Lady Narrates How She Gave Birth The Day She Found Out She Was Pregnant

A South African Lady Narrates how she gave birth the day she found out she was pregnant.

She narrated, "I found out I was pregnant the day I gave birth. My son was named Smangaliso. My Mum and I were cleaning when I suddenly experienced what began as subtle pains. I thought I was about to begin experiencing my period but the pain increased. My Mother then called the pastor because the situation was getting out of hand. I went as far as asking my sister to play Sedilaka by the Soil because I thought I was dying. The pastor then said we should come to her house so that they will pray for me. We got to the house, and it turned into a night of prayer.

Demons were being cast out. I was crying to the point where the tears were not coming out anymore.

Then it was around 1am and I felt something wanting to exit my vagina. The pastor then told me to go to the toilet. Her words were, "We are going to deal with this demon today."

When we got to the toilet she called Khosi who is a Mid Wife. When she came in and saw the mucous sac protruding, she immediately confirmed that I was truly in labour.

Khosi asked for a razor and cut the mucous sac and asked me to push. Once she got my baby out, I’m sure I passed out in disbelief and trauma. My Mum ran out of the house when my baby started crying.

We rushed to the hospital, placenta in a plastic bag, blood everywhere and baby in towel. The nurses were surprised of course.

When we arrived at the hospital and they had given him a wash. I believe the things he had on were given by the hospital.
