What A Pregnant Woman’s Resolve To Give Birth Naturally ‘Like the Hebrew Women’ And Because ‘CS Is Not Allowed In Her Family’ Cost Her
A pregnant Nigerian woman got more than she bargained for after following her pastor’s instruction. Due to childbirth complications, the woman was advised to undergo a caesarean operation, but she refused.
She however gave two reasons for her decision. One was the fact that Caesarean Section (CS) is not allowed in her family. Speaking on her second reason, she revealed how her pastor promised her that she would deliver her child like ‘Hebrew women’.
Sadly, her decision made her lose both her baby, her very first child and her womb for life.
Doctor Penking who shared the sad story on Twitter urged Nigerians to stop demonizing CS because it’s a life-saving procedure and doesn’t make a woman less of a woman.

“She had an obstructed labour. The Doctor on call decided on CS. She said that her pastor told her that she’ll deliver “like the Hebrew women” and besides they don’t use to do CS in her family. She asked to be taken to church. She was later rushed back to the hospital
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.”
