What women need to know about Caeserean operation


I came about a group of expectant mothers and the discussion I had with them made me realise the kind of shame women who gave birth through cesarean section go through from their family members, husbands and even fellow expectant mothers who I suppose should still have little knowledge about why some mothers might have to go through it. During the conversation I learnt the “Hebrew Woman” phrase, who is regarded as a strong woman in order words women who give birth through Caesarean Section are considered weak, some even say it like it’s a sin that in their denominations they don’t believe in it as it wasn’t practiced during the olden days but what they fail to realise is the during this period that always make reference to the rate of maternal and foetal mortality was alarming compared to now, our doctors now have been blessed with adequate knowledge and the came up with Caesarean Section as a way out.
