Placenta Praevia

A condition where placenta ( the after birth ) comes to lie before the fetal presenting part in the lower uterine segment ( usually it’s the head in a cephaloc lie , but placenta Praevia can predispose to non - cephalic presentations too )

Less than 2 cm from the internal cervical os

Sometimes , partially or completely covering the internal cervical os , when it is termed as Complete Placenta Praevia

Which is really a dangerous condition !!

Why because…

As the cervix dilates during labour , the placenta over lying the internal os gets separated before the expulsion of the baby
and starts to bleed 🩸
Often , it can lead to life threatening haemorrhage and hypovolaemic shock .

Call for action :::

Since this condition needs early diagnosis …

* Never miss any antenatal appointments
* A minimum of 3 Ultrasound scans to localise the Placenta /
as advised by your consultant Obstetrician
* Always Know your Blood group & type / keep your recommended antenatal profile handy

* Do not neglect any bleeding during pregnancy

* Plan your delvery around 35-36 weeks
In a well equipped tertiary center where experienced medical professionals , 24/7 blood bank and ICU services are available .

* Avoid unwanted pregnancies .
* Use appropriate , effective method of contraceptive .
* Encourage blood donation

This is how it looks on an Ultrasound
Stay informed
Stay safe

I think all of us need to migrate to South Korea 😃

In South Korea, the government offers strong support to pregnant women to ease financial and practical burdens. Through the National Happiness Card, they receive about $850 USD for prenatal care, covering checkups, ultrasounds, and other medical needs. In Seoul, expectant mothers also get transportation subsidies of around $600 USD to help with travel to hospitals and clinics. These measures aim to support healthier pregnancies while also addressing the country’s low fertility rate.

Non invasive treatment for Ca Breast using Ultrasound waves currently under research
Lets hope that this becomes a reality soon 🤞

Ultrasound and Microbubbles: A New Hope Against Cancer 🎯🦠

Researchers at Tel Aviv University, led by Dr. Tali Ilovitsh, have pioneered a promising cancer treatment that combines ultrasound with microbubbles. These gas-filled bubbles, coated with tumor-targeting agents, are injected into the bloodstream and directed toward cancer cells.

When exposed to low-frequency ultrasound (around 250 kHz), the microbubbles rapidly expand and collapse, a process called cavitation, which destroyed up to 80% of tumor cells in mice. For surviving cells, the ultrasound opened temporary pores, enabling delivery of genetic material that activated the immune system to attack the rest.

Still in preclinical stages, this technique has not yet reached human trials, but it offers a minimally invasive, highly targeted approach with enormous future potential.

If your provider denied your request for a VBAC, did they suggest another provider for transfer, or just tell you to schedule a C-section with them?

Don’t be tempted to pour or store cleaning products in different containers. This can confuse adults and children too. Especially if it’s in container they recognise, like a water bottle.

“Even in the darkest hours, women are not victims. They are survivors. They are heroes.”

Annalena Baerbock, President of the UN General Assembly, speaking at a special event marking 30 years since the Beijing Declaration on women’s rights.

Reflecting on the stark reality that there is still no country in the world where women’s rights are fully equal to men, she stressed:

“Women’s rights are always human rights. They are our rights – our future.”

6 weeks is never just enough for the complete recovery from a pregnancy
Some mothers might take few months
Some need few years
And some might never be back to their pre pregnancy self
So please be gentle and kind to mothers who are healing from the physical and mental overhaul in the name of pregnancy and child birth
We need time to heal
🌼🌸🌼

Women are given 6 weeks to recover from pregnancy and get back to work.

This goes against basic science.

And the expectation doesn’t align with the reality of postpartum recovery.

As maternity physiotherapist Johanna Kjelseth explains, healing after pregnancy involves much more than losing baby weight. Recovery is highly individual and impacted by numerous physical and hormonal changes, including the healing of muscles, joints, and tissues; shifts in hormone levels; and the gradual return of pelvic floor function.

And for most women, this process can take a year or more — not just a matter of weeks.

While the uterus and vaginal swelling may reduce within the first six weeks, muscles like the abdominals and pelvic floor continue to recover long after. Hormones such as relaxin, which cause looseness in joints, remain elevated for months and can lead to instability or pain.

The brain also changes significantly during pregnancy. In fact, it literally shrinks in size, and it takes over a year to return to its pre-pregnancy functioning.

Add to this the mental adjustment to motherhood, sleep deprivation, and constant care demands, and it becomes clear why the “six-week rule” falls short.

Rather than rushing recovery, experts encourage new mothers to prioritize gradual movement, proper support, and mental wellbeing—and most importantly, compassion toward themselves.

Equal pay is a fundamental right

Equal pay may be a fundamental right, but for millions of women, that right is still out of reach.

Women earn on average 20% less than men worldwide — and the gap is even wider for women of color, migrant women, and women with disabilities.

This means mothers struggling to feed their families. Workers left without income security. Women’s potential cut short — and our shared future held back.

On , UN Women stands with women workers everywhere.

Together, we demand what should never have been in question: equal pay for work of equal value .
