My Birth Story
It all started on tuesday 23rd. My edd according to baby apps was 22nd but scan said 23rd August. That faithful tuesday, i kpekus with dh as it was advised as labour inducing. In fact as soon as we finish, to clean up, na so i see plenty blood. I knew that was bloody show so i no worry. I went for anc same day and told the doctor that i saw bloody show that morning. He told me that when i start having painful contractions that were three minutes apart i should come to the hospital but if not by the following week i would be induced. On getting home, i had a first feel of real contraction though mild one. The contractions started increasing in intensity but they were not regular. Tuesday night was hell as it became more painful and uncomfortable coming 30, 15, 35, 17 mins apart and still very irregular. I didn't sleep well at all. Around 7am on Wednesday morning, it stopped but by 8:30 it started again. My dh had already gone to work at the time. I didn't even bother timing again throughout the day since it was still irregular contractions i was getting. Dh came back from work early that day cos of the contractions. In the evening around 7pm we took a stroll to buy toiletries and i had about 4 painful contractions and on getting home the contractions continued. At 12 midnight i had had enough so i got my hospital bag and dh took me to the hospital. The first doctor did a VE and i was already 4cm dilated. I went for ctg and was given an injection to make me relaxed so i was able to sleep a bit between the consistent contractions. By 5am i went back to the labour ward where contractions continued. Around 7 am the midwife ruptured the membrane, that was when contractions without pause started. I lost idea of time at this point. Another VE was done and I was 8 cm dilated. At a point the pressure on my jajaina became unbearable and i told them that i couldn't hold back and wanted to push.
I was taken to the labour room and asked to push when i feel a contraction. I had to be given cuts to allow my baby come out. Her placenta was round her neck so they asked me to wait while they freed her. I think the pushing part is easier than the waiting to get fully dilated. I lost a lot of blood and the stitching of the tears no be here o. In all, i give God the glory. I agree that the presence of a healthy lo is worth any pain a woman goes through in childbirth.
Notes
Don't underestimate your exercises
Kpekus is truly labour inducing
Take your drugs
Eat a lot of vegetables and fruits
Try as much as you can to overcome third trimester heaviness by being up and about.
Above all commit all to God. He is still in the miracle working business.
One love mamas

Thanks mama.... i'm just trying to look tender and beautiful like our senior mummies in the house. How is Ekene bobo?

He is very fine thanks dear.

Able #TeamApril Captain Giddyperson, you're welcome back from peeping mode o. My sister seriously we should called it pregnancy sickness and not morning sickness.
I too have turned DH to Darling HH, Darling Chef, Darling Laundry man. I really do feel for him.
Why have you been visiting the hospital if I may ask? Coz I've not visited the hospital except when I went for a blood test to confirm pregnancy, am I missing something?

proudmom38:

Why have you been visiting the hospital if I may ask? Coz I've not visited the hospital except when I went for a blood test to confirm pregnancy, am I missing something?

Lol. First time was when I had malaria, and I had to visit the hospital twice, and the recent one was when some company sent me to go and do medicals.

My MIL said I should expect to feel like this for the first three months, the thought of starting work like this scares me, hoping they won't fire me before the three months but on the bright side, the ms seems to let up a bit whenever I'm out of the house and busy, so maybe work would be a good thing.

Who else is managing morning sickness with work, how are you people doing it.

Hian Mamas....
All of u just gather my teamie n eat her raw.
She was just asking na...
Ftm things.
She is scared like most people.

Its not easy imagining how a big head will follow that tiny hole....

Am not encouraging cs if no need o.... but at least every woman must have thought twice about VD

I toyed with d idea of cs but thank God i didnt mention it here... una 4 don kee me.... the mama i chatted up advised me well even if she went through it twice... n i am not scared.

I think we would have just tried to tell her d good n bad.... she only asked how soon she can do the cs n not if she should or not.

A pregnant woman is very emotional.... talking about 6ft n another pusi 4 hubby was uncalled 4....

We would experience no loss in Jesus name.
No one would bring up our kids 4 us in Jesus name
Na we and our husband till we r gray n old in Jesus name. Amen

Biko lets try to put small love in our talks.... i was almost crying fa.....

God bless everyone of us.

Kisses to the baby with the cut during CS.
Its scary....
Supernatural delivery to everyone.
We would all birth like d hebrew women n if the need for cs will arise.... we would come out victorious in Jesus name.... amen.

Oya Jumayin, my pretty november mama... come n chop kiss.

[quote author=Giddyperson post=48931537]Hi my teamies
Longest time
Went into peeping mode because I was feeling too sick to make any positive comments
I've been feeling very angry with the person that coined the term 'morning sickness'. How is it a morning sickness. It should be called sickness or pregnancy sickness so that people would know what they are signing up for

Who has done their first scan yet.
This should be week 7/8 for me, not sure, don't care again.
Who else has been to the hospital and had the doctor push your tommy and ask you if you feel any pains. It has happened to me twice now, the way they do that their pushing, won't it bother the baby.

I seem to have progressed from just nausea, to nausea and vomiting, then to just belching loudly and awkwardly, I don't even know which one is better.

I haven't been able to drink water in ages, I went for a medical exam yesterday and the color of my pee scared me I feel like I really want to drink H2oH but we can't seem to find the drink anywhere around.

Who else has turned their DH to Darling HH

Oya no more peeping #teamApril2017.
I hardly see #teamFeb and #teamMarch sef, seems we are all going through the same phase at the same time...

Please mention any new April mama if I skipped any, and those still peeping you are welcome in advance.

Congrats Sugah and all the other plenty mamas that have offloaded, God bless YOUs and your little ones

feddy27:
Congrats to all the mamas that gave birth! God bless your lil ones.

I'm a bit worried about somethings I hear, pls I need to know! Don't they give anaesthesia before suturing your episiotomies in Nigeria

Now this is gross if they don't! Mamas pls clear the air for me. That area should be numbed with a localised anaesthesia at least.

My dear, it's here I ve been hearing this too. When I had episiotomy during my first delivery of course I was given anesthesia. Infact they gave me the anesthesia while trying to clean up the womb cos the way they were putting hand inside eh to clean it up eh, I had to hold the nurse hand like say I don catch thief, I didn't allow them to go any further until they called the doctor and he told them to administer anastasia. How can they be suturing someone's skin just like that.
