No two pregnancies are the same...... some will have a smooth sail through the nine months journey,while others go through one daunting ordeal or the other.
Nothing scares the living daylight out of me as the thought of 'falling' pregnant again. When all these unwanted well wishers around begin their talks of me giving birth to another set of twins, I reject it right there and tell them I have given the baton to them, they can continue from where I stopped.
You see, I have not gotten over the first two and the memory of what I went through will stay with me for a long time.
The toughest was the second pregnancy, from the nausea, to the discomfort and pains. Countless nights, I would sit at the edge of the bed and cry cos no position was comfortable enough for me to sleep. Other nights, I would wake up screaming 'my leg ooo' due to muscle spasms and my hubby would have to hit me hard in the leg for the pain to stop.
The D-day for delivery was the most painful experience of my life, I cried for help and prayed every prayer I knew at a point I wanted to pull down the walls with my bare hands, I was vomiting, pooing and shouting and the nurses kept saying I wasn't fully dilated.
The first baby came and I heaved a sigh of relief but it was short-lived, they quickly stimulated my tummy and another round of pain started. The second baby chose a new style and decided to come with legs thereby scattering the whole place. I had second degree tear.
Three hours after delivery, I was still being stitched without anaesthesia.
At this point I was exhausted from too much shouting and crying. I was shivering uncontrollably and gritting my teeth in an attempt to control the shivers.
It took a long time before I completely healed even after several stitches that still came away. The doctors later advised me to let it heal without stitches.
When I see pregnant women, I unconsciously become afraid because it reminds me of my experience.
Child birth is one experience that was very unpalatable for me.
*Please oh,this your story can make someone refuse to take in...Jesus!!!!
So sorry about what you went through.....Enjoy your kids!
Wtf Mrs Dee 🤢🤢🤢🥶🥶🥶
ReplyDeleteMrs Dee. Sorry o. Haaaaaa
DeleteI've not giving birth yet but I thank God for surrogacy.
ReplyDeleteAwww... Thank God for you, mine wasn't so dramatic though and I pray the second one will be smooth too. God bless every mother and give those TTC women their bundle of joy. Amen

Aunty Ebony pls take another name.. this one is taken already. Thank you
DeleteI have said it severally here, Pregnancy can be a sweet journey if you
ReplyDeleteprepare for it spiritually and emotionally.
A lot of ladies just jump and get pregnant. Mbanu -no.
What I do (these principles are in the Scriptures by the way).
1. FAST: for like a month before: take off every refined sugar/coffee/teabags from your diet, introduce plenty of fruits/vegetables to your meals.
You will see that you will not know nausea in the first trimester or at least it will be insignificant.
2. LOW WEIGHT BEGINNING: If you do number 1. effectively, you will begin pregnancy at a realistic weight and losing baby fat won't be an issue later on.
3. The husband's support: Very important for the emotional support.
The single feminist arrow shooters can shoot all the arrows they like 😘😘😘😘
but I don yarn my truth as usual.
ANG for president!!
DeleteAre there not mad women on the streets who gave birth without any complications? They didn't go for antenatal, neither did they eat or drink good food yet they gave birth on the street in dirty surroundings without any issues. Whereas there are women who followed the rule but still had complications and some lost their lives.
DeleteFollowing certain rules is not a guarantee that all will be fine.
@14:00
DeleteDid I say it is "a guarantee?" or you just must shoot arrows? 😘😘😘
The only guarantee is Jesus inugo?
This forum is for us to state our experience and I stated mine. Please state yours
and leave the mad women alone 😂😂😂
How about those "your mad women" who were climbed on by depraved, "rotten" dudes
every night and yet did not get pregnant or you think they will report to your
antenatal clinic to report that they have been TTC?
Okwa ajuju oo
If you think that the life of the mad women who were actually raped are better
for pregnancy, why not wear dada hair, tear your clothes and roam the streets eating
in dustbins and who knows? 😂😂😂😂😂
get pregnant
ANG of life, I no sabi shoot arrows but make I just dey enjoy your comments
Delete@Ebony
DeleteJesus is the Life 😊😊
Abeg, enjoy SDK blog dey go.
Allow arrow shooters to shoot instead of learning.
Kpele. But some people are spending millions just to tell this same story. Mine was not funny....three types of induction
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to understand why women pregnant with multiple push out their babies. What happened to CS? Una dey try o. Na una them dey call super abi Hebrew women.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly, with multiple birth I think CS should always be considered.
DeleteAs if you read my mind. Multiple births is an indication for c/s. I will advice women to opt for it whenever they're having more than one child. Women can also opt for epidural analgesia so that they can enjoy painless labour. Pains kills eeeh. Its high time Naija women stop passing through hell just to give birth like the Hebrew women
DeleteWomen are trying oh... I'm really scared of pregnancy 😭😭😭
ReplyDeletein my first pregnancy, the first 3 months was stressful, from vomiting to morning sickness and all, towards the end waist pain back pain and muscle spasms. I thought I would give up on the delivery day..no doctor to carry out emergency cs..a doctor later came but no anaesthetic..the did general CS for me. I lost more than 25%blood. I slipped into ppd. it was stressful. baby refused to sleep first 3 months, I couldn't do exclusive bf.second pregnancy was smooth no wahala till the day of my elective cs. was discharged early, baby slept at night and hes so calm unlike the first that is so hyper.i have a soft spot for the 2nd but I try to fight that urge. I make conscious Effort to treat them equally
ReplyDeleteNice stories..I learnt there are some babies that will not give you stress...
DeleteYour experience was really a tough one.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to my Labour Day... can't wait oooo
Pls oo,at what week did u deliver your twins. Presently 35 weeks .its soo tiring
ReplyDeletePls say a word of prayer for me as I enter the favour room to deliver my twins
ReplyDeleteSafe delivery to you by God's grace
Delete*Larry was here*
I thank God for my pregnancies because I normally don't have plenty early morning sickness,but I do have very terrible insomnia and mood swing.God bless all waiting women so they can experience this miracle.
ReplyDeleteMy first pregnancy was stress free and delivery was smooth but this second one is showing me shege. My first trimester was torture, I had no appetite, always nauseous, tired, constant headaches,everything smelling terrible. I lost 3kg sef. I just entered the 2nd trimester and I hope it gets better. I domt think I can do this again after having this baby o.
ReplyDeleteGod will see you through
DeleteGod will deliver you like the Hebrew women.
ReplyDeletesorry for your pains..it's not easy,may every parent live to enjoy the fruits of their labour

ReplyDeleteI am so tired, my feet are swollen I've done all I was advised to do still no improvement, elevated my legs while sitting or lying down, reduced my salt intake, drink lots of water still no improvement, right now my feet hurts so bad I just pray my delivery won't be hard.
ReplyDeleteI had them at 38 weeks @ anon 14:14
ReplyDeleteThis's very scary but the Lord was with you
ReplyDelete1st pregnancy was issh free for me. Was induced but it dint work for me at all then had cs. You see this 2nd pregnancy ehn , no be here. I had delay of 3yrs b4 taking in. I knew instantly when I took in and I told my husband "this is it". From the time I missed my period serious morning sickness started. I cant wait to enter 2nd trim, hopefully things would get better.
ReplyDeletePls I cant take water AT ALL, any suggestions pls???
Sorry for responding late. I couldn't take enough water in first to third trimester. So I drank ice tea with lemon and lots of soda. My doctors were aware and asked I try to take watermelon, cucumber and berries a lot. 3 days past my due date, I had my gorgeous 3.65kg daughter.
DeletePs. I ate junk food throughout the pregnancy. No complications. I give God the glory.
