SHE CURS3D HER MIDWIFE 😳
That day started like any other at the scan clinic…
Until she walked in.
Restless.
Pacing.
Breathing fast.
“Please, calm down” I said gently.
Before I could say anything else
She burst into tears.
“Please, why are you crying?”
“My midwife said I will deliver through C/S”
Hmm.
“Okay, relax. What exactly did she say?”
“She said the baby is not staying well after she checked me. She asked me to come for a scan.”
At that moment, I already knew
This wasn’t a conclusion.
This was a second opinion request.
“Let’s check the baby’s position,” I told her.
I placed the probe
Then I saw it clearly.
Cephalic presentation.
Longitudinal lie.
Perfect.
Baby was well positioned.
Before I could even explain
She exploded.
“Na G0d go punish that midwife!” That woman no sabi anything.
I paused.
“Are you sure you understood your midwife?” I asked calmly.
“Because if she asked for a scan, it means she wanted to be sure.”
She hesitated.
Then said,
“She said if the baby keeps staying like that, I may need to consider C/S”
I looked at her.
“Do you realize that what you just said now is completely different from what you said earlier?”
Silence.
“Anty nurse but the scan is showing the baby is fine now”
“Yes,” I replied.
“But do you know the baby could have moved between the time you left her office and now?”
She blinked.
Processing.
“Your midwife wasn’t wrong,” I continued.
“She was preparing you for possibilities not giving you a final verdict.”
“But why mention C/S?” she asked.
“Because sometimes, if the baby remains in an unfavorable position, it becomes the safest option.”
She shook her head.
“I rebuke every spirit of C/S around me!”
I smiled.
“C/S is not a spirit,” I said calmly.
“It is a life-saving procedure. I’m a C/S mum myself.”
Her expression changed instantly.
“Anty nurse, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
“Take your report,” I told her.
“And go back to your midwife.”
“Next time, if you don’t understand, ask questions.”
Because one misunderstanding.
Can create fear where there should be trust.
Dear mums and mums-to-be,
Your midwife should be your best friend in your pregnancy journey.
The story is fiction but the part where I said i am a C/S mum is true.
Most women pray against C/S as if it is a plague.
It is life saving. When it is the safest option, please
Consider it.
