As a healthcare provider whose work is more based on child bearing cases, I get to see many drama often if not daily.
In my few years of practice, I have seen a woman who was indicated for c/section or Operation as it more commonly called but she had to take permission from the pastor. The pastor started praying and refused the surgery, it was as if the surgery was a death sentence or a curse. At the end of the day, the woman died of Eclampsia as that was the main indication for the surgery. There are many other examples but this one is just fresh in my memory.

Ceaserian section commonly known as operation in Nigeria is surgical intervention used to save the life of either the mother, baby or both. It can be either emergency or planned. About 85% of C/section are emergency.
It last about 25-60minutes depending on the number of fetus and the experience of the the surgeon.
There are many indication for this surgery, E.g Eclampsia, Multiple pregnancy, cephalopelvic disproportion, breech presentation, transverse lie, face presentation, placenta previa etc..
Although it is not without risk, but the advantages outweighs the risks.

True talk. NIGERIANS need to loosen up. Expectant moms and their friends and family should Save lives before you worry about looking like Hebrew women.

C/section is indicated when vaginal Delivery has failed or will put the life of the mother or child at risk.
Contrary to the believe of many, it is a life saving intervention.
Nigerian pastors need to understand this fact and not prevent their members from undergoing the procedure.

I blame the husband of the woman not her pastor

You know the husband and the woman are under the same pastor. They have been made gullible by the pastor. Same way the Jehovah witnesses don't take blood transfusion even if it means death.
