Exactly 3 months ago today my husband and I welcomed the most adorable miracle from God @aydree_el.
I had prayed to have a vaginal delivery but 39weeks into the pregnancy I went for a regular checkup as my instinct kept telling me something was wrong, I packed my hospital bag then headed to the hospital with my sister.
On getting to the hospital I was admitted immediately as I was low on fluid and my baby wasn’t kicking anymore.
I was on 1cm for about two weeks when the doctors finally decided to induce me into labour from 1cm it moved to 4cm then to 7cm but to my surprise, I was stuck there for almost the whole day.
When the contraction pain kicked in I kept saying “I CANT DO THIS” because my body kept rejecting contraction, my sister @teephoenix would cheer me up and encourage me, she stayed with me all through praying, pacing around.
The nurses came in because I was shouting at the top of my voice ( trust me I can’t describe this pain, menstrual cramps is still learning ) I kept saying I won’t take EPIDURAL and the nurses were staring at me like why on earth is this lady suffering herself! Each time I was contracting @aydree_el heartbeat kept dropping putting him at risk.
I can’t even remember when I shouted “I NEED THE EPIDURAL“ that thing works like magic because I slept like a baby but I woke up and was still on 7cm. They tried everything to ensure I had a natural birth.
The Holy Spirit already spoke to me and I knew I wouldn’t be able to push because I was weak, it was like watching GREYS ANATOMY when about 6 nurses and doctors came in brought in the papers to sign and they had to rush me to the operating room to have a CS.
Before I blinked my eyes I heard a cry and I saw my precious munchkin in front of my face, the procedure was so fast and I started asking myself why dint I opt for this from the scratch! I’m so glad to have used one of the best hospitals.
"I was sad I didnt have a natural birth but I said to myself, Laide, there is no award for vaginal birth. the most important thing is your life and that of your baby"
