dilated

WHY DOES YOUR MIDWIFE TELL YOU TO HOLD ON WITH PUSHING EVEN WITH STRONG AND PAINFUL CONTRACTIONS

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

Bladder

A FULL BLADDER DURING LABOR

bladder

Do you realize that once you are in the active phase of labor, your doctor or midwife will continue to encourage you to empty your bladder.

A cather will be used to drain the urine if bladder is full but the woman is unable to pass the urine

This is because, full bladder may prevent the head of the baby from descending into the pelvis. Contractions may not be so efficient.

After the birth of your baby a full bladder may also prevent the uterus from contracting well and can lead to bleeding.

Cooperate with your doctor or midwife for the best outcome of your pregnancy! 024 228 1957

“I THOUGHT IT WAS BELLY FAT” – BORN TO LIVE!

Please my name is Angela, and I have a child, which is about 11 months old, but recently my tummy grew a little big, and I thought it was belly fat, so I didn’t pay attention to it.

But just this Tuesday, I was experiencing, some abdominal pains, like labor, and yes it was labor, my husband helped me in the house to deliver, because I didn’t know, I was pregnant, and didn’t go to ante-natal, so I delivered in the house ,and the baby is fine, but small.

My 11- month- old baby was breastfeeding, while this baby came, and I didn’t have any signs of pregnancy like, vomiting and so on, all of a sudden just this Tuesday I delivered, pls want u to help me.

Sally… Well I didn’t believe it. Thought it was one of those scammers. I decided to meet them at the hospital and it was so true.

I have heard in foreign news how people never knew they were pregnant but went into labor and delivered.

Wow, as I interviewed her she said she felt so well, never got sick only realized her abdomen was growing a little big.

Her question to me was :How is this possible?

Fact: For some women’s fertility can resume six weeks after birth. Also know that ovulation occurs before your menses.

So whilst you are thinking your menses hasn’t resumed so you can’t get pregnant, you can have surprises if you are very fertile.

I recommend taking a form of family planning at six weeks if you want to space your children. Lactational amenorrhea does not work for everyone!!!

She was breastfeeding! She practiced exclusive breastfeeding but she got pregnant! It doesn’t work for everyone! If you have no experience and are not sure how your body works, just take a form of family planning till your menses resume and make an informed decision.

Baby is being seen at the hospital! We wish her speedy recovery!

Midwife who saw her was shocked and exclaimed : “This baby was born to Live. Surviving without antenatal, Nicu care and all that”
