‘I am happy because I have given birth on a big day to people also because it is the day when Jesus was born. I did not plan to give birth on this day, but it just happened’, she joyfully acclaimed.
Another mother at the maternity ward, Suzan Moses also expressed her happiness to giving birth on Christmas day.
‘My happiness is because I have given birth on the same day when Jesus was born, of course I had planned I will have to give birth on this moment of day’, he parised.
A mid wife at Torit State Hospital, Modong Jessica, expressed her pleasure as a that she feels good saving lives of women who came to deliver in hospital during their labour time.
Jessica said her priority is to ensure she saves lives of both mother and child during labour time and confirms two women gave birth successful during the Christmas Eve
‘I really feel very proud once women are coming to deliver in the hospital and I am also saving their lives, I feel very proud. During this big season like this once they come to deliver, I really promise I can save their lives very well, I cannot go for holidays saving their lives here. There were two women and all of them gave birth safely. The sex of the children, one is female and the other is male’, she explained.
‘I wish if they can come to hospital and deliver in the hospital because delivering in the hospital is very safe, they can save their lives easily because once you deliver in at home, some mothers can develop postpartum haemorrhage and no one can be able to arrest and can lead to death’, the midwife advised.
Jessica advised pregnant women to always consider delivering in hospitals for successful birth.
