there have been cases  maternal death during cbildbirth mainly due to refusal of the woman and her huby to accept Doctors recommendation for a C-section. Child birth is natural ddesigned to be by varginal or through the C-section. In some case, the woman may recommend to the Dorctor her prefered method which the doctor may or may not concent to after his considerations. It is observed that in developed contries, women a particular methed to their doctors. There also situations where the doctor will suggest to his patient the viable and safer method due to complications, emergencies or situation at hand. in such cases, it may not really pleased the expecting mom but for her safety and that of her baby she had no option than to give her concent. for example, there are situations that a woman has tried to give birth throough the vergina but couldn't for reasons best know to her medical team and C-section was recommended which she responded Godforbid. this is not the first of its kind in Africa. the common african woman sees child birth through Cs-section as a taboo. but this is wrong. many women have lost their lives during child bearing simply because they refused to consent to a particular method recommended by her team.
but we cannot continue like this, it is high time our women understand that during childbirth what is paramount is her life and the life of her precious baby. We cannot continue to lose such precious lives because of a simple thing. I know there never be such time as when someone would run to meet a lady anywhere only to raise her clothing to observe if she is a C-section mom or mom. Never. even a mad man on the street cannot try such. it is high time our women star viewing C-section from the positive angle
unaguably it has its risks such as pains, infections, adhension, bloodcloth,e tc, it equaly has its benefits such as
Can be more convenient for a woman and reduce her stress about anticipation of labor
Possible decreased risk of incontinence
Possible decreased risk of sexual dysfunction for first three months postpartum
Reduced risk of oxygen deprivation to baby during delivery
Reduced risk of birth trauma to baby sometimes sustained from passing through birth canal, or from forceps or vacuum extraction
Women feel a greater sense of control knowing when their baby will be born, and can plan for family help, a baby nurse, furniture delivery, work leave, and so forth.
I saw a young man who was shedding tears proufusely following the death of his dear wife. a relative of the couple was describing how dear the couple are to each other. such that describe as best friends.
the cause if the death was complication from child birth, shehas been in labour for three days her doctor told her that the best available option is to undergo Cesarean which she shouted 'God forbid' after her doctoer had suggested that. I learnt that they called their Pastor who was praying with her even on phone. But at the long last, the unfortunate thing happened by the time they had given their conscent,
the common African woman sees child birth through Ceserean section as a taboo. and this particular idea has cost the life of many.


No matter what type of birth you’re planning (and hoping) for, you shouldn’t rule out the possibility of a Cesarean section. Expected or not, there is no substantial reason why child birth through C-section should be viewed from a negative angle. what should be paramount to the paries involved is the life of the mother and that of the baby. there never be a time someone would see a C-section mom walking on the road or anywhere else and the man would run to her only to raise up her clothings unpermitted to observe if she has realy had such experience before.
ACCORDING a report from Wikipedia, In some countries, C-section procedures are used more frequently than is necessary, and consequently governments and health organizations promote programs to reduce the use of C-section in favor of vaginal delivery.
Both C-section and varginal have their risks

Caesarean section is recommended when vaginal delivery might pose a risk to the mother or baby. C-sections are also carried out for personal and social reasons. Systematic reviews have found no strong evidence about the impact of caesareans for non-medical reasons


A caesarean section is an operation during which an obstetrician makes a cut through your belly and uterus (womb), to allow your baby to be born.

A caesarean is the most common type of major surgery that women have. In the UK, about one in four pregnant women has a baby by caesarean every year.
A planned (elective) caesarean is scheduled to take place before your labour begins. Just over 40 per cent of caesarean births in the UK are planned.

An emergency caesarean is unplanned, and can happen if:

A C-section is the surgical delivery of a baby that involves making incisions in the mother's abdominal wall and uterus. Generally considered safe, C-sections do have more risks than vaginal births. Plus, you can come home sooner and recover quicker after a vaginal delivery.
