Labour Room Drama 263

 Imagine it is more than one baby!!!

Hello Stella and B.Vs this is my labor room journey. Been meaning to send this but i never see road for one month now.


I missed my period in October last year and was happy when a test showed i was pregnant, but it was a mixed feeling when the scan showed we were having twins because while we felt we were ready to have a child we were not prepared for multiple birth, but we got really happy quickly because God dey.


Pregnancy was not easy for me, for the first three months i was vomiting day and night, i was spitting and everywhere was just smelling somehow, lol. My husband tried ooooo, he never complained, he was cooking, washing and doing all the house chores during that time, i lost appetite and lost weight.


By the fourth month i felt much better, but the spitting continued till the day i delivered, thank God for chewing gum and cherry(udala) that helped check the spitting.


Let me not bore you with the pregnancy journey, but one of the babies( the female and second one) was breech till the last week when it turned. I had to be induced at 8 months and 2 weeks because i had pregnancy high blood pressure.


Something funny happened when i was induced. Another lady was induced the same time as me and before long she was shouting from pain while i was barely feeling any cramps, only for me to fall asleep and wake up to people congratulating her on safe delivery. Me i vex, stood up immediately, went outside and started power walking round the ward. Do you know that after i had walked for more than 2 hours nothing much happened, my water had to be broken manually.


I was put on drip and that was when the drama started. The pain was brutal, and it has a way of building up from bad to worse. I was hitting my hand on the wall but didn't feel a thing until after i delivered, at a point i was shouting for painkillers and begging for C.S. 

When i was fully dilated( ladies that are yet to experience this, be ready for somebody,-might even be a male doctor-, to come from time to time to insert fingers into your punani, i was scandalized the first time it happened, so, drop dignity by the door when you are entering the labor ward, you can wear it back when leaving) i was taken into the labor room( in general hospitals nobody goes in there with you, OYO is your name, it's you, the midwife and your God) and when it was time to push, my God was faithful and my boy was born.


I rested a bit and when the contractions came again i pushed, only for the midwife to exclaim that the baby was coming out with her buttocks (mogbe!!!). She gently brought out the legs and told me to push, oh, i tried, but i was soooooo tired, i pushed, but nothing was happening, my baby's legs and buttocks where outside but her head was still in me.


I was really tired when i heard the midwife say," somebody call the doctor oooo, she is refusing to push, i don't want when it happens now i will be the one to be blamed, i am not touching her again." On hearing this, i roared and pushed with everything in me and my baby girl was born. Anyone who doubted the existence of God should pray to experience him in action. My babies will be 1 month old on 11th of July and even though i have not had a full night's sleep for a month, i won't exchange the experience for anything.


Let me put something across to those that are planning to make babies, be sure you are ready for anything. Mine is twins, yours might be quadruplet. I had this grand plan of feeding the baby i will be having exclusively on breast for six month but i am on the 10th tin of NAN baby milk at #2100 a tin, so do the maths and this is in addition to breast feeding, diapers nko. Thank God, he has been providing and he will keep providing.


For those ttcing, remember God is still in the business of giving babies, yours is coming soon.



Forgive any errors, , both of my munchkins are awake as i type this.

WOW...Congratulations dear.........
