16-year-old girl gives birth assisted by her 10-year-old sister

We’ve heard of women who gave birth in strange circumstances.

Examples include a woman who was headed to the farm. Halfway there, she gave birth all by herself without any support and returned home to the wondering stares of her community.

Another woman went shopping and birthed her baby in the market.

Yet another woman was reported to have given birth in the popular BRT commercial transport bus in Lagos.

The above-mentioned births are strange because the notion of giving birth properly is for the pregnant woman to do so with the help of a certified midwife or doctor.

Suffice it to say that many women who were assisted by professional medical practitioners even lost their lives in the process or gave birth to stillborn children.

How then do we explain the case of the above-mentioned births?

Do we just say they are strange or even miraculous?

How do we even begin to describe the birth of Oluwadara by Damilola Wehbe (right, in the picture above)?

Due to the circumstances of Oluwadara’s birth, do we say Damilola’s delivery is the strangest or biggest miracle of them all?

The circumstances surrounding Oluwadara’s birth are indeed “extraordinary,” which is how a medical doctor, Kayode Jaji, describes it.

While the other pregnant women mentioned above were matured women used to natal issues, Damilola was a mere 16 years old when she gave birth to Oluwadara on the cold, hard terrazzo floor of her sitting room with just the help of her little 10-year-old sister, Ajila (left, in the picture), in the wee hours of May 8^th, 2011.
