Akothee has narrated one of the most horrific experience she ever had during her teenage years.
21 years ago, she gave birth to Vesha Okello, the director of Akothee Safaris but it was not an easy ride.
She recalls pushing the baby out by herself in the toilet. A nurse came in to help her push the baby using the same gloves she used while cleaning the ward but that was a non-issue then.
“love at the first sight is when my daughter landed in my hands 21 years ago as a premature baby weighing 1kg ??? funny enough, I never wanted the scissors shit and nurses passing by my shit every time they went round, I was hiding in the toilet pushing the baby alone and monitoring the head ???so pushed till the water broke and I thought I gave birth to water,?? I can’t forget the nurse who used the same red gloves for cleaning the ward! is the same she used to pull out my baby,??
By the time the nurse stepped in to help Akothee, Vesha’s head was already halfway out and she weighed 1kg, an underweight baby who needed to be put in the incubator.
maybe there was not enough time to take it out and clean her hands because she found me in the toilet with the head halfway out! scolded me like hell ‘nyako inyuol e choo be wiyi ber ‘ ??? I never admired any one’s baby who was born full term with 4kgs or 3, definitely my baby was not really looking like a human being with hair all over her body , but I loved her to death I was only but a teenager.”
Her baby girl was the second baby who was in an incubator and sadly the other one who was 2kgs did not make it and that was the beginning of drama for her.
Akothee narrated the saga.
“there were only 2 immature babies in the incubator, the other one was a boy weighing 2kgs , but he didn’t make it, so he passed on after 1 week, the mother changed the game and said it’s my child who is dead and not hers, and that the nurses have played her while she was asleep! hey every baby has a tag with the mothers name’s and sex on both the records and on the mothers arms, this family left the hospital cursing every bit, I was so afraid that my baby won’t make it too, especially with the curses ?? 4 months later I got discharged when we were weighing 1.5 kg GOD IS GOD See our miracle baby.”
This is not the only bad experience she had giving birth. A while back, Akothee narrated her sad story of losing her child who she gave birth by the roadside and the struggle she went through with baby number three.
