This is a bigger pain for the family of the departed.

Sardonic mmmmmmmmjjjj

May God bless all the good mothers out there.
And may her gentle soul rest in peace.

For people whey no too sabi English

Quintuplets means 5

Rip to her , poor medical attention killed her

May her soul rest in perfect peace and give the kids and family to bear the loss...

May her soul rest in peace, Amen

Ha I hope the hospital did not put her through the stress of vaginal delivery when CS should have been a safer option.

May her soul find rest.

Nawaoh God help us o. We want Mother, Father and Children alive.

Poor woman.


May her soul RIP, childbirth isn't easy.



The day my wife was in labour I couldn't sleep that night, I was just rolling in bed until I got a call from my sister that she delivered safely. The kinda relief I felt eh!

The man wey fvck am nko? E no get who give am belle? Make the man who pour akamu inside her toto know how e go take take care of the kids

This is so so sad. The man needs serious help to take care these kids RN 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Future members of Kwankwasiya.

May Allaah accept her return. What a good and sad news

It's well. What a mixed feelings in the family!

I PRAY BANDITRY WILL NOT BE THEIR PORTION.

Well, post partum hemmorhage is a common cause of death in women pregant with multiple babies. Even when everything has been done.

The thing about the uterus..or womb, is that to prevent bleeding, you got to have some 'tone' in the uterus. A pregnancy in mutliples 'stretches out the uterus' and causes something called atony, which can lead to severe bleeding and death.

And it ain't easy treating postpartum hemmorhage. It can mean spending hours on the operating table..far longer than one thinks dem go spend.

This was not medical negligence most likely. EVERYTHING was done, and it didn't end well this time.

You guys should stop blaming every death in hospital on 'negligence'. Sometimes, one does everthing by the book, and it doesn't work out.

Death should have allowed her stay and take proper care of her children.

Nigerian APC government will promise and fail, but only parents can take proper care of their children

The sad reality of what women go through during delivery.

Respect women!

God bless all mothers.
Putting your life at risk to give life is not easy.

So so sad, joy met with pain.

Hey yahhh. Life is not balance. May her soul rest in peace.

Women still dying during labour
High labor mortality rate in 2026
APC is working for sure

Yeah, APC dey work well, but let's be honest, the problems with healthcare are going to take a long time to fix.

Right now, Nigeria needs to drastically increase the number of doctors, and other medical staff, facilities and so forth

all these cost a lot of money and will take years to fix

And yeah, APC is evil and partly responsible for the mess

Control bleeding or urgent blood transfusion

Was this a vaginal delivery or a caesarean section?. It is important to know this because it would be reckless and unprofessional to subject the patient to the rigors of a vaginal birth in these circumstances. Secondly, how can a properly conducted ultrasound examination miss two additional babies?. Nigeria happened to this woman and her family.
