Patient (shouting):
“Nurse! Nurse!! Come ooo! Something is wrong!”
👩🏽⚕️ Nurse Nnenna (rushes in):
“What happened sir?!”
🧔🏽♂️ Patient (pointing at IV):
“My blood has finished! Look! The bag is empty!”
👩🏽⚕️ Nurse Nnenna (looks… then sighs):
“Sir… that is not your blood. That is your drip.”
🧔🏽♂️ Patient (confused):
“So… I’m not dying?”
👩🏽⚕️ Nurse Nnenna:
“Not today sir. You’re just hydrated.”
🧔🏽♂️ Patient:
“But why didn’t it stop by itself?!”
👩🏽⚕️ Nurse Nnenna (adjusting line):
“It did stop. That’s why you called me.”
👨🏽⚕️ Another patient from the next bed:
“Nurse, please check my own before it finishes my destiny.”
👩🏽⚕️ Nurse Nnenna (laughing):

POV: You’re just minding your business and cough small… 😭
🤧 coughs
🚶🏽♀️ freezes
😳 “Wait… what was that??”
💧💧
Ahhh… motherhood really humbled me 😭
Nobody told me that after giving birth, ordinary cough can turn to “mini flood” 💀
If you relate, you’re not alone!
It’s called stress urinary incontinence — and yes, it’s VERY common after childbirth.
What helped me:
✔️ Kegel exercises (don’t skip this o!)
✔️ Not holding urine for too long
✔️ Taking care of my cough early
Motherhood is beautiful… but ah! the hidden struggles 😭❤️
