Renowned gospel musician, Ohemaa Mercy, has shared the harrowing experience she endured during childbirth, describing it as a life-threatening ordeal spanning three days.

In an interview with Adom TV, she recalled going into labour on a Tuesday and enduring a prolonged process that required significant medical interventions.

By Friday, with her child still not delivered, doctors opted for an emergency caesarean section due to the complications posing risks to both her and the baby.

Although the surgery was successful, Ohemaa Mercy said she faced further challenges when her surgical stitches were prematurely removed, resulting in the reopening of her wound.

This setback, according to her, led to another urgent surgery to save her life just a week later.

During this critical period, Ohemaa Mercy also faced the overwhelming concern of medical bills, which compounded her physical and emotional stress.

In what she described as a miraculous and timely intervention, a nurse who was a friend of her mother stepped in with alternative treatment and provided crucial support throughout her recovery.

Over the next six months, Ohemaa Mercy had to thread cautiously to prevent further complications from her wound.

She emphasised that this challenging journey tested her physical strength and deeply challenged her faith.

Today, she attributes her survival to the grace of God, expressing profound gratitude for being alive despite the daunting obstacles she faced.
