My Labour Story – The Longest 2 Days of My Life 💔❤️
I still can’t believe I finally get to tell this story.
At my antenatal appointment, when I was almost 40 weeks pregnant, I was told that if I didn’t give birth before my next visit, I should report to the maternity ward.
On Tuesday, I went to the hospital. After checking me, they asked me to come back the next day if I still hadn’t gone into labour.
That Tuesday night, around 4 a.m., after using the toilet, I started feeling pains. I told my husband, and we began timing the contractions. Since it was also my scheduled induction day, we decided to head to the hospital.
When they examined me, they told me something I didn’t expect.
My cervix was still closed.
The doctor started the induction, hoping my body would respond.
The contractions became stronger and stronger, but my cervix refused to dilate properly. The doctors even said they could feel my baby’s head, yet my cervix was still only at a fingertip.
Wednesday came…
Morning induction.
Afternoon induction.
Night induction.
Still waiting.
Then Thursday came…
Another induction in the morning.
Another one in the afternoon.
The contractions became unbearable.
At one point, they connected a very strong hot drip 😭😭😭. The pain became so intense that I begged the nurses to remove it. I went mad ooo ( ara gbam ooooo ) ,One compassionate nurse understood how much I was struggling. She adjusted my treatment and stayed calm with me.
As the labour progressed, they told me I was almost 6 cm and encouraged me to keep going.
I honestly don’t know where the strength came from.
Eventually, they took me into the delivery room. They placed oxygen on me and guided me through every push.
The nurses were incredible. Their encouragement, patience, and compassion gave me the strength to keep fighting.
And then…
After two long days of labour…
I heard the most beautiful sound of my life.
My baby girl was born. ❤️
Every contraction, every tear, every painful moment became worth it the second I saw her.
Looking back now, I can only say…
Thank You, God.
To every mum who has gone through labour you are stronger than you know.
And to every expectant mum reading this, your own beautiful testimony is coming too. ❤️
