WHAT ARE THE "COMMON FEARS" DURING LABOUR AND DELIVERY? | OUR DRAMATIC BIRTH STORIES!🙆🏾‍♀️

[@ivykirera287]

With the emergency C section you have a right to ask questions. In the nick of time I asked before they started cutting me open, whether I'm supposed to feel anything after the injection at the back, they did a needle test which was poking a part of my body with the needle, I felt the prick. Then they injected my back again. I heard the anesthesiologist say that the viles(containers) that store the anaesthesia drug when frozen, if it's not given proper time to thaw it remains inactive, it doesn't kick in. After the second shot, they asked me to try lift my leg and I couldn't so we were good to go. During emergencies, they tend to move so fast that they don't wait to see if the drug has kicked in. Whats weird is when they were closing up the cut the ladies had some serious gossip that they were sharing as though I wasn't there. Anyhu It's ok to ask questions...

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

This is such great insight!! Thank you Ivy..

[@Wairimu_M]

Those stories in the Cs especially once the baby is out are always LIT

[@ivykirera287]

[@ruthheti2131]

I had this emergency CS n unfortunately I wasn't prepared psychologically only for me to feel the pain as the doc started cutting n I had to be knocked out.... That traumatized me so much

[@Juddyy296]

A divinely smooth natural delivery with literally zero problems. I am eternally grateful to God

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

This is a brilliant testimony! Thank you for sharing this

[@deemburu5493]

The mgongo one! 😂😂😂 Ah, thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

So glad you did! Thank you for listening

[@bangibabs]

I know this is serious talk but the way you guys tell your story is so humorous. Loved this video. My fear with my pregnancies was having c-section and getting an epidural🙅🏾‍♀️ I am terrified of any surgery cause cannot handle that kind of pain.. I think😅 and I hate needles so the thought of being injected while in labour scared me. I had natural birth with my kids with midwives and my experience was great because of prayer and having midwives who created a calm and positive environment for me. They allowed me to take the lead and gave me constant reassurance. Getting the right support is key and my husband was also great support during labour.

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

This is a wonderful testimony! We’re so glad you got the birth you desired 🤗

[@gracezagini3703]

What a great conversation, am 32 weeks pregnant, am in WA state my baby is breached and my OBGYN was talking about doing the massage thing to help the baby turn if he doesn’t I will have to go in for a C-section, am glad you ladies talked about everything that was going through my mind and now I feel prepared,

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Wonderful! We are so glad we helped

[@kavinyamwanzia6304]

I happened onto your page and have binge watched all episodes in the last three days. Thank you for being a blessing. May God continue to bless you, your homes, your families and those you interact with immensely. I overprepared for labour and delivery, in addition to my gynea, I hired a doula who coached me during the journey, how to sleep, what exercises to do, what to eat, how to sit even 🙂 My labour started (with contractions) at midnight, got up, called the doc, called the doula, Hubby and i both showered, got to the hospital at about 2am, Hooked up to the monitor and was told that the baby's heartbeat was slowing down with each contraction. Oh we prayed and prayed...Doc decided to give me one dose of oxytocin to see if the baby could handle strong contractions, 2 minutes later I got the urge to Poo... fully dilated.. Baby boy was born at 3:56am. A mother by Grace 💛

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

This is so amazing!!! We are here for it alll

Was brought here by Soila and I love it esp as a first time mom and a believer

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Congratulations on being a first time mum. So glad you enjoy our content, I hope you are getting edified too.

[@Liz-hd5vl]

For me I had an emergency CS, my water broke at home and labor started, so I couldn't ask any questions 🤦🤦, but before the procedure I was given the terms and conditions they explained to me step by step the risks and everything, the procedure was cool, I could here everything they said during the procedure and we were talking. My milk was more than enough, I left the hospital with more than four packs, nikilala I used to wake up in a pool of milk. I thank God my journey was great.

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Oh wow! This is such a wonderful testimony!! We are here for it all!! Happy you had a great journey

[@misskenor9543]

My experience with my firstborn is almost like Wacu’s. Green stuff, labour, dilated less than 2cm for 30hrs, eventually CS.

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Woi, pole! Many hugs

[@michellemoraa6327]

Hey mothers by grace. Since I found you 2 weeks ago you've been my best podcast. Am a big fan of podcast but this is my favourite. Can't wait for the next

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Wow, thank you!

I remember my delivery story like yesterday. The pain, ooh my! No words can explain but uzuri the end goal is your bundle of joy

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Right?? And they truly are just that

[@annmuthii8336]

I've loved the channel, indeed its all by grace...

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

It really is

[@NumsM]

I wish this came out before i gave birth 6 weeks ago, coz this is soo good. My experience was same as Wacu's 1st.......weeee the labour pain for hours just for the baby's heartbeat to go down in every contraction then spike after, which led me to have the emergency CS. I was so determined to have normal delivery but God's plan was different 🙏. I thank God for this far he has brought us. Keep up the good work ladies. Glad to see my primary close friend/classmate here, Lynn we are all waiting for that book. 😊

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

We have our plans but sometimes things just don’t work that way, I’m glad you and baby are okay though. Thank you

[@LynnWacu]

Naomi hey 😊😊😊😊😊

I love how Kadzo tells her stories.... Not a mum yet but I enjoyed the topic

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Thank you!! We are so glad you are enjoying our episodes

[@nwanyibuifeobiako162]

I had my beautiful daughter almost a year ago in Abuja, Nigeria. Labor and delivery was super painful for me (plus I lost a lot of blood and needed a blood transfusion the next day). I thank God both baby girl and I came out of the experience alive and healthy. My healing afterwards was fast and uncomplicated - again, I thank God for His mercy and the support system of family and friends I had to help me❤

[@nwanyibuifeobiako162]

For context, I delivered my baby vaginally, unmedicated, at the age of 36 and I wasn't someone into physical fitness activities - I'm sure these factors combined attributed to my painful L&D experience😌

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Oh hugs mama, your testimony is so encouraging

[@anngathogo3610]

What a relatable convo...

[@mollyjumah5847]

My baby is 6weeks old, first child. I had prepped for a VB, done Lamaze, worked out through my whole pregnancy and i had really hoped for a smooth birth experience. Wueh.. I got to hospital on saturday evening and by Monday 6pm i hadnt given birth, fully dilated but baby hakua anashuka. Ended up having emergency CS.

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Woi, pole!!! Mothers are just built to be strong!!!

[@Bresley88]

This was such an amazing talk....i feel like we relate so much as mothers.... I personally relate with kadzo aki so much

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

We really do

[@the.victorgeorge]

Great to see Albert here, didn't expect it👏 He is a great guy for sure. Loved the episode - learning a lot for the future

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

He is such a gem. We thank God for him

[@wanjirukiarie329]

I will never forget the delivery process of my first born child. I was butchered like a cow and stitched mercilessly, it was so painful and i felt every stitch. Not to mention I was the 'book' for the students roaming around that public hospital. Why do they expose a woman's body like that when bringing life??? My baby was 2kgs flat and they had to tear me apart. No one told me anything about the water breaking and I was super scared of finding out anything concerning child birth and opted to stay in ignorance as my safe spot only to realize it did me more harm than good. I had preeclampsia, my goodness the blood pressure was 200 and i felt nothing, I only realized that my entire body was so swollen. Was in that public hospital for two weeks before delivering my baby girl. 8yrs later my daughter is growing up in divine health, I thank God. Still have those bad memories but I wouldn't have it any other way because i don't know how i ever lived without my precious little girl. I bless the Lord for the fruit of the womb.

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Wow!!! That was horrific, we are truly sorry you had to go through that. No woman deserves to go through that, really! Pole sana We thank God for the 8 year testimony strolling on this earth! This truly is a blessing. Thank you for sharing your story here! I hope that whoever reads this will take it as a call to research and know as much as possible about delivery

[@HardlyTalk]

I have so many questions when Kadzo said she was feeling being cut. Isn't it standard that they should ask you to lift your legs before the operation begins? This was comforting listening to though knowing most mums have fears

[@MothersByGracePodcast]

Yes, ideally it is but in that case it was literally life or death. There wasn’t much time for the normal practices. Thank God everything turned out alright. Fears are normal but what really matters is how we deal with them

[@HardlyTalk]

@@MothersByGracePodcast now it makes sense. Thanks
