A pregnant woman reportedly died after refusing hospital admission due to concerns about caring for her children at home.
According to a Facebook user named Ugegbe Oyibo, the woman, who had low blood pressure, ignored medical advice and chose to prioritize her children over her own health.
Despite the doctor’s recommendation to contact her husband for assistance, she insisted on going home and returning the next day.
Tragically, she passed away peacefully in her sleep overnight.
In her words;
“Yesterday I checked the BP of a pregnant woman and is 80/44 she has low BP I notified the doctor and she was told to be admitted because we can’t let her go in that state, she refused and said her kids are alone and no one to take care of them.
“I asked of her husband she said he will be busy, busy doing what ma?
Call him and tell him the recent development because we can’t allow you step out of the hospital like this. She kept saying her kids this and her kids that She later said she will come back later, I gave her letter of consent incase.
“I still called 8:pm she picked when i introduced myself she said she will manage and come later that her husband is yet to be back. I called past 10pm she didn’t pick. This morning I heard the worst news She’s late.. She slept and didn’t wake up.
“Something that can be managed and she is aware. Money isn’t an issue because she’s an HMO patient. Her only problem are her kids. Those kids will survive without her. I feel so sad.”
