SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED, BUT HER HUSBAND SAID NO......
When Amaka went into labor with her second baby, she was so excited and hopeful she would deliver her baby safety just like she did in her first child.
She had labored at home for hours before her one of her neighbour who noticed she was in distrëss rushed her to the hospital.
At the hospital, the doctors quickly noticed something was wrøng.
The baby was in distress already, and Amara’s bløød pressure had went too high.
The only way to save her and the baby was an emergency c-section.
“We need your husband’s consent,” the nurse said to Amaka"
The hospital called him. He arrived 40 minutes later, sweating and he was so afraid😳. But when they handed him the consent form, he got frozen😲.
His 3 three major fears were:
1. We don’t have money for surgery. Can’t she just push the baby herself?
2. I have heard stories that women díe during CS. I don’t want to løse my wife.
3. Our church doesn’t believe in cs . We believe in divine intervention.”
Despite several hours of pleading him to do the needful by the medical team,even Amaka's family and other patients in the ward begged her husband to sign the consent form but he refused 😳
He kept asking them to give him some time. Time… that Amaka didn’t have as her case is already an emërgency.
After about 5 hours of delay, Amaka went quiet and cold.
Her breathing sløwed instantly. The baby’s heartbeat had already disappeared from the fetal Doppler( monitor)
The doctor rushed her to the theatre to performed the surgery without his consent under the doctrine of necessity. But by the time they got into the theatre, it was already too late.
The baby was gøne. Amaka was gøne too 😭.
