Until now, I still get questions from my patients:
“Doctor, do you still work on Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays?”
And they often wonder — is there anyone doing hospital rounds or discharging patients during weekends or holidays?

Yes. Even today, Sunday, I still wake up early to do my rounds and attend to my patients. If there’s an emergency surgery, we have to arrange and be there as well.

As doctors, we work 24/7. From the very first day of housemanship, we were trained to sacrifice our weekends and public holidays, continuously working in the hospital. People can fall sick or need medical attention at any time — even during holidays.

Life as a doctor may look good from the outside, but the truth is, it’s tiring and filled with challenges. Still, behind the long hours and sleepless nights, there’s a deep sense of purpose — knowing that our work brings comfort, healing, and sometimes even saves a life.

That’s what keeps us going. ❤️‍🩹

CEPHALIC PRESENTATION (FACE DOWN)

Ideally for labor, the baby is positioned head-down, facing your back, with the chin tucked to its chest and the back of the head ready to enter the pelvis. This is called cephalic presentation. Most babies settle into this position with the 32nd and 36th week of pregnancy. Other fetal positions for birth include different types of breech (feet down) and occiput posterior position (face up).This position is that which is majorly suitable for normal va**nal delivery!

When the baby is in this position, labour is very easy and fast so long the baby is of normal size of between 2.5kg to 4kg. Of course height of the mother with previous birth history if available would determine the chance of successful va**nal delivery.

If the baby is presenting with the head also, it engages faster in the pelvis and when it's well flexed(bent towards the chest) it allows a small part of the baby's head to come out through the va**na and thus minimising injury to the baby and mother❗

When the head is well applied on the cervix, it facilitates cervical dilatation and good uterine contraction. And this helps to hastens labour. Once baby delivered, suction of the nasal and oral cavity will be carried out and face will wipe clean to prevent the risk of aspiration.

Every pregnancy, every delivery experience will be different and unique!

UTERINE FIBROIDS: A Silent Struggle Many Women . Did you know that by the age of 50, up to 70–80% of women will have developed fibroids; and that many of them won’t even know it?

Yes, fibroids are that common, thousands of women are silently battling heavy bleeding, painful periods, infertility, or pelvic pressure without ever getting a proper diagnosis.

So what are fibroids?

Fibroids (or leiomyomas) are non-cancerous growths that form in or around the uterus. Some are small and symptomless, others grow large enough to cause serious health issues.

Common signs and symptoms to watch for:

✅ Heavy or prolonged periods (you’re constantly changing pads).

✅ Bleeding between periods.

✅ Severe lower abdominal or pelvic pain.

✅ Feeling full or bloated in your lower belly.

✅ Pain during s*x.

✅ Constant urge to p*e or constipation (due to pressure).

✅ Trouble getting pregnant or repeated miscarriages.

✅ Swelling in the abdomen (some women think they’re pregnant).

✅ Remember that some don't show symptoms whilst one might be having them, so a pelvic exam or an ultrasound is very important.

Many women assume this is “normal”, but it’s not. If your periods are disrupting your life, please see a doctor.

What causes fibroids?

Doctors aren’t 100% sure, but key factors include:

✅ Hormones: especially estrogen & progesterone.

✅ Genetics: If your mum or sister had fibroids, your chances are higher.

✅ African ancestry: Black women are more likely to develop fibroids, and at a younger age.

✅ Lifestyle: Obesity, poor diet, and low vitamin D may increase risk.

✅ Global estimates: Up to 80% of women will develop fibroids by menopause.

✅ Health authorities, through their reproductive health programs acknowledge fibroids as a key issue affecting fertility and maternal health but public awareness is still too low.

Don't forget that Fibroids are treatable.
