My Journey To Motherhood

Good day my beautiful mommy and daddy on this great platform, it is good to be here with you and it is my first time posting on this amazing community. Today I will love to share with you my journey to motherhood.

I got married in year 2021and after my wedding i was expecting to get pregnant but no I wasn't and that kept me worried. a month after my wedding nothing, I couldn't bear it again so I went to the hospital to complain and run some test.

The doctor that attend to me looked at me and was like madam who is disturbing you at this early stage of your marriage, she was forced to ask me when I got married and I told her 3rd of July and I went to the hospital August so she was a bit angry, then I told her no one is disturbing me just that I was worried on my own.

After everything,She explain to me how to calculate my ovulation period and she prescribed some drugs for me, I started using the drug and also calculating my ovulation period but to no avail. I stop using drugs when I get tired of ti because I don't really like drugs from the start.

When God says is time my last period came December 1st and after sometime I did my PT test as usual and I found out that am pregnant. Wow I was so excited after series of drugs and test at a point i stop buying PT in my area, I will go far away to get it. When I told my husband , he was so happy and shower me with a lot of love and affection and care

My first trimester
The experience was a sweet one, the part I hated most is the morning sickness oh my God! it's always bitter not quite long spitting join and that Is what I even hate more because that makes everyone knows what was going on. To the extent that my pupils that I was teaching started giving me a special treatment coz I taken primary 6 and they are well mature. they control themselves whenever I doze off because I don't sleep at night but I sleep a lot during the day.

My second trimester
My antenatal was another part which I enjoy more, I will collect antenatal money (is funny right) yes, I will collect antenatal money and use it to buy fresh fish (Titus) and the amazing part is on a normal note I don't eat fish but all thank to pregnancy I started eating fish infact I won't fry it, I will just boil it and eat it like that. My first scan review that I was carrying a multiple gestation, I was like what's all this grammar, and they told me it is twins and I was like are you kidding me 👁️👁️, I am a first time mom and I'm carrying two babies at the same time, it was unbelievable. My babies keep on growing by days.

Then come the last trimester I started having sleepless nights, the babies will be calm in the afternoon and during the night time they will be active and it seems everything is now slow, my phone calendar became my regular customer I will calculate and calculate most especially when I know they were twin. I can't wait to see those bundles of joy.

At that stage I kept doing scan every time because one of my baby was not in the right position and the date keeps changing I wasn't happy about it. it made me sad so I told a colleague of mine and she advised me to take beverages (bournvita) then I started taken it. a week before delivery I was not myself again I visited hospital twice before delivery the pains was serious I don't know where is coming from but then I still wake up early to go to work. I gave birth during summer.

I was fixed to the first week of summer lesson I make sure I attend my classes except for my appointment day. one morning I enter the class and the whole place was smelling as if there was a dead rat there I couldn't stand it, I send my pupils out and other staffs came in to see what was smelling but nothing was found and the children were just looking at me, I was so ashamed of myself because of the drama I did for them. Then the second week I went for my appointment as usual and nothing again, it was then I started praying coz I was told twin are always 8 months or 10months but I don't want the 10month coz it seems like 10years to me. my appointment is always on Thursday so that night stroke Friday this pain started again around 12midnight I was still bearing it but couldn't sleep.

Thanks fully I started feeling sleepy around to 3 and I slept off it was the water that woke me up around 4, I jump off the bed and everywhere was filled with water then a part of me was happy and the other was not bcoz of my babies position. I kept on praying till 6am and this rain started, I entered the car and went to the hospital. I was ask to do another scan which I did and the position was still the same at the moment I was very scared because I don't want CS, and I know that the best option at that point so I was advice to go for it to save the babies and myself. my prayer because more powerful I started praying with all the strength I have even though I was hungry but couldn't eat.

I entered the theater few minutes to 12 but before then I called my mom and told her mummy started praying but I couldn't tell her that I was going for CS because she has been praying against it. after entering I was ask to pray and during that process I was gone. when I woke up I found myself in the hospital room with my babies and my mom calling my name asking if I am ok or not(smile) I told her am hungry.

The journey was so sweet and sour but at the end of it all in happiness, I carried my to girls in my arms and it feels like a dream to me. I was indeed blessed.
