My labour and delivery story || South African YouTuber

Hi guys
Watch in HD

[@mmaneo_v]

Hi Guys
In light of the special assignment documentary I watched last night on 404 focusing on issues pregnant women face during labour and delivery in our health care system
I therefore have decided to do an update addressing my experience in trying to resolve my grievances.
Thank you all for your overwhelming support and compassion

[@paulinem889]

This makes me emotional, I also gave birth at Genesis in 2017........I thank God me and my son made it, we almost didn't, thank you for sharing sis.

[@Boitumelo984]

Please share your story.

[@MihlaliN]

I’m so sorry you had to go through that friend, hopefully they come across this video and improve their service or hire better staff.

[@mmaneo_v]

Thanks chommie

[@marelisedesuza8914]

I gave birth at a public hospital and my experience was the most beautiful ever...From teaching me how to breastfeed, from helping me get up from my c-section...I’m sorry for experience ❤️

[@MihlaliN]

Quality ♥️💃🏾 welcome back sweets!

[@Tshifaro_WarriorPrincess]

Giving birth is a matter of life and death guys, am in tears listening to this story. 😢

[@dipuosungula1504]

Who here thinks that they did it on purpose that she goes for a C-Section just to get more money? People are cruel.

[@msphasha6321]

They do that. It's messed up. That's why I plan to give birth at a birthing centre when I have a child

[@lystrachitangi8385]

Exactly there plan

[@snethembasibiya7555]

You’re actually right yazi 🤔

[@thandomanaka773]

That's exactly what I was thinking while watching it

[@Valentine_Khipa.]

I think so too...baya dlisana. Not going there🤞

[@nokuthulamdlalose2440]

Sorry you had such a bad experience mommy, I had both my kids at Netcare Parklane hospital via c-section and the service has been consistently wonderful I'm so grateful.

[@sandisiwebovu1440]

I honestly had a very beautiful birthing experience at a public hospital the nurses handled me with care ..

[@katlimoagi]

I did too:)

[@annlin_the_archaeologist]

Which hospital?

[@zanelendumo9883]

you should get a lawyer and put sue them

[@lusandaoliphant5680]

I'm a midwife at a public clinic and myself and colleagues never leave a patient in active labor. Also sometimes it's really an individual who gives a whole place a bad name. So sorry your birth wasn't as comfortable as possible.

[@mmaneo_v]

Everyone left me sis 😂😂😂

[@Bukeka33]

Thank you for sharing your story I have watched this more than 3 times painful I am pregnant myself I am not going there I will ask momentum to watch this video and remove this hospital from our list

[@siphiwemncube6276]

I am also a midwife at public hospital, I can also attest that we never leave alone a woman in active phase of labour.

[@vtliphakula4731]

yoh! sorry to hear this, i am a medical student myself and my heart is just broken listening to your story especially about the anaesthesiologist and gyne refusing to give you service before payment! :( when did money gain priority over human lives??? and by the way- you can actually don't have to pay the extra 12k, you can speak to a medical lawyer and get compensation for their incompetence.... they didn't write a medical report on your birth coz they knew they were wrong, i see these things happening a lot in the hospital- most patients don't report or sue so it usually goes unpunished!

[@nosiphoxolo]

This is so upsetting, how can you be mean to someone in labor and fail to do your job🤦🏾‍♀️ thank God you and your baby made it out alive 🙏🏾

[@mmaneo_v]

Yhooo hai thank God nyani

[@BecauseSibadala]

So sorry you had to go through this trauma sis... We thank God that you and baby were okay at the end of it all...

[@LeratoMaphoto]

I'm so soory for what you went through. You should definitely sue them. You have a great supportive husband!

[@sebaganku8125]

Your story really touched me... i literally cried... you went through hell shames! ... thanks God you and baby are fine....

[@sandisiwebovu1440]

I literally cried watching this video nobody deserves this I’m so sorry ❤️

[@mmaneo_v]

❤️❤️❤️ it upsets every time I talk about it

[@liza-marie89]

2021... and I was just considering Genesis..... suddenly not so much.
Your husband should become a midwife or gynie. He is an angel. You are so lucky to have a man like that.

[@nellarasi5872]

I have birth to a stillborn 15 months ago due to a doctor's negligence, he kept procrastinating the due date even though I had made my concerns quite clear, we found out that my baby's heart had stopped two days before his delivery date. On top of that once he was born the Beacon Bay Life Hospital in East London told us that they didn't have the equipment to keep my baby's body, basically after my c-section I had 4 hours to arrange an undertaker to come fetch his body, hence your story upsets me to the core.

[@mmaneo_v]

Wow I’m so sorry this sound traumatizing, I would die to be honest and probably would have killed that doctor too. I hope you healing I’m really sorry

[@leem2473]

Yooh I'm traumatized 😭😭. Thank God that you and the baby were healthy and did not need more of their services.
I also think the c section thing was a quick buck plan... Wowwww!! I'm so maddd 😭😭. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

[@mabukemuemuelelwa929]

You’re so pretty! I love the beat and the hair....

[@yolandaishaka1233]

OMG Mmaneo sorry you had to go through that!! Totally unacceptable, I hope you follow up on your complaint and they take action against that so called midwife. So heartless

[@lindiwenompumelelohlatshwa8653]

Congrats😍😍😍!
Ngixakwa yi staff esi hanjiswa yimali to help i patient. Yiiiiiii I can't deal stru nasi.
Just glad that you're both ok!

[@Hlulani_Zama]

Damn! You're too sweet, you should do something about it. They owe you

[@babalwanodwengu5817]

I’m so sorry about what you went through sisi and Thank God you’re safe , you’re entitled to your own opinion so don’t mind these other ones , I don’t know you personally but I don’t think anyone would make up anything like this not even for subscribers 😭 it sounds traumatic and I’m glad you didn’t take down this video, just watched the follow up video and you handled everything so well . This video is doing waaaay more than what that 11k could have done for you . And that Zodwa , she’ll get what’s coming to her if she hasn’t already. I love you and all the best ❤️

[@olivia-kourtneynyamanda9478]

I was considering them as an option...BUT I was shook at "I need to go and have my tea" from the nurse. WOW!!!!! And they charge so much for their services... I am so sorry that you had this awful experience, but glad you and baby made it out of that place healthy and safely! ❤🤗

[@prettytunkies4038]

Yoh Mmaneo that was traumatic!!! Thank God that you and the baby are well, you did it. Congrats mama. 💐

[@MrsL]

I’ve heard terrible stories from Genesis. You’re lucky to have even come out with your baby. So sorry you had to go through that.

[@bongekilehlatshwayo1934]

Oh my God to think I vouched for them

[@lebomogoboya8689]

This is so upsetting!!!!!! I'm so sorry you went thru that and thank you for sharing this story, it'll help the next person. This Zodwa character will get whats hers.

[@goitseonemaswabi3663]

I think you should really look into a medical negligence lawsuit. This is absolutely horrible.

[@vh5640]

The makeup look is gorgeous. I'm still listening but just had to say that.

[@callmenancy4923]

From a good midwife. I'm so sorry for your experience. It's worse when it's a private hospital

[@VuyokaziYonke]

Sies Genesis. I felt your pain as a mom its something that I passed thru: bad service from these nurses. God is good you're alive and your baby. Bless your husband!

[@bridgettej3773]

This is so touching my husband and I I just saw your video and deeply moved and saddened by your experience. The events that occurred actually driven by greed and I’ll show the pure lack of care, lack of compassion and the lack of humanity. It is so sad that the healthcare provider was more focused on profit and motivated by greed and subjected you to agonizing pain. I hope now you’ve gotten you know some situation of healthcare so that you don’t have to come out of pocket. The shocker is that you have to pay for the OR just to use the operating facility that is ridiculous!

[@nthabisenglefothane5504]

Coming to think I wanted to consider Genesis and this is their treatment yhuuu haiii😢😢😢😢.

[@lmokaba8793]

Your story is so scary..I’m sorry that you went through such horror and thank you so much for warning us 🙏🏼

[@sosodandelion2102]

I’m so sorry for your experience and so happy on your new addition to your family 💐💐

[@mmaneo_v]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@daphnemefi]

Awww mommy I'm so sorry.
And to think that I've always wanted to give birth at Genesis😑😮😓
P.s thank the Almighty that you are both well and healthy 😘

[@lallamay2976]

I am so upset on your behalf and I hope you will take this matter on. I am so sorry you went through that. Congratulations on the birth of your nana. Love love love the green vibes look 😍

[@mmaneo_v]

❤️❤️ ur support

[@LululoNFamily]

You look gorgeous am soo sorry about the bad experience, I only have one baby girl am soo scared to have another Nkosi yam, I like your hair

[@lungilenkosi1993]

Yho this is stressful. My midwife, before the new one I requested, was also a nightmare. Told that hun to shape up or ship out. Best decision I made. But nami the contraction were not detected on the machine. Side note there is ALOT that needs to be done with nurses and midwives in maternity wards because sisi if you can't speak up for yourself some of these people will show you fire. Thank you for sharing

[@msphasha6321]

Good one

[@mbalithabane9656]

I was just thinking of switching from a hospital/gynae service to the Genesis/midwife route. Yoh thanks for sharing. I shall stick with my gynae and hospital.

[@Bontlentle]

This is a really sad story sisi....please sue them for medical negligence

[@seipatimamabolo4879]

Am giving birth at public hospital as cant afford private but...I never get that treatment.am staying in joburg by job but when am pregnant I always travel to Polokwane(botlokwa) to give birth.they always treat me fine.

[@flowm959]

I am thinking of doing this 😩

[@phindilehadebe2929]

Yoh your delivery was hectic. Remember mine. I was in labour for 2days. I had a very good doctor and she was so sweet. Didn't experience this at all. Mind you it was at a public hospital. Askies cc. Sibonga impilo nje

[@nthabelengmofokeng6938]

Which hospital

[@mongikazip]

I also had a horrible labour experience my Gynae kept on insisting that I do a c-section even though it was not necessary. Fortunately I'm also in the medical sector and she couldn't fool me by insisting that I have an induction of labour only 3 hours after the onset of labour as a primigravida (first pregnancy & labour). She wanted me to have an induction unnecessarily so that I'd have foetal distress and be forced to have a c-section. I said no to all the above as my labour was progressing quiet smoothly and I had a nice uneventful normal delivery

[@mmaneo_v]

So lucky

[@MologadiMakhafola]

I haven’t watched the video yet but wow sis, you need to teach us how to beat our faces like this. Ha! 😍

[@zinzisithole1128]

This made me emotional,I am sorry you had to go through all of this. Thank God you and your son made it.❤️🙏🏾💐

[@mzansimom_sa]

Oh my goodness, you went through the most. I gave birth at Genesis and I had such an amazing experience, most of the staff was amazing. 3 of my friends also gave birth there and they had a great experience too. I hope you laid an official complaint against that midwife, wow, unacceptable. I'm also like, you having an emergency, what if the money didn't go through?? Wow

[@mrsrex4608]

Mzansi Mom Did you use a private midwife or the ones at genesis?

[@nobuhlemthembuassertivewom6177]

I just called hospital to make appointment today 😭😭😭, I can't after this video . I'm so scared. I will go to life hospital rather

[@dimphomaponyane]

I'm so sorry you had to go through this, masibulele qha that you and your baby made it out alive. To think that I was actually thinking of ditching Femina for Genesis with my next baby👐🏽. Let me stick with my Femina yhuu.

[@gugulethungwenya]

I’m so traumatized, this was so insightful... I’m so sorry you had to go through that.... woow I’m so shook.

[@nkquzasigoxo2522]

I dont like what im hearing right now but thanks God u made it dear....i like you...u too gorgeous

[@elsietumisa5796]

Congrats dear and sorry for the trauma you went through after paying so much money... shooo wow

[@kedibonesegole9832]

Thank you so much for the honest video. Yho this was so informative and helpful. Thank God everything worked out. God will continue to bless u.

[@smdekazi4009]

I'm so sorry for your experience! I feel like I might have been there at the same time you were. I was there 2019. I had a decent experience. I was assisted by a midwife called Sarah then later by Zodwa. If it's the same midwife she definitely has government hospital vibes. She ruined my birthing experience. From that moment I made a vow to have enough money for my own midwife. The staff midwives generally give off the vibe ba they are just pushing time till it's knock off time. Apart from Zodwa my experience was great there. I think the treatment of cash clients might be somewhat different? Maybe because if you can fork out 30k-50k just to birth there in a private suite with a garden there must be more money in the bank...Overall it's a damn shame how they take advantage.

[@unathimboyana9285]

wow im so sorry for all that you went through and I thank GOD for your life after all that you expienced

[@nomzamomsimanga287]

Oh no. This sounds horrible! I’m so sorry you went through this. Glad you and baby are ok ❤️

[@lesegotau9183]

I am so sorry you had to go through that, shuuuuu I am glad you and the baby survived that horrible ordeal. It is thoroughly disappointing to hear such about Genesis, they were one of the facilities I was considering to give birth at but after your testimony....i think i need to continue searching.

[@zoeda9350]

My friend went thru the exact same thing at genesis and she gave me a number for a good midwife who works there but is basically self employed so she sun contracts -I dealt with her and her alone I got my natural birth I wanted .we even ended up doing a spontaneous water north .i didn’t deal with anyone else but her .

[@kholofelosiima2590]

I’m really saddened about this😔. I don’t need to know you to sympathize with you. I’m really sorry you had to go thru that. I literally shed a tear when you were explaining what happened. You’d think such things only happen in govt institutions. I’m glad the baby came out fine and is still fine. God is good🙌🏾

[@thulisilekapane7324]

I am so so sorry you went through that and its Genesis to make matters worse you are paying loads of cash, I am beyond shocked .

[@PreciousLebotse]

This is heartbreaking.No apology/refund can take the traumatic experience away,I hope you've gotten counseling or some sort of help to process this because it sounds like it was too hectic.
I gave birth at Genesis a few months ago and it was beautiful,it left me feeling empowered as a first time mom.Im disappointed that you got treated this way by them.sorry mama,glad you and baby are physically fine.

[@nontokozonkosi9979]

Hi Precious, did you use private midwife or in-house midwife ?

[@PreciousLebotse]

@Nontokozo Nkosi Hi Nontokozo!A private midwife but my doula was one of their in-house nurses.

[@nokukhanyankolongwane1588]

This is so heartbreaking 💔
I’m so traumatized😱
So glad you’re doing well and your baby is fine.

What kind of establishment is that? Thanks for naming them sisi, you have probably saved lives. Sorry you went through that.

[@Chelsea1987ism]

Hi Mmaneo, so sorry you felt that kind of crappy service at Genesis. 😞 I have given birth twice at Genesis and have never experienced anything like that. The recent time was this year in June 2019. The nurses were super helpful and I could sleep at night with husband on the side while they took care of our son. I guess this is another side of Genesis I never knew.

[@mmaneo_v]

I was shocked and I’m not the only one

[@tabitanomancwabeneti4174]

I’m so sorry you had to go through that, I’d be traumatized for life. I think such experiences are the reason I’m an elective c section type of mom. We should really start appreciating medi clinic/netcare/life nurses more
