In all, it ended in praise....

My pregnancy journey was a very smooth one. Just vomiting in first trimester at evenings, thats all. No sickness at all, all tests were on point.

Second trimester, attimes i forget I'm even pregnant apart from the bump. My tummy wasn't obvious till like 6months.

I tried as much as i could to be very active, tried not to skip my routine drugs. It wasn't easy but i kept trying. I never fell sick all through.

As a FTM, i was always scared of the whole labour process. This was particularly made me decide to do whatever it takes to make the process less complicated.

Fast forward to 36weeks, i went for antenatal. Doctor said from 37weeks baby is no longer considered preterm and i can fall into labour any moment from then. I got home o, told hubby and out of excitement he called all his people to tell them to expect baby from the next week. I just looked at him and laughed cause i know the drama waiting ahead. Me that was not even close to edd, what if baby decides to come at 42weeks.... Anyway, as expected when no sign of labour or anything, his people started their drama. MIL called him one early morning and was asking if we were sure baby was still ok and when last i did scan. That the baby har overstayed. Hubby got upset, i told him its his cross to bear. I hadn't even gotten to my edd sef.


At 38weeks 6days, i went for antenatal. The doctor said if no labour by the next visit, he ld do a membrane sweep. The following antenatal, 1st of December, 39weeks 6 days. I went to the hospital with hubby. The gynae decided to do a scan first. That was were the story changed. Baby was weighing 4.19kg. I was not happy, because i had put in a lot of extra work, i took long walks, climbed stairs like it was punishment, i ate dates daily, ate pineapples too and did everything i could just so labour would come, see where it landed me. The doctor said we had 2 options. To opt for CS or try induction which was not advisable since it was my first child. Whichever i chose, it had to be done the next day. It was good hubby was there, cause the decision had to be made instantly. We decided CS was a better option. That night i cried my eyes out. Because i never wanted CS. I was wondering what i ate that made baby big because i tried to control what i ate all through. Though the gynae said its not always food and that i was a big lady, so i shouldn't expect a small baby.

2nd December, i carried myself to the hospital. Cs was booked for 3rd. Still scared cause i hadn't had a surgery befor. I hardly go to hospitals, never been admitted. Never taken even drip my entire life, except maybe as a baby. So the whole process was scary.. The surgery went well, i was singing victory songs all through. Baby came out very weak, water was draining and i didnt notice. She had pooped in the belly and ingested a part of it. I was scared. The gynae was like, the cs was the best option as the baby wouldn't have made it if i tried vagina delivery.
I told him God made the decision not me.
She was weighing 3.9kg at birth.

In all, i thank God for being there all through. To other pregnant women in this forum, we ld definitely hear your testimony soon.

He's probably not latching well, watch the video about proper latching on YouTube.. A breast pump will help also.

I understand how frustrating it could be, but stress affects milk production....try not to stress and stay hydrated. They say doing skin to skin with your baby helps the trick the brain to produce milk too.

.

The breast is producing enough milk just that the baby is not sucking very well I think hence the reason the breast is paining her.

@JOANDIVA I was in your shoes last two weeks what I did was that I put the baby to suck as often as I can after softening the breast by pressing out some milk with my hands and messaging it with ice blocks. Also tryo avoid taking anything hot for now even bathing with hot water pending the time your baby will start latching properly. Sorry ma'am

B.S B.S B.S

pardon my long story and any typographical error.

2020 has been an amazing year for me as i started the year rough with a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks but I am ending it amazingly with another baby.

second week in January I was about 11 weeks pregnant and bleeding started, was placed on some tablets and bleeding didn't stop went for a scan and the scan said missed miscarriage, went for a repeat scan two days later and it was same eventually had to be evacuated. I eventually missed my period in March and I continually did home test for one week until the faint line became thick. I started folicacid as this was March ending during the lockdown. at the 8th week bleeding wanted to start and I returned to the hospital in the heat of coronavirus and was given tablets to use to strengthen the progesterone. bleeding stopped afterwards. all trimesters went smooth no admission in hospital, no morning sickness , no vommitting or spitting. on Wednesday evening at around midnight and saw water on my body I thought I wewed on myself for a second and got up and went to the bathroom, I realized the water didn't stop but it was coming very little like urine. I dropped my daughter at the school and headed to the hospital since it was my antenatal day. immediately I got there told them I was draining water and immediately they took me to the doctor to check me , she examined me and said she didn't see the opening of the cervix but sent me to the scan room, the scan showed that the water was adequate and not draining. the doctor however said since the water was still draining they would have to admit me for 24 hours . I was admitted in the afternoon at 12 midnight the doctor came to check the water and realised the pad was still soaked and immediately they said it is time for the baby to come out as the water has been draining for over 24 hours and I was already 38 weeks and term. misoprostol was administered at 12 and contractions started I was at 4cm at 4am and another dose was administered . the drama started around 6.30am when they checked and they were like they were not sure of the baby position. she was facing headdowns in the scan but during labour she faced upwards. around 4am another misoprostol was administered and the contraction became intense from around 5am. around 6am was moved to delivery ward to be checked, I was already 6cm so they plugged all the ctg machines on me to monitor heartbeat and baby's movement at a point the doctor was saying looks like the baby has presented breech when she did her vaginal examination. later the consultant was called in to check around 7am and they realised her hands was on her face. OMG they shook hands inside my VJAY and was pushing her hands away from her face OMG Jesus another pain. I was connected to oxygen I wanted to urinate when the contraction intensifies they would beg me to hold it so I don't damage my urinary system , after they pushed her hands they allowed me urinate and they checked I was 9cm around 8.30. the consultant now said they should deliver the baby within the hour, they disconnected the oxygen and rushed me with IV energy glucose because I had not eaten. oxytocin and buscopan IV was also given as the doctor said she wants the contractions to become stronger.

the pains ehn but I held on and just kept hitting my back and rubbing the nurses hand and they just kept checking the heart beat of the baby. at 9.15am I was fully dilated and they told. me they would be calling in the paediatrician to attend to the baby after delivery because of the position she was in and the duration of water leakage.

time to push they said when I had the contraction and felt like I wanted to poo I should go ahead, first second , third and immediately during the third push they saw the head and said I should sustain the push as they cannot do much because her face is up wards so they don't injure her. oh God I sustained the push but ehn that was my first shout and immediately they just had to tear me for her head to come out and she slid out immediately , they administered another oxytocin injection again to contract the uterus and handed the baby immediately to the paediatrician to check her. I delivered around 9.25am weighing 2.5kg and the placenta was also delivered some minutes later.

they administered two more injections afterwards one around my VJay to stich me another was administered and I told them I felt dizzy immediately and they said is the injection, I remembered them stitching me and I was looking but afterwards I blanked out cannot remember anything else other than I woke up around 1.30pm . I remained on the delivery bed and when I woke up they came to wheel me to the bed to rest. we were discharged on the third day. they kept us because baby was on IV antibiotics infection was found after they did whole body count cells and they also wanted to reverify that there was no jaundice.

signing out see you in 2022 twins boys hopefully because I am mama girls now.

please pardon any grammatical and spelling errors

the estimate weight is okay it usually always higher or lower after delivery. a day to delivery scan gave 3.5kg I delivered baby with 2.5kg weight

Iqmotb:
Happy new month to us. Thank God December is here. I'm more than happy, may God make it easy for us all. Scan done yesterday @37weeks 1day says baby's weight is 3.3kg. Already pitying myself as a FTM. It will end in praise for all pregnant women.
