Chinonso Onuoha Describes Alleged Mistreatment During Childbirth

Chinonso Onuoha, a Nigerian mother of two, has recounted what she says was mistreatment by her former husband while she was giving birth. In a Facebook post on Friday, September 25, 2026, she alleged that he had cautioned her against getting an epidural. She wrote that when the doctor told her she had dilated enough for the pain relief, she turned it down because of his earlier warning. According to Onuoha, her ex-husband became angry as she screamed and cried from severe pain. She also alleged that he warned her he would not take care of her if she needed a cesarean section. Onuoha further claimed that when she told him in Igbo that she was exhausted, he became even more upset and said that if others heard her say that, they would perform a C-section. After she delivered her baby, she said, she asked him for a hug and he said no.
