Dear Stella,
Let me pitch my tent here and give my own Labour room drama(although i didnt experience any drama) .
I have been reading a lot of other labour room tales and i must say i have learnt a lot on what to do during my next pregnancy( like applying olive oil, cleaning the nipple with coconut oil)
So here goes my story.
I got pregnant and unlike other people i never had those pregnancy symptoms, (vomiting, weakness, illness) My pregnancy went smooth. i was extremely strong and active, wore heels and all.
A week after my EDD still no sign of labour and the baby coming out, i just packed my bags and headed straight to the hospital. In my mind i was like me i am not leaving here until i see my baby. Few weeks before. I had checked his weight and he was almost 4.0. That alone got me scared.

So as soon as i got to the hospital, the doctor checked me and tried to open my celvix. It couldnt open and said i should be put in a room So they could commence on other procedures to open the cervix by 6pm that evening, then he said he was going to induce me to see if i wouldl fall into labour and said inducing is 50/50(labour may or may not come)
I thought about the whole thing, the pain ill go through for them to open the celvix, then the pain from inducing, if the inducing goes through, the pain ill face during labour, baby is quite big, what if i push and he cant come out and they opt for CS after i and baby are already too tired.
I also thought of a friend that was in Labour for two days and said she must give birth virginally, after inducing, pushing, baby was too big, she had to under go am emergency CS.
So i just told the doctor i wanted an elective CS. I didnt want to go through all that drama. My husband came, he signed the documents and in 10 mins our baby was out. 3 days after i was discharged.
Sorry for my boring epistle, but thats how my LRD went.
Kisses to you Stella

ReplyDeleteCongrats dear.. . Kai Stella you are so funny
ReplyDeleteYes I went into the labour room with my phone. I was calling my husband every 3 minutes to update him. But when I was about pushing I dropped it. And I wanted to call immediately after I gave birth but the nurses scolded me. I kukuma waited till they cleaned me up and I told them I was going to pee and stylishly went to see my husband.
ReplyDeleteJames Bond, weldon shogbo?
Delete*Larry was here*
Na joy and excitement of first child o, I was only on the bed for some minutes after,and trust ayinke house they told me to carry my things out if I was no longer interested in the bed. I went to sit in the corridor but all the James bond made me fall sick afterwards.

Yes I went in with my blackberry then and I was induced. My friends didnt believe I had put to bed except those I told I was in labour when we were chatting. I was pinging when the pain subsides and ill put it down durinh a contraction. I did that till I got to 8cm and continued chatting with my best friend for 3solid hours 30mins after my baby was born. Yep some of us r strong like that.
