Nigerian doctor recounts how woman in Labour lost her first child, womb after refusing to undergo CS

Dr. Penking DP on Twitter

A Nigerian doctor has appealed to religious leaders to stop demonizing Caesarean Section (CS) following a sad incident wherein a woman lost her first child and her womb after refusing to undergo a Caesarean section also known as C-section.

In a Twitter thread, the doctor said the woman had an obstructed labour. The Doctor on call decided on C-Section, however, the pregnant woman kicked against it and said her pastor told her that she was supposed to deliver “like the Hebrew women,” adding that her family doesn’t approve of CS.

She asked to be taken to church but later returned to the hospital. Sadly, she lost her baby and her womb in the process, according to the doctor.
