So nice of you to check on us Cappo even with the stress you are going through. Don't worry, all these shall pass and baby will recover completely.

I'm recovering small small by God's grace. I can't wait to be totally pain-free or least 90% pain-free. My take-home pain medication (ibupro...) finished this night. I'm praying that the pain remains manageable henceforth until it fades out. May God continue to strengthen you and yours in Jesus name, amen.

Long post alert!

I want to first of all thank Almighty God for granting me safe delivery. I say a big thank you Jesus!
I was placed on BP drugs because I developed HPB 7 months after giving birth to my son in Nov 2018. Some days in this pregnancy, the BP will be very high even while I was still on medication. But it later normalised to the point that I was getting readings of 110/70 and the rest on consistent basis.

I also had coexisting fibroids which I had always had with my previous pregnancies. Well, we managed and pulled through until I got to about 37 weeks then I became sick. I treated malaria no way. Went to the hospital and they gave me another dose, yet I wasn't myself. Couldn't breathe well and was always tired.

That was when village people decided to manipulate my digital BP monitor to work against me. It would give me 160/110 but when I rush to the hospital, the hospital manual and digital will give me normal reading.

Anyway, at 38 wks appointment, I complained of the headache I was having to the Obs/Gyn consultant and he said we should go for CS at 39 weeks. That the headache at that stage wasn't a good sign. And that baby was too big coupled with the fibroids. We agreed and picked a date.

Our HMO was contacted and code for payment was sent. But as the date approached, I thought of how to cope after CS with no one to help but hubby. My sweet mother-in-law has been sick and in another state. And I already have a 19 months toddler to handle. I told hubby I would like to wait till 40 weeks since my boy's labour started exactly when I turned 40wks.

I ran scan to check baby's weight and it was 3.6kg at 39 weeks plus. The fibroids were still little and same as when I had my boy vaginally. And so with no headache and HBP, I made up my mind to wait till 40 weeks.

Exactly on 16th, which was the real date my LMP gave me as due date (40wks), my water broke. This was around 6:30pm. I got up from the chair and noticed that I was dripping fluid. After about 30 minutes, cramps set in. It was coming in quick succession but nothing unbearable. But since the water had broken, I thought the labour might not take time so we concluded that it would be safer to head straight to the hospital.

I got there, was checked and I was only 3cm. After about 3 hours, I was at 4cm. Then the main pain started creeping in. The doc on duty told me that I could try vaginal delivery since I had given birth before. But that the consultant said I wasn't to be induced cos of my condition.

That was how I laboured and yet I wasn't progressing. They later took me to the labour room around 4am. The pains were now more intense yet, I was stuck. Then at about 10 am, I got to 6-7cm. By then, the contraction was crazy. It was like the baby wanted to push both my anus and abdomen out at the same time. I was writhing in pain. My BP was just going up and down.

They called the consultant again and he told them to add oxytocin in a certain quantity to the drip to augment the contraction. I started having back to back hellish contraction with baby stuck at 8cm. I was screaming down the hospital and asking for CS, but those midwives and nurses were busy pointing out that I ran away when I was supposed to come for the CS, and that having gotten to 8cm, they wouldn't let me go for it again.

My sisters, I was already dying, they would choke hand to check and I would still be at 8cm. They would say that baby was definitely more than that 3.6kg scan gave me and must be the reason baby was no longer descending.

The matron even said I should push at that 8cm that they could reach my baby's head just that it's a little high. I stupidly started pushing but for where. Thinking of it now, that was a stupid and costly thing she asked me to do cos I could have torn my uterus which would have been a more serious case. They just didn't want me to go through CS after the long hours of labour.

I was crying and begging them to call the gynea to come and do the CS, and they kept urging me to wait. I called for my husband but they wouldn't let him in. God then sent another doc in who is familiar with me and he was the one that mentioned that it was risky asking me to push at the stage since baby's head wasn't where it ought to be before I could be asked to push. He called it one medical term like that.

Before he came in, the MD of the hospital had already come in to ask if everything was alright cos I was really screaming. They wanted to dismiss him by telling him that there was no problem. But I called out to him and asked him to pls call the doc for CS. He then started making arrangement for another doc to come and do it since the consultant they usually use said he was in a meeting.

So after my friendly doc came and admonished the midwives, about 20 minutes later, the team for the CS landed.
The guy administering the anesthetic was very proactive. He gave me the first shot at my back but the thing didn't enter. They were already rushing to cut me to get baby out but I felt the pain which was why they repeated the shot. My abdomen down to my legs then became numb. The other doc then cut me and brought out the baby. I was numbed, but I was still feeling the pains kind of.

I was feeling what they were doing to the point that I grabbed the hands of the doc and his assistant to yank off but they stopped me. Mehn, CS no easy at all!
I was screaming in a tired voice: "So this is how CS is". I was asking them to stop that I was dying. They brought oxygen and fixed to my nose. I overheard the doc carrying out the surgery telling the other guy that he removed a fibroid.

At that point, the guy that administered the anesthetics was calling for blood and they brought one which he quickly warmed up and gave me through the line he had already set up. That guy was so proactive and knew his job. It was like he knew what he was doing more than the main guy that carried out the CS sef.

After everything, they stitched me up and wheeled me to the recovery room. And guess what? Baby's weight was really 3.6kg. I was told that serious cord held the baby which was probably why she wasn't descending beyond 8cm. That she was already turning blue when she was brought out. Had I wasted another minute pushing, the story would have been different. God forbid!

The nurses now started coming back to shine teeth after they almost allowed me to die just because according to them, I ran away from CS by not coming when I was booked initially.

Me, I gave it to them o. You don't know my reason for waiting till 40 weeks. My mother in law who is usually my backbone after delivery has been sick. If not that I have an exceptional husband, who else would have helped me after the CS?

My elder sister is good with cooking and stuffing me with food, but she is so fearful of new born babies and can't bathe them ( I was the one that handled hers for her).

If I was running away like the nurses said, I wouldn't have come back to the same hospital nah. I wouldn't have given our HMO the go ahead to approve payment ahead of the planned CS. If baby had descended to 10cm I would have pushed her out. Highest I will end up with tear.

And when you call the nurses to help you clean or feed baby formula, the young ones among them will be pointing out how it wasn't their job to do so. Being dependent on ppl is one other major reason ppl like me run away from CS.

I was told the CS procedure was a little above 3 hours.

Anyway, in everything, I give God all the glory and I have more respect for women whether you gave birth vaginally or through CS. None is easy having gone through both, and my prayer is that at the end of the day, all of you will be rewarded with carrying your 9 months package with no loss recorded.

To our GTC mothers, you are next in line for a miracle.
May the journey be easier for the rest of the pushing mamas. Forgive me for the long post.

BS submitted!

I was told that serious cord held the baby which was probably why she wasn't descending beyond 8cm. That she was already turning blue when she was brought out. Had I wasted another minute pushing, the story would have been different. God forbid!

The nurses now started coming back to shine teeth after they almost allowed me to die just because according to them, I ran away from CS by not coming when I was booked initially.

Me, I gave it to them o. You don't know my reason for waiting till 40 weeks. My mother in law who is usually my backbone after delivery has been sick. If not that I have an exceptional husband, who else would have helped me after the CS?

My elder sister is good with cooking and stuffing me with food, but she is so fearful of new born babies and can't bathe them ( I was the one that handled hers for her).

If I was running away like the nurses said, I wouldn't have come back to the same hospital nah. I wouldn't have given our HMO the go ahead to approve payment ahead of the planned CS. If baby had descended to 10cm I would have pushed her out. Highest I will end up with tear.

And when you call the nurses to help you clean or feed baby formula, the young ones among them will be pointing out how it wasn't their job to do so. Being dependent on ppl is one other major reason ppl like me run away from CS.

I was told the CS procedure was a little above 3 hours.

Anyway, in everything, I give God all the glory and I have more respect for women whether you gave birth vaginally or through CS. None is easy having gone through both, and my prayer is that at the end of the day, all of you will be rewarded with carrying your 9 months package with no loss recorded.

To our GTC mothers, you are next in line for a miracle.
May the journey be easier for the rest of the pushing mamas. Forgive me for the long post.

BS submitted!
