Labour Room Drama 245

This drama inside seriies is back!!

I'm the girl that sent in her chronicle on the 3rd of July 2018. Thanks for all the advice I got. And true to some comments, my parents didn't send me out of the house which really surprised me. Especially my dad or maybe because he's now sick.

And I also met the guy's mum and after going to and fro, he accepted the pregnancy via phone, but no good support from him or his family. My family didn't even see him before he travelled.

To my delivery story, I was given a due date of 13th January and my bag wasn't prepared due to financial challenge. I was still looking for funds to get things ready before second week of January when the alarm struck.

My contractions started about 2am on the 6th of January but I didn't want to believe it was labour cos of my unpreparedness. I went to church and after service, I was able to raise some money and I got the necessary items. By 10pm, I set out for the hospital with my mum. On getting there, the nurse checked and said I was only 3cm dilated.

I was shocked cos from 2am till about 10:30pm only 3cm. I still believed a miracle will happen and it will fly to 10cm since I have a very low threshold for pain.


I asked my mum to be massaging my back whenever I felt the contractions. At a point, my mum got tired and started laughing at me. Till 1am, I was still at 3cm. They placed me on drip and due to what I've read here about some women that feel intense pain when placed on drip, I became afraid. But in my case, I started feeling sleepy but the contractions would wake me up. The pain was so severe that I didn't know how to position myself. I started reasoning CS cos the whole process was taking too long, but when I reason the money involved, I just said let me kukuma finish this race that I've started. I started asking God for mercy.


I laboured till daybreak. When it got to 6am, my mum started praying and when the nurse said it was time, my mum entered praises. Prior to this time, I used to say that I didn't want an episiotomy but when I see as things be, in my mind just tear me anyhow you want abeg so dat pikin fit come out.

And time to push, I did the first time but pikin no show. Then the 3rd time, the baby started coming out and she gave me a tear but I didn't feel the pain at that time. And at exactly 6:55am, my baby came out weighing 3.9kg. Then they stitched me which was another pain entirely.


I didn't feel love for my baby till after three days and now I love him unconditionally despite the father not being there. Stella here are photos for your eyes only.

*Congrats on your baby
