Thank God it's Friday!

After childbirth, every new mother needs support but who would YOU choose to help you at home?

Why that person?

Share your experiences with us, a pregnant woman or new mother could learn from it.

One push can change everything, no one warned me that childbirth could leave me with a tear.

Perineal tears are more common than many women think, yet so many mothers suffer in silence after delivery.

WHAT IS A PERINEAL TEAR?
A perineal tear is a tear or injury inside the va**na or other parts of the v***a, such as the l***a (the inner and outer lips of the va**na).

The perineal area stretches a lot during delivery, and sometimes the skin or muscles can tear as the baby comes out.

Some tears are small and heal quickly. Others are deeper and need stitches and close monitoring.

Perineal tears are grouped into 4 degrees:
- First-degree tear
Small tear affecting only the skin.
- Second-degree tear
Affects the skin and muscle beneath.
- Third-degree tear
Extends to the muscles around the a**s.
- Fourth-degree tear
The deepest tear, extending into the re**um.

Some women heal quickly. Others may need surgery, pain management, and long-term follow-up.
This is why postpartum care is SO important.

Have you ever experienced this?

'Nobody told me this could happen after childbirth'.

This afternoon, a new mother came to the labour ward with an opened perineal tear and it reminded me how many women suffer in silence after delivery because they simply don’t know what is normal and what is dangerous.

So for the next 14 days, I’ll be educating every woman, mother, partner, and pregnant mama about perineal tears.
We will talk about;
- What they are
-Why they happen
- How to care for them
-Warning signs you should never ignore
-And how to heal properly after childbirth.

Childbirth doesn’t end after delivery, postpartum healing matters too.

Join me every day for this important conversation.
Tag a pregnant woman, new mother, or birth partner who needs this education.

We welcomed our second baby!

I've been holding this close to my heart, and I'm finally ready to share it with you all our second baby is here, and we are so incredibly grateful.

But this journey was not without its fears. Early in the pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hemorrhage; a blood clot that forms between the chorion ( the second sack housing the baby) and the uterine wall.

For weeks, I lived with uncertainty, worry, and a lot of prayers. It was one of the scariest things I've been through as a mother.

I'm sharing this because I know some of you may have walked a similar road, or may one day face it and I want you to know you're not alone.

The fear is real, but so is hope. And our little one is proof of that.

I'll be sharing a full video soon with everything the tears, the scares, and the beautiful moments in between. Stay tuned.

Thank you for being a community I feel safe enough to be real with. Your love means everything to our growing family.

After losing my page unexpectedly, I’m starting again with gratitude, strength, and a deeper appreciation for every single person here.

Welcome back to our safe space.

I came across the information I am about to share on 18th December 2025, in the morning. The report itself was released on 16th December 2025 at 10:15 PM. I have taken time to reflect on it, review it carefully, and consider how best to share it responsibly.

Disclaimer:
This post is shared strictly for educational and awareness purposes. It is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Individual responses to health interventions vary, and health decisions should always be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.

Family planning methods work differently in the body especially hormonal options. Responses can vary based on factors such as genetics, medical history, and duration of use.

This is why awareness, regular follow-up, and open conversations with qualified health professionals are essential.
This information is particularly relevant if:
- You do not intend to get pregnant at this time
- You are using or considering a long-term contraceptive method
- You are experiencing persistent or unusual symptoms

In such cases, please seek medical advice and discuss options that best suit your body and health needs.

I am sharing the link to the report below to encourage you to read, understand, and ask informed questions not to create fear, but to promote knowledge, safety, and informed choice.

Your health matters.
Informed women make empowered decisions.

Are you currently using a family planning method, or considering one?
There are things every woman deserves to know, things that help you listen better to your body and know when to ask questions.

My role as a midwife is simple:
to educate, to support, and to help women make decisions from a place of knowledge and confidence.

In my next post, I’ll be sharing an important information related to a family planning method.
Please stay with me. This conversation matters.

How is your week going?

26/01/2026

Have you ever read something, heard something or learned something important and you would like to share,
but paused because you weren’t sure how people would receive it?

As a health professional, I often sit with information that could help women make better choices but I also think deeply about how and when to share it.

Reproductive health is personal.
Contraceptive choices are personal.
And the way information is shared truly matters.

Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing something I’ve been reflecting on for a while purely for education, awareness, and informed decision-making.
No fear.
No pressure.
Just facts, context, and care.
Let’s keep learning together.

Have a blessed week Fam!

An Open Note to Policymakers

As a midwife and public health educator, I support every effort aimed at reducing HIV in our country. However, proposals suggesting mandatory HIV testing for employment or engagement raise serious public health and human rights concerns.

HIV testing is most effective when it is voluntary, confidential, and supported with counselling. Making it compulsory risks increasing stigma, discrimination, and fear driving people away from testing and treatment rather than toward it.

It is important to emphasize that HIV status does not determine a person’s ability to work. With treatment, people living with HIV can live healthy, productive lives and pose no risk to colleagues in everyday workplace settings.

Evidence from global and local public health practice shows that progress against HIV comes from:

💕Education and awareness
💕Access to testing and treatment
💕Protection against discrimination
💕Respect for dignity and privacy

I urge policymakers to engage health professionals, public health experts, and affected communities when shaping policies on HIV. Laws and policies should protect people, not punish them, and should strengthen trust in our health system rather than weaken it.

Ending HIV requires science, compassion, and inclusion not coercion.

What do you also think?💭

Respectfully,
A concerned midwife and public health advocate.
