CAN WE CHECK CERVICAL DILATION WITHOUT USING FINGERS? 🤔

Yes — but it depends on the stage of labour and the setting.

Traditionally, cervical dilation is checked through a vaginal examination using fingers. That’s the most direct and accurate way to know how many centimeters the cervix has opened.

However, there are other ways that can give us clues:

✨ Observation of labour signs
• Strength and frequency of contractions
• The sound a woman makes during contractions
• Behaviour changes (restlessness, deep focus, urge to push)
• Show (mucus plug mixed with mucus)
• Bulging perineum in second stage

✨ Ultrasound (in hospital settings)
• A transperineal ultrasound can sometimes estimate cervical opening without inserting fingers.
• Not commonly used in routine labour monitoring in many facilities, especially in Ghana.

✨ Labour progress patterns
• Regular, strong contractions every 2–3 minutes lasting 45–60 seconds often suggest active labour.

⚠️ Important:
Only a vaginal exam can accurately measure dilation in centimeters (1–10 cm).
But frequent unnecessary checks increase infection risk — especially after the water has broken.

As Midwives, we balance:
✔️ Accuracy
✔️ Comfort
✔️ Safety

Sometimes your body’s signs speak loudly enough.

RUPTURED ECTOPIC PREGNANCY – A MEDICAL EMERGENCY ⚠️

An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. If it ruptures, it can cause life-threatening internal bleeding.

Signs to watch for:
• Sudden, severe abdominal or pelvic pain (often one-sided)
• Vaginal bleeding
• Shoulder pain
• Dizziness, fainting, or rapid heartbeat

What to do:
If you experience these symptoms, seek emergency medical care immediately. A ruptured ectopic pregnancy cannot wait. Early detection saves lives.

Remember: Not all pregnancies feel “normal” in the early weeks. Always report unusual pain or bleeding to your midwife or doctor.

🩷 “Midwife, why is there a reddish stain in my baby’s diaper?”

A worried new mum rushed to the hospital after noticing a small pink or reddish discharge in her newborn baby girl’s diaper. She was frightened… but the explanation brought relief.

This is called pseudo me**es.

Sometimes, baby girls may have a small amount of pinkish discharge in the first few days of life. It happens because:
✔ During pregnancy, baby was exposed to mum’s hormones
✔ After birth, those hormones gradually withdraw from baby’s system
✔ The body reacts temporarily

It is:
✅ Normal
✅ Harmless
✅ Self-limiting (it stops on its own)

No treatment is needed — just reassurance and proper hygiene.

⚠ However, if the discharge is heavy, has a bad smell, lasts more than a few days, or you’re unsure, please visit a health facility.

Mothers, don’t panic — sometimes it’s just the body adjusting 💛

I have seen several kids die because the women were waiting for husbands to give them money before going to the hospital. That is not ok! If your husband has good ,but if he doesn’t or not around take the initiative and send your child to the hospital.

Don’t come and tell me it’s Christian to wait for your husband before sending your sick child to the hospital. That’s false!

Christian women are resourceful and take initiative. Christianity doesn’t teach any woman to be solely dependent on a man. That’s not Christianity!

It’s something else!!!

After I left the salon, I met a mum and what she said didn’t make me happy.

She showed me her child who is sick and immediately started blaming the father for not giving her money

I asked her , in this modern day you are still waiting to get money from your husband before you take your child to the hospital 😎

If something happens to the child is it only the father it will affect?

As a nurse this are some of the reasons babies and kids come to the hospital with complications. They are waiting for the husband’s to give money or approve before they seek medical attention

If you are following this page, please don’t do that. Get something that can make you some money

If your child is sick you can confidently go to the hospital . It’s life saving and can prevent complications 🙏🙏🙏🙏
