So my EDD was 18th September, 2021. So on Tuesday 14th September, I had done a lot of cleaning in the house preparing for my date. In the evening I had a long walk with hubby and was very tired but hubby still tried to have his way during the night….
And I woke up on Wednesday 15th September around 7:30am and headed to the washroom. Whilst there I felt some slight pain like menstrual pains. I checked myself and saw blood. Immediately I called hubby and told him labor had set in. I took a sharp bath. And afterwards I started having painful contractions but within short intervals. So I called Midwife Sally and told her everything and she told me what to do. My hospital was closer so I went with Hubby without my things. I was checked and had dilated 4cm.
Later I was told to go and bring my things. So to cut it short, dilation kept progressing. But the painful thing was when the midwife had to check with their hands for dilation. Another wahala. So I kept checking till I was told I was 10cm dilated. And that was when another ‘push story began’. I was told to gather strength to push when there is contraction. Eeei I will push and push but no show. At a point in time was given malt to drink water.
Thinking I was weak or hungry. This happened for almost an hour. At one point I held my husband’s hand who was with me in the labor ward and told him to pray because all my strength was gone. But I don’t know how but I gathered all the strength to push at the last minute and the baby girl came out around 5pm with cord around neck
. Was told later that was why the baby couldn’t come out whilst I pushed. But by grace Baby and mummy were all doing well. Thanks to Midwife Sally and her team for the good work they are doing. I pray that God sees everyone here through successful.
