A Nigerian woman has emotionally narrated how she temporarily lost her eyesight while pregnant and eventually lost her baby due to what she describes as hospital negligence.
The story was shared on TikTok by the woman identified as @mrs.temishe, who detailed the traumatic experience during her third pregnancy.
She explained that her condition could have been managed if medical professionals had acted quickly, blaming the delay on negligence and lack of proper facilities.
According to her, the ordeal began with severe migraines and facial discomfort, which gradually worsened.
"I was pregnant with my third child and was admitted for very high blood sugar. I started experiencing intense migraine on the right side of my head and eye. They referred me to an eye hospital. Eventually, I lost my sense of smell and couldn't perceive anything," she recounted.
She described being scheduled for surgery and was shocked by what she saw in the operating room.
"I entered the theatre and the first thing I saw was a generator. That was when I knew things were really bad," she said.
After the surgery, she was discharged, but complications followed. She began bleeding at home and was rushed back to the hospital where she had initially conceived.
There, she received devastating news-her baby no longer had a heartbeat.
She also mentioned that the condition that led to her temporary blindness was hormone-related and could happen to any pregnant woman if left unchecked.
As the video circulated online, many Nigerians took to the comment section to express sympathy and frustration over the poor state of healthcare in the country.
