Gratitude To People That Helped Me During Labor (Part 5)
Finally, I would like to specially thank my brother Emeka for all the help he rendered during my birth stay at the hospital. Emeka rendered so many services that were so valuable. He ran lots and lots of errands, helped to bring whatever was needed at the hospital. Infact, if I am to add all the help he rendered, I would conclude that he did the highest job ever. That's why I saved the best for last. Special thanks to Emi!

Gratitude To People That Helped Me During Labor (Part 4)
Continuation of my thanksgiving post huh...
Yes, I will like to thank my sister-in-law fondly called "Mama Chidimma" as we have come to know her as. She played a key role in buying a lot of clothes for baby Akachukwu from Lagos and he is still wearing some of those clothes today. She also purchased so many baby items at affordable prices direct from Lagos.
A big round of applause to my mother-in-law for all the phone calls that she made. She wasnt there physically but her numerous phone calls made her presence felt. She was always calling to find out every step and stage.
Another big round of applause to my sister Christabel, her husband, and her husband's family. Christabel my sister sent me a big travel bag fully packaged with newborn 0-3months clothes. Correct new first class cotton clothes. If you price such quality baby clothes in the market, it will be nothing less than N500 each. So imagine me collecting a travel bag of such clothes. I didnt have to spend money buying baby clothes. A big thanks to her.

Gratitude To People That Helped Me During Labor (Part 3)
I really want to thank my brother Chuks and his wife Esther for all they did for me during my time of labor. Chuks accompanied by his wife drove me to the hospital in the night around 8pm when labor signs set in. They stayed there until i was admitted into a room. They had to leave around 10pm to go back home. A day after delivery, they came with a big cooler of rice and stew with fried fish. That really warmed us up because the food was mouth watering. I can't thank them enough for all the support they gave.
I also want to thank my brother Stan, his wife and family for being very supportive financially. They gave us money in pounds which if converted to nigerian naira becomes a lump sum of money. They are based in Uk so could were supportive in this manner as they could not nlbe physically present. Thanks to them.
I cannot forget to thank my sister Ada and her husband Mike for the role they played. After delivery, they came visiting with their own yam peppersoup popularly called "Ji mmiri oku" in Igbo land, u get. Its the popular delicacy the igbo culture prepare for a woman that just gave birth. They really took out extra time to prepare that food.
God bless them all.

Continuation of the previous post....

Thirdly, I would like to thank my darling husband for the financial support he gave to me. He refused to enter the labor ward because he couldn't stand it, lol. He rather waited at the room and gave support in other ways. He helped a lot financially like buying whatever was needed and he did that as quickly as possible. He had already bought all the baby things pre-term which helped me to prepare emotionally for the D-Day. He ran around, driving back and forth to ensure that he provided all the items needed. He drove a 2hours journey from Owerri to Port Harcourt on 24th morning cos he wanted to be present. A big thanks to him.
I would also like to thank my father for the financial support he gave too. He prayed constantly. As of that day, he was at the villa. He travelled to the village 3days ago for an event so wasn't around at the time. Immediately he heard i had given birth, he was filled with joy and started buying things for omugwo ighotago :). He bought lots of dried fish, palm wine, meat, garri etc... My father provided a lot of financial support too.
Thanks for reading.

Gratitude To People That Helped Me During Labor. (Part 1)
In my previous post, I told the story of how labor was for me. Labor pains is the highest pain I have experienced in my life. I have never felt such high pain threshold in my years on earth. So let's get to the main topic of the day, which to give credit to those who played important roles.
First of all, I want to thank the Almighty God for bringing me alive safely out of the whole labor process. The God that works wonders did it for me and I thank him specially for showing me mercy. He made sure Mother and baby came out happy and healthy.
Secondly, I want to thank my mother so much for being there for me throughout the whole labor process. She played a key role during the labor period. Massaging my back constantly, throwing out words of encouragement, holding my hands and so much more. You have no idea the gold treasure you possess when you have a mum. It is during child bearing that you appreciate the full extent of that. Mothers are so helpful and valuable.
Thanks for reading. In the next post, I will write about the roles my husband played. There are lots of people I need to thank and this will come in the upcoming posts.

My Labour Room Story
My EDD date was supposed to be Nov 18th 2017. On that day, nothing happened i.e no show. Before that date, I had already started some evening excercise as recommended. So when the date past, I just continued my routine exercise. It was past my due date on the 24th that I started receiving some labor signs.
First, my water broke at 8pm when I went to urinate. Immediately i noticed my water broke, I went to the hospital even though I didn't feel a single pain. They had to admit me since my water had already broken cos there is no way you can go home if your water has broken. The gynaecologist came and accessed me and recommended that they wait till morning to see if labor will naturally initiate at midnight.
As the doctor said, I was expecting labor to start at midnight but to my surprise, I slept very very well with no single pain, no contraction. I found myself the next morning at 6am. Around 8am, the medical team agreed that they would induce labor since i wasn't still feeling any sign. So my doctor had to induce labor with a single dose of misoprostol. Hehehehe, I laugh in swahili. It was that single tiny dose of injection that turned me upside down for the next 8 hours! Yeah labor started.
The experience of labor is something one doesn't fully prepare. No matter how you prepare your mind towards it, you are never fully prepared for what you are about to go through. Each lady passes through her own experience and each labor is unique in it's own right.
My own labor transformed me into a drama queen in the labor ward, Lol. Even though it lasted for 8 hours, those 8 hours were dramatic. I couldn't believe that such pain threshold was associated with labor. Yea, labor pain threshold is wayyy high. I started by breathing in and out for hours while bearing the pain at the beginning, then started crying plus praying for the next four hours and when I couldn't bear it anymore at the tail end, I then started screaming. Did I run around the labor ward? Sure!
For the sake of expecting mums, I tried to downplay on the labor pains. The only accurate way to describe labor pains is by going through it yourself. It's just not something you can put on a scale between 1-10. But the awesome thing about giving birth is that you forget the enormous pain you went through when you finally carry your baby in your arms :). That new life you brought into the world, staring into your eyes will tell you it was worth it.
Thanks for reading.
In my next post, I will give credit to all that played a key role during labor. Read the next post here http://akachukwuebite.blogspot.com.ng/2018/02/gratitude-to-people-that-helped-me.html?m=1

Akachukwu's Rexcharles Birth Details
Okay, why I am bothering to put his birth details in writing. It's just for posterity sake, so that I would not forget certain details.
It was on the evening after 6pm on 24th November 2017 that I gave birth to Akachukwu. The God of miracle that works wonders really extended his hand of mercy upon me. That's why I named him Akachukwu (the hand of God). There was no birth complications. The God of mercy really answered my prayers and helped me deliver normally with no CS ( caesarian section). He gave me smooth and normal delivery with only 8 hours of labor. Bear in mind that many first time pregnancies have extended labor time if it is vaginal delivery. There are few exceptions, and mine was an exception.
Ok, enough of intro, let me get straight to the topic. His birth details are as follows;
Weight: 3.2kg
Sex: Male
Delivery method: Vaginal delivery
Time of delivery: 6.18pm
Date of delivery: Nov 24th 2017.
Place of birth : Prime Medical Hospital Port Harcourt.
Body observation: All body parts and digits complete. Thank God.
