Labour Room Drama 216

WOW:....Is this for real?Cool!!!

hi Stella

I am an ardent reader of your blog. No day pass without me checking Stella's blog...........


In 2012, i found out i was pregnant, went for my scan and all, everything was perfect, we were expecting a boy, hubby was over the moon. Fast forward at 13 weeks, as part of blood test performed, they discovered i am AS. I received a letter from the hospital that i should bring my partner for testing, we live in the UK. 

BVS, i wanted to enter ground, i shouted Jesus Christ🏼🏼i did not even ask hubby his genotype when we were dating, love blinded me. I quickly ran to him and he said babe, take it easy , i am AA. I asked who told him, he said in Nigeria, then i started crying and laughing at the same time. chaii my parents would kill me, i have 2 cousins that died of sickle cell, hubby kept saying don't worry the baby wont have sickle cell. 

lo and behold, hubby's result was out, he was also AS.they called us for counselling, either we do abortion or do CVS and check if the baby would be a carrier. when i saw how long that needle was to pierce my tummy, i declined the CVS. we decided to leave the baby. fast forward due date was Christmas eve, no sign of baby. i was having serious braxton hicks, i kept calling the hospital am in labour, and after few questions, they tell me that's not labour. choii , i hear am. 

On new years eve, i saw my show, then i called hospital and they asked me to come. after 24 hours of labour , i asked for epidural, i was in mad pain as in maaaaad pain. that epidural injection calmed me down. eventually , after 48 hours, 2 doctors came and checked me and said i was only 2cm dilated for 48 hours and baby's heart rate was dropping on the monitor. they said the next option is CS, i signed the document with immediate alacrity. 

I was ready to meet my baby. i was wheeled into theatre, and within 20 minutes, my queens baby was born. he didn't cry, i kept asking , is he alright? finally they handed him over and he was the most gorgeous baby ever. 

immediately, his blood was taken to check his genotype. chaii i was crying because i did not know what result would come out. i was discharged 3 days after. i couldn't bond with my boy, i was scared, unhappy, everything you could think of. 7 days later, we received a letter from the hospital saying our baby was AS, you need to see the way hubby carried me and we were screaming the house down. thank you Jesus,you did this🏾🏾.we had 2 more babies but both were delivered through IVF, the embryos with sickle cell were destroyed, while the good ones was planted in me. To God be the glory.
I will be in the comment section. Stellllllastica
