"IF WE NIGERIANS CAN JUST LISTEN TO OUR DOCTORS ADVICE" - USER SHARES TOUCHING STORY OF HER 44YEAR OLD AUNT
A twitter user by the handle @deedeeposh has shared a sad tale of how she lost her 44year old aunt who had been married for 19years, during childbirth.
Narrating the heart trenching story, she wrote:
"Sometimes if we Nigerians can just listen to our doctors advice, more lives will be saved. I lost my aunty two days ago to childbirth. Married for 19 years and finally got pregnant with twins at 44 years old.
She wanted to give birth naturally & the doctor said she was too old & advised against it since it was her first time giving birth. She refused CS & died in the process. The twins died too. I feel so bad for her husband because that man was patient. Can’t imagine how he’s feelin"...
If I hear that "deliver like Hebrew woman" one more time eh �� thunder will not depart from that person's house! First of all, we ain't Hebrew. 2ndly S*** makes u ask "were these midwifes taught this in school" ??
ReplyDeleteChai! I’m so pained. Being pregnant at age 44 is considered high risk, so the only safe option is CS. May God strengthen u & ur family
ReplyDeleteIt's religious ignorance. Some of these women get the idea from their religious leaders that CS isn't of God. Now she's dead, the tragedy is on her.
