“It went as planned. There was actually no aberration from the normal. Of course, being a first-timer, she was a bit anxious in the beginning but generally, she was calm all the way through,” he told Joy News.
Lt Col. Agyare-Gyan further disclosed that both the mother and baby are fine after the procedure.
“Baby is actually very well, came out breathing, kicking and screaming so he doesn’t need anything special,” he noted.
