When my water broke, I woke my ex up but he ignored me – Nigerian woman recalls how she trekked to the hospital under heavy rain while in labour

A Nigerian woman, Morenikeji Igwe, has recalled a traumatic experience during her pregnancy seven years ago. 

Morenikeji, who shared her story in a Facebook post on Tuesday, September 30, said she woke her ex when her water broke and informed him that she was in labour but he ignored her.

According to her, she couldn’t get a bike or cab so she trekked to the hospital under the heavy rain. 

“Ire will be 7 tomorrow and it reminded me of my traumatic experience during his labour,” she wrote. 

“My water broke and I started feeling labour pains very early that morning, I woke my ex up, told him I needed to go to the hospital and he ignored me.

“I trekked to the hospital that morning. It was raining heavily, I couldn’t get a bike or cab so I trekked for almost 2 hours under a heavy rain while I was in labour.

“When I entered the hospital with my dress soaked, I could literally see the pity in the nurses eyes. I have never felt so embarrassed in my life.

“12 hours later, I had my bouncing baby boy who I thought was going to be a girl. This one na story fr another day. My baby will be 7 tomorrow and I still can’t believe it.
