Labour Room Drama 222

Imagine a selfie at this time...hehehehehhehe

Hello Stella.
Please post my LRD. I got married last year and God answered my prayer for quick conception. I actually planned my wedding night on my ovulation day. I must confess I was slightly disappointed when it didn't click that month. But by the next month, I was pregnant.

Pregnancy was pretty fun . No morning sickness, or vomitting. I ate almost everything I saw. DH and I were super excited for the pregnancy. He followed me to my antenatals visits, we enjoyed watching the baby during scans. He had to stop me if not I didn't mind scanning every month, Lol. 

I had always wanted to have birth abroad, so off I went for US visa which was successful. 

Fast forward to the 9th month. I was told my baby was big (8pounds) at my 36 weeks doctor's appointment. I was worried about having an episiotomy or even CS because the dollars no be here, Lol.

I started exercising, dancing, dieting, taking lots of fruits. I did lose weight but my baby's scan weight kept going up. 

A day shy of 38 weeks. I couldn't sleep well. I thought it was hunger pains. I endured till morning and quicly had breakfast but it didn't subside. At 2pm, I decided to monitor the pains/contractions and discovered they were exactly 10 minutes apart. I didn't need anyone to tell me I was in Labour. 

At 9pm, I decided to take a stroll to ease my back. When I got back, the contractions were 5 minutes apart. I knew it was time to go to the hospital.
Immediately I stepped foot in the car, the pains became unbearable. 

I went to the hospital emergency unit from where I was wheeled to the Triad. I was checked and discovered to be 6cm dilated. Immediately I was taken to the delivery room. The nurse checked and said I was 8cm. Shortly after that, I felt an explosion. I started shouting, nurse something just ruptured! Its your water, the nurse replied. Shame catch me small. 

She checked again and I was 8.5cm dilated. At that point I asked for an epidural because the pain from the water rupturing tripled o. I was alone with no one to rub my back or anything. 

Once I had the epidural, I gave the nurse my phone to snap me, no more pains. I was balling...HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

At about an hour, I was fully dilated and the doctor had arrived to deliver my baby.I told her not to give me any tears. That was when I realised that I didn't watch a single YouTube video on how to push.

I tried and tried. Why didn't I remember to Google this na? I pooed on the bed, yet baby didnt come out.They had to turn off my epidural so that I could push well. Once I started feeling pains again, I knew I had to try my best. I prayed a short prayer and my son came out. I must remember to thank the nurses who were super nice especially my Jamaican nurse.

All I was saying was Thank you Jesus. He was placed on my chest and what a joy! So you are the baby I have been carrying upandan.
He is two weeks today and I am already anticipating the next babies! It's not a bitter sweat experience, just prep yourself.

May God grant all TTC mothers their own babies this year. You are in my prayers.

Thank you.
