On Thursday morning residents of Okpoko of Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State were woken up by a shocking news of a woman (name withheld) who had just dumped her newborn baby inside the toilet. People didn't realize she was pregnant because she had a protruded stomach which actually disguised her pregnancy. It was gathered that she did that in other to save her the agony of nursing a baby, which, she said, could disturb her business. It was reported that it was when her brother-in-law woke up in the morning and tried to use the toilet that he discovered he couldn't flush and that something was blocking the water closet , so he decided to put his hand inside the toilet only to remove a placenta of a baby which totally surprised him and he had to scream which attracted other members of the household who later investigated and retrieved the body of a day old baby from the toilet . After a general meeting of the whole family, traces of blood was discovered on the woman cloth , she was later accused but she denied all allegations it was until she was taken to a maternity hospital where it was confirmed that she had just given birth to a baby. She is presently in a police custody

People should not be too quick to judge this lady…. ....she may be suffering from a mental illness such as postpartum depression. ….most carriers are not even aware.
The fact that there is no adequate medical care in Nigeria ...hummm can make things dangerous…
Postpartum Depression: By Mayo Clinic
The birth of a baby can trigger a jumble of powerful emotions, from excitement and joy to fear and anxiety. But it can also result in something you might not expect — depression.
Many new moms experience the "baby blues" after childbirth, which commonly include mood swings and crying spells that fade quickly. But some new moms experience a more severe, long-lasting form of depression known as postpartum depression. Rarely, an extreme form of postpartum depression known as postpartum psychosis develops after childbirth.
Postpartum depression isn't a character flaw or a weakness. Sometimes it's simply a complication of giving birth. If you have postpartum depression, prompt treatment can help you manage your symptoms — and enjoy your baby. Symptoms: Signs and symptoms of depression after childbirth vary, depending on the type of depression.
Baby blues symptoms: Signs and symptoms of the baby blues — which last only a few days to a week or two — may include: • Mood swings • Anxiety • Sadness • Irritability • Crying • Decreased concentration • Trouble sleeping
Postpartum depression symptoms: Postpartum depression may appear to be the baby blues at first — but the signs and symptoms are more intense and longer lasting, eventually interfering with your ability to care for your baby and handle other daily tasks. Postpartum depression symptoms may include: • Loss of appetite • Insomnia • Intense irritability and anger • Overwhelming fatigue • Loss of interest in sex • Lack of joy in life • Feelings of shame, guilt or inadequacy • Severe mood swings • Difficulty bonding with your baby • Withdrawal from family and friends • Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby Untreated, postpartum depression may last for many months or longer.
