Alhamdullilah, and a very big Thank you to all the Midwives on the page and all the Midwives of Madina .
I am a follower of this humble page, I read a learnt from this page.
My journey was a smooth one, no nausea ,no vomiting. At 32 weeks months I had issues with my eye so I had to an early maternity leave from work. At 36 weeks, I kept praying labor should set in latest by 38 weeks. I prayed so much but God’s time is the best.
I started feeling some waist pains on 18th April. The following morning around 10 am contractions began and i started recording it. It was very severe so I endured and went about doing my chores and did some exercises afterwards, around 6am the following day I saw the blood show. I called my midwife and she suggested I wait till the contractions become unbearable then I report to the hospital. Surprisingly the contractions stopped till later that evening then my water broke. As I learnt on this page about the possibilities of an infection after the water breaks, I hurriedly reported to hospital but when I was checked I was only 1 cm, I was hospitalized and then they infused some antibiotics. The contractions were on and off, I was restricted from exercises or doing anything vigorous as the water kept ozing out. On Thursday 21st April, I began feeling pains in the chest I did a scan and was told the baby was alright and the water around him was adequate it’s his butts that is pressing my chest eeeiii.
I was checked around 2 pm and was 4 cm eeeeiii after all the pains I was enduring. Well to shorten the long story, I was given a drop which I believe had some kind of drug in it to fasten the contractions because at some point I got tired , whenever I was down, l remembered your words of encouragement. At some point I disconnected the drip because I was shivering
. There was blood everywhere and was from my hand.
Around 4:40 am on 22/4/25, I called the nurse on duty to come and check how much I have dilated because at that point I was really getting tired and breathing in and out during contractions wasn’t helping. She felt reluctant at first because I wasn’t shouting like the rest of the women in the ward, she was surprised when she checked and I was fully dilated. I was very happy also, I was asked to push around 5 am and I did 3× all that came was poo
, eeii another wahala. They cleaned me up, and after the 2nd push my baby boy was out. I actually gave birth on the estimated due date : 22/4/25, baby weighed 3.5kg no episiotomy, no tear. And am a first time mum.
I was able to go through this because I read a lot and followed almost all the advice you gave on this page.
