Did you know that excessive bleeding after childbirth (postpartum haemorrhage) can lead to inability to produce adequate breast milk for your baby (lactation failure)?

Here is how...

There is a small gland in the brain called the pituitary gland. It produces a number of hormones which includes PROLACTIN, the pro-lactation hormone. When there is excessive bleeding after childbirth, the blood supply to the pituitary gland is affected. In severe cases, the gland may shut down completely and stop producing all the hormones including prolactin. This is called Sheehan's Syndrome.

The good news is that postpartum haemorrhage is not only preventable but can also be managed if detected promptly.

So now you know. Report any excess bleeding to your doctor or midwife immediately, even after you have been discharged home!

Did you know that breastfeeding can save lives and improve the health of both babies and mothers? 🤱🏻

Breastfeeding:

🔹 Provides all the nutrients a baby needs for the first 6 months.

🔹 Provides antibodies that protect the child against many illnesses like diarrhoea and pneumonia.

🔹 Reduces the risk of obesity and chronic diseases in children.

🔹 Reduces the risk of disease for the mother, including breast and ovarian cancer.

Additionally, breastfed children perform better on intelligence tests. 💡

🌍 Still, only 48% of babies under 6 months are exclusively breastfed.

WHO recommends that mothers:

✔ Start breastfeeding within the first hour after birth.

✔ Exclusively breastfeed for 6 months.

✔ Continue breastfeeding with complementary foods up to 2 years or beyond.

Let’s make sure every child gets the best start in life. 👶👶🏻👶🏾

Every hour, around 30 people lose their lives to drowning. 🌊

That’s more than 300,000 deaths every year. Most are preventable.

Yet, drowning remains one of the world’s most overlooked public health challenges. 🛟

💡 The best way to save a life is by preventing the danger from happening in the first place.

Simple prevention measures save thousands of lives every year:

🏊‍♀️ Learn swimming and water safety skills

👀 Closely supervise young children around water

🏡 Fence pools and cover wells or water containers

🦺 Wear a lifejacket when going on a boat or fishing

⛈️ Check the weather conditions

🚫 Don't consume alcohol or drugs when around water

🤝 Prevention starts with all of us. Share this post to help more people learn how drowning can be prevented.

Dear women in the reproductive age group (15 -49 years),

When was the last time you checked your iron levels?

Regular menstruation (especially if heavy) puts you at risk of iron deficiency.

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and Non-anemic iron deficiency (NAID) cause various symptoms:

- Headaches

- Chest pain

- Palpitations

- Difficulty breathing

- Brain fog

- Chronic fatigue

- Dry skin

- Hair loss

- Brittle nails

- Sleep disturbances

- Restless leg syndrome

- Depressed mood

Eat foods that are rich in iron: beef, liver, lentils, beans, pumpkin seeds, iron-fortified cereals, cashew nuts, spinach and other green vegetables.

For further information, talk to your doctor!

Being a new mom can be both joyful and overwhelming, and it's common to experience stress during this time. It's essential to recognise the signs of stress and learn how to manage it effectively. One way to do this is by seeking support from friends, family, or paid childcare providers. Talking about your feelings can help alleviate some of the pressure you may be feeling.

Finding time for self-care is crucial. This could mean taking short breaks throughout the day to relax, practising deep breathing exercises, or engaging in activities you enjoy. Prioritising sleep whenever possible can also help reduce stress levels.

Remember, it's okay to ask for help when you need it. Whether getting assistance with household chores or caring for the baby, accepting support can lighten your load and reduce stress.

Maintain a positive outlook and focus on the joys of motherhood, even during challenging moments.

By managing stress, you can improve your overall well-being and enjoy this special time with your baby to the fullest.

One day, after clinic, I realized I hadn't prescribed any medication for the majority of my patients.

Did I feel guilty? Of course not. I felt good because that means less people coming down with adverse effects of medications.

Even the ones who needed painkillers, I told them to go and buy them over the counter if it becomes necessary.

But guess what? They were all happy with my care. They were grateful for the time I spent talking with them and listening to their concerns. They appreciated the way I explained to them that pills or injections weren't necessary at that point.

That is the beauty of medicine. Not everything requires medicine (pun intended).

Even as a doctor, I don't take any medication until I have tried sleeping, a warm shower or a sumptuous meal!

Sometimes we only offer listening ears, reassurance, counselling or empowering information.

We're trained to make sure people don't take unnecessary medications. Although the pharmaceutical companies are out there to make huge profits, we're here to act as the gatekeepers and stewards.

Your health is your responsibility. Don't wait until things get worse before you show up at your doctor's office. Don't go to quacks who are only interested in selling unnecessary stuff to you. Don't go to uncertified herbalists who can't even explain how diseases work.

Take care of yourself.

👶🏾👶👶🏻 Did you know that proper newborn care can prevent many common health issues❓

Ensure a healthy start for your baby:
👩‍⚕️ Attend all newborn health visits. It's crucial for monitoring growth and early detection of illness.
🤱 Breastfeed to strengthen immunity and emotional bonding.
🛏️ Practice safe sleeping. Place your baby on their back, on a firm mattress, no pillows or loose bedding.
🤗 Spend time holding and interacting with your baby. Skin-to-skin bonding helps regulate your baby's temperature and heart rate.

🚩 Signs that may indicate your baby needs medical attention include fever, difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, diarrhoea, rashes, or unusual weakness.

While focusing on your baby, don't forget your own health—caring for yourself protects you both.
