10 Things That Nearly K!led Pregnant Women — But Nobody Talks About It 😳💔🤰🏽
Too many women d!ed during pregnancy or childbirth because what they felt was ignored or help came too late.
These are the silent k!lers you MUST know 👇
1️⃣ “I was swelling, but they said it was normal.”
Swollen feet, face, or hands with headache or blurry vision could be preeclampsia — and it can k!l easily.
2️⃣ “I thought it was toilet infection.”
Many UTIs in pregnancy are silent. Left untreated, they can tr!gger early labour or kidney failure.
3️⃣ “I was bleeding small, so I didn’t panic.”
Any bleeding in pregnancy must be checked immediately — it might be placenta previa or abruption.
4️⃣ “I wanted to push, but they told me to close my legs.”
Delaying a woman who’s fully in labour can cause stillbirth or fetal distress.
5️⃣ “I didn’t go for antenatal because I felt fine.”
Too many women feel “normal” until it’s too late. Antenatal checks save lives silently.
6️⃣ “They gave me herbs to help the baby come out.”
Many local mixtures overstimulate the womb — leading to ruptured uterus and d£ath.
7️⃣ “I waited for my husband to come back before going to the hospital.”
Delay k!ls. Labour doesn’t wait for permission.
8️⃣ “They kept me at home to ‘monitor’ the pain.”
By the time they rushed her to the hospital, it was already too late.
9️⃣ “I thought the baby was just quiet.”
Reduced fetal movement is not peace — it can be a sign your baby is in dang£r!
🔟 “I was too ashamed to ask questions.”
Shame has k!led too many women. Speak. Ask. Cry out. Your life matters.
💡 Dear pregnant woman, don’t d!e in silence. Speak up. Ask questions. Run to the hospital if something feels wrong.
We’re not losing more mothers. Not on my watch. I care. Always.
