The 4 most common pregnancy emergencies that send Nigerian women to the ER — and the exact protocols to handle them BEFORE you reach the hospital
A pregnant woman in Lagos woke up with severe abdominal pain.
Her husband panicked. They rushed to the hospital.
Lagos traffic at 3 AM.
Dark roads.
Potholes.
Fear.
By the time they arrived, she had lost too much blood.
The doctors tried.
But it was too late.
She died at 4:13 AM.
Her baby died with her.
That woman didn't die from a rare disease.
She didn't die from a hospital error.
She didn't die because God wanted her.
She died because nobody taught her what to do when a pregnancy emergency struck.
And now, her children will never know their mother.
Her husband is raising babies alone.
Her mother is burying her daughter.
All because of 15 minutes of knowledge she didn't have.
Let me tell you what nobody else will:
Traditional antenatal care is designed for NORMAL pregnancies.
They check your blood pressure.
They measure your belly.
They listen to your baby's heartbeat.
They send you home.
But what happens when it's 11 PM and you're bleeding?
What happens when it's Sunday and you're having contractions at 28 weeks?
What happens when your baby stops moving and the hospital is 45 minutes away?
You're on your own.
And "rush to the hospital" is NOT a plan.
In my 17 years as a Medical Doctor, I've seen these 4 emergencies kill more women than anything else:
The sudden gush of blood that makes you think you're losing your baby. Most women panic, faint, or delay too long before acting.
Contractions that start too early. Most women don't recognize them until it's too late to stop delivery.
When your baby goes quiet. Most women wait "to see if baby wakes up." By the time they get to the hospital, the baby is gone.
The headache that won't stop. The swelling that appeared overnight. The vision changes you're ignoring. This kills within hours.
All 4 of these emergencies are SURVIVABLE.
IF you know which symptoms mean "go NOW" vs "monitor and call."
IF you know the exact steps to take while help is coming.
But Nigerian hospitals don't teach you this.
Your antenatal classes don't cover this.
Your family's "advice" is based on outdated information.
And Google is a graveyard of conflicting, dangerous misinformation.
Your 24/7 Emergency Protocol for Surviving the 4 Most Common Pregnancy Crises
This is NOT a "what to do if something goes wrong" pamphlet.
This is a medical-grade emergency response system that gives you:
How to tell if what you're experiencing is "normal pregnancy discomfort" or "get to the hospital NOW"
Exactly what to do, step-by-step, from the moment symptoms start until you reach medical help
How to keep yourself and baby safe while waiting for the ambulance or fighting Lagos traffic
What to tell the doctors, what tests to demand, what questions to ask so they take you seriously
How to avoid unnecessary panic and expensive ER visits for symptoms that aren't emergencies
What to tell your husband, your mother, your sister so THEY know what to do when you can't think straight
Pre-written messages to send your doctor that get you seen IMMEDIATELY
Emergencies don't happen during clinic appointments.
They happen at 2 AM when you're home alone.
They happen on Sundays when hospitals are understaffed.
They happen in traffic when you're 40 minutes from help.
They happen in villages where the nearest hospital is 2 hours away.
And in those moments, the only thing between you and tragedy is KNOWLEDGE.
Do you know what to do?
Does your husband know what to do?
Does your mother know what to do?
Or will everyone just panic, cry, and pray while precious minutes tick away?
These women had the knowledge when emergencies struck
"My baby was breech, my PCV was low, and I needed to control fetal weight. I used all the protocols and resources, and put in the work. My doctor and the whole hospital were impressed by my recovery rate. Baby came out 3.4kg and I didn't need blood transfusion. BirthSafe is heaven sent."
"I got to the hospital at 5:39 PM, in less than 5 minutes I had my baby — almost gave birth in the car! Shout out to Dr. Idara, you don't even have an idea what God is using you to do. My full gist: don't joke with those NIL protocols! Especially nip stim and curb walk!"
"Within 4 hours I was already 6cm dilated. Just 2 hours 30 minutes later, I had reached 10cm. My labor progressed so fast thanks to Dr. Idara for all the teachings! The comb and breathing techniques really helped me through labor."
"I was admitted and the doctor said 'You need to give birth today.' But somehow we pushed through from 27 weeks to 38 weeks. So much was suspected — early placental abruption, early preterm contractions. But in the end, God saw me through. There was no abruption, no complication — just joy."
"The process to access healthcare in Canada is long and tiresome. I miss how accessible it is to see my doctor in Nigeria. I bless the day I came across BirthSafe. Thank you Dr. Idara, I no longer feel alone as a preggy mama abroad."
