A Nigerian nurse has narrated an unusual encounter with an eight-month pregnant woman who came into the hospital at night with a shocking request.

The story was shared on TikTok by user @nesssa055, who revealed that the woman, despite being heavily pregnant, confessed she no longer wanted to continue with the pregnancy.

According to the nurse, the woman explained that her boyfriend, who was supposed to be the father of the child, had never supported the pregnancy, and his family also opposed it.

Faced with rejection and pressure, she sought help at the hospital.

“She came in last night, asked to speak with a nurse. Not even our patient. I took her aside and listened. Through tears, she said she no longer wanted to continue her pregnancy… eight months gone, oh boy.”

“The father wasn’t supportive he didn’t want the baby neither was his family. My heart broke. I told her we couldn’t help in that way, but I referred her to a counselor. If a man tells you he doesn’t want a baby, believe him. Mind you, the said father of the baby came with her. Nursing sometimes is just listening,” the nurse wrote.

Reacting to the situation, she added: “Took her seven months to decide. She should live with the consequence of her actions.”

The post has since sparked reactions on social media, with many Nigerians sharing their opinions on the sensitive matter in the comment section.
