A tragic incident has drawn widespread attention after a Nigerian woman reportedly suffered a mental and medical crisis just hours after delivering her baby. The heart-wrenching account was shared by the woman’s sister in an emotional TikTok video.
According to the sister, their mother informed her at around 9 a.m. that the woman had gone into labor. By 2 p.m., she had given birth and returned home safely, looking well and even receiving visitors.
But the joyful mood didn’t last long.
Around 5 p.m., the new mother went to take a bath and was later found unresponsive on the bathroom floor, naked and convulsing. Her sister described the terrifying scene: the woman was biting her tongue, her body shaking violently—clear signs of a seizure.
“She regained consciousness for a moment and asked what had happened,” the sister recalled. “Then she started convulsing again.”
The video has since gone viral, sparking a wave of emotional reactions and shared stories from women who’ve experienced similar postpartum challenges.
