The midwife who helped to pay a mums bill sent a voice note from Obuasi.

#Story

The lady could not pay her bill but the hospital let her go home so she could come and pay little by little. She did caesarean section.

Due to her bill when she went home she never came for wound dressing. She was scared that when she comes to the hospital they will demand the money.

So when I shared that a mum wants to help someone, she called on her behalf and we paid it. She traced to the woman’s village to inform her that the bill has been paid and also check on her.

She realized the woman’s wound was getting infected since she could not come for dressing or postnatal. she wasn’t well. She sent her to the hospital immediately for the wound to be dressed. Also she will attend post natal for further care.

Yes we saved a life from complications. This could have ended differently. We thank God for the intervention!

This woman can freely walk to the hospital for care now. When she is well she can also take care of her baby.

This little things is what results in maternal deaths and complications.

The donor just saved a life using this platform and we are grateful to her. God richly bless her.

The midwife also did so well by tracing her to the village. Client had no phone and according to her even her living conditions is not encouraging. All the same we are grateful for this intervention.

The colour of your new born baby at birth should be pink

It shows that baby has enough supply of oxygen to all parts of the body

If the palm and feet are blue, it indicates a sign of cyanosis, a sign of reduced oxygen.

It’s more severe when the chest region is blue.

Call the attention of your doctor immediately

Report if your baby is blue, pale or yellow in color.

If your baby is dark in color and you cannot see the pink color, check the palm or the sole of the feet. It should not look pale or bluish.

To reduce maternal complications we have to talk about the problems we face in Africa

The uterus is the organ that carries pregnancy till birth

It is recommended that if you had a baby you wait for at least two years so it can regain its strength before the next baby especially with cesarian section.

Mothers with previous c/s who get pregnant within two years are likely to go through another planned c/s so they don’t go into labor since it can lead to a raptured uterus

Some mothers also take medications to speed up labor, when contractions is excessive it can lead to a raptured uterus. It’s important that you never take any medication to speed up your birth at home.

Women who have given birth to many children and also in short intervals also have a high risk of raptured uterus.

The risk is that the woman loses a lot of blood within a short time and can lead to fetal or maternal complications if an immediate cesarian section is not done to repair in minutes.

Speak to your midwife or doctor about your risk and how you can prevent it.

Note all these circumstances mentioned here can be managed and you will go through a successful pregnancy. Speak to your midwife or doctor now!

There are different types of Uterus

Not every one of them supports a normal pregnancy

Some are congenital abnormalities

But it does not mean mum can never have a child of her own

With science many things are possible now

Preconception care before pregnancy can help to detect whether you have a problem that has to be sorted out first before trying to get pregnant

Speak to your doctor about options available for you

The fetus is supposed to implant in the uterus where the blue arrows are pointing, but in an ectopic gestation the fetus rather implants outside the uterus. More frequently in the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube cannot accommodate a growing fetus. If not detected early it can lead to a raptured ectopic which comes with so much complications.

When you miss your period, confirm pregnancy by doing an early scan as your health provider the right time to do it.

Don’t wait for too long to start antenatal or join a pregnancy class.

At least they will be able to know if fetus is at the right place!

This can save a life

Every woman should know this!

🔴Umbilical cord prolapse is a complication that occurs prior to or during delivery of the baby. In a prolapse, the umbilical cord drops (prolapses) through the open cervix into the vagina ahead of the baby

🔴This is an emergency.

🔴If the cord is seen coming before the head of the baby and membranes are broken

🔴Blood supply to the baby can be cut off and you end up losing the baby or come with complications like severe asphyxiation

🔴If this happens at home, don’t spend a minute waiting.

🔴Move into a knee-to-chest position on the floor, with your bottom higher than your shoulders, to take the baby’s weight off your cervix. Stay in this position until the ambulance or until help arrives.

🔴Go to the hospital immediately

🔴Handling it unnecessarily can cause it to go into spasms which will cause more problems.

🔴At the hospital delivery will be done in the shortest possible time. An assisted delivery or an emergency Caesarian section will be done to save the baby.

l, well, well… Ladies when I hear women saying “after birth, that same day I was washing, cooking even going to the farm” ,I laugh 😊
Sure you are certainly asking why I laugh.

Because I get to see the other side of its effect in the hospital.

After birth your aim should not be to please society. Your main aim is to help your body heal and regain back your lost strength.

Some women go to the extend of saying “As for me I don’t like people helping me. So even if she had a caesarian section, they get home and try to do everything! To be a super woman!

Sister, why? Listen! your body needs rest. At least for the first six weeks let someone help or assist you. Its extremely important.

Women who do not get help or refuse help end up reporting with conditions like post partum depression, high Blood Pressure, explained sickness, In fact they don’t heal properly.

Nine months of carrying your baby is no joke, your body has gone through a lot. At least for the first six weeks, get help. Basically rest, walk to be mobile, breast feed your baby, limit visitors and get some rest. You can also do some passive exercise as well as eat some nutritious meals.

Let me tell you after giving birth it is not over! #Recovery is key! Some women even die due to this little things. It’s not a time to impress society or any one. You need rest and help to recover.

I remember my friend who had to flee from her mum in-laws house to her family due to the workload and the pressure placed on her. She was supposed to be super woman. Just after birth she had to be cooking for the whole family, bath baby and keep the home. Whilst every one looked on. Finally she realized how she was getting depressed, ill and uneasy. She fled to her family where she got some help and started to recover.

Finally note that not everyone is helpful! Choose the right people after birth to help you.
and don’t forget….

YOU NEED REST… DONT BE A SUPER WOMAN!

Pregnancy is a beautiful thing! most things from conception to birth has been understood but not every one of them have been fully understood.

One of the pregnancy mystery is what we call #LineaNigra.

It starts appearing when a woman conceives and disappears with time after birth.

It serves no significant purpose except telling us you are pregnant.

Many cultures have interpreted it differently.

One which I have heard is that, it can show whether you are having a boy or girl.

This has not been proven scientifically…. What have you also heard……… Share your thoughts!

#Facts

It is due to hormonal changes during pregnancy. Increased estrogen and melanin

Not all women get this during pregnancy

It doesn’t show if your baby will be healthy or not. Healthy baby depends on your health, nutrition among others

Don’t depend on it to determine the sex of your. You have equal chances of having a boy and a girl.

Enjoy your pregnancy and share as well.
