Yesterday, my neighbor was put to bed, and it was a cascade of events. Before yesterday, anytime I mentioned to her that she needed to go to the hospital for an antenatal, she would reply to me that she was a daughter of Zion and that she was going to put to bed like the Hebrew women.

Wait, she is a very religious and would do anything to follow the doctrine of her fellowship so I wasn’t expecting her to listen or understand me. She is one of those people who would not get a vaccine, get a blood transfusion, or do any of those things because she believes that her savior already did and she just needed to come to this world to live and die naturally. Thankfully, she takes medications and sometimes gets intravenous treatment but the rest are an abomination to her.

She almost died yesterday while trying to put to bed because the baby wasn’t coming out, and she was losing a lot of blood. The rest of the neighbors were unsettled, I wondered who on earth would put to bed in their home without thinking of going to a hospital. Soon we decided to call the house caretaker and inform him of the situation of which he was very shocked by and rushed down there immediately.

We are finally able to get her to the hospital where doctors began to work. When the factors gave ger husband the consent form, he didn’t know when he signed it because the caretaker had already reported to the police and they were on the stand with charges of attempted murder and so on against the husband. Finally, she was delivered through Cesarean Section of a baby boy. The husband still went to the station to clear things out but at least we didn’t have a body or two in bags because they were thinking of being Hebrew women.

There are so many reasons you sould visit a hospital during pregnancy, and they include knowing the status of the fetus’s health, looking out for the mother and making sure she is fine all through pregnancy, ensuring that the right method of delivery is known and communicated with the morher before hand so she can be preparad, administration of medicine and explaining to the mother what to do and what not to do during pregnancy, and foe continuous checkup during the pregnancy period.

So why will your doctor recommend a Cesarean Section to you? The only reason is for the safety of mother and child and this could be due to several factors such as seeing a large fibroid growth in the Uterus, or cases where the head of baby is too big for the Pelvic making it difficult for the baby to come out (Ceohalo Pelvic Disproportion), if the baby is not lying in the right way for it to come out, or if the placenta is in the wrong position causing blockage to the baby feom coming out, and if the mother jas a pulmonary or cardiac condition that prevents her from going trough such stress.

If any of these factors are considered in women during childbirth, then a CS will be advised and because you had a CS doesn’t mean you didn’t deliver safely because actually, you did deliver safely provided you are alive and your baby is alive. So never joke with your health or that of your child. Actually, we didn’t know why the doctors asked for a CS but I am certain that the mother being overstressed is going to be one of the reasons but there is possibly going to be another reason especially why the baby wasn’t coming out from the pelvis.
