The medics at Kinyabwamba health Centre three in Kitswamba subcounty in Kasese district have revealed that the mother and her child delivered of in the bush over the weekend, are in good health.
Social media yesterday were awash with posts showing a cloth wrapped child many viewers thought was lifeless, but kicking.
Ms Gertrude Masika Kahuju, a midwife at the health facility said whereas newly born baby and its mother were still under their care, both were in good health despite the fact that they need special care in terms of clothes and others related items. Ms Gertrude speaking……
The minor and mother to the baby said whereas she feared her harsh father who talked bitter against any un wanted pregnancies, she couldn’t stand committing two sins of fornication and abortion.
The new mother in senior one said she delivered early on Thursday last week but kept escaping both from home and school to breastfeed her baby she had hidden in the bush. The minor speaking……..
Mrs. Allen Birungi 35, the mother to the minor described the situation as strange, saying her daughter kept strong and had never shown any signs of pregnancy.
She however said that as any other parent, her husband keeps warning his children against fornication and early pregnancies, the threats her daughter could have feared. Ms Allen speaking…….
Ms Allen says her family would go an extra mile to take care of their daughter and her child as other matters are being handled. END
