She lost her baby. She lost her womb. But her life was saved.
A follower shared a story that left me speechless.
She was in the labour ward with another woman when suddenly, the nurse began shouting:
“Obstructed labour! Madam please don’t push!”
They quickly wheeled the woman into the theatre for an emergency C-section.
Despite being in the hospital and under professional care, the situation escalated.
She lost her baby due to severe bleeding (something related to a prolapse).
Hours later, the bleeding still wouldn’t stop. The doctors had no choice but to ask her husband to sign for a hysterectomy, her womb had to be removed to save her life.
She had a C-section.
She lost her baby.
She lost her womb.
But she survived.
This is the reality many don’t talk about. Even in a hospital, labour can turn complicated without warning.
What she experienced is called obstructed labour, when the baby can’t come out naturally despite strong contractions.
If not handled immediately, it can lead to:
• Uterine rupture
• Excessive bleeding
• Fetal loss
• And sometimes, removal of the womb to save the mother
This is why timely monitoring, skilled care, and emergency readiness are not optional in maternity care.
To every woman reading this:
✅ Go for regular antenatal care.
✅ Choose a facility equipped for emergencies.
✅ Speak up if you feel anything is off.
✅ And always remember: safe delivery is not automatic. It’s God’s grace plus proper care.
Let this post remind us that childbirth is powerful, but also unpredictable.
May no woman go through this kind of pain again.
It is well.
