Baby weight; 3.6kg
Birth Date; 20th March
Birth week; 41 weeks
Bs! Bs!
When I discovered that I was pregnant, I wasn't happy about it cos I wasn't ready to have another child as my first child was only a year and 2months old but my husband was happy and he tagged me an ungrateful soul but I careless. I wished and hoped to lose the pregnancy at early stage, but God is not a man
The journey was a smooth one until it got to 34th week and I started having contractions coupled with fibroid degeneration. I went to the hospital and was placed on injections to stop the contractions, it stopped for a while but came back with full force the following week and I had to manage the pain since the cervix was still closed.
The contractions was on and off till 40th week. By 41 weeks, which was 20th march, my tired was already tired. I told my husband I was going to the bank after dropping my daughter at school, that was how I trekked 45mins to the bank and also trekked back. While I was on the journey, the contraction was coming back to back (15mins apart)
I picked my daughter up from school and took her to salon to make her hair, then to my friend's place opposite the salon before finally heading home, by this time the contraction was getting intense (5mins apart)
I took my bath and arranged the house while I waited for my husband to come back. Not long after, he came back with soup ingredients and was making mouth about how he wants to make a badass ogbono for me, I just told him to forget about that and help me prepare noodles for our daughter so we can head to the hospital, he did that in a rush while I soak garri with cold water.
We got to the hospital some minutes past 8pm, I got checked and was told it was just finger tip, by 11:15 I started having the urge to push and called the matron attention to it, they didn't believe me because I wasn't dramatizing, by the time the matron checked me the baby's head was visible, with just 2 pushes, the baby was out weighing 3.6kg and I was stitched up cos I had tear(that was when people knew someone was in labor because I didn't shout throughout the process.
I've finally thrown the boot into the lake of fire like a Mama stated here earlier.
