Based on the results of data analysis and the discussions, it could be concluded that: (i) 75% (150) of the women of child bearing ages surveyed do not cook food for their husband because they always fall ill and are sickly during pregnancy; they do not like to do anything in the matrimonial home, they do not eat and they sleep a lot; (ii) 73.5% (147) dodge medical care; as waiting to be attended to in the maternity wards are considered to be waste of time; (iii) 70% (140) WOCBA attend traditional birth homes to save their pregnancy and themselves from taboos, witches and wizards powers. It was recommended that: (i) pregnant women’s husbands should be lectured to love their wives and assist them to cook, desist from quarrelling with them and also support them at home and make peace with their wives. (ii) Orthodox maternities within Oke Onigbins should be adequately staffed with sociably qualified doctors and nurses to treat native women with dignity.
