THE MULTIPAROUS WOMAN- WHY DOCTORS/MIDWIVES ENCOURAGE PLANNING YOUR FAMILY SIZE

Yes we all agree children are gifts from God and we love to have them.

But come to think of it it. What’s the point having many children and not being in a position to take care of these children or give them a better life

Whats the point of not limiting the number of children you can have and getting complications that may even cost your life at the expense of the other children that will be left behind

Lets go straight to the point. The #womb which carries your baby can be compared to the balloon. The more it’s inflated the more weaker it gets with time.

What this means is that especially after 3 or 4 children your risk of having uterine rapture or bleeding increases. This is because your uterine muscles has been over stretched and its ability to contract diminishes.

It’s important that after you have the required number of children at a point you need to take precautions so you don’t get pregnant again just to avoid complications or save your life.

In case you have more than three children and pregnant again. Please don’t take chances. Work closely with your doctor or midwife

Seek individualised care and report early if you have any complications
