Hello, everyone! I hope we are all in God's grace and mercy. The world has been in so much riot in the past few weeks but my faith is strong that God will send us peace always.
I was looking back at my old photos , I needed to delete old pictures to make space for new ones and so I stumble old upon these wonderful memories of mine, deleting hem made me hesitate because they are too precious for me andy family. I wanted to have something to look back on he coming years when growth would change them completely.
Being pregnant is one of the most wonderful thing to happen to a woman, it is receiving gift from God, a huge blessing. I already had two kids and my husband wanted two kids only as our initial plan, asked God for a son to share his love of boxing with but God had a better plan and gave us two daughters first instead.
I was taking birth control pills, but I make skips because I forget taking them hence I got pregnant and my husband and I had an argument, of course because we think that we could not afford another child because life is hard and our income is enough.
Despite the difficulties, I continued my pregnancy and on the 7th month of my gestation period, I went in for an ultrasound test and I was delighted with the result; I am carry my son and I am very excited to see him come.
My pregnancy is harder than my two recent ones, I had difficulty in walking and sitting because my son was too low in my abdomen and had to go to a midwife to help me. It was a traditional midwife and they know my touching the stomach the child's position, gender and situation, she helped me take my son upper and only then I was comfortable.
November 2 is my due date Indicated on the ultrasound results but on the last days of October 2019, I was feeling my body hut nothing had changed, I was even too comfortable to go to work until November 7.
5 days delayed has got me worried; I had to come to a midwives again to ask of the baby was okay inside. One told me that he was okay and just had to wait; my things are ready already and one sign then I will be rushing to the health center.
The other midwife told me that my son came late because of the earthquakes that happened during my gestation, she says it affects pregnant women and I do believe it. She Also said that I am already 3 cm dilated and my son would come out anytime soon. She told my husband to throw flowers at my pregnant belly and it is very effective because two days later, around 10 pm, my water burst while I was asleep and my husband and I rushed to the health center.
To haste things I asked him to use the motorcycle so while moving, the bumps would help me get my son down as soon as possible. Since it was very late already, the health workers were already asleep and it took us sometime to be opened and my contractions were getting frequent.
When we were entertained, I went straight for internal inspection and the midwife panicked When I told them my water has burst already. Soon she observed my contractions and asked me to transfer to the delivery room and it took me some time to get my son out of me. I don't know how long it took me, everything became fuzzy and only then the reality came to me when I heard my son cry.
I treasure everything I went through and I thank God for his mercy and kindness to my life. I truly am nothing without Him.
As of now, my son is already 5 years old and my daughters have also grown bigger.
