Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

Seun, thank you for sharing and giving me permission to repost 🤎🤗

09/10/2023

October is a significant month for many, as it marks Baby Loss Awareness Month, a time to remember and support those who have experienced the heart-wrenching loss of a baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or shortly after birth. This observance serves as a poignant reminder of the emotional and physical challenges faced by countless individuals and families worldwide.

The importance of Baby Loss Awareness Month lies not only in acknowledging the profound grief experienced by parents and families but also in breaking the silence and stigma that often surround the topic of baby loss. By openly discussing these painful experiences and providing avenues for support, society can help individuals and families cope with their grief and find solace in knowing they are not alone.

Ultimately, Baby Loss Awareness Month serves as a crucial reminder of the compassion and empathy that should be extended to those who have suffered the loss of a baby. It encourages open conversations, fosters understanding, and advocates for better healthcare practices and support systems to help those affected navigate their grief journey with greater resilience and hope.

Induction of labour (IOL) is an intervention used to artificially stimulate uterine contractions prior to the natural onset of labour. Because it’s impossible to have a vaginal delivery without uterine contractions.

An IOL is recommended if there is a maternal or fetal concern and/or if you are postdates.

Allow me to reintroduce myself...

Empowering and supporting soon-to-be parents to have a positive birthing experience is my passion and purpose.

Hey there! I'm Tolu, a dedicated midwife committed to guiding and supporting expectant moms and dads on their incredible journey to parenthood.

One of my key missions is to combat the alarming rates of maternal and neonatal mortality in Africa. It's a cause close to my heart, and I'm determined to make a difference.

With 15 years of experience as a midwife, I firmly believe in the strength and wisdom of women during this transformative time.

Through my posts, I'll be sharing evidence-based information, invaluable tips, and gentle reminders to help you embrace the beauty of pregnancy and prepare for the birthing experience you truly deserve. From prenatal care to postpartum recovery, I'll be with you every step of the way.

But let's not forget about the incredible men who are also embarking on this journey with you. That's why I've created a phenomenal YouTube series called "Dads Unplugged," where real dads share their remarkable journey into fatherhood, providing valuable insights and heartwarming stories you won't want to miss.

Get ready to laugh, learn, maybe shed a tear, and connect with a community of parents who understand the beautiful chaos of raising little ones.

Don't wait! Click the link in our bio to dive into our YouTube series "Dads Unplugged." We release a new episode every Monday at 5pm WAT.

Welcome to my nurturing space where we celebrate the miracle of life, embrace the power of birth, and continue our tireless pursuit of solutions to ensure no woman dies giving birth in Africa.

Join me on this incredible journey as we strive for change, empower midwives, and improve maternal healthcare. Together, we can build a stronger Africa.
