Mum 2… My delivery was prolonged. By the time baby came out baby was blue and didn’t cry.That’s how it started

Mum 3… The baby was big and they kept pulling for a long time before baby came

One of the sad things that can occur after 9 months of pregnancy is for your baby to get an injury during the birth process.

Unfortunately birth injuries are common and occur due to different reasons. It can be in a mild form to permanent disability

Some forms include.. Bruising or forceps marks. …

Caput succedaneum

Cephalohematoma

Facial paralysis

Fractures

Subconjunctival hemorrhage.

Erbs Palsy

Cerebral palsy

Some common causes

Prolonged birth

Big baby

Pre maturity

Baby not well positioned

Sometimes skill gaps

It’s important to have a skilled birth during delivery.

Also plan your birth

Work together with your doctor and midwife and also listen to their recommendations.

Report early if you realize something is not going well with your baby.

Majority are reversible if treatment is commenced on time.

The water/ liquor around the baby can cause a cooling effect on the baby and can cause hypothermia or low temperature.

This is not good for the baby, so when baby is born we clean the water or liquor on the baby’s skin immediately to help regulate the baby’s temperature

Cleaning the baby immediately after birth can also stimulate the baby to start breathing on its own

This can be done whilst baby is on the mums abdomen

Skin to skin contact helps to regulate the temperature of the baby and breastfeeding is also initiated.

This will also promote bonding for mum and baby as well.

MIDWIFE SALLY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.

My birth story

my pregnancy was a bit smooth during the first trimester but with the second I became very ill and was admitted at the hospital. I was diagnosed with typhoid and infection.

Later I became okay and was discharged.
In my third trimester I was very strong .
To make my long story short, during my 39weeks I went to the hospital and the doctor told me if I exceed 41 weeks I will have to be induced because exceeding the said weeks may lead to lot of complications.

I was a bit afraid because, a friend of mine told me induction is painful and if it doesn’t work, cs will be the only option . hmm I prayed to god to let labor come naturally but 40 weeks came no show, 41 weeks 2 days no show. I prayed and told God his will should be done.
I went to the hospital on the 41 weeks 2 days for the induction the doctor checked and I was 4 cm already dilated with no contraction. He induced me. Hmmm the pain was unbelievable

it was really painful but it worked. I gave birth on the same-day three hours later after I was induced baby came with cord tired to the neck this was the reason labor was delaying. A word of advice to all pregnant women on this platform please listen to your doctors and midwives.

They are professionals and they will always want the best for their client. Never leave your pregnancy to chances.
I thank god for my life and that of my baby.
Congratulations to moi
midwife sally take your two
