Preparation for parenthood is health education, because when we take care of ourselves, we know how to take care of others, and therefore of our own community.

K🌛wezi,

In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF, has become more and more common over the recent years. IVF is a complex process and is typically considered when there is a higher likelihood of achieving pregnancy through assisted reproduction rather than through other methods.
It is a viable and helpful way to go about reproducing a baby if one is facing difficulties trying to conceive. In this post, we are going in depth about what IVF looks like and some of the statistics attached to this procedure. Please do not hesitate to reach out should you need more information, we are only one DM away.

Hello K🌛wezi,

Miscarriages and stillbirths remain sensitive, often taboo topics worldwide. Because of this, people who have just experienced either are not getting the proper care and respect they deserve. It is crucial for parents to be able to talk about their loss and grieve while being surrounded by support.

Urinary tract infections, Vaginal infections, and Preeclampsiaare a few reasons why miscarriages and stillbirths happen.

It’s important to keep the conversation around these topics open so we are all able to stay informed and prevent such occurrences from happening. We encourage you to ask any questions, either through direct messages or on our platform, and we will be here to support you.

Sending love to all who have experienced such grief. You are not alone.

Dates, a fruit commonly found in North Africa, have made their way into our diets as well.

Did you know that oxytocin is the hormone responsible for triggering labor? Without oxytocin, there’s no labor. And when it comes to preparing for labor, there’s a fruit that contains oxytocin.

The results of consuming dates include:

- Shorter duration of labor during childbirth,
- Reduced need for induction,
- A more favorable cervical condition for admission to the delivery room (it dilates more rapidly).

I recommend starting from 36 weeks of pregnancy, consuming 4 to 6 dates per day. By doing so, you’re providing your body with oxytocin and gradually preparing for labor.

However, if you have gestational diabetes, it’s advisable to avoid dates due to their high glycemic index. In such cases, we do not recommend consuming dates.

Hello K’wezi,

How are you doing on this day? Today, March 8th, we celebrate International Women’s Day. It’s a day of collective mobilization to remind ourselves that the fight for women’s equality and the respect for their rights, bodies, and minds is ongoing.

Even in contemporary times, women’s rights are not always respected. Concerns persist, such as the potential resurgence of female ge***al mutilation (FGM) in Gambia, where a lawmaker is proposing a law to legalize the practice, which had been banned since 2015. Additionally, in Kenya, women have protested against femicides, as at least 16 women have been killed by their partners since the beginning of the year, etc…..

‌

It is crucial to be aware of organizations that protect your rights and provide information on your rights, both in terms of health and legislation. Stay informed and engaged to ensure the promotion and protection of women’s rights in all aspects of life.

In my field, which is women’s health, we, the midwives, play a crucial role in upholding your rights and respecting your bodies. In this regard, we’ve created this platform to provide you with advice so that you can understand what’s happening to you, and every decision regarding your pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding should be made by you and respected accordingly. Let’s respect everyone’s rights without judgment, without reproach, and with love for each other.

And I conclude this post by sharing with you the translation of a text by Simone de Beauvoir:

« Never forget that a political, economic, or religious crisis will suffice to cast doubt on women’s rights. These rights are never acquired. You must remain vigilant throughout your life. »

K🌛wezi,

How are you today?

Today, I’d like to talk to you about why it’s important to be able to undergo a urine dipstick test.

So, what exactly is a urine dipstick test? It’s a quick and simple way to check if certain indicators in your urine are present or not. During this test, we check for various things such as the presence of sugar, proteins, or signs of urinary tract infection. urine dipstick tests are valuable tools for monitoring the health of pregnant women, helping to detect pregnancy, screen for gestational diabetes, assess for proteinuria and UTIs, and monitor overall health during pregnancy. Regular prenatal care, including urine dipstick testing, is essential for ensuring the well-being of both the mother and the developing baby🌸

Hello, K🌛wezi,🌸

How are you today? It’s wonderful to see you all here again on this Thursday. Today, I’d like to talk to you about the importance of delayed cord clamping🌸

Why is it important, you may ask? Well, delayed cord clamping increases your baby’s blood volume and iron reserves. It’s like giving your baby an extra boost of blood after birth, helping them adjust to their new life outside the womb. We wait until the cord stops pulsating before clamping it, ensuring that your baby receives all the blood they need.

Delayed cord clamping also reduces the risk of anemia. When the cord is still in place and pulsating, your baby receives over 20% more blood at the time of birth. This additional blood can make a significant difference in your baby’s health and well-being.

So, by opting for delayed cord clamping, you’re giving your baby the best possible start in life. If you have any questions or concerns about this procedure, please don’t hesitate to ask. Your baby’s health and happiness are our top priorities.🌸.

Bonjour K🌛wezi ,

Comment allez-vous après les fêtes ? En cette nouvelle année, je vous souhaite tout ce que vous désirez. Récemment, lors d’une discussion avec l’une de mes patientes, je lui ai demandé si elle avait “bien accouché” (yavyaye neza ?). Sa réponse, “ni kuvuga ici kuvyara neza ?”, m’a amenée à réfléchir : que signifie “kuvyara neza” ? Est-ce lié à un accouchement par voie basse ? Si l’accouchement est par césarienne, est-ce que cela signifie qu’on n’a pas “bien accouché” (wavyaye neza) ? Cette prise de conscience pour moi dans la manière j’adresse mes questions.

Que cela soit par césarienne ou accouchement par voie vaginale, vous avez bien sûr “bien accouché” (wavyaye neza).

En tant que personnel soignant, il est crucial pour nous d’être conscients de cette réalité afin de ne pas heurter la sensibilité des mamans en post-partum. Ce que nous devons prioriser, avant tout, c’est votre santé et celle de votre bébé. Peu importe la méthode d’accouchement, tant que vous êtes en bonne santé et que votre petit trésor l’est également, c’est là que réside la vraie réussite de l’accouchement. Prenez bien soin de vous et de vos précieux nouveaux-nés🌸
