It's always a nice thing to read from you. You are such a talented writer who inspires me a lot. Though I've never witnessed labour before but through your experience i have gotten a clue. I also enjoyed your choice of words.Thanks for sharing your experience.More grease to your elbow
Hi Anony, I feel accomplished when I use words to pull my readers into a scenario they never witnessed. That's the power of writing! I'm glad I inspire you... you just inspired me to inspire you more. Thanks for the lovely comment. Hugs
You write very well. You managed to make it funny and vivid. I could almost recreate the scenes in my head.

"I sighted my drama queen labour companion devouring a large bowl of chicken pepper soup. She didn't look like the same person who said she had suffered too much in life. "
Lol. This isn't my first time reading this but this made me laugh out loud.
LOL I know right??
Laughing my ass off! woww Precious dear you are such an amazing writer. I had a terrible experience giving birth to my second baby. The baby was breached and he came out with his buttock instead of the head. i nearly lost my life,i pushed and pushed no way,the midwife then inserted her hands inside of me and pulled him out.it was a horrible experience, lost the baby anyways. Gonna write a post about that on my blog. Missed you sweetie,thanks for checking on me.

Look who's here! So glad to hear from you, dear. I missed you sooooo much.
So sorry about the loss of your baby. Looking forward to the post on that.
Ehugs.
Hahahaha how embarrassing! The things women go through eh.
Thanks for dropping a comment!
".... "Nye"....Looks like his mother had done all the crying for him". That cracked me up so bad. My dear childbirth ain't easy. My mum wasn't present in mine as we were not in our home country. She was constantly on the phone with me..and I kept telling her I was taking my contractions well and sailing through labor. She said "you obviously haven't gone into labor yet, cos when you do, you won't even be able to talk and smile over the phone with me". My sister, when it happened. I saw the heavens and the firmament!lol.I was holding tightly to my bed until I pulled my IV-line injected to my wrist. I was induced cos mine didn't start naturally...I Heard it's twice the pain of natural labor.It was fun reading this as always.

Bubu, it's not easy at all. Being induced really makes the pain worse as I hear. At the end of the day when we hold our babies, we smile and forget the torture and temporal madness.
Thanks for always reading!
I've came across this post and read it twice but didn't wants to comment cos i felt its a girly one which i shouldn't interfere. However i still can't get the thought of giving you kudos out of my head.
Congrats on your successful delivery and may God answer the prayers of those asking for babies too. Amen

My God! Its as if I was there with you, my body is feeling 'one kin ?? ....

Good job dear, so strong

Hi Funke,
Ahhh let your body not feel one kind ooh.
The beauty of holding your baby makes it all worth it.
Besides to some people, the child birth experience is not as "scary".
Thanks for swinging by, dear.
Awwww... I couldn't help but laugh at some points in this posts. Some nurses can be so harsh and you start to wondr why they are in the medical field in the first place. Congratulations on your mommy status, it indeed is a great blessing and no easy feat. Should you call your daughter to send her on an errand sometime and she mumbles, just reiterate this story for her. Much love.
Sorry But I Cannot Go Out With My Natural Hair
Lol, my daughter asked me the other day if giving birth to her was so painful to which I replied, "yes". Then she goes, "well, you'll have to go through that pain again when giving birth to my brother."
Ha!
The "Nye" sound is really sweet. Congrats being a mom and going through that experience. I miscarriage before and the pain I felt was not a joke. I can imagine how women feel having so many kids. But that is a strength that women beat men with.
So sorry about your miscarriage, dear. I've been down that road too and it was so painful. Women are truly strong.
My labour was ok up until the stitching of the area! I had the nicest nurses. When I kept pushing the number 2! I was so embarassed eh. I kept saying sorry n.a., sorry ma lol. The nurse told my mum " your daughter is so respectful" my daughter came out in no time . Then comes the stitching after the whole clean up in an uncomfortable half bed, with no leg rest. It was too uncomfortable. They stitched me up with no pain killers no nothing!injected water into my honey pot and told me it was pain killers! I swear with each stitch I saw the insides of my ears! I screamed so loud that my husband had to say " shebi she don born? Why them de punish the girl na" lol. I can't wait for another birth.
Oh my! Stitching with no pain killers? I can only imagine the pain.
Lol at pushing number 2. We understand.
I love how you say you can't wait for another birth. The experience is totally worth it!
Thanks for stopping by, Doreen!
lol it's not easy o!For my first I was a semi-mad woman but the second I was more scared than mad.I blogged about my experience for the second plus some devilish matrons from the pit of hell.I honestly do not care to have another baby.I've been scared out of my wits and I no get power biko!

Chaiii I have never laughed this much.your birth experience was really funny and similar to mine but for the fact that I didn't have a tear and didn't have a wicked midwife either but I was really going crazy.thanks for reminding me those horrible moments
