A Nigerian medical doctor who identifies as @King_pearcee on the microblogging platform X has shared a heartbreaking story about how a woman who had been seeking the fruit of the womb for 15 years lost her twins.
He mentioned that the woman’s water broke before the right time of labor and she opted to go to the church instead of the hospital to pray for 5 days.
After praying for 5 days in the church, she decided to go to the hospital where both babies were confirmed dead.
His tweet read,
“A lady who finally got pregnant after waiting for 15 years She was pregnant with twin babies Then her water broke before the right time for labor Guess where this lady went to? Yes she went to the church to go and pray, stayed for 5 days Then she came to the hospital and It was confirmed that both babies were dead.”
Some netizens who came across the news felt sympathy for the woman while others advised people to learn to differentiate religion from health issues.
Below are some comments,
