Labour Room Drama 225

Awwwwwww........She is too beautiful!!!

Good day Madam Stella

I'm TTC 95 that lost her child @ full term birth due to shoulder dystocia last year. The trauma was something else but God gave us the grace to carry on and to the glory of God we welcomed our baby girl 13th June 2018.


Let me brief u guys about last year Labour Room Drama. Early May, I woke up n started noticing I was in labour. Then around 2pm, I went to the hospital, they checked n said I was 2cm n asked me to go back home n come back when the pain is terrifying. Meanwhile, I did scan 3-4days before I fell into labour, which they signified 'Big baby'. I kept the result inside my appointment card to be taken to the hospital. 

Back to labour drama.


I was home walking around the parlour to ease the pain, the contraction was entering my brain(smile). Later around 7pm, we went back to the hospital, I was checked 6cm then I was given a bed. Kaiii my husband hear am, when the contraction is coming I will hold him tight n knee on the floor, I will shout, Aaa Nurse, pls, help me ohhhh, this pain is too much, later I will face husband, please, let go inside the bathroom n pour water on my body ohhhh, kaii this pain is too much. That was how the drama went until I was 8cm n I was ask to inside inside the pushing/labour ward. 

I entered there around 11pm, n I was instructed to lay on my side n not to push yet. When I was full dilated, the Nurse asked me to hold my legs n push. I push n pushed nothing happened, until I finally push out the head, oyaa shoulder should follow now turned to emergency case, see them running around on my case, baby head just hanging in my 'V'. The yeye Nurse that didn't check my card well, went n was going thru it, checked the last scan result n discovered the baby was big n hid  it. 

Oh me laying down there looking unto heaven begging God to give me the strength to push out this baby, after much courage to push by my husband, I finally pushed out the baby not knowing, I have lost the baby. I was not told my baby was no more until the next day. I cried my eyes out, leaving the hospital empty handed. For three months, I was still crying.



Back to my recent Labour Room Drama


After 4months, I took in again. I can spit for Africa ehnn. I was so happy n choose L.I.M.H this time around, no taking chances. My pregnancy journey was peaceful only that I was not feeling that heavy kick like the previous one, so, was always worried and going for scan. During my 36 weeks any Doctor (different doctors at every Antenatal visit)that sees me, will ask me to go for OGT, run a scan because of the previous big baby experience(4.4kg). 

The present scan was 4kg while the one I did outside the hospital was 3.77kg. Well, I was told to have CS in mind. 40weeks no labour sign, I became so worried to the extend I ran to the hospital(no appointment) to see any available Doctor for Inducement, the doctor I saw just encouraged me to go home that they can't induce me until I am 41weeks. 

41 weeks + 5days I woke up to pee, but was having contractions unknown to me, I just decided to check myself with tissue, that was how I knew I was in labour, 7am we started heading to the hospital, we got there around 9am due to 3rd mainland bridge traffic. By the time I got to the hospital, the pain had increased. I couldn't sit anymore, I was later checked n was told I was 8cm, in my mind what???? I was thinking I will not be more than 3cm. I was quickly giving drip, I called the Nurse that's to take my delivery aside, told her the previous experience so she can give me a cut, when it was time to push only to see myself pooing(smile). 

I finally pushed and my baby girl came out weighing 3.6kg without a cut. My joy knows no bound.

*God is awesome!!!!
