Part 2
Fast forward to week 39. I was really really tired already, I told my husband I want to go for elective CS on Saturday if baby no come cos ehn the tiredness was something else. Plus chronic back pain and bad headache, swollen painful feet too . He said I should tell my doctor In the next antenatal. I told doctor and doctor said they don't do elective CS on weekends so I said okay o and face my front, praying for baby to come.

I started having painful swollen legs for days. When I complained to the doctor he dismissed it as normal but my mind wasn't at rest, there was something different about it.

Friday night,baby movement reduced, tiredness etc. I tried everything to make him move that night and oga didn't answer.

My husband called his nurse friend and she said we should go to the hospital that night, but it was late, and hospital is far plus you know how general hospital can be. It might be fruitless going that night.

First thing the next morning (Saturday) we went to the hospital, they wrote scan for me to do to check the baby movement, it was a special kind of scan cos we paid 8k for it.

The result said his movement was 5over 8 which isn't good enough.
After checking the result the doctor was said they will have to induce me abi nah induction and cervical ripening me lol cos he needs to come out, he was 40weeks and a day already.

Omo as I hear induction my mind cut ooo, cos I've read scary stuffs about it. Later on she said she called an older colleague and he adviced CS instead. I won't lie I jumped on the offer immediately and she told us to go bring hospital bag. And so the journey began.

Hmmm people of God .
CS is not funny ooo.
The nurse firstly chuk chuk urine stripe inside my VJ three times, like chuking inside, remove it, chuk again , remove, that alone messed up my system. I started shivering.


Was later whilled to theater and let's just give glory to God.
When I heard his first cry I just knew it was all worth it, the body aches, the cries, the sleepless nights, etc, all worth it.
They left me in front of the theater after the operation for like 4hours or more and I was shivering, shivering and begging for help..

Anyway, please mamas trust your intuitions, whenever it tells u there's a danger please do not dismiss it, I complained to the doctor during antenatal about the leg pain and all and he dismissed everything, even the movement and chronicle headache I was having he dismissed them all , said that was part of third tri package and that I had typhoid and wrote drugs for me .

What if we didn't go that Saturday.

I wish all mamas here safe delivery ijn.

Anyways make una beg my baby to suck my bress naaahhh.. chaiii

Bennytwin:


Yes i agree wt you. Mama pls opt for elective cs. Since labour has refused to start at 41 weeks. I believe is safer. And from some mamas experience here,after being induced,some still end up wt cs. I think it is better for induction to be done when labour has started,so it augments and helps the labour.

shiller:


This Una theory shaaoo...

Some women also give birth naturally when dey are induced too....

When Labour start on its own,the next thing is it not to birth unless something happend along the line,or the labour is not progressing

Ewooo, teach me the yoruba way oooooo...I'll get the Infacol though..thanks dear

Pweetiebabe:
Am one of those women that gives birth naturally during induction, infact have been induced twice both at 41weeks+ and within d space of 8 to 6hrs I delivered my babies.... But I will advice d mama in question discus with her doc to know what's best for her and the baby

sugarcoatted:


Its not a theory, its jst to reduce the risk of complications. The whole induction thing is a 50/50 something. Its better elective cs than emergency when/if induction fails. Based on experience, i personally will pick elective cs anytime over induction. I had a choice when i had my baby and if i had chosen otherwise, i may have been living in regrets by now.

Mama, the yoruba way is agbo oo and you know many modern mums are against it but Ayam not.. Mum Inlaw came with the herb for both stomach and oka (donno if it's fontanelle) and we have been sleeping all through just occasional wakes to suck

MorningStar233:


Hmmmm, I just can't stand seeing this young man in pain, his stomach was making small small noise, and he was crying..me self tire.

mzMerci:
Hi mama. Please I beg of you, be very very careful with agbo for babies. I’m an healthcare worker and I’ve seen terribly sad effects of agbo on babies especially when forcefed. Weldone mama

MorningStar233:
Let me ask again pls, is there any food I should avoid to ease the pains for my child??

Looking back, I also thank God I'm not living in regrets by now after my baby's heartbeat almost stopped after 6hrs of being induced which landed us in an emergency that brought her out lifeless and landed her on oxygen for days if not for God's intervention.. Imagine using this kind of oxygen tank on a newborn after exhausting plenty small ones..
I'm grateful Lord, I'm soo grateful

Hope you burp your LO after feeding,colic is accumulation of gas,
You try and burp him or her after breastfeeding ,when u guys re bafn ,massage the baby with d baffing hot water (the stomach area)

Some mothers lay there kids downward ie stomach down tho you have to monitor your baby while on that position

And again i read you can be turning his or her leg as someone wey dey ride bycyle,is also helpa

These are Natural ways of wat u can do at home ..

You can ask question about your new born in the Newborn thread..experienced mama's re there too.

sugarcoatted:


Wow, you and your family really went through a lot. Thank God it all ended in praise.

sugarcoatted:

What i did when my baby had colic was to massage her tummy from time to time with hot water. Then i usually lay her tummy facing down from time to time. My MIL was always placing her tummy on her laps and it really helped. I didn't give any drug or anything. Just the massage and lying tummy facing down from time to time and also burping after feeding. It went away on its own

Omakraid:

Get him the Infacol.. I've heard it works and I pray it works on him
