Labour Room Drama 38/39/40

‎Hehehehee..

LRD 38

Hi Stella,

Correct person!!! Weldone, you don't know how much you are touching lives with this your blog. I come here everyday to find solace from life's troubles. Its well.

Well‎ my labour room has little drama as I birthed 3 children all through cs due to health complications. I just tot to share the last one. I have had 2 boys previously and was praying for a girl. I have always wanted a girl, aways day dreamed about dressing her up in matching outfits with me, anywhere I see baby girls I always want to carry. Always drooling over cute babies I see on the street daily.

So when I became pregnant with my third child, I refuse to do scan till I was 7 months gone. I wanted to be sure of the sex. Scan showed a baby girl, Stella I was ecstatic!!! Omo there was nothing I didn't buy, pink everything everywhere. 

Day of my scheduled operation I packed my baby's stuff in a cute pink bag, with ear rings inside and asked the nurse to help me pierce her ear lobes the moment she's out. I always have epidurals so am always awake and chatty during the operations. Was telling all the doctors I couldn't wait to see her. 

When they brought out my baby, nurse just came round to my head and showed me the private part and just started laughing. 

Stella it was another boy!!

All the pink overalls ‎I bought I wore him like dat, it's only the gowns and ribbons that I gave out. My mother took the ear rings, I was raking ooh! 

that I would sue dat lab that did the scan for me, my husband was just laughing. My son turned 8 months old yesterday. I thank God for his life, I just consoled myself that at least he's healthy. ....

LOL,This wan na Labour room drama?Chei..

Anyway congrats.

LRD 39

Good day Stellastica,

Its me here again(in sister nkechi's voice). The remote control omugwo mum chronicle.

  So let me start with my 1st child. 

  I lost my mucus plug about 3 days b4 my water broke. I was still in bed about 6am when I felt warm liquid wet my body and bed. I say ha, abi i don piss for body? I struggled up and more poured out after I took a step away from the bed. So I knew it wasn't weewee.. 

  Immediately I woke my husband up and told him to get ready because our baby is about to arrive. We dressed up, I took a cup of tea and a couple of slices of bread and we took our bags and went to the hospital. It was my antenatal day so I went to tell the nurses my water broke immediately I got there. They wrote on my card to see the doctor straight up so I went to see the doctor who sent me to the delivery room.

On getting there the nurses (it was a federal govt. Hospital. FMC) asked what I wanted. I gave them d doctors note on my card and told them I was in labour. They read the card and started laughing o, say I never enter labor say if I dey labour them go know because say I still carry lipstick for mouth. And I used just lipgloss because na harmatten o, November. Naim I use my hand clean my lips to show them say I serious. 

They just asked me to go and sit in one corner. I obliged and went. This was around 8am. I called one of my sisters in a nearby town. And then went to tell my husband outside what was going on. I told him to buy me water to which I added glucose and was drinking I was there until about 1pm and told them I want to go and eat, I was hungry. They refused that I'm not supposed to take anything. Hian I ask why? 

Them no talk anything but someone said in case of CS..
  I waited till about 3pm. They had checked me just once. 3cm dilation. I just form strolling go outside. I had already told my husband to go and buy me food and I ate the fried rice and chicken, drank water well, cleaned the oil from my mouth and I went back in. I know say C.S no be my portion.

 At about 6pm, another set of nurses came and asked what was wrong with me, I said labour, they said I never start as I still wear gown. And i was actually feeling the pains but just bearing it. Naim I collect my wrapper tie for chest to show them seriousness. I was about 5cm dilated then. That checking of dilation dey pain ehn. Phewww!! 

   A doctor came around then and said I should be induced. Na then I know say labour get stage. See pain ehn, my sister and husband were outside, by the window. I heard him saying, that's my wife's voice, that's my wife screaming. I just de vex as na me de in pains for something when both of us enjoy 9 months b4. The thing pain no be small.. 

  There was a nice nurse there who really helped. I pushed out my little princess after just one push at 8pm on the dot.
   I used government hospital because my mum and mum in-law said its better. A choice I regretted and I no try am again.

LOL@abi i don piss....You sound stubborn sha.

Congrats on your baby

LRD 40

Hello Stella,

I have 3 different LRD and this is number 1. So I had a very drama-filled pregnancy. Vomitted the 1st five months. Fast food joints heard 'nwi' cos I must vomit there once I smell their food. The vomitting was so bad that I thought I would die. Once the last spoon of food enters my mouth na vomit straight.

 Spat till 2 weeks after delivery. Always carrying bottle to spit in. Had terrible headaches. But didn't experience swollen feet tho. @ 9months I looked 5 months pregnant. Ofada rice and sauce, roasted corn and pear, kuli-kuli and ijebu garri were my best friends.

So on the day of delivery was busy washing and felt funny between my legs. Cleaned up and saw blood mixed with mucus. Knew it was my show thanks to every woman book. So I quickly rounded up my washing then packed hospital bag. Not long after I started feeling pains like menstrual cramp and it kept building. When I couldn't bear it I called my BIL(hubby travelled) and he took me to LUTH. on getting there I was placed on drip @ about 5pm and they helped break my water (same happened in my other 2 pregnancies). And yours truly was still busy spitting that doctors almost didn't attend to me. Lol.

 I thought I could bear the pain but e no gree me again. I kept screaming I want to poo-poo. Kai! Time for delivery came. Then a matron, 2 nurses and 10 student doctors where in attendance. This people where using me to do experiment. One student was busy massaging my tummy and I told her I'll slap her if she doesn't leave me. Lol. 

When it was time for me to push, the matron took scissors and gave me a tear. Funny enough I didn't feel it. @ the 2nd push the matron was like if you don't push this baby I'll beat you. No be person tell me, @ the 3rd push my baby came into the world. 10:20pm. Thank God.

 They all congratulated, stitched and cleaned us. Not long after one woman ran out of LR butt naked screaming I want to poo-poo. Me who was in pain burst into laughter. Women dey see sha! My son is 6+ now.

My other 2 pregnancies were just different. 

Thank you

Linda

Was the Nurse serious when she said she would beat you?
