EDD : 25th August
1. All thanks to Yahweh for how he has brought me.
2. second thanks go to our noble and able midwives, Who out of their intelligent, created a group like this so we the Inexperienced can become experience. May Jehovah bless you all.
My nine months journey was 50/50. this is because, the first 4months, I was down to earth. I experience almost all the symptoms of pregnancy. These are: nose bleeding, heart burn, nausea, vomiting etc.
Stood on my feet at 16 weeks. from this time, was feeling hunger regularly.
Fast forward at 20 weeks, I did a scan to know the sex of the baby. The gynecologists’ said baby buttocks was down but I shouldn’t worry since there are more time and baby Can turn anytime.
I have been doing my exercises, house chores hoping for the best.
At 36 weeks, went for another scan and my baby was still breech with weights: 3.1kg.hmmm. I was losing it. At my hospital, I was directed to a specialist who said I should come and book for C.S which will be done at 38 weeks. I quickly posted a question on the platform to know if I can change the hospital to get a second opinion.
Midwife Sally said , yeah I can seek for second opinion.
Now from what we have learnt from the class, which our midwives always saying choose a hospital that that have all the facilities. I went to a regional hospital. I don’t want to leave my pregnancy to chance.
At the regional hospital, the doctor said they help deliver breech babies, but she said, this will happen based on the weight of the baby, that’s 2.5 to 3.5. My hope was high now since I delivered my first child by vagina birth.doc. said if by 39 weeks and baby hasn’t come, depending on the weight, then cesarean section will be done.
At 38 weeks, I went for another scan and hmm baby was 4.2 kg and breech. With this weight, my doctor said CS is the only option. from things learnt from the pregnancy class, I agreed and we booked for CS. on Friday. Labor set in and I rushed to the hospital for emergency cesarean section .My girl arrived at dawn 2:46am.mum n baby doing well.
