A pregnant Nigerian woman shared a harrowing account of a life-threatening experience during her first pregnancy. Initially, everything seemed normal and she anticipated a joyful pregnancy, but her world shifted dramatically one morning when she suddenly lost feeling in her legs while preparing for a bath.

Alarmed and unable to move, she cried out for help, but no one nearby could assist except for one individual who eventually carried her to the nearest hospital. However, the hospital's prognosis was grim, indicating that she could only regain feeling in her legs if they removed the baby. This devastating news led to overwhelming emotions of depression and bitterness. To compound her struggles, constipation added to her agony, necessitating a drip through her anus.

Rejected by the first hospital, she was transferred to another where a consultant offered a glimmer of hope by suggesting he could manage the situation. From that point on, she relied on a wheelchair even for basic tasks like undergoing scans, feeling embarrassed and self-conscious about drawing attention to herself.

The loss of mobility confined her to urinating and defecating in the same place, intensifying her feelings of helplessness. In a moment of desperation, she heard an inner voice urging her to stand up, and miraculously, she managed to do so, resulting in water gushing out of her. Medical intervention followed, involving the insertion of a large stool inside her, leading to excruciating pain and tears.

At a breaking point, she pleaded for the doctors to deliver the baby, expressing her exhaustion and the desire to end the prolonged hospital stay. Her extended period in the hospital earned her the nickname "President" due to the length of her stay.

Finally, after enduring fear and uncertainty, she was rushed to the operating theatre where her baby was delivered at 36 weeks. This daunting journey culminated in her powerful testimony of survival and triumph.
