Now after reading these stories, I had mixed feelings. I felt sad for many women out there who are were in dire need of a child, then I was also angry at the many things they subjected themselves to in their journey to become a mother. But the truth is, you will never know where the shoe pinches until you wear it yourself.

The Punch newspaper tells the stories of these women who contracted HIV while desperately seeking to have children and the societal pressure that pushed them into the hands of quacks. The harrowing ordeal some of these women go through include sleeping with spiritualists, drinking concotions, incisions on their bodies. A doctor even tells of how a dead rat was found inside her patient during a pelvic examination.

Mrs. Fola Jegede and her husband tried to get pregnant but it wasn't forthcoming. She then began to seek doctors and herbalists out for help.
