My birth story is a very short one, this pregnancy came when I thought I was done with child bearing, oh the look of happiness on my husband's face while I was disappointed with myself, well I decided that what has happened has happened, then followed with series of scans, hospital visits ( I am a high bp patient), always treating maleria and all of that. Pregnancy advanced and I registered with General hospital ikorodu and Holy trinity hospital ikeja. At exactly 34 weeks I went for antenatal at the general hospital and was admitted for high bp and protein in urine +++, on the 5th day o suddenly felt a gush of water pour on my laps, I showed the nurse and she asked me to wear a pad so they can be sure of the quantity, the next morning the doctor came and saw it and that was my journey to emergency CS, they said waiting could be dangerous.i was wheeled to the theatre and out came my 34 weeks 6days old baby showing her crying skills... Only God can perform this miracle.

Thanks for the mentions, the private messages and the calls, I am sorry the BS came late, I have been battling with fever and pains since I was discharged on Sunday. Thanks at cappo sunbestie, may God make it easy for other December mamas,

My sister,bodies differ I must say. I was in your shoes then and my mum was worried as she kept on saying it’s not normal. Mine lasted for over 2 weeks. Sometimes light, very light, heavy and brown or so. When I told the doctor, she said it’s not abnormal that the uterus is shifting to it’s normal position plus I’m breastfeeding as well, so I took my mind off it.
It stopped later on and around week 5 started again. This time with little cramps here and there. My mom became worried again and called her own doctor, he prescribed a drug to be inserted into my buttocks that it’ll cease the bleeding. I told my mom to hold on for 5 to 6 days let me observe first to be sure it’s not my period. My husband called his doctor as well and he said as much as it’s rare for some women to see their period within 6 weeks after CS, it can’t be ruled out, that I should observe like I said.
People of God, the bleeding ceased after 6 days and it turned out it was my period.
Last week being 9 weeks post CS I saw drops of blood for 5 days and it was my period again, when I asked, I was told my body is gradually adjusting to normal.
Sorry for the lengthy post, what am 1 trying to say, Be calm and don’t panic, complain to your doctor when you can but it’s totally not abnormal. Thank goodness I didn’t insert the drug my mum’s doctor prescribed. Who knows?

Congratulations to all Mamas that have birthed their Lo’s, safest delivery to the remaining Mamas
God bless you, Sis. After complaint at the clinic, I was told I am fine and it is my body returning to normal so I should let it be, which is what I'm doing. No more worries.
Phew! Big sigh of relief.
Off to attend to my madam as momsie has gone back and hubby has resumed work

LONG POST ALERT!

Mamas, abeg make una no vex for the late post. I've been occupied and been trying to find a way to compose the BS. Because I just can't not post my BS cos I've been blessed by ones I've read on here.

Please accept this little write up.

After our wedding in November 2019, DH always want to be sure that I agree that we'll be trying for baby immediately, but in my mind I was like I'll get a job first and take my time.
I searched for job o and attended interviews tire, but I no gree secure one. Las las I gave in and said if job won't come, baby should be coming then. So I started looking out for signs of pregnancy and using test strips. Around March I tested positive. DH and I were so excited and the journey started.

First trimester was smooth with no MS, just some occasional headaches and little appetite.

Second trimester was indeed the honeymoon phase too. But at 20weeks, I started feeling one excruciating pain in my pelvic region. I couldn't maintain any position for a long period. That week I went for ANC and run a scan. That was how a fibroid was detected. The sonographer initially said it's no problem, but as she examined further, she said it's very close to the cervix opening and may require a CS. I was advised to use PCM for the pain. But since the pain refuse to reduce, I went to see the ob-gyn and he assured me there was no cause for alarm. That night, the pain subsided.
I continued with the routine ANC procedures. And every time the midwives palpates and check for fhr, most of them tell me there's a possibility of CS, but I just kept praying in my heart, that "God I have nothing against CS, but I want you to surprise everyone that have predicted CS for me by making me have a VD".
And one of the other prayers I say is that my baby should come at 39weeks, as I don't want to be overdue. And I always make use of the supernatural childbirth book. I read, make the confessions there in and pray the prayers.

Fast forward to 37weeks. I started feeling contractions on and off. My tummy will also always rumble as tho I want to poo, but before I get to the loo, I'm relieved of it. I explained to my mom and midwife on my ANC visit, they said it's baby preparing. Okay o.
At 38 weeks the feeling became intense and 15th/16th night I started having serious contractions lasting 1min and 6-7mins apart that I couldn't sleep well.
On my visit for ANC on the 16th Nov I told the midwife how I felt, she said I should come back when it's 4mins apart and I left for work (my husband business I'm overseeing). The contractions kept at the 6mins interval throughout the day. And at night it started again and I couldn't sleep. DH became very concerned and said we should head out at midnight, I said no, it's not time. He'll go back to sleep and wake up again to find me not sleeping. He insisted we go, I said okay we'll go when day breaks around the time we should go for work.
By 5am, I agreed to go to the hospital; but I insisted I must cook as I was hungry. On getting to the kitchen I prepared what to cook just to discover the gas is exhausted. So I went to have a shower and we headed out by 6am.

We got to the hospital and I explained myself to the doctor on duty. I was taken to the ER to be checked, the doctor checked my and said I will deliver today as I was 7cm gone. I was very happy ehn, as my fear was being sent back home due to little or no dilation. The doctor said I'll deliver in the next 4hrs (but I prayed I my heart that it won't take that long) and told the assistant to put up oxytocin for me. I told them not to induce me o. The nurses there were surprised that I don't look like someone who's 7cm gone as in their mind I might just be 2cm gone and for a FTM!
I was then taken to the maternity Ward to wait it out. When I got there, they removed the oxytocin drip that I won't need it. In about 1hr, I was taken to the labour room to be checked and prepared for delivery. The midwife on duty keep monitoring the baby's heartbeat and asked me to breathe with my mouth when I feel any contractions, which I did perfectly well.

At a time I felt a very strong urge to poopoo and I shouted: *I want to poopoo o*, they said I should do anything I feel like doing. Without my permission the poop came out very hot and about 2mins after I felt the urge to push, and I shouted again that I want to push. She said I should wait for them to clean me up and I should return to lying face up which I found difficult to do, so the midwife helped me. Then I was asked to do whatever I want so a give a loud shout and my prince charming came out screaming weighing 3.6 at 9am (2hrs after the doc pronounced 4hrs). Few minutes later the placenta was delivered.
I was sutured (cos I had tears).

I was taken to the ward and my DH and MIL(a good woman) came in, later my sister joined. About 30mins later after the greetings, I wanted to change the pad and I was being assisted but I felt dizzy. But I knew it I was on the floor hearing my MIL's voice calling out the nurses to help her. Then I opened my eyes, I had fainted and was bleeding bad.

The nurse came and wheeled me back to the labour ward to check what was causing the bleeding. The doctor inserted one metal speculum in my vj which was extremely painful cause of the stitches. They didn't find anything o and asked me to lay still for observation. Whenever I try to sit up, I felt dizzy. But when there was need to attend to another labour case, I was wheeled back to my bed and given IV. The doctor on night shift told me it was probably due to weakness. We were discharged the second day.

All glory to God for a successful journey.

I was taken to the ward and my DH and MIL(a good woman) came in, later my sister joined. About 30mins later after the greetings, I wanted to change the pad and I was being assisted but I felt dizzy. But I knew it I was on the floor hearing my MIL's voice calling out the nurses to help her. Then I opened my eyes, I had fainted and was bleeding bad.

The nurse came and wheeled me back to the labour ward to check what was causing the bleeding. The doctor inserted one metal speculum in my vj which was extremely painful cause of the stitches. They didn't find anything o and asked me to lay still for observation. Whenever I try to sit up, I felt dizzy. But when there was need to attend to another labour case, I was wheeled back to my bed and given IV. The doctor on night shift told me it was probably due to weakness. We were discharged the second day.

All glory to God for a successful journey.
