THE BIRTH OF MY CHILD Chapter 6

THE BIRTH OF MY CHILD
Chapter 6

Benjamin was already in my house as early as possible and that was the first time he came to my house in a very long time due to the friction between him and my family.

He called a tricycle man for us to which we entered but he didn’t because he had to report to work and so he said he would meet us in the hospital later on and so we drove off.

While we were on the way, the pain stopped but I was a little bit scared. I kept pondering on so many questions in my head. The joy of me carrying a child that is my own made me so crazy with joy even though I was a little bit scared of the processes I may go through.

On getting to the hospital, the doctors and nurses were busy with so many other pregnant women. There was a woman that got me laughing so much because of how she was shouting.

From the way she was shouting, it was easy to know that she’s Hausa by tribe. I kept hearing “wayooo allah na… Wayooo yaro na…” It was damn funny. My mother also couldn’t hold her laughter but warned me not to be so relaxed because my own is coming any moment from now but I shrugged.

It was finally my turn. I went in with my mother to see the doctor who have some examinations told me to walk around the hospital a bit and do small exercise.

And that is the stress I hated. I don’t like walking around or doing any exercise but my mother wouldn’t let me be and so, I had to do it.

I was a little bit shy at first because of my age difference amongst the pregnant women there but I later got comfortable after seeing that they were not even looking at me because all of them were facing their own challenges and that made me comfortable amongst them.

After sometime, we were called to come in.

“Are you still feeling pain?” The doctor asked

“No Sir” I replied

“From my examinations earlier on, you are already due for delivery but you are not even experiencing proper labour pain. We need to carry out an operation” the doctor said
