She said, “A lot of stillbirths are due to negligence. It’s either the doctor was not sound or the nurse didn’t do her job on time or they arrived the hospital late.
“During my first labour, my kidney failed, my heart was weak, my liver…everything was just shutting down because of childbirth. She [my daughter] had detached from the placenta. If I was a second late [to the hospital], she would have lost oxygen, and I would have had a stillbirth?
“Every time I look at her, I just say, ‘What if…?’ The what-ifs have tormented me. They tormented me so much. I will look at her, and I will just… even just remembering I’m getting so nervous. The what-ifs were so many, and they haunted me for a while. I had to get therapy to walk me through being grateful.”
