Labour Room Drama - 298

Imagine a drama with drama............

I got pregnant a year after marriage, I was highly expectant. I was strong and agile all through and no one knew till the 5th - 6th month, no sickness.

I was gathering information mainly from this segment, it really helped during and on the main day.

I passed my due date by a week, went to clinic, I was sent to a doctor, he performed membrane swap, gave me a week to come back to be induced if there was no sign.


A week passed, no show, I went back, just me, met the same gynaecologist, he looked through my file and said ''Madame are you ready'' I answered yes, He checked again before the process, I was 3cm gone, without any sign.


He asked if I came with my bag, I had to call hubby to bring it, i was transferred to the ward, hubby came with my bag.

We walked a long distance, he left for work and we didn't tell anyone, by 4pm during shift change, I was checked again and i was 5cm dilated, the new doctor said by next morning i should be ready, hubby called and asked if he should come and I said he should come the next day because it was during the lockdown curfew, we had no means of transportation and it was a govt hospital and had no space.


By 8pm I had moved to 6cm, by 10pm I was moved to labor room ( Friday hallelujah challenge) we (2) were told to chill till morning so I joined the challenge and danced like I was to be paid, by 5am I had progressed 8cm , i was given drip and the drama started.


I didn't shout but only breathed hard (according to what I had read, shouting will not ease the pain) I went with the flow but the pain was back to back, i was given a little tear, by the time I was to push I gathered my strength by holding a nurse and pushed, baby came forth, the pain disappeared.


I was stitched and the nurses had to get things from my bag themselves as i was alone...,After all the cleaning I called hubby ,he almost jumped out of his skin.I was discharged same day.


Fortunately for me baby came on my birthday, he waited extra 2 weeks to be mums birthday mate.I have no choice now than to be celebrating my birthday with my son..


Thanks to God.
I can't wait for another journey again.
God bless all women trusting for such experience.
Shalom.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this segment, it really helps.

Congratulations to you and your family.
