Congrats to those who had their babies... And to us still waiting, may we have a good testimony to share. Baby A is breech and practically jumps on my bladder, so I'm seriously not in the mood for anything. I'm just waiting impatiently for next week. I'm going to set up an appointment for delivery myself. I'm tired!

AmJane:
Birth story as follows: I went to antenatal as usual on Wednesday, 11th which was also my EDD using LMP. The doctor asked if I have started having any sign of labour and I said no except the braxton hicks contractions that are becoming more painful. He said ok that he is giving me extra one week and if labour does not start then I will be induced and all what not.
I went home and around 2:36pm of that same day, I started having strong contractions that were 8-10 minutes apart. I knew that labour has started. I ignored the pains and was kept myself busy with laundry and kitchen stuff. DH came back and was surprised to see that I have gone into labour and was that calm. He suggested going to the hospital immediately but I was delaying until we had dinner. We finally got to the hospital by 8:24pm. The nurse checked me and I was 6 cm dilated, meanwhile no show and no rupture of membrane. she has to rupture the membrane artificially. By 9:58, the pains became something else and I had the urge to poo. I was taken straight to the labour ward. I was fully dilated this time and with two pushes, my princess came forth at exactly 10:00 pm. I am a first time mom.
The pains were out of this world altogether but I give God the glory for the strength and courage he gave me. My daughter is so cute that I can't take my eyes of her.
To all the pushing mamas, God will make it easier for you all and to those ttc, you shall testify this year in Jesus name, Amen. There is no need to entertain fear. Just tell God what you want and how you want it and he will do it. I want to say a very big thank you to all those that answered my questions and those that shared their stories. It helped me (&many) alot.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, pregnant women, Co vigilante mamas and senior mamas.

I'm sorry for just coming up with this. Me wey dey always request for birth story as police dey request for #20 . Na now I know say e no easy!

My story will be in two episodes namely "At home" and "in the hospital" (na only beedam own go dey different nah )am just laughing ad waiting for my own drama congrat dear


Episode 1
It all started when I reached 37weeks I started taking long walks and as I ve already read here and some pregnancy forum too about pineapple being used to bring on labour. Na so I start to dey eat pineapple o from week 37.

Then when I was 40+5days, I was so tired of being pregnant so i decided to change from pineapple to castor oil. I trekked from ojuelegba to tejuosho that afternoon and I bought meat(orisirisi) to cook in the evening.

From people's review, they said a lot of wonderful thing about it. Then on my way home,i bounced into a pharmacy store around 4pm and bought the oil. I was afraid to use it till around 10pm when I summon courage and took a cover of the oil. I left my room and went to my neighbors shop downstairs who was helping me cook with my camp gas at the back of the shop.


She finished the stew,egusi soup and made eba for me. By 10:30pm,i started feeling uncomfortable so I decided to go back upstairs. Her daughter helped me carry the soup while I carry the eba.( never knew say I no go chop am )

I stay in the uppermost floor of a two storey building, by the time I got to the first floor na so I hold my bumbum say I wan use toilet. I couldn't climb the stairs so I knocked on my neighbors door to use their toilet. I stayed there for like 30minutes but Shit no come out. I left the toilet and went to stay in their living room.(na do labour dey start ?

I was walking up and down, standing and sitting at the same time. Entered toilet like 30times in 30 minutes . I thought I was forcing Shit to come out,not knowing I was pushing cos I couldn't control myself. I was sha feeling this urge to push. When I couldn't hold it anymore, we decided to leave for the hospital around 12pm. They assisted me to bring my things downstairs as I already showed them all I want to take. We called the cab man and we left for the hospital around 12:05.

Watch out for Episode 2 titled "in the hospital"

Miss you all!
