After your first pregnancy or miscarriage you need to check your rhesus factor. If you are negative and baby is positive you need anti D or Rhogam . This prevents your subsequent pregnancies from complications and possible miscarriages due to incompatibility. Always make sure you check at the hospital if its your first pregnancy or first abortion. Its also needed after a miscarriage if you are rhesus negative.
Let me add that if both father and mother are rhesus negative there is no need for the anti D. Its important for both partners to know their rhesus factor
Speak to your doctor or midwife About your Rhesus factor

Basically remember the more you breastfeed the more breast milk is produced. Thats the secret. So let baby continue sucking the breast even if you think nothing is coming.
The more you breastfeed, the more breastmilk is produced!

This is one of the most difficult conditions that occur during pregnancy.
Its believed to be caused by increasing level of human Chorionic Gonadotropic Hormone. (HCG)
It is characterised by severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. You may vomit more than four times a day, become dehydrated, feel constantly dizzy and lightheaded and lose weight
The woman vomits every food and water she takes
She may not even be able to stand smell of food
This situation can be really difficult.
It is different from morning sickness as the woman can use little things like food, mint etc to control morning sickness. She may even be able to eat later in the day. It also stops by 12 weeks
This condition is not supposed to be managed at at home as it can lead to serious complications
The woman will need fluid replacement therapy with intravenous infusions, some medications to reduce the vomiting and if there is an underlying condition it will be treated.
It may reduce by 16 to 20 weeks but some unfortunately will have to manage the condition till delivery.
There is treatment and it can be managed. Don’t stay home if you have been vomiting for several times in a day and nothing stay down there
Have you ever experienced this? How were you managed?

This is because the cervix which is the opening of the uterus has to open from 0 to 10 cm. At 10 cm the midwife must confirm the cervix is fully dilated. If it is not fully dilated pushing through it will cause cervical tear which may lead to bleeding and other complications.
Let your doctor or midwife confirm dilation first before you start bearing down or pushing
In few cases the mum does not have control baby comes out rapidly.
In all work with your doctor or midwife for the best results
