A Nigerian doctor has dished out strong advice to Nigerians as he shares a story of a pregnant woman who lost her baby and her womb because she refused to be operated on.
In a Twitter post, the doctor identified as @drpenking on Twitter revealed that a pregnant woman had an obstructed labour.
When the doctor decided to operate on her to save mother and child, the woman insisted on delivering the normal way because her pastor had said she’d deliver like ‘the Hebrew women.
She went on to reveal that in their family, they don’t do CS. The woman requested to be taken to the church instead.
However, the lady was later rushed back to the hospital but it was too late. She lost both the child and her womb.
While sharing the story, the doctor advised Nigerian s to stop demonizing Caesarean section.

She had had uterine rupture with total myometrial and serosal disruption. Baby was floating in the peritoneum, dead. Uterus was bleeding like an ocean and could not be repaired . It was removed . The child was her first child. She lost her first child and lost her womb for life.
Stop demonizing CS. It is a life-saving procedure and nothing is wrong with it.
For all pastors who keep making women lose their children by telling them lies, God will ask you on your dying bed.
CS does not make you less of a woman.
Having CS doesn’t mean you are a weakling
Having CS doesn’t make you inferior
Stop demonizing CS”
