CAUSES OF BLINDNESS AFTER CHILDBIRTH OR DURING PREGNANCY

I posted a video that spiked so many questions on “why does a woman go blind after childbirth “ so here’s why👇🏽

Blindness after childbirth is not common, but when it happens, it’s usually due to serious medical complications during or after pregnancy. The main causes include:

1. Severe High Blood Pressure (Pre-eclampsia/Eclampsia)

This is the most common cause.
• Very high blood pressure can affect the brain and eyes
• Can cause blurred vision, temporary blindness, or even permanent damage
• Sometimes linked to brain swelling or stroke

2. Postpartum Hemorrhage (Severe Bleeding)
• Heavy blood loss can reduce oxygen supply to vital organs, including the brain
• This can lead to vision loss or brain injury

3. Stroke
• Pregnancy and childbirth increase the risk of stroke slightly
• A stroke affecting the visual part of the brain can cause sudden blindness

4. Retinal Problems
• The retina (back of the eye) can be damaged due to:
• High blood pressure
• Fluid buildup
• Can cause temporary or permanent vision loss

5. Infections (e.g., meningitis, severe sepsis)
• Severe infections after delivery can affect the brain and nerves
• This may lead to loss of vision

6. Pituitary Gland Damage (Sheehan’s Syndrome)
• Happens after massive bleeding during childbirth
• Can affect hormones and, in rare cases, vision

⚠️ Warning signs to never ignore after childbirth:
• Sudden blurred or double vision
• Severe headache
• Seizures
• Loss of consciousness
• Swelling of face/hands with high BP

Bottom line:

Most cases of postpartum blindness are preventable if complications are detected early. Proper antenatal care, monitoring blood pressure, and delivering in a healthcare facility are key.

BLEACHING YOUR SKIN CAN CAUSE KIDNEY DÍSEASE🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

Skin bleaching isn’t just a “skin issue”some of the chemicals used can enter the bloodstream and affect internal organs, especially the kidneys.

Here’s how it can lead to kidney failure:

1. Mercury toxicity (the biggest culprit)

Many unregulated bleaching creams (common in some markets) contain mercury.
• Mercury gets absorbed through the skin over time
• It builds up in the body, especially in the kidneys
• The kidneys try to filter it out, but mercury is toxic to kidney cells
• This causes:
• Protein leakage in urine (proteinuria)
• Kidney inflammation
• Gradual damage → chronic kidney disease → kidney failure

👉 In severe cases, it can lead to nephrotic syndrome

2. Steroid overuse (topical corticosteroids)

Some bleaching creams contain strong steroids like clobetasol.
• Long-term use → absorbed into bloodstream
• Can cause:
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Both conditions are major risk factors for kidney damage

3. Hydroquinone (misuse and high doses)

Hydroquinone itself is less directly toxic to kidneys, but:
• Prolonged misuse can cause systemic absorption
• May contribute to oxidative stress and organ strain when abused
• Often combined with mercury or steroids in unsafe products

4. Chronic toxin buildup

When these substances are used daily:
• The body is constantly exposed to toxins
• Kidneys become overworked trying to detoxify
• Over time → reduced kidney function

Bottom line:

Skin bleaching can lead to kidney failure mainly because toxic substances (especially mercury) are absorbed through the skin and gradually destroy kidney cells.

There is a silent outbreak of kidney dïseases 🎤

This is a dialysis center...
At first you would think all this awareness is for fun,till Dialysis becomes your only solution..
Take care of your Kidneys today..
That's the only solution...

Drink enough water
Exercise daily
Stop smoking
Stop taking concoctions
Stop excess alcoholism
Stop bleaching your skin 🙂‍↔️

OBEY INSTRUCTIONS WHILE IN LABOR TO AVOID TEAR

MY dear pregnant women I understand that labor is paínfuland most times most times you can’t control how you behave but please obey to instructions

When your doctor or midwife say “PUSH” please push!
When they say “OPEN YOUR LEG” please do!
When they say” RELAX” please also do

You know why?

1. Controlled pushing prevents “rush damage”
When the baby’s head is crowning, your midwife may tell you to slow down or stop pushing. It can feel frustrating, but that pause allows the skin to stretch gradually instead of tearing suddenly.

2. Proper breathing reduces pressure
Guided breathing (instead of forceful, uncontrolled pushing) helps you push effectively without putting too much pressure on one spot.

3. Correct positioning opens the pelvis better
Your midwife may adjust your position—side-lying, squatting, or semi-sitting. These positions can reduce strain on the perineum and allow smoother delivery.

4. Hands-on support
Midwives often support the baby’s head and your perineum during delivery. If you follow their cues, they can guide the baby out slowly and safely.

5. Timing is everything
Pushing at the right time (not too early, not too forcefully) helps your body work with contractions instead of against them.

Real talk:
Most tears happen when delivery is too fast or uncontrolled. Your midwife’s instructions are basically a “slow and steady wins the race” strategy to protect your body.

What stage is your pregnancy 🤰 dear

4 EMERGENCY SIGNS YOU SHOULD NOT IGNORE AS A PREGNANT WOMAN 🎤 🎤🎤🎤

1. Frequent Headache
A persistent or severe headache during pregnancy is not something to ignore, especially if it doesn’t go away with rest or simple medication. It can be a warning sign of high blood pressure or preeclampsia, a serious condition that can affect both mother and baby. If the headache is accompanied by blurred vision, swelling of the face or hands, or dizziness, seek medical care immediately.

2. No Baby Movement
Your baby’s movements are a key sign of their well-being. If you notice a significant reduction or complete absence of movement, it could indicate that the baby is in distress. Don’t wait try to stimulate movement by eating or lying on your side, but if there’s still no response within a short time, go to the hospital urgently for assessment.

3. 41 Weeks Pregnant with No Sign of Labor
Going beyond 41 weeks (post-term pregnancy) increases risks such as reduced placenta function, low amniotic fluid, and fetal distress. At this stage, close monitoring or medical intervention like induction of labor may be necessary. It’s important not to “wait it out” at home see your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and guidance.

4. Water Breakage (Rupture of Membranes)
When your water breaks, it means the protective sac around the baby has opened. If this happens, especially before labor starts, there is a risk of infection for both mother and baby. The fluid is usually clear, but if it appears greenish or foul-smelling, it’s even more urgent. You should go to the hospital immediately, even if contractions haven’t started yet.

*43 WEEKS AND PREGNANT?

Being 43 weeks pregnant (what we call post-term pregnancy) isn’t very common, and at that point doctors usually recommend delivery because staying pregnant that long can come with some real risks—for both the baby and the mother.

Here’s what can happen:

For the baby 👶
• Placenta may stop working well
After 42 weeks, the placenta can start “aging,” meaning it may not supply enough oxygen and nutrients. This can stress the baby.
• Low amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios)
Fluid levels can drop, which can affect the baby’s movements and increase the risk of cord compression.
• Meconium aspiration
The baby may pass stool (meconium) in the womb and inhale it, which can cause breathing problems after birth.
• Big baby (macrosomia)
The baby may grow too large, making vaginal delivery harder and increasing risk of injury during birth.
• Stillbirth (rare but increased risk)
The risk is still low overall, but it does increase after 42 weeks

For the mother 🤰
• Difficult labor
A larger baby can make labor longer and more complicated.
• Tears or birth injuries
Increased chance of perineal tears due to baby size.
• Higher chance of C-section
Especially if labor doesn’t progress or baby is too big.
• Infections or heavy bleeding
Slightly higher risk after prolonged pregnancy.

What doctors usually do

At 43 weeks, most healthcare providers will:
• Recommend inducing labor immediately (if not already done)
• Monitor the baby closely (heartbeat, movements, fluid levels)
