Tragic events occur when a pregnant woman dies after a week-long labor because her husband will not take her to the hospital.
A Facebook user named Jane Àríké Francis shared the incident and disclosed that the deceased was his neighbor.
He said that the woman had been in labor for a long time and that her husband had refused to take her to the hospital because she had been giving birth to all of her other children at home.
The baby had tragically died by the time she was brought to the hospital and operated on.
The woman was reported to have died a week later.
“I just lost a neighbor this afternoon, and I feel really traumatized about it because this was such an avoidable death.
This woman had been in labor for a week. She gave birth to her first and second children at home, but for this one, the midwife said she needed to be operated on, seeing that she couldn’t deliver on her own. However, her husband refused and said, “This isn’t her first time giving birth on her own.” So, he left her at home.
On Wednesday, when she couldn’t bear the pain any longer, they finally took her to the hospital for the C-section, which was successful, but unfortunately, the child was already dead. Today, she passed away too,” the post read.
