Labour Room Drama 160

When you do not feel your baby moving,Dont just assume baby is sleeping...

Finally I get round to writing my LRD.
The week of delivery I noticed the baby was not as active as usual but I put it down to being term and the baby probably not having enough space to move,I downloaded a free app to monitor the FHR ( baby's heart beat).

 I mentioned to my doctor at my next antenatal Visit and she was a bit worried said I should go in to the hospital if I feel baby is not as active . I wanted hubby to be at the delivery, so I hoped I won't have to go to the hospital before the following week. 

I started having contractions but it was not very strong, with my first I didn't have either I had to be induced once my water started leaking.

 I reluctantly went in to the hospital after I was checked the first doctor was like I should go back , but she called my doctor who said i should remain in the hospital.
That was where journey began o, first I walked and walked was checked and I was like 2cm, I was even on the blog and sent an email to SDK of life , my first went quickly and without event ( sent in my LRD i was even saying then that maybe I had high threshold for pain) so I assumed this was going to be easier Sef, alas my bvns na so we begin o from early hours on Friday, I eventually was induced for where I no gree dilate o, when they broke my water it was meconium stained( means baby had some sort of distress )

my Doctor checked about 11 pm and was like nah baby not coming tonight I was just like 4cm imagine!, next thing I knew o was someone shouting we are loosing baby's heart rate I looked on the monitor and really her heart rate was dropping rapidly I was immediately put on oxygen and some sort of probe inserted in and placed on baby's scalp it was like a movie.

The heart rate came up and I was on serious monitoring, the pain no be here at some point I was seeing things.  I was checked by one of the Doctors around 4am she said 5cm Hian !!

 I sent my doctor a message to prepare for CS by morning because I was sure I could not bear the pain anymore, I asked for epidural at about 6 am was checked and I was 8cm!! So they refused My doctor came in about 7:30 am , checked and I was ready, the little madam decided to grace the world with her presence in the early hours of the morning after almost 24 hours of painful labour, i cut the cord myself as na only me waka go , I was able to see her coming out as I had a mirror placed at the feet of the bed, really child birth is a miracle. 

After delivery I started bleeding the doctor had to go back in and remove clots no anaesthesia cos there was no IV access this happened twice. Infact it was a traumatic experience but seeing this bundle of joy God has blessed me with makes it all so worth it. I pray for all still waiting that God gives you your testimonies soon.

Did I mention it took over 2 hours to just get my vein as the people no dey hear word, told them where to find the vein they said because they could not see it, I was pricked so many times I lost count, eventually they called the anaesthetist who saw one tiny vein that had me positioned in an awkward position all through.

Grateful to God my 9 months course didn't end in vain.
Pictures for ya eyes only, thank you I lof thee like kilode. Hope I get to meet you someday

*My GOD,that baby is so soooo beautiful and the way you dressed her up,she looks like an Angel!...Congrats,happy that your story ended well!
