Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Fella Makafui has shared a harrowing yet unforgettable memory from the birth of her daughter, revealing that she remained fully conscious during the entire Caesarean section procedure.
In an interview with Pulse Ghana, Fella recounted how doctors opted for surgery after discovering that her baby couldn’t position properly in the womb, making vaginal delivery unsafe.
Recounting the moment, she said, “I was actually awake throughout the process, I was seeing myself because of the CS. I had 2 doctors, one on my left and one on my right. I could just feel myself moving, like they are forcing something to come out, but I wasn’t feeling any pain. The doctors kept asking if I was okay.”

She described an especially jarring moment during the operation. “The funny part was, I turned myself to watch the other nurse on my left side, that’s when I saw this mirror and I saw my stomach, then I panicked because it was so scary and traumatising. I didn’t know that’s what was going on so it was scary and I think a few minute later, I heard the baby’s cry. I remember that I was just crying especially when they brought Island. My partner then was asked to be inside but I think he was scared so he was outside, and they just rushed the baby to him. It was a very good experience.”
Beyond the delivery, Fella Makafui said her entire pregnancy was difficult and painful, marked by health challenges that took a toll on her physically and emotionally.
“The first 3 months were hell for me, I was literally sick. I lost weight because I had zero appetite. I could cough and cough blood, it was that bad. Along the line, I had to do CS because Island couldn’t turn well. I didn’t want to do CS, I wanted to deliver a normal birth, but I had no choice,” the YOLO actress revealed.
