My first birth Experience: Today was the day tomorrow testimony

I remember the day the doctor told me, imaobong this baby is coming, I waited, expected and I keep watching out for the signs she told me yet none came, 2 days after, I went back there and she told me imaobong if the baby is not coming, I think we will induce you before Xmas, me as a novice I was, I asked "ma'am what is induce" she started explaining the process, I also researched about it on my own, asked other mothers around questions and they told me so many things. At that point in time I just needed my baby out, I was having severe pains; morning, afternoon and night, it wasn't something to be excited about, I keep watching out.
The doctor booked me for 22nd December midnight for the deal.
I arranged my things, got ready psychologically, by 1am in the morning, my husband drove me down to the hospital and on getting there, the atmosphere was not friendly at all and I keep asking why today, why? I went to the midwife there, told her I was booked for induction process and she told me I should go and wait, coming out she came out with a dead child and the mom was seriously bleeding to death the husband was outside praying to God since he himself did not know what was happening inside, immediately the nurse came out with the death child, he started crying and shouting for the dead of his first fruit, then he saw the state of the wife, he pleaded for help from my husband and my husband took them to teaching hospital leaving me at the hospital and then I discovered that the midwife tried her best to bring out the child without help from the doctor since none was present so in the process of putting in her best to save the child and the mother the child died.
I as a person I was scared, at this point she has induced me and was watching out for me every 30 minutes by 6 pm, the pains was severe so when doctor's came in for work, the told me the atmosphere is not good for me to have my delivery there so she took out a paper wrote a referral for me and told me to go to teaching hospital, I called my husband who was already at teaching hospital to come and get me, he drove down pack my things and we left for teaching hospital.

On getting there, I showed them the letter and after due documentations, I was given a bed and I in my pains I saw a group of people with books and pen come in and one told me to lay down I did, he inserted his hand inside my vagina, talking to the people around him and low and behold blood started flowing, I had to use pad, the pains became severe, next thing I heard he told me the baby is too big, where is your husband we will be carrying out a Cesarean section (CS) on you, I was scared o why me o? Everyone I know push out the baby why is mine CS?
My husband came in, they told him, he refused, we were just praying and waiting. Soon his shift was off and another doctor came in, he came direct to me asked me " madam is this your first child, I said yes sir, he told me you have to push your baby out, let's give it another chance", told the nurse to induced me again and they did this time the pains was times two, I cried, shouted, I did everything and it will look as if the baby is coming out but when they checked they told me is just 6 percent o, I keep crying and the pains keep coming, the doctor came back, inserted is hand and broke my water, zoom off again.
The pains was just too much, I stayed there with pains for 4 good hours. The doctor came back after apologizing that he had an emergency so he went in for operation leaving me after breaking my water. He checked me again and told me there is no progress, madam we will carry you to the theatre, nurse prepare her for theatre left again.
At this point it was as if I was going to died, I keep holding in, crying and shouting.
Getting to the theatre, they laid me down, administer Anesthesia in my backbone, not knowing that it has not entered,the doctor prayed and took his knife started cutting, I shouted out in pains, I heard the doctor asked didn't you guys administer Anesthesia on her, one person immediately told them to put it in my drip, they did and that was the last thing I heard till they finished and I was still sleeping till I heard them said we have finish calling out to me, I couldn't answer because I was of sleep, I was just saying yes, yes, yes till I was taking out. I slept for 3 days and I saw my baby 5 days after, I only heard after 3 days that my baby is in incubator. Five days after they took me to go and see her, I went saw my baby and I smiled.
We went into the theatre on 23rd night came out on 24th morning.
We stayed in the hospital till 1st January of 2022.
