Labour Room Drama 279

This Labour room drama is indeed drama filled....OMG!!!

Hi Stella,

I just thought to share my story with you because of a promise I made to God, that if he Grant's me supernatural childbirth, I'll tell the world about it.
Please pardon me, it's a really long read.


So long before I got married, I've been a blog visitor. I'd read a lot of stories on your blog, some really scared me. One stood out for me, this lady said she read the book, supernatural childbirth, and when she went into labour, she forgot everything, some comments also said they threw away their Bibles and forgot Christian songs it was really funny to me. So I took a mental note of that book.


Fast forward to years later, I got married. In less than a month, we were pregnant, 3 months later we lost it. We took in again, lost in a month, my husband never pressured me, and the doctors kept saying high blood pressure. My husband was asking why I was thinking too much, that our baby would come.


December 31, 2018, we went for crossover service, we had bought strips earlier to test but decided to cross over to the new year before testing. When we got home, we rushed to test, it was a single line. We tried to hide our disappointment, I picked the strip and looked at it again and saw a very faint second line, we screamed and were so happy. Apparently, we expected to the 2nd line to appear in one second.🤣


So I started taking folic acid, more fruits and all. I remembered that book, bought it on jumia. Before I read the book, I always thought supernatural childbirth only meant you delivered "sharp sharp",i Didn't know it meant different things to different people. To the author, it meant primarily no pain, amongst other things.


when I read the book, the one I picked and wanted for myself was
1. No labour pain 2. No cravings 3. No abnormalities 4. No tear🤣🤣🤣
5. A 2.8kg baby🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Based on the instructions in the book, I made a prayer and daily confession over my pregnancy, that labour would be "fast and painless, and that one hour after my water breaks, my baby would be out.


People of God, if I knew how powerful my tongue is ehh, I would have made 1000 declarations. We learn everyday.


My pregnancy was sweet. I vomited in the 1st trimester, but just a few times, 2nd trimester  I had tooth ache, did the procedure, took big drugs. Satan now put the fear that my baby would be deformed but with faith, we scattered it. I didn't have cravings, just pure long throat and my husband would indulge me. Icecream, shawarma, food!!


Fast forward to last trimester, during my last antenatal at 37 weeks 4days, while I was given my drugs, the guy looked at my file and said i had 4 more weeks, that 1st pregnancies last up to 42weeks, I said God forbid. I was already tired.


By the next ante natal, I was 38 weeks, 4days. I went in for check up, the doctor said they need to check if i can deliver vaginally, I said okay, how? She said she would put two fingers. I just stood up, she begged and begged before I agreed. She wore her gloves and asked the nurse to hold me down, I guess this is why I panicked. She SHOVED her fingers into me, I screamed and started struggling. She was now the one trying to remove her fingers because I held her arm between my legs and twisted it. 

She said she wasnt done, I told her I was not doing again and started crying. I called my husband and he told them not to touch me that he's coming. She said I was 3cm dilated already. I asked how? When??

When I left that office, nurses were massaging the doctor's arm because of me.
We went for scan, baby was 3.5kg, kicking furiously and doing very well.


That day was a Thursday, so I went home. I continued my evening walks with my husband, they told me to come back the next day, by Friday morning I was 4cm. No pain. Just pressure, the stomach will be hard for minutes, then go back to normal. Baby's heartbeat was monitored, strong and regular. So Friday, they told me I would stay in the hospital incase I dilate very fast. I got a room in the general ward. In the evening, I went to the street across the hospital, ate rice, plantain, egg, beans and took big pepsi. They were looking at me like...who is this whale eating? My husband came from work to check on me and by that evening after the stroll, 5cm.


The doctors kept asking me if there was pain, I said no, they didnt understand it, but I did. It was what I prayed for. My husband left to come back the next day. 

Infact, my dad was in town for a conference, but when he heard I was in labour, he stayed back, then my mom travelled with my younger sister to come for omugwo on Friday. When she touched down, she didnt come to me o, she went straight to her husband. My father had said he wouldn't come near the hospital until I delivered. He's scared like that.


So friday night before I slept, the doctor came to check baby, everything okay. He said he had not seen where a woman was in labour but no pain, and that I'm just dilating gradually and baby is doing well, that by tomorrow he would induce me to speed things up. What did I know??

My husband just prayed with me, asking God to speed things up and left. I slept like a baby!!! By 9am the next day, he came with food and drinks, I ate. Doctor checked, i was 8cm gone.
People of God, no pain, no headache...not a single thing. My water did not break too at that point.


They said they would induce me so I'll give birth in an hour. I agreed. Had I known!!!


THIS IS WHERE THE DRAMA STARTS


They gave me a drug under my tongue and put a drip. By this time, I'd called my mom to ask why she wasnt with me yet, she said she was on her way to the hospital with my sister. I said okay.


After like 5minutes, I started feeling small discomfort, I told my husband I was thirsty, he went to get water. In less than 2minutes, I was throwing up all I ate, they rushed to get the matron. She said this is one of the signs, that it's time, let's go to the delivery room. I stood up and was walking, the pain started coming small small. I was looking around for my husband, I saw him coming with the water, i shouted at him and he ran and helped me to the ward.


I have a feeling that they didnt expect the drug to work fast, so they didnt set up anything for me. The 2 doctors on call were operating somebody in the ward beside me. The nurse around was assisting them. Just the matron and my husband. 

The matron told me to climb the delivery bed, I said no. By now the pain had reached like 60%. They begged me, I kept saying I wanted to poo, that they should allow me go to the toilet, the matron said no, that I should poo on the bed and they would pack it.

My husband begged me before I climed that bed. As soon as I lifted my leg, my water broke!
I remembered my daily confession, that once my water breaks, my child would be born in 1hr.


When I laid on that bed, the pain went to 100%. So imagine me that had no history of pain from 0 to 8cm, experiencing the highest part at once. I held my husband's shirt, I was shouting baby oooo...baby ooo, with every contraction, a load of shit followed.

With the pain, I was still shouting, "shebi I told you people I wanted to poo, now see I'm pooing here". The contractions were back to back, no second of rest.
Then one young guy walked into the ward, I'm sure that guy would not be more than 30years old. Apparently, he was supposed to be the supporting doctor in the operation, but he came late, so he was asked to deliver my baby.

He asked the matron how dilated I was, she was just confused. He wore gloves to check, I screamed "don't you dare touch me!! None of you should touch me!!!"

He didn't get angry o..he said "I'm sorry madam, we won't touch you" I just want to know how you're doing. I was in pain and I was mad!! I spat out the drug they put under my tongue. I told them I was going to pull my drip. Labour pain can make you crazy. My husband has never seen me act irrational. He was shocked, helpless and almost crying. Strong igbo man ooo
Another contraction hit me, I screamed and started begging my husband for CS, the young doctor asked the matron the dose of the drip she gave me, she said 20mlPer something, I dont remember, he cautioned her that it was too much and reduced it to 10. So I was now getting like 2mins rest before another one hits.


He asked me to breathe through my mouth, when it comes, I should take deep fast breaths, it helped o..I dont know how it worked but it helped me, so I wasnt shouting anymore, when the contractions give me break, I will remind my husband of the CS, "baby it's me o, have I ever begged you for anything like this before? Baby please na", he was so helpless bcos the doctors said I'm too far gone and baby's head was almost out. All I heard was no. I told him "who do you think you are? Is it your body? If you wont sign, give me the form, I'm an adult!! Call my mother to sign!!"


I'm cutting out so much details because I gave them drama that they had not seen in a long time.


When baby's head was visible, they told me. I shouted "Liars!!! All of you are liars!! So I wont do CS abi? You're wasting my time, bring the form!!!!
They told my husband to check, he said yesss, he has seen baby's head, I told the matron to check and she said it was true.
My husband later said he didnt know what he was checking for but had to say yes too.


They told me it was time to push, I pushed, he said I wasnt doing it well, that i should bend forward and look at my navel and push, I tried again and he told me to stop. He whispered to the nurse that she should prepare for episiotomy, that baby's head was big and they would have to cut me if not I would tear in 3 places. I said "who do you want to cut? If you dare cut me ehh..I was shaking my finger at them.

See Stella eh, even me didnt know I had such troublesome behaviour until labour. I was warning the doctor during delivery. I was talking and asking questions in the middle of mind blowing pain.

He begged, I said only if they numb the area, quickly they brought injection, gave me a shot on my vagina, poked the place after some few seconds and asked if I felt anything, I said no, the doctor made the cut, I just felt warm trickle, he said with the next contraction, I should push how he taught me.
When it hit, I pushed with everything in me, her head came out. The doctor was happy!! He unwrapped the cord from her neck, asked me to push again, they pressed my stomach and out flew 4kg of God's faithfulness looking completely like her dad.


She wasnt crying, the matron was tapping her back, the doctor said no, rub her back gently, and she let out the biggest scream. All the pain disappeared at once!! Atleast for that time, they cleaned my baby and took her to my mom. Placenta was out in seconds.
All of these happened in less than an hour, before they stitched me up and I went back to my ward.


Anytime the doctor came to check me post birth, the shame I felt ehhh. I gave him hell!! He explained every injection he had to give me and why, He never lost his cool, I asked at least 50 questions in labour, he answered every one calmly, never got angry even as I shouted.
If these are the doctors schools are grooming now, Nigeria is in safe hands!!


Pictures attached for your eyes alone. About 30mins old and 6months old


Supernatural childbirth for me was God taking away pain till 8cm and giving me a 45mins childbirth.
I'm in awe of you father!!! If you've lost and still TTCing, God is about to bless you. Trust Him!!

Wow,congrats,your baby looks so beautiful and you look set for another drama in the labour room..hehehehehehehehehehhe
