This study interviewed 30 traditional birth attendants (TBAs) in Ilorin, Nigeria, to understand what they know about childbirth and danger signs during labor. Most were women aged 40–49. While they could assist with deliveries, many did not recognize warning signs or used unsafe practices. The study shows the need for proper training to help TBAs spot serious problems during labor and refer women to health facilities in time.
