanwhile I couldn't even stand or sit because of pains and twas still dem that said I shouldn't carry him.I couldn't hold back the tears,i was just wishing American embassy gave me visa,atleast my baby would have been well taken care of and myself too.See us begging nurses to check us na,they were just doing eye service of walking up and down yet wasn't doing anything. When you complain they will just ask if your a FTM if you say yes then whatever your feeling is normal without even taking a second look at you or the baby.Their concern is money.The delivery fee doesn't cover for anything at all. I practically paid for everything including syringe, hand gloves etc meanwhile I had all those things in my hospital bag but dunno how everything disappeared that I had to start buying them again.We paid for 3days but only stayed one night just because they needed space for new people.And they don't refund or even talk to you nicely o.The money we spent was more than the delivery fee.I thank God my baby and I are doing fine.We had to do the circumcision at GH because i wasn't aware I was supposed to book ahead and nobody told us even at antenatal. So all the spaces had been booked till the 3rd week and by then my baby will be one month plus.I just wonder why they don't give these babies anaesthesia because that pain no be here,i practically joined my baby in crying o.My MIL was laughing at me.I thank God it was successful, and the ring came out on the 3rd day.Vigilante is real o but the joy in holding your baby is priceless. God that did it for me will do it for all the ATC mamas. |
Please mamas am very sorry for posting my BS here. Na mistake o |
BIRTH STORY part 1 I started having painful contractions on my antenatal day, that was on the 19th of September. When it was my turn to see the Dr, I couldn't even hold myself again because of pains.So I was taken to the labour ward to be checked. I got checked and I was 2cm.I was kinda disappointed sha because I was expecting like 6 cm.I was asked to go home because I wasn't fully in labour.When I got home, I started doing serious exercise o because I told God I wanted to see my baby before Wednesday that week.I climbed stairs, did my squatting then took a hot bath so that my mucus plug with show.Luckily for me I saw small blood and mucus plug,i was so happy o.I couldn't wait for the next day.I no fit sleep o,i was just dreaming of carrying baby whenever I close my eyes small.The next day I got prepared, put my bags in the car,then I decided to wait small for the contractions to be stronger.I left the house around 11 am,got to the hospital then I got checked again still 2cm. I called my MIL and told her about the situation at hand, she suggested I got induced. I was so scared because of the pains I normally hear it causes. I summoned up courage and went back to the Dr and asked if I could get induced ,he said no but if I want he will admit me.I insisted and he started writting plenty drugs. I started talking to my LO that he should come out that I did not want to be induced.Since I wasn't with cash I decided to wait for our driver to go home and get enough cash ,while I was waiting the contractions got stronger o,so I was taken to the ward, I changed into the labour cloth. I got checked and was almost 4cm.i was so happy because I was going to see my LO in no time.So I decided to walk round the hospital, I entered one shop to buy snacks,na so I see garri and groundnut o.I begged the gal to get me a cup or plate that I needed to sip garri like mad,they all started laughing at me o.I no even send dem.When I finished I couldn't walk o,the contractions were so strong that I felt I was going to give birth right there. I finally managed to climb back to my ward.I got checked again was about 6cm.The Doctors were impressed that I was dilating well.I was still managing to chat and do video call with DH. I was later moved to the next ward around 7pm.I met another woman there. We were almost the same cm.Na there the drama start o.Eeeeeew see me lifting hospital bed and table because of pains o.One Hajia came to keep us company. She asked one young Dr to check me,the guy was like what if he checked and I was 2 cm in yoruba, I quickly rejected it, the started laughing that I understand yoruba. The Hajia started teaching me breathing techniques, my sisters e no work for me o.The only thing that helped me was sitting down but I was hiding to sit down o, when I see nurses coming I will quickly lay on my left. I joined my room mate to shower not knowing that was the beginning of my pains.To walk back to my bed was war.I finally managed to sit on my bed,i was so cold and started regretting why I took my bath but I guess twas the cold water that helped me progress faster.The Dr broke my water,mehn the water plenty o.My sisters labour is real o.I started looking for scissors to vet my braids.Me and my room mate turn prayer warriors o,when I pray she go dey echo amen vice versa and believe me I wasn't even conscious of what I was saying but I was just been prophetic .I told God I wanted to see my baby before 2am.My room mate was checked and was told she needed to be augmented eeeeeeew,i became scared because I was expecting same thing. I refused them checking me o because I was tired of plenty hand entering my jajaina. I nearly fought with one idiotic Dr.I wonder what people like that are doing in the female ward especially with pregnant women in labour. He's so rude and arrogant am sure if I mention his name here mamas that used my hospital will know him.I have never seen someone with that kinda of fat fingers and the way he will be shouting and insulting you to open leg as if it's his right abi he's looking for his licence inside your jajaina.I told him not to check me that I needed another person to check me, he got angry and started insulting me that if he doesn't check me he will send me out of the hospital what ![]() For your papa hospital I finally allowed him check me as I noticed other nurses signalling to me that I should calm down and do it for my baby.That was the second time he was checking me that day. The First time he literally pushed me out because according to him I wasn't cooperating and that he's a busy man that got no time for time wasters like me.I just look am look am smile because he no sabi who him dey tell trash, I for show am say no be only am chop expired igbo.But I was more concerned about my baby.The pains no be here o,my room mate started shouting and begging for C/S me I was shouting and begging for epidural o.None of the Drs answer us sef,except the Hajia that was telling me that epidural is waste of money because it doesn't work. I started having the urge to poo,i became scared because I thought the garri I sipped Has started purging me.I manage to use the toilet only to discover that the way the poo was coming wasn't normal, I felt heavy poo trying to come out, I quickly jump up when I realised it could be the baby coming out.I went back to my bed but the poo came again this came I screamed out. I was just shouting that I want to poo o.The nurses came to my bed and checked me.They gave signal to the Hajia.They started running to arrange my bed in the other room.I was later moved there.My room mate started begging me not to go that I should stay with her.I met another lady there that have been disturbing the whole hospital with noise. Almost all the Drs on duty were with her guiding her to push with all the instruments. I felt the urge to push but wasn't strong enough.The Hajia really helped. She said I should push that she could see my baby's head Eeeewww that was all I needed to push but the contractions still wasn't strong.They tried fixing pitocin or so for me, the thing no gree enter my body o.All the nurses tried adjusting it still e no work. The lady beside me finally pushed out her baby. I started glorifying God because that woman really suffered with contractions not knowing twas a still birth she gave birth and that was my first time of seeing a dead newborn physically .The cord was too tight on the baby's neck.All this while I did not know the baby was dead even the lady did not know but her husband and her mum knew.The Drs refused telling her after doing scan the previous evening so that she could coperate and push out the baby.They started telling me to push so that I won't kill my baby Eeeewww fear grip me o.I started begging them to help me push my baby out for me.I later pushed out My baby at 2:20am and wasn't induced, imagine if I was induced how the pain would have been. I was just so relieved and happy. Almost immediately I heard my room mate push out her baby from the next room.I was so happy for her too but very sad that the lady beside me couldn't hold her baby after all the pains and pregnancy stress.I started consoling her and almost crying with her because the baby was so cute and twas a boy with plenty hairs.I later got stitched. |

peggygee:Mama please go back to the hospital let them check you abeg.Did you say hot bath ? Just hope it's not has hot as mine sha.The air sound and loose kpekusing was the main reason why I rushed back to the hospital to be re stitched. I dunno about uda and hot drink sha but my major concern is for you to go back to the hospital and be thoroughly checked.Make sure you tell them about the air sound .I don't mean to scare but I don't want you to go through the pains I went through. It's only Dr that's the answer to ur questions. |

Liftedhands:I understand ur point but am human and believe me I have the right to frown at any comment that doesn't go well with me.I was in dying need of helpful answers last night.I was even surprised that twas only 3mamas that answered me,but that's not even my problem.I called my Dr before I posted that my question, he said I can go back to the hospital wen the contractions becomes unbearable and regular,just that I needed more answers from sabi mamas here.Or maybe my questions are always not important. I honestly felt embarrassed last night.You dnt know how much I believe in this group especially as a FTM.Anyways I appreciate the fact that you were trying to making me laugh but sorry I still don't find it funny.Well no problem sha,mo ti Ko gbon Thanks. |

I started begging him that I don't want to born that I wasn't ready o,and this is me that av praying that I want to port to August o.Wen I got the labour ward, the young Dr say make I comot my pant o,hmmmm I just remembered all the experiences wey mamas here dey share about VE, so I form big girl na, closed my eyes and before I knew it he was done in less than 2mins.Twasnt painful sha just that I was feeling uncomfortable with small pains.I wasn't in labour sha, but baby is coming very soon.
