I tossed and turned in bed again at 4 am that Saturday morning when my bladder told me that I needed to take a trip to the loo. As I stood up, I felt a trickle of water run down my thighs. That was it! I knew the amniotic sack had finally opened up. It was not a gush like with my first delivery but I had read one book too many on labour. So I knew sometimes the water breaking won't be dramatic every time. I was excited to be finally close to having my baby. Being a few days overdue was not like a huge bite into a coconut cupcake (P.S. I have a love affair with coconut). It was rather like taking a peek into the promised land but being unable to get into it.
Mr. N cut the umbilical cord. We prayed and thanked God for His beautiful gift to us. Mr. N having this labour room experience for the very first time was totally priceless and just the most beautiful thing.
I have shared with you all about my pregnancies and deliveries because these stories are worth recounting. I would say that no two pregnancies or child births are the same. No matter how much you get pregnant, there would always be something different to face. All the same, it is a beautiful experience. Thank you for reading.

And she is so cute. Also the difference in healthcare and experience compared to the previous ones is too much.
Even if you get something similar, you pay through your nose.
Happy you had a much nicer experience compared to the last one. God is wonderful.

Don't ever disregard the power of this stories my dear.
Even for those of us wey never born. It is very interesting.
It was one I read long ago that got me interested in your blog. Tasting childbirth or something similar.

Stories are indeed powerful. I'm glad a story brought you here. How have you been, Soldie? Been thinking of you.

Wow Precious! It is as if I was filming this experience myself. Well written once again. Your baby is very cute. Keep writing because we will keep reading.
Thanks my darling sisi. God bless you.
"At some point I was under the illusion that she was my long lost sister who had found me. How she turned out white and me black was what was confusing" Hahaha!i have never been pregnant but you make the experience worth it. I'm encouraged.
Awww pregnancy is worth it, my dear. Thanks for reading.
Beautiful birth story with lots of humour. I like reading your stories because u make everything captivating and interesting to read. I too signed up to babycentre and tried all the crazy suggestions from drinking raspberry leaf tea to eating a bucket of pineapple to bring on labour. Thank for the kind and friendly nurses who took care of u. I can imagine the peace of mind when have someone u really trust to look after your kids at times like this. Imagine having to go through the labour pain and worry about your kids back at home. It can drive u mad. God is always there to make it a Sweet story. U are blessed my dear sis
So much peace of mind dear, to know my kids are in safe hands while in labour. Babycentre is quite an interesting place for a pregnant woman. With God, we get to have a way where there is no way. How sweet!
Aaaaaw beautiful pictures dear. I am not close to starting a family but I enjoyed reading about your experiences.x
