A Nigerian woman who eventually got pregnant after 15 years of being childless loses her twin babies following the decision to go to church for days right after her water broke.
A doctor via the microblogging platform X, @King_pearcee shared the experience of a woman who had struggled for 15 years to have a child.
Eventually, she got pregnant and everything went fine from the baby’s first trimester until the last but unfortunately had an early labor.
Instead of visiting the hospital, she reportedly went directly to the church where she stayed for 5 days straight and was eventually rushed to the hospital where the babies were declared dead.
“A lady who finally got pregnant after waiting for 15 years. She was pregnant with twin babies. Then her water broke before the right time for labor.
“Guess where this lady went to? Yes she went to the church to go and pray, stayed for 5 days. Then she came to the hospital and It was confirmed that both babies were dead,” the doctor wrote.
