Good day mamas and papas in the house, please I need advice from you all. I know loads of you would judge me and it is allowed because nothing you say can be up to what my husband has said to me and what his people has called me and I am not even going to justify my actions. I just had my first baby about 2 weeks ago. He came out really tiny, he weighed 2.2kg, he looked like a lizard, I was scared, I didn’t know why my baby would be so tiny. My husband was not happy that our baby was tiny, we did the naming 7 days later and everybody that came for the naming kept looking and shaking their heads, very few people had the guts to ask why the baby was looking the way he did. My doctor told us not to take the baby home but my husband wanted to show his first son to the world, so we promised to bring the baby back immediately after the naming ceremony. We spent a lot of money on the naming ceremony, everybody ate and merried. In the middle of the night my baby wasn’t breathing well, we rushed him to the hospital and the doctor examined him, after about 10 minutes, the doctor confirmed to us that we brought in my son dead. I didn’t understand what she meant by that, II started to scream that evil people touched my baby during the naming but she explained to me that she warned us to leave the baby in the hospital for proper care that my child had low birth weight which was why he was tiny and that with proper care he might have lived. She asked me if I took alcohol in pregnancy and I told her no that I know that alcohol is bad. I have been thinking since then what could have caused my child to have low birth weight, I drank a lot of palm wine during pregnancy, because my mother told me it was okay but what I don’t understand now is could Pal wine have harmed my baby? I feel too ashamed to go back to the doctor to ask if palm wine is bad for pregnant women. Please house, kindly teach me more on this. Also, my husband’s family are accusing me of killing my child, they said my family people touched and killed him, please how do I handle them, they are making life hell for me. My baby died 5 days ago and my inlaws won’t even let me mourn in peace. Please I want to know more about this low birth weight disease, kindly help me out please.
