The Diary Game: ||18/05/2024|| Brianna Mariya Mustapha's (Delivery Story)

Baby Brianna❤️💜💛🤍🩷

On the 16th of May 2024 I got a call from my brother that his girlfriend was in pains and it seem it was going to be the day she would deliver. I heard her voice in the background and it sounded like someone in pain but to me she was not there yet.

I asked him if they were sure it was labour pain cos she still sounded really strong, well I told her she was really strong and encouraged her. I prayed a very short prayer with her and asked my brother to pray for her when they get to the midwife.

He called me later on, that she was at the centre but refused him following her, she said she was going to be more scared with him around, so their neighbour followed her instead. Her water broke with the help of the midwife.

I was in a happy mood, had the music on loud, I was singing, dancing, praying and just extremely happy, anticipating the arrival of my nephew, that was our thought though😁.

I asked my bro if he told other family members like my dad and mom but he said no, until baby comes, so I kept the information only between my husband and I.

Finally in the evening I got a call that she was back home and it was false labour (Braxton hicks). No wonder she was strong, I thought as much(I said to myself).

But they broke her water, many things were running through my mind. I don't like to interfere much on couples decision but the midwife decision for first birth wasn't a good decision to me.

The next day, after stressing my head out the previous night, I decided to call them to know if maybe she put to bed while I was sleeping or was in labour, they said none.

I told her to immediately start exercising with the help of brother, hop like a frog, go up and down, keep walking around, do the baby mama dance and all that. I told them she needed to be in labour.

I also asked that they get date for her to eat, raspberry tea or drink if possible, jute leaves just everything I could think of aside from castor oil, which in my mind will be my final suggestion the next day.

I prayed and slept, then got a call as early as 6:am from them, they said she was in pains. I asked that the phone be handed to her. I noticed she was struggling to speak, I told my brother, that it was time and they needed to be at the centre as quickly as they could.

I called after few minutes to find out report from the midwife but they said they were walking so she could be in full labour. I shouted at my brother, told him whatever exercise they were trying to do, they should get to the midwife first and do exercise around the area, no worries.

My brother called, he said sis this time, this pain really got to her. That other pain the other day was a joke compared to what she is feeling now.

They got to the midwife, he left her there with their neighbour again, while calling to check up on them. I was worried and praying for her too, I kept on calling my brother over and over to know how she was doing.

Finally!!! I got a call from my brother but network was bad, I managed to get the message he was trying to pass. She had finally put to bed, her and baby were ok, but she was tired and was trying to rest.

It was joy joy joy and a huge relief, I was super happy. I asked if I could share the news, he was just so happy then he relied; of cos. I called daddy and mommy, everyone was just so super happy.

I am a first time aunt, I might get called aunty by younger generation, that one is totally different. This is my brother's daughter, my niece, I just couldn't thank God enough.

Again, welcome to this world Brianna Mariya Mustapha, you will be great and this earth will favour you with all its goodies, you will be treated by all like royalty, you are a princess.

Hours after she came into the world

Mariya was my late mother's name, it feels good having someone again being named after her and this time, it is her grand daughter. This Mariya will be much greater and will live life till she is old and ready, she will enjoy life and this life will favour her always, Amen and Ameen 🙏🙏🙏

THE END

See my niece @wakeupkitty, @josepha, @ibesso, @aminasafdar
