She woke up and they were handing her the baby she just had but she thought someone was handing her a teddy bear.....Until her eyes cleared!!
Hello Stella and darlyn bvs.
I remember my labour room experience (not that you ever forget) as I prepare for my baby's birthday on the 2nd of October,so I decided to gist us on the blog.
My pregnancy was just tiring. I never got used to the discomfort.
Anyway,on the first of October, that year, I called my mum to keep jollof rice and a packet of coke for me on the 2nd, that i will come for it when I close from work, that 2nd was my mum and my husband's birthday.(They are birthday mates) that was the rice and coke I never ate on that day . I had it all planned out but baby had its own plan.
At exactly midnight,my people,the pain was totally out of this world. Mine was not like cramps like people say it was at beginning, it was raw pain. I didn't call my mum because she's hypertensive and just had an episode.
My husband and I managed the pain till it became unbearable at 4 am,on Thursday,2nd October , I went to the hospital. I was in pains and then the real drama started. 9 full months of pregnancy and not a single missed antenatal,the doctor then discovered during labour that my cervix is too narrow to birth the baby.
Baby was struggling to come out and no exit path and I was in pains.May we not see fire inside well. Amen.
My village people really hold that doctor for job, hian! My people, inside that life threatening Condition, the doctor said we should go home and come back for CS on Saturday, Two good days away!.(pls, potential first time mothers, no matter how good a private hospital is, always register in a government hospital to avoid stories that touch)
We had a personal reason for not going to the general hospital right from the beginning,but the reason was a total bullsh..t compared to what was facing us at that moment.
Anyway, my husband just took me straight to my sister who works at the general hospital, and through her connection, I was prepared for immediate CS . The doctors in the general hospital could not believe that , that particular doctor will postpone CS to 2 days away in my critical condition because the doctor is not only popular but has one of the most expensive hospital as at then .
As I was being wheeled to the theater, the devil came again in my sister's garb. She told me, coming out of the theater alive is not guaranteed,so pray (I once sent a chronicle on this) but God took the glory.
By 7pm on the 2nd of October,that year,the CS was successful and my little madam arrived this world, birthday mates with her father and my mother.
When I regained consciousness, my hospital room was filled up with my family, I felt light and empty and was touching my stomach looking for my pregnancy,at the same time , someone kept giving me a pink and white striped teddy bear or so I thought, till I realized it was my baby I was being given.
May God bless all mothers and may every woman trying to conceive,be blessed with fruits of the womb. Amen.
My baby is now a teenager and she remains my only labour room experience.
Ire o!
Ire o!
God be praised.
ReplyDeleteThe private hospital was probably after your money not welfare.
ReplyDeleteExactly, this would have been my experience if my sense didnt tell me that the laΕge baby i was carrying couldnt possibly pass through my very narrow birth canal. I quickly went to get a second opinion from a general hospital. I dont know why private hospital doctors can be heartless.
DeleteCome back 2 days later kwa? π³
DeleteAwwwww.....motherhood is priceless I swear.
ReplyDeleteAm sure she's dragging some of your stuffs with you now.lol
Most of this doctors are not worthy to be called a Dr, may God safe us from the hands if such drs
Wow!
ReplyDeleteThank God for your safety and that of your baby.
Please if you're a first time mom, take her advice and register with both private and general hospital o!
In Nigeria, expensive and beautiful doesn't equal professionalism... always get a second opinion.

I think the private hospital didnt have what it takes to perform the producure, thats should be the reason he prosponed it. Very selfish and self centered human he is. Thank God for you and congratulations to your baby girl.. Happy birthday to your loved onesππ½ππ½ππ½
