A night before, I prepared vegetable soup, I spent most of the following morning pooing.
it continued like that till noon, I noticed my spitting stopped. All through my 9month there was no single day that I didn't spit. I was uneasy. I told the father that I wasn't feeling well.

He pet me & helped me rub my back but it was still the same.
I went into the bathroom put on the shower & stood there for close to 10mins. my body became calm, it was as if I should remain in that bathroom.
I eventually came out but this time it became worse. I told him I will..

she looked at me with a smile & asked me to lie flat on the bed, there she put her fingers inside me & said "congratulations your baby is arriving"
Which arriving? something I didn't plan for, I told her I was not ready.
she just laughed & asked me to remain calm that I will be.

I was left there with the midwife & one other junior nurse. the father too was there. I told him I was scared, he assured me that everything will be alright.

The midwife told me that if I cooperate it won't take up to 20mins. I was relieved that at least I won't be spending much time here.

When she was done, she changed my dress... My legs were lifeless, Mami, the midwife & the nurse plus the father all grabbed me like a bag of garri & placed me on the bed.
The Dr came in & started laughing when he saw me. The nurse said "now you can shout that a new baby is born"

I could feel the hot tears on my cheeks, I immediately called my dad & then called my mum. My best friend was not left out.
Blessing don born boy ooo

Note that until that night I didnt know my baby was going to be a boy. All the scan I went for couldn't reveal the sex. "He keeps hiding himself" they said
I started labour around 4pm & gave birth around 11pm.
Mami made things easy, I didn't even sleep till the following day

No tear or whatsoever... No complications.
I was only too lazy to push through.

He is growing up to be a fine man
