I had my little boy a year ago..

I was due on 27 Oct. but didn’t go into labour.. the waiting for when the baby will come was exhausting.. The midwives came to my house to check up on me and then made an appointment to get induced.. if the baby doesn’t arrive in ten days.. then made app. on 07 Nov.
Then days went past with no sign of the baby making its way to this world..
It was 07 Nov and Me and my husband we went to the hospital to get induced. When I got there they said they will induce me and keep me in antenatal ward until signs of contractions and then they will take me to labour ward.
The did the inducing with a tablet.. and stuff… The whole day went past with no sign of contraction.. just mildly feeling pains.. but nothing serious.. The midwife told me to walk around as much as I can to make sure the baby makes its way downwards..
Then still no sign.. at 20.00 hrs. I felt a bit heavier pain which made me walk like hell.. Then the midwife came and checked.. I have only dilated 1cm my reaction was ‘Oh my god?! Will it take this much time for each cm.?’ anyway.. she advised me to have a warm bath.. I resisted in the beginning but she assured me.. I will fill the bath for you and you can lie down and relax.. and your husband can sit with you.. so I agreed..
I got into bath.. nice warm and relax.. my husband said you go and relax.. and I’ll watch TV (there was a tv in my ward and I was alone so could watch watever I wanted) When I got into the bath and relaxed.. the door opened and my husband came.. I asked why? and he said.. the midwife told him.. your wife needs you more then the TV ..

I stayed in bath for good 2 hrs… and then got fed up of the waiting.. when I came out.. it was 22.00 hrs. still on 07 Nov. and no signs.. The checked me and I had dilated another half a cm ‘yay!’ then they said to me that I will have to spend the night in Antenatal and then In the morning they will see how much I have dilated.. and they sent my husband back home.. and told him they will call him when its time.. at home my parents came to visit me few days before.. so they were eagerly waiting as well.. The midwife gave me a painkiller so I could sleep for some time but.. All night long I was moving and the pain wouldn’t get worse.. or calm down..
Then the next day 08 Nov. in the morning at 07.00 I said to them… I can’t wait any longer.. take me to the labour room. They agreed.
The midwife packed my stuff and called my husband to come over and took me to labour room..
There the midwife broke my water and said now we have to wait for the contractions.. they also tied me up to machines to check baby heartbeat and my contractions..

the contractions started to come but very irregular… some of them slow and some of them quick.. Then when it got out of control I started gas&air.. it felt like i was drunk.. I was asking the midwife how long but she didn’t understand what i was saying.. then I told my husband.. but he didn’t either so I started to swear at them as they didn’t understand anyway.. the doctors were coming in and out of the room to check but still no sign.. the last time I looked at the time it was 12 O’ clock at noon and I don’t remember anything after that.. I fainted and when I woke up.. it was 16.00 hrs… and there was a cute little baby at my bedside..

When I asked my husband what happened he said.. ‘you fainted and the doctors were losing our babies heart beat so they did a emergency caesarean’

that my story.. when my baby was born he was 9 lbs MashAllah..

Aww great story. Thanks for sharing.

I loved the bit when your Husband came back because the midwife said your wife needs you more than the TV! Hilarious!!! Couldn’t stop laughing.
