Labour Room Drama 161

Labour room drama from the ''eyes'' of a man!

Madam Stellz of Life! 

Let me do the usual introduction. I absolutely adore your blog despite me being a man and with a hectic job I still find time to visit your blog every night when I get home. God knows how many people I've introduced to the blog. I sometimes wish my wife could be a fanatic like me but alas, horses, beggars, wishes and all that. 

My labour room drama happened last week on February 14th,while others were wearing red clothes I was in theatre seeing my wife's red blood.

 Yes,she delivered via C-section and I was present because I was a member of the surgical team as a doctor that yours faithfully is. 

After my wife entered 30 weeks gestation I doubt if we ever had any peaceful night rest. She always had these abdominal cramps coupled with diarrhea that sometimes even made me weep for her. Pain worsened as we got closer to her EDD. I eventually had to stop going to work by 35 weeks so I could stay at home with her. 

When she eventually clocked 37th week you need to feel the sigh of relief we heaved because we knew now it's simply a matter of counting days.
So on the 13th February wifey and me were just goofing around when she asked me what I was going to give her for Valentine, I responded by telling her I've already given her the best gift ever and pointed to her distended tummy. 

She hit me playfully and said if the baby doesn't come out by 14th then that's not a genuine Valentine gift. Na so I told her jokingly 'babe why don't we just go do a C-section tomorrow so the baby will just come out on Feb 14 and our joy will be complete'. That was how she hugged me tightly and said she's been thinking about it but dunno how to broach it to me because she didn't want me to call her lazy. Did I tell you my wife's name is Ife meaning Love? 

Symbolism complete! 

That was how I made all the arrangements,called a couple of colleagues adept, arranged materials and all that and we landed in a colleague's private hospital without informing any relative except her dad. He asked the reason for C-section and we told him that the foetus is breech in presentation.

 1 hr later she was on the operating table. I was present cos nobody was gonna shave my beard in my absence. It was on the operating table that the real drama occurred. 

Immediately the anaesthesia(epidural) was given that was how her blood pressure started falling, wifey started mouthing scary words, 'dear I'm dying, dear I'm leaving, dear say bye to my parents for me,tell my mum I'm sorry I lied etc'.

 Brethren all the holes in my body were discharging different kinds of fluids. How will I explain to people say na oversabi carry us come do surgery? 

Eventually she came around and surgery proper commenced. 10 minutes later my male bundle of joy was brought forth and every other thing went hitch free. My Love gave me the best val gift ever. 

We are back home now though she's still having repeated headache from the epidural anaesthesia but we thank God the worst is over. 

So that's my Labour Room Drama. I hope I've not wasted una time. 

Meanwhile I may be the one who will send in the omugwo chronicles because another drama is already presently playing out.
