BS

My doc gave his farewell speech and asked me if I needed help with sleep and stubborn me said no that I wanted to be awake. At this point, I wanted to be awake all night long so I know when I was about dying Silly me.

Lol... Me too o. I told him to stay back and gist with me. I was too scared to sleep, I didn’t want to pass.

Thank God for life... Congrats teamie

BS
Part 3

I came here to announce the birth of my baby, sent pictures to friends and even received some calls; feeling cool and nice and in control lol

Unknown to me, there was a gang up. One of the nurses came in and replaced my drip and I started feeling funky, asked her what she gave me and she said she added something to help



me sleep. I told her she shouldn’t have and I passed out while saying it lol.

Reports from my siblings, backed up with voice recordings the next day suggested that I slept but I wasn’t really asleep. I kept chiming in in their conversation, telling my sister to use qtip to clean baby’s nose and to cover his hands with mitten, even greeted visitors that came that night lol

The next day, I was floating and feeling cool. My sis was a whole lot of help, taking care of baby while I slept like I hadn’t slept in 5 years and husband was joggling work and school run for DD

The next day when I came to, I was eager to move around. I needed the cathether out!! I got off the bed by 2pm on the 4th and even tried breastfeeding because Mr. Baby kept spitting up after every formula feed. I saw that my milk already came in so it was bye-bye formula. Hopefully he doesn’t reject formula at 6 months too

At the end of the day, I was thankful my doctor didn’t listen to me at all. The last time he did and I almost paid with my life, Bp wonderfully shot up to 250 that night and my heart almost stopped. Then after I was discharged, I had bad water retention up to 4 weeks post partum, had drainage from my incision for 6 weeks, my incision was still open on the left side till the 7th week. I had bad panic attack for many months anytime I remembered what I went through. But now, I’m 3 weeks postpartum and I’m feeling like my old self, doing things I used to do though with caution, incision is healed and difficult to detect, vigilante is kinda real but not so bad, feet got swollen 3 days before my CS and it’s already back to normal now, and above all, DD accepted her brother and made this whole mum of two under two thing so easy. She’s always kissing him and wiping imaginary tears off his face with his bib or her hand, always eager to help out, runs to check what’s wrong with him when she hears him crying.

Second time is a charm for me. DD is her dad’s spitting image’, in complexion, same bent nails on same toes and fingers, same mannerisms. My boy has my complexion and some of my features even though he is starting to look like his dad, thanks to his very strong genes. I don’t mind even though e pain me.

God indeed makes all things beautiful in his time and he truly knows what’s best for us. I have never felt more complete and at peace. Now I’m looking forward to when they’re 4 and 2, fighting over toys and the silliest of things and reporting each other to me lol. or much later in life when they’re there for each other, coming through for one another and making me proud

This my boot has been locked in a box, buried and key thrown away into the ocean.

Thank you all for coming on this journey with me.
I hope I didn’t “west” your “thyme”


Stay safe sisters
Happy and healthy bumping to my teamies and other waddling mamas, my prayers are with you at this time
I await the testimonies of all GTC mamas

@Mzleemah ayaf fulfil all righteousness, albeit a very long one.

I really enjoyed your story. Congratulations. Thanks for making my morning

@chimzy09 and MumDiamond, congratulations. God bless your LOs. The BS was encouraging. May God make it easy for the rest of us.

First time to comment. Have been reading and following up each chat here. I will really say I appreciate you guys on this platform for your decision to share ideas. No doubt I learnt alot about women and the stress they go through just to make the home more happier. Really waited for a long time to share my wife BS with you guys but it couldn't come to pass as my wife underwent an emergency cs and a myomectomy today. it wasn't really easy but in all we thank God for the life of my wife even though we lost our baby. God knows best. wishing all pregnant mum's a safe delivery in Jesus name. Amen

So sorry for your loss sir. May God replace it for you in multiple folds.

Ma bi layo l’Oluwa wi
Ma bi layo l’Oluwa so
Ma bi layo, Ma bi layo o
Ma bi layo l’Oluwa so

We sang this church every Sunday we had our pregnant women meeting. I’m not Yoruba, but I think it means:

“God has declared that I’ll give birth in joy”
“God has said that I’ll give birth in joy”
“I’ll give birth in Joy, I’ll give birth in joy”
“God has said that I’ll give birth in joy”

I’ll try not to make this BS part 2 of mama Beyedew’s BS
So my baby’s due date was 15th March(as speculated by the 2 hospitals I used) but the date came and passed and so my doctor and I set up for us to induce labour on Friday, 20th March.

Got to the hospital Friday evening and was told that labour would be induced the next day Saturday, I was then given a bed space. Very early Saturday morning, the doctor came in, and I was induced around 5:30am. I started feeling mild contractions around 6:30am. I kept timing it till proper contraction kicked off sometime around 8am. That was when reality set in!

As at this time, I was 3cm gone. So I knew I still had a long way to go. By the way, checking how far one has dilated is not as easy as it is said o. I’ve always been scared of penetration (please don’t look at me like what kind of penetration brought you here ) I believe only the D should go in there. 5 fingers? Mbanu!

The doctor came to check me again by 11am and I was still 3cm+ gone. I wanted to lose my mind. It was hard to believe that I was in excruciating pain and I wasn’t making huge progress as such. By 1pm, I was in another world. I kept screaming “Lord have mercy o”, “Oh my God”, “Father , come through for me o”, “Mummy o”, “Lord, I’m tired” My mother in-law will tell me “No, say Lord give me the strength”

I noticed that while I was in deep contractions, I would fall asleep for a few seconds, and even snore as well till the contraction hits again. This went on back to back. I would call my mother in-law to massage my back while the contraction was hitting me hard.

This went on till the doctor came to check me by 4pm and said I was 7cm gone, but since my water had not broken, they would have to rupture it themselves. The only food I had had at that time was very light pap and one small portion of moi moi. My husband got me jollof rice but I think I ate 4 spoons alone. So I was still hungry but food was the least of my problems.

8cm gone, and I was already having the urge to push. I was encouraged to hold on. By this time, I was grabbing and pulling everything my hand could reach. My mother in-law was still massaging my back as each contraction hits. She had sore arms that day.

Finally 10cm, around 5pm and I was given the green light with some rules. Push when the next contraction hits, , spread your legs, hold your legs like this, raise your head to look at your navel etc.

4 pushes and my baby was out giving me some tears. I heard her scream and I had never felt more fulfilled.

I was stitched and the midwife cleaned me up. My husband and mother in-law came to check me. We teased each other about my baby’s looks, and I sent him for food. I was with the midwife alone now, she helped me stand up to my feet that was when trouble set in!

I realized I was dizzy, and I quickly told her. She helped me sit and I think she asked “Do you feel better?” Can’t remember, cos I blacked out. I don’t know for how long, but I came to hearing the voice of my mother in-law crying and praying with so much sorrow in her voice in deep Urhobo. I opened my eyes, and I saw about 5 doctors in front of me, including the midwife. They kept tapping me mildly and saying “Mrs xxxxxxx, how do you feel now?” And I responded. I was taken back to theatre, and operated. I lost a lot of blood and took a pint of blood and another the next day.

At the end, I give God the glory. My husband who was always forming “I be street boy”. The man cried that day

There you go mamas; my Birth Story. I pray yours come easier

Congratulations , thank God for life

I actually miss @mummy4life, I hope you’re good?

It may, or may not be spiritual. I used to laugh at the spiritual aspect of this in the past & always say it's spider or whatever, until my little innocent baby experienced it at 2months old. He was well covered at night before laying him on his cot & when I wanted to go bathe him the next morning, I pulled off every thing, I saw this. It was still very fresh & some were on his back too. I didn't take it lightly at this point. If you feel it's spiritual, pray very well about it, but then it may just be a spider or wallgecko. Cheers

I didn't feel pain when I took mine but most people complain of pains after taking TT injection. Hope you are feeling much better now?

Biko can wall gecko enter inside cloth? Abi baby open his cloth to scratch himself with fingernails ? There are so many mysteries around us that we can't comprehend. Just pray,fast if you can and commit your family into God's hand especially at night before you sleep. No be every one wey close eye for night sleep.
