Birth Story
I was initially supposed to be TeamJune2018. I got pregnant in October 2017 shortly after my first son turned 1 in September. I was so mad and sad that I got pregnant again. I swore so hard at my husband saying he had derailed my career plans and all that, because I thought I had my career and family plans figured out and was just not ready for another one. The man was just laughing at me. Eventually after a few days I came to terms with the pregnancy and I apologized for being so bitchy, apologized to the baby for being letting him/her think it was unwanted and apologized to God for looking a gift horse in the mouth. After all, this was a gift that I was given freely that some people will kill to have.

Morning sickness started shortly after. I was sick as a dog but I kept managing to go to work and not be too sick. Eventually, the morning sickness gradually decreased and I thought nothing of it. I was even happy that this child didn’t come to give me issues. This was around the 12/13th week.
I was going to join my team here on Nairaland and the next week, I went for my routine OB appointment and they doctor tried to use the Doppler to find the heartbeat. For where? It was dead silent. No heartbeat. I didn’t really think much about it, thinking his Doppler was faulty until he went out and got the portable ultrasound machine. No heartbeat again.

Long story short, baby had stopped developing around week 10 or 11 but my body refused to leg go and miscarry up until week 14 at my appointment. I was given an option of D&C or Cytotec to induce the miscarriage. I opted for cytotec and there began round two of my ordeal. I bled and bled and bled all night long, passing big balls of clotted blood. In the morning, I went back to his office and we did ultrasound, Lo and behold, the fetus is still clinging to my uterine wall, not detaching fully. I eventually opted for a D&C which was carried out about 1hr later. I was put under and the procedure went well. My OB told me I should expect my period in 2-6 weeks.

Part 2.
6 weeks came and gone. No period. I started testing with the pregnancy tests I had at home and Lo and behold, I was still a very clear positive. I called my OB with the news and I was told it will go down with time and clear out. This was what I was on, and for two months, HCG never cleared from my system. Nightmare all over again. I was at work one afternoon when I just felt a warm gush. Wishing seconds, I was soaked front to back, top to bottom in thick blood. Confused, I got into my car, called my OB and drove straight to his office. He sent me to the lab to have blood drawn and between 2 hours I had soaked through 5 maxi pads. It was like a tap had been opened, no kidding. I will sit on the toilet and blood will be coming out of me like I was peeing.

The test revealed I still had a very large amount of HCG in me. I did another transvaginal ultrasound and boom! Remnants of the fetus was still smiling at me. Who did I offend? Lmao. I was scheduled for another D&C o. But before they could schedule the surgery, the EMR system at my OBs office went down. So they couldn’t pick a date for me. I started researching on how to get this tissue out of me naturally and found out about some herbal supplements I could buy on Amazon. It was a tea of sorts. I Sha bought it, drank it, half expecting it not to work. Eventually the EMR system came back up and I was scheduled for the D&C. The day of the D&C I woke up to take a bath and within seconds I started feeling labor pains. But this time, it was crazy. I screamed and screamed and screamed. It was crazy. Eventually I took Norco and it became bearable. I went to the hospital for my surgery after notifying them of the new developments. I got there, I was prepped for surgery and my OB decided to put it hands in my cervix to see if there was anything in there and Lo and behold he pulled out some sort of tissue. Not too small or large. He sent it immediately to the lab to get tested and I was wheeled again to get ultrasound done again. Alhamdulilah, the tissue he pulled out was the remnants that was still making my body think it was pregnant and still emitting HCG into my body. That was how I escaped another D&C and God being who he is and will always be, I got my period two days after that episode! Alhamdulilah again.

That experience really traumatized me and I got so superstitious after I got pregnant again, hence the reason why I didn’t announce it on here or join any team. I was so superstitious that even a bunch of my friends and family never knew I was pregnant until I gave birth yesterday.

Lol you never forgot to include that 'my ex husband' in almost every line cheesy. I'm glad you took your matter into your own hands. Someone told me during my antenatal class that a good reason why 90% of the people who run from cs do that is cuz of the money. They might say 'God forbid, it doesnt run in my family' and bla bla but bottom line is no money.

my sis, I saw hell even after delivery with my ex which made me pick race with my kids. as for the fee general hospital is affordable that's y I registered there to avoid stories. my mum ended up paying my hospital bill where I stay for a week.it wasn't funny

You are a strong woman sister. That is another factor, some women will because of fear and submission delay or keep rejecting the Dr advice due to the threat and suppression at home. May God continue to send helpers to us when we seem helpless. Amen.

Fyngal1:


some nurses are bad but some women are stubborn sha. when i had my son, there was a woman in the labour ward that refused to open her legs despite all the doctors and nurses said. at a time, even the nurses were sounding scared. they were saying things like: madam please your baby's head is almost out, open your legs na, do you want to kill your baby? their desperation was beginning to make me scared too and i started praying for nothing bad to happen to the baby. finally, one nurse started slapping her thighs saying: "please, don't put me in trouble o". the woman managed to open leg but to push was now another wahala. the doctors had to use hand to push the baby out.

My cousin did that during her labor.No matter how they cajoled and begged her,she woukdnt budge.I was the on with her at the hospital.She is the type that has high threshold of pain.

They. confirmed she was 10cm dilated but she stood up and walked out to the hospitals reception.It was the security that bundled her back while they tied her legs and luclkiy the baby's head slipped out.

I shuddered that day.She was lucky hers was a private hospital,if not the matrons will finish her

Till today,she is yet to say why she did it.It was a very strange something to us and i would later hear that some women do it.that sometimes the fear of the pain blocks their thinking faculty and instinctively they close their legs.

I cant imagine getting to the finishing line and then bloxk my baby when all i want is the pain to go away.If keeping my legs 1000m apart will make the baby come out then in game grin

Hello mamas ,am here again . I was in August 2017 team and here I have found myself again.
Am yet to know what team I will belong to cos all I know is that I had my last period in december but can't remember the exact date.
The main reason am here this early is to rant,since I began to feel the symptoms of this pregnancy it has been constant hunger pangs... very unlike the first time where I couldn't even keep anything down in my tummy.
Now I just have to keep eating else I begin to feel nauseous. Abeg is this normal,I feel it's too early and I might end up with a big baby.
