My name is Nadya. I am 20 years old, and I came here from Deh-Sabz district. I came to Ahmad Shah Baba hospital because my uncle's wife came here for delivery; they told me that the doctors are very helpful, they don’t opt quickly for surgery. But I had no other option than a C-section.

[Dr Najia Waziry] She was primi gravida—this was her first baby. The baby had a problem identified before by ultrasound—the baby had mild hydrocephalus.

She was 4cm, with no progress for about ten 10 hours. So she was a candidate for a C-section based on the diagnosis of: term pregnancy, first stage of labour plus failure to progress. When we checked, the baby also had a small spina bifida in her back.

Antenatal care is very important for all mothers who are pregnant. If they have good antenatal care they would discover this problem before delivery. Ahmad Shah Baba has a good antenatal care department. I want all of the women who have a pregnancy to come to Ahmad Shah Baba hospital and have good antenatal care here.

I want to name my baby Muhammad and hope he will be fine and healthy again.
