Finding out I was pregnant wasn't a difficult thing for me as I noticed I was getting darker and couldn't see my period as at when due so I had to run a blood test to be sure and to the glory of God,lo and behold it came out positive and that was out the journey started.......
First trimester was hell!!!!jeez this was my 3rd pregnancy and I never felt so horrible in the first 2,I couldn't eat anything not even water, vomiting anything that enters into my mouth,couldn't stand the odour of anything,my business had to be on hold cos I didn't have any strength,I was on bed throughout those months,went to the hospital to register for ANC,given some drugs to stop the nausea and vomiting but for where?
Fast forward to second trimester, getting little little strength but still sick,tummy was already showing unlike my previous pregnancies that it's until 6mnts before I start showing,this one na lie ooo 3mnts people don already know say I get belle.I felt very sick at a time and dh had to take me to the hospital,was told I had malaria and I got admitted, discharged the 3rd day and was feeling better.I started buying baby stuffs bit by bit as I didn't have anything related to baby in my house again cos I dashed everything out(my second daughter has already clocked 9 in March)so people assumed that's the reason my morning sickness was very severe.I did my 2nd ultrasound and it came out that I'll be having a baby girl??I said okk naa na me be mama girls as I don already get 2 girls before but who am I to complain??
Third trimester was okay,I could eat anything and everything,stronger than before but I was darker than darkness with a big nose that people hardly recognize me,chai this belle show me shege but all in all it was a wonderful experience.When I was 36 weeks,I started having contractions but it wasn't mild,I told myself that if I don't see any sign,I won't head to the hospital,37 weeks same thing,38 weeks,my mum advised I go to the hospital.When I got there,my BP was checked and was told it's a bit high,still having contractions,got checked and cervix was closed, doctor also told me that at my last appointment that I did urine test,that there was protein in my urine and the only available option is to have an elective CS(this was on Oct 25th),he wanted to admit me immediately but I told him I would like to go home first and come back the next day.When I got home,told dh and he said it's fine so far it's for the safety of both mother and child,called my mum and she had to come stay with us and as early as 5am the next day,we headed to the hospital.At about 9:15am,I was taken to the theatre and that was it,woke up 5mins to 11am and felt my pregnancy had disappeared lol,saw mum and dh beside and the first thing I asked was "where's my baby"and they handed my baby over to me.Who am I not to be grateful Oh Lord!!!.
Momma's in as much as we all want to experience labor, please if the doctors advised you go for CS please it's for our own good, I've seen cases where some women will bind and cast anything related to CS and at the end loosing either the mother or child or even both sometimes, please CS is not a sin or curse.May God bless all our LOs and safe delivery to the remaining momma's,there shall be no loss
