A Nigerian lady who eventually got pregnant after 15 years of looking for a child, lost her twin babies after she decided to go to church and stay 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 but lost her twins due to the decision to visit the church first right after her water broke instead of going to the hospital.
He shared that the lady had been looking for a child for the past 15 years and was blessed to be pregnant with twins.
He said:
“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, and stayed for 5 days. Then she came to the hospital and It was confirmed that both babies were dead.”
Reacting to the post, netizens say:
Uyoyoghene: “I don’t even understand people. Even Jesus gave unto Caesar what was Caesar’s. In Ecclesiastics, the Bible said there is time for everything. God is Omnipresent! Anywhere you pray He will hear. Why do people practice religion like this? This is just so so sad.”
zizelle: “How do we separate religion from common sense?”
LEXYtee_mark: “Some1 I knew been looking for a child for years, around 2010, she was pregnant and always on marathon fasting, she will break the fast with food without salt. The baby died while she was given birth, till now she never see pregnant again.”
FunmiKolz: “This is heartbreaking. I pray God comforts her and her husband.”
idong_udoewah: “The “Pastor” or whoever TF is in charge of that place should be arrested. She doesn’t have a husband? Omo, I’m just so pissed reading this right now.”
