Labour Room Drama 248

Please read to the end because you may learn from this mistake!!!!






Good day Stellz. This is my own LRD. Been in doubt if I should send but I just thought now, why not share? Please read till the end cause you may learn from my experience.


So I took in around February that year (after trying for 2 months. lol). Now, two things I did that helped me was:
firstly, I used my ovulation tracker and though I never knew it would work, I just said let me try. 

Secondly, after the do, instead of hurrying to get up, i placed a pillow under my waist (thus elevating my kinikan) and stayed there for like 15mins to allow the sperm enter wella. I read about that method online. For those GTC, please try it out.


After the whole drama, I expected my period in march, no show. Waited for the second day, nothing. Third day, nothing. I was like, this is not normal so le hubs bought me the HPT strips. I urinated in a cup and placed it in....long story short, after few minutes of bringing it out of the urine and waiting, I saw double lines. I couldn't believe it. Did it again, same. That was how my journey began.


My first trimester was hell. Always nauseous. Couldn't eat, whenever I did, I'd feel weak. I couldn't take much liquid expect fruit juices, zobo or yoghurt. No water unless chilled. I was always feeling hot. Asides all these, my health and that of my baby was okay. Bp was normal too.


Second trimester, I got my groove back. Was eating well. I could do few chores unlike during my first trimester. The third trimester was good too but I had to limit the chores I did. Le hubs was really helpful. Very helpful. My health was still in top shape and BP too..

But then, I listened to someone's advice. Biggest mistake ever.

An elderly woman that lives close to my street called me one day and was like, hope I do exercise well? Like do chores and all. I was like, yes ma. She said okay o. I should not sit in one place o. I should move around, do stuffs and all that. Maybe I took her advice wrongly or what, I don't know but from then, I intensified my chores. 

At 37weeks I was scrubbing floors. As in, bend down on all fours and scrub. Something I never did all this while. I'll wait till Hubby goes to work cause he'll NEVER allow me do that, then start. In fact, I don't know what came over me that period. Me that had to put my business on hold cause I couldn't cope with business hustle and pregnancy started stressing myself at home.


I went for my checkup and boom....High BP! I was like, deep down within me, i did this to myself. I was asking God for mercy and to just give me one last chance..lol. My Dr told me to rest and stop thinking and working. Just rest so it'll drop. It didn't drop. Went for 39weeks checkup, still very high (like 190/96 high). I was booked for c-section. My Dr said it was very risky keeping the baby in there with that kind of bp.


I cried eh. As in, the nurses came and were consoling me. It wasn't funny. I thought of the whole process, what if something goes wrong? What if I don't make it or my baby? Even the cost too, see how I'll end up spending 10x the cost of vaginal delivery. I blamed myself. On my way home, I kept crying as i was driving.


When it was time, we (hubby and I) arrived on the night before the c-section day to be prepped. I came with my 'load' in the car booth. We were checked into a private ward. A nurse inserted a catheter in my urethra to pass out urine. She shaved me down there. I gisted with hubby then we prayed and slept.


In the morning, the anaesthetist came and briefed me on what to expect in the theatre after giving me the anaesthetic. Wow! So I was actually going to do this? I asked myself. 


Well, in the theatre, I was given the anaesthetic and I couldn't feel a thing from my waist to my toes but as the Dr cut through my belly, I could feel a little tingling but not for long. Then I felt her pull out my baby gradually till he came out completely. My baby was fine, no birth issues at all. It lasted for like an hour. I was moved to the recovery room to wait till the numbness wears off. Until I was able to lift both my legs at once, I wasn't let out. And i mustn't lift my head up cause it'll cause severe headache but I can turn left or right.


 When that was over, I was wheeled back to my room where the cutest angel I had ever seen was wailing uncontrollably. The feeling was amazing.


Those that say C-section is the easy way out, please it's not true. The pain after the c-section for the next 3-4 days is not here. Then the process of learning to stand and walk again. Pain! And you have to wait for a few weeks before you engage in strong activities.

Thanks for taking your time to read. I hope someone avoids my mistake and ONLY listen to what your Dr tells you.




*I think you took the advice in a wrong way..I am sure she meant you should be active and not just sit one place....Being active includes walks and dancing nau...lol

  1. I guess you overworked urself after the advice. And, most women say CS is the easiest, except for the pain that comes after.

    1. Exercise well doesn't mean "slave yourself well".
      Walking around the neighborhood would have done it for you.

      She gave a good advice. You misinterpreted it.

    1. Madam people's body differs. What doesn't affect you might affect someone else.some women work like tigers and still have healthy pregnancy but others might do same and will have miscarriage, threatened abortion etc. AND for the laying down after sex, it Definitely works too if your hubby has slow swimmers sperm. It doesn't hurt to do try it coz u don't know which your hubby has...Plus laying there for 15mins won't kill you. So what's the harm in trying it? I'm 5 months pregnant now, I did it too and tested positive...I don't know whether it helped me or not, but it didn kill me either and I'm pregnant and that's all that matters

    2. You are angry o. take heart, you can use angrypofen to ease off the anger.

    3. Madam I am not the poster but you are being insensitive for what you are saying. Everybody's body system is different that you did all manner of work during your own pregnancy doesn't mean same work can't adversely affect someone else.
      I have a friend we usually power walk and excercise together an hour daily. I didn't even know she was pregnant and I will be pushing her hard until she told me. I then asked her,are you sure it's okay medically to continue. She said yes that someone told her excercise is good during pregnancy.
      This lady had a miscarriage at 4months.
      She fell pregnant soon after again and was still telling me to come call her to power walk but she will be doing 20mins instead.
      If you see the way I was dodging this lady during her pregnancy. God forbid same thing happen again I will feel guilty.
      She later put to bed safely.
      Excercising while pregnant works for some people,while someone like me I don't take such risk pls. I go to my office, eat healthy and come back home to rest. The work I do in office is enough excercise during pregnancy.
      After I deliver,by month 4 I start my diet and excercise again. I fear miscarriage like no mans business.

    7. @tenth na wa ooooo, you took the whole thing so serious. I know women that were adviced to do exactly what d poster wrote and those women were very okay medically and ovulating and moreover doing what the poster said does not do any harm. Children of anger for this Buhari regime.

    8. Your Language is abusive, common have u ever heard "different Strokes". People bodies differ, to each her own, that you can move mountains to get to where u are going doesn't mean someone else cant cross the valley to get there.

  6. But Grandma did not ask you to scrub the floor now

  7. I can assure you that your bp wasn't high because of the scrubbing,it may be a case of pre-enclampsia which usually happens to some pregnant women especially if its your first child. We thank God for safe delivery

  8. Thank God for you and your baby.

    Cs or normal delivery, the most important thing is for mother and child to be fine

    ReplyDelete
  9. I have gone through both, CS will ever remain my best option

  10. Congratulations Iya baby. I wasn't really active during my pregnancy journey because I gat no job;all I was doing then was to make egg roll and doughnuts to keep in a pharmaceutical store nearby then. And I am so grateful to God for an easy delivery

    ReplyDelete
  11. I guess I'm lucky then, cos I did strenuous activities in my 3rd trimester so that the baby could come out fast.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Thank God for you and your Prince. I don't think the BP issue happened cos of the scrubbing though

    ReplyDelete
  13. It is not that work that have you high bp!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm glad you made it out alive, say hello to your baby.

    ReplyDelete
  15. That warming up there got me scared fah, hanhan sensational much.

    Congratulations on your baby, it all ended in praise, most important.

    As for those arguing that scrubbing floor did not cause it, is it your bp? The person it happened to said that's what caused it why are you people arguing now, are you her doctor, do you know her medical history? Na wah.

    1. One doesn’t have to be her doctor to know that scrubbing most likely didn’t cause it. What that kind of housework would usually do is send you into labour. Except she was already predisposed to preeclampsia or she had high bp before

      Delete
  16. THE bp may not be as a result of the scrubbing. some people do develop hbp during pregnanacy which your case may be one of them.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Congratulations on the safe arrival of ur baby. Pregnant women are usually advised to be very active during the 3rd trimester so as to ease labour and delivery,maybe u over worked urself there by leading to the hbp. In my case I was told to take long walks around the estate, but I still had my baby thru cs due to low lying placenta.

    ReplyDelete
  18. My twins delivery was both vaginal and Cs the boy came around 4am while the girl could not turn very for vaginal delivery, Cs was done at 7am, Cs sometimes is a life saver.

    1. Woow
      See miracle oo
      Were u given an episiotomy in the vaginal delivery? Cos I'm just imagining the CS pains coupled with the episiotomy...na die be that one ooo

      Delete
    2. Real life saver dear. A month ago, I was in the labour and one of the ladies there had almost the same experience. The second of the twin didn't come until a little over one hour. The med team was already thinking of going in for a CS.

  22. Thank God it ended in praise
    Congrats to u and your baby.

    I believe body differs, what works for A might not work for B.
    In my own case, I remembered I did house chores throughout. On the morning I delivered, mum insisted that I carry up the gallons of water fetched by my nephew. U know those yellow groundnut oil gallons...25ltrs. I brought the 6 of them up from ground floor to upstairs. My mum said it will hasten labour since I was already 2 days past my EDD. She ( neither did I) knew that the little crams I was having was labour coming.

    So my dear 'poster', do not see the woman as a "witch", she was probably advicing you based on what worked for her and others she knew.

    Kiss ya cutie for me
