THE BIRTH OF MY CHILD Chapter 9

THE BIRTH OF MY CHILD

Chapter 9

The days that followed the birth of my child was a terrible one and that was because I couldn’t breastfeed her properly.

My nipples were wounded and so I usually felt a huge pain whenever I try to allow her suck it. The pain was so huge that it sometimes makes me behave as if I’m getting mad (literally).

It would just tamper with the activities of my brain in such a way that I could easily forget the faces of my family members and those that were around but I always remember the faces of my child and Benjamin.

I kept hearing voices telling me to follow them and make sure to bring my baby and Benjamin.

The whole thing was getting too much and so my family, Benjamin and his mother were around that night. They began to fire so much prayer on me. It was a tough war.

Everything subsided afterwards and little by little I began to regain myself but we had to rely on NAN and sometimes I express the milk in a sterilise cup for the baby to drink the milk which was also a painful thing to do but not as painful as allowing the baby to suck directly from the breast.

Because it was an operation, I couldn’t walk properly for a long time as I had to keep holding my stomach. It was so painful to walk and I couldn’t talk much.

So many people were always talking against my situation but I kept thanking God for the safe delivery. It wasn’t easy at all.

Benjamin always tries to visit I and the child and was also trying to bring something for us. He was never ashamed of his baby.

Even though I thought the birth of the child would make him stick to me as his only woman, I was wrong. Benjamin began to cheat and wasn’t straightforward with me.

I caught him several time with different girls. In fact, there was a time I decided to visit him at home with my sister even though I still couldn’t walk properly because of the pain. When I got to his house, I was shocked to find him on bed with another lady.
