    When you started crying about the cervix check. I remember mine and it was hell😢😢😢. That time there was an intern and they were asking him questions 😭😭😭. I cried and the doctor kept saying don't move it will hurt even more. Sorry for your experience, I learnt this is what we women go through for our children. ❤❤❤❤❤. Women go through a lot throughout pregnancy 😢😢😢

      This cervical check thing was so horrible and I held back my tears at the doctor’s office until got home. What was worse is that I was not even dilated a little bit so they kept on trying to jam fingers in there and it was so painful

    Giving birth is no lie the most difficult thing I have done! One induced (water broke with practically no dialation), one spontaneous. The induction was so much more painful than the spontaneous labor. So glad they gave you the option of epidural. Congratulations mama!!

    • @ZuriAfrica
      @ZuriAfrica  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I knew being induced was going to be painful but feeling the pain of just being checked like that 😭 I knew that it was going to be worse and hospitals in Japan do all of that without painkillers. Getting before 40 weeks probably makes it more painful

      In Japan women are encouraged to endure the pain of child birth and it’s crazy to me bc haaaa. But some women can do it and props to them but unfortunately my pain tolerance is very low when it comes to giving birth. 🤰🏽
      Thank you🩷 God has got me indeed.

    Yea neh, to be pregnant is to go through A LOT. When I was induced for labour , my baby gave no f*cks. I ended up getting a C-section. Prepping for surgery is awful, they insert things and and and..... The funny part is I look back now and laugh. I hope you also had a laugh whilst editing your video - pregnancy amnesia is real. During pregnancy you cry but a few months from now, you'll be laughing.

    @fionakhudu 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I feel like being pregnant in Japan has given you the impression that you’re bigger and baby is bigger than what is expected. But your pregnancy belly is a normal size for each stage of your pregnancy, considering you’re African. Your baby size is average for an African baby. It just feels like they scared you into thinking things were not what’s considered normal for our ethnicity. I’m so sorry for what you went through. And it’s really not right you don’t get to go into labour naturally when your body and your baby are ready.. Cervical checks that early in pregnancy are also not necessary and tell you nothing because with your first baby of course you won’t be dilated at 36 or 37 weeks...and the doctors know this.
    Eish man, So sorry and wishing you the very best.
