GOING THROUGH LABOR WITH GRIEF – A MUM’S STORY
EDD – 10/07/24
DOD – 10/07/24
Through C/S
First time mum
My pregnancy Journey was very comfortable and smooth. I’ve not had any issue throughout; no vomiting, no spitting of saliva , no shortage of blood everything was intact. Just that I got exhausted along the line which is normal.
My contractions started on 9th July 2024 @ midnight. I managed through to morning called my sister to come drive me to the hospital because initially I taught I could drive myself to the hospital because there was no bloody show, no water break too but contractions were very regular. Then I heard the doorbell, it was my Dad and my Uncle. They brought a bad news but didn’t know how to tell me. The long and tall of it is that my mum had passed. I couldn’t control my tears 😭, having contractions and crying hmmmm it wasn’t easy at all for me. Who will bath my baby now, I had to put myself together at a point and make a decision, which I did with God being my helper.
Got to the hospital around 1pm, was checked and I was only 1cm eeii with all this regular contractions only 1cm yooooo. Evening at 8pm was 2cm, meaning I was just not progressing. They had to do what they will do by putting some infusions , contractions became more painful but still slow progress now 5cm the next morning around 10am.
Baby in distress now so emergency SC.
I even opt for it before they could say anything. I signed and was prepared for the Theater within 30mins by 12:30 in the afternoon my bundle of joy was out and crying. We stayed at the hospital ( Ga East Municipal Hospital ) 3days and was discharged. Reaching home, i want back to watch video on wound care after CS by Midwife Sally and Midwife Eunice, took my medications on time, eat well and got a support person.
Guys, within two weeks my wounds healed. I even had sex with my husband in the within a few weeks. hahahaha 😂
In fact I will encourage everybody to take the classes seriously coz it has helped me a lot.
Thanks Midwife Sally for adding me
Thanks midwives God bless you all
Thanks to the Doctors and Nurses of Ga East Municipal Hospital, Kwabenya.
