Dear Doctors and Midwives in Lagos, Please, kindly stop sending patients in active labour for pregnancy scans 🙏🤲 Except in true emergencies, it is not appropriate. I am a sonographer, not a midwife. I am not trained to conduct deliveries, and the scan room is not a labour ward. So why send a woman in active labour just to determine gestational age? Especially when she already had a scan just during the month ? Recently, a pregnant woman almost delivered right on the scan table. She came in alone, shouting, panting, and in obvious distress. It was a frightening situation that could have gone very wrong 💔 Just yesterday, I attended to two different women in active labour sent for pregnancy scans. This needs to stop. Let’s prioritize patient safety and proper clinical judgment. Women in active labour should be in the labour ward, not moving around for non-essential scans. If you’re a healthcare professional, please take note. And if you know one, kindly share this message 🙏

My Bro/Sis, you see that thing you’ve been waiting on God for and almost thinking it would never happen, eh? very soon, much sooner than you think, It will happen. And you will come back to this particular tweet, to say “IT HAS HAPPENED.” IN JESUS’ NAME. You are blessed !
