At 40weeks i was booked for induction.
After 5 doses of 50mcg of cytotec, the cervix wasn’t opening so I opted for c/s, that was on Monday.
The doctors shift ended and a new one came.
On Tuesday morning, I saw thick meconium liqour and reported to the midwives they told me they are busy
the doctor is now using my cervix to teach students, all I endured.
On Wednesday I realised things aren’t going well, my heart was beating faster and my baby’s movement slowed, I told them one midwife said ” you are annoying do u think you are the only one in labor”
A doctor came to check me and said they will augment me , that I refused because after the 5 doses of cytotec I could rupture my uterus.
My husband and I insisted on caesarean section but they didn’t mind us….. had to call one old midwife I know to make arrangement for me
At 3pm on Wednesday I took my Anc book and left to another hospital. The doctor too said am not their client after a long talk and begging she agreed to do the c/s but we paid some amount
my baby’s breath wasn’t good instead of them to refer they left the baby there.
Baby could not make it…. I learnt my lesson the hard way!…. From Madam A. B
You cannot carry your baby for 9 months and end this way. This is highly unacceptable. Advocate for your self. Not all health workers are really bothered. Some complications come be due to negligence.
Choose your hospital and health care providers carefully. Be responsible for yourself. I always say change your facility or request for a referral if you are not receiving the care you need.
We can change this stories if we begin to speak out!
