Tuesday, December 03, 2024 - A lady called Jane Arike Francis has narrated how her neighbour and her baby died after a prolonged labour.
According to Jane, the woman had been in labour for one week
but her husband insisted on her giving birth at home despite the midwife's
advice to take her to the hospital for a C-section.
“I just lost a neighbor this
afternoon, and I feel really traumatized about it because this was such an
avoidable death,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday, December 1.
"This woman had been in
labor for a week. She gave birth to her first and second children at home, but
for this one, the midwife said she needed to be operated on, seeing that she
couldn’t deliver on her own.
However, her husband refused
and said, “This isn’t her first time giving birth on her own.” So, he left her
at home.
“On Wednesday, when she couldn’t bear the pain any longer, they finally took her to the hospital for the C-section, which was successful, but unfortunately, the child was already dead. Today, she passed away too.”
