This is very scary. I was induced at Kathleens mother and baby clinic.
Not only that but i had severe Hyperemesis Gravidarum and the one midwife working there told me to just take a walk and ill feel better. Also told me im so ill because my body isnt accepting the pregnancy. I went to a private doctor who told me my son was measuring small and i was severely dehydrated and my ketones were very high. All was ignored at Kathleens. I still gave birth there as i did not have medical aid and was desperate to avoid the government hospital during COVID.
Its scary to know that this could have been my babies fate.
This is so sad because there are INCREDIBLE birthing centres and women dedicating their lives to this profession. How do women have such a lack of care for other women and their children
Im not sure why someone would choose a home birth. Thee amount of complication that can occur before, during and after birth can fill up a book…. its such a bad idea im not sure why any health practitioner ciuld even suggest it.
So sad 😢
Births whether natural or C section are risky, but why go to a birthing centre if they is no Doctor on stand by like in Hospitals ? Why leave things to chance. I delivered in a hospital and when the baby was getting distressed, a Doctor was called immediately! Been in a facility with a Doctor in the immediate vacinity is always safer
me and my wife also used Kathleens services worst decision ever!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
South Africa becoming such a scary country
I gave birth at Kathleen and got the best service there, beter than any hospital.
I keep seeing this every where, more often. The thing is, what if there's an emergency? C-secttion, whatever. A mid-wife can not help you. My baby died at birth 6 months ago, due to this reason. I'm pregnant again, thank Jesus Christ. I wish I could warn every pregnant women against mid-wives. Our government hospitals are excellent at maternity. I dispies midwifes
SANC is useless. How are these murderes out there, killing more innocent babies.
Take ur chances in the hospital it's far better equipped to help the thise homes that are money driven.
People don’t do research before embarking upon life risking tasks?😮 honestly I’d rather go to a government facility because their birthing units are safer.
Service providers are so cruel gambling with a human soul bcs of money
Why is she not in jail? I’m no specialist but there’s gross negligence here
This was painful to watch 😢😢😢😢
Strength and love to the mothers❤
But even a private hospital dr did the same to me do they can take me to c section
It's important to note that any induction drugs are for speeding up labour. They even tell them what medicine they were giving them😢😢
Breaks my heart into pieces !
In my opinion the parents should be held accountable. They don’t have the funds to give birth in the hospital, they use the excuse that the mid wife is better than hospital. But common sense will get you far in life. Obviously the mid wife doesn’t have the knowledge or equipment compared to the hospital.
How do they come into possession of induction meds in the first place?
The lack of oversight is beyond infuriating and despicable!
With Kethleen it's all about money, she always pushed for "did you pay?". We lost our R15k over nothing. She did not call for an ambulance but told my husband and I to drive to Joburg Gen after administering these pills with my water having broken for hours.
This is all so evil ☹️ I can’t believe there are businesses that operate like thia
Why isn't she arrested? These regulatory bodies in different fields are useless. Who remember that lawyer cases of medical claims? SANC is just as corrupt as other bodies. There's bribes everywhere, especially these regulatory bodies. We need to vote for change my fellow South Africans.
As a parent, I struggled to watch this.
So much incompetence and greed in the birth process.
Its extremely saddening. 😢
Be strong ladies, your little angels are up there with the big man, safe☝️Always remember, u may not get the justice you deserve(failed justice system) but what goes around, comes around😊Those money hungry monsters will pay one way or the other, oneday💪
