Woman loses twin babies after she was seen trekking while in labour over inability to pay 28K delivery fee (video)

A  pregnant woman’s plight has angered Nigerians after she lost her twin babies following a gruelling labour which saw her trekking through the streets of Abuja to look for money and also get a referral letter.

A Good Samaritan saw the heavily pregnant woman trekking in Abuja and approached her, asking why she looked so tired. The kind Nigerian offered to get the pregnant woman a cab.

However,  the pregnant woman told her to give her the money instead so she can find more money and add to it to be able to pay for delivery of her twin baby girls.

The pregnant woman explained that the hospital where she was supposed to give birth asked her to bring N28,000 and a referral letter from the health centre where she had registered for antenatal. The health centre had referred her to a hospital that could better handle her situation.

The Good Samaritan swung into action and took the pregnant woman to the health centre where it was discovered that she was in active labour.

The pregnant woman began crying at this point, lamenting that she has not bought a single baby item. When asked about her husband and why he was not present, she claimed he was ill.

The Good Samaritan helped her to get some baby items and the pregnant woman went into the labour ward.

Sadly, in an update, she announced that the twins di£d.

The video has sparked outrage. It also led to a conversation about the healthcare system in Nigeria, health insurance, and about adequately preparing for child birth before conceiving.
